On the way to the contract.
Dafin in the back seat was too focused with the tab in hand and did not realize that there was a pair of eyes that looked at him several times from behind the wheel. It is like not disturbed at all after the palm fungus, two seeds of salak and a bush of pride seen by others.
While the girl who saw it had not been able to unravel the awkwardness from earlier. He trembled with a mind that floated. He could not focus on anything until the sound of darkness from behind resuscitated.
"May ...."
"I-, yeah, sir," Fia replied stammeredly.
"Forget about that. I hope you can erase it from your memory," said Dafin who pitched flat. He did not even see the Fia he was talking to.
"Only earlier? Which question, yes, sir?" answer Fia. A second later I realized what the boss meant. Quickly he covered his mouth with his hands and then glanced back at the middle mirror of the car.
"Yes the question you saw. I hope you can forget it. Because if you keep in mind you will not focus on work," explained Dafin without burden. He was busy crossing the tab in front. "Are you ready to quit your job?" continued again.
Quickly Fia shook her head, she swallowed her saliva slowly. "I didn't see anything, really. I swear," he replied, a second later hitting his lips again. Obviously he saw the thing live, how could he not confess now? The girl cursed her own stupidity.
While Dafin smiled and reached into the large envelope from the bag, he said, "Good. Now, clap the car."
Fia according to and from behind Dafin handed him a chocolate map.
"Just in case, this is our fake relationship contract. Read carefully," said Dafin, keeping a flat tone.
Slowly Fia opened the envelope. He read it thoroughly. His forehead frowned after reading the point by point that was inside there.
"But, Mr. .. is this?"
"During my fiancee, I forbid you to be in touch with any man. You can't be friends or close to anyone other than me. You can just go to work and come home with me. Like not like it, inevitably you must always be on my watch," said Dafin full of emphasis. He could see Fia's restless facial expression from the reflection of the mirror.
"That includes Dafan and Kevin, too" Dafin continued
"But, Mr ...."
"I know he's my brother. But you better be careful. I'm afraid someone will suspect."
Fia nodded doubtfully. "But this seems excessive," refuted Fia carefully.
Dafin shook his head calmly. "No word is exaggerated. The culprit hasn't been caught yet. He seemed to be after me a long time ago. And automatically now he's also stalking you. So I ask, keep the behavior when there is no me near you. You understand?"
"Good Sir. I understand," replied Fia even though the conditions that Dafin gave her made no sense.
"I also suspect that Sisi's accident has something to do with the perpetrator. That's why I ask you to always be with me. And if you're going anywhere, please call me."
Again Fia gulped. Didn't think he really had to act like a girlfriend who had to give news. He also did not think that the boss had an enemy that was relatively desperate even to cause an accident. Suddenly Fia's guts shrieked. Suddenly regret for helping Dafin attack his mind.
"Why? You scared?" sneak Dafin when he saw Fia's anxious expression. But Fia answered him with a headband.
"Good, now we're in the same boat. If I drown, you will not survive. So before the culprit gets caught I ask you to be careful. Never break an important point in the contract."
"Well sir, I understand" Fia replied with a long breath. Retreating is too late. The only way to survive is to hear instructions from Dafin.
Dafin. "Good, I love your loyalty, and as a thank you I have signed up your sisters to get a scholarship from the company. So you don't have to think about them anymore because I've guaranteed their education until they finish college."
Instantly Fia turned her head and saw Dafin fixedly. "Seriously sir?" tanyanya could not believe it.
"Yes, and your parents have also moved me. They temporarily stayed in my family's villa which was there. I will guarantee the safety of your family until we catch the culprit" Dafin continued.
Fia was silent, lips attracted by the dew that was ready to spill at any time. He was moved by the boss also thinking about his family in Bali.
"Thank you very much, sir. Thank you for thinking about my family's safety and future" she said with gratitude
"Yes, of course. It's not all that big of a thing to me. I always return the kindness of people. So I hope you can also work as much as possible," explained Dafin again.
Fia nodded enthusiastically. She was a shed tear. "I'll work fine."
"And one more thing, inside that envelope was a black card from me. If you want to buy something, wear it. Don't use that card from the company."
"Card?" Fia who still did not fully understand reached into the envelope and found a debit card. He held the card and then glanced back at Dafin who was behind. "This ... is it for me?"
"Yes. That's for you," said Dafin.
Fia began to hesitate.His forehead frowned again. "But sir, I don't need this."
"From now on you need it for the sake of our relationship. You should use it to change your appearance. I don't want people to assume that I'm stingy with my own boyfriend."
Fia began to be unhappy, she snorted and then noticed her own appearance. There was nothing wrong with the clothes he was wearing. He was always neat and wasn't that important as a secretary?
"I'm not saying we're looking bad. You also need a party dress. Don't let your dinner wear work clothes." Dafin remained calm despite saying that. To him honestly it is necessary and lying will only waste time.
Fia grinned, she only realized that Dafin was watching her to the point of appearance.
"Buy what you want with it
Because I'm sure from now on there will be many events that we have to attend" Dafin explained again.
Fia. They returned to travel until both were hired.
"It seems that Kevin's attention is more than a friend" Dafin chirped from behind.
"I mean Father?" Fia who did not understand grasped tightly the steering wheel. He felt the boss was insinuating. It's impossible for Kevin to be. He himself who heard Kevin's feelings for him was just a friend.
"That's it. Don't discuss it. Please change your clothes quickly and then we go to the office. I don't want us to be late just because of him" Dafin said. His eyes kept glancing at Kevin. The man started to approach the car.
While Fia, sighed softly. The boss' words sounded mocking in his ears, not to mention that he knew that Kevin's presence was to persuade him to return. Suddenly his head pulsated. He took off his seatbelt, but when he opened the door the Dafin again said, "Remember, our contract applies to Kevin. Even if you're best friends I hope you keep our secrets and keep your distance for a while."
Fia nodded and agreed before finally leaving Dafin alone in the car. The man watched Fia from inside.
"I'm sure your life is hard enough to be surrounded by a lot of men." Dafin sighed as he recalled the conversation Fia and Dafan had last night. Suddenly he felt angry. The removal of the tab in the hand then loosened the tie which somehow seemed to strangle the neck.
"What'sthis? Why am I uncomfortable? Am I jealous?" he muttered again when he saw Fia and Kevin talking seriously.

Meanwhile in Semarang.
Anya breakfast fried rice egg ceplok with her new family. In the minimalist house owned by Lita—friends of the mother—plananya Anya will stay until graduation. Lita lives with her stepdaughter, Livia. Since her husband was arrested by the police, Lita was the one who took care of Livia until the little girl who was the same age as Dafan and Dafin was growing up and now teaches at one of the high schools in Semarang.
They had breakfast facing each other at the small dining table. Anya who began to be uncomfortable just stirring it without intending to eat. He suddenly missed Litania's delicious cuisine and involuntarily let out a long sigh. Of course the sound of the nose made Lita offended.
"Why not eat?" ask Lita. He glared at the cuisine he made just so toy material Anya. "Nice?" lita again.
Anya nodded in shock and immediately shuddered when she saw Lita's gaze. "No, Bude. It's delicious. Really. Suer," Anya replied as she forced a smile. The index and middle fingers form the letter V.
"Then let's eat. Later you are late," explained Lita again with a face that still looks unfriendly. There is no smile at all that makes Anya miss her mother even more.
With a heavy heart and he had to swallow the fried rice. Usually at home he will be suguhi various kinds of side dishes, but look now, in front of him there is no choice at all, there are only eggs and tempe bacem.
Mother, Anya wants to go home, she complained while chewing fried rice.
"Oiya, New. The textbooks are hard to prepare, aren't they?" livia's sela unravels awkwardness. He knew that Anya was horrified by her mother's stare which could be said to be sharp. So as much as possible he mediates so that the teenagers are not stressed during their stay together.
"Udah kok, Sis already everything," Anya replied after downing the white water next to her.
"Yes already." Livia glanced at the clock in hand, "we're leaving now? Or ... Do you still want to eat?" livia again.
Quickly Anya shook her head then glanced at Lita's fierce face. Without waiting for long, he stood up. "Udah, Brother. I think I'll continue to have breakfast in the cafeteria. Again no appetite," he relaxed without seeing Lita's facial expression turned sour again.
"What do you mean? Are you saying that the food I cook is not good?" lita Cecar. He looks like he's tightening his jaw.
Anya is flirting. He shook his hand while shaking. "Not Bude. That's not what I mean, I ...." Pause for a moment. He tries to find an excuse.
"What?" cut off the impatient Lita.
"I ... I'm again coming to the moon. So the built-in stomach doesn't taste good at breakfast."
Finally the lie came out smoothly from Anya's throat. Lucky Lita believes. The sour face that had formed on the middle-aged woman's face faded away instantly. Lita then noticed the beautiful face of Livia who was already standing up and preparing. "You guys be careful? Don't speed it."
"Yes" answered Livia, grabbing the key to the bike on the table. He kissed the back of Lita's hand. Anya who saw inevitably also kissed the back of the fierce woman's hand.
"We set out, Bude," said Anya and only in reply Lita with calm.
Livia's black meticulous motor pulls it out of the garage and gives Anya a helmet
"Bareng Kakar just set off. Than riding ojol. Kan darling. The money you save to add your pocket money," said Livia kindly, a smile still printed clearly on the face.
Hearing that Anya's like she's got a sugar spill. Not because fascinated to see Livia's smile, but the fact that transportation allowance money will not be drained out just for online motorcycle taxi. It's a helmet that's in Livia's hand.
"Thank you, brother. Thanks much. The best brother" he said, showing two thumbs.
Livia smiled as she patted the seat as a code for Anya to sit down. "The spikes are up."
Along the way Anya saw the view of the city of Semarang that somehow made it comfortable. Semarang is not as crowded as Jakarta. How thought.
However, when he saw the rearview mirror looked the reflection of a man with a black helmet and leather jacket following from behind. And he remembered that the driver had been following him since he got out of the house.
Pissed, Anya then sat down, Mother outrageous deh, waste of money, I was told to be frugal while he hired a stalker who obviously his salary is bigger than my pocket.
He grabbed the phone in the bag and sent a message to Litania.
[Bun, instead of sending people to follow me mending money to add my pocket money.] Send
Shortly a reply from Litania was received.
[Don't ngadi ngadi. Why Mother hires everyone just to follow you. You are good at fighting. Mommy sure no one will dare to macem-macem the same woman half thugs your cake]
"Dih Mommy ngaku again," snorted the girl while smiling obliquely. He put the phone back in the bag and hugged Livia's waist tight.
New school, I'm coming ....
