"Go to sleep" said Gio rubbing gently on Ara's head.
"You go home carefully", said Ara.
After telling a lot of stories at the park, Gio decided to take Ara home. Both are now in the house of Ara. When she was about to go home, Ara held her back.
"Why?", asked Gio gently making Ara look down embarrassed and shook her head slowly.
"Be careful, let me know that you're home" Ara said, making Gio nod.
"I came home", said Gio and then turned to leave Ara's house.
"Gioooo",
Not ten steps before Gio was about to leave Ara's house, the screams from the girl made her steps again stop and turn the body facing Ara who was now running towards him.
Ara smashed into Gio's strapping body and hugged him tightly. Gio was a little confused by Ara's behavior but did not bother to smile thinly.
"Why the hell ?" tanya Gio gently rubbed Ara's hair.
"Still missing", replied Ara slowly tightening her embrace.
"It's true that we are home" chirped Gio softly. Ara smiled at Gio's words and let go of his embrace.
"Here you go home" said Ara.
"Yes, you have also entered" said Gio directly to Ara. The girl walked towards the main door of her house and closed the door. After making sure Ara had entered the house, Gio turned to his motorbike parked in front of the gate of Ara's house.
When he was about to wear his helmet, Gio's gaze turned to the figure of a man who had the exact same height as him standing across from him with a sharp look at him.
"Ngapain?", asked Gio casually.
"Have you returned?", asked Gio again.
Ken gasped at Gio's question, so Gio knew he had met Gea, moreover the man's tone was so relaxed with a friendly look. Unlike him who looked at the man in front of him sharply.
Because that's the truth. Gio has never hated Ken or considered him an enemy since long ago until now Gio still considers Ken a friend even though he knows very well Ken already hates him so much.
"Udah not yet, if not already I have picked up first" said Gio want to put on his full face helmet.
"Udah", said Ken Ketus.
"Oh yes, go home. Ara needs to rest, don't be disturbed" said Gio, who was actually wearing his helmet and riding on his big bike.
"Gue already said lo.", Ken's words stopped when suddenly Gio interrupted.
"Lo knows more than how I am if my patience has run out" chirped Gio making Ken look at him with a frown.
"Don't bother me" he said again before completely leaving Ken still in his place.

This afternoon Ara was going to work. Because his lecture schedule is no longer there, his business in the campus was not there to make him free. Just waiting a few more days for the whiskey.
"Sir, Ara go first yes", said Ara to Muti who was sitting on the sofa while watching television.
"Work nak?", asked Muti who was called Ara.
"This is the last day of Ara ngajar Gea, tomorrow it can enter the company" replied Ara girang.
"Definitely kangen deh see adek behavior if Ara has not worked for him later" said Ara. The girl will really miss the behavior of Gea and Dara later.
Ara has been accepted to work in large companies. Remember the company of his dreams ? Yaps, a big company owned by his girlfriend's family. Ara's dream materializes a bonus by becoming the lover of her owner. Ara was accepted to work there with a position that could be said to be high and that was thanks to Kevin, Gio's father. The girl yesterday suddenly got a work call at the main office directly as a CEO secretary. And the company is now led by her lover, Gio. He said this week there will be an inauguration and he will be involved in the ceremony as one of the important people in the Ananda family company. Ara was so happy to hear it but did not bother to feel bad as well.
Ara actually wanted to refuse because it was bad, but she had already promised Kevin that he would accept whatever the man gave. He said it was a gift for his graduation. Even Gio did not know this. He accidentally did not tell Gio because he wanted to give suprise for his lover.
"Which company?", asked Muti.
Ara sat down next to her grandmother and leaned her head against her.
"Father company. Yesterday he met Ara for that", replied Ara. Her grandmother already knew about Ananda's family and how the family was related to her son. She was grateful that the family was willing to accept Ara and treat her well.
"Well congratulations, grandma's granddaughter is very lucky. But remember even so can't..."
"Broast and high-hearted, must remain humble and many grateful. Yes Grandma, Ara always remembered", cut Ara off with her sweet smile.
"Oh yeah, there. Later late", Muti rubbed Ara's head.
"Yes, Ara said goodbye. Assalamualaikum", Ara kissed Muti's cheek and then immediately moved.
"Grandmother is well at home. Later Ara try to go home quickly", shouted Ara on the doorstep.
"No need, grandma there is a similar event Aunt Ani", said Muti chuckled slowly to make Ara chuckle.
After that the girl in a brown oversize shirt actually left the house by riding her matic motorcycle. Unaware, two people were waiting for him to get out of the house.
Arini and Beni, the two men went straight into the house after seeing Ara leave.
"Where?", asked Arini to the point to his mother.
"I won't know" replied Muti calmly.
"Where's mom?", she asked.
Muti was only quietly focusing on the television show he was watching.
"Okay Arini's looking".

"This week I'm going to have an event to introduce you to my business partner, as well as the inauguration of a new CEO" Kevin said, staring at his son who is now sitting in front of him.
"What's necessary, Dad?", asked Gio.
"Yes, it's up to me" replied Gio.
Kevin got up from his seat and walked towards the sofa by the large window in the room. Gio went up and sat down next to his father.
"In a moment, all this will be yours" said Kevin staring straight ahead.
"Are you sure?", asked Gio to look at the expanse of the building in front of him.
"That's how it should be, I don't want to lose my hand. I will still help you, but at your head office" replied Kevin.
"You have to learn from now, before leading your family later, you can learn from here first" continued the man.
"Although father never doubted brother about responsibility. Everything is clearly visible from your responsibility to mother, father and adek. There is no doubt, but there is no harm in learning to continue" said Kevin who knows well how the attitude and character of his eldest son.
"Well, I can't believe that my little son is this big and he wants to replace me" Kevin chuckled softly.
"When did you formalize your relationship?", asked Kevin again.
Gio turned his head to his father who also turned to look at him with a small smile.
"Inauguration later, is it okay?", asked Gio to make Kevin frown. His son did not think and decided.
"Are you sure?", asked Kevin.
"Remake sure. I don't want to wait much longer" replied Gio.
"Went married?", asked Kevin. Because what he meant earlier was to directly marry Ara.
Gio looked back straight ahead and leaned back on the back of the sofa.
"Actually you want to get married" chirped Gio.
"But you don't want to ruin Ara's dream, Dad. Brother had talked about this with Ara and he did not refuse at all but he also said he wanted to work first, maybe one or two years after that was just married" said Gio again.
"Ara said she wanted to feel how the world works before taking care of the household later and she also wanted to make her grandmother happy first", continued Gio made Kevin smile fluffy.
"Because he said after marriage later he would not work anymore, he wanted to focus on taking care of his household. As he said, Dad",
"So..."
"Inauguration later brother will bind him with fiance, at least that way our relationship is one step further. Brother does not want to always hang him with a courtship status", replied Gio.
"It's up to you how good it is. I will always support you" Kevin said.
"Yes, continue your work. I have a promise with my mother" said Kevin stood up followed by Gio.
"The courtship continues", chirped Gio.
"Remember ya bang, you are also not much different from the same mother's father", said Kevin did not want to lose.
After saying that Kevin really moved to leave Gio in his room. Gio circulated his gaze at that huge space. The smile that had been painted on his lips slowly faded away, this room was the room as big as his father that was now his place. The silent witness of his father's struggle began a business that was pioneered with the grandfather. A little in disbelief but that was the reality, as the eldest son and the main heir of his father, ready unprepared he had to accept it. He had a great responsibility as a first child.
Gio sat back in his chair, and his phone rang, signaling an incoming call. Gio glanced at his phone lying on the table. The name on it made him breathe softly.
"Why?", asked Gio to the point.
"Greetings first bang", sahut from across.
"Assalamualaikum says. Why is the phone clock so fast, there is no class?", said Gio softly.
"Waalaikumsalam", reply Gea.
A few seconds speechless, his little sister suddenly gave a loud scream that made Gio move his phone away.
"Dragon"
"Why the hell",
"Sir Ara is home, Gea can't go home. Gea there is a group assignment maybe until the night, mother same father is also not at home. Where's brother?", asked Gea.
"Dikantor"
"Yes, my brother came home. Kasian kak Ara alone at home", said Gea.
"Send you wait..."
"It's not good to tell people to wait, let alone long"
"The work of my brother lives a little, you call him and tell him to wait for his brother to pause again" said Gio.
Although his sister always irritated him but Gio never spoke in a high tone to his sister, always in a soft tone.
"Yes, Gea is closed. Assalamualaikum"
"Waalaikumsalam, you be careful"
After that call was interrupted, immediately Gio sent a message to his lover.
🖤
Darling
Wait at home
I'm home in half an hour
Don't go anywhere
After sending a message, Gio again struggled with some documents, as much as possible to finish his work quickly. He did not want to make Ara wait for long.
Meanwhile, across the street, the girl who had just received a message from her lover just smiled faintly. Then again busy observing every corner of the garden behind Gio's house that is really beautiful with flowers of various types growing there.
