My lovely PA (personal assistant)

lover

At the cafe not far from the inn Alya enjoyed his dinner. Wahyu Steak with mushroom sauce, complete vegetable stir-fry and mashed potato. When wanting to drink the infusion of refreshing water, Alya's phone rang. Someone called.

"Hello Theo, I just had dinner. I'm sorry I wasn't waiting for you, I was so hungry." Alya shouldn't be selfish towards Theo.

"No problem, I'm here. " So focused on enjoying food, Alya did not realize that Theo was already in the cafe.

"You want me to order? " Lawar Alya, he just finished enjoying the last piece of premium meat.

"Let me just." Sebleum went to Theo's cashier to wipe the corner of Alya's lips, where there was the rest of the mushroom sauce to complement the steak.

"Ah, thanks. " Said Alya clumsy, Theo even peeked at his thumb then passed.

And that romantic scene in someone's portrait, just like five years ago. Theo and Alya's closeness felt more real, making someone not accept it.

The night is getting late, Theo invites Alya directly back to the inn. They stopped at each other's door.

"This is for you Al. " Giving Alya a paperbag, Theo left just to find the item.

"Dream catchers? " Alya looked down at the contents inside.

"I heard that if you hang it, it'll sift through the nightmares. I hope you stop experiencing it. " Theo rubbed Alya's hair before entering her room.

"Why are you always so good to me Theo, I can't ignore you any more." Lirih Alya's. The feeling that should develop into love or affection, Alya even pity Theo.

Alya repeatedly tried to sleep, his eyes instead asked to be awake. It was tilted to the right, to the left, sleeping on his back even on his stomach he had tried. Alya has trouble getting quality sleep. If midnight nightmare strikes her, until morning Alya will not be able to sleep back.

Even if he could easily fall asleep, he would stay up for a long time like now.

"Baby, I'm sorry mommy." Returning to recall the loss he had experienced, Alya sobbed slowly. The pain seemed to increase when Christian left leaving with hatred.

Gradually, Alya can fall asleep without the help of drugs that he always consumed according to the doctor's prescription.

In the morning, guests gather for breakfast. Alya was already refreshed with her gothic appearance. Cargo pants with oversize krop shirts, do not forget to wear Caterpillar shoes. All black, just his lips he polishes with red tomatoes.

"Good morning everyone, did you have a good sleep? " The innkeeper welcomes guests who come one by one to the dining table.

"Ah Miss Shamare, it looks like you had a nightmare last night. Your voice is a little heard in my room." Neighbor Alya who was next to him greeted with a compliment.

"I'm sorry, sir, I hope you can understand. " Alya slightly lowered her head unpleasantly. The man just nodded slowly, he was sure Alya had sleep problems.

"So it didn't work? " Bisik Theo, they sit side by side waiting for their turn to get a plate.

"A little help, maybe I should get used to it. " Alya smiled bitterly lamenting her fate.

"Maybe it'll heal when it comes." Theo patted Alya's shoulder gently.

That day before attending the awards ceremony, Alya has a schedule of visits to one of the famous social media. Theo plans to meet his brother at work.

Alya did not know the address he was going to take him to the place he used to go. Some years it seems that everything has changed. In addition to the art building there is also a rented office center.

"Oh God, what should I do?" He muttered, Alya just got out of the taxi he ordered through an online application.

Alya walked over hesitantly, she was at a loss to ask who. Damn someone he knew just got out of his car.

"Miss Alya, it's been a long time. " His greeting sounded relaxed and warm, yet Alya could only faintly smile in response.

"How are you, Mr Daniel? " Tanya mince words.

"I'm good, but my friend isn't." Daniel replied ambiguously, making Alya frown smooth.

"Do you have a job? " Next Daniel. Alya nodded briefly in response.

"I have to see the leader of the Link, I don't know which room is next door." No, Alya just hates one person. Daniel was not the part Alya wanted to avoid.

"Then let me deliver, I happen to have to meet someone there too." Take Daniel, he walks first to lead Alya.

They headed for the new building next to the art building. Daniel lets Alya get into the elevator to go up to the third floor. Where is the Link company that invited Alya bernaung.

There was no time to chat as the elevator had already arrived on the floor they were heading to.

"Welcome Miss Shamare." Greet the leader of The Link, a handsome businessman who is the same age as Daniel and Christian.

"Thank you, Mr. Malvin." Alya replied to Malvin's hand.

"Is there anything holding you back, Niel? " Because Daniel was still standing among them, Malvin was forced to cast him out subtly.

"That,, "Daniel's words hang, making Alya feel nervous for no reason.

"He came to pick me up." A bass voice rang out, a man whose hair was quite long unlike his usual one walked out of Malvin's study.

Deg, man,

Deg, uh,,

Alya's heart was beating faster than usual. He did not dare to raise his head, avoiding to meet the familiar owner of the voice.

"Ah you're Chris, why do you feel at home bothering me. I'm busy welcoming my special guests, hurry up and leave." Malvin sounded faint and grumbled to send his two friends out.

"Oho, so you got Malv's new toy? I guess, you got a pretty decent prey." Christian's whispers scoff at Alya's presence.

"Shut the fak up Chris, he's my colleague in business. Forgive my friend Miss Shamare's sassy mouth, she does need a lot of medicine. He's gone crazy for somebody."

"No problem, can we start now, sir? You seem to be busy. So I don't want to waste your time." As soon as possible Alya wants to disappear from the presence of Christian and Daniel.

"Let's go ahead, let's go to my room." Akhrinya Malvin invites Alya to leave them. Alya could breathe a sigh of relief for a moment. The meeting certainly could not be avoided considering Alya did come to Christian's place.

"Chris, your sister's waiting at the office." Daniel's info, forcing Christian to return to the hotel. He still wants to stay there.

"We're leaving." Christian's orders. Christian keeps his men watching Alya without Daniel's knowledge. He did not want Daniel to know that he was still watching Alya.

On the way to the office, Daniel catches Christian's more silent anxiety after meeting Alya.

True, love and hate are so thin that Christian cannot tell the difference. All this time he shut the door of his heart to Alya. Unfortunately Christian's defense must collapse when fate reunites the two.

"Niel, I haven't played around in a long time." Suddenly Christian makes a sound, unfortunately it is a threat to the next victim.

"I'll find her for you, how many women do you want? " Groaning at Christian through the glass Daniel saw his eyes in a fog of restrained desire.

"No need, I've got my target." Christian replied as casually as possible. Daniel must not know his evil intentions or he will forbid them.

"Hi brother, "Theo embraced Christian as a form of longing as long as they did not meet. Christian didn't want to return the hug, he just cleared his throat to welcome Theo.

"You been here a long time? " Tanya Christian makes small talk. They were sitting in the lounge not far from the hotel lobby. Daniel ordered them a drink.

"For a long time, I thought you were very busy so I'd understand." Theo responded casually.

"You came to London by yourself? " Surely Christian already knew, he had deliberately lured Theo.

"In addition to the work visit, I will be on vacation with my lover. I intend to introduce you tonight." Theo's reply ignited a long-extinguished fire in Christian's heart. He even clenched both his hands.

"You still have that feeling Christian." Inner Theo smiled obliquely looking at her brother's reaction.

"really? I'm very curious to know about it soon." Christian did not want to sound defeated by Theo.

"Sure." Theo muttered.

The three of them enjoyed coffee together while talking about business. Exchange ideas to advance the family company.

Alya himself just finished meeting with Malvin. He plans to work with his company. Before leaving, Alya wanted to tour the art building that he had not visited for a long time.

Take a walk down every corner filled with many works of accomplished children. The building is increasingly crowded, many are interested to come just enjoy food and drinks at the cafe, read books, or socialite mothers who deliberately come to enjoy the masterpieces of famous painters.

"Look, she's the woman in the painting."

"The real thing is more beautiful. "

"That's lucky for him, "

"The gallery leader certainly adored him a lot."

Alya heard them talking about her. He was confused as to what exactly was going on. Encouraged by curiosity, Alya climbed to the top where the gallery was located.

Climbing the stairs to the top floor, Alya was immediately flabbergasted to see his painting plastered for real. Didn't Christian want Alya's face to be enjoyed by the crowd?

"Dialang Christian. He sold my face." Not Accept, Alya cussed Christian's behavior. I don't know when he did that. Maybe his hatred for Alya makes Christian no longer care about Alya's self-esteem.

Leaving the building Alya intends to return to the inn. But how surprised when Theo was already waiting in front.

"Theo, "Surely Theo will misunderstand because Alya is in Christian's place.

"Malvin told me you stopped by inside, let's go to the boutique to pick clothes." Theo's hand stretched out asking Alya to hold it.

"All right." This time Alya ventured back into Theo's grasp. Since deciding to go together, Alya starts to open her heart to Theo.

"So you're friends with Mr Malvin?" Alya asked as they were already sitting in the car. Theo runs the engine leaving the OCompany complex.

"Friends of friends." Answer Theo stroked the tip of Alya's head. The attention of the man next to her made Alya always misbehaving. He was afraid of disappointing Theo even more.

"Theo, thank you." Alya said suddenly.

"For? " Theo frowned both of his eyebrows confused.

"Because you've always been there for me, giving me strength all along. And also I'm sorry I kept you waiting too long." Alya lowered her head, squeezing both her hands together.

"Alya, "Call Theo, he's holding Alya's hand. Glanced briefly to the side before returning to focus forward. "I love you, but I won't force you. Let's just go slowly, okay? " It was always patient, and it amazed Alya at Theo. Alya nodded while smiling knots.

The car stopped in front of a famous boutique in the city center. Theo invites Alya to prepare to come to the award show in a moment.
