ENFOLDMENT
CHAPTER 7
Shani sits on a stitching wooden chair on the front porch of her house. Darren was already on his way to pick him up to go to dinner with the vendor. Shani is waiting for Darren's arrival.
Not long after a black sedan stopped on the front street straight from Shani's yard. That was Darren. Shani approaches him, then gets in the car.
On Saturday night, Darren whose intention is only to invite Shani to foster good relations with vendors in fact even deg-degan like ABG who is doing a weekly night. Moreover, seeing Shani in his eyes more and more beautiful and interesting days. Does Darren like that girl?
"Where are we going to have dinner with the vendor, sir?" shani asked Darren. Instead of him being quiet there was nothing to talk about, he better talk to Darren.
"Zui Cafe." Darren replied as light as a feather.
Shani instantly turned her head. "Why should it be there, sir?" Shani's facial complexion began to worry. He was still traumatized by the incident at that time. And just so easily Darren will take her there again?
"The vendor himself asked for it. You're just like me there anyway, so don't think weird."
Shani. His hands are pinching each other. Shani is afraid that bad things will happen to her again.

Arriving at Zui Cafe, Darren takes Shani to a VIP room. It turns out that the vendors who will meet with Darren have rented a special space for them to get closer to each other and discuss business matters. Shani feels dejavu with all corners of the cafe whose atmosphere is not much different from some time ago.
"Welcome to join us, Mr. Darren. It turns out Mr. Darren still looks so young." One of the vendors smiled in praise of Darren.
Darren accompanied by Shani is now in a room with 2 middle-aged men who are a land seller who might later be purchased by Darren's side. The four had already met. So now it's time to discuss the important things.
"thank you. So, what about our deal?" Darren started a business chat.
"We're going to keep selling that land for 5 million per meter, sir. The location is quite strategic if the office or place of business is built. So maybe if Mr. Darren pleases, we will give a cut of 5 percent for 1 hectare of the land," said one vendor.
Darren turned to Shani. He did not know the price for 1 meter of land priced at 5 million including expensive or not. As far as Darren in his city the price of 1 meter of land is also not that expensive.
"Sorry sir, can we get a waiver for the price of land every meter? I think it's too expensive to build a business. We also have to estimate profit and loss" Shani said.
The two vendors looked at each other. "I think Argantara Group is not a poor company. If Mr. Darren and Ms. Shani feel that the price is too expensive, how about we increase the cut to 10 percent?" pick up one of those vendors.
Business talks continue. And at the end of the deal, Darren chose to cancel the intention to buy a hectare of land from the 2 vendors. Darren calculates if he even loses if he buys his land.
Darren also invited Shani to go to the vendors. As the two passed in front of the bar table, they passed Zui. The three also greeted each other.
"Hi, what are you doing here?" tanya Zui looked at the confused Darren then Shani.
"We're meeting with the vendor." Answer Darren.
"Oh." Zui glanced at Shani, then looked at Darren with his gentle face. "You want to stand here first? I'll buy you a drink, man," Zui told Darren.
"I still have business. Next time, yeah." Darren refuses.
"Em, okay." Zui put on her beautiful smile.
"Come, Shani." Darren takes Shani's hand away from the cafe room.
Zui's initially friendly face saw Darren's friendship that seemed familiar to Shani turned into a jutek and flat after the 2 people left him. Zui rushed towards the VIP room that Darren used to meet with the vendor earlier. There 2 vendors were still settled.
...•○⭕️○• ...
"Sorry, Boss. Mr. Darren refused the cooperation and canceled the purchase of his land." Replied one of the men bowed to Zui.
"Basic stupid! I pay you guys!" exclaimed Zui wrathful at 2 of his men. He threw an annoyed look, then rushed out of the VIP room.
...•○⭕️○• ...
Inner Shani grumbled. Darren said tonight he will be invited to dinner with the vendor, but in fact what? Shani felt his meeting with the vendor was only discussing the purchase of land that ultimately did not become.
It's 7 o'clock, and Shani's stomach starts to rumble because he hasn't eaten rice since afternoon. At the Zui Cafe, he and Darren were treated only to a kind of wine. Shani obviously did not drink it because he never did and did not want to try to drink something that smelled of alcohol. Darren had not tasted it in the least. Shani thinks Darren would love a drink like that, but it turns out Darren doesn't drink it.
"Why you?" darren asked Shani while continuing to drive his sedan.
"No pa-pa, sir." Shani replied, but suddenly her stomach rang quite loudly.
Darren chuckled small. "If you're hungry, be honest. What do you want to eat?"
Shani looked at Darren's face with a strange feeling. Tumben once his boss-to-be spoke softly with him. Is Darren being possessed by a subtle spirit so that his tone sounds subtle as well?
Darren turned to Shani because the girl did not answer. "Why?" darren asked frowning to find Shani staring at him dumbly.
"Ah, not pa-pa, sir." Shani quickly resuscitated her brain which almost stopped thinking.
"Take it tonight I'm compensating you. So now you can choose the place to eat that you like. I'll treat you" Darren said.
Shane thought for a moment. Lately he has always taken Darren to a luxurious dining place and most of the menu is fantastic. Because of that Shani became kangen with roadside food that he usually bought there with Jia and Andra or sometimes alone.
"I'd like to eat a chicken penyet at a roadside tent stall, sir." Shani closed her mouth for a moment. "Emmm, would Mr Darren want to eat in such a place?"
"Well, okay. I don't mind." Darren replied to Shani.
Darren swiftly took his car to the place where Shani wanted to eat.

"Prepare all evidence and witnesses. Then immediately report the cafe to the authorities." With a firm voice Wirawan ordered his men to quell the bankrupt business Zui.
About 15 minutes after Darren finished a meeting with a vendor at Zui Cafe, the spy Wirawan managed to get the fact that Zui was working with those vendors to deceive Darren.
Wirawan plans to put Zui in jail on charges of fraud and commercial misconduct. So far Wirawan knows a lot about Zui's business in his cafe. In addition to selling liquor, Wirawan also knew that Zui opened prostitution services in his bar under the guise of a cafe.
Without touching his hands directly, also without dragging his good name, Wirawan can easily clean up a stupid girl like Zui. Who told the girl to dare to mess with her son. When it comes to his family and business, Wirawan can not stay silent.
