Akmal, who had just arrived from delivering Alma's cust order, immediately stopped the speed of his motorcycle in front of Alma's bakery. He stared from the outside, and it was seen that Alma's shop was very crowded with shoppers.
"Alhamdulillah Alma rame shop. I think I'm late to this, surely Alma is over," Akmal murmured while wanting to step inside the store.
But only next to Akmal's feet raised to step, Akmal saw Alma who was busy serving customers assisted by Rendra. Akmal did not step up, he breathed heavily and turned towards his bike.
"Always, people first.. If Alma is not my soul mate, take me away from him, O Allah. I am willing to suffer for love, as long as I can see the person I love happy, not hurt." Akmal muttered while sitting on his motorbike. "Two years more I'm not close to any woman, because you're Al. Because I can't turn away from you, and now look! I will suffer a second time for love.." Akmal spoke to himself and smiled wryly. He turned his head towards Alma's shop for a moment, then left from Alma's shop using his motorcycle.

Afternoon.
"Alhamdulillah... The sale today is selling well." said Alma with a satisfied smile.
"You're good at making bread, Al. Of course your bread buyers love the taste." said Rendra.
"Aante! Aunt.. Chi wants that bread dong." Chika pulled the end of Alma's shirt while pointing at the small cake.
Alma followed the direction of Chika's index finger. "Chi want that one? Bentar Aunty takein" said Alma walking to get a small cake with a cartoon motif.
"More.." Alma handed the cake to Chika.
"Yeay.." Chika cheers cheerfully. He started eating Alma's cake.
"Ep.. Al! I'm sorry I disturbed you at this busy time," said Rendra not feeling well.
"No pa-pa, sir. I should be the one to thank Mr. Rendra for helping me." said Alma while staring at Chika who greedily ate a mini cake.
They are currently sitting in the cashier's seat.
"Every day you see that? If it is, why not find a worker to help you sell in your store?" Rendra looked at the beautiful face of Alma who was propping up her chin.
"Mama usually helps. But if Mas Akmal is off, it's Mas Akmal who helped me in the store." Speaking of Akmal, Alma remembered something. He patted his own teardrop.
"What's up, Al?" ask Rendra astonished.
"I forgot. From this morning Mas Akmal nganterin sponge customer orders. But why hasn't the clock come back yet?" Alma stood up from her seat and walked up to pick up her phone which was in her tote bag.
Alma dialed Akmal's contact number.
tut tut's..
Directly connected calls.
"Hello, Mum!" Alma immediately greeted Akmal. He was very worried, because it was late afternoon Akmal had not returned to the store.
📲"Waalaikumsalam, hello Alma.." says Akmal softly.
📲"I'm sleeping," Akmal switched the call to a video call.
The beautiful face of Alma filled the screen of Akmal's phone.
Alma glaring. "When I'm here worried, you're there even good 'an sleep. You!!!" Alma looks upset.
Akmal laughed there. 📲"I'm sorry Princess. I went straight home because I saw you were busy, so I didn't have time to say goodbye" Akmal said.
"You know I'm busy, why don't you help me? Even cheering home," Alma sulked.
📲"And Rendra has helped you" said Akmal relaxed.
The deg!
Alma's heart stopped beating. He looked at Akmal's face on the screen of his phone, then turned to look at Rendra.
'Geez, I'm not good at Mas Akmal, ' Inner Alma.
📲"Al! Alma.." exclaimed Akmal calling Alma who was just silent.
"Eh, huh? If you want to take a break, I want to close the shop. Oh yeah? You're going to my house later tonight, right? We eat satay at the end of the alley of my house," said Alma wanted to apologize by treating Akmal.
📲"OK order.. Assalamualaikum,"
"Wa'alaikumsalam" says Alma.
The call was cut off.
Rendra and Chika did not hear the conversation between Alma and Akmal. Because now Alma is a little far away from the cashier table. Alma looked at Rendra and Chika who were talking and joking.
