When you wake up in the morning, Sapphira smells the middle bread on the roast. He saw Virza was already in the kitchen.
Realizing that a pair of eyes were watching her, Virza looked back.
“Gue make more bread, if you want let's have breakfast together,” invite Virza.
With slow steps Safira approached to the dining table. He hesitates a little with Virza's seemingly sudden kindness.
Before applying peanut butter and chocolate on the bread Safira research first to make sure there are no harmful ingredients. Turns out Virza saw that.
“Lo afraid I'm poison?” ask Virza.
“Hehe...” safira chuckles clumsy. “Lo if good makes people suspicious,” he said.
“Ya already if you do not want,” said Virza.
“You want to.” Sapphires quickly and quickly apply chocolate jam on brown bread.
After they finished their advice to clean up and prepare to go to campus. They left separately. Sapphira came earlier than Virza.
Safira gets the news if today many empty hours of lessons. Sapphira decides to go to Benny's residence, the father-in-law after hours of teaching. To talk about the part-time job he took.
Two hours passed, Safira immediately boarded a bus to the Eclipse complex which had to pass two stops while riding transjakarta. Arriving at his father-in-law Safira was warmly welcomed by the 58-year-old man.
“Safira, in and out,” take Benny to his son-in-law.
Sapphira slowly entered her in-laws' house. The look of Benny's face a little pale makes Safira reluctant to say if he wants to accept working part-time offered by Raka. However, Benny knew that Sapphira was holding something back.
“Why are you, son?” ask Benny.
“Again?” ask Safira again.
“No, dad is fine.” replied Benny. “Something you want to talk about, what?” benny.
Safira took a deep breath and ventured to say it.
“Yeah, Safira from tomorrow can't come here. Maybe once a week,” Safira said with doubt.
“Why?”
“Safira starts work tomorrow, Dad. Working part-time,” Safira explained.
“You need money? Why didn't you say? Should've told dad or Virza,” Benny said.
“Everybody needs money, yeah. But safira just want to work.”
“Did Virza do you bad?” insist Benny.
“No, not dad. Virza is good.”
After the night changed, Sapphire left his old residence. After seeing her daughter-in-law leave, Benny calls her son to ask what is going on to make Sapphira want to work alone.

“Nothing happened, Dad. Even had breakfast this morning. There is no problem whatsoever between us,” Virza said.
“You should find out why he chose to work,” Benny's pinta to Virza.
“Iya, Yah.” said Virza degan obediently.
Yakk…
The sound of the door opening and then closing almost simultaneously with Benny and Virza's call ending. Virza stared intently at the girl who had just entered his house.
“Why?” safira asked confusedly looking at the intimidating look in the eyes.
“Lo from where?” ask Virza back with her flat face.
“From dad's house,” Safira replied.
“So actually lo said goodbye to dad if you want to work?”
“Iya!”
“Jesus!!” furious Virza.
“Lo really! Why should I tell dad? You looking for attention? Find her sympathizer?” cecar Virza's.
“Lo why think strangely to me? I'm not sure that's attention! I promise Sam dad to come home every day, if I work so can't be. That's why I'm happy!” Safira.
