"Really, mama. Niel's home.."
Ms. Reema looked at her son, Daniel Pratama, with a haru look.
"You're not going back to Japan, are you?" Ask Reema's mom while taking Daniel to the dining room. Daniel first washed his hands in the sink and sat down at the dinner table
"No, ma. Niel got the position of senior general manager at the Jakarta branch. Most niel goes back and forth to report to the center once every few months. The rest can be via email."
Ms. Reema smiled as she pushed the warm sweet tea she had just made in front of Daniel. Daniel thanked him and took a sip
"So, what are your activities today?"
Daniel shook his head "At home, nemenin mama. Monday Niel just went to the office for the handover."
"Good, Za WA mama that tomorrow he's permission not to come. If you're at home, mom has a friend."
"Za?" Repeat Daniel
"Oh yeah, Zalynda's name. She's the girl who helped mama out here."
Daniel's forehead creased as if he had heard that name, but where?
"The chick's deft, fine.." Miss Reema again
Daniel reflexively pulled the tip of his lips "Helper? Mama has two plus gardeners still need more helpers?"
"No, more like your personal assistant. He was saving my mom when he almost got a car. Mama first look at him already so girakannyal."
"Keep mama bargaining for work here?"
Ms. Reema nodded. Daniel shook his head. It is true that his mother who pulled the girl to work at his house due to return the favor
"Pity him Niel. The way of life if told sad. My mom is grateful that she is married now. Her husband is very dear to her.."
"Ooh, are you married? Kirain mama wants to mate with Niel like before." Daniel chuckles
Ms. Reema glared at "Ah she is more concerned with being your child than being your wife. You're actually a hobby of marrying divorced twice."
Daniel smiled wryly at the affectionate scolding from Reema's mother
Remembering his first marriage from an arranged marriage between the two parents. There was no love between the two, they parted well.
His second marriage was with his business partner in Japan, of his own choice. But the woman apparently only used Daniel's position to steal company information.
Daniel feels disappointed and betrayed, deciding to divorce. The reason for his move to Indonesia was to avoid the woman who was still begging to return to Daniel
Daniel's look was bright. Both marriages failed. Perhaps this is the punishment God has given for his past sins.
In addition, there is still one name that continues to survive in Daniel's heart. The name of a woman who always occupies the top position of her heart
Although the woman does not recognize him now, although she is now only playing with her imagination, Daniel still can not remove the shadow of the woman from the mind
Still fresh in Daniel's memory how the woman smiled, laughed, even so voluptuous in bed. Without knowing, Daniel smiled
"Nil.."
Reema's voice ended Daniel's daydream. The man looked into the eyes of old lady Reema who was still radiating shade for Daniel
"Yes ma?"
Ms. Reema smiled gently as she stroked the back of Daniel's hand.
"Mama's glad you're home."

"Mother, is this how you buy it?* Task Ian while pushing the trolley towards the supermarket exit
"Enough Yan, or do you want to buy something?"
Ian shook his head while smiling. They had already walked out of the supermarket while chatting casually. The atmosphere in the parking lot is not as crowded as usual, probably because it was past 8 pm
"Mas.." calling someone made Ian look back
"What's wrong?" Ian asked as he looked at a girl who was thrusting out a piece of paper
"I'm sorry, I'm a final-level student who's applying for a thesis. I am collecting questionnaires from some customers in this supermarket as my thesis material. Can you help fill out?"
Ian stared lazily at the piece of paper that the girl had given him in front of him
"Fill in a minute. There's no harm in helping people." Said Aya while taking over the trolley that Ian had brought.
"OK." Ian said briefly. Soon the young man filled out some questions from the questionnaire given
Aya pushed her trolley across the supermarket parking lot, without realizing a car was speeding towards her
Suddenly a girl runs towards Aya and pulls Aya to the edge. The black car just grazed Aya's trolley and drove back
Ian was wide-eyed to see that and immediately ran towards Aya who looked shocked and shocked
"Mother.Mother is okay?" Ian asked worriedly while checking Aya out. Aya blinked a few times to regain her consciousness
"It's okay, mom is okay Yan."
The girl who had pulled Aya invited the woman to sit for a moment on the parking sidewalk and gave a drink to Aya.
"Aunty is okay?" Asked the girl with a worried look
Aya sipped the drink the girl gave her. Aya momentarily seemed to regulate her breathing
"Mother, how?" Ian asked worriedly seeing Aya pulling and exhaling
Aya smiled towards Ian as she shook her head to calm her son "Mother is fine, Yan. Just surprised."
Then Aya's gaze turned towards the girl who had pulled her
"Thank you very much, son. What's your name?"
The girl smiled sweetly back at Aya.
"I'm Diva, aunt.."

Ray put some grocery bags on the table. Although Marvin and Ghea's wedding reception lasted until 9 p.m., Ray had to leave early because it would take (or rather force) Zalynda to shop for clothes at one of the boutiques.
At first the girl refuses, but Zalynda remembers Ray will take her to meet Ardhi and Aya. Zalynda recalled, he had no proper attire other than t-shirts, shirts and skirts and daily pants
The only dress that Zalynda had was the one that the girl was currently wearing. Zalynda therefore agrees to Ray's invitation to buy a decent dress to meet Ray's parents
The heart only wants one shirt. But Ray chose some dresses, lingerie and lingerie for Zalynda who made the girl's face like a boiled crab, while the SPGs just smile meaningfully
"Ray.." call Zalynda when she sees Ray laying on the couch.
Ray opened his eyes and looked towards Zalynda who was carrying the creamy coffee in his hand.
"Yes Za?" Ray immediately changed his position to sit
Zalynda smiled as she handed over the creamer coffee in her hand
"Drink first."
Ray smiled as he nodded and received the creamer coffee from Zalynda's hand
"Enak also had a wife, tired of drinking sodorine." Bathin Ray made the young man smile
"Np.. Thanks for buying that too." Zalynda said again as she looked towards Ray who was sipping slowly his drink.
Ray nodded "Sama-sama."
Zalynda nodded slowly with a faint smile, then carried the shopping bags to her room.
"Hey.." Ray's call stopped Zalynda's steps. The girl turned her body
"The pay is not enough if the creamer coffee is." Ray said again while blinking one eye makes Zalynda become misbehaved. Immediately Zalynda stepped quickly into his room
Ray chuckled at the 'click' sound from Zalynda's room. The girl still locked the door as if she was afraid Ray would barge in. They almost did the first night
First night...
The shadow of last night re-shadowed in Ray's eyes as if the film slides back in turn and causes the flow of blood to gather at one point
"Dluck..."
Ray breathed a heavy sigh. Slowly his hands were rubbing his temples. Although the actual place of his pulsation is in other parts of his body and not in his head, but it does not stop it makes his head a little dizzy
Ray decides to approach Zalynda's room. Maybe if Ray asks, Zalynda will grant it. Ray has full rights over Zalynda
Tong...
The bell at the door distracts Ray. Ray's forehead wrinkled at the watch.
"Who's coming in these nights?" Whisper slowly
With wide steps Ray moved towards the front door and opened it. Ray's face looks surprised to see the figure of a man who towers before him
"Dad.."
