Seventh

Langit doesn't know what made him Choose to wait up to half an hour in front of a small cake shop on the road to his office.

I want to swear many times but don't want to step on the gas of the car.

he even had a first meeting and asked Bara only to meet a woman he didn't know.

Shiiittttt....

if after this Nara still didn't forgive him, maybe he would act to close the little shop.

There was an annoyed hissing sound along with it indicating that the person who woke up saw the clock which was already showing 8 to 5 minutes.

what time does the shop actually open? Langit thought, even school children have to go to class at 7 in the morning.

Langit frowned when he saw one by one people approaching the shop that he had been stalking for a long time and chose to squat down and some of them were standing in the courtyard.

what are they doing? it's impossible to just queue for cakes because around there are also several shops that serve the same menu.

only one thing is possible, could it be that the cakes are so good there that enough people are ready to queue? The thought made Langit shake his head vigorously.

she had only come there to apologize and return Nara's attitude to her, not to interfere in the affairs of someone she didn't even know her name - except for the call of ara's mother which Langit had heard from her daughter's mouth time and time again.

with a distance of 2 houses from the shop, Langit could see a woman who looked foreign in his eyes looked down respectfully and looked regretful, before finally opening the shop with the key She took from his pocket.

Langit could not confirm whether it was the same person he met 5 days ago at a shopping center owned by one of his business partners.

because that day he didn't even see the woman's face, all he could think about was worrying about Nara's condition.

he wanted to go down and settle the matter, but the presence of several people he believed would be disturbing enough to make the man decide to go out and just be a buyer there.

The sound of something above him as he opened the door made him look up, finding a bell that was rarely used in shops these days.

He looked around, no longer surprised when some people looked at him with smiles that were too wide, especially a group of mothers who immediately whispered with joy.

Langit calmly ignored, he looked at some pretty interesting cakes in his eyes which automatically saw the price written on the front of each type of cake, even very cheap for the size of the cake he usually bought.

a cake that had been his favorite for a long time attracted his interest to try it.

and with one movement of his hand he got what he wanted, supported by lips of natural color not spoiled by the tobacco that began to bite and chew.

his eyebrows raised to the side, the cake he bought didn't taste this good, he thought.

He often travels abroad due to work demands, that's how red velvet tastes from every country and it doesn't taste like this on his tongue.

choosing to finish the cake in his hand, he immediately returned to put some of the same cake into his mouth and also a different cake to keep at home.

He turned around and looked at the cashier which was already filled with rows of people carrying baskets.

Langit clucked, he was lazy to wait and preferred to stay in his place while watching the woman behind the cashier who was smiling friendlyly at the customer's smile.

Beautiful..

the first word that came to his mind, his beads unconsciously traced the curves of a person's face that he didn't realize was as beautiful as when they first met.

thin lips with a charming curve when smiling, eyes of medium size and perfect black beads, thick eyebrows but not excessive, a slim sharp nose, a sharp and slightly parted chin, thin but still adorable cheeks and black hair that is neatly tied up.

subconsciously his lips smiled, forgetting that the woman he was looking at right now was also looking at him with a slightly furrowed brow.

Andara felt familiar with the man in dark blue who was on the cake rack - with almost a basket full of cakes staring at him intently.

until the footage of the incident at the shopping mall lightly spun around and made her roll her eyes in surprise.

Nora's father.

what made the man come to the shop? does he know about what happened yesterday when Nara found him in this place?.

Andara is afraid that the man will misunderstand again and disturb the peaceful activities of her shop.

although the man seemed silent, but who could guess given the events of the other day.

maybe Andara could humbly ask the man to wait.

With slow steps, Andara took a black plastic chair in the corner of the room.

without the slightest difficulty She lifted it and put the chair beside the man standing.

made Langit, who had started to realize from his admiration, chose to follow Andara's steps who put a plastic chair beside him.

The woman, whose name is still unclear, cleared her throat, making Langit feel a little nervous for some reason.

"You... Nara's parents aren't you, sir?"

Langit squinted his eyes, ahh.. apparently this beauty still remembers it, he thought.

Langit chose to clear his throat, making Andara's body even more goosebumps, especially the pitch-black gaze that made her... I don't know, her didn't know what was wrong with her body.

until a touch on her shoulder which was covered by a blouse with a half sleeve length made Andara flinch and with one movement She turned her head quickly.

found a woman who, as she recalled, had bought a cake at the store yesterday, lifted her half-filled basket.

"I want to pay Mrs. Andara" Andara smiled kindly as he nodded and asked her customers to wait.

Looking back at Langit, Andara was again surprised by the black beads that were also staring at her.

The movement of scratching the tip of the nose that became her habit when She looked nervous could not be prevented.

She cleared his throat awkwardly, choosing to say goodbye with a hand gesture that made langit nod back.

with quick steps Andara returned to where She came from.

shhh...

her body worked out of her control as she faced the man.

Andara tried to focus on the cakes completely, but for some reason her gaze without permission occasionally glanced at Langit who was relaxing enjoying his cakes.

made her have to shake her head a few times to gather all his focus that was drifting somewhere.

lest She harm himself and her own customers just because of a handsome piece of meat looking relaxed there, he thought.

25 minutes, the time it took Andara to wince reluctantly because what he saw Nara's papa was not someone who didn't have a job so he was willing to wait for her.

choosing to bring a bottle of drink that he still hadn't opened at all, Andara thrust it towards Langit who was still busy with the last bite of his cake.

the man gulped it down halfway which again made Andara wince, how long has She been away from papa nara? Moreover, seeing the number of cake wrappers sitting on the bench next to him, maybe 5 or 6 Andara didn't intend to count them, chose to walk towards the door and reversed the word open and close as usual, not wanting to make the man wait for her anymore.

Andara saw langit who was walking towards the trash can not far from his position, made her decide to also take the plastic chair in the previous place, brought it to the Langit who had returned and placed it some distance away.

"Sorry for making you wait so long," said Andara as she sat down in her chair.

that very second he was startled by the strong hands that held her arms and shifted her chair so as not to have too much space left.

Andara chuckled awkwardly, okay .. maybe She was too wide to give distance.

"You don't have to be so formal so it's not awkward." This time Langit started to control his body, he chose to act the same as he did in front of his girl friends.

Andara nodded briefly while showing a sweet smile that made Agit spontaneously avert his eyes.

Shiiitt .. he is not that strong if it has to be served with that smile. men.

"So you came here just to buy a cake or...?"

"no.. Ehm.. what happened 5 days ago at the mall, remember? I want to apologize., I was just worried about Nara, so I got carried away and you know what happened next"

Andara pursed her lips, somehow she found it funny with the way Langit was talking that looked worried.

She cleared her throat to neutralize her voice "It's okay, I understand.. I was the one who felt bad about my son's attitude at that time, he shouldn't have behaved like that" Langit frowned in surprise.

wait.. child? he remembered that he was only dealing with the woman in front of him and a teenager holding Nara in his arms.

So who is the child this woman in front of him is referring to?

Slowly the statement that appeared in his brain made his beads slightly swell.

"Wait.. You mean the teenager at that time was your child?" Andara actually wonders why everyone seems surprised to learn that raga is her son.

but Andara couldn't help but nod too, it's impossible if She shook her head right?.

"I thought you were in your 20s?"

"Huh..? hahaha..." Andara was confused with herself right now, she never laughed out loud if not physically, but for some reason, just because the man in front of her said wrong, she was able to burst out laughing.

"Sorry, I'm 32 and Raga.. my son is 14 years old" langit nodded in surprise

He wasn't ready for the laughter from the woman in front of him.

cute, sweet and beautiful at the same time

awkward with the atmosphere that began to quiet, Langit took the initiative to offer his hand which Andara replied with a forehead.

"We don't know him well.. Langit" with a sincere smile Andara returned langit's hand

"Andara.."

"But Nara used to call you Mommy Ara"

again Andara grimaced on the spot while unlinking their hands.

"That time, I told Nara to just call Aunt Ara, only she suddenly heard Raga's call to me so...she came along, but don't worry, if Nara comes here again, I'll tell her to call me aunt- -"

"No.. it's okay" Andara narrowed her eyes in surprise as she looked at Langit, made Langit scratch the back of his neck nervously.

"m.. Nara is comfortable with that nickname, so--"

"Mommy?"

they didn't know if their chat was too pleasant or the shop doorbell had a problem.

but certainly neither of them knew when Raga came in with a cold face that showed his displeasure.

made Andara, who knew her son's condition, move and approach.

regardless Langit that was still staring at them, Andara hugged her son and patted him lightly on the back.

until the jaw that was originally protruding from emotion loosened and merged into Andara's arms.

"Son, how come you're home? Let's sit first, mama get me a drink" but as if she didn't understand if Raga looked unfriendly towards Langit, her mother chose to leave the two of them making Langit confused himself.

want to say rude but he knows that yesterday he was in the wrong, but if he is being nice, how come his face is annoying, thought Langit.

"what are you here for? want to embarrass me and mom again?"

Langit was stunned on the spot, honestly for a 14 year old teenager Raga's aura was quite intimidating.

"Sit down, let me explain." Langit pointed to the chair Andara were originally sitting in with an eye movement.

Raga actually didn't want to, but didn't want to make a fuss because his mother was inside, Raga chose to just obey.

he said flatly "to the point"

"Okay.. I admit I was wrong.. I was panicking, Nara disappeared from my reach when I received a call from the office, I didn't mean to blame you because I was careless in taking care of Nara, so I came here to meet your mommy and you to apologize"

"How did you know that this shop belongs to your mother?"

"From my mother, yesterday she came here with nara and saw the interaction of the two"

Raga was silent, if Nara came yesterday, why didn't his mother tell him everything?

"Because you were annoyed when mom told you about Nara, right, son?"

Raga saw the origin of the voice, saw her mother walking closer, carrying a bottle of cold chocolate drink.

Raga did not refuse when Andara thrust a drink at him.

"Raga is not upset with Nara, Raga is annoyed with her father" said Raga casually, without paying attention to you and langit showing a different expression.

Andara with an apologetic smile towards Langit, and Langit who sighed resignedly.

"You can't do that sis, mom never taught you to be a vengeful person"

Raga shrugged his shoulders unconcerned "Raga doesn't hold grudges, Raga forgives this uncle, but Raga's memory is still sharp, Raga doesn't matter if only Raga is humiliated, but if mother ... Raga can't accept it"

"What can I do to make you forgive me"

Andara and Raga both looked up at the sky with different facial expressions.

until Raga turned his gaze back and took a sip of his drink into the toilet.

"Nothing, I've forgiven uncle, but maybe my perception of uncle needs time to change"

Raga left after saying that, no... the teenager didn't come out, he just took another seat some distance away while putting down the laptop he took out of his bag, placing it on an empty table that was not being used.

"sorry.. if Raga is not polite, he really never gets along with other people"

Langit nodded slowly, feel that he has nothing to do anymore, he handed him his cake basket and asked Andara to total his shopping, not to mention 4 pieces of redvelvet cake and 2 cups of chocolate cake that he had already eaten.

while Langit's attention can't be separated from Raga who looks so serious playing his laptop.

no.. the kid doesn't play games like teenagers his age, his left finger moves very well on the keyboard and his mouse moves on his right hand.

Langit was getting more and more interested in seeing the changing computer screen movements until the man realized who Raga really was.

with a curious look, Langit approached Raga and looked from behind the child while making sure his eyesight.

felt that if his guess was not wrong, Langit straightened up again with a crooked smile that was created

"You're a hacker right?" closed his laptop as fast as possible Raga gave his angry look to Langit, he didn't want anyone to interfere in his business except his mother of course.

"don't interfere, sir.." he hissed

"Calm down Raga, it's not that I want to interfere in your personal affairs, I actually need someone like you?"

Raga narrowed his eyes not understanding, realizing the ignorance of the teenager in front of him, langit tried to explain.

"My office is in trouble.. an insider betrayed and leaked the design of a project that we are ready to launch to a business opponent, if you can solve who is behind it and provide evidence, I promise I will do whatever you want, including the salary you want" Langit's suggestion

He doesn't mean to be arrogant, but the oath of whatever design and ownership is so valuable that his client gradually chooses to withdraw the statement of cooperation with his company.

while Raga who was still silent was seen again showing his grin.
