The Tough Trio And Elena
Chapter 23 Ahead of the Duel

Before entering Dimas' room, Elena first knocked on the door. Steven was standing there waiting for Elena.

"Yes, please come in!"

"Sorry Sir... Mr Steven called me?"

"Eh yes... Elens... Elena... Are you going to lunch today? I mean what time are you having lunch?"

"Obviously sir, I'll have lunch with Cindy's mba at 12"

"Oh that's it... All right then"

"Sorry Sir.. If you can tell you what you called me, what's necessary, huh?"

"Ga... There's nothing... Ga so... " Steven said while grinning.

Dimas and Arya had not yet left for the mosque. The brand still peeked from a distance away. Dimas office besides there is CCTV there is also a voice eavesdropper directly connected to Dimas's cell phone, so Dimas and Arya can listen to Steven and Elena's conversation. Shortly after, they saw Elena coming out of the room.

"Tev is the worst thing about Ginian! I think I should also intervene!"

Arya just listened while grinning. Then Dimas called Cindy's mba.

"Mba, this is me Dimas. Please don't say my name when we talk about it. May I ask for help, may I?"

"Yes, sir uh mas. What do you want to ask for help?"

"Mba Cindy's gonna have lunch with Elena, right? Tell me that Cindy again can not because her husband mba again came here to take lunch together. Can, mba?"

"okay, mas. Ready it!"

"Thank you mba, later I nitip favorite food of children yes abis pray Friday as a sign of gratitude"

"Get it, I'm sincere nolongin"

"Just thank you. I went to prayer first"

"Yes, mas"

Then Cindy hung up from Dimas.

"Elena, sorry that my husband called me tau-tau he was under lunch so we can't have lunch together. What a punch!"

"Yes, it's nothing, mba. I really understand. Later I can have my own lunch or order online so I can do it while working."

"Yes, again sorry. Stay here first Elena!"

"Yes mba"

Steven was just about to leave Dimas' room when he saw Elena still at his desk alone.

"Loh, Elena said she'd like to have lunch with Cindy? Where is Cindy Mba going?"

"Ga so, sir. Cindy's mom her husband came over and took her to lunch together"

"So you had lunch by yourself?"

"Yes, Sir. But at most I order online just eat here."

"Don't eat lunch with me! Not far away at the cafe near here"

"But Sir... "

"I promise I won't bring you to fight again. How's it?"Said Steven while forming a peace sign on his finger.

"mmm... Yes sir, I agree"

"That's dong. Yuk!"

"Yuk"

After that they walked to the cafe that Steven meant because it was not too far away.

"Elena want what message? Whatever you want. You can order anything"

"Yes, if so I pesenin yes" Then Steven mentioned some menus that he recommended. Elena just nodded in agreement.

"Elena, if outside the office call me Koko or Koh aja also nothing, let's not be too stiff. My sister also called me at home"

"eeehs... Yes, well koh... " Elena said still clumsy.

Steven is of mixed Chinese and Canadian descent from Papinya, while his mother is native to Indonesia from Manado area. Among the tough trio is indeed Steven whose skin is the whitest because of mixed blood.

"Elena, I apologized for what I did to you. I know our meeting didn't start well. I was less able to get along with women and very different from Dimas."

"Well sir, uh koko... I also apologize because I was also wrong and had been impolite with Koko"

"Ga nothing, Elena. So then... Can we be friends from now on?" Steven said as he reached out his hand to shake hands with Elena.

"Yes, friend" Elena said as she greeted Steven's hand and smiled.

In Steven's heart was relieved. Tomorrow I will be able to duel with Aldo with a calm heart, whatever will happen tomorrow, he said in his heart.

After their order came, they started to eat lunch while having a light conversation.

**

Dimas and Arya had just finished Friday prayers and they were discussing where they were going for lunch.

"Where is this game, Dims. Lunch where's our dong?"

"Well, if we're going to have lunch at the cemetery, yeah'!"

"Yeeee... Ask at the jitak Pak Dimas! Uh btw, Tev's with Elena so lunch together huh? Did we just go get them?"

"I'm also curious, but I don't want to bother you, either. I think he wants to talk to Elena and apologize. Do we call it lunch or not but do not come. How's it?"

"Well, call me, Dims!"

Then Dimas called Steven. After the third ring, the new phone was picked up by Steven.

"Tev, how? You're having lunch with Elena?"

"Yes so. Here we still have lunch. Are you the same Arya wants to come here?"

"For a while... "

"Yes', Tev nawarin we're going there. How's it?"

"Yes already if he nawarin anyway nothing, we just follow" Dimas continued the conversation with Steven.

"Yes, if you don't feel disturbed we go there, Tev. Where are you maksi?"

"At the cafe that deket office, Dims."

"Okay, wait a minute. Be careful not to miss it!"

"That's why!"

Dimas and Arya then went straight to the cafe in question. When they arrived, people were staring at them as if the cafe was the arrival of a celebrity. Their physical appearance often makes people look, especially women.

Steven who saw them immediately waved his hand for Dimas and Arya to approach. Elena looked down embarrassedly at Dimas and Arya coming towards them.

After Dimas and Arya sat down, they immediately ordered a meal while Steven and Elena had already finished eating the main menu, while waiting for their dessert to come.

"Koh Steven ordered all the closing menus because he said he didn't know which one I liked. So later please help spend it, brother Arya and mas Dimas" said Elena complained to Dimas and Arya.

"Well Steven?"

Dimas and Arya were together.

"Yes, I asked Elena to call me that outside the office. Wh why? You guys don't like it?" Said Steven while pretending to put on a cynical face.

Then Dimas and Arya even aggressively tease Steven. The atmosphere became more relaxed with the arrival of Dimas and Arya.

After an impressive lunch was over, Elena returned to the office flanked by a tough trio that made the employees glance in admiration at them. Redi who was also looking at it just smiled cynically to Elena.
