"Hallo Han, why the middle of the night gini call me" asked Erik lazily with his eyes still tightly closed. His voice sounded a bit hoarse typical of people waking up.
"Hey, midnight from where. It's still Rik's afternoon, you're already sleeping" replied Farhan sewot.
Erik was forced to open his eyes slightly, glimpsed by the alarm clock at his bedside, 00.10 WIB.
"Lo forgot Han, I'm in Indonesia not in Germany. It's just past midnight here. What the hell is it?", Erik's turn is sewot.
Farhan's voice laughed from afar, he really forgot that time in Indonesia is not the same as time in Germany. Five hours different.
"Sorry, Rick. I forget. I was going to tell you that I have a new business client here who is ready to invest in our company" replied Farhan casually.
'Crazy, Farhan, this hour still has the heart to discuss my same office affairs', inner Erik while occasionally holding back his acute drowsiness.
"Han, please, discuss it in the morning. Original, I'm sleepy heavy, bro. Today I had a marathon meeting", Erik sulked.
"Yeee..morning there, early morning here dong. Ck, okay, I'll send you an email. Lo check in the morning and prepare what I ask, ok?", Farhan made a deal that was immediately released by Erik.
After the phone closed, Erik resumed his journey to dreamland.

Germany, 07.30 PM
Farhan was still struggling with his diktat and college assignments. He was trying to study hard there. So far Farhan can balance lectures on the campus well.
For a moment, he delayed his task and started typing emails to send to Erik.
Drrtt.
Farhan's HP shook, an unknown number was visible there.
"Hallo.", said Farhan.
"Hallo, sorry I disturbed you, Farhan. I'm James. I just ask you for the files needed to our business. When I can receive it?", James Morris, the father of Elena Morris, contacted Farhan.
"Oh, yes sir. Tomorrow you will get it. I've arranged it and tomorrow my assistant in Indonesia will contact you", replied Farhan definitely.
James smiled behind his phone, "Ok Farhan, I will wait that. Danke", said.
"Danke, sir", Farhan hung up.
Farhan's meeting with Elena's family a few days ago in order to invite dinner turned out to be sweet. Farhan's conversation with Elena's parents, especially with her father, was so familiar. The two seemed serious about the business they were in, and Farhan's intelligence conveyed the development of his company made Elena's father, Mr. James, interested in investing in Farhan's mining company.
"Elena, you're smart choose a friend", complimented her father suddenly just after he called Farhan.
Elena, who was sitting in the living room watching TV, smiled at her father's words after he called Farhan, "Dad, Are you like Farhan?", tanyanya wanted to confirm her father's view of Farhan.
"Yes, I think he's a smart man, humble and kindly", replied Mr. James, making Elena's smile even more developed.
"I'm with you, dear. First time we met with him, he's gentleman. Ideal male figure, he's young, smart, success and visionary. The right choice for future husbands" says Tatiana Cassandra Morris, Elena's mother praised Farhan and teased her only daughter, Elena.
"And don't forget, Farhan is was fur ein schoner mann", his father added.
Elena blushed embarrassed to hear her father and mother's assessment of Farhan's figure. For some reason, even his little heart holds great hopes for his friend.

Erik was in the office early in the morning. He's checking emails like Farhan said last night. Erik immediately prepared a number of cooperation papers that he had to send to Mr. James Morris.
"Sir, I need your signature" Erik spoke to his father on the phone.
"It's still too early for Rik to come to the office. I just finished sports. Just bring it home" replied Mr. Erwin lightly.
Erik did not argue. Although he was lazy to go back home, but because the big boss warned about this cooperation, Erik finally swiftly took care of everything.
"Ck, when do I have time to mate if my life is so very, haduuhh", complained Erik to himself.

Farhan enjoyed a box of tea drinks in his hands. His memory drifted, nostalgic for his hometown in Indonesia.
'Kinara, how are you doing now? you've been someone's wife but I still can't forget you', her inner self in heart. He was enjoying the tea, the shadow of Kinara's face flashed in his memory.
'If you knew how much I miss you. I miss your smile and our togetherness as it used to be, if Farhan was still busy with his memories when Elena came to sever his memories.
"Hi.", said Elena somewhat surprised Farhan.
"Oh, hi. Sorry, I don't know you come here", replied Farhan as he smiled his sweet smile.
Elena returned the smile, and chose to sit next to Farhan.
"I see you as if you're thinking about something. May I know that?", asked Elena who came with a cup of coffee.
Farhan shook his head, "I just missed my home", he replied shortly.
"Oh, that's so sad" Elena said.
Farhan nodded slowly. In her other heart, she not only missed home, more than that, she missed Kinara.
"Farhan, may I ask something to you? but that's an private" Elena continued. He looked at Farhan inside.
Farhan turned his body towards Elena.
"Yes, please", replied Farhan.
Elena took a slow breath. He was hesitant and ashamed to ask this question, but he had to confirm Farhan's heart.
"Mmm..are you have a girl friend in Indonesia?", asked Elena timidly. A little bit of coffee in his hand.
Farhan scrunched up his forehead, "Why you asking to me about it?", asked Farhan back.
Elena bit her lower lip. He feels silly asking that, but he wants to know before he reveals his feelings to Farhan.
"Sorry, I just want to know" said Elena short.
Farhan smiled faintly, "I haven't a girl friend, but I have someone I've always liked, long ago", Farhan said as is.
Elena was interested in Farhan's answer, "You mean?", she did not understand the answer to the man in front of her.
Farhan took a deep breath, "Yes, I can only like him, but I can't have him because now he belongs to someone else".
Elena nodded her head. He saw a look of sadness on Farhan's face as he told him about his past.
"How about you?", Farhan asked back, leaving Elena shocked by the question.
Elena blushed, "I haven't a boy friend too, but, now I like someone".
Farhan looked seriously at Elena, "Wow, that's good, El", Farhan exclaimed.
Elena smiled, "You didn't ask who I like?" Elena said.
"Who?", asked Farhan
Elena took a deep breath, her heart pounding violently. But he could no longer hold back his feelings for Farhan.
"mmm...Farhan, Ich liebe dich", Elena's voice was soft. His face was reddened by the expression of his heart.
Degs....
Farhan's heart was beating strongly. This was not the first time a woman had expressed her feelings for Farhan, but Farhan had never felt his heart suddenly so troubled. For some reason, Elena's honesty made her heart so uncertain.
