Lian lost concentration at work. Several times he said words that could not be understood by the Client, as if his heart and mind were not in sync with what was said.
"Sir Lian, are we just resetting today's meeting?."
Lian panicked, it could be dangerous if this Client gets disappointed with his performance"Sorry Mr. Rocky, I'm less concentrated."
"Let me take over, we let this Lian sir neutralize his thoughts first. How's Mr Rocky?" vino said kindly.
"Of course, you're solid co-workers. Fill each other with flaws. Teamwork deserves a thumbs up" praised Mr. Rocky as he thumbs up towards the two of them.
"I say goodbye to the Counter drink first yes" said Lian self-respect who was immediately berbuki Rocky.
He ordered a black coffee and immediately sipped it there. Really, his mind was divided on Kaila who started to stay away from him, even asking for a break.
"I don't give you an explanation. Why is he playing break-up!!" he mumbled in despair.
In the middle of his discussion with the Client, Vino occasionally glanced at Lian in the Counter drink.
"Your explanation is easier to understand Mr. Vino" said co-worker Rocky.
"Hehe, Mr. Lian is usually not like this. Heart problems are confusing."
"Hahaha, it's worth it" said Rocky. They chuckled even more as Lian approached and returned to sitting to the starting position.
"Okay, we continue via email yes sir" Rocky said again.
"Sip Mr. Rocky, then we say yes first" said Vino ready to move.
"But also in the drink little Vin" Lian stopped Vino who was about to go to the cafe. Looks like Vino kangen yayang Jovana.
"Hemm, you're upset, Mr. Lian?."
Lian Manyun responded to the words of Heru, Rocky's co-worker. Because of his fellow men, and feeling quite close to them, Lian also spilled grievances on the chest, all of them asking for input and opinions on what she should do about Kaila.
"It is clear that Mr. Lian does not have a relationship with Rani" said Heru.
"He doesn't want to be talked to" said Lian slowly, sounding desperate.
The Cafe Ceria.
Ben stared at the small body of Enda who was fast asleep. He had to come to work with Ben. Little boy should stay up at the Cafe, with Dad who just this week he knows. And for a week he hasn't even asked Ben about you.
Ben rubbed Enda's thick black hair"You should go to school, and maybe I'll find another job" he muttered.
There's no way he's going to keep working at the bar with Enda. This one-child widower thought for a moment, swiping at his cellphone contact number.
"Sama Lian??" Ben murmured"Akh, I don't know office work."
"What's going on back to being a chef??" thought again. But still he would have to leave Enda if he worked as a Chef again. Meanwhile, Ben was remembering the money stored in the Bank, it seems for a while the finances are very strong really.
His brain kept turning around looking for a way out"Dad" called Enda. The little boy woke up from his nap.
"Not Laper??" ask Ben. Enda nodded.
"Daddy makes food yes" said Ben again.
"Feel the Father" said Enda with a sweet and adorable smile. Ben responded with a smile.
He hurried to set the dining table. To tiptoes he put the plate and took the drinking water for him. It became his habit, and Ben was well-known. Eating and dressing he was used to doing it himself, Ben seemed to be slapped with the discipline Enda appeared.
"Want to go to school??" ask Ben in between his activities.
The boy looked at her with round eyes that looked like Andara"Mau" she replied briefly.
"But I can just take you and pick you up. Later in school Enda can be alone, right?, Dad plans to move jobs" as if talking to adults, Ben has begun to get used to talking like that with Enda.
"The school is far from Dad?."
"Then you can go alone Dad, go home alone too. Dad made a good stock. You're not going to go to school anymore."
It was a piteous feeling in the sembilu Ben's heart heard the words of Enda. Is this child trying to reduce his living expenses?. How hard was his life with Frans yesterday?.
Trtrrr!!, Andara Calling. Before leaving Andara and Ben exchange numbers to be able to tell each other, about Enda to Andara or vice versa.
"Here, Mom's on the phone."
"Enda does not want to join Mamah" he said flatly.
Ben nodded as he received the call"Yes, hello" he said.
"How was it?."
"Here, he's fine."
"Please take good care of him Ben. Please, Frans knows she's with you."
"If he comes to see you please keep Enda away from him, I beg you!."
Ben can't help his curiosity anymore"What's Frans' treatment of Enda?, you locked her in a closet?, you kidnapped her?."
Just a sobbing of Youara on the other end of the phone, instead of the answer to all those questions.
"You know Andara, she's a lot older than her age. What have you guys done to him??" there was a sense of anger in Ben's words this time.
"Since she was five years old she spent a lot of time in the room" Andara began to tell stories.
"If Frans looks into the room, it's not the affectionate caress he gives. Frans continued to stress to Enda that if she wanted to remain with me, she had to be a obedient child. A child that is not troublesome. Whatever food he gave him was always eaten to the end."
"He was afraid of rain and lightning like most children, but if he cried Frans would lock him in a closet and just accompany a flashlight."
"He was forced to be independent from childhood, Ben. He can't play with other kids either. Because his face was so much different from Frans, nor too similar to mine, people had asked him about the truth of whose son he was."
Ben's heart was broken to pieces. As hard as the life that must be lived Enda in a luxurious and magnificent house.
"You don't have to worry about you. I'll take care of everything."
"And watch your Frans. Don't let me face him. I can file it with the authorities, or maybe beat him to death" Ben threatened.
"Alright Ben, I trust him to you." Andrea sounded relieved, at least Enda was definitely safe with Ben.
"I'll routinely send money for his living----cost."
"No need. Your money is money from Frans. I don't want my son to eat money from a mean man like him!" Ben insists.
"But Ben...Enda-."
"That's it..Enda I'll school up. You don't have to think about him anymore" Ben closed the call.
"Cool father" sambar Enda by pointing two thumbs at the father.
Ben who was initially upset so chuckled to hear the words of Enda"You are indeed a father's child, always cheerful yes son."
"Hihihi, ready dad" Enda crawled up to the dining table and hugged Ben.
For the umpteenth time Ben was filled with Enda's behavior"Did Dad free you from the golden cage?" ask Ben origin.
"Enda's not a father bird" he replied innocently. They chuckle, laugh together. Enda's grip was so tight on Ben's shoulder, she felt free living now. Pleasant days are waiting ahead, and the colorful life of these two tough guys begins.
