Daniel has booked a place at a five-star restaurant where he will have dinner with Akira. Daniel had arrived half an hour early to wait for Akira to arrive.
At eight o'clock in the evening, Akira came in a black dress. Daniel was stunned to see Akira walking closer to him.
"Hi, I'm sorry if I'm late" Akira said.
"That's okay. I just came anyway." Reply Daniel. "Come sit down."
Akira smiled and sat down before Daniel.
"Did you like Italian food? Let me pesenin. Italian food is a favorite." Dimas.
"Can." Answer Akira.
While waiting for the order to come, the two chatted lightly about the past while they were in college.
"About. . . ."
"Help. . . ." Akira looked at Daniel.
"Sorry if I'm sassy. Are you in the process of divorce?" Daniel asked, which immediately made Akira freeze. "I'm sorry Akira. Last afternoon in the park, I accidentally saw the contents of your paper splattered. Are you having trouble with your husband?" ask Daniel again.
"Yes." Yeah." Reply Akira while nodding. "But for the details of why I got divorced, I can't tell you, because it's personal. Sorry And . . . ."
"No . . . No. gabe. You don't have to apologize, because it should be a secret between you and your husband." Cut Daniel.
"Thank you for your concern Daniel." Akira said sincerely.
Soon their food came. It took the two of them half an hour to finish the dish they had ordered earlier.
The two then began to devour the available food. There was not a word coming out, only the sound of clinking plates and spoons clashing.
"About . . . ." Daniel said after he finished eating.
"Yes Dim . . ." Akira covered his mouth with his hand. "I mean Daniel . . . ." Akira said awkwardly.
"What made you come to this town?" Daniel asked smiling.
"As I said earlier. In addition to meeting with the couple to arrange a divorce, I'm also looking for investors for the business I'm in." Answer Akira.
"If you can tell, what kind of business is that?"
"Fashion. I own my own boutique and produce clothes under my own brand as well. In addition, I also want to join the Fashion Show to introduce my fashion-fashion work. For that I need investors to help me make it all happen."
Daniel looked mangosteen.
"What if I was your investment?"
Akira's eyes widened in shock.
"Are you seriously Niel? What company is your company engaged in?" Akira asked in disbelief.
"Ah, I have a small business. Don't even discuss my problems. If you want to go straight to the office tomorrow for a meeting. More formal."
"alright. But I hope you don't invest in my business just out of pity. I want to because you really believe that Akira Fashion Designer can be successful in the future."
"For that, I ask you to come to the office tomorrow morning. Mmmm for the address I'll send you via the same message."
Daniel pulls the phone out of his pants pocket, then points it at Akira.
"But I don't have your number. Can you keep it on my own phone?"
"Hehehehe, you know. Since I was in college it was hard to get your number. Eehh turn can, your even already married."
Akira laughed, making Daniel look at him until the eyes of both of them exchanged glances.
Akira quickly turned his eyes away from seeing Daniel. An awkward atmosphere ensued.
*****************
In the morning, Akira gets ready for the address of the company that Daniel sent last night. Akira had previously asked Dwi Harris to send him some files about the documents he would present during a meeting with Daniel later.
Arriving at Daniel's office, Akira was nervous. Because for the first time Akira entered the company building that he had never known before.
'I went to this town just to meet with my lawyer. But suddenly can offer to meet with investors. It's a fortune, hopefully they agree to be my investors.' Akira thought.
Akira then entered into a meeting room. There were already three people sitting around waiting for Akira to start the presentation,
Akira looks tense.
"Come on Miss Akira, just relax. It's just a regular meeting. I just want to convince the others that I didn't choose to invest in your business." Said Daniel trying to melt the atmosphere so that Akira was more relaxed.
'Does that mean Daniel agreed to be my investor before hearing my percentage?' thought Akira.
Akira then let out a long sigh then smiled sweetly towards the people sitting in front of him. Daniel sat flanked by a beautiful woman and a fat man.
Akira started his presentation well. Until the end of his explanation no one commented. Everyone just nodded.
"Sir Daniel, it looks like Miss Akira's business is indeed suitable as a place to invest." Said the beautiful woman.
"What about you Mr Andi? What do you think?"
"I agree with you too, sir." Reply to the man of fertile stature.
Akira smiles.
"Thank you in advance. But I want to say one thing. Someone has already invested in my business. But there was a problem that led us to agree to cancel the contract. And the problem is, the company is already giving funds and paying some money on a fashion show that will . . . . ."
"That's the case, you take it easy Miss Akira." Daniel cuts off Akira's words. "We'll pay for everything for you." Continue Daniel.
Merting ended with the agreement of the three people to invest in Akira's business.
Afterwards, Daniel and Akira sat in a cafe not far from Daniel's office for lunch.
"Daniel, aren't you too rash to decide to invest in my business?" Ask Akira after their lunch is over. "You haven't even seen . . . . ."
"I know the quality of all the fashion that you make, and I've seen so many people buy it. In two or three years, you'll get a lot of Akira's money, and then I can get my share." Reply Daniel steady.
"But how do you know?" Ask Akira curiously.
"I think I've seen your work a lot over the years. I even know where you live. Oopss...." Daniel quickly closed his mouth.
"You mean?"
"That's it. Lunch time is over. I have to get back to the office. See you later, Miss Akira." Daniel smiled as he walked away from Akira who was sitting with question marks.
Akira sat pensively enjoying the cup of coffee he ordered with Daniel.
"Did Daniel keep an eye on me all this time? But for what?"
Seriate.....
