The rays of the morning sun fell onto Dareen's face. His eyelashes trembled before picking up a pair of empty emerald stones. Grazing for a moment, the pair of green beads had the light back after being completely unconscious.
Glancing at the table clock, Dareen found the clock showing at 6 am. There is a routine to do in the morning. While stretching his body, Dareen lowered his legs to wear a pair of soft, hairy house slippers. He got up and stepped into the bathroom for a 20-minute shower, and came out in a slightly oversized plain white shirt and black jeans.
"Azra, wake up."
The next activity is to wake Azraell, to take a breakfast bath and leave for the company at 7 more. Dareen's movements awakened Azraell to normal. Just patting Azraell's arm gently hugging the bolster, made the man annoyed and forcibly opened his eyes.
He asked in a hoarse voice typical of people waking up. "What time is it?"
"Hour 6 over 20 minutes. Take a shower, I've prepared your bath." Dareen then stepped out leaving Azraell who had taken his life just before getting up and with his beautiful pillow face stepped into the bathroom.
...***...
Dareen approached Aileen's bed. In the light blue room, Aileen sleeps comfortably in her blanket. Smiling slightly, Dareen landed a kiss on Aileen's face to make the child wake up.
"Wake up baby, mama know you've woken~" said Dareen.
Aileen was initially still calm. Before her eyelashes twitched and published dimples on both cheeks to smile brightly. Aileen got up to sit up and grabbed Dareen by the neck to hug.
He said hello to Dareen,"Mama~"
"Morning. Mama's son kept having breakfast, huh," persuaded Dareen to make Aileen nod and run towards the bathroom after landing a light kiss on Dareen's cheek as fast as lightning.
"That boy," murmured Dareen.
Smiling faintly, Dareen stood up and walked into the kitchen to make breakfast. Seeing the ingredients in the refrigerator, Dareen decided to make chicken stir-fry to be enjoyed with the porridge that was brought by Veryana yesterday night.
He washed the chicken and dried it. Taking a cutting board and a knife, Dareen cut a dice-shaped chicken breast and cut some other additives such as sausages, meatballs and shrimp. For paprika, onion and garlic Dareen blend it until smooth and saute it with butter. Add a little if the mushrooms, salt and some additional powder seasoning to flavor and put the chicken and others into it to saute for a while until it is quite cooked.
Feeling enough, Dareen put it on a plate and arranged it on a table and switched to heating the porridge using a microwave. A few minutes later the porridge was warm and neatly arranged on the dining table.
"Mama, Aileen's done bathing." Aileen's words appeared in a long-sleeved green shirt and black shorts.
Aileen looked around her at a glance and turned to look at Dareen. "Papa Azra where is ma?"
Azraell's voice appeared behind him, "Papa's here."
"Father Azra!" exclaim Aileen happy.
"What's wrong?" azrael asked as he sat himself on the chair and looked at Aileen beside him.
"Papa Azra when is there a holiday?" ask Aileen.
Azraell muttered in a tone asking, "Hm?"
Aileen slightly lowered her head and muttered, "Tomorrow at Aileen's school there is a school birthday celebration. And parents will come to school. Because now that Azra's papa is Aileen's father, will Azra's papa come?"
Azraell fell silent and glanced at Dareen. Showing a look, that he could not accompany her. Azraell remembered that his work was many, not to mention. Tomorrow he must accompany Eri and do routine health tests. So Dareen crouched down beside Aileen and coaxed her gently.
"Aileen, tomorrow papa Azra is busy and a lot of work. Good boy can't interfere with papa Azra's work huh? Tomorrow with my mom, okay?" persuade Dareen to make Aileen slightly bow before nodding with a smile.
"Mm!" mumbling consented.
"Other times, if papa isn't busy. Aileen wants to garden animals together?" tanya Azraell made Aileen's face bright again in a matter of seconds.
The 6-year-old nodded his head enthusiastically, and did not forget to show off his row of white milk teeth and neat.
...***...
The clang of the elevator rang out, Dareen wrapped in a long-sleeved black shirt lined with a dark blue coat combined with dark blue jeans and 5-centimeter-high brown hells covered. The long mane is left unadorned without any decoration. Dareen's face is naturally beautiful, covered only with a thin powder and pink lipsbam to make his face not look pale. However, the beauty of Dareen's figure was completely real.
"Reen!
The call made Dareen turn his head and find a woman unraveling a dark brown shoulder with a knitted long-sleeved shirt lined with a soft red coat. Her subordinate, the woman was wearing a faint half-thigh color jeans skirt. That woman has a pretty face.
Dareen let the woman embrace his arm, "Have you said?"
Seyra Anyeliee Zaldion is Dareen's best friend since they were both in high school. Both of them entered the same college and even worked in the same building. Anye call, is a woman who is active, cheerful, open and can not survive in silence. That is, she is a chatty woman and a person who likes to gossip.
It was very different from Dareen who was quiet, as calm as the lake water and full of secrets. But that is what makes them both friends. Because they care about each other and that's the key. Although Dareen becomes a support in silence when Anye is in trouble, Anye can figure it out. And he appreciated it because the way Dareen was different.
Anye nodded, "It's dong~ Today Jasseline and Lian are leaving. By the way, lunch today let's go to a newly opened restaurant nearby. He said the cooking there was really good."
"You're gonna buy me?" tanya Dareen made Anye look at him with a pinched look.
"How can subordinates treat their boss. Boss~ Treat me?" said Anye with a bead that sparkled with hope looking at Dareen.
Unable to say no, Dareen smiled amusedly and nodded her head, "Hm."
"Reen! I love you!" pekik Anye happy.
"I'll be in my department. Welcome to work, Reen~"
Anye waved her hand and took the elevator that accommodated the same few people to go up to the 3rd floor, heading for their respective workspaces.
Dareen saw the message that came to her phone.
Navada Zima's

Stepping into the elevator, Dareen pressed the top floor button and waited for a while for it to reach the 10th floor. When he had arrived, the deserted passageway was the first to greet him.
The 10th floor is reserved for CEOs and some need permission to be on this floor. He put his slender foot to the very end of the door and opened it. Featuring a monotonous room in black and white with one work desk and a comfortable revolving bench, a full bookcase and a sofa as well as a table for chatting. Across the table was precisely walled near the corner door, a large television that almost filled the wall was attached. To display curves and data also television broadcasts from various channels.
Dareen sat himself in an oversized chair after putting his coat on the back of the chair and calmly checking the files on the table. Other than the people he trusted and was close to, no one knew, that in fact Dareen, was the owner of this company operating from behind the scenes.
