" when they overshadow the best hackers in Indonesia who compete with the hackers of the world."

" we need them. our hackers are overwhelmed with hack attacks that persist.even some data bases succeed in breaking. just wait for the reward of what they ask to destroy our data base." lamented om Damian.

indeed, since Mumtaz and the chumbers broke away to help keep the company secret from hackers, Hartadraja corp formed a special team handling hacking against the company, but until now the team was less effective.

" i've tried all the lobbying, but it still hasn't worked out yet, I don't know what changed their minds" Damar said

" just try to ask Akbar to talk to them. it seems they listen to Akbar.remember, their help against Hartadraja corp at the request of Akbar. sak." suggested Hito.

" i kept talking to Akbar. He was busy holding two branch children."

" papa did not think Akbar played an important role in saving Hartadraja" said Aznan's grandfather.

" Mar, the Akbar is too quiet. his face is also too flat. dozens of times more than you. Papa can not read his mind." lamented Aznan's grandfather.

" all bring the Zahra." papa Aznan went out of Hito's room

" h..." Hito refused

" that's your mom's word if you want to refuse to say it yourself" said papa Aznan as he walked to the door.

there were three of them in the room.

" are you really dating Zahra?" curious brother Damar.

Hito is silent, not knowing what to answer.he himself confuses their current status.

" i stopped by my mom's house. Lo too. Yan rather than at home." said Damar who got a nod from Damian, while Hito sniffed cynically towards them

" yes, what's the name if it's not a traitor together when it's difficult, thrown away when successful." Ziva annoyed.

" Zahra himself is self-defeating yes.I didn't fire him." Erwin doesn't take it

" after Lo cut her salary because of the grandmother's mane drop by. watch out if the girl is of low quality." threatened Zahira.

" in the past when the cafe' wanted to bankrupt Zahra still survive working there, and bring customers by inviting his tutoring friends.plus instead of Zahra ya who introduced him with Mumtaz and his friends." sindir Zahira's.

" now the cafe' has been successful he kicked Zahra as well as udel him. just because the ugly chick.cuih!" hot heart Ziva.

" Hito..What do you mean you called me here? you said you wanted to meet me, but why is there a woman?" cecar Sivia doesn't like to point at Zahra.

" di ngegas. sit first Via." bargained Heru.

" no. Hito let's just go from here to somewhere else." Sivia's confident.
