"Hi, Amanda."
A voice sounded greeting, making Amanda who had just arrived in front of the office lobby also turned her head.
"Gareth?"
Amanda looked at her old partner in shock. Gareth is a successful entrepreneur and is usually very busy. Suddenly the man was in front of his eyes. Gareth approached and they shook hands.
"Hey, how are you. Koq is here?" ask Amanda wonder.
"I happen to be reviewing my new venture, it's near here. So all of you stop by. I think we haven't seen each other in a long time" Gareth said.
"Oh yeah?. What effort?"
Amanda asked the man again and the man replied.
"Resto, across the street there. To the left of the SPBU."
"Oh, so all this promotion?" ask Amanda again with a smile.
"Yes, you could say that" Gareth replied with a smile.
"There is an affordable price, maybe it can be recommended to your employees" he continued.
Amanda had a little laugh.
"We're talking inside." take the woman.
"Aaa, I'm afraid you're busy. But if you don't mind, today I fully reviewed the restaurant. At lunchtime you will be there. Free for grand opening, especially for you, said Gareth.
"Mmm, okay." Amanda replied.
"I went back there first." said Gareth.
Amanda nodded her head.
"OK." he said later.
"The name of the restaurant, the great people." said Gareth again.
"Sip, I'll be there." Amanda replied.
"Don't wait, I wait."
"Yes, Gar. I must've come by koq, take it easy."
"OK on."
Gareth said goodbye and Amanda walked in and walked into the lobby. At the time of the incident, Intan, Satya, and Deni there witnessed it.
"Who is the same Amanda?. Also handsome." seloroh Intan.
"Lu mah can't see the clear bit, Tan. I've got a guy as well you." sloroh Satya.
"Tau, I'll tell Ansel you later." Deni.
"But, you two are evil. The complaint!" exclamation Intan.
"Emang."
Satya and Deni high five, while Intan looks sewot. They both walked to the lobby door. Actually they have arrived at the office since, but they just finished buying cakes and rice sitting next to the office.
At lunchtime, Amanda keeps her promise to Gareth. He visited the restaurant in question. It turns out that the restaurant was built on land and buildings that had seemed abandoned.
The old building was demolished and replaced with a new one. Amanda had seen the construction done several times, but she really did not know if the place had been bought by Gareth.
"Hi, Amanda."
Gareth greeted and approached.
"Hi, Gar. I think this was built for what, uh it turned out to be a restaurant. I didn't know it was yours." Amanda told the man.
Gareth smiled too.
"Yes, you're going crazy" Amanda said with a laugh.
Gareth also laughed.
"Yeah, we're going inside!" take Gareth.
Amanda then walked in the footsteps of her old friend. Gareth chose for him a table on the balcony outside the restaurant.
At that time visitors were quite crowded, but most were inside. Because the atmosphere inside is also very cozy and Instagram able.
"So, what's the mainstay menu here?" ask Amanda when they've been sitting at the table, and the waiter has come to bring them the menu.
"Okay, I have a good recommendation for you."
Gareth selects the mainstay menus at his new restaurant. Amanda was interested in trying it and they finally ordered. They talked again while waiting for the food to come.
"What underlies a Gareth, finally willing to do the food business?"
Amanda asked the man a question.
"As I know, you like to do business. But all this time your business has never been about food." he continued later.
Gareth laughed a little.
"I like to challenge myself. I can or cannot do business in this field. But I also consulted a lot with some people I trusted. They say the food business has good prospects. Especially in today's era there are online objects that help sales. So yes, this is the fall of the business fad. If you are successful, thank God, no. As a distraction." replied Gareth.
Amanda nodded her head.
"Are you interested in being an investor here?" ask Gareth.
Amanda just laughed.
"I want to see for the next three months. If it goes well, why not." replied the woman.
"Then I will try to make this business skyrocket to the moon in the near future. So you'll work together later."
Amanda laughed again.
"By." he said later.
They continued talking, shortly after that the waiter arrived and brought their order. Amanda tried the food recommended to her and it turned out to taste pretty good.
"It's delicious, I like it." Amanda told Gareth.
Gareth looks happy and satisfied with all that.

While on the other hand, Amman began to miss his children again. He wants to meet Amanda and Nino. He also misses baby Amara and hopes to hug the child tightly.
Amman never regretted his love for Citra. He also accepted the consequences of everything he had done.
But right now he is just lonely. He wanted to be visited whether it was a moment. He wants to be able to hug his children while talking to them about many things.
There was nothing he could do in prison except be quiet and contemplate everything. He could only hope that one day this would all end.
He wanted to regroup with all of them and atone for his sins slowly.

"Nin, didn't you see Amman?"
Ryan asked Nino at the same time, with Amman thinking about his children. At that time Nino was struggling with work on a laptop. It's at Ryan's.
"Later, dad. Nino is busy. After all Amanda is together, so want to wait for the right time first." replied Nino.
"Oh, yes, that's it. Daddy just wanted to remind you, so you don't forget about Amman. Yeah, even though daddy doesn't know how you feel about him right now. But clearly he's your real father, you should be able to share his affection with him."
Nino took a deep breath and nodded.
"Yes, dad." replied the man later.
