Kirei
Arriving in Semarang they were picked up by Rendra. The phone's ringing speed goes off when it turns on airplane mode.
My brother calling ....
“Rei, where?”
“Gosh! Brother, sorry ...” He patted her forehead.
The man who sat in front looked back. Cringing.
“Rei has arrived in Semarang.” Welcome, “home with Mas Danang.”
Ken's voice rattled.
“Kak, sorry .. forgot to tell. Suueeerr! Rei totally forgot.”
“I'm again in your apartment. Today is over. Afternoon plan back to Solo.”
“That's how's Ma’e?”
“Maega instead of Ma’e.” The correction.
“Iya .. yes si Ma’e. Walk him now.”
“Ya is the same as my sister. It's just confusing. I want to come.” Keto. In the heart giggling. Give them another chance to be alone.
Again, Ken clucked. The phone connection just broke.
“Automination!” Chirps Danang.
He bit his lower lip. Whose fault is it trying? Night until morning we got tired. Until he forgot because he had to rush to the airport.
Arriving home, they were greeted by Yumah and Darmo.
“I go directly to the office, yes?” Said Danang as they entered the room.
“Mas Danang don't eat first?” Time is almost noon. They had breakfast with bread this morning.
“Let's be at the office.” Sela Danang took off her shirt and pants.
She gave her uniform to her husband.
“You were ushered to his lunch office?” He gives an option. There was still time she thought to cook for a while and deliver it later to her husband's office.
“Let's tired you. I eat in the canteen only.”
His face suddenly faded into an expressionless flat. It can be read by Danang.
“But if you are not tired .. can,” continued the man. He did not want to disappoint his wife.
He commented a smile, looking at Danang who was buttoning one by one his shirt, “I help you here,”
Danang rubbed his head.
“Later to the office. Mas Danang wait aja.”

Danang
Arriving at the office he passed by .. his eyebrows furrowed. But he quickly diverted by publishing a thin smile.
“Bang,” call the woman when she is about to turn towards her room.
He looks. Stopped step.
“Abang, what is kaba? (how are you)” Tanya Pradipta who caught up with her.
“Good. Me, well.”
“Fictional insurance case of former DPRD member. I'll handle it,” Pradipta explains his whereabouts back in Mapolrestabes. Without him asking.
“I'm a lawyer Mr. Edrik.” Pradipta.
Rendra just came to them. Come along a little surprised.
“Kalo no time can chat for a while with Brother?" Ask Pradipta.
He nodded, “But, sorry today I can't.” Eagles later.
“Gak pa-pa's. I understand the busyness of Brother.”
He smiled slightly, then hurried to leave the lawyer. Followed by Rendra who followed behind him.
Sitting in his work chair instantly opened a stack of reports.
“Report, Sir. Granny Sumi is likely to be allowed to go home tomorrow.” Said Rendra who was still standing not far from his desk.
“You take care of everything, Ren.” Reply without seeing Rendra. His eyes scanned the several reports in front of him.
But for Rendra this is a golden opportunity for him. You can meet with his dentist. Yess!!

Kirei
With the help of Yumah he was able to finish the cooking. A menu of food that he can cook. It was not her husband's favorite. Chicken lodho, capcay kailan, perkedel and peyek. Plus pieces of melon and dragon fruit.
He rushed to find an online object through the application. It's 12:30 WIB. Her husband must have been waiting for her.
Arriving at the office, several Danang members who met him greeted. He smiled kindly to reply. Pushing the door of Danang's work room. The man was still bowed with several sheets of files before him.
“What else, Ren?” Danang without looking at him.
He flinched. Stand in front of the man's desk.
Sontak Danang looked up, when there was no word from Rendra. And the smell of vanilla coming out pierced his sense of smell once memorized.
“Busy, huh?” Her lips. Put lunch on the glass table. He sat on the dark brown leather sofa.
Danang rose soon, “Kok did not tell you. Can be picked up. What was up here?” The boy sat next to him.
“Mas Danang is busy. Must be just open hape aja not sempet.”
It does. Upon arrival at the office, he immediately checked out some reports. The phone went off several times but was ignored.
The man smiled as a figure of speech.
It rises from sitting, “Where are you going?” Danang.
“You take a plate.” Legally.
“Wait here.” The man immediately walked out of the room. And so back carrying the plate with the spoon.
He ate for Danang. Then put the plate that has been filled with it on him. Pour water from the dispenser at the end of the room into the glass. Put it on the table.
“Enak.” The man said as the first mouthful had landed in his mouth.
“Udah pinter cook.” Tanjung Danang on the second feed.
“Tomorrow as if asking to be made again,” connect Danang on the last feed. Drink up afterwards.
He replied by reviewing a sweet smile featuring dimple prints, “Mas Danang want to request what? I make. But don't be weird. I can't yet.” Legally.
Tok ... tok ....
The sound of knocking made them turn simultaneously towards the door.
Someone poking from behind it, “Happy Afternoon, Sir. Sorry to interrupt.”
“Siang. Why Way?” Ask Danang.
“There is a deposit of goods for Mr.” Wayan put the paper bag on the table that says ‘Sambi Roso’.
It cringes. Even with that guy.
“I'm sorry,” said Wayan passed and has disappeared behind the door.
She looked at her husband, asking for an explanation. But Danang shrugged his shoulders.
Sambi roso is a famous restaurant in the city. He peeked inside the paper bag. Fresh fruit salad dressings and choco dessert. 2 Cribs each.
“It looks better this,” he said.
But instead Danang grabbed a container of provisions containing pieces of fruit. He was stabbed with a fork. Then put it in his mouth.
Ting.
Ting.
The sound of Danang's phone notifications clinking. The man ignored him. Continue to eat fruit.
“You want? Eat aja.” Tukas the man was indifferent.
“Away from—”
Followed by a long ringing sound.
“Mas ...”
Inevitably Danang got up and grabbed a cellphone lying on his desk.
“Mama,” Danang said giving an explanation of who called him.
“Waalaikumsalam, yes ... Ma.” Danang Sahut.
“Where are you? From this morning Mama phone not lifted?”
“Again in the same office Kirei,”
“How are you doing with Kirei?”
“Good, Ma. Kirei also.”
“When do you guys have time?”
Danang frowned, “Why, Ma?”
“Om Tarman brought to Singapore. He wants to see you guys ..”
The man looked at him, “Later for a break, Ma. I'm the same Kirei try jenguk.”
“Ya. Greetings to Kirei.”
“Mama said, if Om Tarman was brought to Singapore. Undergo treatment there.” Danang said after phone disconnected, “Mama send greetings.”
“Waalaikumsalam. Does Om Tarman want to tell you something about dad?” Mumbles. Several times Om Tarman asked him to meet him.
Danang budging.
His face turned sad.
“Kalo there is free time we take,” proposed Danang.
He also nodded.

Kenichi
He's upset not playing. My sister came home first. His training schedule is over. Plans to pick up and go home together have been arranged. But he had to clak many times to get the truth his sister had arrived in Semarang.
While he must accompany Maega. Oh shit! Why does he always seem to accompany the young doctor.
It's not a coincidence, is it? His closeness to Maega over Kirei's planning. Even when they vacation in Bali.
Remember that! Vacationing in Bali is not because Maega took her. Or Maega asked for it. But because friends in his office were waiting for him there.
So then?
Yes, vacationing together with colleagues who happen to be office or not, Maega also wants to vacation there.
Then, the second time Maega contacted him coincided with his training in Jakarta. Again not a coincidence! Maega's goal is to continue school as well as meet with his sister.
Now then?
He no longer knows what to do? Just the two with Maega? What's he supposed to do?
Maega for him friend. Nothing more. His sister's friend and employee of KNS. He also has shares there. So, that means Maega is also an employee.
He rubbed his face.
Leaving Kirei's apartment with gontai.
Meet Maega at one of the Mall. Not a good idea. Not a bad idea either. Many people passed by. Won't think he and Maega are lovers who are dating.
“You want to watch?” Maega asked as they passed by one booth to another.
He doesn't seem excited.
“Then we eat. Uh ... chat there, yuk!” Take Maega to a Korean-style restaurant.
He was forced to follow Maega's will.
But when he was about to sit his gaze accidentally caught the figure of a woman who .. sat in the corner with his friends.
Slowly he sat on the chair with his eyes looking at the figure who was laughing displaying his teeth. Still same. His face and laughter were the same. Even more beautiful.

He got off at Asakusa Station on the Tokyo Metro Ginza line. Walk to the Kagetsudo restaurant. There he will meet with clients.
The weather in Asakusa is warm. It is between 18 degrees Celsius and 23 degrees Celsius. For those who are not used to it like he really needs thick clothes. Or at least wear long-sleeved clothes. He lived in Sakura for a long time.
He tucked one of his hands in the pocket of his side pants. Wearing a long shirt wrapped in a sweater. Pushing the glass door of the restaurant with one hand on the other.
“Konnichiwa (good afternoon).” Greet the waiter who greeted him with a glance.
He lowered his head for a while and replied, “Hai, konnichiwa.”
The waiter drove himself to a table that had been reserved by his client. He took off his backpack and kept it in the chair next to him. Then sit in the other chair.
Not long after, the client came. But he was a little surprised if one of his clients was a stranger aka bule.
He stood up to greet them. He bowed for a while and shook the hands of the two in turn.
“Include Mr. Ganjar, this is Mister Richard.” Said Mr. Ryo.
He smiled, “I Ganjar.”
“Richard.”
The waiter came to bring her a sencha drink. It is one of the green tea drinks brewed as a typical drink of Japanese society that has been cultured. It is called chanoyu. The culture welcomes guests both at home and in restaurants as a symbol of hospitality.
Their chatter kept flowing discussing cooperation. The global insurance company Richard represented with the Japanese multinational automotive company he represented.
About an hour and a half later they reached an agreement. To discuss the contract of cooperation further. Of course he must report in advance the results of today's meeting to his superiors.
Lord Ryo and Mister Richard have left her. He also rushed away. To return to Tokyo. Wearing a backpack on his back.
He walked down the road to Asakusa Station. But it feels so dear to pass the Sensoji temple just like that. His feet turn along Nakamise street towards the temple built since the 6th century. It is the oldest temple and the most visited place for tourists. The atmosphere of the legacy of the glory of Edo era Japan is very thick and obvious. The building remains majestic and sturdy standing among other modern and towering buildings.
His eyes were full of amazement. He took his phone out of his pocket. Take some interesting and unique objects to capture.
Inadvertently his eyes caught a woman wearing kimono clothes was taking pictures in front of a large lantern hanging on Kaminarimon (Thunder Gate).
The woman smiled sweetly. He could guess if the woman was Southeast Asian. Or maybe even the same as him. Coming from Indonesia.
He hastily captured the moment. Take photos candidly.
But instantly his forehead shriveled. Richard approached the woman. Then came another woman. They look familiar. Laugh and talk. Continue to enter the temple area. Getting away and disappearing behind the crowd of people.
