Still Tika POVs.
The next day ...
Early in the morning, I woke up from my sleep. Unlike usual, this morning I was getting ready to cook, giving breakfast to my husband, but there was also Lisa this morning that I had to serve.
When I was about to finish cooking, Jefri just woke up from his sleep. It was marked by his call calling out to me. 'It's good to have the cooking done, ' I thought.
Then I left for a moment the kitchen area, back up the stairs to the room. Jefri was still on the bed, complete with his blanket and his eyes were closed again. I just chuckled at her behavior this morning.
I went to the corner of the room, opened the wardrobe, and prepared Jefri's work clothes.
"Honey, I just called Alex ..," said Jefri as I put his clothes on the bed.
"You told him to come here?" reply spontaneous.
"No, I'm just saying she's there if Lisa's around, let her not worry anymore."
I sat in the corner of the bed. "They need time to think," I looked at Jefri who was now sitting and approached me.
He grabbed me, took me into his arms. Smacking my head. Then advised me not to be too hard on Lisa. Told me to let Lisa calm down these few days. Jefri also said the same thing to Alex. Ask Alex to think about everything, because he thinks, after marriage, there must be one party that can dampen emotions or even think clearly.
After Jefri and I were ready for work clothes, we immediately went down to the kitchen. I prepared breakfast for us, then I immediately headed to the room Lisa occupied. He was still soundly asleep.
Slowly I woke him up. I see her cheeks are still a bit bruised by me. I also felt guilty for slapping him that hard.
Lisa wakes up and squirms. It was as if I saw little Lisa who used to sleep in bed with me. I smiled a flash, then told Lisa to have breakfast.
This morning with a new atmosphere we had breakfast together. Jefri threw his jokes just to make me and Lisa laugh together and it was a success. I saw Lisa laughing and became very happy, as if I had seen the Lisa I used to know.
"Lu is here, right? Why go home anyway, anyway if you go home there by yourself, right?" said Tika.
"Trus if you guys do business, whose cave is it here? Alone too, right?" Lisa pouted, pursing her lips like a little child who was sulking again.
Me and Jefri laughed at him. Then Jefri proposed to have lunch together at home later. I agree but not with Lisa. He insisted he wanted to go home because he felt better this morning.
I had to agree to it. After breakfast, Lisa took a shower and I lent her a set of clothes to wear.
Then we left the house together...

Clara POVs.

"Yes go in" said Clara from inside her room. He's working on his month-end report. Clara lifted her head, looking at who had knocked on her door. "Oh, come on in."
I stood up and invited the man to sit down. I introduced myself to him. This man turned out to be a big businessman in this city. He's my office customer. It's been a long time, even before I worked in this office.
We used to communicate a lot, but only over the office phone. And today, the intention of his arrival here to discuss some insurance policy renewal documents for all employees in his company.
After two hours passed we discussed some important things and discussed them, about the continuation of the policy for its employees. Suddenly a question came out of the man's mouth. Questions that are personal, not related to the world of accuracy or with the work agreement of his company with my office.
"Sorry, do you have a partner?" ask the man to me.
I paused for a few seconds, digested a simple question from the man and replied, "Sorry, does that question have anything to do with this cooperation?"
The man chuckled softly as he lowered his face. Then grab a glass of coffee that has been prepared for him and then sip it.
"I'm sorry maybe this is just my thinking. Please forget the question I asked you. Assume I never asked anything." The man stood up and wanted to say goodbye.
At first glance, the name of the owner of the document on my desk. Written 'Mr. Maxweliam Giles', and then I got out of my chair and drove the man to my doorstep.
"Once again thank you for the extension of cooperation, hopefully it can continue to be intertwined," I said, shaking hands with him. He just smiled and then passed. I went back into my room.
"It's like something's weird, '" my mind.
I reopened the documents. The man's name was not foreign to me.

My phone rings suddenly.
Again a call from my mom.
I picked up the phone line, then the voice of the mother saying was heard across there. Mother invited me to lunch together, because Dad was having business. I'm fulfilling this mother's request. Then I got ready, then walked out of my room and told Rendi that I would take a lunch break with my family.
I'm heading to my motorcycle parking lot. Opened the motorcycle seat and took some completeness before I started driving.
I use my jacket, mouth mask, gloves and head cover aka my helmet. Then turn on the motorbike engine and immediately slide to the mother's office.
Previously I also often went to just have lunch with mom or three with dad. And usually I just slide to where we're going to eat. While this time the mother asked to pick him up because the father was busy there was a sudden business.
"What did you eat?" ask the mother who handed me this restaurant menu book.
I immediately greeted the book and then looked through the contents, flipping through the pages until I finally decided to order a serving of capcay chicken rice and a glass of sweet iced tea. While the mother prefers fried seafood noodles and warm sweet tea.
After our order was served, we began to eat each other's food, until finally the mother's question made me choke.
Uhuuk..
Uhuuk..
Curse my drinking glass then gulp it a few sips until my digestion feels smooth.
"Mother just ask, do you have a boyfriend or not? I mean, I'm even going to get it that way!" mother protest. I just smiled blandly.
I didn't mind my mother's question, I just went back to eating my lunch.
"When's the day your mother came home delivered to you, that's a guy, right?"
And once again the mother's question made me choke for the second time.
"Mother gettin' me huh?" investigate after successfully stabilizing my throat condition. I looked at my mother with eyes that I deliberately narrowed a little, like a soap opera character on television.
Mother chuckles amusedly at my behavior, then continues to eat again, as well as myself.
After lunch, I drove my mother back to her office again. But who would have thought, in the parking lot I met a man I knew before. He called me, then approached. While the mother was amazed to see the man while removing the helmet and giving it to me.
"Who is that?" ask mom while nudging my arm.
"Finished."
"Don't lie,"
Then I looked at my mother. "It's really still there, Bun!" my error with a clear tone.
Momentarily threw her gaze then smiled in the other direction. I looked up to follow the direction of my mother's view. It turned out that the mother smiled at the man who was only five steps away from us.
That man is Haikal. The man who had always appeared in the memories in my head. A man who is always quiet but full of surprises, I think.
Haikal greeted me and greeted my mother, while introducing himself, he greeted the back of my hand. Mother whose arms were grabbed also became a bit clumsy with Jefri's treatment.
Until you decide to leave us both on this page, chatting.
"Let's lunch?" ask Haikal.
I just nodded my head quickly, then Haikal asked me back where I was going after this, I said that I would return to my office soon because there was still a lot of work left unresolved.
Then suddenly Haikal asked for my phone number, pushed out his phone and told me to dial his number on the screen. I was silent for a few seconds while looking at him under the hot sun.
'Didn't I ever give her my phone number? At the time of the incident I cleared the warehouse documents?' my inner.
But then without saying another word, I immediately reached for his phone and pressed my phone number and immediately pressed the call button until the sound of my phone rang in my bag.
"Liar fair. The cave also saves your number."
Unexpectedly, Haikal developed his smile on me and then received back his phone that I had offered. Not waiting long, I immediately say goodbye to him and then turn on my motorbike and slide towards my office.
But before it got too far, I glanced at Haikal several times through my rearview mirror. It was obvious there, if Haikal was staring at me. Without going into the bank, before I cast off the shadow because I turned on the highway.
There was a sense of happiness that arose in my heart, not just because of suddenly accidentally meeting him here. Especially since he asked for my phone number. That means there's a chance he'll call me first.
Along the way to the office, I unceasingly developed my best smile. Not to show that smile to fellow road users, but because my heart felt like it was blooming, blooming. It feels so good!
Arriving at the office, I immediately headed back to my room. Don't forget I greet all the existing employees, who cross paths with me. I even showed them the sweetest smile I had.
As soon as I entered the room, back in my chair, I immediately picked up the phone inside my bag. But I was again surprised, seeing on his screen there was a short message through Whatsapp.
+62812-5231-xxxx : Already at the office?
Me: I'm sitting down.
There was another smile expanding at both corners of my lips. Didn't expect that Haikal would contact me this soon.
