"Are you okay?" Piere approached Amara as the girl checked several things in her cooking room.
"Hmm .." Amara muttered but did not turn her eyes away. It was as if he was hiding his face.
"okay." The young man retreated away.
"Oh yeah, Piere." Then Amara turned the body. "I ordered the cctv. Are four pieces enough?"
"Umm .. Yeah, I think four is enough. We'll place two indoors, one on the ceiling of the second-floor balcony, and another one outside." Piere.
"okay." Amara turned again.
"Oh yeah, later if Nania and Ardi come, please help them with the grocery, huh? I have to prepare some things for the order."
Piere nodded his head. And he was still staring at the girl who had lowered her head back to hide her puffy face. It must have been the rest of last night's crying that she heard was loud enough before she finally left him alone there.
"Morning good?" Daryl arrived just before the store opened.
"Sister? Why are you here early in the morning?" Amara's attention was distracted.
"I've come to help." The man with his smile as bright as the sun.
"They haven't opened yet."
"It's okay, I'm bored at home."
"Say that Saturday will take a break. After a week of tired work, want to have funn?"
"Here I want to have funn." Daryl's closing in on the pantry.
"What?"
"Build you work." He chuckles.
"Where's Brother Darren?"
"Ah, he's busy with work."
"At Saturday?"
"He'd rather work. Monday to Friday is not enough for him."
"Oo nice dong?"
"What good? It's boring."
Amara laughed softly.
"Eh, what's wrong with you? It hurt?" Daryl looked at the girl's face and eyes.
"Huh? Umm …"
"Are you crying? Why?" Daryl leaned his body.
"That's .. I …."
"Crying because we're tired? Just found out what it feels like to work? Dizziness right?" Daryl chuckles.
"Ah, yes. Last night I checked a lot of things for lack of sleep. Continue …."
"Makanya, let's get married? So you don't have to be tired of working like this. Let me work for you."
Amara throws her mouth, while Piere turns the eyeballs behind the girl.
"Mommy's gonna be sister-in-law? Not funny." ketus Amara.
Daryl laughed.
"Silver isn't funny either." The girl then nodded.
"Yes, because you're the only one who's funny." Daryl laughed again until finally the conversation was interrupted when two employees arrived.
"Have you come?" Amara reacts. Looking at Nania and Ardi who were carrying a lot of stuff in their hands.
"Yes, ask for help dong." Ardi answered, and Raka and Nindi rushed out when one of his colleagues returned to the Amara car he was using to shop for materials. So did Piere.
"Where was the Junior High this early in the morning?" Daryl.
"Son SMP?" Amara.
"Noran."
"Oh, why is it called Junior High?"
"You know what graduate he is?"
"Know. He graduated Junior High."
"Well that is."
"Why indeed?"
"I think working in a place like this should be at least a high school graduate."
"Not really. Because he wants to work, I accept. Pity him for begging."
"The current era of SMP graduates is still accepted for work as well?"
"If I were. What matters is that he wants to work. Why why anyway? Trouble?"
Daryl did not answer, but he still noticed the little girl who was pacing around moving groceries from outside into the store.
"Hey!!" Amara patted her shoulder hard.
"I just can't believe that in this age there are still people who don't go to school?"
"Hey, everyone's ability is different. Some of us don't live where they live, or live what they live."
"Seriously, I was thinking …."
"Don't you think Nania?"
"What?" Daryl frowned.
"Don't think about people's children, now's the time to think about yourself. Brother just worked already want to think of girls people?" Amara came out of her place just now then checked the item that had just come.
"Hey, I don't mean it! After all, why is that the way you talk to me? I'm more mature than you know?"
"Cieee ... think of my employees? Just got me married, but his mind went to someone else? Basic labile!" Amara sneers.
"What?"
Amara laughs. As usual, the presence of the man always changed his mood to be more cheerful.
"Nania, Sister Daryl …." Amara was about to speak but the man immediately grabbed her shoulders and smothered her mouth.
"That .. Mm…"
"What's? What you say? It's not like what you think! Don't even try to …"
"Gee! What a big brother!" Amara let go of the man's hand that held her tight.
"I mean that it was Sister Daryl who picked it up, not you" he told Nania who was about to lift a large bag of potatoes from the outside.
"Oh, .. It's okay, brother, I can. Just a little more." Nania answered.
"Ughh! What the hell is this brother?" Amara mendelik while breaking away from her father's sister-in-law. While Daryl just clenched his mouth tightly.
"Well, Nania's with Nindy up front, Ardi's with Piere in the kitchen. While I'm with Raka prepare to make an order, let us post tonight. And I hope you can all stay here tonight. So tomorrow, by lunchtime we're taking the order to the hospital." Amara instructed her employees.
"Don't worry, there's Brother Daryl who'll help you up front." He looked at the man who was engrossed in his food.
"This is our first order for large quantity, so hopefully everything is smooth huh? And spirit!" The girl clenched her hands in the air.
Then all the activities began on that day, and they worked with passion. It was Amara's spirit that diverted all the worries of her heart.

"How is he doing?" Arfan asked as soon as he saw Andra welcoming him in the hallway leading to the treatment room.
After getting a report from Piere last night who found the man lying in the middle of a deserted road under the rain, he immediately ordered some people to deal with it.
"He's unconscious, but fine. Just the effect of sleeping pills and their painkillers." Andra replied while showing the place where Galang was being treated.
And there the young man was, lying in bed in a mess. His face and some parts of his body were bruised, especially his chin and cheeks that got a kick and a punch a lot last night.
"His parents have been told?" ask Arfan who is standing at the end of the bed.
"It was dawn. They're on their way with Angga."
Arfan nodded his head.
"Have you got the information?" The man asked again.
"It."
"Then?"
"As you might expect."
"Mara?"
Andra is now the one who nodded.
"Have you done something?"
"Still gathering evidence sir."
"If you have the information why are you still collecting evidence? Why don't you just drag the guy? Too slow of your action?" Arfan nagging.
"The problem is that we have not received information from Galang. Maybe the guy said something before he left?"
"At this time the most potential to harm Galang is the woman. Then what else do you doubt? How long have you been working for Nikolai Group?"
"I'm trying not to be rash, sir. Because as you've said, if Bu Larra is a sneaky."
"Indeed. That's why you need to act immediately."
“Bu Larra will definitely not be rash about this either. He must have planned it carefully so as to have the courage to act. And I think he also has other plans in case we hunt him to where we already know.”
“Hmm ...” Arfan took a deep breath while pursing his mouth.
“So we have to arrange the plan as well as possible. Because maybe he had planned this, and knew that we would react when we disturbed Galang. Do not rule out the possibility also if he targets other things by making us busy taking care of Galang.”
Arfan was silent for a moment.
"I think he's been wary of her from yesterday? It's like this." Then he spoke again.
"I can't take care of everyone, my priority is my family, because he should be able to take care of himself. I have to think about her situation too?" Arfan murmuring.
Then there were hasty steps outside, then the door was pushed quickly. And Clarra's face that came after her. He had come with both of his parents as soon as he got word from Andra a moment before.
"How can you?" Clarra rushed to him.
"Guard is okay, he just …."
"What's going on? How can you be like this? Lang?" The woman checked her condition. He framed Galang's face and confirmed his condition.
Andra and Arfan glanced at each other.
"I told you you have to go straight home, right? Why was it on the street last night?" he said with worry.
“What happened Sir?” Then Clarra turned to the two men nearby.
“As I said earlier, if someone beats him for no apparent reason, and when Piere finds him he is already half unconscious.” explained Andra.
“Piere?”
“Officers Ara.”
“Ara's employees? Is it from Ara's place? Didn't you after driving me he came home?”
“We didn't know about it, but Piere found it on the way home. And yes, he contacted me, so ...”
“What might have something to do with Mama?" Clarra remembered something.
“Why do you think like that?” Andra asked back.
“A few days before we met Mama, and I told her to no longer contact let alone meet me. And we think he's agreed on that. But a few days later Mama continued to contact, even after I blocked all access to communication with her.”
“Then?”
“I keep blocking numbers that contact.”
“What did your mother say? Did he threaten to do something?”
“Mama asks for help, she's in trouble. Am I wrong if I do not provide help?” Clarra.
“Then?”
Clarra remembers again.
“Enight .. Mama called again with a different number.”
“Hah, once this guy's intention?” Andra reacts.
“What did he say?”Â
“He asked if Galang was blocking me from helping him?’
“And what did you say?”
“I only replied if Galang said that I should dare to refuse and face Mama.”
“What else?”
“Only it.”
“Your mother didn't say anything else?” Arfan is getting curious.
“Mama just said if I would regret having rejected it.”
“Gosh!” Now Fahmi's doctor is reacting. “Why didn't you tell us?” He approached his daughter.
“I guess there is nothing serious about it, so ...”
“Nothing is not serious. He's Larra, he'll do whatever it takes to get what he wants. The truth is sometimes bitter, but you should know that that's how your mother is.”
Clarra's speechless.
“Sorry, but that's the reality. All you know is far from the end of his nails. But your actions are right by rejecting him, because if only you let him go too far into your life, then it is certain that he will control you.”
“Why did he do such a bad thing?”
“The reason is only one. That is the asset you have that is a gift from Mr. Satria.”
Clarra looked grunting.
“Sounds bad, but that's Larra.”
“Bapak can guarantee if it is true?”
“Once Larra, then forever she is Larra. Do you remember how the first time he met you?”
“Yes, just suddenly come to school and say if she's my mama.”
“Makes you confused right?”
Clarra nodded her head.
“Then?’
“She kept coming and said she wanted to spend a lot of time with me, without saying anything other than that. And only recently did he apologize for abandoning me.”
“Do you think it's not suspicious?”
“I don't know.”
“You know, his ambition has cost a lot of people. Not now, not before. And you saw for yourself how?” Arfan glanced towards Galang who was still asleep.
Clarra closed her mouth tightly.
“If it is true what happened to Galang has something to do with Larra, then I will make sure he will not be able to get away with it. Sorry Cla, but your mom still does not understand even though she has got a reply for her actions.” said Arfan who then left.
“Oh, .. one more thing.” The man stopped and looked. “You should be grateful that he left, because it turns out his bad deeds have led you to two of the nicest people in the world who have cared for you so well, in accordance with his promise to Mr. Satria. That they will make you a great person, and that is proven.” He glanced at Fahmi and Vita.
“Sad but true, Clarra.” said again, and she left immediately.
