    …………

    Did not feel the sun had been high above the head and the sun began to sting indicating the day was already noon. The clock shows twelve o'clock in the afternoon, it's time for lunch. Zain, who was still busy with the file in his hand, did not realize that Adam was standing in front of him.

    “ sir.” Adam Say.

    “ yes?” said Zain.

    “ it's lunch hour sir.” Adam Say.

    “ oh well come.” Zain immediately stood up and took his coat hanging from his chair. Then they immediately exited the room and went downstairs. Arriving downstairs, they immediately got into the car.

    “ want lunch where, sir?” Ask Adam.

    “ as usual in place of Salsa.” Zain.

    “ well sir.” Adam said they immediately rushed to Salsa's house without them knowing that there was someone watching over them who was none other than Sarah. 

    “ where are they going?” sarah said, and she followed Zain's car. Before long we see a zain car that stops in front of Salsa's house. Sarah stopped her car but was a little away from Salsa's house.

The Zain side.

    “ assalamualaikum.” Zain. Salsa, Annisa and Alan turned to the source of the voice.

    “ waalaikumsalam.” Reply them together.

    “ papa.” Annisa and Alan said then ran towards Zain who immediately squatted to catch the two toddlers and held them.

    “ mas want to eat below or above?” Ask Salsa.

    “ under aja, dek.” Zain.

    “ alright, what would you like to eat?” Ask Salsa again.

    “ mas want white rice side dish fried tilapia, vegetable and tofu. Drink iced oranges, baby.” Reply Zain.

    ‘ okay, if mas Adam want to eat what?” Ask Adam about Salsa.

    “ my soto chicken use rice. Drink iced tea, mba” Reply Adam.

    “ alright, wait a minute.” Salsa said and immediately took the order of Zain and Adam. While Zain and Adam immediately sat down while sitting the two toddlers. Soon Salsa came with a tray containing their lunch and they had lunch together. Lunch is finally over. Zain and Adam soon rise to return to the office and Zain gives Salsa a hundred thousand dollars to pay for their lunch.

    “ this is his money, deck.” Zain.

    “ wait a minute I get you the change.” Salsa said but directly intercepted by Zain.

    “ do not need deck, change it for snacks ica only.” Zain.

    “ but this is mostly mas.” Salsa Vocabulary.

    “ is fine.” Reply Zain.

    “ alright mas, thank you.” Salsa Vocabulary.

    “ yasudah mas and Adam back to office now yes.” Zain.

    “ yes mas.” Reply Salsa.

    “ ica, Alan. Papa go back to the office first. Later in the afternoon Alan papa pick up.” Zain said to Alan and Annisa.

    “ papa here just play with ica and brother.” Annisa's words are holding back Zain's departure.

    “ ica don't be so dear. Papa has to return to the office to work.” Salsa persuades Annisa.

    “ don't want mom. Ica want papa here.” Annisa said whining while hugging Zain's neck.

    “ yasudah papa will stay here.” Zain said giving up.

    “ but mas...” has not finished Salsa talking, Zain directly cut it.

    “ is fine.” Zain.

    “ alright.” Salsa said resigned to Zain's decision.

    “ Adam, you can go back to the office continue your work. I'll call you later if I want to go home.” Zain said to Adam.

    “ well, sir.” Adam replies and he returns to the office according to Zain's orders.

    After Adam leaves, Zain goes up to the second floor with Alan and Annisa. On top of Zain accompanied Annisa coloring the picture book with pleasure while holding Alan who was engrossed in watching children's cartoons, Nussa on youtube through Zain's cellphone. Before long, Salsa climbed up to catch up with them. When arriving at the top, Salsa is served with a beautiful view. How not beautiful if what he saw was two toddlers falling asleep while hugging Zain in the middle of those who also fell asleep.

    It did not feel the afternoon and coincided with the ashar adhan reverberating. Salsa takes ablution water and immediately performs Ashar prayers. After the prayer, Salsa awakens Zain to perform the prayer.

    “ mas, wake.” Salsa spoke rather loudly while shaking Zain's arm. Zain woke up as Salsa shook her body.

    “ hmm, what's the deck?” Zain asked in a typical voice of someone just waking up.

    “ wake up mas, it's time to pray ashar.” Salsa Vocabulary. Zain slowly woke up from his sleep so as not to disturb the two toddlers who were still asleep. Then he immediately took ablution water and performed the ashar prayer. Salsa woke the two toddlers.

    “ Alan, icha. Let's get up, son. He said he wanted to play with papa.” Salsa Vocabulary. Hearing Salsa's words, the two toddlers immediately woke up and rubbed their eyes but were stopped by Salsa.

    “ don't rub his eyes dear, will hurt.” Salsa and the two toddlers said Salsa. After the prayer, Zain approached and sat down before them.

    “ papa, let's play ball.” Alan asked his father to play ball.

    “ alright come.” Zain.

    “ let's wash our face first new to play.” Salsa Vocabulary. Alan and Annisa just nodded their heads and washed their faces to make them fresher. After washing their faces, they immediately go down and play next to the house which has a large yard.  Zain and Alan play ball while Salsa holds Annisa who is fun playing with her dolls at the table under a manga tree. They play with joy and laughter. How not to see Alan kicking the ball with his adorable little foot make anyone who saw him laugh. 

………

    “ who is that woman? Is he the reason Zain won't come back to me? Can't do. No one can have Zain but me. I'll kill you.” Said Sarah who had been waiting for Zain to come out after lunch but Zain did not come out. Sarah saw Adam was the only Adam to leave. Sarah waited until the afternoon until she finally saw Zain out but what made her growl was that Zain came out with a woman and two toddlers. They look like a happy and harmonious family.
