40 Days, One Love
Kado

"Letter..last afternoon you said about the letter, what's the connection?" ask Joe. Suddenly Joe remembers his conversation on the phone with Yua who asked him if he found a letter when he first met her.

"That's right, maybe with that letter I can go back and prevent bad things from happening. Let's go home!" invite Yua to go home immediately and confirm the existence of the letter. The letter was the only way that bad things would no longer happen to him or Yucil.

Joe quickly took the letter from the desk drawer in his room and gave it to Yua. Joe from the beginning also wanted to return it but somehow always forgot.

"This is. take it" said Joe while offering the obsolete letter. The letter was taken from Joe's hand and he hugged the letter tightly.

"Thank you for keeping this letter" said Yua with a faint smile. Eventually he was able to find the only trigger that could bring him back to the future.

"But I'm curious... If this letter was made on my third birthday, you should have written to Yucil on his birthday yesterday. But I didn't see that letter?" ask Yua.

"I kept it on purpose" Joe replied briefly. "I wrote that letter one week before Yucil's birthday, I just want to keep it and read it again in the future. After seeing this letter I became convinced that I would keep it in the future" he continued.

It turned out that Joe intended to keep the letter just for himself as a time capsule and it would never be given to Yua. Joe hopes that in the future when his son grows up, when he reads the letter again everything he writes has been realized.

"You know why I didn't doubt who you were when I first showed up here?" joe asked who was answered by Yua's arm to tell him he didn't know.

"When you suddenly appeared in this house, I was surprised to see the exact same contents of the letter that I had just made a few days before, but the condition of the letter was old and faded. What makes you even more confused is your face which is very similar to my own son. Although it sounded impossible I had the chance to think 'Maybe he came from the future?' and sure enough after that you said clearly that you are from the future" replied Joe who remembered the events of that day.

Hearing what Joe said made him realize one important thing. "Many things a child does not know, but there are many things that parents know about their child" Yua murmured.

That was the reason why Yua had only found the letter her father had written after his father died. He kept the letter well for almost 21 years. Yua also hopes that her father has not read the letter again, because he will certainly be disappointed to see his son different from his expectations 21 years ago.

"I hope he hasn't read it yet. huft" he murmured again.

...***...

A trigger that could take him back to 2021 is already in his possession. The next thing he had to do was tell Alex and ask him how the trigger worked so he could come back.

"I'm calling right now, aren't I?" he muttered who was lying on the bed.

Yep.. He can't wait to tell Alex tomorrow. So happy he rolled his body to the left and to the right, because today he is free to control the mattress because no Yucil will eat his bed.

📞"Sorry your call can not be done, make sure your pulse is enough and immediately refill".

Damnit damnit! Yua's credit is not enough to contact Alex, because the credit from the first card bonus is only 100 silver. His heart is not calm if he has not told Alex.that is why he asked for a cell phone as his payment in order to contact anyone when needed.

In order for her to sleep peacefully tonight, she must inform Alex, even with a short message. Yua then typed a message that read "srtx sdh sm q, bgmn cr agr q bs plng k 21? (his letter is the same as mine, how do I get back to 2021?)". He was forced to write the message without a vocal letter so that the message could be sent with the rest of his current pulse.

But his attempt failed because a few minutes later he received a reply from Alex who said that Alex did not understand what the message meant. "Is this alien code?" the reply message.

"hahaha the alien code.." Yua laughs at how cute the reply message from Alex is. "Yes tomorrow only. tomorrow I will buy a memento for all of them with the wages that I got earlier" he murmured before falling asleep.

...***...

As promised yesterday with Risma, for today Yua will be in charge of looking after Yucil and Arga. Actually not heavy for Yua, In the morning Arga was at school and cafe also not many visitors.

"Maa. mawu!" point Yucil at a pair of beautiful mocca-colored shoes. "

These shoes?" want to buy this shirt too??" tawar Yua who also saw cute clothes of girls lined up in front of her eyes until she was confused to choose it.

The gift for Yucil is in order. Now it's a gift turn for Arga, Joe and Risma.

For Risma, Yua bought her a packet of therapeutic scent candles that can reduce stress and make her sleep better. After giving some candles to Risma, they then moved to the book sales section. Yua intends to give Arga an Investment-themed book so that one day Arga can escape the financial shackles of her father and avoid the forced arranged marriage. I also remember there was a gift for Joe. He bought his favorite cookbook and several parenting books in the hope that the incident when Junior High did not happen again.

Lastly. gift to Alex. Actually, he had asked Joe to make a cafe plank bearing the name Ever Cafe but he thought the gift for Alex was still not enough. He also bought her a cookbook and a snack and a new watch for Alex.

...***...

He did not expect all his wages to run out to buy memories, the rest of his wages he bought pulses and spicy food as a treat for Alex that he promised yesterday. Their next destination was the cafe where they worked.

"I'm sorry I'm late" Yua said upon arrival at the cafe. Fortunately, no customers had arrived as long as Yua had not arrived.

"Lex.. I brought Yucil yes today, trus Arga will be here also noontime.no papa right? I promise they won't bother you!" ask Yua.

"Yes, it does not matter if the visitor is not much" jababaex who agreed to Yua's request. It would be more crowded if there were both boys in this cafe. Waiting for customers who do not know when to come often makes Alex and his employees sleepy.

Yua asks Yucil to sit at one of the empty tables in the corner of the cafe and also asks him to draw quietly until Arga arrives.

Regarding the short message last night that Alex did not understand, Yua then approached him and asked what he should do after getting the trigger at that time.

"that...about my message last night, I mean..I've got the letter, so what should I do?" the question was to stop Alex's hand cleaning the glasses and dishes.

"after the cafe closes we just talk about it" replied Alex who then continued cleaning it.

"Alright" replied Yua.

...***...

Drawing alone seems to make Yucil become bored quickly. Then, it occurred to Yua's mind that Yucil was not easily bored and could reduce his work a little. A big mission was given to the innocent little boy. A great mission to greet every customer who comes to this cafe.

"Yucil.. later if anyone comes you have to say hello like this" Yua then demonstrated in front of Yucil how to welcome the right customer, Yua, itung-itung taught his young self to learn to be polite and try hard as early as possible so that his future a little better.

After several practice sessions, Yucil is finally ready to make his debut as a one-day apprentice at Ever Cafe.

"celamat ciyang, please dudyuk" Yucil said to his first customer.
