40 Days, One Love
Deal

While waiting for his online taxi to arrive, Yua looked at his photo that was suddenly on his desk. The photo he gave to the owner of the cafe.

"Is this really me? If you look at it, surely everyone will say yes" said Yua who was still paying attention to the woman in the photo.

The photo is strong evidence that he has indeed been to the past. Although he could not remember the past, the letter from his father was enough to reinforce that the photo was genuine and what he experienced was real.

"I go to the past, then back to the future and finally forget all the memories while there. "Why?" continued.

Before his online taxi order came, although only briefly Yua took to see the state of the cafe from the glass wall of the cafe. Looks like the cafe waiter was about to get out, maybe going home. Not only the waiter of the cafe, someone appeared from the same direction when the waiter appeared.

"Her hair is blond, maybe he owns this cafe" murmured Yua.

Maybe tonight could be a chance for Yua to meet with the owner of the cafe.

"Wait until the waiter leaves the cafe and the owner wants to open the door" Yua thought of her strategy to meet the cafe's owner again.

But...

"Title.. tet"

The horn sound of his newly arrived online taxi message surprised Yua. Although he was surprised, Yua quickly entered the taxi for fear of being caught by the cafe owner because he was still there and peeked at them.

"Duh Sir... Just ngagetin" complained Yua.

"Sorry mbak I ngagetin mbak." said the online taxi driver apologized for making Yua surprised. "Mbak, the goal is Orchid No. 11" he continued.

"Wait a minute sir." prevent Yua so that the driver does not drive his car.

"Yes, what's wrong?" ask the driver.

Instead of answering the driver's question, Yua instead looked towards the cafe.

When he saw the cafe waitress coming out of the cafe and started walking away from the cafe, Yua immediately got out of the online taxi. Like not wanting to waste an opportunity, Yua finally decided not to go home.

"Sorry Sir... I seem to have some sudden business. My order was canceled, but I received the fare yes sir. Again sorry sir" said Yua while taking some money out of his wallet and giving it to the taxi driver online.

...***...

Surprisingly, after the cafe waiter came out there was no sign of the cafe owner also coming out. Yua decided to come closer to the door of the cafe that was still slightly open. However, who would have thought when Yua was about to open the door from the outside it turns out that there was someone who first wanted to close the door from the inside. As a result, a small incident occurred.

"Awwww... hurts!" shout Yua.

Yua's finger accidentally wedged on the cafe door. Instead of the door algae that were held to open the door, Yua even held the edge of the door until finally making her index finger nails bleed.

"Good God Sorry!" said the man who was none other than the owner of the cafe was shocked.

Seeing the drops of blood falling from Yua's finger, the owner of the cafe immediately brought Yua inside to be given first aid. Fortunately, Yua's nails could still be saved and did not need to be removed. It is only slightly blue at the edge of the tip of the nail and must be given a bandage so that the recovery of the nail is fast. Carefully the cafe owner wrapped Yua's finger with a bandage.

Seeing how carefully the cafe owner wrapped his fingers with bandages, Yua realized that the cafe owner was a good person. Yua was also able to clearly see the face of the cafe owner clearly after forgetting about it for two days. While enduring the pain, Yua tried to dilute the awkward atmosphere.

"You're a good man!" yua told the cafe owner.

But after hearing Yua's praise, the cafe owner stopped rolling the bandages and returned Yua's hand.

"I'm sorry... I didn't know you were holding the door" the cafe owner said, leaving Yua.

"No. no. no. no.." said Yua, shaking his head. "I'm wrong!" continued.

Bandages that are still not perfectly installed were released and snared back. Inevitably, Yua who was not comfortable with the owner of the cafe put it herself in front of the man. But because it could not bear to see Yua who had difficulty gluing the last layer of the bandage, the owner of the cafe took over to glue it.

"It's late, why haven't you come home yet?" ask the man.

"I live here!" answer's short.

"here?" ask Yua again.

The owner walked to the door and opened it. "It's late, go home!" the cafe owner on Yua.

"Again?.... Very hobby ngusir people" said Yua.

Not wanting to be told to go home, Yua also thought hard so as not to be expelled again.

...***...

After thinking for about two minutes, the coveted idea emerged.

"If so I have a deal. I'll go home if you help me!. If not, I'll stay here!" yua said while securing a table for her to rest like a chicken incubating her eggs.

Not yet had the cafe owner answer his request, Yua even took out some objects from his bag. There were pictures, books from this cafe, and letters from his father and everything he put on his desk.

"I'm sorry I took this book without permission before, but why did it come out in 2087?" ask Yua. "One more... Why does the woman in this photo look like me?, he said he had worked here too" he continued.

"So.what do you need help with?" ask the cafe owner.

"I need your help to clear this up!. Who is that woman and what is with that book? strangely enough again I also got a letter from my own father that was written 20 years ago about me going to the past hahaha!" say Yua in one breath.

"I don't know!" answer the cafe owner briefly.

It seemed like the cafe owner was unwilling to cooperate with Yua by telling her what Yua wanted. Because the owner of the cafe refused, then in accordance with what Yua mentioned earlier, then he will stay here.

"No idea?... OK! then I'll stay here!" chirped Yua.

"I never said yes" said the cafe owner while taking his book.

Instead of going home, Yua even did reckless. Yua ran to the second floor to where she met the cafe owner yesterday.

The cafe owner had tried to prevent Yua from staying there, but Yua was very stubborn. Actually he did not want to explain anything related to the past, but Yua's stubborn blessing forced the man to let Yua spend the night in his cafe.

"You...What's your name?" yua cheers from the stairs to the second floor.

"Alex" the man replied briefly.

"Alexes.... Nice to know you!" said Yua then back up the stairs left Alex who was still in the main room of the cafe.
