Aulia Bilqis
Merlin

Alif left for the office earlier than usual. He did not even have breakfast first . He hoped that Aulia still came to the office despite being kicked out by her papa .

Mustofa sat in a chair in the dining room waiting for his family members to come down . He read the newspaper that was delivered to his house every morning. Although all are all digital, and reading the news can be via mobile, but not for Musthofa. He prefers to read the newspaper .

Siska is still preparing princess needs for school. After his daughter is ready in uniform just prepare the others.

Shortly afterwards came Arfan in neat clothes . His face looked lethargic and sleepless .He sat himself in the chair he used to sit in.

" Morning pa " said Arfan without spirit . Musthofa glanced at the uncharacteristic state of the son. But he chose not to comment.

" Morning .... Your brother hasn't come down yet ?" tanya Muscofa .

" It seems like Brother has left for the office first" replied Arfan soberly.

" No breakfast yet?" ask Musthofa in wonder . It was not usual for his eldest son to leave breakfast.

" I don't know....Arfan also does not know " replied Arfan soberly by sniffing his shoulder .

" Papa morning," greeted the princess cheerfully. He came with Siska .

Siska sits her daughter in the chair next to her papa . Then get me some fried rice for her husband .

" Morning is also the beautiful princess papa. How was he sleeping last night?" musthofa asked no less cheerful.

" No doubt pa.. princess dreams of playing with a beautiful sister who is kind hearted," answered the princess recounted her dream.

" Wah .. What is the name of her beautiful sister?"

" Princess doesn't know" replied the princess by shaking her head.

" How do you not know ?"

" I don't know her, so the princess doesn't know her name."

" Yes already, then we have breakfast first."

" Where is Alif?" ask the princess while wailing. Because he had stopped by first to his first brother's room but the room was empty .

" Sister left the office first .. he said he still has a lot of work," replied Arfan to his favorite sister.

" Abang Alif ma did not exclaim," said the princess with a frown.

" Yes dong this fried rice call. Look at the smell. It's princess's favorite," said Siska persuaded .

" Wah .. This is the princess's favorite" cried the princess . Although small, but the princess is a food lover. Especially if it is cooked squid .

Seeing the bustle of the princess made the three people who were watching her smile while shaking their heads. Even Arfan who had been moody earlier, immediately excited. Really a mood booster.

Alif waited for Aulia's arrival with anxious hopes . Moreover, his call could not connect at all . There were dozens of calls he called. None were answered .

Andre who had just come was surprised to see the behavior of Alif who was pacing in front of the door of his room. What happened until he was like that . Especially when he's on the phone not to pick her up. Things he never did unless there was a precarious situation.

" Assalamualaikum... again why the boss? ... wait for the wife of lahiran?" greet Andre with a little teasing.

" Borrow your cell phone ?" without answering Andre's greeting he borrowed Andre's phone . Though confused, Andre gave it to him.

" This is boss !"

Alif immediately picked up Andre's phone and dialed Aulia's number . The result is the same . " I'm sorry the number you're on is out of reach."

" Fuck !" alif with a rather high . Makes Andre tiptoe in shock . Things that Alif rarely let out.

" What's the problem boss ?"

" It seems... Aul blocked all our numbers" replied Alif .

" By the way Aulia mama nih ya .. kok tumben not yet nongol . Usually the most diligent," said Andre while wryly looking for the whereabouts of Aulia.

" Because he didn't come dodol !"

" Is it sick, boss ?"

" Have it.. giddy cave !" alif said as he left to enter his room. While Andre scratched his non-itchy nape .

Not finding an answer, Andre follows Alif into the room. He saw that Alif was still fiddling with his phone. It seems that he is still trying to contact Aulia .

" How about just going to her house ?" andre said to give advice.

" Do you know his house?"

" If I had stayed, I would have known the boss' house . If you do not do ngajak.. can-can be rough," replied Andre relaxed .

"Then wait for what else.we're leaving now!" break up Alif quickly. He immediately moved from the place he had just sat . Andre who saw Alif's behavior could only gawk .

" Why is still there ," jolted Alif , making Andre tiptoed in shock .

" Yes yes boss ... usual only time , napa ?" gerutu Andre can still be heard by Alif .

" Want to protest?"

" Not ... why try ? my salary could be deducted . No !!!"

" Father lebay ."

" Let's!"

Andre and Alif were still standing in front of the closed elevator . Shortly thereafter the elevator opened . Arfan appeared who came by carrying a package that had no idea what it contained .

" Where are you going?" ask Arfan normally . Because there was no one else but the three of them .

" There is a sudden business. What the hell are you here for?"

" There's a seat from Mama ."

" You just put it on the table . I have to hurry, let's go !"

Alif quickly entered the elevator . Followed Andre from behind him. While Arfan was glued to his place. Then by lunglai walked into Alif's room .

" Why did Aul's tumben, haven't come yet ?" muttered Arfan when he arrived in front of the table Aulia .

" Is it possible that Brother same bang Andre to Aul's house ?"

" Why are you standing here ? where's your brother ?" asked Musthofa who was suddenly behind Arfan . Makes Arfan shocked .

" No need not ngagetin can be pa ," protested Arfan to his papa while looking at the father who was not alone.

Beside him was a young woman, whom he did not know by name. I don't know what it's gonna take for that woman to come here . With his father .

" Answer the question, Papa !"

" Yes where Arfan knows . He said there's some important business outside ."

" Yes, then . This is Merlin she'll be a temporary secretary to Alif before Dinda gets back to work."

" Papa seriously ?"

" Two rius instead . Take it easy Merlin is only temporary before helping in his papa company . He was also a great secretary . So your brother doesn't have to worry" Musthofa said of Merlin .

Merlin is the son of Musthofa's friend who has just returned from abroad . Musthofa hopes Alif and Merlin can match . So Musthofa's friendly relationship with his papa Merlin could be even closer . It was his wish..do not know what will happen, when know the friend has other intentions under the pretext of matchmaking .
