He's my son, not my brother
The question answered
"How about we eat at our restaurant this afternoon? We haven't eaten there in a long time." Tawar Thoriq when the clock is almost showing the time to rest.
Thoriq's question was successful in making Naina's daydream stop.
"How's Naina? Do you agree?" Sasa asked after confirming Thoriq's words.
"May be." Reply Hana.
"For lunch this time Thoriq's rations treat us right?" Ask Sasa to Dimas and Aga remembers they got paid yesterday. And it has become a tradition among them if they will take turns to pay for lunch after payday every month.
"You're right. I almost forgot about it!" Reply Dimas.
"Yes, yeah. I invited you to eat there because of that." Tymphal Thoriq.
"Good..." Sasa raised both his thumbs on Thoriq.
"Then let's go now." Invite Dimas after seeing the clock on his wrist already showing a break time.
Thoriq, Sasa and Naina nodded in agreement. While Aga is only silent but still follow the wishes of his friends.

"President?" Sasa said with a voice that sounded quite loud when he saw someone who had just entered the restaurant.
Hearing Sasa's words, Naina stares at the door of the restaurant where Daniel and his assistant are seen walking from there. From a distance that is not too far away, Naina can see Daniel's face that looks bruised and slightly swollen.
What what's with her? Inner Naina wondered.
"Daniel..." Aga who also noticed Daniel's face muttered. Not much different from Naina, Aga also wondered what happened to his cousin.
"You don't see if our President's handsome face is bruised and swollen." Sasa said quietly to Thoriq who seemed to be watching Daniel.
Thoriq nodded. "It looks like the President just got a raw bogem." Seloroh Thoriq's.
Dimas elbowed Thoriq's arm and set his eyes on Aga, who was now watching Daniel move into the VIP room.
"You want to die, huh?" Sasa's whisper in Thoriq's ear for almost forgetting that Daniel is Aga's cousin.
Thoriq replied to Sasa's words with a small laugh while scratching his non-itchy nape.

"What, Mom? Daniel came here to apologize and was beaten up by Dad?" Both of Naina's eyeballs are breaking. He did not expect Daniel to do something he could never have imagined without his knowledge.
Mother nodded in confirming. "Son Daniel did it to fight for Zeline and apologize to you."
Naina down. "Had his face looked bruised at the company." Lirih Naina but can still be heard by Mother.
"So Daniel keeps working with his face like that?" Ask Mom.
Naina nodded in confirming. "At what time he did things Nai would never do, Mom." Naina said in a slightly raised voice.
"Naaina... I never taught you to be stone-hearted like this. Daniel had dared to admit his mistake in front of Father and Mother even he was willing to get a blow from Father without defending himself. What Daniel did was enough to prove that he wasn't an irresponsible man. Try to open your heart to receive her kindness, Naina." Say Mother.
"Nai's not stubborn, ma'am. Nai just doesn't want her to have bad intentions on Zel. Nai won't let her get what she wants before Nai makes sure if she truly accepts Zeline sincerely as her daughter." Naina.
"Maaina..."
"No matter how much she apologizes, it will never change the pain Nai has felt all along, Mom." Naina then with teary eyes.
