Sky stood on the balcony of his room, breathing the night air and enjoying the gentle breeze that greeted his skin. The sound of footsteps from behind made Sky turn around.
"papa" call Sky.
"what else?" ask Mr. Adersn, papa from Sky.
"ngadem pa" Sky replied and looked back at the night sky.
"is there a problem?"
Sky fell silent, maybe his papa can help find out Zeline's background and who the man who was angry this afternoon to Zeline.
"Sky can you ask me a favor?"
"say"
"Sky wants to find out about someone"
"girl?"
"yes"
"your boyfriend?"
Sky shook his head, there was a hint of cloudiness from his face.
"he rejected you?"
"not pa. Even Sky hasn't told you that Sky likes him"
"your love is clapping one hand?"
"not really sir. I just wanted to say I like him"
Mr. Adersn was silent. He looked at the son then patted Sky on the shoulder.
"sleepy, tomorrow papa asks you and your two friends to replace papa meeting to Acro group"
Sky nodded, he heard the footsteps of the papa getting away. After a while Sky also stopped his ngadem and went to sleep.

While at the Zeline boarding house, a man was standing around his waist in front of Zeline.
"you are ashamed to know!!" exclaim that man.
"now quickly give money to me"
"are you ashamed to ask me for money?"
Plaque..
"lucky you've grown up. Now is the time for you to return the favor"
"reply to what?"
"the child does not know how to profit!" the jolt of the man then grabbed Zeline's hair.
"i've sent you from Elementary until now graduated from college. Until you can set up a restaurant.where money is not from me huh!!!"
"i never asked you for money. And the restaurant was built on my own money"
"you..." Zeline grimaced as the jubilee in her hair grew tighter.
"you think when you're a baby you're not in the feeding hah!!"
"you don't want when you're your baby to be so troublesome I even have to hire a baby sitter to take care of you. A lot of money I've come out for you and now you're refusing to pay back"
the man further tightened the coveting on Zeline's hair, making the girl grimace even to tears.
"pa's sick.." - Zeline.
"give me your restaurant's profit money, think of it as a return to me. Remember I'm your papa, a child should've given money to his father"
The man took off the coarse jayak on Zeline's hair and pushed the girl's body. The man went straight into Zeline's boarding house and moments later he came back out with Zeline's motor contact.
"this motorbike will be sold, because you refuse to give money to papa"
Zeline was only able to cry seeing the motorbike she bought from the results of her efforts taken away by a beat*at man whose affection is her own papa.
without Zeline realizing it, two men who accidentally passed in that direction saw the scene earlier.until Zeline entered the boarding house with a chaotic state they saw her.
They exchanged lyrics then pushed their motorbike into a standstill.

"quickly get ready for gaes, bokap tell us to make a meeting to Acro group" Sky told his two friends.
Varo and Enda just nodded and prepared the necessary files. The silence of the two companions made Sky astonished.
Varo and Enda followed Sky from behind. The two men looked at each other's lyrics and elbowed each other to make Sky stop and look back.
"what the hell are you on?" ask Sky.
Varo and Enda compactly shook their heads. Not wanting to think about it, Sky continued his footsteps towards the parking lot.
the atmosphere in the car was so quiet, neither Enda nor Varo spoke. It invites curiosity Sky. Usually, the two friends are clowns who are used to making jokes wherever they are.
"you two fight?" ask Sky.
"no" Enda and Varo answered simultaneously.
"again thrush?"
"no"
"continue why tired, feel all car the same cave statue if diem-diem bae like this"
Varo and Enda exchanged lyrics.they similarly sighed harshly.
"we actually saw something last night" Varo said.
"what the fuck?"
"we will discuss later, we focus on meeting first now" said Enda.
Varo and Sky nodded.

In the restaurant, there is a scene. Yuni and Dea screamed hysterically when they saw Zeline's bruised face. Chef also made seafood fried rice and a glass of sweet warm tea because Zeline looks pale.
"Zeline, you okay?"
Zeline nodded weakly, they immediately walked into the restaurant and closed back down. For today maybe they will open the resto a little afternoon to see the state of Zeline.
"who made you look like Zel"
Yuni raised Zeline's chin and saw a bruise on the corner of Zeline's eyebrow. There was a scarlet slap on Zeline's left cheek.
"sick?"
Zeline just nodded, looking at Zeline's wounds, Yuni knew who the perpetrator was, but she couldn't possibly get angry in front of Dea who didn't know anything.
"Dea please grab that p3k box in that cashier's desk drawer"
Dea nodded, he walked up to pick up the p3k box then handed it to Yuni.
"you go back, ready the food that has been cooked with the chef. If you bring it here later"
Dea nodded, he went straight to the back. While Yuni sat down next to Zeline and started taking out gauze and red medicine. Although it was a bit late but at the very least it would make Zeline's wounds a little better.
"that breng*ek guy again?" ask Yuni.
Zeline nodded weakly, her eyes glazed over. He is tired if he has to continue like this.
"my motorbike's taken"
yuni's hand was clenched in anger, he knew the motor matic was simple but bought from money Zeline worked part time during college. And now it's taken by the man who was supposed to take care of Zeline.
"when did he come?"
"semalem, I just got to kostan"
"starting tonight you moved the cave boarding house aja Zel, although a bit far but maybe safer because the men breng*ek it does not know the cave boarding"
Zeline nodded, it seemed like this time she had to obey Yuni. Before long Dea came carrying a tray containing a plate of fried rice and a glass of warm tea.
"please help the same desk chair in tata ya de, sorry brother can not help first" said Yuni.
"yes sister, Dea can do it"
"now eat first" Yuni told Zeline a plate of rice.

"every day you go in Varo's kayak gini office"
