DAVIS POV
---- In the office ----- in the office
“Rio, what is my agenda today?”
“Later 15.00 there is a meeting with PT Megah Konstruksi, after it is empty, Mr”
“OK. Please don't add my agenda for the afternoon. I have need”.
“Good, Mr. Excuse me!” Rio turned around out of Davis' room.
After that I grabbed my phone, pressed someone's name to call.
“Hallo” votes across there.
“Hallo. Assalamu’alaikum Mbak. I'm Davis. Still snot right?”
“Wa’alaikum. Owh yes. Still want dong”

I'm closing my phone back. I also refocused on my work.
The Flashback
That night after dinner with the client, I felt like I really wanted to meet someone. Even though we are one office, but he always refused to be invited to lunch together. The only way I could meet him was to make a meeting schedule that invited his share.
During these few days, my agenda has been very solid. Many meetings with clients so that they can not slip internal meetings that invite his share.
In spirit, I drove my car to his apartment. I'm sure he's got no agenda anywhere on a weekday like this. After I arrived, I immediately parked my car in the guest parking area right in front of his apartment building.
After I opened my seatbelt and prepared to open the car door, my eyes, which were accidentally staring into the lobby of his apartment, caught someone rushing out of the building and into a car.
Without thinking much, I paused my intention to open the door. I put the seat belt back on and immediately start the engine and drive it forward, following the car that Narita was currently riding in.
Jakarta's streets are quite crowded, making it difficult for me to follow his car because it is covered by other cars. Until finally the car turned and entered a cafe courtyard. My eyes were wide when I saw Narita and Daniel getting out of the car. After waiting for the two to enter the cafe gate, I immediately turned my car into the cafe courtyard. I saw a lot of cars parked there.
Afraid of losing track of them, I rushed out of the car. I started to get confused when I went into the cafe, because there were no lights on.
Is the cafe closed? But the car that parked a lot--- I thought in my heart.
I entered with a sneak, until arriving at the back of the cafe there is a fairly large garden.
Back I was shocked when I found 2 central lights highlighting Daniel who was playing the piano and singing and highlighting Narita who was standing glued.
My heart warms, my hands clench, my chest rumbles incoherently. From the lyrics of the song he was singing. From the screenplay and acting that Daniel is doing. I know exactly what Daniel is doing for Narita.
Before the cafe lights came back on, I rushed back and left the cafe and went home. Unknowingly, I drove the car at a fairly high speed.
When I got home, I went straight to my room and went to the bathroom. One way to cool down and clear your mind is to soak cold water in a bath up.
Without feeling I soak long enough.
“I have to find a way for Narita to choose me!” my eyes looked in all directions as if I was looking for an idea.
“I'm sure Narita likes me, but why would she hesitate to accept me??”
“There must be a reason!”
I also went back to silence
“Hmmm,, Yes Sister Sriti”
“He must have tau”
“They even follow taaruf, there must be something Sriti knows but I don't know because Narita won't tell me”
Feeling that I got a pretty brilliant idea, I was satisfied and smiled smirk.
“Narita!”
“I make sure you will choose me!”
I took a shower, put on my nightgown, and tried to go to bed early.
Flashback Off
--- Cafe -----
I arrived at the cafe where we had agreed. I sent him a message when I got to the cafe.
“Sorry I'm late, Vis” exclaimed Sister Sriti who was in front of my desk at the time.
“Owh gakpapa Ma'am. How are you?” I stood up and stretched out my hand and she shook my hand and said “Alhamdullillah my good news”.
“Please mbak!” then Sister Sriti sat in my front seat.
“How are you doing, Vis?”
“Alhamdullillah I'm good, Mbak”
“Thank God. Narita how are you? How come you didn't take him?” tanyanya.
“Sorry yes I do not know the existence of Narita to you, because in fact even you who have met first with him than me!” Mbak Sriti chuckles.
“Yes gakpapa mbak. I can't take Narita because there's something I want to discuss with you about her”
“Discussion with me? How did you choose me, why?”
“Because I think she's more open with you than her genk in the office”
“Open? About what was nie?”
“Asmara” answered me steady looking into the eyes of mbak Sriti.
