Promotion and Bazaar Preparation
White clouds dominated the blue sky above. The sun’s rays were slowly but surely above our heads. Even people who work outdoors must have felt the heat of the sun directly. Just like the man named Haris who had just come out to do his job which was to obey Gifer’s order to make a promotional slogan and immediately print it out because tomorrow there was a promotion together with Mr. Kevin.
But it seemed like today the goddess of fortuna was not on his side because it turned out that the company’s printing machine was broken and he was forced to leave the tall building to print outside. However, Haris did not merely walk and immediately found where the person who handled the printing service was. Hence, Gifer had earlier handed over his car keys to Haris so that the tall man could get a print shop or what could be called an internet cafe that was located some distance away from the office because even the closest one turned out to be non-existent.
“Huh… it looks like Gifer was right, I have to use his car. If I had known earlier, I wouldn’t have had to go out in the heat to find an internet cafe. It’s getting hotter and hotter as the day goes on. My skin might turn black if I’m exposed to the sun for too long in this daytime.” Haris took out Gifer’s car keys from the pocket of the office coat attached to his body.
“Why didn’t I think of it earlier? What an idiot!” Haris grumbled at himself for not understanding what his best friend meant by bringing his car. It turned out that Gifer knew better that there were no internet cafes or print and even photocopy services near his office. The man immediately walked to the parking lot to take Gifer’s car and left for the internet cafe.
The one in the room was talking about something important with Mr. Kevin. Yes, Mr. Kevin had been meeting Gifer at GF Corp office since the incident when Gifer went to Shinning Doll’s company to ask about Mr. Kevin’s intention to meet him.
“So, the concept of the promotion this time is about the shape of the dolls that will be sold. It seems that children prefer animal-shaped ones. Rather than people characters, they don’t really like them and tend to be afraid of them.”
“That’s right, Mr. Kevin. So, tomorrow we will bring samples and also stock only animal-shaped ones without human-shaped ones. Try it first, if for example it sells well at the bazaar and also promotions, then we will produce more with animal characters only, as long as it is profitable it is not a problem, right?” Gifer asked Mr. Kevin.
“Yes, I agree with your thinking, Mr. Gifer. Then what about the slogans and banners printed by Haris? Are they appropriate?”
“Yes, Mr. Kevin. I have designed it as Mr. Kevin wanted a few days ago via chat.”
“Ah, well. You are indeed competent, Mr. Gifer. Oh yeah, by the way, are you still trying to sew again after being able to see?” Asked Mr. Kevin, happy to see that Gifer has done his job well so far.
“I haven’t thought about it, Mr. Kevin. Maybe it’s because I don’t have any free time, if I did I would definitely try it again because it’s my hobby from the past. But, after being involved in the business world, it has made me busy and forget about my hobby. Plus at that time I was blind, so I couldn’t do anything at all, I couldn’t sew and that also got me down because I couldn’t do my hobby. But no matter, now that I can see I think I’ll try Mr. Kevin’s suggestion. Maybe it can also relieve stress.” Gifer explained while showing his sweet smile which made Mr. Kevin smile too.
“Yes, sometimes hobbies are good for relieving stress and not thinking too much about a problem, Mr. Gifer.” Mr. Kevin’s suggestion tried to keep up with Gifer’s talk. Indeed, the two of them are always in sync when talking about business or even outside of business.

At WR Bank’s office, Belvina and Anggi were working at desks next to each other. They both seemed to be focused on their work because the bank’s customers were very busy this time. But when it’s break time like now which has shown 12. 00, finally they can both take a break and eat at a restaurant close to the office. While they were eating, Belvina started a conversation with Anggi.
“Gi?” Called Belvina.
“Hmm? What’s wrong, Vin?”
“Last night it turned out that Gifer met Ian at his house.” Hearing that made Anggi instantly choke on her food.
“Uhuk, uhuk, uhuk!”
“Drink first.” Seeing her best friend choking made Belvina reflexively grab the mineral water that they happened to order this afternoon and immediately opened the bottle cap. Anggi immediately drank it quickly.

Three gulps went straight into Anggi’s throat, who had experienced choking earlier before replying to Belvina’s conversation.
“Are you serious, Vin? Why didn’t you say anything last night?”
“Seriously, Gi. I couldn’t sleep last night because I was thinking about Gifer’s sincere words when he met me, I thought after we met he didn’t send a message to me, but it turns out he sent a message and said he was going to Ian’s house. It turned out that after going to Ian’s house, he knew everything about the chronology of the accident and even about Nara’s crime, he knew everything, Gi. I’m sorry I can only tell you today because before I couldn’t tell you anything, I just couldn’t sleep until this afternoon I felt sleepy.” Belvina explained while leaning her back on the restaurant chair. Anggi continued eating while Belvina was talking until she swallowed her food, then she spoke back to Belvina.
“Then, was Gifer shocked when he found out everything?” Anggi asked anxiously.
“I don’t know for sure, I want to meet him again today so that it can be clear about what he heard and how he will react to it. Because after all this problem has been going on for a very long time, will Gifer just shut it down? I still don’t understand if it’s not explained directly. You know yourself, I’m a person who takes a long time to load.”
“Yes, you do load for a long time. To the point that if I say A what gets stuck in your brain is probably C.” Anggi quipped with a smile. Not only smiling, Belvina even laughed out loud at the sarcasm from her other friend.
“Hahahahahaha, you’re just weird.”
“You’re weird too, after talking seriously, the one who listens is also serious, eh the ending makes you upset. If you weren’t my best friend, I might have thrown you to the bridge where Gifer wanted to kill himself.” Anggi said while laughing too.
“Hahahah, geez, never mind. Where was the conversation?”
“Up to China.”
“Anggi I’m serious.”
And they continued to laugh until the main topic was not discussed.
