1000 HOURS WITH YOU
3 Months have passed
It did not feel like 3 months Aslan had been looking for Irina's whereabouts, but until now the man had not found the woman he loved. Though his family also helped him, but nil, there was no result. The woman was lost in the earth, very good at hiding, frustrating Aslan and almost giving up. However, given Irina's smile and her immense love for the woman, Aslan's spirit flared up again.

That morning, Aslan went through his usual morning routine, he sat in the dining room enjoying coffee while hearing reports from his men who until now sought Irina's whereabouts out of town.
"How's it?" aslan asked one of his men via a video call. Aslan put his phone on a tripod that he placed on the table facing him. "I don't want to hear the word fail!" aslan continued in a cold and flat voice.
"I'm sorry, sir." Hearing the answers of his men, suddenly made Aslan angry.
"Why don't you guys be very smart, huh!!!! I've paid you dearly and three months' time is not enough to find one person!!!" aslan snapped with emotion, his jaw hardened, and his hands clenched tightly, if the men were in front of him, he might beat all the men mercilessly.
"Mr looking for one person in this country consisting of 34 provinces is not easy. Like looking for a needle in a haystack," obviously one of his men, as well as calm his boss who was angry.
"Much talk!!! Quickly find my woman again, and soon find her!!!" snapped Aslan then ended the video call connection.
Aslan was massaging her head that felt very dizzy lately, probably because she was lacking rest, and a lot of thoughts.
"Where are you, honey?" muttered Aslan while cupping his face with a huff. The man straightened his body, when Bi Inah came over while bringing breakfast for him.
"Master, your breakfast," said Bi Inah as she placed the omelets and toast in front of Aslan.
Aslan sniffed the smell of omelets that smelled different than usual. "Why does it smell so bad? Did auntie use rotten eggs?!" aslan asked suspiciously, while closing his nose because the omelet scent made his stomach churn.
"God, Master. Where might I use rotten eggs to make these omelets. I used high-quality ingredients, and the eggs were bought this morning" explained Bi Inah with a trembling voice, holding back tears, because only this time he was accused of being cruel.
"Ck! I'm just asking, why Aunt sewot!" reply Aslan with a kettle, then he pushed out a plate containing an omelette and two toast. "Remove it out of my sight! I'm sick of seeing it. Make me an instant noodle!" aslan's word is not to be disputed.
"Well, sir," Bi Inah replied, taking a deep breath, then immediately took the plate and took it to the kitchen.
"Auntie! Can hurry a little, I'm already very hungry!!!" aslan exclaimed from the dining room.
"Ba-good, Sir!" sahut Bi Inah, immediately make instant noodles for Aslan.

"Yes, Mom?" irina replied, immediately approaching the woman who was standing not far from her.
"Mom wants to talk to you. Are you done drying your clothes?" ask the middle-aged woman.
"A little more" replied Irina.
"Then finish first, after that meet the mother in the room. I want to talk about the continuity of this home."
