Johan always busy himself to work continuously.Help with his daughter is still the same.Every morning, he must have breakfast alone.Arum will come out of his room after he left, and it continues until here.

Johan stopped his activities and leaned back and opened his glasses.His head felt dizzy, he thought as if divided into two.First he thought of Arum, both he thought of his work.

GECK....GECK....

"Look in." said Johan

Bastian knocked on the door and went straight inside.

"What's up." Johan said directly

"Today there was a meeting with Mr. Edrick at 13:30 p.m., and one was already twelve o'clock" Bastian said

"really? Ck...I forgot about it." Johan muttered.

"Master, it's lunchtime" Bastian said

"alright. All right, thanks for reminding me." said Johan

Johan will talk a lot to the people closest to him.Very different when he is in front of others, he will be a cold person.

"Yes sir."

Then Johan told Bastian to buy food and drinks.Actually, Johan wanted to eat in the cafeteria.But he did not like the crowd.Not long after, Bastian came to bring Johan's order.

Then Johan told Bastian to put his order on the table close to the sofa.Johan immediately sat down to the soda, he also told Bastian to eat with him.Decorately Bastian refused, if he was full.

"Don't refuse, Bas. I know if you haven't eaten yet, hurry up with me. This is an order!"johan

Time has shown at 12:45, they will leave for a restaurant.There is still time to rest, and Johan immediately leaned his body.Today feels so tiring for him.

After enough rest, he glanced at his watch.Having been at 13:00, he immediately prepared to go to their meeting place.Johan left with Bastian, and they arrived there.

Although not on time specified, but Edrick had come first.He immediately rose from his chair when he saw Johan with Bastian stepping in his direction.

"Good afternoon Johan."

"Good afternoon, Edrick."

They shake hands, they are used to meet and mention each other's names, because they have long been doing business together and also friends.Then they discuss about their business together.Their talks continue,until finally.More precisely at three o'clock in the afternoon, their meeting ended and they separated.

The next morning, Fandi and Faisal were getting ready to apply for a job together.

"May you get a job soon." said Ustadz Hussein

"Amiinnn." said Fandi and Faisal together

After that, they say goodbye to ustadz Hussein.They walk away and apply for a job to and fro.However, until twelve o'clock in the afternoon.No one accepts them.They both stop for a moment by stopping by to a stall.And eat there.

When their rice was half over, suddenly a young woman approached them.Faisal who first saw the woman, coded Fandi.

"Shutt's....Fan..Tu girl who? Your girl ?"ask Faisal who's kepo

Fandi glanced at ,"No." said Fandi indifferently and resumed his meal.

The woman arrived beside them."You're the one named Fandi." asked the woman as she stared at Fandi

"Know, I'm Faisal." said Faisal thrust his right hand that he had washed.But the woman ignored him, Faisal also pulled back his hand.

'Broast this chick, good luck pretty." Faisal said

Fandi did not know this woman, but she politely replied."Aye." Yeah."

"Good, that means you're Arum's girlfriend." said the woman again

Fandi's eyebrows swooped down."How do I know if my girlfriend is Arum." said Fandi asked

"Of course I know, she is my friend.Know my name is Sofia." said the woman reached out her hand to Fandi,but Fandi immediately put his two palms together.So the woman again pulled his hand and held the shame.As for Faisal wanted to laugh, he was treated like that by a woman named Sofia.

"What's wrong?"ask Fandi directly

"Look, I want to talk to you. Do you have time?"said Sofia

"Sorry, I have no time.After eating, we will find work." said Fandi who had finished his meal, as well as Faisal.

"If you want to talk to me, I'll put you in my company.How about it?"haggle with that woman

Fandi thinks, for what he's accepted.If his friend doesn't, it's better he just refuses."I'm sorry, I can't.I'll find a job with my friend."

"I will also accept him to work in my company. Would you like to ?"ask Sofia again

"Thank you, Fan. This is a good opportunity." whispered Faisal

After finishing eating, Fandi finally agreed, they also talked about Arum.Sofia told Fandi,if it will help them unite and will surely be sanctioned Johan.If Fandi and Arum do the plan that Sofia Tells Arum.

At first Fandi refused, because this plan was too risky.However, Sofia said that if Fandi wanted to.If not, it might be difficult for Fandi to approach Arum again.Especially Arum is the son of a rich man, Arum is a rich man,it could be that his father will match Arum with the son of his business partner.Dan Fandi increasingly difficult to get Arum again.After that, Fandi told Sofia.If he will think about it first.

Sofia also gave time for Fandi to think about it all.And then he asked for Fandi's phone number, Fandi also handed it to Sofia.After Sofia's departure,Fandi and Faisal immediately came out of the shop after paying for their food and drinks.After that they went home.Because they had gotten a job from Sofia.

"Alhamdulillah, finally get a job." said Fandi

"It's all thanks to you, Fan." said Faisal

"Ahh no,Fai. It's a coincidence." said Fandi

Then they went home on foot.After arriving home, they took turns bathing.
