Axel looked at his wife who was now sound asleep. The tears were clearly visible on her beautiful face that looked tired.
Sighing heavily. Axel rubbed Renata's head fondly. Didn't expect Renata to be hysterical like this. A bad incident that happened more than half a year ago traumatized Renata. Disappointed indeed, but this was not his will either. Axel believes that Renata also does not want this to happen.
It was better that Axel take a bath, his body was tired after the event last afternoon, and he also needed to do something else. His two heads were now very dizzy.
Renata opened her eyes when she heard water from the bathroom. She turned her sleep towards the bathroom, as if she wanted to go through a door or wall to see her husband inside. Her tears rolled back without her being able to manage. Hugged the blanket Axel had given her.
"Sorry, Xel. The shadow was too scary." muttered Renata sadly. He had strengthened his heart but still could not get the shadow out of his mind. The more Axel did the more, the more powerful the shadow was in his brain.
Renata was similarly tormented, but what could he do? Hopefully, Axel will accept his shortcomings that increase this one.

Tiara had just walked out from inside the house, she stopped stepping and stared in the opposite direction. Did he not see wrong? Isn't that Gio's car? What's the matter when he comes here early in the morning?
"Ah, not possible. Cars like that are many, really!" Tiara muttered and continued her footsteps toward the bus stop three hundred meters from her home.
Arrive at the office. Tiara stared at her boss's still-empty desk. Smile themselves. Not the boss, but his girlfriend. Laugh with amusement. But wait a minute. After their affair with Lea and Ken was over. Before that Tiara didn't want to put such high hopes on the man with this relationship.
Sighing in rough breath. Tiara immediately sat down at her desk and turned on her computer with the corner of a smiley lip.
What's up with him? Why did you expect that man to come sooner? Though usually he hopes if the man is even sick or whatever so he can not enter the office. He prayed that to the boss. Let it. Who told him to be mean and annoying!
Tiara chose to focus on her work. He better start and do his job quickly, yesterday's job is still not finished. Don't get it later if his boss, his girlfriend, umm.

Geck. Geck. Geck,
Gio woke up when he heard a knock from outside his window. An old man in an orange uniform holding a broom in his hand knocked on his window once more.
With a lazy movement Gio lowered his window glass.
"Sorry to interrupt, sir. This road wants to be cleaned, please move the car for a while. Can it?" He asked me kindly and politely. Gio just nodded still with red eyes. Drowsiness still dominates it.
Looking at the circular clock in hand, Gio was shocked. It's already half-nine, and he just woke up? OMG, but this is the first day Axel did not go to work. Drinya had to replace Axel for the next few days until his sister came home from their honeymoon.
"Damn!" Clucked with annoyance. Once again gazing towards Tiara's house, at this hour Tiara must have arrived at the office. Why did he wake up this night? And the main question, why did he fall asleep in the car in front of Tiara's house?
Either Gio has to curse or how. He immediately drove his car towards the apartment. Take a shower and change your clothes.
...*...
Tiara was bored. What more work should he do? Everything was done, even he had also finished the schedule of the next four days. Copy files and also learn materials for client meetings tomorrow.
Glanced at Gio's desk. It's almost ten and the man hasn't arrived yet. What the hell is he doing? Did that guy go with his CEO for his honeymoon?Imagine if Axel and Renata walk on the wooden dock of a green lake with friendly arms, while behind them walk Gio with two suitcases, and one backpack on his back. Let's say that Tiara was cruel to think about it, but Tiara was really imagining it now!
Was he guilty of thinking about this ridiculous thing? I don't know, and let it be...
Tiara got up from her seat, she brewed the coffee that was there. A few months working there made Gio understand with his favorite to provide coffee with one of the names of Indonesian animals.
The door opened as Tiara took a slow sip of her coffee. Gio walked into the office with a sweat on his forehead. Quiet at the door with a face like a b*doh person, looking at Tiara like a sexy and beautiful coffee advertising model. Stunned. Can't take his eyes off in the other direction. But that was not the only time Gio saw Tiara was like that.
Rubbing his non-itchy nape, Gio went in there closer to Tiara.
"Have you arrived?" what a stupid question! Of course it was before eight. Tiara wanted to curse her boss and lover, she waited boredly because Gio had not come.
"I don't think you're going to work. Follow Mr. Axel with honey." whether it's a joke or innuendo because he just arrived.
"Sorry, I just woke up."
"Just awake? What was the last night? peeking at Mr Axel the first night?" Inexplicably waiting made Tiara so emotional, unlike the usual who just looked down, obedient and also afraid. He was wrong, of course, he was right and still blamed.
"Yes sorry, sorry. I couldn't sleep last night. L'm.. Mind you.." Gio said with a red face. Gio turned his face to the side as he felt ashamed if Tiara saw the discoloration on his face.
The boss who is full of prestige, respect, and feared by his assistant can now only smile with embarrassment at such a gaze, the behavior is so cool and annoying this time even like a Kindergarten child who is afraid of being angry at the teacher for being late to the classroom.
Tiara pulled the two corners of her lips to the side. There was a wonderful feeling in his heart when Gio said that. Your thoughts .... So sweet's...
"From tomorrow morning I'll pick you up." said Gio at last.
Tiara smiled a small nod, will her love journey begin tomorrow?

Wait up!
"What about Alea?" Tiara asked with a sad look in her eyes.
"I'll call him if his number is active."
"Where are they going? From yesterday the number's off?" Tiara asked herself. His gaze stared at the brown-colored liquid that was in his hand. Still smelling smoke from its surface.
Gio drew closer to Tiara, took the coffee cup and put it on the table. Then pulled Tiara's body closer to her. He kept both of Tiara's hands past his shoulders, while both of his hands he kept at the lover's waist, sticking their eyebrows together until their noses collided.
"Don't worry, I'll take care of all that. You have to trust me, yeah. We're going through this together, okay?" gio calms Tiara. Tiara nodded.
"Morning kiss?" Gio looked at both of Tiara's eyes.
"It's noon, Mr. Gio. And take care of your attitude. We're in the office!"
