40 Days, One Love
Misunderstand

After working all day, Joe was finally able to go home although a little later than 8 pm. As promised by Yua, she will pick up Yua at the cafe where she works.

In addition, Joe is also curious about the appearance of the cafe owner. Fortunately today Joe took his car to the factory, so he could quickly pick up Yua and meet the owner of the cafe named Alex.

Alex and Yu are still on the roof. Suddenly.all the lights in the city went out making the atmosphere suddenly quiet. Nothing is visible, everything is darkened as far as the eye can see, except only the night sky becomes brighter.

"Dead the lights?" ask Yua.

"Looks yes.. We better get down!" answer Alex. "It's been 2 hours here, tomorrow you have to work!" continued.

Right too, they've been on this roof for two hours. Yua remembered that she had an appointment with Joe who would pick her up at 8 this time.

"Oh yeah, where am I?" muttered Yua who remembered Joe was going to pick her up home. "Ohhh...I remember!!! I was in the bag!" he answered himself while patting his head.

...***...

Because the lights are off then to go down they have to be careful. The stairs they passed were also very narrow and small forcing them to go down one by one. In order not to fall or stumble, Alex also leads Yua from the front while holding his hand.

"Be careful! go down slowly!" Alex was pointing at Yua who was hesitatingly stepping over it.

An unavoidable event when the lights die finally happens. "Awww" cried Alex whose leg had just been stepped on by Yua.

But instead of apologizing, Yua instead nagged because Alex's screech disturbed his concentration."Oh. don't be noisy! I doubt it!, no flashlight or what?" chirp Yua without caring about Alex's foot that he stepped on.

It's a pity that Alex doesn't have a flashlight or a candle right now. The only light that exists only comes from the screen of the phone Alex has and even that is not too bright. Inevitably Yua has to get off with Alex's direction and help. After descending the tense staircase, Yua finally managed to get to the bottom safely even though Alex had to sacrifice his leg being stepped on many times.

Soon Yua searches for her phone in the changing room upon arrival on the first floor. But since there were no lights he almost stumbled around every corner as he stepped there. While Alex is trying to find something that can produce light with the help of light from the screen of his dim phone.

...***...

Now Joe's position is in front of the cafe.From in the car Joe tried to contact Yua but he did not lift it Once twice Joe tried but still with the same results. He also tried to open the door in front of him, but could not because it was locked from the inside. For the last time Joe tried to call Yua back, if this time he also did not answer, then Joe intends to open the door of the cafe by force.

"cring cring cring"

there was a cell phone sound from inside Yua's bag that was heard to where Yua was standing at the moment.

Thanks to the loud sound of the phone and the light from the phone screen, Yua was finally able to find the phone she had been looking for since.

📞"Hallo! Lily..why just lifted! I'm at the door of the cafe but it can't be opened!" said Joe.

"Sorry, I was on the roof so I forgot to bring my phone" replied Yua who walked outside to open Joe's door.

However, in a hurry, Yua stumbled instead on a chair in front of him.

"Aaaawwwww" cried Yua.

Both Joe and Alex were both shocked to hear Yua yelling that. Alex, who was in the kitchen, rushed to the dressing room and saw Yua, who was already sitting on the floor, holding onto her bleeding leg.

"Lex, Joe's outside, can you open the door first?" pinta Yua while pointing her index finger towards the cafe door.

Instead of opening the door for Joe, Alex tore his shirt off and tied it to Yua's injured leg to stop the bleeding.

"Twd"

There was a loud sound from the front of the cafe and followed by the sound of footsteps of someone who entered the cafe. "That must be Joe!" said Yua.

When Alex was about to approach Joe, it turns out Joe was in front of them with a flashlight. However, without the wind without rain Joe landed a hard punch right on Alex's cheek until Alex was knocked down.

"What do you want?" snapped Joe. Joe thinks that Alex is about to hurt Yua so he immediately stops Alex's movement with his fist.

"Bad"

All the lights then turned on causing anyone who was there glare until they reflex closed his eyes, because the light of the lamp suddenly entered into their retina without any cue.

As things return to normal, Joe is shocked to see Yua's legs wrapped in cloth and Alex slumped on the floor.

"Joe.." call Yua.

"Are you okay?" joe immediately approached Yua.

...***...

The three of them then sat facing each other in the middle of the cafe whose door had been broken. They want to straighten out what really happened. While compressing Alex's bruised cheek, Yua tells Joe to apologize.

"There's no need. I should be the one apologizing" Alex said. Alex felt that if he had heard Yua's request to open the door immediately, none of this would have happened.

"That's not true.... Forgive me!! I misunderstood you and hit you, I'm sorry I also broke the door of this cafe. I will replace it tomorrow with a new one" said Joe, who continued to apologise despite Alex's ban.

Coincidentally in the factory Joe also made a door, he could give it to Alex for free. For when Joe suggests to make the emergency door of the cafe from the tarp so that no one enters and Joe will take care of everything.

After all the misunderstandings were finished and the emergency door was made, Yua and Joe went home and got into the car. They also have to immediately pick up Yucil because it is 10 pm, especially Risma is also in trouble at this time.

...***...

"I'm sorry I made a scene" said Joe, who was driving. He once again apologized for the incident, he accidentally broke the door because he was worried after hearing Yua's scream from his cellphone.

"Yes, it's okay, I know you must be worried" replied Yua.

"By the way, so that's your boss, Alex?" ask Joe.

"Yes" Yua replied a little hesitantly. "Do you remember his face?" yua asks, why does Joe remember Alex.

"Mmmm.. I seem to have forgotten a little, maybe the effect of the lights off, so when the lights turn on a little glare I don't really remember" replied Joe who tried hard to remember Alex's face.

Yua could not tell Joe about Alex's identity as a prisoner at the time. So that Joe does not discuss about Alex any further, Yua also racked his brain thinking about questions that could distract Joe.

"Oh yes.. You know Mr Roy, Risma's husband?" ask Yua.

"Yes..know!" answer Alex. "Why indeed?" ask Alex again.

"He came to the cafe and told Risma and Arga to leave for England in 3 days. I'm normal, but there's something strange about Mr. Roy!.." Yua's story. "He's a man who how?" ask Yua curiously.

Joe then described Mr. Roy as an ambitious man. In addition, Yua also got the fact that Joe is a former employee and friend of Mr. Roy when working in the company of Mr. Roy's parents now. Although their ages were far different but at that time they were like brothers and greeted each other with their respective nicknames.

"But I was afraid to look at him. Even his eyes were glaring at Yucil. Just spooky!" said Yua who felt goosebumps considering Mr. Roy's eyes.

"Maybe Roy is still angry, because a few years ago I had a big project and won the title of employee of the year beat Roy who incidentally is my senior" said Joe.

Joe was still young and had just graduated from college at the age of 21 years. But he is an employee who is diligent, responsible and honest to be entitled to the title of employee of the year.

Yua then concluded that there might be something going on between Joe and Mr. Roy that Joe did not realize, therefore to this day Mr. Roy is cold to Joe so no wonder Mr. Roy looks at Yucil with a sharp gaze.

...***...

After traveling for about 15 minutes they finally arrived in front of Arga's house and were about to pick up Yucil.

"Ding Dong"

Soon Risma opened the door and let them in.

"Yua was asleep.he was crying because of Arga and now they are better. He also asked to sleep in Arga's room today" Risma said, bringing them warm tea.

Because of Yucil's request, Joe also allows Yucil to stay and sleep next to Arga. This will also be a memory for Yucil and Arga as soon as they will be separated.

Before they go home, Yua wants to briefly see Yucil's condition and envelop Yucil properly. Yucil likes to throw away his blanket and let mosquitoes bite him. As she was about to envelop Yucil, Yua noticed a scar on Yucil's leg right where her leg was injured.

"Just like this wound" murmured Yua. Yua then quickly called Joe to look at Yucil's legs.

Not wrong again, this is the effect of sharing life where if Yua is injured then Yucil will also be injured, even though what happened to Yucil only appears scar only.

"Is it this dangerous if I'm still here?" he murmured in the heart.
