Alma came out of Bara's office just at lunchtime. The girl took her phone and immediately contacted her lover. He waited a long time until finally his phone was picked up by the lover.

"Darling, aren't you busy?" ask Alma.

Hearing Alma's voice, the dizziness on Garland's head disappeared instantly. A smile was on her sweet face.

"No. Why Honey?" ask Garland.

Alma smiled hearing that. "Lunch with yuk! Someone wants me to talk to you," he said in a spoiled tone.

Garland smiled hearing the spoiled tone of the lover. He then replied, "okay. Where do you want to eat?"

"Em... What about SS9?" advice Alma.

"Basic. Potatoes with spicy food. Let's ask that!" Garland said while commenting on a smile.

"Fetch but yes," said Alma.

"Where are you?" ask Garland.

"Again in Bara's office" replied Alma.

"I'll be telling a story. Now pick it up first. I'm hungry, baby!" alma Whine.

Hearing the spoiled whimper from the lover, Garland reviewed the smile.

"Yes already. I'm leaving now. You wait for ya!" answer finally.

Alma smiled at Garland's reply. After that, Alma hung up her phone call.

After hanging up the phone, Garland immediately grabbed her jacket and immediately walked out of her room.

"Where are you going, Land?" Dania asked as she walked over to Garland.

Garland showed a dislike look as Dania walked over to her.

"Bel, I'm out first huh. Later if anyone finds me, say I'm still out with Alma," said Garland. He didn't care about Dania's question at all.

Bella gave her two thumbs up while smiling. Then he resumed his work again.

After saying so, Garland immediately moved away from that place. He passed by Dania without even looking at the girl's face.

"Garland! Wait Land! I want to explain something to you!" Dania pulled Garland's arm and prevented her from leaving.

Garland flicked her hand so hard that she almost fell backwards.

"Please, Land! Please, listen to my explanation. It's not what they say. I didn't do all that Land." Dania explained while trying to hold Garland back.

Garland smiled in anguish. He did not believe Dania's words at all. All this time he's believed in her but reality says otherwise. He almost lost his love for trusting Dania too much.

"Whatever you say, I don't believe it! Mending now, elo finish the goods elo and elo readyin resignation letter elo!" garland.

Dania shook her head. His eyes had already started to glaze over upon hearing Garland's words.

"No Land! Please, give me another chance. I admit I was wrong. But I never told anyone to do that" he said.

"Who believes Dan? All facts point to Elo. Elo is the mastermind behind all this!" bentak Garland's.

Dania lowered her head. Her tears fell unbearably again.

Garland doesn't care. He just left Dania. He didn't care even if the girl cried blood.

Dusk is coming. A patch of orange was visible in the sky that afternoon. The afternoon breeze was so soothing. Makes lonely souls feel comfortable and at ease.

"Not talking to Alma yet?" scold someone.

Bagas took a long breath. His eyes stared at the vast sea before him.

"He also needs to know Gas. He also needs to know how you feel about him. Don't hide your feelings from her" she continued.

Bagas let out a long breath once more. He lowered his head at a glance and looked back at the high seas. The sound of the waves sounded so melodious in the ears.

Slowly, the sun began to set. Only leaves a tinge of orange color in the sky this evening.

"Let it be like this. Let me hold my feelings for him. Let this taste sink like the sun in the afternoon" said Bagas.

Tya took a long breath. He was tired of advising Bagas. He was tired of giving advice to the young man.

"Whatever! I just don't want you to feel pain before you feel love" she said.

Bagas looked and smiled. "I've felt that love and pain simultaneously. I've felt it long before," he said softly.

Tya took a deep breath once again. Then he patted Bagas on the shoulder and said, "whatever your decision, I always support you. I'll help you get closer to Alma."

Bagas smiled hearing that. "Thank you a lot. So thanks! But, you don't have to bother to bring me closer to Alma. I could see his smile, it was a joy for me" said Bagas.

"Go home yuk! It's night. The night wind is not good for health!" bring Tya.

Bagas nodded his head and followed Tya's steps away from the shore.

Elsewhere, Alma is enjoying time together with Garland. Alma had not returned home since that day.

"Darling, I'm happy to be able to spend the day with you like this," said Alma.

Garland rubbed Alma's head and said, "i'm happy too honey. I'd rather you didn't work at Bara's place" Garland said.

The smile on Alma's face receded instantly as Garland said so.

"Why? I just work for Land. I wasn't there to propose as Bara's lover again? I work there!"

Garland took a long breath. He turned his face for a moment. He looked towards Alma.

"I just don't want Bara to come near you anymore. Especially now you're one office. Every day you see me" said Garland.

Alma breathed. "Oh my goodness, baby! Terrorize me! Even if I serialized the day I met a thousand people like Bara. My heart remains for you. My feelings won't change for you." Alma said as she held Garland's cheeks and looked into her eyes.

"I love you and nothing can change how I feel about you. No, or whoever it is!" concluded.

Garland smiled. He grabbed Alma's hand and grasped it tightly.

"I love you too Al!" Garland said while kissing the back of Alma's hand.

Alma blushed to see Garland's sweet treatment. He is grateful that his relationship with Garland can still be saved.

"Udah night. I'll go home first!" alma hatch.

"Well! How do you want to go home anyway? I still want to be with you. I still miss you!" rengk Garland's.

Alma smiled. "Tomorrow we'll see you again, darling. You want me to work tomorrow, right?" abugn.

Garland nodded. "Yes. But I still miss you" he whined again.

Alma smiled hearing that. He felt anxious when he saw the look on Garland's face whining like a child.

"Yes. I miss you too. But it's been a night, honey. It's time I went home. We'll see you tomorrow" Alma said.

Garland finally nodded in agreement. "Yes, that's it. Be careful when you go home. When you get home, don't forget to tell me!" sahut Garland's.

"Yes Dear. Yes already! I'll go home first." Alma said as she stood up from her seat. He then walked out of Garland's house.
