POV Author
Uta accompanied Alber to see every corner of the 1st floor building that he wanted to make his cookie production site. Despite analyzing the project, Alber was extremely cold. He was really stingy talking. He will only ask short questions as necessary.
Alber was just busy with tweaking the ipad he was carrying, as his self-help tool worked. While Uta did not dare to ask outside of work again. The rebuke from Alber had completely struck his heart. He answers only what Alber asks as a contractor. The awkward mist was so thick felt. It felt like the girl had instantly disappeared from there.
"This building would be better if it was knocked down and restarted from the foundation line." Alber explained a little analysis, after observing in detail every corner of the area. He said this while looking around, while Uta chose to lower her gaze. Only his sense of hearing was strong enough, to absorb all of Alber's words without exception.
"There are some quite severe cracks on various sides, because the age of this building is already 30 years more. Fortunately, the building is only one floor. So consideration can be a lot easier." Alber, this time staring at the ipad screen. Shifted some photos of the cracks in this building that he deliberately took.
"Starting from scratch does take a little more cost than repairing damaged parts today. But the maintenance cost will be much cheaper." Further again. Uta just listened in silence.
"If you choose repair and renovation options, the cost will be much cheaper. But it can be ascertained, the cost of maintenance will swell, because this building is an old building. If this building is intended for business production, it will greatly disrupt production activities, every time building maintenance is done." Said Alber, describing the possibility of problems 3-4 steps ahead, making Uta so rethink.
"You can consider first, before making a decision. Tomorrow please meet me, at Cafe Z around 1pm. I'll make the planning details as agreed tomorrow." Alber turned off his ipad screen.
"This is my business card. Contact me if you are already at Cafe Z. My client is not only you are a lady Uta. Worry I forgot, you can contact me at the number listed." He said, handing over a business card to Uta.
"Yes, I'll consider. Thank you, Mr. Alber." Answer Uta. The girl received the business card, without staring at Alber at all.
"Then, today's meeting I think is enough. I say goodbye first. Good day." Alber. The man walked away, leaving Uta who was silent there.

The next day he woke up feeling heavy. Yesterday afternoon he called Reta to ask for Panji's explanation. But the information he got was exactly what Alber said.
Reta was equally shocked when she learned the field facts from Uta. He was also confused about what was happening there. Even the clarification from Panji, further confused him. This is also what hit Uta's mind, so the girl felt, this is much more tiring than the body that jet lag yesterday.
The plan that he had neatly arranged, suddenly collapsed instantly. After his meeting with Alber yesterday, he decided to go straight home. He canceled his plan to pick up Reta's car and cancel his shopping needs while in Jakarta. His head hurts too much. He just wants to get home to rest.

The next day, the clock showed at 12:40 pm, where Uta was sitting on one of the benches next to the window of cafe Z. He tried to shift his mind by enjoying the atmosphere of the cafe. The song that was playing was beautiful in his ears. A glass of cappucino is beautiful on the table, to be ready for him to drink.
[Mr Alber, I've been at the cafe Z you specified. You where? Should I just reschedule?] *those
[Five minutes to get there.] *Albers
Uta felt her stomach start to feel bad. Cold sweat began to wet his temples. The girl was looking for an ulcer medicine in her bag, but nil. Right at the same time, someone approached and immediately sat in front of him.
"Sorry Miss Uta, I was blocked by an important meeting." Said Alber sitting in front of Uta. The man while unbuttoning the suit so as not to hinder him while sitting comfortably now.
"It's best to go straight to the core ..nya ..." Uta to the point doesn't want to talk. Alber agreed. But not yet finished talking, Alber's phone rings.
"Sorry, I have a phone." Said Alber then took the phone from the pocket in the suit, then received the call by turning his face to the side.
"Yes, hello... Now I can't... Later that night, I'll take her to the gynecologist ... Okay ... Yep... Yep... The waalaikumsalam." He said alternating with someone on the other end of the phone. While Uta who sat before him, chose to lower her gaze. He had no intention of eavesdropping, only Alber received the call without distancing himself.
"I'm sorry again. Can we just get to the point of the conversation?" Said Alber flat after ending the phone call and put the flat object back in his suit pocket.
"Yes, that's what I want." Uta looked straight at Alber.
"So how did Miss Uta decide? Did you think carefully?" Asked Alber who was also looking straight at Uta.
"Yes, I've thought about it very carefully. I want to cancel the cooperation with your side."
