At midnight Rainero awoke from his sleep. His stomach was hungry again, but he had no appetite for anything other than the chrysanthemum meatballs he bought this afternoon. Rainero walked to the sofa. On the table there is still a bag containing chrispy meatballs earlier. Rainero bought a hundred thousand. The driver said it was 50. The lift of a bag containing chrispy meatballs, it turns out that the contents are only 5 seeds.
"Gosh, I eat that much. But naturally, from noon, afternoon, night, all I ate was this," he murmured alone. Then he devoured back his chrispy meatballs which were not actually chrispy anymore. But Rainero did not care, he continued to eat it until the ludes did not rest. Even the sauce was exhausted and left only the wrapper.
"Well, my stomach is still hungry? I'm craving or worms anyway?" Smell it to yourself.
"Can anyone make this delicious food? Mana is still pingin. Did I just go out and buy again? Wait for tomorrow, eventually," he murmured again. He thought the chrysanthemum meatballs were sold in a 24-hour restaurant so he could buy them at any time like in his country.
Rainero called his driver. Once, twice, up to five calls, but the call never gets picked up. Rainero threw the origin of his phone and then rubbed his stomach which sounded the crackle.
"Gosh, I think I should go get my stomach checked out by a doctor! Lest the contents not only worms, but anacondas," he mumbled himself.
Rainero yawned and then he threw his body back on the bed. His gaze shifted to the ceiling of the room then he muttered, "hi would-be mommy, you hear me? I miss you so much, you know. Maybe you hate me so much right now, but strangely I can't stem my longing for you. I'm a man who doesn't know himself, yes" he murmured, chuckling. "Hi my baby, soon Daddy is sure we'll meet. Wait for Daddy. Daddy is close. Daddy please, help Daddy apologize to mommy, okay. Miss you too, my baby," she said softly before her consciousness slowly disappeared into the darkness of that morning.
"Acci ... " Shenina who had been fast asleep instantly woke up as she felt her stomach tighten again.
He rubbed his stomach which had begun to softly open it. There was a strange sigh that suddenly crept in his chest. Shenina herself did not understand, what was really bothering her mind at this moment.

Early in the morning Rainero seemed to have been neat with his work suit. Yesterday he failed to meet with the Kenz Company so the meeting was postponed today.
The meeting, which took almost 3 hours, went well. Both parties agree with the agreement and the terms that are established between them. After talking for a while, sharing knowledge and experience, they also say goodbye to each other. They will meet again one week for the signing of a cooperation agreement.
"Mark, do you remember where you bought the food yesterday?" ask Rainero. Now they are in the car.
"You're not satisfied eating that much food?" axton was astonished from the front bench.
"Ck .. I asked Mark, not you."
"I'll just ask," Axton replied indifferently.
"Why are you getting chatty more and more every day?" Omel Rainero is upset.
"Cashywashy? Your feelings are acutely sensitive. Basic prospective father."
"And you won't be a father-to-be soon either."
The two continue to crush each other. Mark scratched his non-itchy nape. Why do the two bosses like to fight? Maybe this is how to strengthen their friendship times huh, Mark thought to himself.
"Mark, answer my question! Not dumb-headed like people eat less," said Rainero again.
Axton can only chuckle. Some of this time they are getting more chatty. I don't know why. If Rainero's being fussy might factor in Shenina's pregnancy, but what if she was? Axton doesn't understand either. They were not this big before.
"It seems that even chatty nature can be contagious," he murmured alone.
Rainero smiled broadly, "let's get there soon. I've been hungry since last night. You too, why didn't you pick up my phone? Though I've called repeatedly, but you go up," Rainero's scolding makes Mark grimace.
"Sorry boss, I don't know. Maybe I slept too well. But boss, even if I pick up the boss's phone, it's also useless, we can't buy food like last night."
"Why could that be?" ask Rainero in wonder.
"Yes, because if the sales night closes."
"Huh? Why don't you just close it forever? Open it only during the day. What restaurant is that?"
Mark took a long breath. This is how the rich man who only knows to eat in expensive restaurants, which fringe sales understand. Just stopped by Mark Sensei Rainero had done it.
"It's not a restaurant, boss. Just a small sale."
"Small-time sales? What kind of sale is that?"
Axton who heard Rainero's rant also let out a long sigh. He justifies Rainero's attitude because he has been rich since he was still in the clouds. So how do you understand the lives of small people. Oun School in an elite school of international level. The environment and his friends were all upper class people. When he jumped into the business world he immediately held an important position in the company, so how to know he had a small business as Mark said.
"Small-small sales are makeshift sales with potluck capital. Understandably, they do that to connect life, not like high-class people who have large capital so they can build a company. Small sales also only use a makeshift place and energy as much as possible. Some are selling on the side of the road, well for example like that ... " Axton pointed to a small stall on the side of the road and a cart of fried vendors.
Rainero turned his attention to the small merchant.
"Are they not too hot to trade in such a place? And ... can they benefit by selling like that?"
"The heat is certain, but how else. Their capital is limited, they cannot buy land and build a nicer and more comfortable place. If the problem is profitable, yes, there are certainly, only the benefits are very limited. Usually only enough for daily needs," said Axton again.
"You seem to understand that kind of thing very well."
"Did you forget, I was one of them. It's just that I'm more fortunate to be able to get a scholarship and go to school in the same place as you. I'm also lucky to have a friend like you who always helps me in difficult times" said Axton, who continued in his heart.
"Boss, so, we've arrived" Mark interrupted when his car was parked across the wagon that read Meatballs Krispi Mbak Bule.
Rainero then turned to look at the quiet wagon because the break was not long over. Rainero's eyes squinted as he looked at the figure he recognized sitting relaxed on the chair that was there.
