Raya-Indra Store
A girl in a light blue plain shirt suit combined with a long cream skirt subordinate makes her look elegant, plus her feet are adorned by high heels in cream color. Don’t forget the small sling bag that only fits a cell phone and wallet. Like most working people, Raya wears neat clothes, but the difference is that now she doesn’t wear the blazer she used to wear when she was still working in the office. Now she can work more casually. Down the stairs to the bottom step. As usual, Mr. Kevin was already at the dining table having breakfast, albeit only with white bread plus jam, plus coffee.
Raya came over to the dining table, glancing briefly at her father who pretended not to notice her presence. Even though Raya knew for sure that her father was aware of her presence, he just pretended not to see his daughter. Raya took a piece of white bread and smeared jam on it then immediately ate it, she also brought a glass of water to bring to the living room without the need to sit at the same table with her father. She deliberately chose to sit in the living room because she wanted to avoid her father who always forced her to go back with Gifer, and it really made her uncomfortable. After the breakfast was over, Raya immediately left in her private car without saying goodbye to her father.

Raya’s car was parked at a snack shop under the name Raya-Indra. Opening the car door, and getting out of there, the first thing she saw was the MMT with her and Indra’s names on it. Satisfied to see that, the corners of her lips pulled back, signaling that she liked the two names prominently displayed in her shop. Not waiting long for the other car to arrive, Raya’s smile grew bigger when her lover got out of his car. Immediately she rushed into her lover’s arms.
“Honey, I’ve really missed you,” Raya looked very happy while hugging her lover, and vice versa. Her lover accepted her hug well and smiled deeply into Raya’s eyes, then turned his gaze to the closed shop.
“Same, I miss you too, dear. How come the shop isn’t open?” Indra was a little surprised that Raya had come first and brought the key but didn’t even open the shop.
“On purpose, to wait for you.”
“Oh I see, well, now we open it together,”
“Let’s go.”

At the mansion Mr. Kevin, still sitting quietly in his office suit. He was about to leave for work, but an incoming call diverted his attention.
“What’s up?”
“Are we going to do our stunt now boss?”
“Yes, evict all the loyal customers of Raya-Indra’s shop, no shoppers in that shop!” He ordered the person on the other side of the phone.
“Alright, we’ll do it!”
“Good, don’t let Raya find out. Let her realize on her own that what she has done is not right. The right thing is to go back to Gifer and persuade him to come back to my company!”
“Yes, boss, we will do everything as ordered by the boss,”
“Alright, I’m going to work first. If there’s anything, just call me,”
Mr. Kevin grinned imagining that his plan this time would also be successful just like what he did at the foundation where Gifer taught at that time.
“Ah, I forgot, Gifer. He’s also not allowed to have a job first, but that’s for later, after the problem with Raya is over, then the problem with Gifer will be dealt with. Hahahahahaha.” Mr. Kevin laughed until the whole room echoed his voice.

In a place with the ground covered with Japanese grass in patches, many flowers blooming around it, there was also a white painted bench that was slightly elongated, there were two people who were talking. Yes, it was Gifer and Belvina who had arranged to meet at the park near the foundation where the man was teaching.
“What did you invite me here for? Isn’t this hour still among your working hours at the office?” Asked the man who was sitting next to the girl in a blazer suit and a bluish-green knee-length skirt. It was only natural for the man to ask, because suddenly the girl pulled his hand from the crowd of mothers who were registering their children for braille courses. This made the man wracked with all kinds of questions in his brain. Haris the friend also did not know if his friend was pulled by someone. As a result, he only worked alone while being surrounded by the women.
“I have something to talk to you about, it’s important. Besides, I’m already home at this hour because the bank is quiet. Usually, 11:30 is the break time,” Belvina, the girl sitting next to Gifer tried to explain.
“Ah so, what do you want to talk about?” Gifer asked back.
‘Actually I want to talk about the eye donor for you, Gif. But if I talk about it now, I’m afraid you’ll take offense. I’d rather not talk about it.’ Belvina said silently and chose to change the subject.
“Can you go back to being the CEO?”
Instantly Gifer froze, his tongue suddenly stuck out even just to make a sound, this time it was like something was holding him back. Gifer shifted his gaze to another direction, then looked back at where Belvina was. Although what he saw was still black.
“Why are you asking like that?”
“No, by wearing clothes like that you deserve to be the CEO,” Belvina giggled slightly, the tense atmosphere broke into a relaxed one.
“Dih, teasing,” Gifer who was facing seriously towards Belvina smiled and looked straight ahead.
“Who’s teasing, right? I’m right, right? The ladies were amazed by your good looks when you wore that suit. Adding a tie and suit would have been even better, hehehe,” Belvina laughed as she covered her mouth with the palm of her right hand.
“No need to fantasize too much. After all, CEO is my past job.”
“Well, who knows, in the future you can become a CEO again?”
“You seem to watch a lot of dramas. Nothing, reality does not match expectations. See this? I’m struggling to work again since the incident at the thug attack. I’m still suspicious, who sent those thugs?” Gifer felt that Belvina was engaging him in a debate about his work.
“Yes, it could be that someone doesn’t like you working somewhere else,” Belvina replied.
“Oh, don’t you want to?”
“No, how dare I hire a thug? Dih, there’s really no point, you know!”
“Well, who knows,”
“You’re just like that, accusing mul.” Belvina started to get bad mood because she was accused by Gifer. She also silenced the man for a while. Not hearing the voice of BElvina anymore, made Gifer feel strange. Did the girl leave him? He thought.
“Vin, why are you silent?”
“I don’t know!”
“Are you angry?”
“Geez, you’re angry just like that. Yes, I promise not to do that anymore,” the corners of Belvina’s lips pulled back at Gifer’s words.
“Promise?” Belvina pointed her little finger in front of Gifer. Gifer also started to raise his little finger even though he didn’t know how to link his little finger to Belvina. Belvina, who knew that, pulled Gifer’s hand so that they could link their little fingers.
“Promise!”
“Haha, it turns out your little finger is fat,”
“You’re teasing.”
“It’s okay, but it’s cute,”
“Hahahah.” They both laughed, as if the world only belonged to the two of them.

Raya and Indra’s snack shop was now deserted, with no customers at all. People only passed by with frivolous glances when facing the direction of their shop. It made Raya’s attention wonder.
“Honey, it’s really strange today, it’s already 11:30 and our shop is so quiet. There are usually three or four customers, and they usually buy a lot.”
“Maybe they’re bored, dear. Do you buy snacks at our shop every day?”
“Yes, but usually there are different people who buy. And yes, earlier I saw some people looking down on our shop. I don’t know why,”
“Really, dear?”
“Well, that means something is wrong. We have to investigate.”
