This morning at the Hermawan residence....
Mama Hani and Papa Adi came down from the room to the dining table for breakfast. There are already presented several menus, there is bread with several variants of jam flavors. There is also fried rice and half-cooked beef eye eggs. They're getting ready for breakfast. Just wait for Yoga, so they can have breakfast together.
" Bikes.... Please call Yoga to quickly go down for breakfast yes...!"
Mama Hani's orders to her home assistant. Yoga has not yet come down.
" Den Yoga has departed this morning, madam."
" Oya...? But he had breakfast, right bik....?"
Ask Mama Hani, worried that the boy forgot his breakfast.
" not her.... Den Yoga said he was full. Because last night she spent her birthday cake alone."
" Biriday cake?"
Now it was Papa Adi's turn to open his voice, asking with a sharp frown at the base of his eyebrows.
" Yes sir. The birthday cake that den Yoga brought yesterday afternoon. He said, a gift from someone. "
Papa Adi immediately put on a serious face, glancing sharply at his wife. Then seemed to think hard, while Mama Hani could only be silent.

Yoga arrived at the office before many employees arrived. Even before his secretary was present. He deliberately set out early in the morning to avoid the same discussion with the papa.
He really felt tired today. He was thinking of taking a break at home. Because all night he had trouble falling asleep, thinking about his life problems. But to avoid the father. And again, last night he made excuses to everyone, that he had a meeting this morning. So he decided to stay in the office.
In her room, Yoga attempted to contact Biqha, before starting her work. Because since last night, Biqha hasn't picked up a video call from her. Biqha could not be contacted this morning either. Yoga anxiously thought of Biqha who might have been angry at her, since she had already canceled their appointment last night.
" No.... Biqha is not the type of girl who likes to be confused. He is very understanding, there is no way he is angry. Moreover, I said I should meet important clients from outside. Biqha must have understood. But why didn't he pick up the phone from me?"
Yoga on itself.
While in other places, it is inversely proportional to Yoga that is experiencing anxiety. Erick arrived in his room refreshed and with a radiant heart. Last night's events seemed to have a positive effect on his heart and soul.
After a long time he did not feel the warmth in the middle of the family, living with a sense of loneliness and alone in seclusion. Last night he felt it again. Although not a real family, just eat with a friend and his sister. It was enough to treat the loneliness in his life.
Erick sat on his study couch for breakfast chicken porridge he bought on the road. As he was about to eat crackers, Erick smiled comically at the crackers. Because of a funny incident last night. Where he and Biqha snatch crackers in plastic bags, like a child.
" Khamhu khan udhah mhakhan bhanyhak. Inhi bhaghian hakhu. " (You ate a lot. This is my part dong.)
" Yes has Bi.... That's a lot too. For a few more why the hell?! Very ticklish."
" Yes, it's mbak.... Just these crackers. Tomorrow can also buy again, " said Rendra defended Erick.
" Khamhu thu adhiknyhah shapha? Bhelhahin dhia mhulhu dharhi dhulhu." (Who is his sister? Remember he was mute long ago.)
" Rendra is my brother too. You forget that my mother raised me to be her son too. His eldest son. "
" Ghakh hadha..... Chumha hithu chandahan. Lhaghi thehep hadjha hakhu yhang khakhak khandhungnyha." (No yes..... It was just a joke. I'm his real brother again.)
" No one, no problem. What's clear is that Rendra is more comfortable with having my brother than lo."
Biqha was really bewildered like that by him. If not in the lerai of Rendra, the debate will certainly be long and widespread everywhere.
Erick laughed funnyly remembering that. He shook his head, laughing as he looked at the crackers in his hands. Just because of the crackers, they became bickering until they almost made a fuss last night.
While on the other hand, the person who was thinking about the two men was stuck in traffic on the road.
' Duh..... It's a real mess. Could be late for gini.'
Biqha murmured in her heart, while going back and forth looking at her watch and the densely crawling streets.
Biqha is getting annoyed considering her who woke up bad luck this morning. Because he slept through the night, until after midnight. Because there are annoying uninvited guests coming to his house at night.
Fortunately, he was on prayer leave. If not, it'll be late this morning. And the sister did not protest either, as she only served white rice and omelet with chili slices and chives in it.
Biqha was late to the office for about fifteen minutes. Fortunately, he is not alone. There were several employees who were also late because they were stuck in traffic, including two division colleagues. Desi and Lina also bag them, Miss Diana. So it's pretty safe.
Before starting her work, Biqha went to the pantry to make warm tea. Then took the time to give news via chat to Yoga, who had contacted him since last night.
// Ga' sorry yes. I can just tell you now. //
//Last night I fell asleep. The next morning I saw my father die. I just found out you called me before you left for the office.//
// But I was in a hurry, so I didn't take the phone back.//
// This is me also new to the office. Late, because of the traffic jam.//
Soon his chat lamgsung replied by Yoga.
// No papa dear....//
// Thankfully..... I thought you were angry with me.//
// This afternoon, we have lunch together....! //
Biqha did not have time to reply, because an Office girl said that Diana was looking for her.
Until he saw two of his colleagues talking about the man. He found out that he was the father of Yoga. Who Yoga used to introduce to her, on their graduation day.
" What's up, huh...? While Mr Adi met Mr Erick in his room? If there is a problem in the office.... Mr. Adi can ask Mr. Erick to see him. "
The question that Desi asked, represented the question of many employees who were there. No exception Biqha. Where usually the boss will call his subordinates when there are problems or other needs. And again the news that he heard, has long since father Yoga is not active again in the office. He was more active in his new small business.
And in the manager's room, Erick let in someone who had knocked on the door. Erick was surprised by the arrival of the owner of the company he currently works for. Erick immediately stood up and walked up to him, welcoming the carefree arrival of his boss.
" Of Adi....? Sit om.....!"
Erick immediately invited the father of his best friend, to sit on the sofa in his room.
" What's up ? Suddenly he came here. If you have the same needs Erick, you can call Erick. Let Erick come to see om. "
" So seriously, you Rick... It's about Yoga. Om hope you want to be honest with you and also willing to help you overcome it."
Seeing the face of Adi who is very serious and there are flashes of emotion in his eyes, Erick suspects that something bad is happening.
" What's the problem? Did the surprise party last night not go well?"
" More than that. Yoga wants to cancel her wedding plans with Alin."
" What...?"
Erick was surprised not to play hear a statement from om Adi.
" Why om? " ask again.
" It should be the one who asks that is the same as you. You are his best friend. You must know what happened. He always told you anything. Or you intentionally covered it up from us. And support his decision to follow your lead. "
The last sentence sounded like a harsh satire to Erick. Erick immediately raised his head with round eyes, looking at Adi. He was quite offended to hear the words that the father of his best friend said.
" Erick really doesn't know. "
" Oya...? Then what about the new employee named Nabiqha? I'm sure it has something to do with him."
Again the words of om Adi suddenly made him lift his head, because so surprised.
" You must know what happened between them" he continued.
Erick shook his head while looking down. He understood where this conversation was going. Erick began to think of the possibility about it and his suspicions first.
' That's not possible. Yoga and Biqha are not likely to be secretly in touch. '
Erick tried to deny his own thinking. Seeing that Adi is starting to look emotional, Erick tries to deny all that.
" Erick doesn't know what I mean? Why is this all related to him? If you mean it is about Yoga that recommends him to work here. Erick didn't know about it at first either. And Erick has repeatedly confirmed to Yoga that his decision has nothing to do with his feelings for Biqha" he explained.
" It's true.... Yoga likes that deaf girl?"
Erick gasped at the insults from the man before him. But seeing a flash of emotion that is getting bigger in the eyes of Adi, making Erick can not interrupt it. Even Erick regretted his own words, which seemed to have mellowed matters.
" It's not what you'd imagine. It was just an interest in adolescence. Love Monkey time High School. And Biqha itself never responds to the feeling of Yoga. There is no relationship between them, other than friendship. "
erick's explanation, trying to eliminate suspicion in the heart of Adi. While om Adi was just silent, while looking at him fixedly. It was as if he was looking at the truth from Erick's eyes.
" At that time, Yoga accidentally met Biqha who was looking for work om. We also need an accountant. So he asked Biqha to come to the office. Because he knows Biqha's ability is above average om. It is in the interest of the company. And it is proven, the results of its work so far are very good. " hereinafter.
Om Adi still remained silent, digesting Erick's explanation.
" About that suspicion.... Erick doesn't think that's right. Because so far, Erick has seen nothing suspicious between them. They were never even seen interacting at all in the office.
Erick's story is not entirely honest, because Erick had previously suspected Yoga. The suspicion again disturbed his mind. But before making sure of everything, Erick thought it was better to cover up this problem than Adi.
" How about outside the office? "
Erick widened his eyes hearing the question from om Adi.
" What if they do deliberately cover up their relationship in the office, and secretly establish a relationship outside? "
Erick fell silent, and began to pull back his memories some time back. From the beginning of Yoga's statement about his desire to get married, but immediately he erratized and then said that getting engaged is not necessarily a match.
Then Erick also had time to find Yoga returned to the office in the opposite direction from his home. However, this is in line with the contract of Biqha. But it could all be a coincidence. Like Yoga said he had some business. Then he also remembered the words of Rendra, about Biqha who often telephonized at night.
' Is it possible that the person who calls Biqha every night is Yoga? Not Dawn? I have to make sure of all this first. Before that, I better cover this suspicion from Adi.' He murmured in his heart.
" It's impossible om. Because it's... Which Erick heard Biqha was close to one of his colleagues here. Well.... Although Erick doesn't know for sure, it's true or not."
Erick was forced to make a lie to calm Adi. And saved his two best friends. But if those suspicions were true, Erick couldn't imagine what chaos would be in them. But as much as possible Erick will try to make sure the chaos does not happen.
I hope this suspicion is not true. That's the hope Erick is living in right now.
" I hope what you say is true. But if it's proven that Yoga and the girl have a relationship, and you deliberately cover it all up. Om wouldn't hesitate to act Rick. Affirm this to your two friends ! Moreover Yoga. Make sure he doesn't go any further. It's not just about feelings anymore. But about the family's good name and could have an effect on the viability of this company."
Erick could not refute Adi's remarks, as this was their family matter.
" And about the girl, om could have gotten rid of her right now. But om doesn't want to act arbitrarily before everything is proven clear. Because it's asking, you also have to make sure his presence here does not create problems. "
After uttering the threat, Adi was about to leave the room. And Erick drove him to the elevator, until he passed.
