"Look, instead of us going down and meeting your Papa in the lobby, we'd better go upstairs."
"Where's it going?"
"To the room, baby? I have to take a shower. Next time don't do something like that, you've woken up something that's asleep."
"Who told you not to stop talking."
"You also didn't say that if Om Hendrik came, I could welcome him."
"Related to welcome him? aren't you afraid of Papa?"
"Who's afraid?" Zein raises both shoulders.
"Aren't you avoiding Papa?"
"Not avoiding, dear..! but give Om Hendrik time to calm down. Just calm down, I will try to thwart your matchmaking with others because you are only mine."
Zein pulls Alika into the elevator and then presses the top floor button in her room. At each of his hotels, Zein has a private room that is never occupied by others because sometimes he needs a break if he is checking the hotel's monthly report.
Ting!
The elevator opens on the top floor. Zein pressed his room password then they entered together. Alika was stunned to see the contents of Zein's luxurious room. Starting from the living room, dining room, large enough work space, two bedrooms, as well as a private pool, equipped with a sports area and bulletproof windows. With luxurious and elegant architecture, and a combination of white and gray paint that dominates the room looks more spacious and comfortable to relax.
"Why stand there? comein! if you want to swim, swim there. I'm gonna take a shower." Point Zein to the pool and then step foot into one of the rooms.
"No ah! it'll be a while, I still have to get back to the office." Reject Alika while looking at the watch in her hand.
Alika chose to sit on the living room sofa while waiting for Zein to finish bathing. Take the TV remote on the table and press the on button. Looking for her favorite Korean drama broadcast then leaned her shoulder on a sofa.
Half an hour waiting, Zein had not left the room yet. He lay down and closed his eyes to rest.
Drrt. drrt...
Alika's cell phone rang.
Alika jerked, the sound of her phone making her sleep disturbed, she took the phone inside her sling bag then opened her eyes. His eyebrows pucker up when he sees Papa's name on his phone screen. Alika sighed heavily then shifted the green button on the screen.
"[Hello Pah.]" Javan Alika's.
"[Where are you, baby?]" Ask Hendrik.
"[Against Pah, want to meet with Meriska and clients.]" Alika is lying.
"[After meeting, you met Papa at the Milano Centro hotel restaurant. There's something important that Papa wants to talk about. All know you with your daughter Papa.]" Hendrik Pinta.
Alika's eyes glared, how not, the hotel that Hendrik meant was the same hotel that he was in at the moment.
"[But, Alika doesn't know what time Pah's finished?]" Reject Alika.
"[Then, drop out for another hour. Dad's waiting for you now.]" Hendrik.
"[But Pah.]"
Tut. tut's..
"Ihh, Papa is so bad! the guy I'm still talking to, hang up!" Upset Alika then threw her phone on the sofa.
"Who called you dear?"
Zein suddenly appeared from behind kissing Alika's forehead then came to sit beside her.
"Papa." Alika replied weakly.
"Why are you pouting like that? spirit dong..! when I met my future husband, his face was bent, ugly tau!" Canda Zein, leaning her head against Alika's boat. "You're like ABG, you love to watch Drakor." Ejek Zein while looking at the television screen in front of him.
"Belgroff." Upset Alika.
"Why did Hendrik call you?" Ask Zein.
"The father asked me to meet him downstairs, and he wanted to get to know me with my future husband." Alika's reply emphasized the word 'my husband's candidate'.
"I'm dong..?" Zein was still joking while Alika was in serious fashion.
"That's.. Zein, I'm not kidding anymore."
"I'm kidding too, baby...! are you scared?"
Alika nodded while looking at Zein's eyes.
"Don't be afraid, baby..!" Zein stroked Alika's head.
"I'm not afraid of Papa, but I'm so afraid of losing you, Zein!"
"Don't be afraid, just meet them and behave as usual, soon we will give them a surprise. You go there first, I'll follow." Persuade Zein.
Alika hugged Zein tightly. Somehow he was afraid that Hendrik would separate him from Zein.
"I am too, dear..! Let's give you your sweet kiss. Everything's gonna be okay." Persuade Zein.
Alika clad her head, kissed Zein's lips then re-hugged her.
"Your face must be blushing, right? that's why you hide by hugging me." Zein said making Alika increasingly blushed because of embarrassment.
Zein reciprocated Alika's embrace giving her warmth and comfort to lean on.
"You know Zein, Alan used to hug me like this when I was scared, worried that something might not happen? Now I feel it again, afraid Papa will match me to another man and separate us. And you're hugging me like Brother Alan feels so comfortable and soothing. If one day we're not in a match, will you still hug me like this Zein?" Alika said with tears that began to break.
Zein held onto Alika's shoulder, giving her some distance to be able to see Alika's eyes. "Hey.why are you crying? I'll always be there for you, replacing Alan with you. I promised him and myself. Be calm! nothing will separate us." Zein then wiped off Alika's tears.
"I'm afraid of Zein!" Shiver Alika with trembling and cold hands. His gaze began to empty as his illness began to recur.
"Dear you why...?"
Zein started to panic, only this time seeing Alika like a frightened person.
"Zein. i.."
"You sick?"
"No, I'm just worried."
"Excessive anxiety is also a disease dear..! Relax, everything's gonna be fine."
Zein rubbed the top of Alika's head then re-hugged her.
After Alika calmed down, Zein stepped onto the balcony. Direct view to the park and swimming pool. The air in the afternoon hit her hair that was unraveling and waving.
Alika holds the edge of the balcony. The manic was sparkling while moving to enjoy the scenery that was very pampering to his eyes.
"Do you like this place?" Ask Zein.
"Looky..! It's so beautiful here, you go to this place Zein often?" Ask Alika.
"I thought you liked simple things, Alika. You are different from other girls who prefer to go shopping for luxury and branded goods at the Mall. As for you, just bringing you to see the scenery is already very happy. Somehow Om Hendrik educated you up to this. I was wrong to think that a rich girl like you must be very spoiled and like to squander money. I'm amazed at you." Inner Zein.
"She, every time I check the hotel employee's report, I'm always here to calm my mind and enjoy a cup of coffee."
"Trus why is there no coffee now?"
"Because it's hard, baby..! You're sweeter than coffee."
"Buck!"
"That's the truth."
Zein pulled up the chair then sat down, continuing to watch Alika from top to bottom and then up again. "What a perfect creation of God." Inner Zein.
"How many times have you dated?" Ask Zein curiously. According to him, Alika must be surrounded by men while in college because it is very beautiful.
"Mmm... How many yes..? I don't remember." Alika pretended to raise her fingers until it was not enough if only ten fingers.
"I'm serious."
"Forgot, everything is not important." Alika replied then looked at the watch in her hand. "I think I should go see Papa."
"Do I need to take you?"
"No, I can do it myself, baby..!"
"Well, come on, I'll take you to the elevator." Zein followed Alika.
Alika takes her sling bag on the sofa then exits with Zein towards the elevator.
Once in front of the elevator, they parted ways, Zein kissed Alika's forehead then let her enter the elevator alone.
