40 Days, One Love
First Day

The rain finally stopped when the hand on the wall clock was precisely showing at 20:15. Yua had to go home immediately, he only asked for Joe's permission to leave the house for a few hours but now he was almost 12 hours he was in this cafe.

Yua is also worried that Joe and Yucil will panic because he has no news. "It is very difficult not to be a pengang hp.., if there is LIME ato WA certainly will not be worried" complained Yua at this time.

Alex actually wants to drive Yua home, but what power. He could not get out of this cafe. Fortunately Alex has a taxi number and orders it for Yua.

"I ordered a taxi!" said Alex who didn't want Yua to go home alone at night.

"Mmm... but let me pay!!!, right I got my wages today so you don't have to bother" thank Yua.

Alex initially wanted to give a ride for free, but Yua insisted she still wanted to pay for it herself. A slightly expensive taxi fare makes Yua realize that he will make Alex hassles again. He also gets a wage for today, plus tomorrow he will also get a cell phone and a salary from Alex. Yua doesn't want to make Alex bother more than this.

...***...

Hearing the noise from the car that stopped in front of the house, Joe and Yucil immediately rushed to open the door of the house if only the one who came was Yua.

That's a Yua taxi. Seeing Yua coming down from inside the taxi, Yucil immediately ran towards her and hugged her very tightly, as usual. Yucil seems to miss Yua a lot, because all day he was at Arga's house.

In front of him now there is also Joe who had accompanied Yucil who ran after him.

"Sorry I'm late and make everyone worry again" sorry Yua.

With a slightly sour face, Joe then went into the house first. Yua who saw his sour face immediately chased after Joe and invited him to talk in the living room.

...***...

"I'm sorry... I was in that cafe all day, and it was raining so I couldn't go home. The owner of the cafe was good, he also ordered a taxi for me to go home" bela Yua.

But Joe was silent.

Still imprinted in Joe's memory, when Yua and Yucil who went to the river to see cats some time ago.Joe was so worried and panicked that he had to run around without any direction looking for them.

Now, Yua is back to worry Joe. Of course Joe is afraid that bad things will happen to Yua and will also have an impact on Yucil. Yua is his daughter from the future.

Joe knows that Yua is an adult but 2000 is different from 2021, although he does not know what 2021 will look like. But as he knows, in 2000 the crime at night was still high.

Unable to be silenced by Joe, Yua again apologized and promised not to repeat it. "I'm sorry...I know I was wrong, but I won't repeat it" promised Yua by lowering her head.

There was something that Yua wanted to ask Joe, but he knew now that the atmosphere was awkward. Just try it first, he thought.

"that's.. Do you have an HP?" yua asked stammered while raising her head.

"meaning? Hp?" ask Joe back.

"Yes...I spent the day outside because I was still trying to figure out how to get back to 2021. I need hp to find information or if anything happens I can quickly contact you" explained Yua.

Hearing Yua who turns out to be trying to find a way to return to the future makes Joe soften a little and accept Yua's apology.

"So do you have hp?" asked Yua once again curiously.

"Have it" replied Joe who then showed his phone to Yua.

His phone is the latest release of the year, different from the one Alex has. Joe's phone has a 1 megapixel camera and a large enough screen, still the smartphone in the future is far superior. Yua did not even envy looking at joe's phone.

"Then...What about your HP?" joe asked curiously.

"From tomorrow I will work at the cafe as a waiter and the wages will also be paid at the beginning with a mobile phone and Rp.1.5 million, so can ya?" Yua immediately asked permission from Joe who followed his whining..

"Pleasssee"

Both palms he tightened, occasionally he rubbed his palms and filed it to Joe. In order for his permission to go down, Yua asked him to face his mainstay and did not forget to promise to contact Joe with his prospective cellphone.

At last...After a long debate, Joe allows Yua to work on the condition that before 6 he should already be at home.

After thanking Joe, Yua went back to her room and found that Yucil had fallen asleep. I don't know why she feels a little calm. He then stroked Yucil's hair and kissed her forehead gently.

"Good sleep, myself." said Yua.

...***...

The awaited Tuesday morning has arrived. This is his first day of work. Although he had never worked before but he wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to learn new things.

Yua woke up faster than usual because of her passionate spirit. He also made breakfast for Joe and Yucil. This time he managed to make fried rice without burning and made the kitchen a mess. He even washed and dried cloths and finished homework before 7 a.m. What an amazing achievement.

"You woke up first? tumben.." ledek Joe who just woke up saw Yua who had cleaned the house and was ready to go to work.

"Oh, can't you?... If I have a job, I will wake up early!! Yes... yesterday-yesterday I just nolep because do not know what to do early in the morning, because if it could be noon why morning?" reply Yua.

"nollege?" ask Joe.

"Remember to go home before 6" Joe recalled reminding Yua to keep her promise last night.

...***...

Yua started her day with excitement. He walked from home to his new workplace, Cafe Alex.

"Mmm that cafe has a name, right? How come I'm not sober?" yua Mumm.

When Yua thought about what Alex's cafe name was, there was someone walking behind him. Yua is unknowingly being stalked by an unknown person since leaving her home. The man was wearing a black robe, a mask and a hat.

Yua then stopped suddenly. He thought it would be a suitable name for Alex's cafe. But. his feelings started to feel bad, like there was someone behind him.

When Yua turned her back, she saw that there was no one there but her. His hair stood up and was slightly goosebumps, without realizing his hands reflexively holding and tilting his neck. Immediately he turned around and accelerated his footsteps towards the cafe.

The faster Yua walked the more she realized that there were indeed people following her at this time. His feelings said that the one following him was a tall and big man. The sound of the footsteps of the man increasingly sounded powerful in Yua's ears. Afraid that the man would kidnap her or harm her, Yua now ran at full speed without needing to look back.

...***...

"hosh hosh"

Breath of Yua who gasps. Unknowingly he had run far and was now right in front of the cafe door with his body slightly bent and his hands were resting on his thighs.

While wiping the sweat that was still pouring from his head, he opened the entrance of the cafe by putting on his best smile. He must be professional, must not show his anxiety when he will start working on his first day.

"Good Morning" said Yua.

"huzzz"

The wind suddenly blew gently carrying a leaf. No one in the cafe welcomed his arrival.

...***...

Yua then tries to find Alex upstairs. Arriving upstairs, he saw someone sleeping on the sofa. His face was covered with a newspaper so that the sunlight would not fall on his face.

Without being told, Yua knew that the person was Alex. Who else, if not Alex, he thought. He then approached the sofa and watched Alex as he sat down and hugged his knees.

Slowly Yua moved the strands of newspaper that covered Alex's face to the table beside him, leaving his white face radiant. Yua was drowning in her own feelings. He was so engrossed in seeing the peaceful face of Alex who was sound asleep, as if his fatigue after running had just disappeared. Yua even touched Alex's face with her little finger many times, but still Alex did not want to wake up.

"Dugs..Dug.."

Yua's heartbeats were starting to sound loud. Yua again realized that she had been looking at Alex's face for so long.

"Why every look at her face, deg-degkan continue anyway?, lest I like her as well? but I don't know how it feels to like a guy?? or do I want to die of heart disease???" yua muttered a little loudly regardless of whether Alex heard it or not.

Unable to wake Alex, Yua took the initiative to sweep the dry leaves on the terrace only. At least he was a little useful before the direct descending order from the boss, he thought to himself. Yua took a shovel and a broomstick, and went down and left Alex still asleep.

The sound of Yua's footsteps slowly began to faint, it meant that he was now on the lower floor and might have been on the terrace. Alex, who had fallen asleep, slowly got up from the sofa and recovered his slightly blurry eyes from keeping his eyes closed for too long. He did not expect Yua to look at him like that. Alex can feel the look in Yua's eyes even though her eyes are closed.

Aex has been awake since Yua came. At first he intends to prank Yua, but Alex can't get up because Yua has already looked at him first. It would be very awkward if he had to get up and startle Yua.

Alex's face was red as a tomato. He had not been seen by such a woman for a long time, even his servant had never looked into his eyes for more than 3 seconds. While slapping both cheeks he asked himself to be conscious and not have to think about strange things.

...***...

Alex then approached Yua downstairs with a new apron for her. Yua turns out to be on the terrace, about to sweep the dry leaves scattered, but Alex sees Yua is directing his gaze towards the distance.

To call Yua who was on the terrace, Alex knocked on the glass window of the cafe which was right in front of Yua. Yua was surprised by the sound of the glass knocking and immediately turned her eyes towards Alex.

"Dumming"

Events that seemed to evoke a pent-up sense also occurred. Alex and Yua's eyes met each other and the stare scene was inescapable. Their cheeks were both flushed red, and both Alex and Yua immediately turned their eyes to the roof and floor after realizing they were looking at each other.

Yua then went into the cafe and approached Alex who was behind the glass.

"Morning..wake up?" said Yua.

"Mh.. Morning... It's an apron for you, from now on you're the waiter at this cafe" Alex replied, switching the conversation. He did not want to talk about the incident because it would be discovered if he did not fall asleep and certainly they would be awkward.

Yua then took the apron with a faint smile. But suddenly Yua's feelings returned unpleasant and again took her eyes off Alex while looking out of the cafe. Yua also suddenly put on a wary face.

"I think there's been people following me since I left the house" Yua said, to Alex's surprise.
