A few days after rescuing Linda's sister Hardi, Edi gets closer to Linda. Edi more and more often visit Linda's workplace either pick her up when she came home or just enjoy lunch there. But this time Edi deliberately asked Linda to go home faster to the boss so that she could enjoy dinner together at the restaurant where Linda worked, because today she got a second shift.
"what if I just shift one?" linda asked, "that's why I've had too many permits this month"
Seeing Linda's current condition, Edi immediately sent a short message to her father asking to book the restaurant where Linda worked. Since Edi had never asked for anything since High School, his father agreed unconditionally. A manager came along with Linda.
"i have information that you have booked this restaurant, is it true that you are named Edi?" ask the manager.
"yes, I'm Edi"
Then the waiter brought a menu book to Edi accompanied by Linda. After receiving the menu from Edi, the waiter left while Linda sat in the chair right in front of her.
"why are you doing this?" ask Linda.
"after you are always busy, this way I can talk to you for a long time, Edi replied. They talked while waiting for the order menu to arrive.
Meanwhile at the game company, Dika had all parts of FIGHT FOR GLORY game developers and cybersecurity teams gather in the meeting room.
"it's late in the afternoon, how about tomorrow?" ferdinan said with a hopeful tone.
"if tomorrow there is a massive attack from the game world you can save the other players?" dika replied upset and then went to her room. Ferdinan forced all his team to go to the meeting room.
After everyone gathered, Dika immediately started the meeting.
"your days I've gathered here to discuss how to save other players" said Dika "Dinant after yesterday you helped Frans, did you find a way to save the other players?"
Ferdinan and Toni are only speechless as they have yet to find a way to save a player who is still unconscious. Suddenly Anita declares to find that way, they call Frans.
"why call Frans?"ask Ferdinan.
"because through Frans we can ask Hazel to find a gap in order to get into the game world"
All the meeting participants became confused by Anita's statement. Then Anita explains that Hazel can see the gap to enter the game world from the VR of the unconscious players.
"sir Dika, Ferdinan, I saw on the news that there was a player who had come to his senses" Jessica suddenly entered the meeting room.
"where possible, try to show the news" said Dika. Then Jessica mobile phone to a projector in the meeting room to display the news in question.
After seeing the news, Anita who from the beginning of the news carefully concluded that there was an awkwardness from the player.
"disputes How do you mean?" ask Ferdinan.
"i can't explain in detail, but I feel that the player has been affected by something from within the game world" Anita said
As soon as they all observed the news, "look at the player's face, his eyes looked blank" Anita said. After witnessing the news, Dika continued the meeting before being delayed.
While at Linda's workplace, Edi enjoyed the menu ordered by her with Linda while having a light conversation.
"Thank you for helping save my sister" Linda said.
"don't talk about it anymore, that's also our goal all this time"
"we've been playing games to survive, it just so happens that your brother's unconscious player is our first key to saving other players" Edi replied.
Edi then switched the conversation to reminisce about the past. It seems that Edi wants to re-establish the relationship as before when they were still in High School, but when he wanted to express his intention Hardi came.
"Linda I want to..."
"sister..." cried Hardi loudly, which made Edi become silent for a moment. "cock yet pul...lang? Uh there's Edi, sorry to bother you"
Linda went straight to Hardi, "lister of gospel day two, after all it's still six in the afternoon" said Linda annoyed. "there go home first"
"i'm tired of being home alone" Hardi lamented.
"are you online today?" edi remembered it Hardi.
"not yet brother"
"last when?"
"yesterday, about seven o'clock"
"quickly you go home, you'll have another hour or you'll go back into the cage" Edi ordered. Hardi quickly said goodbye to her brother and rushed home to go online.
After Hardi left, Edi again expressed his intention, "Linda I want to start again our relationship that has been delayed so far"
With worry and mixed feelings, Linda thought of Edi's words. On the one hand his feelings for Edi are still very big and want to welcome Edi back. On the other hand he still had to help his parents in financing Edi's college.
"why are you daydreaming? What are you thinking?" ask Edi. Linda did not flinch with Edi's words. He kept thinking about what decision he should make. Until the moment Edi touched his hand, he was shocked.
"that's.anu.eh you made me shocked" Linda said in surprise.
"what are you thinking until you're surprised?"
"i was thinking about Hardi, if I could allot time for Hardi, you and my work if we were like we used to be" Linda replied slowly.
"yes I can, I also have to go to college and starting tomorrow I have to work in my father's office for today" Edi said.
"you mean your father forced you to work because of booking this place?" linda was surprised.
"ga too, but I have a commitment that if I ask for something big like this I will work for a month in my father's office" Edi replied, explaining "you don't have to panic either, I work there anyway to improve my skills later"
Linda was a little relieved to hear Edi's answer, and she was getting more and more determined to decide what she should choose. "Edi I want to repeat our relationship, provided we don't interfere with each other's obligations"
"ohhh thank you Linda, I will obey your terms" Edi said happily. It was with pleasure that Edi called the servants and told them to order what they wanted.
"don't be extravagant" Linda protested.
"it's not wasteful, besides I've booked everything so if only the menu I ordered is free" said Edi happily "let your friends enjoy the menu at this restaurant"
Seeing the expression of happiness on Edi's face, Linda was also happy. He gave Edi permission to take something. All the waiters there ordered dishes that they could only serve to the customers.
