Love Aliya

Chapter 6

Leonard dropped his body on the bed, staring up at the ceiling of his room with a heavy sigh.

Not long after, Leonard felt sleepy until he finally fell asleep.

And now that the sun was back up, Leonard immediately rose from the top of the bed into the bathroom. After only 15 minutes, Leonard came out with his athletic body. Anyone who will see it will be fascinated.

Then he put on his clothes without having to waste time just to choose clothes that fit on his body. Because whatever clothes Leonard was wearing, he would look perfect.

In that suit he came out of the room, at the dining table all the family members were waiting for him there. "Good morning uncle" Naila Sandro's eldest daughter told him.

With a fluffy smile on Leonard's face, "Good morning uncle's nephew" she replied.

Then Reza continued, "Good morning uncle, today Reza drinks a lot of milk from Naila. Didn't uncle himself say that Reza had to drink a lot of milk? And now I've drunk it".

"really?".

"Mmmm, uncle look at this" Reza drank the milk in his glass until not a drop was left. "Aarrkkhhh, depleted uncle heheheh".

They all laughed happily.

"Akh, if it's like that I can also uncle. Uncle believes no?".

"Mmmmm, uncle believes" Leonard replied nodding.

"If so, try to drink it all" said Reza defiantly. "I'm sure you won't be able to drink it to the end".

"OK if you don't believe. Look at this well, I'll drink it just like you".

Not accepting being challenged by Reza, Naila immediately drank her milk until it ran out the same as Reza did.

"Yeeee... You see this? I spent it hahahaha.. Uncle look, I finished my milk. So uncle should praise me too".

"Haha... Well, Naila's great, just like Reza".

"Yeeee... Thank you uncle, I love uncle".

"I love my uncle too" Reza said.

"Yes, uncle loves you both too. Let's get it spent".

"Ready uncle".

Yeah, that's the routine every morning in Herbowo's extended family. Every day the two boys were always looking for attention to the uncle, but behind it all the family was very happy, without them Leonard very rarely wanted to be spoken to by them.

But it's been since Leonard lost his former fiancee in the United States. He chose to go with another man compared to himself, until one day Leonard knew that his beloved woman was married, Leonard chose to leave the country and live in Indonesia for approximately 3 years. And until now, not a single bit of Leonard was able to forget it and that is also what makes Leonard prefer a closed life.

"Leo" call Vicky.

"Yes pa. What's up?" Leonard.

"Tonight, papa's business partner's friend took the night grave together at his house. We have a family invited, so I hope you can attend".

Leonard fell silent, seeing his phone get a notification from his secretary. "Sorry, I can't. There's so much work to do".

"Hey bro, it's okay at all you leave the company. This is an important dinner for our family. Come on, don't be too busy with work always" Sandro said patting Leonard on the shoulder.

"It can't be. Then I go first" Leonard stood up, and he left them.

Then Zakira smiled with her head, looking at the back of her eldest son who had moved away from them.

"Yes ma papa tau. But when will he be like this? It's been over 3 years since he hasn't been able to forget that woman. Plus Leonard's age is growing and now he's 30 years old".

"Yes the pa. But mama also pity to see our son who lives like this continue. So what should we do now? For the dinner alone he was reluctant to come along. Papa see for yourself what kind of stubbornness?".

The three people thought hard, but none of them got the idea. "Here you go, I have to go to the office too. Let's just think about it later, let me persuade Leonard who knows he's changed his mind".

"Yes dear. Go, you be careful on the road".

"Yes ma, I'm leaving".

"mmm".

And now the couple is still at the dinner table. They were still cool to think about how they took Leonard to the dinner at Mr. Zelof's residence until Zakira finally got the idea. But the idea could not be accepted by Vicky because it was too easy for Leonard to guess that it was their wits.

"Keep how dong pa?".

"Wait for ma, papa thought first".

.

When Leonard arrived at the company, he immediately entered the elevator to the room without caring about those who were inviting him to chat.

"What's wrong with Mr Leonard?" ask one of those clients.

"don't know. Please forgive us, it looks like Mr. Leonard couldn't be bothered this morning. Please be patient, I'll see him".

He then left them, but did not immediately meet Leonard because he knew his boss was not okay. And now Sandro sees some of you are still waiting in the special guest room from outside on the lower floor.

They smiled, "Good morning, Mr. Sandro".

"Yes, good morning. Please sit".

"Thank you sir".

"Then, what happened to you yesterday?" sandro asked as he told the receptionist to make tea for them.

"Look at you" replied one of them. "A long time before this we had made an appointment with Mr. Leonard regarding investment in our company. But until now we have not received exact confirmation from him so we are here sir".

"Oh so" nodded Leonard understood. "Then you guys wait here for a second, I'll see him".

They smiled happily, "Thank you, sir, thank you so much".

Sandro then left them, he went straight to the floor of Leonard's room on the top floor. And upon Sandro's arrival, he sees Leonard's new assistant precision coming out from within.

"Bagas" call Leonard.

Bagas who felt his name on the call, he immediately glanced towards the source of the voice that the person I just called him was Sandro.

"Yes sir, how can I help you?".

"Leo's inside?".

"Yes, sir, it's inside".

"Thank you".
