From that day forward, Pandu left the baby to Yuri more often. Through the new cell phone that Pandu bought for Yuri, the two often contact each other and of course without Tamara's knowledge. Pandu and Yuri did agree to keep it a secret to Tamara, if Chia had not been signed in day care, but guarded by Yuri in her rented house. Pandu feels much calmer letting his daughter be with Yuri than leaving her in daycare.
Every day, Pandu also gives allotments of shopping money to Yuri. That is because Yuri is the one who every day makes ASI companion food for Chia, even cooking for Pandu.
If at his home Pandu very rarely can enjoy the cuisine made by his wife, precisely in the place of Yuri, he can get everything. It even felt much more special, as Yuri served her as well with great care.

That morning, the atmosphere in the Pandu house as usual was always hectic.
The two of them are always having trouble taking care of the house and preparing all the necessities for Chia to take to day care, especially Tamara.
"Because last night I had to stay up, I woke up late. Today I must be late again to the office." Tamara. That day he and Pandu woke up late, because last night Chia could not sleep and was fussy to be invited to play.
With her hair still clamped down and bangs still using hair rolls, Tamara looks busy packing all the supplies for Chia into a bag. Although he was already wearing full work clothes, but he had not had time to polish his face with makeup or comb his hair.
Pandu who was feeding his daughter baby porridge, only smiled faintly at the behavior of his wife. Tamara is always confused to take care of all the housework and that is because of her own carelessness, which is not good at dividing her time and is more concerned with her personal affairs compared to taking care of household chores.
Finished with all the homework, Tamara hurriedly dressed up lightly and combed her hair neatly.
"Duuhh .. My face looks dull because of these panda eyes!" Tamara grumbled and was very disappointed to see her appearance in the mirror reflection. Due to lack of sleep, his face looks not bright and the black circumference under his eyes is also clearly visible.
After she finished preparing herself, Tamara rushed to the living room and stood there pacing back and forth.
"It's like this. Why hasn't the cab arrived yet?" Many times Tamara glanced at her watch as well as her phone screen. The online taxi he ordered to drive him to the office has not arrived and all that makes him very nervous. He knew that he would be late again at the office.
"Today I'm really fucking shit! Nothing is all right!" tamara was upset, but she did not know who to spill her anger on.
Tamara snorted even more annoyed when she saw Pandu cuek, as if she did not care about all the things that made her very drunk that morning. Although the two of them had indeed split the homework for each of them to do, but that morning Tamara felt more hassles than usual day.
"Mas, next month I'm going to buy a new car. I want to have my own vehicle. I'm tired of having to wait for a taxi like this every day!" With both hands crossed, Tamara stared resentfully at her husband. As long as Chia has to be tithed in daycare, Pandu is never able to take her to the office and the car must also be used Pandu, because it must take Chia with him.
"Rather than having to buy a car again, better save the money for other purposes, dear." Pandu disagrees with his wife's wishes.
"In all things, you never want to support me, Mom." Tamara pinched her lips. "Even if you don't agree, next month I'm going to buy a new car. I also bought my own money. I don't need any consideration from you!" hardik Tamara. He felt even more annoyed because Pandu never agreed to every decision.
With a sullen face, Tamara stepped out from inside her house, because the taxi she booked had also come to pick up.
Pandu just kept quiet and sighed deeply. The more days, Tamara the harder it is to manage. She herself increasingly felt disrespected, as Tamara always acted as she pleased. Disputes between them also occur almost every day.
.
In a hurry, Tamara got off the taxi. Ten minutes had passed by nine, and that meant he was already late for the office.
"Hopefully Mr. Tim doesn't see me coming late again." Tamara muttered to herself as she widened her steps into her study.
"Tam, you're called to the boss' room!"
Tamara jumped in shock. Not yet had he entered his room, Lisa had blocked his steps and said that his boss was looking for him.
"Huh ... what? This half Mr Tim is looking for me?" Tamara rounded her eyes, staring in disbelief at Lisa.
"Yes! I see Mr. Tim is not in the mood, it looks like he is upset. Buruan gih, you meet him. Maybe there's something important that she wants to discuss," said Lisa also looks anxious.
Unsettled, Tamara placed her bag on the table. To be honest, he was afraid to meet his boss. For a few days he always came to the office late, he was afraid because that's why his boss would be angry with him. In addition, he also realized that the marketing team had indeed decreased work performance. As a team leader, he feels responsible for all the performance of his team that over the past month has not managed to achieve the target as budgeted by the company.
After trying to calm all her tension, Tamara grabbed the agenda book from her desk and walked towards the CEO's room.
Geck! Geck! Geck!
The door to the CEO's office was slow and the heart was pounding.
"Come, Tamara!"
The typical voice of a Caucasian man speaking in Indonesian sounded loud from inside the room.
"You call me, Boss?" Tamara bowed her back in front of the white, blond man with a pointed nose and blue eyes.
"Yes! Have a seat, Tamara!" Bule expatriate who is already very fluent in Indonesian language it allows him to sit down.
"Do you know why I called you this morning?" The Bule stared intently at Tamara.
"Sorry, Boss. I don't know." Tamara lowered her face. He did not dare to look at the man who had been more than five years into his superior. The American man, whose full name is Timothy Thimbleweed, is indeed a famous killer. When he was angry, he often cursed with harsh words. In fact, the entire zoo can also be called.
"Do you know, what time is it now, Tamara?" Tim pointed at his watch and smiled sinisterly.
"It's been almost half a decade, Boss," Tamara said with trembling hands and cold sweat. He understood that his boss knew that he had been arriving at the office too late.
"What happened to you?" Tim shook his head while raising his hand.
"Sorry, Mr. Tim. Every morning I fuss over taking care of my baby."
"I don't care! It's your personal business and I hope all that doesn't interfere with work!" peekik Tim looks angry.
"Okay, Mr. Tim. I promise from tomorrow I won't come late again." Tamara squeezed out the pen she had in her grasp. He was so afraid because of his mistake, Tim would no longer trust him as his best subordinate.
Tim just grunted softly at the promise Tamara had made.
"Last month, we don't achieve the target. There is no tender project that you and your team can get! How come it can be like this?" annoyed.
"I'm sorry, Boss. We have tried our best. But, the truth is we're a lot outclassed by new competitors." Tamara was trying to find a reason to defend herself.
"OK! For now, I will not raise the issue. But next month, you can't repeat the same mistake! If you guys don't achieve the target anymore, then I won't pay you a bonus!" Tim emphasized his sentence again.
"Yes, for sure, sir!" Tamara can only.
"Great, if I don't get a bonus next month, I won't be able to buy a new car as I see fit." Tamara. During this time most of the salary (salary) he received, was a bonus from the company while his basic salary only followed the minimum wage that applies according to labor law. If the right to the bonus is not paid, of course, the income is not much.
"Now, I want you to do me a favorite!" Tim looked at Tamara with meaningful eyes.
"Whatever I'll do as best I can, Mr. Tim." Again Tamara could only nod obediently.
"Goody!" The team gave her thumbs up and looked at Tamara more intensely. Of course, those sharp eyes that seemed to want to swallow her alive, looked very scary to Tamara.
