Daniel Dalang Everything

"Daddy is so good! Loving toys, hugging Arlo, buying what Arlo wants. Bibi knows no, Arlo was invited to the museum lo, very exciting," said Arlo enthusiastically.

"Well, Aunt is jealous." Nola took it seriously. He did not want Arlo's joy to fade.

"Arlo likes it too. But a few days ago Daddy disappeared. He's not here. About why, huh, Bi?" Arlo stared fixedly.

"Maybe because he's busy? Can Arlo know Daddy's a big businessman, must be a lot of work."

"Maybe it is, yes." Arlo nodded in understanding.

"Arlo, time to take a shower! Come here quickly!" alin shouted from the kitchen.

Arlo who heard it got up from the chair.

"Bi, I take a shower, yeah."

"Yes. The perfumed, Arlo! Later so that your female friends are enchanted!" nola shouted to see that the little boy had moved.

"Shut up, Auntie!"

Nola chuckles amusedly. That's funny that kid. Now Nola has a new habit, which is to tempt Arlo to sulk. He thinks it's just anxious.

Alin who had prepared the equipment for the bath immediately headed to the living room. Arlo always asks to bathe himself, so Alin just needs to prepare his needs.

Alin sat in one of the chairs near Nola. It just so happened that his friend visited, but was always busy with various jobs.

"I sometimes wonder why Arlo turned that way" Alin said.

"me too. But seeing how he told me how excited he was to meet Daniel, I think he was already tied up with his father." Nola added.

"What's your decision, Alin? Are you gonna go with Daniel?" ask Nola.

Alin exhaled a rough breath. "I'm confused, but Arlo always tells me about Daniel––how happy he is."

"Certainly. Moreover, he knew that Daniel was his father."

Alin nodded. However, a second later he stared at Nola inside.

"I still doubt. Is Daniel good? Will he not be rude anymore? I'm afraid it'll happen again, Nola." Alin's worried. Because he remembered the incident where someone almost harmed him because he was with Daniel.

"If so, I don't know for sure. But I think because of Arlo, Daniel must have changed" replied Nola.

"More than you know my father, he insisted that I marry Daniel. My family's business is almost bankrupt, La." Alin was met by his father a few days ago and asked for help to save the family company.

"Alin, I don't know what's best and what's worst for you. But I just want to say that Daniel actually did it secretly" said Nola.

"meaning?" Alin raised his eyebrows.

"You remember, when I was in office? It turned out that after I traced it, there was Daniel's interference behind it," Nola replied making Alin frown.

"How can you?"

"I didn't know at first, I also thought with my current performance, to step up seems to take a long time. It just so happened that day Daniel went to my office, and he said the new investor did. When I asked my boss, it turned out that the condition of Daniel's company to cooperate with my office was that I should be promoted to such a position."

Alin listened carefully. He watched his best friend begin to tell him everything.

"I'm shocked, but after thinking this must be something to do with you. If not, what is it? Daniel likes me? It's impossible." Nola.

"So the point is, he wants to get close to you." Nola drew the conclusion.

"Say, do you know who delivers food every afternoon to the house? Do you also know who sent the household needs as well?" ask Nola streak.

Alin was silent. His memory goes back to a time where everything happened all of a sudden. When Alin was difficult, someone suddenly helped him. When Alin came home last night, suddenly there was a taxi that picked him up.

Alin looked directly at Nola inside. Is it really that guy who did everything? Is Daniel the one who is involved in all his activities now?

"But why do we have to be quiet?" Alin's confused.

"Mmm ... perhaps because of fear of rejection? You're the one who's acting tough yourself. So maybe he'll find another way. Keep your eyes on you, without showing any face" replied Nola.

Alin. Daniel silently watched her, while he stretched all the distance. Alin was just vigilant, maybe the guy was just playing around. However, if thought based on that evidence, Alin became worried.

Nola, who was observing her best friend, switched when her phone rang. Soon he picked up a call from his co-worker.

"Alin, I have to go back to the office. There was a sudden job. You're okay, right?"

"Go away. I can do it myself, really. Work is more important" Alin replied.

"Alright then, I'll go first. Daa."

Alin drove Nola to the front door, then she sat back in the chair. To think if it was true what Nola said earlier. If true, Alin really doesn't understand anymore.

"Well, Mom, where's Auntie?" asked Arlo who had come out of the bathroom, but was still wearing a towel on his body.

"Go home, there was business. Are you done?" Alin's approaching Arlo.

"It has. No scent?" Arlo spread his hand. Alin sniffed the smell, then nodded.

"Scented."

Alin observes Arlo inside. Suddenly an idea came to his mind.

"Would you meet Daddy?" tawar Alin's.

"You!"

"Jude, change clothes first. Keep when you see Daddy." Alin holds Arlo's hand towards the room.

"Yey, meet Daddy!"

"This is the result." Vano handed me some evidence.

"Based on a search, Raka from LeeDesign company turned out to be a former from Miss Alin. They broke up because Raka was having an affair with her half-sister––ie Angela."

Daniel observes some of the photographs provided by Vano. It is only fitting that if the man understands about Alin, his relationship with Alin is quite long. She's engaged, and soon to be married. However, because of the incident, Alin hated him so much.

"Miss Alin's mother had died in a car accident, while her father remarried the widow of his first child. Because of one mistake, Miss Alin was sent abroad and when she returned she heard the news of the affair."

"It's only fitting that he looked different, because this was what he looked like" Daniel said. I remember what happened at the restaurant at the time.

"It must be hurt to be cheated on, so want revenge. Maybe because of that as well, Miss Alin was suddenly strange," Vano replied.

"I guess because it's sincere" murmured Daniel.

"What Master?" Vano didn't hear it. It's just a little vague.

"No." Daniel shakes. He didn't want Vano to hear it.

In between the speakers, suddenly there was the sound of the door being knocked from outside. After being told to enter, one of the employees who knocked earlier finally entered.

Neither Vano nor Daniel knew why the employee looked exhausted or frightened. The feeling was fine.

"Sir Daniel, there's a commotion downstairs!"
