"What time will I pick you up, baby?" abian asked Aruna over the phone.
"Four o'clock in the afternoon" replied Aruna from there.
"OKs. At half-four, I'm on the way."
"Yes. Ah yeah, you're not in the office anymore?"
"No. I'm at home. After school, Elona asked to eat pizza in a normal place. Then he asked me to come with him for a puzzle. And now, Elona is sleeping accompanied by Ziva" Abian explained.
"Oh, so. Yeah, well, then I'll hang up, yeah. I have to get back to work. Don't miss your lunch" Aruna said before the call ended.
Abian clutched his cell phone. He glanced at the watch that was coiled around his wrist. The hour hand is already leading to the number twelve. He had to buy food for lunch.
As he turned to the door, he found Ziva standing there. With the usual smile she throws for him. Abian stood up and approached the woman.
"What are you doing here?"
"I want to take you to lunch together" replied the woman.
"You alone" Abian refused.
"I want to have lunch with you. Elona's sleeping, we can both go out. How's it?"
Abian flinching. He stared at Ziva for a moment.
"No need to get out. I'll order the food through the online app. Lunch after Elona wakes up."
"Ok, no problem."
Ziva left while flicking his long hair that was deliberately in the booth on Abian's face.
The man closed his eyes as soon as he smelled Ziva's hair. Reminds her of the vanilla scent of Ziva's lips at a time when their faces were accidentally close together on the living room couch.
Abian took a deep breath. Return to self-control so that he can withstand his naffsu air.
Fifteen minutes after ordering, the food in Abian's message came. The man paid for it through the app. It just so happened that Elona had also woken up, so they started her lunch.
Abian bought three servings of food. One for Elona, one for Ziva, and the other for himself.
"Mom's coming home the other night, dad?" elona asked as they were at the dinner table.
"No, hon. By evening, my mother was home. You miss your mother?"
Elona nodded. "Yes, dad. Usually, mothers have a holiday. Why do you keep working now?"
"Elona wants mom every day at home, to accompany Elona all day?"
Elona nodded her head. "Of course, dad."
"Then, Elona must be patient, yes. Mother does not take her leave so that the mother can quickly finish work. After that, mom will always be at home," explained Abian forced to lie.
"really? Aren't you lying to me?"
"No, hon. Dad was honest. So now Elona understands, right?"
Elona nodded. "Yes, dad."
Abian ruffled the base of his daughter's hair in a fit of anxiety.
"Elona doesn't have to worry, honey. There will be an aunt who will always accompany you" Ziva said.
"Yes, aunt. Thank ye. Auntie's so good."
"Yes, pretty." Ziva pinched the tip of Elona's chin in a fit of anxiety.
"Elona, at her meal, baby. Later it will be cold," said Abian reminded.
"Okay, dad." replied Elona according to..
They also started their lunch. While scooping and eating, Ziva did not take his eyes off Abian's face at all.
"Want me a bribe?" bargain Ziva until it makes the man cough choking on food.
"Ohuk .. Uhuk .." Ziva gave Abian a glass of water, the man accepted and drank it.
"Dad, why dad?" ask Elona.
Abian shakes. "It's okay."
"Slowly eat her, dad."
"Yes, baby."
Abian again sipped his drink until it ran out to half. He coughed because Ziva said an offer in front of Elona. He was worried that Elona would tell him later to Aruna.
