...***...
After her shift is over, Zoya takes care of her things. While waiting for the next shift employee to arrive, the woman played her phone and typed some keywords in the search engine.
Prawijaya Family.
Zoya rests her back on the chair. Technological progress in this day and age is truly remarkable. Just mentioning a few keywords alone various info comes out so easily. The woman swiped through several articles, clicking on one of them as she felt the news was quite important.
Zoya read the news well, but during this time he was very anti in that case, "Alexander Prawijaya built his large company with his three children, Basman Alexander Prawijaya, Tony Alexander Prawijaya, and others, and Pamela Alexander Prawijaya." Zoya thought for a moment. His little brain needs time to understand the content of the article.
"In remembrance, the Boss seemed to have said that .. "he tried to recall it.
Uncle Basman also always scolded me even when I didn't make a mistake. Aunt Pamela who always defended me is also more busy taking care of her family now. I have no friends, even cats will bite me if I approach.
"That means that Alexander Prawijaya is the Boss' Grandpa, then these three children are the Father, Uncle, and Tantenya Boss, right?"
Zoya read the news again.
"The company was subsequently handed over to his second son, Tony Alexander Prawijaya, who only led for a short period of time to die in a tragic accident with his wife." Zoya was silent as she read the passage. That guy's Gallen's dad, isn't he? So the intent of his words saying that his parents died when he was five years old, was because of this? Because of an accident?
"His brother."
Zoya was sad to imagine that. Although his father Galak, but Zoya felt grateful because it was still given the opportunity to gather with his parents in a state of fullness at his age. She may not be the kind of friendly parent, but Zoya knows that her father actually loves her very much. Evidently at the worst of times, his father always put his body in front of people who insult Zoya, not letting Zoya hear every slur and insult they throw.
"Is it because of this, yes, that's why the Boss insisted on getting married? Because he knows clearly what it's like to have a broken family? Or, because he wants to have his own family?" He began to guess.
Zoya stared at her phone screen again, reading the news.
"I think I should treat him well." Disconnect later.
Seeing the next shift employee coming from a distance, Zoya immediately turned off her phone. He put the phone in his small bag, then greeted the woman kindly.
"Sorry, yeah. I have business." Said the woman. Looking around, it turned out that the woman was already thirty minutes late. He should have apologized.
"Nothing. Well, since you've come, now I'm home, yeah." Zoya puts her little bag on her shoulder, "Bye!" Her lamb.
The woman waved back.

After returning home from work, Zoya picks up Noah at Winona's house. They went home together on public transport, then immediately took a shower and cleaned themselves. Noah sits in front of the TV, while Zoya starts preparing cooking ingredients for dinner. Although still a long time, but he wanted to make a good food for Gallen.
Some time later, the roar of the car engine was heard clearly from outside. Zoya still remained calm while preparing her cooking. He was convinced that the person outside must be Gallen.
The door sounded open. Along with the swift steps of a person, the figure of the exotic-skinned man then appeared and approached them.
"I'm home!" Exclaims.
Noah turned his head, looking at Gallen who had entered the house, "Mama, Uncle has come." Said. Noah's words made Gallen sigh, then crouched down to equalize his height with the child.
"Papa, not Uncle. Remember that I'm your father, okay?" Gallen reminded me again.
Zoya just smiled cutely at the interaction of the two people. He who had just finished cooking took a glass of water to wet his dry throat.
"Papa? If Uncle is Mama's husband, I can just call you that." Said Noah, who made Zoya spout back her drink.
"Ohok, ohok."
Gallen smiled mockingly from his place. She saw Zoya patting her chest still holding a glass of water.
"No problem. Your father will marry your mother. But we still have to wait, because your mama still continues to reject me." Gallen pretends to whisper Noah, but Zoya can still hear him clearly.
"Boss, don't wash my son's mind." Zoya's Sweats.
Noah looked at the two people who looked like they were fighting, but to Noah they looked like people who were showing each other their affection even in different ways. Noah knew that all this time he had been deceived by Grandpa, Grandma, and Mama, but it seemed like this would be suitable to avenge the lies they had made.
"Oh, so Uncle helped knead the flour?"
"Flour?" Gallen knitted his two eyebrows. What's the connection between a child and a flour?
Zoya who understood the direction of this conversation immediately turned around and shouted asking Noah to stop his words, "Stop!" Zoya's orders. The boy glimpsed at his mother. Accompanied by a sneaky smile from his tiny lips, Noah then resumed his words earlier.
"Yes. Aren't babies made from flour, eggs, and water?" Said the boy.

"Haha." Gallen still couldn't stop his laughter. The man whose hand was still wearing the arm sling couldn't even focus on eating just because he kept thinking about Noah's words.
"Do you really think they're cakes? How can I use flour, eggs, and water to make it." Gallen is still giggling. Now Noah is back to sleep in his room, only Gallen and Noah are in the TV room because of their plan to watch a movie together.
Zoya glanced sharply at the man who was still unceasingly laughing, "Yes and on I have to be honest, is that it? 'Hey, kid. Actually you were born because of the dimples and hammers that met each other'. That so?"
Gallen held his stomach. Amused and funny have mixed into one. He couldn't stop laughing.
"I've guessed this. They are very smart, there will be many questions they ask but it is not appropriate for their age. But, but, "Gallen covered her blushing face, "Geez, I can't stop laughing."
Zoya pinched firmly on the man's waist, making Gallen scream in pain while laughing simultaneously.
"This can be reported as a form of KDRT." Gallen. He stroked his pinched waist. It hurt, but Gallen wasn't upset with the woman at all.
Zoya looked at Gallen, grieving as she chuckled at his words earlier.
"Not married, Boss. How can I get a KDRT." Zoya reminded me again.
Gallen chuckled at that, "Yes that's why we're married." Gallen smiled at the woman beside him, "Later if you want to hit or pinch me like that, I won't fight." Said.
Zoya shuddered, amused herself.
"Udah, ah. Let's watch it."
Zoya chooses what movie she wants to watch. Gallen looked at the woman, then gave a proposal.
"How about the last series of love movies between vampires and humans?" Zoya looks at Gallen. The man smiled, returning to the past, "You left before finishing the movie first." Further.
Zoya was silent for a while. His heart was beating very hard. There was a strange feeling that permeated his heart upon hearing that. Hasn't it been a long time? Why does he remember?
"okay." Zoya chose the film. He then turned on the film, then sat back on the same sofa as Gallen. He looked at the man who was focused on the screen in front of him, not glancing at Zoya even though the woman was beside him.
"Oh, yes, Boss. I want to ask." Zoya spoke first. The person who was spoken to then turned his head, waiting for the question that Zoya was going to ask.
"I saw in the search engines, the boss's parents---"
HORN
Zoya looked around. Suddenly everything went dark. The electricity suddenly died when the film they were playing had just begun. Zoya fumbles around him, looking for the phone he had previously put down originally.
"Attep, Boss. I'll find the phone first to activate the flashlight."
Zoya is back groping. He put his cell phone on the table in front of them. After trying hard enough, he was finally able to find his phone. Zoya activates the flashlight on her phone and shows it to Gallen.
"Well, now we're --"
Zoya was instantly speechless after seeing what was in front of her. After turning on the flashlight, Zoya was finally able to see clearly. The man, Gallen, was holding his chest in pain, while his breathing was irregular and his eyes were wide open.
"Boss!"
