Isal: "but, I don't understand the internet or computers. Why don't I just work with you. Washing vehicles is easier."

Adjie: "Just follow my orders. You're still new here."

Isal agreed and followed Adjie's request. A few hours later. They arrived home. Isal met Leila.

 
Leila: "Isal, it's been a long time since we met. How are you?"

Isal: "I'm fine, Leila."

Leila: "I'm sorry, we both haven't been able to visit Ama. We've been busy lately. Adjie is also having trouble earning money."

Isal: "Isn't the vehicle steam room deserted?"


Isal asked. Leila looked at Adjie and Adjie shook his head as he looked back at Leila.


Leila: "Vehicle steam yes, uh yes your brother's vehicle steam workplace is empty."

Adjie immediately changed the topic.


Adjie: "Let's talk inside. You haven't eaten yet sal, we'll eat after I show you your room."

Adjie shows Isal his bedroom.

Adjie: "This is your room. It's not big, but it's comfortable to sleep in."

Isal: "thanks bro."

Adjie: "Well, you clean up first. When you're done, go to the kitchen to eat together."

Isal tidied up his things in his room. There was a closet, a bed on the floor, and a fan. The room still had traces of dust. Like an unused room. He cleaned the room and put his things away. Just as he was about to put his clothes and belongings in the closet. Isal found a bag containing sharp items in the closet. The bag was hidden. After finishing cleaning up, Isal goes to the kitchen with the bag. As he about to going to the kitchen, Isal heard Adjie and Leila talking.

Leila: "Are you sure you want to work with Jarot. You know how Jarot behaves. Then you also know Jarot's side business in the internet cafe. What if Isal finds out?."

Adjie: "I'll take care of it. I don't want Isal working with me. It's too dangerous. At least I'm sure Jarot's place will keep Isal away from my real job."

Leila: "I have a bad feeling about this. I don't trust Jarot. He's changed since he had that side business."

Adjie: "What else can I do, should I tell him to become a beggar? No, I don't want that. I have no other choice. Besides, his salary is enough to cover the rent and my mother's treatment. Conditions in the city are not good. The incident a few weeks ago has made the police more careful in guarding every corner of the city. I also still have a debt of honor with Jarot."

Isal arrived at the kitchen, but he couldn't hear the conversation clearly. Isal asked what they were discussing.

Isal: "What are you discussing, it seems important. Then who's Jarot?"

Adjie: "Did you hear our conversation earlier?"

Isal: "Only a little. So what. Is there a problem?"

Leila: "Never mind. The food will get cold. Let's eat it Sal. Here, sister Leila has made you sunny side up eggs. Your favorite, right?"
Isal: "eh, I know."

Leila: "Yes. There's fried chicken, tasi uduk, tofu, and tempeh."

Adjie: "Let's eat together."
