The time has shown at two noon, is the time that is always awaited by employees who are in the office.

Ranum took the car keys out of his bag and immediately left his desk.

''Ranum, where are you going?'' asked Maya who was surprised to see her best friend who seemed to be in a hurry.

''I have to pick El up, it's time for him to go home from school.'' Ranum replied.

''Eitsss.'' said Maya prevented the departure of her best friend and co-worker.

''At three we still have a meeting, as well as an official introduction with our new boss.'' said Maya reminded.

''Oh my God, how is this? El must have been waiting said Ranum confused.

''Tell Judah to pick up El, he will be willing.'' Maya proposed.

''Yuda must be busy right now, I don't want to bother him.'' Ranum said as he glanced at the black leather clock coiled around his left wrist.

''He is the boss, the boss is just sitting around at his job.'' said Maya.

''May, if I don't go to a meeting what? I am not a permanent employee here, Ranum asked.

''Oh, I can't. Mr. Andre said all divisions must join the meeting this afternoon, Maya replied.

Ranum was so worried. He had to pick up his son immediately but in an hour he also had to attend a meeting with the officials of the company where he worked.

''There is still time.'' said Ranum in his heart.

''May, as always!'' said Ranum immediately rushed to leave Maya.

''Woi! Well, the habit of the child.'' Maya grumbled, but in his heart felt salute and pity on his best friend.

The streets of the city this afternoon seem a little quiet. Ranum began to increase the speed of his vehicle to immediately arrive at Elzein school. After twenty minutes of travel, Ranum arrived just as the school's return hour had arrived. He immediately looked for his son from the crowd of children who had rushed out of the classroom.

''Mama!'' elzein shouted as he looked at his mother. Ranum waved his hand at his son. Soon they get in the car and wear seat belts.

''My mom has to go back to the office again because she still has meetings. El come with mama for a minute?'' ranum said before starting the engine.

''OK, El will come with mom and be a good boy.'' said Elzein with a charming smile.

''Thank you very much. Let's go!''

Now, Ranum takes Elzein into his study. Incidentally in the room, there was only his desk and Maya's desk.

''Hello adoptive mama.'' greet Elzein with his very charming smile upon entering the room.

''Hello son mama Maya, you just came home from school huh?'' ask Maya about Elzein.

''Hu'um.'' Elzein nodded his head.

''Right on time, let's go to the meeting room before it's too late.'' asked Maya.

''Awhile!''

''My dear, my mother will go for a moment. You wait here and don't go anywhere.'' Ranum warned his son.

''Ready, mom!'' elzein replied obediently.

''Why wear a mask? You sick?'' asked Maya who saw Ranum take a face mask from inside her bag.

''Still the smell of cravings? Though the age of El is now almost five years old.'' Maya seductress.

''It seems so.'' Ranum said with a chuckle.

They walked to the meeting room on the fifth floor. The fifth floor of the company was deliberately dedicated to holding various events, ranging from meetings, banquets, year-end parties, and other events. And a few company leaders had gathered there. Each of them had sat on a chair that was already installed in their name.

On the other side of the room, Elzein was busy with his toys. He composed various pieces of his favorite Lego blocks. However, when he was busy playing, suddenly Elzein felt like urinating. He ran to the toilet near his mother's office.

''Uh, deck. The toilet is being repaired, said the officer in charge of repairing the toilet.

''Ouch, El kebelit peed om. El peed in the girls' toilet? El is a boy.'' said Elzein while holding his legs so as not to wet the bed.

''Then you can pee on the fourth floor or on the second floor below.

''Also really. Thank you, said Elzein immediately ran up the stairs to the fourth floor.

He immediately went into one of the toilet rooms to complete his wishes.

''Lega.'' he said.

Elzein immediately walked out and washed his hands while facing the mirror. He began washing his hands with soap to clean and styling his hair to look neat like an adult who is styling his hair. Unexpectedly, next to him stood a neat-looking man also washing his hands and tidying his hair a little neat. Elzein glanced at the grown man. He was amazed at the grown man standing next to him.

''Well, om is very handsome.'' said Elzein innocently.

The man realized that there was a little boy next to him.

''Who are you?'' said Agam with a bit of surprise.

''Introduce my name is Elzein Japa, but mama and the others always call me El.'' said Elzein as he raised his hand to shake his hand.

''Why are you here? Where are your parents? Could it be to let a small child roam around here alone?'' ask Agam.

''Um, om very handsome. Om is very suitable and meets the criteria to become papa El.'' said Elzein with a sparkling gaze. He ignored Agam's previous question.

''What are you talking about?'' said Agam was amazed by the words of the little boy in front of him.

''What's the name om? Why just shut up?'' ask Elzein.

''Mama said, Papa El is tall and very handsome. And om is a very handsome and cool person. Would you like to be my dad?'' ask Elzein back.

''What the fuck are you?'' said Agam was surprised and a little upset.

''Do you want om?'' please Elzein again.

''Go there, find your parents! It could be to let a little boy like you wander alone here. After all this is an office, not right to play.'' grumbled Agam.

''If om does not want to say the name om, then I will call om with the name papa handsome. How?'' elzein said again with a blink of his eye.

''Hey little boy, do you meet any handsome men you would call papa too?'' ask Agam.

''Of course not, only om will be my papa.'' replied Elzein innocently.

Suddenly, from the other direction came the figure of a man walking towards them and calling Elzein quite loudly. The two men of different ages turned to look at the source of the sound.

''El!'' said the man.
