Still Jefri POV's.
"I want us to go back to our own home, after all I can take care of Nathan and Naila" Tika said as we headed home to my mother-in-law.
I immediately responded to his remark, "I ran my business in the office first huh. Let me have a little loose time." Sometimes I look at him looking at me and smile. Then I refocused on the road in front of me.
In my heart, I honestly want to return to our home. Living with my little family. It's not that I don't like living in my mother-in-law's house, it's just that I'm ashamed of Max, if I can't protect his sister.
But maybe, I'll bring my family back to our house soon. P*rsetan with that physco guy, I can take care of Tika and also my two children after the problems in the office are over. Yeah, I can do that.
Time has shown at ten in the morning, when we arrived at the door of my mother-in-law's house. Tika immediately entered and looked for the whereabouts of our two children who turned out to be sunbathing in the backyard with mamah and Shilla. Max was suddenly sitting in the middle room. Read the newspaper with the television on.
I decided to approach Max, sitting next to him. "Watch?" I asked him what he answered by shaking his head. Then I grabbed the remote and changed the television channel.
"What time did last night start?" The voice asked Max behind the newspaper sheet covering his face. I don't understand what he meant.
"Began what?"
"Oh, come on, bro. Haikal gave me the gift, didn't he?"
For a moment I was silent, trying to digest the sentence that Max meant, which a few seconds later I understood what the question meant. "Oh, that. I don't use that, Max," I said quickly, which made Max laugh out loud and stop reading the paper.
As a result of that laugh, I felt ashamed. Max and Haikal are a great fit. The perfect combination between nosy and ignorant. I didn't think it was made.
Then I asked him why he didn't go to the office today. The reason is not much different from me. And reflecting on Max's life in taking care of his company, there are many lessons I can take. Maybe someday I'll learn from Max about the company.
I want to be like him when I lead the company. Looks wise, but brave, looks a lot to have time for family. And it looks so very protective. Yeah, at least that's what I saw in my eyes about him.

Tika POVs.
I immediately walked to the backyard to meet my two children who were busy sunbathing with others. They both seem to be asleep.
"Have you had breakfast?" mama asked surprised me.
Then I said, "Udah, Mah, I made a fried rice omelette for him."
After that, Shilla and I talked about what happened yesterday, how Jefri made all those surprises for me. Talk about how acting all of them in my style.
Then we went back inside the house once the sunlight started getting hotter. He also returned to the kitchen to prepare lunch. And at the same time I saw Jefri going up to our room. I soon caught up with him and took our two children with us in his carriage.
"Why you?" I was facing Jefri when he opened the wardrobe.
His face was confused as I asked that question. "I'm fine" he answered, then kissed my lips.
"You gotta kiss me more every day." I said it so carelessly that made her laugh.
"Why is that?"
"Let your mood always be good." I pulled his shirt and then kissed him back.
After that we changed our clothes with special clothes at home only. I was going to go back downstairs, see Max. Yeah, I wanted to tell Max if I wanted to go back to our house. But the intention was not so I did because Jefri suddenly asked me to accompany him to check the work email on the bed. And I granted her request.
Not feeling the time passed so quickly, I woke up from my sleep due to the ringing tone of Jefri's phone which immediately sounded very loud.
🎶
Can't we just talk?
Can't we just talk?
Talk about where we're goin'
Before we get lost
Let me out first
Can't get what we want without knowin'
I've never felt like this before
I apologize if I'm movin' too far
Can't we just talk?
Can't we just talk?
Figure out where we're growingin'
🎶
I blinked my eyes as Jefri managed to stand up and grab his phone from my dresser. And accompanied by the crying voice of Naila and Nathan who seemed also surprised. I stood up and tried to calm them down.
At first glance my eyes looked at Jefri who was still staring at the screen of his phone. With the look Jefri was displaying not so I could describe, it was just that there was a fold on his forehead, perhaps.
I left both of our children as soon as they fell asleep again and I moved my feet closer to Jefri. Then ask him who called him. "Is everything all right? Who's calling?"
Jefri raised his face to look at me, "Unknown number," he said to coincide with the sound of knocking on the door of the room.
Tok tok!
"Tick ... Jeff ... let's have lunch" cried Shilla's voice from behind the door. I'm disinheriting.
Then again turned to look at Jefri who now put his phone on the table, "Silent mode. Come on down, I'm hungry." He walked up to me and pulled my hand to follow in his footsteps, leaving his phone there.
However, my tongue felt muddy, I hesitantly wanted to say that to them at this moment. They all looked happy, looking happy. I took a breath and continued my lunch.

Jefri POV's.
Actually my mind was still left in the room, due to the unknown phone earlier. But I try to forget that, because for me right now the most important thing remains the same, my priority is to make my wife and children happy and live well. But if living here continues, I feel unable to protect and support my family fully.
After lunch, I approached Max, who was smoking his cigarette in the backyard. Then I told her my heart.
"I can't ban you or Tika, but I'm just proposing, stay here for a while, Jeff." Max gave me a suggestion.
"When do you want Max? I also have to tell Tika that the man is still hanging around out there. We have to be frank with him. Whatever condition. Let him not misstep and not be rash again like before."
"Yes, I get it. I have thought about this many times too. It might have been better if Tika knew everything. But not for what I've done."
"If that part, all the decisions are in your hands."
I talked to Max a lot that afternoon, from Dana's problems, the terror that we suspected was the same source, about my company, even about how Max managed his company. There is so much he taught me.
Until it is not felt, sunlight slowly begins to fall from its original position. It dimmed accompanied by a cool breeze as a sign that another day had passed.
It continues like that we go day by day. Do the routine as usual. Without getting bored and without complaints, because unknowingly that is all we can do right now.
Same with my problems at the office. The days passed, there was no progress on Mr. Hardi's problem until today I got a message from a number that I did not know. It said that he saw Mr. Hardi sitting in one of the famous restaurants in this city, like he was waiting for someone.
Before long, the number again sent me an address and a photo, which featured the figure of Mr. Hardi and a woman from behind. Again I looked at the address sent. And sure enough, that address is not far from my office.
Tok tok!
The sound of knocking from the door of my room, made me immediately turn my head and find the figure of Brandy standing in the doorway. "Can I come in?"
I immediately stood up from my chair and grabbed back my phone which I had released from my grasp. Then with a gesture of my hand, I told Brandy to come in and I thrust my phone screen at her.
"This is your guy's number, isn't it?" I asked him who he was trying to pick up his phone and match it.
"Yes, here's the number."
"Temenin cave to that address, now. Use your car," said I already feel a little emotion. Brandy agreed and we moved together, stepping into the elevator to go to the place.
Brandy wouldn't let me drive her car in my condition like this. I really have reached the limit. How not? Got my papa's confidant employee betraying him and now he's firmly withdrawing some money for his personal gain. Who will not get angry?
With the speed of the car is quite high, Brandy brought me to the restaurant with just seven minutes. We deliberately did not get out of the car, because Brandy forbade me to go straight to the old man.
Brandy is seen reaching into his pocket, then he takes his phone from there. Pressing the screen of his phone to put the important object in his ear. Calling someone.
"Where? Yeah, we're around here somewhere. Could you please come up and get us a photo? No, we just want to see the woman's face. Yes, well." Then Brandy removed her phone to her ear and ended her phone call.
From the sentence he said, I can already guess, if the phone connection he made earlier was with his men who sent me this important information. My mind is really wondering. Especially what the old man did. Then, was this woman the same woman, who had crossed paths with Nadine?
From a distance, more precisely outside of the restaurant, Brandy and I were still struggling to sit in the car. While watching the entrance which is also at once the exit of the restaurant. Until finally the short ringtone of Brandy's phone suddenly sounded.
"Damn!" it was Brandy who then showed me her phone screen.
"Yes, he was sitting in the corner." I immediately took my phone and showed the previous photo that was sent to me. There it was clear if Mr. Hardi was sitting in one corner of the restaurant. And his intention was very clear, so that not a single person would walk past them.
"The cave must go down, the cave must see the eyes of the cave head itself," I stressed this time.
"Don't! This is said, they were standing and he did not see the father giving something to the girl. We'll wait for them to come out." Brandy held me back with her eyes still staring at her phone screen. The sentence he said just now also has a point in my opinion.
'Alright! This time I'll follow Brandy's advice, ' I thought.
Not long after Mr. Hardi came out from behind the door of the restaurant. By ourselves. There was not a single woman with him, then suddenly Brandy's phone rang, he immediately accepted it. I don't know who contacted him and I don't know what the person who contacted him said, I ignored him.
My eyes continued to watch the movements of Mr. Hardi until he finally got into his car.
"The woman came out in the back way" said Brandy suddenly and made me startled. I can't believe what I've heard.
'What did the woman do in the back street? What is he avoiding?' my inner.
As soon as my mind was muddled, I increasingly did not understand what was going on right now. My intention that was just to spy on the movements of the Hardi sir and where the running of the company money now even makes me more curious about his personal life.
I exhaled heavily while gripping my head hair.
"Can you help the cave one more time?" I asked Brandy while looking at her.
"Able to the cave."
"Have your men investigate the background of this old man. The question is not possible if the cave asks bokap or ask data to HRD employees. Cave does not want anyone to know, if the cave is suspicious of him," I said casually while looking at the car Mr. Hardi passing from in front of us. Then I turned back to Brandy. "Can?"
Brandy nodded her head. Approved my request.
"Oh yes, you were there any need so until nyamperin cave to the office?" ask me while we're on our way back to my office.
Then Brandy said that she was interested in the job position I offered her. Because I've known for a long time that he really wants to quit his job now. The more he lived, the rules of the company began to change.
"So, if there's no secretary, who's arranging your appointment?" We have come back to the office and are now sitting in my room.
"Nothing, besides the cave is not as important as it is to be found. Did you officially resign from there?"
"Yet, there's still two weeks left of cave work."
I breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing the news from Brandy. I finally have someone I can trust to help me. Me and Brandy have been friends for so long, each of us knows very well the nature and attitude of both. So I guess there's a slim possibility that one day he'll betray me. I hope it doesn't.
I immediately turned around, took some files from inside the small closet behind my chair, and handed them to her. I directly assigned him to study some of the contents of the report. Brandy.
