"Yes, where?..." Zahra's eyes are already sparkling, he really needs money at this time for transportation costs to the city of Surabaya if he has free time.

"I don't believe you, brother, you can take this easy job. Usually put a job application letter, continue to wait for interview calls. Lah, I'm testing it right away."
"Udah, don't think too much. Maybe it's your fortune."
"Thank you, brother... Help me find work."
"Thank you not enough."
"Continue?...."
"Follow me out to the mall."
"But brother!..."
"Nothing but fireplace."
Zahra no longer refuted Dion's words, she entered the car followed by Dion.
A little while later the car had arrived in front of the mall, Dion entered the parking lot. After parking his car Dion and Zahra got out of the car and entered the mall.
Inside the Mall, Dion bought 2 glasses of cold drink. And give it one for Zahra.
"It."
"Thank you" Zahra said after receiving a chilled drink from Dion.
Dion took Zahra to the ground floor of the Mall where the SME business exhibition was held. There are many various works that are exhibited and sold. Like handmade flowers, handicrafts made of rattan. Self-knit clothes, painting shoes, painting art, snacks, food and much more.
The two of them walked together around the contents of the exhibition while sipping their cold drinks.
"Kesana yuk." Dion pulls Zahra's bag and takes it to the stand of the salesman's accessories. Dion took the forest hunter's hat and black glasses and put them on.
"Zahra, how?... It's not good to be a forest hunter."
"Ah, it doesn't fit brother." Zahra chuckled at Dion's appearance.
"Hahahaha, yes. Where there's a handsome hunter like me."
"Hahaha, I just found out that Dion's brother is narcissistic."
"Hahaha, kidding. Come on over there." Without Zahra's approval, Dion pulled Zahra's bag and took her to the painting stand.
"Bang, please paint us." Pinta Dion.
"Not to brother." Zahra continued to resist but Dion kept pushing until she was forced to obey.
"But the painting is half body."
"Up to you."
Dion and Zahra sat down at the place where they had been prepared to pose. Dion poses with a red rose on Zahra but looks away, while Zahra holds a rose in Dion's grasp but looks at Dion.
The painter began to paint Zahra and Dion with focus and concentration. After a long time, Dion and Zahra heard a familiar voice in their ears.
"Zahra, brother Dion." Zahra and Dion turned to the origin of the voice. Nadine stood beside Zain hand in hand.
