Ravella woke up early today because she cooked more than usual. In addition to preparing lunch for his children, Ravella also set aside some for Alarick. This is a form of gratitude for Alarick's help yesterday. More so that the man got the flu because it helped him.
Ravella put three boxes of food on the table, then went into her room. He himself will get ready to go to the office.
From the outside came the clattering of Marco's shoes and Mirel came closer to the door.
"Ma, we're leaving. The pickup car has arrived" Marco said farewell.
"Tumben's car came ten minutes early."
"Now there are two new children who are invited. So Om Yudi came early" replied Marco.
"Be careful. Studying the diligent. Don't forget to bring your food at the table" Ravella said, hugging Marco and Mirel.
"Yes, Ma, bye."
After her two children left for school, Ravella changed into a work shirt. Before exiting the room, he took one strip of the vitamin from the medicine box. Ravella recalls Mirel saying that Alarick had the flu. If so, he will give vitamins so that the man will recover soon.
"Mbak Sari, I'm leaving first. Later don't forget between Marco and Mirel buying equipment for art lessons."
"Yes, Mom."
Ravella rushes up on her bike and slides into the street. Because the streets were not very crowded, he arrived at the office at seven past five minutes.
After parking the motorbike, Ravella rushed up to the third floor. Initially he thought he would be the first person to set foot in the marketing room, in fact he was wrongly guessed. Alarick arrived first. The man looked healthy and no longer wore a mask like yesterday.
"Good morning, ma'am," said Alarick to see Ravella coming.
"Rick, what time are you leaving?"
"Maybe it's early than Mom. I remembered the advice from someone that marketing staff must be diligent. That's why I'm motivated to follow that advice" Alarick replied diplomatically. Ravella felt that Alarick's words were deliberately intended to satirize her.
"Good then," answered Ravella walking towards her desk. Since there was no one else in the room, Ravella decided to give her the supplies and vitamins she was carrying. Ravella placed the food box on Alarick's table.
"What is this, Mom?" alarick asked, raising one eyebrow.
"My thanks. And this one is a vitamin to increase endurance. Drink it so you can recover from the flu."
At first Alarick was confused, but then he understood what Ravella meant. It must have been the twins who reported to Ravella about the reason for wearing the mask.
"I'm fine, Mom. But thank you for your concern. I'll save it for lunch."
"Hmmm," Ravella replied back to her desk. He took a stack of documents and handed them to Alarick.
"Learn this, Rick. We'll go to Sentul after lunch."
"Good, Mom."
Ravella leaves Alarick and struggles with her own work. They are busy with their respective affairs until the noon break hour arrives.

"Rick, don't you buy food?" tanya Feri saw Alarick sitting casually at the cafeteria table.
"Some have brought you a bag. So I don't have to be as hard in line as you are" replied Alarick grinning.
Alarick's statement provoked the curiosity of his friends.
"That's great of you, Rick. Just moved to Bogor there is already a crush. Take a look at what food your girlfriend brought you," Iksan said curiously.
Alarick opened his provisions with a slow movement to make his friend more curious. And when the cover was fully exposed, Alarick was surprised to see the rice printed in the shape of a heart.
"Wuihh, love and love," Iksan teased Alarick.
"For the tips, Rick, how to make a girl fall in love. Your face is more innocent than mine but you can conquer a woman's heart. While I'm still single," complained Feri screeched.
Amidst their chat, Iksan saw Ravella carrying a tray while looking for an empty table.
"Mom, just sit here, you can still have one."
Ferries and Iksan immediately shifted to provide a seat for Ravella.
"Thank you, Fer," said Ravella. He was forced to sit next to Alarick because the place was empty.
Without saying much, Ravella ate the soto rice she ordered. He did not bring provisions for himself because he was more concerned with his twins.
"How does rice taste made with love? Sweeter or saltier, Rick?" goda Iksan continued their chat.
Alarick gave a smile without answering his friend's prank questions. After all he had to keep Ravella feeling because the woman was next to him.
Ravella almost choked on hearing Iksan's joke. Spontaneously, he glanced at the lunchbox Alarick was holding and his face heated up instantly. Now he knows what causes Feri and Iksan to keep teasing Alarick.
"Geez, that food was supposed to be for Marco. Why would it be confused with Alarick's? He could have mistaken me,"
thought Ravella was holding back the shame.
During this time, he always made food supplies with various shapes that are unique to Marco and Mirel. The goal is so that they are more excited to spend their supplies. But it was unexpected that Marco took the wrong box that was supposed to be for Alarick. And more unfortunate he printed the white rice in the shape of a heart.
"Rick, we're leaving now. I wait in the parking lot" Ravella said hurriedly. Right now Ravella wants to hide in an underground hole and not come to the surface.
Iksan and Feri were again made astonished to see Ravella's attitude.
"Why is Miss Ravella in such a hurry now?" tanya Feri squinted her eyes.
"Yes, he always forced Alarick away before lunch was over."
Alarick raises his shoulder while closing Ravella's feeding box.
"Maybe it's because Ms. Ravella is pursuing a sales target. I go first, yes" replied Alarick following Ravella. Actually Alarick was quite happy to get a sweet surprise from Ravella. It's just that he's not interested in a love affair with a widow with two children.
...****************...
Marco and Mirel are waiting for the arrival of their nanny at the school gate. They promised to go to the stationery shop after the study hours were over. Long enough they've been standing there, but the nanny didn't show up either.
"Sister, where the hell is Miss Sari? It's hot here," complained Mirel wiping his forehead with a tissue.
"I don't know either" Marco replied equally regretfully.
The twin boys' attention was distracted when they saw the luxury car stop right in front of them. Not long after, a man in a gray suit came out of the car. The man's appearance was very neat. His face is also handsome. The adult man walked over to Marco and Mirel with sparkling eyes.
"What are your names Marco and Mirel?" ask the gentleman.
Marco and Mirel looked at each other with confused gazes.
"Yes, I'm Marco, and this is my sister, Mirel. Om who? Why do we know our names?" marco asked cautiously.
Without answering Marco's question, the man immediately hugged his two twins.
"Finally we can meet as well" he said, shedding tears.
Marco and Mirel rebel from the foreign man's arms.
"Don't hug! Want to kidnap us, right?" marco thrashed.
"No, Marco. I am your biological father...Steven," Steven replied unable to stem his sense of well-being.
