hearing their orders prof Farhan shook their heads.they were very smart to take advantage of the situation.they ordered food that was fairly expensive.
" thank you sir, may Allah increase your sustenance." they said sincerely.
" it's guaranteed to be the same to me." the professor put his cell phone on the table
" i brought you here to ask for your help in my research."
" Zahra you've always been interested in organ problems in humans. I hope you take part in this research."

" it's Zahra not bucin." her chin moved pointing at Zahra.
" he was a big selling expensive. original discount plus sir. I went to the toilet first." Ziva rushed off to run away confused looking for a toilet.
prof. Farhan chuckled at Zivara's confusion.
" is that so, aren't you Jaim?"
put your shoulders "not to use jaim if the toilet problem." replied lightly Zahra
" yes, but there is a toilet next to this restaurant." point prof Farhan towards the toilet pointer.
Zahra who saw the sign only patted his eel.
Zivara had not yet returned from the toilet while the order had already come, not bothering to wait for Ziva, Zahra and prof Farhan to eat directly their orders
trings...
notification goes to Zahra's phone which is opened by Zahra.
it turns out Ziva sent a photo to his phone. Zahra rounded her wide eyes to see the photo that Ziva sent. The look on her face immediately turned flat.
the photo sent by Ziva is a photo om Hito who is hand in hand with Sivia. with the position of the body very close even if not in the meticulous they seem to stick to each other.
tring.message sign in.
" **this I'll take when they get into the store bag brand "C". they are very friendly I also have the video."
" if the food is Dateng.jat gw do not embat. Iw again follow them**"

" oh yes prof if from what I read in this module prof his prof research takes a lot of funds."
" i have submitted a proposal to the college and they have their ACC."
" seriously? like the father of their favorite processor deh. this needs big funds."
prof Farhan chuckled at that "so if you're willing to join me help you koas at Atma Madina hospital."
with a spirit of 45 and a five-finger smile Zahra tilted her head" cius? okay then. as Ziva said, what the hell does not make father.we are the paternal grandchildren." Zahra chuckled at her own quarrel
trings....
Zahra read the incoming message from Ziva.
" **they're towards Lo."
" look at 2** "
according to Ziva's instructions, Zahra looked ahead.See two people like a pair of lovers gave each other laughter happiness with each other.
folding the hand held back the pain, a sense of betrayal was present in Zahra's heart.
" at one hour I will meet with one of the important donors for this research. I hope you attend there. how can Zahra you attend right.?" pinta prof Farhan's
" dark, ....Zahra...you why?" prof tapped on Zahra's front desk.

" can sir, but can not be long. I have to work in the cafe' "
" it's okay, thanks for joining."
" back to my father's love" said Zahra flirtatious
" i'm sorry I just finished sir" said Ziva taking a seat.

" same a man cooler than me?"
" is there any man cooler than our ideal prof Ra?" tanya Ziva turned to Zahra thrusting his phone towards Zahra.
" no. prof coolest." replied Zahra by lifting two thumbs up
prof Farhan laughed patting his eel slowly.do not know how the fightback of the duo Z. fortunately there is no Zahira.
" i have to go now. if you want to stay here longer please just. this is my debit card" prof Farhan put a debit card in front of Ziva.
indeed the trio "Z" used to eat out with prof Farhan.usually because there was a medical case. prof Farhan will ask for their analysis related to the case.
Ziva shook his head "I have been commemorated my brother prof. if I am in the same journal prof again, my brother will tell my papi to make my marriage equally prof."
" so you don't want the card." When prof Farhan wants to take the card back, Ziva snatches it right away.

as prof Farhan was busy explaining, Zahra was busy watching the donor sitting in front of her cynically.

cafe' D'lima
walk towards the cafe' casually past the car park
" Zahra." call from the cafe's car park'
looking over who called her name, heaving a sigh saw Sivia get out of her vehicle and walk up to her.
looking at Sivia's clothes, Brother Zahra sneered. The clothes were the same as the clothes that Sivia wore in the mall.
are they sharing a duty to make him angry.
" it's still Lo gawe here even if Lo's salary is cut."
rounding her shocked eyes Sivia knew her salary was cut, but Zahra remained silent.
" of course Lo wonder why I can know, yes. know the person I asked Erwin to cut Lo's salary so that Lo know himself. if Lo poor people do not pantes dapetin Hito." sivia's taunts are proud.
putting on a flat look Zahra turned around to continue the steps in the cafe'.
ignored by Zahra makes Sivia ride apitam he dislodged his high heels measuring 16 cm
" ERA..." Zahra looked
TAK.....
sivia's high heels hit Zahra's right temple, not wanting to make Sivia satisfied with her behavior. Zahra's face displayed a flat countenance even though blood started to come out of her temple.
Zahra took the high heels, she broke her rights, and she threw the high heels towards Sivia's face and Zahra continued her steps.
grimacing pain due to the throw of Sivia, with restraining angry emotions he went straight to the office of Mr. Erwin.
BRACKET...
mr. Erwin turned his head in shock towards the door that was opened violently.
" what do you mean to enter impolitely into my office Zahra, take care of your attitude" said Mr. Erwin
" the father who keeps the father's professional attitude to me. the father as well as cut my salary for no good reason." no less snapped Zahra to Mr. Erwin. Zahra stood in front of Erwin, who was sitting at his desk
" dare to act now you."
" the first father who acted against me. I refused the father's arbitrariness to me."
" i'm your boss.I have the right to cut or raise your salary." no less fierce Mr. Erwin replied to Zahra.
" i don't mind my salary being cut if the deduction is based on my performance. Anyway, the beginning of my work here is also I am not paid well by you." circas Zahra.
" what's this is yelling at each other." Hito stood at the door and stepped into the room, Erwin approached Zahra.
rounding his wide eyes saw Zahra's right temple bleeding.o.m Hito held Zahra's shoulder to face him.
Zahra brushed aside Hito's hand hard, but Hito kept forcing with both hands holding Zahra's shoulder
" hentikan. kalian berdua benar-benar jahat." Zahra menunjuk pak Erwin tanpa segan.
" you.without confirmation of me cutting my pay, you don't see the chronology of my quarrel with that woman." Zahra took her cell phone to contact someone.
" hullo. Mumtaz. come to cafe' D'lima now." Zahra immediately hung up her phone
" i swear to avenge your arbitrary treatment.I refuse to be insulted by you."
both Mr. Erwin and om Hito were shocked by Zahra's outburst of anger. tried to calm Zahra om Hito back to hold slowly Zahra's shoulder.
" i said stop. Don't hold-hold me. do you think I'm a cheap woman you can touch like you touched that bitch HUH?" Zahra stared intently with anger at om Hito.
om Hito opened his mouth in surprise. Zahra is really in a dumb-butted mode
tock...
enter the room erwin with heart because of the tense atmosphere.Daniel, Jimmy, Mumtaz, and Ibn.
Mumtaz quickly approached Zahra's brother when he found blood flowing from his temple to his shirt.
without a word, pull brother Zahra sitting on the sofa and clean the wound of Zahra with tissue on the table.om Hito approached carrying a P3K box that was immediately thrown by Zahra.
" i'd rather die than get the help of a Hartadraja." he hissed.
After cleaning Zahra's wound for a while. Jimmy stepped closer to Zahra.
" what did you call Mumtaz?" ask Jimmy slowly.
" i want Mumtaz to step down from the security department of Erwin Gautama's company." The three teenagers widened their eyes in shock.
" why?" ask Ibnu.
" she cut my pay 30% on Sivia's orders, not because of my poor performance." Zahra stared bravely at Mr. Erwin.
" but you hurt him." said Erwin.
" i haven't seen the video yet.Why did I hurt him?" Zahra remained tight.
" love him what happened back then." Ibnu directly checked the cctv footage.
they watched the recording in silence, heard a sigh from Mr. Erwin.
" Sirah...."
" i don't care what you want to say. Mumtaz brother wants you to step down from this project."
" yes well." replied firmly Mumtaz. because he was also hurt by the behavior of the superior brother Zahra.
" if Mumtaz retreats, then we retreat" said Jimmy firmly.
" this is why RaHasiYa's cooperation with you is canceled" Daniel concluded.
" you can't" refused Erwin.
" of course we can." said Jimmy sharply. Jimmy made a phone call
" Ba to the cafe' D'lima bring a contract of cooperation with him.we cancel the contract.all bring a techno car. without objection." said Jimmy hung up the phone.
mr. Erwin who was confused by what happened. Silently noticed four teenagers began to pack his cctv equipment.
Bara entered the office, confused, he immediately took a position sitting on the sofa.
" what is this." asked Bara confusedly.
" sister Zahra forbade Mumtaz to join this project, the reason is that the boss cut Zahra's salary because of Sivia's man." explained Jimmy
" it is not clear to say that treating the Mumtaz family is like treating Atma Madina. Erwin Gautama." I pressed the last sentence with dislike.
mr. Erwin closed his eyes tired.he did not expect Zahra's salary cut he did have a big impact.
" Mumtaz also did not join the Hartadraja project" said brother Zahra while looking at Mumtaz.
" all right." said Mumtaz casually. Mumtaz believes in Zahra's decision there must be something painful behind it.
" means RaHaSiYa is also out." said Jimmy is taken by Ibnu and Daniel.
" no problem with Hartadraja.it is still the early stages of negotiations" said Bara staring in om Hito.
om Hito who was originally sitting with a little down raised his head sitting upright.
" why spread to the Hartadraja project?" confused about Hito.
" i don't want my sister to help a man who doesn't regret killing his father." Zahra's sarcasm stared directly at Hito's bead eye.
" you've taken a stand, I've taken a stand. It seems you've underestimated my warning." Zahra played her phone to send photos and videos from Ziva to Hito and Erwin.
trings...
dungs....
two notifications go to two different phones.
silent for a moment after seeing the contents of the notification, om Hito closed his eyes and held his phone tightly.
hoping for mercy, asking to be given a chance to explain.shaking his head meant that he did not betray Zahra.
" anjir. Lo runs out of the same way Sivia To." shouted Mr. Erwin. screams ignored Hito.
" shit.he's lying again.fucking that chick." look at Mr. Erwin's temper. Zahra smiled smirk. Her suspicions are true that Mr. Erwin has a heart for Sivia.
Hito was confused by Erwin's anger. " Why the hell is Win?"
" fuck.he promised me that he would be my girlfriend if I cut Zahra's salary." Erwin rattled his hair in annoyance
Hito turned a blind eye of disbelief "lo Sivia swore that same promise Lo?"
" that's it. he said since Lo refused he turned back he no longer interest the same Lo. what's in it I lied." Erwin leaned his body towards the head of the chair
" well my business is done with the cafe' d', five." Zahra went out of the room of the former boss.
when he got to the door Zahra prevented Mumtaz.
Mumtaz who is busy picking up cctv equipment on the lower floor. riding with hunting breath.
" sister if you want to go home not now.under again many journalists look for brother in the same way om Hito."
brother Zahra was stunned to hear that. om Hito stepped over to Zahra's brother. pulled Zahra's arm to the back of his body as if ready to protect.
Mumtaz pulled back Brother Zahra towards him "I am still able to protect my brother." rejected Mumtaz over the protection Hito offered.
Hito and Mumtaz stood facing each other by throwing sharp eyes no one wants to succumb to brother Zahra standing in the middle between the two....
