“Yeah.”

“Something happened?”

“Nothing.” 

The woman's face was indeed ordinary at the moment But not for a split second before and the man was clearly aware of it. “Liar,” says Ray slowly.

“What did you say?” asked Calya who could not hear the man's words clearly.

“Nothing.” replied Ray casually, but clearly not naturally. The thing that made Calya quite upset.

“Anyway, where were we?” The woman tried to forget her pity and return to their main topic of conversation.

“I have to go, let’s talk about it later!”

Ray moved, his eyes fixed on the screen of his phone. Almost the same as what happened to Calya before.

“Where are you? We're not done yet?” the woman asked half annoyed.

“I don't think I need to report to you, do I?”

Without waiting for a response or seeing the woman, Ray walked away. Calya is getting more and more upset.

‘Who does he think he is? Come-go as you please! And what was that rude attitude? Whatever he does he always sucks!” swearing the woman in the heart.

This afternoon Calya and her team will attend a meeting with the Niskala Group. As a follow-up to the successful launch of their new game. Now they are starting to target global markets, and this meeting is to discuss the types of promotions needed to help achieve these goals.

On the other hand Calya felt quite worried. After his quarrel with Arion the other day, the man never contacted him again. Although, it was clear their relationship was not the kind that required them to tell each other every day, but the man's change of attitude felt awkward for Calya.

Maybe he was still angry and that was the woman's concern. Perhaps he would retaliate by making his team suffer on the job this time, that was what he thought. But is he that unprofessional? The woman was also doubtful. After all, the thought of meeting the man again after what happened was already very uncomfortable, frustrating him.

But it turned out that all those worries were only in his head. What happened turned out to be very different. There was no revenge from the man. Because he was not present at the meeting, only his team came as representatives. It was very unexpected, but it made the woman even more worried.

All sorts of worries still filled the woman's head. This time about Arion, about ‘how the man's current condition’ more precisely. Maybe guilt has enveloped Calya's heart, making the man survive in her mind. 

Recalling the attitude that the man had shown all this time and how complicated his life was. ‘I already know too much’ thought. Who would have thought those thoughts ended up leading Calya to a decision. A decision that is arguably unexpected. ‘I'd better help him’ he said.

For the first time outside of work, Calya attempts to contact a man. Women make a variety of movements, from sending messages to meeting the man. Although of course the results of his efforts have not been satisfactory.

Arion could not be contacted, did not reply to messages, or could be asked his whereabouts to the people around him. It seemed like a dead end was blocking Calya at the moment, yet the woman did not give up. He is the type that once he sets a goal, he will make it happen. Although this is not a matter of work, but its determination remains the same.

“Hey!” call his friend who is currently enjoying a glass of ice coffee. “I need help”.

“Okay. Which project? The niskala? Radhikka? A smartphone? or Fast Food?” his friend's chatter barely stopped.

“Not a job problem?”

“Not? Then?”

“It about..”

Noticing the change from her theme made the woman stir. And the exaggerated reaction almost dampened Calya's intention to ask her friend. ‘Do I not have to say it?’

‘But I've run out of ways. I clearly need new point of view!’ his spirit was burning again as he recalled his current situation. ‘Qeiza, friend. He will definitely help me,’ cheers himself back Calya has made up her resolve. He believed in his friend. Also believe in the more frenetic reactions he will get next.

.”WHWHAT? YOU'RE WHAT? YOU GUYSWHAT? HIM WHY?”

“Do not ask if you clearly understand. Please! Don’t make me do it twice!”

“Okay.. I-i understand. More like.. surprised?” Qeiza looked confused to express her feelings.

“Do not be confused. At least among all your people who most nga I expect to be confused now.” Calya was already at an almost frustrating stage, visible from her current gestures.

“It’s complicated. also He is complicated,” Qeiza is starting to seriously dig into the root of the problem. “Why did he have to react so hard to what his father was doing? I mean, he's also famous for the same thing right? I think he's just ‘Fruit fell not far from his tree’. But now, it seems not.”

“Yeah it doesn't.”

“You know something? You have to tell me everything if you want me to help?”

Calya was standing right in front of an apartment building, her eyes staring at one of the tallest floors in the building. Long enough before he sighed, then steadily stepped into the building. Until his feet stopped in front of one of the units in the building. Staring at the door hesitates as if saying ‘I shouldn't be here.’ His heart repeatedly told him to leave the place and the woman almost did it if she did not remember what her friend had said.

“If I go there isn't the same as surrendering myself to danger?” 

“But ‘DANGAR’ is your destination.”

“True.”

“Then you have to go there!”

“If he's not there, how about?”

“88.8% of people who are more complicated must be at home, trust me!”

Ting.. Vat..

The first bell he hit made him nervous, probably because he had no idea of what he was going to see and he heard from the man. A few seconds passed and there were no signs of a response from inside. Calya pressed the bell a second time, and went back to waiting. This time not a sense of nervousness but a sense of impatience that enveloped him, seen from the repeated tapping of his fingers and toes.

“Hah.”

The woman's patience began to run out after a few minutes. Now without a doubt Calya pressed the bell button constantly. Intentionally intend to make people in there dizzy with the sound of a bell that never stops. ‘This will get him out soon,’ he thought.

Clik.

A voice that signaled that the door was about to open, made Calya start to feel relieved. ‘At least my efforts to come to this place paid off’ thought the woman. After the door opens and the figure he is looking for is seen, Calya finds herself sculpting. For a moment he could not recognize who the man in front of him was.

Not the trendy Arion from head to toe. Or a man who knows his charm for women. The man who always spread a smile before starting the seduction looked messy, very very messy. Clothes that are not clear what he is wearing, hair that looks like electricity, also the appearance of a face that is darker than cloudy out there. All those scenes made Calya aware, ‘dia is not okay.’ 

“What?”
