Baskara left the children's problems to his wife. He believes Dusk is able to handle their children well.

The schedule today is not very busy. All the work feels good despite one or two problems that he can still handle well.

After a meeting that merged lunch at a mall restaurant where he signed a cooperation with the mall owner, Baskara intends to buy something for his children.

He'll be home sooner. His work is done and nothing is too important to do in the office.

"You go back to the office, Ndi." Baskara ordered his assistant to return first. "I want to find something for the kids and go straight home" she said as she exited the private room of a restaurant.

"I'll accompany you sir." refused Andi. "Let me drive you home before I go back to the office."

Baskara clucked and glanced at her assistant with a slash. "I'm not a kid you should always be with, Andi! I can do it myself."

Andi remained clumsy following the steps of his superiors. "I'm just doing my job to serve you, sir."

"But if it's related to the office! outside the office, it's no longer your responsibility to look after me and watch over me."

Andi grumbled in his heart. "Isn't a surprise anniversary not an office problem? picking up mom and taking her to the hospital isn't an office issue either?" many more personal affairs of his superiors that Andi must do as ordered. So what's different about now.

"It has. It's been. Back to the office! I can do this myself!"

Although reluctant, Andi still stepped away leaving his boss who began to enter the toy store.

Baskara went around and found something funny in her opinion. The beautiful baby doll that Anna was in her shadow would love.

He picks one and takes it to find another toy for Kai. After that he went to the cashier.

"Everything's five million rupiah, sir."

Baskara handed over her credit card and brought her groceries after she finished.

When at the exit of the store, he passed Grace who was somehow wandering in the mall at office hours like this.

"Remain lo here? it's still working hours."

Grace showed a dislike when she received a reprimand from Baskara who showed her power as a leader.

"Gue leave today. So what's wrong with me taking a walk." Grace replied haughtily as usual. "And outside the office like this, you're not my boss!"

Baskara said he would not respond again. Choose to go home immediately and see the reaction of his children. Don't mind what Grace did there.

"Wait!" exclaim Grace by blocking Baskara's arm. Prevent the man from leaving.

"What the hell?" sahut Baskara decisively and release Grace's hand cheque from his arm.

"Can I have a minute, Aska? I want to say something."

Seeing Baskara's facial expression that seemed to prefer rejecting her, made Grace hurriedly add.

"Please.. This once, Ka! I have never disturbed my household? I can sincerely you who already belong to someone else" said Grace at length. "Please, this concerns my family."

Looking at the parched expression that Baskara had never seen on Grace's arrogant face, made her heartless and agreed to take her time.

As Grace said, all this time the girl has not once disturbed her household. Even Grace was seen dodging every time they passed each other. And also in the office. They never intersected each other.

Maybe because eight years have passed. And there's no more Grace feeling for him. So what's wrong with them back into a good relationship as brothers. Without feeling uncomfortable.

"So what's the need until you make me come here?" Baskara still shows a flat expression and gives a limit so that Grace does not misinterpret what she is doing now.

Grace took a long breath. The haughty expression that Baskara usually saw now changed with a tired expression.

"The cash of my bokap company was taken away by the same financial manager. Now even restaurants don't have cash for operations and employee salaries."

Baskara frowned when she heard it. It's surprising considering Grace's father isn't new to the corporate world. What holds the finances is Faraz's confidant. How can such a thing happen. How could Faraz easily fool his own employees.

"It turns out the person who took the money ran away was playing the same bokap. She's pregnant but doesn't want responsibility and instead tells her to diggugurinnya content."

Baskara was stunned to hear that one fact. During this time Baskara knew Faraz loved his wife very much and always looked romantic whenever they met.

"J*lang's woman came in mami and some of them before escaping bring all the money papi company. Mommy even got shocked and was hospitalized."

Grace who always looks strong now shed tears in front of Baskara who is confused what to do.

Baskara moved to sit next to Grace and rubbed the head of the crying girl awkwardly.

She felt sorry for what Grace and her mother were going through. Even news as big as that, Baskara to not know.

"We cover this issue as much as possible. Papi is afraid that if the news spread will further damage the reputation of the restaurant that has sucked papi wake up." Grace explained what Baskara also thought.

Baskara nodded in understanding. Infidelity is not something that is easily accepted by the community, especially women. So if the news is spread, it is not impossible that the Grace family restaurant will go out of business.

"What are you trying to get me here for?" Baskara returned to her question after Grace had calmed down enough.

"If I may, I ask you for help." wiped his tears and looked at Baskara lekat. "The fire needs an injection of funds so that the restaurant can return to operation. Also so that employees get their rights."

Baskara breathed. She couldn't agree right away because she didn't know how much Grace needed and how she would return it.

"Some can already be closed with personal savings money papi same me.. But we still need big funds for the shortage."

Really Grace wouldn't be begging like this right now if it wasn't for her family.

"Lo can take half of the restaurant's profits in return for the money you love. We'll make a deal."

After being silent and thinking about it for quite a while, Baskara nodded in agreement and asked Grace to make a letter of agreement and meet her at the office tomorrow morning.

"If you can, bokap lo who come directly. I don't want the letter of agreement only with the approval of lo, while the owner is bokap lo."

Grace agrees and promises to come with her father tomorrow morning to Baskara's office, which is also where she works.
