"Your map is upside down" said Tiara hesitantly resuscitating Aryo's nervousness.
Aryo who realized his stupidity immediately closed it and turned the map's position.
"Ahem..., you've finished everything" Aryo re-opened the map and read the writing on the paper. Aryo frowned staring at the writing on the paper.
"What kind of silly question is this and your answer.., my God..." Aryo shook his head reading the question on the paper, actually it was not like a question in general but rather lead to a puzzle.
Aryo started reading out loud.
"1). Mr. Joko came home from the office on the bus, Mr. Joko has 3 wives.The first wife has 3 children, the second wife has 5 children and the wife to three 2 children. How many people are on the bus?"
"Why do you answer 0?" ask Aryo.
"Busnya at the demo Mr, so do not accept passengers forced Pak Joko walk. Wherever possible sir Joko work bring the wife's child" replied Tiara flatly.
Aryo shook his head again and read the second question.
"2). There are 8 people walking in 1 umbrella, if one umbrella can only be for 2 people then how many people are raining?"
Why did you answer 0 again" Aryo frowned looking at Tiara.
"Now the dry season sir, so how could they be raining" said Tiara cuek.
Aryo returned to focus on question three.
"3). In 2010 Mr. Andi planted a coconut tree. If the growth of coconut trees is 1-1.5 meters per year then how many meters high is the neighboring coconut tree Pak Andi in 2015?
"Why did you answer 0 as well" Aryo began to raise the volume of her voice.
"Yang nanem Mr Andi, why are those asked to have neighbors? after all, the coconut tree belonging to neighbor Pak Andi was cut down in 2014 so the height is 0, because the tree is not there" Tiara blurted her lips to look at Aryo.
"But why it should be cut down you should measure first the height, just cut down" Aryo responded to Tiara's silliness by asking other questions.
"Master.., the coconut tree is large if it is lifted by the weight of the meal is cut down and if it has been cut down to let alone measured in height."
"Gosh, you two are a good fit. The one making the question and the one answering were both ridiculous" Aryo clucked in surprise and shook his head.
"I mean Master we're both a bunch of silly people..."
"No, it's not the two of us but just you and the one who made this question. And you need to know I didn't make this question" Aryo closed the map and put it on the table and put his foot out.
"Wait for Mister"
"What's wrong" Aryo turned her body looking at Tiara.
"Don't you have to explain to me something" Tiara asked.
"You mean?" Aryo frowned looking at Tiara.
"Master hired me for a week what's just to do something weird like this?
Doesn't that sound ridiculous sir. And one more thing you did yesterday was to prank me and even scribble my face. Doesn't your attitude look childish." Tiara dared herself to let go of all the questions she had in her head.
"wah it turns out that the little rabbit has started to show its claws. So you mean all my actions these 2 days are childish like that?
Okay if you don't like the childish, what if we do the mature thing now."
Aryo moved his legs closer to Tiara while the looking Tiara began to fearfully regurgitate his footsteps. Their growing distance made Tiara even more nervous.
Tiara continued to retreat backwards until her feet hit the edge of the sofa which made her tumble backwards. Tiara reflexively pulls Aryo until they fall down along with Aryo's position overriding Tiara.
because of Aryo's higher body position, so when they accidentally fall Aryo's lips perched on Tiara's forehead.
Tiara and Aryo were both shocked and looked at each other within seconds. Aryo who immediately realized quickly woke up from the fall position earlier.
Aryo then stepped onto the bed and sat his body on the edge of the mattress, because he thought this was the safest distance between himself and Tiara.
"Well, this time I won't make small talk to you. I'm an agent of Mr. Dimas, he asked me to take care of you during his departure. Mr. Dimas only gave you a week to make a decision starting from our initial meeting. So for the rest of the next day, please keep coming to this room. Keep your distance from me. When the time comes tell me your decision" immediately Aryo got up from his seat and stepped out.
Arriving outside Aryo held her chest and felt her heart beating fast.
Tiara held onto her forehead which Aryo had accidentally kissed earlier and looked at Aryo who was stepping out.
"What happened to my heart" Tiara felt her heart beating rapidly.
"So Mr. Dimas wasn't kidding with me he really wanted to take me out of here" Tiara murmured.
*********
In a Sakura country in one of the tall buildings that looks magnificent, there are two men who are talking.
"This master is the data of people who have betrayed our company and also the investors who support it" said Eric.
"Immediately complete the evidence so that we can drag the man to the bars."
"Don't worry sir, in less than 24 hours all the evidence will be gathered."
"Your work is pretty good this time, my choice of taking you with me this time is really right."
"No sir, you are wrong because the person who gave these traitor data and also the evidence of the crime later was the person sent by Aryo. You know, no, this is not my field, you should take Aryo and let me take care of the little rabbit" Eric said.
"So you doubted my decision" Dimas stared intently at Eric.
"Ti-no sir, it's just that Aryo is more connected to the mafia members in this country, while I usually just take care of the company files."
"So you think with your ability to take care of the file can protect the little girl" said Dimas coldly.
"Bu-not so sir but..."
"Stop your bullshit and hurry out of this room, being around you for a long time just makes me high blood. Dimas cuts off Eric's conversation and asks him to get out of his room.
Eric took his foot out of the room.
"Ahh..., what is that little girl doing now? I really miss him" muttered Dimas.

Tiara sat pensively in one corner of the employee locker room.
Before long the door of the room that had been closed was now open because of the arrival of someone. Tiara turned her gaze towards the door and smilingly looked at the middle-aged woman who had just entered the room.
"Bi Ana" Tiara greeted the middle-aged woman and kissed the back of her hand.
"Why are you daydreaming here, is there anything that bothers you?" Bi Ana rubbed Tiara's hair gently and sat down next to Tiara.
"There are people who want to redeem me and take me out of here Bi" said Tiara flatly.
"Isn't that good, at least you don't have to work here anymore. This place is too dangerous for a girl as beautiful as you." said Bi Ana softly.
"But Bi, he got me out of here doesn't mean free but that guy wants me."
"You mean" asked Bi Ana.
"The man wanted me to be his mistress for 2 years in exchange for the money he had used to redeem me" Tiara lowered her head and her tears just dripped down.
Bi Ana who was feeling pity rubbed Tiara's back gently.
"May Aunt know what the man's name is."
"His name is Mr. Dimas Adi.., Adi who is Bi I forgot" Tiara scratched his nape that was not itchy.
"You mean Mr. Dimas Adi Nugraha" said Bi Ana surprised.
"Yes Bi, that's his name. Did Aunt know him" Tiara asked.
"Who does not know the only heir of Lord Nugraha. Moreover, their families entered the ranks of the richest people in this country. Do you know that even all the girls in this town are vying to get close to him. Then why did you refuse his offer?" Bi Ana asked confusedly.
"I am indeed not a person who obeys the worship of Bi but became the mistress of another man, I prefer to die by suicide Bi" Tiara's tears flowed more and more.
"Listen son, being a mistress is not a good thing, but if you also choose to die by suicide it is a worse thing." Bi Ana tightly grasped Tiara's hand.
"Mr Dimas is not really a man who likes to hurt women, actually he is a good man. But circumstances were forcing him as if he looked like an asshole man."
"Take Mr. Dimas' request for him to fall slowly in love with you. Only then can you ask her to marry you whether it's legally valid or just religiously married.At least you have an honorable standing next to her." Bi Ana looked at the clingy Tiara.
"Listen Tiara wouldn't it be better to be next to one tiger than to be in a group of thousands of crocodiles" Bi Ana said.
"From Aunt's words, Tiara felt like she knew him"
"You're right, Mr. Dimas used to help me. That's why Aunt believes he's a good man. Auntie's past is so dark Tiara, Auntie doesn't want you to experience the same thing as Auntie."
"What does Aunt mean?
Did Lady Anggi also ever force aunty to be a comfort woman?" ask Tiara.
"You're wrong Tiara, Anggi was not the person he is today. She is a cheerful and innocent woman. I am the one who plunged him into the black valley. I made Anggi the once kind girl into the monster she is today."
TBC.
