5. Seeking Mercy

Hearing Vishnu's question, Haifa instantly kept silent. Confused what to answer? Time he must answer want acquaintance with Den Vishnu. The real thing, later considered cheap women because they pursue men.

“Hei! Asked why dream?” vishnu's reprimand saw Haifa instead daydreaming instead of answering Vishnu's question.

“Iya, Den?”

Haifa awoke from her daydream.

“What do you want to go to Jakarta? Vacation or looking for work?” ask Vishnu again.

“Holiday, Den. Thank you for being able to work,” Haifa replied.

“Small water drinking dive, yes?” ask Vishnu.

“Iya, Den,” Haifa replied.

Vishnu had eaten, and Haifa cleaned up Vishnu's food.

“Den Vishnu, said Ibu Deswita do not forget to eat medicine,” said Haifa reminded Vishnu.

Vishnu sighed.

“Please get my medicine in my suit pocket,” says Vishnu.

“Suwit is what, yes Den?” haifa asked who did not understand what Vishnu meant.

“Not a suwit. But suit is a suit,” said Vishnu.

“Oh.jas.”

Haifa went to Vishnu's office, and Vishnu's suit was hung in his chair.

Haifa reached into Vishnu's pocket suit to take the medicine. Then Haifa gave the medicine to Vishnu.

“I fill the water first.”

Haifa took Vishnu's glass on the sofa table and filled it with water from the dispenser. Then he put the glass back on the sofa table.

“Thank you,” says Vishnu.

Vishnu took the drugs one by one and then drank them. Haifa noticed that the medicine Vishnu took was quite a lot as well. Haifa cleaned the sofa table until it looked clean again.

After Haifa said goodbye to go home.

“Den Vishnu, I say back,” said Haifa.

Vishnu nodded.

“Whose home are you?” ask Vishnu.

“Sama Mang Diman, Den,” Haifa replied.

“Be careful on the road,” says Vishnu.

“Iya, Den.” Haifa stepped towards the door.

“Can't ride the liff?” vishnu asked as Haifa was about to leave the room.

“Can't, Den. Use the stairs only, afraid of being cooped up in the liff,” Haifa replied.

Vishnu got off the couch.

“Let's teach me how to use the liff,” said Vishnu who preceded Haifa out of his room.

“Rita, I go down first, yes,” Vishnu said when he came out of his room.

“Iya, Sir,” replied Rita.

“You noticed me,” said Vishnu as they were about to enter the cliff.

“Iya, Den.”

Haifa noticed Vishnu how to use the liff. Vishnu also tells Haifa what to do when trapped inside the cliff.

Finally they arrived on the ground floor. Haifa came out of the liff and Vishnu kept the door of the liff from closing.

“Tomorrow if you come up here by yourself, yes! Don't drive Zulkifli!” Vishnu.

“Iya, Den. Assalamualaikum,” says Haifa.

“Waalaikumsalam,” reply Vishnu.

Vishnu closed the liff door again and the liffpun moved to the top floor.

Haifa walked towards the parking lot, looking for Mang Diman.
