"*My name is Gallen, I am not your father*."
\*\*\*
The man slapped his forehead hard enough to make the girl named Zoya aghast. Father, father said? Was he that old until this girl in front of him constantly called himself a father?
"Do I look old? Your eyes are really troubled if you think so." Sung at.
Zoya just stared at the man in front of her with a frown. Really, it seems innocent and stupid really fused perfectly on the girl. He is not afraid of people who continue to talk with half-cussing on him, nor does he have the slightest prejudice on him so that he can innocently approach when their place is currently completely deserted. The man sighed, there was no point in him being as upset as before.
"My name is Gallen, I'm not your father." The man then said. Zoya looked at Gallen seriously, then suddenly opened her mouth after a moment of silence.
"Tumben you speak politely to me." Said. Between pride and wonder, but obviously it makes Gallen even more distrustful that there are such strange creatures on the face of this earth.
Even so untrustworthy, Gallen fell silent with his mouth open.
She's deaf, huh? Didn't I tell you that I'm not his father? Why do you call me that call?
Gallen doesn't know how else to answer. This girl in front of him really pissed him off on her own. Were his words not clear enough to understand the girl? Or is the girl too stupid to understand her words?
"Whatever!"
Gallen turned around to pick up his purse and purse, then chose to walk away from there. It was better for him to find a place to spend the night and borrow someone else's cell phone to be able to contact his assistant than to continue there and die upset because of the girl.
"Sir! Sir, wait!"
Gallen doesn't want to stop. He knew if he stopped then the girl would only make it more difficult for him. Didn't things start to get weird since he met the girl? Thus, ignoring the call, he quickened his footsteps to leave.
"Sir!"
Damn, that girl was fast too.
Zoya holds Gallen's arm quite firmly. With a gasping breath as a result of chasing after the man who ran dodging as he called, Zoya slowly raised her head and squeezed back at the man, "Sir, may I ask for more help?" Her request.
If allowed, Gallen would like to answer 'no' to that question. But as it happened earlier this afternoon, this tough-looking yet hearted Hello Kitty simply could not let a poor person like that girl just like that when she asked for help. No, that's how it is. So even though Zoya had upset her and Gallen looked at the girl with a look as if telling her to leave, in the end the words spoken from the man's lips were the opposite words.
"Huh, okay. But get your hands off me!" He said half-calling.
Zoya chuckled happily, then immediately took off her handhold on the man, "Hehe, thank you, sir."
Gallen rolled his eyes. Really, it seemed like he would regret his decision just now.

Gallen brought the girl with him. Even though it was late and passers-by was almost rare, the man knew that there was a pretty good hotel nearby. It was quite a distance away if it had to go there, but both of them had no better choice than that. Gallen walked a few steps ahead. And the jolly and innocent Zoya continued to speak in the back like a chirping bird.
"Sir, what age are you?" Ask after so many questions. Gallen rolled his eyes, answering the question with great force.
"Twenty-five years." The answer. As if in disbelief, the girl again asked in a voice that rose by several octaves.
"Twenty-five? Means five years from me, dong." Said again. The girl then muttered little, beginning to realize her way of calling the man was wrong.
"Are you aware that it's wrong?"
Gallen squinted. That's not what the girl wanted to say.
Adult or old? It felt like he was insulting me subtly.
Gallen could only murmur inwardly.
"If your call doesn't match, what to call, huh?" His murmur was still heard by Gallen. The man looked back for a moment, before finally looking back.
"Call Gallen alone." Said. Maybe she did not want the atmosphere to feel awkward, but Zoya immediately shook her head strongly at the advice of the man.
"Where possible, ba---echem, you've been very kind and generous to me, it's not polite to just call names."
Gallen only kept silent as he watched her when he heard the answer. Nevertheless, it seemed like he was starting to change his thoughts little by little. It is true that Zoya is very annoying, but over time it feels funny too.
But, still he sucks. Huh.
"Whatever." He suddenly took his foot steps. Zoya who is busy with her own thoughts is immediately surprised, then realized that she was left behind.
"Sir! Wait!"
***
"Well." the girl's eyes sparkled. Are they really going to stay here? In a place this big and luxurious?
"It must be expensive. How much do I owe you this way?" His facial expression changed. It seemed that his admiration instantly disappeared as he remembered that he had to pay back all the money that the man had spent for him.
"Then, don't think about it. Just as bother." He said he started to walk up to the elevator. Zoya follows behind the man, then enters with him.
"Wuah, like on TV!" Admired again. The girl touched the elevator wall with sparkling eyes, before suddenly thinking back on the debt to be paid.
"Oh, I almost forgot." Mumbled slowly. The luxury that he had never seen before clearly made him easily forget himself. Zoya pulls out her hand that originally touched the elevator wall, trying to calm down. He never imagined would be able to see a place like this directly, let alone stay like this. But he must remember. He had borrowed a large sum of money from the man beside him and he had to pay for it.
As soon as she regained consciousness, Zoya immediately looked at the exotic-skinned man beside her with a serious look, "I'll definitely pay back all the money you spent on me." Said. From the look in his eyes, it was seen that the girl had been convinced of his decision. There was not the slightest bit of hesitation emanating from the serious face that was staring at him.
Gallen only stared at him for a moment, then looked straight at the elevator door again. He's thinking. What exactly does that girl want? After all Zoya did not have money, then why was the girl busy wanting to pay the debt?
I didn't spend too much money on him. Isn't he poor? Why would he force me to pay when I told him to forget?
His eyes stole a glance at the girl. After speaking confidently, Zoya was busy bowing her head while looking down at the end of her own shoes. Gallen's forehead shriveled at the sight beside him. Did the girl start to regret her own words? If he did, Gallen would not have made such a fuss and would have been happy to let him go the next day.
Elevator door opens. Both of them stepped into their rooms. Gallen understands that the girl must not know how the hotel works. He then explained briefly, concisely, and clearly about these things, along with the rules that should not be violated by him.
"Don't knock on your bedroom door?" Ask with confusion.
"Yes! Make sure you never knock on my bedroom door for anything to happen." His serious facial expression, was enough to make people feel fear. Gallen thinks he has been patient enough to respond to all the questions asked by Zoya since. Now, he wanted to enjoy his own time without having to hear the girl's voice again. So what does the girl expect? Disturb him at night? Haha, don't expect that to happen!
"alright. I'm not gonna knock on your room door." A pretty firm answer made Gallen feel relieved. Finally, he could rest in peace without fear of being distracted because of the girl!
"Now enter. I'll go back to my room, too."
Zoya nodded. As soon as ordered, the girl went straight into the room. He did not want to make Gallen feel upset and sorry for taking him. Apparently, he now knew how he could repay all his debts to the man.
Gallen has just left the place so convinced that Zoya has entered. That girl is not very smart. He could have forgotten how to get into the room even though Gallen had explained. And in anticipation of being suddenly summoned, Gallen prefers to make sure the girl enters first before leaving.
And this is where Gallen is now. Looking at the ceiling of her hotel room with her body lying on the bed. Tired, she wanted to rest.
I'm finally alone. There was no chatty girl who kept asking, let alone the elders who kept getting angry. Finally, I can sleep well now.
