Secret Denis
The Forty Eight

Denis parked his motorbike in front of a large carwash building. Next to him is a workshop that looks balanced with a carwash building next to it. It looks bright and full of cars that are quite classy as visitors. Still in the area also looks a cafe with a very comfortable atmosphere. It seems like the place was deliberately made as a place to wait for customers while being able to drink coffee or other things.

For a while Denis just kept silent about the place. Seeing the busyness of the workers who no one he knew. Until a man emerged from the building with wide glass at the corner of the place. His tall body was clearly visible from where Denis was. The man spoke to a staff member with agile eyes and finally settled into Denis's face, which was far away from him.

The man's eyes were fixated and met Denis's eyes which since his presence had continued to pay attention to the man. Regardless of the interlocutor, the man walked quickly to Denis. A smile expands on his lips. Same with Denis. He immediately got off his bike and greeted the man.

"Dennis!" The man cried with a happy look and was also moved to see Denis' presence in that place.

The man grabbed Denis.

"Is this really lo?" The man patted his hand on Denis' shoulder.

"Bang Theo! How are you?" I really wanted Denis to hug the guy. A hug from a sister to her foster brother whom she greatly respected. But a sense of reluctance made him hold back with all his might so that his hand would not do that.

"Yes my. I thought we wouldn't see you again. Thank goodness you're okay." Bang Theo is too happy because of his encounter with Denis. Until he doesn't know what to say first to express his feelings. He took Denis to the room where he came out. Apparently it was the office where he ran his business. There was a man there who helped him work.

They sat on the couch in the room. Earlier he told his workers to bring drinks for his special guests.

"I couldn't believe it when Fani told me to meet Alex at the hospital." His gaze was still not separated from Denis. The smile continued to expand and sometimes he shook his head in amazement at Denis' presence before him.

"Yes..So now you live with Alex? How is he doing now? Fani told me that Alex's father just died."

"He was devastated. Since he returned home, he hasn't had a chance to talk to his father. The state of his papa is very concerning when Alex is not at home. And now his father is dead. Alex feels very guilty for not being able to take good care of his papa. That's why now he feels so sad." Denis breathed. The image of Alex was in a very alarming state last night. But when she recalled what Alex had done to her, she suddenly felt her face heating up.

"She needs a friend like you at a time like this." Bang Theo's voice jerked his daydream.

"Eh.iya..He needs to be alone now. He just stayed in his room and I don't want to bother him."

Bang Theo employee came with a drink and some snacks. He smiled faintly as he put those things on the table.

Bang Theo then introduced the two of them. Denis just nodded his head at the man named Dawn.

"Lo try to get Lukman to come here." Bang Theo said to Dawn. Without refuting the man immediately came out of the room bang Theo to call Lukman.

"What's? Lukman is here too?" Denis flabbergasted.

"Yes. All me boyong here. The workshop there has been sold and already belongs to someone else. Pity the children if they are left there. I fit them well."

"Gue can't wait to see them. Sama mbak Fani also met only briefly time in the hospital. He came to know Alex's father died."

"Yes. He also told me about meeting you. He's eager to come to Alex's father's funeral. But he forgot to make Alex's address. He has no time in the afternoon. He's busy at the hospital. You just come to the house. Sisil must have met lo."

The glass door of Theo bang room opened. Lukman showed up with a big smile when he saw Denis in the room.

"Dennis!" He sat down next to Denis and punched his old best friend in the shoulder. He almost hugged Denis if Denis didn't run away.

"No hugging. Amused me." Denis brushed aside Lukman's hand on his shoulder.

"I don't think you're in this world, Den. Thank goodness you're okay." Lukman ignored Denis's words. He knew Denis was only joking when he said that.

"severe. Lo ngarepin I'm dead, what?"

"Yes Den. Then we thought you brought the same people in the car. But when I get threats from unknown people, I'm sure you're not the same as them."

"Gue did indeed fall into the abyss. Looks like Lukman's brother is looking for the wrong spot. So don't find us."

"Yes. It seems so." Bang Theo mangosteen. He regretted not being able to find Denis back then. If he had tried harder, he might have saved Denis and Alex.

"Yes. You just come home. You must be kangen with Nani's bi cuisine, right?"

"Banget, bang. I went straight to the house, bang." Denis answered enthusiastically. His eyes sparkled imagining the happiness he would get in the middle of Theo bang family. The family he missed so much. The family who had given him sincere affection even though he was a stranger who hitched a life on them.

After being content to talk about various things, they walked out of the room. Denis looking around the workshop new bang Theo.

"Gue can work here again, bang?" Cetus Denis while watching the workers bang Theo who number more than in the old place.

"It's delicious with Alex. Ginian's job again."

"Gue prefers ginian work, bang. There's a challenge." Denis grimacing. That's not the real answer. He wants to avoid Alex. After the incident last night, he did not dare to show himself in front of the man. There was an explosive sense if he remembered that. And he was afraid he couldn't control himself. He also doesn't know if Alex will remember that. It would be a shame until Alex remembers. Denis hopes, Alex was really in a drunken state at that time so will not remember about the incident.

"You should definitely tell Alex first."

"That's not necessary. I'm not tied to anything with him. So, I guess, I'm free to do what I want."

"If you think so, it's up to you. I'm even happy that you're working with me again. This place is always open to you. When do you want to." Bang Theo pat Denis on the shoulder.

"Thank you, bang. It's the best thing for me." Denis said with full haru.

Bang Theo nodded. He was very happy with Denis.

"Lo's not in trouble with him anymore, is he?" The question immediately made Denis stuck. He escaped his gaze hiding the nervousness that suddenly ambushed him.

"Yes no. What's the matter?"

"Yes, just one time."

"Yes, bang. I'll take care first. Take my mall to my brother's house."

"Gue, really wait. Don't lie to you. I want to tell bi Nani to cook your favorite food."

"Don't bother, bang. I just want to meet Fani."

"It's okay. I am happy you survived. Think of this as a form of gratitude I can meet again lo."

Denis looked at the noble-hearted man with teary eyes. His heart was touched with all the kindness of that man. Although he felt that he had been the cause of chaos in Theo bang family, but it turns out that the man did not mind it at all.

"Do not cry lo. No pantes." Bang Theo punched Denis in the shoulder while chuckling. Denis grimaced while frowning his shoulders.
