..."Not long ago there was a raid in the rented next door, because the concerned brought a man even though he was not married. So, now people forbid anyone to bring men into contract even if only outside."...
...***...
As a work professional attitude that he has trained, hearing the question does not immediately make Zoya nervous. With a smile, he answered the woman's question without hesitation.
"My name is Zoya, Madam." she said.
The woman who asked earlier, Pamela Prawijaya then smiled, "Your face looks very familiar. Have we met before?" Ask.
Zoya again replied, "I brought your order yesterday, Madam. Maybe that's why Madam feels familiar with my face."
Pamela looked to nod her head. With a friendly smile, she invites Zoya to return.
"Sorry to interrupt your work time. You can come back now." Said.
Zoya then resigned. Pamela Prawijaya is really good. He even said words of encouragement as Zoya was about to move on.
"Zoya!" Some of his co-workers called.
He then immediately stung, fulfilling the call of his co-worker who looked curious.
"What were you guys talking about? Did you make a mistake?" Ask one of them. There was a clear stroke of worry on their faces.
Zoya shakes her head to accept the accusation.
"No, Miss Pamela just felt that my face was familiar, so she asked." Zoya.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief hearing that. Of course because the customers this time are important people, so they do not want there to be the slightest mistake that will make them reduce the value of this restaurant.
"Thank God then. We can feel a little relieved."
Zoya chuckles. Lately their restaurant is getting quite a lot of attention, so everyone becomes more worried about many things. For example, as now. Because they all did not want to waste the opportunity that had come and made their efforts go to waste.
"Yaudah, I'll go back to the kitchen first."
They allow Zoya to leave. After all, there really isn't much work, so it's possible that Zoya just wants to make that an excuse and go somewhere else.
"Go, we'll call you later if we need any additional help."

"Not home yet?"
Zoya turned her head as the greeting was clearly directed at her. Dafa with his black car stopped right in front of Zoya. Zoya's a little freaked out. He can clearly predict what will happen next.
"I can go home by myself, really." Reject Zoya directly. Making Dafa chuckle to himself.
"old. Mending me between them, more clammy. Besides, I do have business in the same direction as your contract." Fresh Dafa.
Zoya smiled awkwardly, confused. How'this? He did not even tell Dafa that they were no longer in the rented house for long. If until Dafa finds out they moved without telling him, even now living with a man he didn't know, then he's gone.
"I have business, so --- ah!"
Dafa, who can't wait to see all of Zoya's rejection, gets out of his car, opens the door, and encourages Zoya to enter.
BRACKET
The car door was closed immediately.
"Take it easy, must have been delivered to the contract safely, really." Said in the window. Zoya simply fell silent, still shocked by Dafa's actions.
Without waiting for a reply from Zoya, Dafa then turned around and opened the door beside the wheel. He got in, started the car and prepared to leave.
"Dead me." Zoya muttered while throwing away her face.
Because now he has already entered this car, to cover his lies then inevitably he must lead Dafa to deliver him to the contract. But because the banner that says the contract has been sold is very large, Zoya must be able to stop the man before arriving right in front of his contract. Probably about a few feet before we got there. But how?
Dafa who saw the woman just kept quiet then asked her.
"Since you guys came back from the village, I've never seen Noah again. Is he all right?"
Zoya nodded. Luckily Dafa invited her to talk so Zoya did not feel too awkward because she kept quiet from now on.
And Gallen too, actually. But Zoya couldn't talk about it with Dafa.
Actually, since meeting with Gallen, Noah has been talking more. He also does not often get upset suddenly like before. Was it because he had been feeling inattentive all along? Or because Gallen's presence makes his life more colorful?
Clearly, this change leads to a good thing. So, Zoya won't take the trouble.
"That's a good thing, right?"
Zoya nodded. Good thing, indeed. Hence Zoya increasingly thinks that it seems that getting married to Gallen is the right choice. It's possible that his son would be happier if his parents were united, right?
Duh, what the hell is Zoya thinking about this? Just make him ashamed.
The car turns to the right. Zoya suddenly realizes that soon they will arrive at her contract.
Wait for. Get to the contract?
"Ah, Dafa!" Zoya made Dafa a little surprised. Still while running the car quietly, Dafa turned to the woman beside him.
"Why?"
Zoya hesitated a little. Hopefully, this childhood friend of his did not catch the lies he made.
"Not so long ago there was a raid in the rented next door, because the concerned brought men even though they were not married. So, now people forbid anyone to bring men into contract even if it's just outside." Zoya's Lies.
Sorry, sorry, sorry!
Zoya apologizes deeply to the owner of the contract next door for making a no-no story.
Dafa stopped in front of the alley. Actually about a few hundred meters more, then they will arrive at Zoya's contract.
"So here is it?"
Zoya nodded quickly. Fortunately, Dafa believed in him. Thus, he would not see the large banner attached to the rented.
"All right." Dafa then let Zoya down.
Zoya looked at Dafa from the window, "Please, yes."
A faint smile rose on the handsome face of the man, "If it takes anything, just report it."
Zoya nodded. After a short chat, Dafa finally came home. Zoya let out a long breath. Although there are lies to be remembered for, but thank God for now he survived.
"Now you have to find public transport again. Ow."
***
When Zoya comes home with Noah, the house still looks empty. Naturally, Gallen did come home a little longer than he did. He then went to clean himself, then hurriedly went to the kitchen to cook as usual. Over time, Zoya gets used to this sequence of work. Isn't she fit to be a good housewife?
"Oh, think again."
He immediately shook his head. Zoya initially refuses Gallen. But now, it is even he who keeps thinking about that status. Isn't it too ignorant of himself for him to do that even though he rejected Gallen firmly when Gallen expressed his feelings?
TRINGS
Zoya glanced towards the source of the voice. There's a call coming in to the house phone. The woman went there, picked up the phone before it died.
"Hello?"
Zoya waited for the opponent across the line to make a sound. But many times he tried in fact there was no answer whatsoever.
"Misconnect?"
Zoya again greeted her interlocutor. But instead of answering, the person turned off the phone. Strange, is that just a prankster?
"Call from whom?"
Zoya turns around, finding Gallen standing at the door.
"Oh, Boss."
