Ballad of Love The Dancer
Chapter 23

The next day Sari and the team had packed up from morning. According to the plan they will leave for the coverage location at five in the afternoon. Sari was still engrossed in playing her phone when Mom Adeline contacted her,

" Dag lieverd... hoe gaat het met je?

(Morning dear...how are you?)

"Okay mom,"

" Hoe was de decking, verliep alles soepel?

(How is the coverage, is everything going smoothly?)

" Tot zover goede mom, maak je geen zorgen

(So far, mom, don't worry)

" Sure?" ask Mom Adeline

" Yes, Sari sure mom."

" Mang Aa has told everything to my dear mom, are you sure you want to continue this coverage?" ask Mom Adeline again

" Calm mom, everything is fine don't worry too much." replied Sari

" When to go to the location of love?" ask Mom Adeline

" It's five o'clock this afternoon" replied Sari

" Is Mang Aa coming?" ask Mom Adeline

"Nee.cuma Mas Hendra same Mbak Diah aja that between us mom." replied Sari

" Alright, mom can only pray for you from afar dear."

" Bedankt, mom ik houd van je,"

(Thank you, mom I love you)

" Okay, enjoy your trip later baby.be careful, yes" Adeline's mom message.

" Greetings to Daddy, mom.ik hou van jullie,"

(i love you guys)

Sari hung up her phone, she let out a long sigh imagining the journey she was about to begin with the team. Hope everything goes well.

" How are you preparing today?" ask him on Bagas

" Seventy percent of the material is ready, we just dig it tomorrow in the field" replied Bagas

" Well good, do we have any connections there?" ask her again

" Already sir, it happens that Sari's cousin there later also they will take us to the destination." said Bagas while continuing to play his finger on the keyboard

Mr. Adit just nodded his head while looking at some of the files that Bagas had prepared earlier from Semarang. His eyes caught something eye-catching, an old book on the table.

Curiosity led him to take the book and open it. Bagas and Doni looked at each other, casually Mr. Adit opened page by page. And when it came to one of the pages, he showed a surprised expression.

Doni noticed Mr. Adit's behavior, but he refused to ask. Every now and then he glances at his eyes stealing glances with curiosity what exactly Mr. Adit reads.

Mr. Adit must have read the old book intensely, as if something was interesting. Doni coded Bagas about Mr. Adit, nudging his hand. Bagas only looked at Mr. Adit for a moment and pretended not to see him.

" Do you know whose book this is?" ask Mr. Adit

" My book sir, what's wrong?" replied Sari who suddenly appeared behind Mr. Adit.

Sari brought a cake and a few glasses of orange ice made by Aunt Kurnia. Sari then sat down next to Mr. Adit, and asked for the book in his hand.

" Is this your book?" ask again

" Yes sir, what does it look like Mr. Adit is interested in?" tanya Sari looked at Mr. Adit

Mr. Adit did not answer Sari's question, instead he looked at Sari without blinking as if in disbelief. Sari who was uncomfortable with Pak Adit's gaze turned her gaze towards the old book.

" How old are you now?" ask Mr. Adit

" Eeits, Mr. Adit how old he is to Sari, yes interest to him.still young he sir, only 18 years old but his soul is old sir," said Doni chuckled.

" Nyamber is like gasoline" said Bagas

" Why is he my age, sir, and give me a gift?" ask Sari who also laughed

" I'm seriously asking you, how old are you now?" ask Mr. Adit again

" This month is 27 years old, why is it sir?" answer Sari

Mr. Adit showed a surprised expression, as if in disbelief. He was silent to make Sari and the others ask questions with a strange attitude shown by Mr. Adit after reading Sari's book.

Bagas, Sari, and Doni looked at each other questioningly. What's wrong with Mr. Adit.
