"What's wrong?" Alex asked after opening the door to his room.

"Yes, geez... I don't see Alex's face." Inner Alen while staring at the tangled face of the brother.

"Aren't you okay?" Alen asked, pushing his sister's shoulder slightly so that there was a gap to enter the room.

"Yes. Is there anything you need?" Ask Alex to come in and close the door.

"none. Just worried about my sister's unusual attitude." Alen replied after sitting on the edge of Alex's bed.

"What's wrong with sister?" Alex asked, frowning and sitting next to Alen.

"So it seems like there's a problem." Alen pretended not to know.

"What looks clear?" Alex asked himself.

"Looks like missus needs something." Alex said when he heard a noise on a special device in his room.

"Did you know I wanted to tell Alex the truth?" Alen murmured in his heart.

"What do you want to say?" Alex asked who was already standing and looked at the mirror in front of him while confirming his appearance.

"Not so, Brother. Brother will know for sure later." Alen replied, standing up and staring at the reflection of the brother in the mirror.

"Yes, already. I'll go to the lady's room. You wanna come?" Alex turned to look at his sister.

"No, Brother. I have something to do." Alen answered.

"Hm."

"Do you need anything, miss?" Alex asked when he was in front of his boss.

"I want you to check some files on my desk. Everything has to be done before 11 p.m. That means you have only two hours left. After that, head to the head office because there is an important meeting that requires you to help Mentra there." Rihan replied while staring at Alex.

"It's not usually that the lady asks someone else to check the file when she has free time. And also, why didn't Mentra contact me first about the meeting?" Alex muttered in his heart feeling something strange.

"There's something I need to do so I'm asking you to check the files. For Mentra's problem, you can ask her directly if you feel confused." Keep Rihan on looking at Alex's forehead. Rihan knows, Alex must have felt weird.

"Good, Miss. Then I'll say goodbye." Alex bowed respectfully to the employer then headed for Rihan's study.

"Hm."

"Len, come to my room now!" Rihan said to the intercom at his bedside after Alex came out of his room.

***

"Since when have there been this many files on your desk?" Alex asked confusedly to himself, because at first the employer never piled up this much files to check, unless he had other activities.

"I've only had two hours to check this many files? Oh, my.!" Alex complains about taking the files on Rihan's desk and putting them on another table for inspection.

"Why should a rejected proposal be here as well?" Alex spoke for himself.

Alex can only shake his head when he has found two maps that he examined containing cooperation proposals from other companies that have been rejected by Rihan.

"What did the lady plan to do with this rejected proposal?" Alex muttered in his heart as he continued to open sheet by sheet of files in his hand.

...

"Help me get ready, Len. After that accompany Phiranita for a while. I have something to do." Said Rihan to Alen who had just arrived.

"Good, Miss. I'll prepare your bath water."

"Hm."

"The water bath is ready, Miss." Report the new Alen

get out of the bathroom.

"Hm."

"Sorry, Miss. Where's Alex's brother? I didn't see him in your room when he arrived. Though as far as I know the lady called Alex's sister." Alen asked as he gently stroked Rihan's shoulder.

"Alex is checking some files in my workspace. " Answer Rihan.

"Good, Miss."

After helping the master prepare, Alen pamphit and headed to Phiranita's room.

"It's me, Miss." Alen greets Phiranita first to open the door of her room, because Phiranita can only open the door if the one who knocks must tell who she is, and also she must be a woman. It was all because of his trauma.

"Come in, brother." Reply Phiranita from the inside.

"Miss Phi needs something?" Alen asked looking at Phiranita who was lying down while reading a novel book on her bed.

"I want to learn to cook, brother. Teach me, yeah." Phiranita answered after waking up and placed the novel she read beside her.

"Study cooking now?" Alen asked with eyes glaring because the clock had shown at 21:30. That clock Phiranita should have rested.

"Yes, Brother. I can't sleep. Ehan was also said to be busy, so it was Alen's sister who had to accompany me. Please..." Phiranita put on a clear face while her hands were clutched under her chin. Alen who saw it became unstoppable to reject this cute face in front of him.

"Alright, Miss. Come on follow me!" Alen extended his hand to Phiranita.

"Yes! Brother Alen is the best," Phiranita spirit then reached Alen's hand and got out of bed.

The two then head to the kitchen to begin the ritual of learning to cook.

"Is there anything we can help you with, miss?" Ask a waitress who happened to be passing by in the kitchen.

"Nothing, Bi. We just want to cook for a while. Auntie don't care about us." Answer Alen flat.

"Good, Miss."

After the waiter's departure, Alen opened the refrigerator wanting to pick up ingredients for cooking.

"Feel what you want to learn?" Alen asked while taking out the spices from inside the refrigerator.

"Beat steak. What about Brother Alen? Steak is my favorite food, so I want to learn how to cook it." Phiranita answered with a sweet smile.

"Eum... I will prepare the ingredients for a while. What meat do you want to wear?" Alen asked at the end of his sentence while looking at the row of meat in the refrigerator.

"Cow meat, Brother." Phiranita answered while propping her chin up on the table then looked at Alen.

"Good."

"So.. first of all, what should we do, brother? And also what ingredients are needed to make beef steak?" Phiranita asked as she stared at the assortment of spices on the table that almost all were not known what her name was.

"A lot of material, brother. Wait a minute, I took a photo of these materials. At the same time record whatever Alen's brother says. I'm afraid to forget."

"Continue, Brother." Phiranita said when she finished taking pictures of the materials on the table and also activated the sound recording.

"First, slice the meat wide but not too thin." Alen gave instructions while slicing the beef as he said.

"Gee... Cool! Let me try, brother." Phiranita then took the position of wanting to take the knife in Alen's hand.

"It." Alen then gave the knife in his hand to Phiranita.

"Like this, brother?" Phiranita asked when she managed to slice a piece of meat according to the size instructed by Alen.

"Ready, Mrs Boss." Phiranita excitedly then continued the activity of slicing meat in front of her.

"aww... Sis." Ringis Phiranita when accidentally his hand sliced a little on the index until it bleed quite a lot.

"God... Missis! Why aren't you careful? Let me see your wounds." Alen was surprised and immediately approached Phiranita.

Alen quickly pulled Phiranita's hand carrying her near the water faucet and allowed the water to wet the part of her finger that was sliced by the knife.

"Come with me, let me treat it." Alen said softly and then brought Phiranita to sit down. Alen then took out a box of P3K and began treating Phiranita's wounds.

"Sister... I feel dizzy. Looks like..."

"Miss... Miss Phi..." Call Alen in a panic because Phiranita suddenly fainted.

"What's up with Tata?"

Hearing that flat voice, Alen stiffened in place.

"Sir..." Alen was suddenly nervous, because for the first time he saw the employer's angry face.

"What have you done to Tata?" Ask Rihan flat. Rihan puts on an angry face seeing his best friend pass out in Alen's arms.

"Sa... I'm sorry, sir, it's my fault. I'm..."

"What's your fault, whose fault is it besides you here?" Rihan cut out Alen's words.

"I'm sorry, sir. I'm really sorry!"

"I'm disappointed in you, Len. Completely disappointed," Rihan pressed down on the disappointed word, then took his fainted best friend and carried her towards the second floor.

"I'm sorry, Miss." Alen's voice softened after Rihan was no longer there. Unknowingly the crystal feathers in both of Alen's eyes fell down on his cheeks.

Alen sat down and began to cry out for his stupidity. Alen knew this was simply not his fault, as Phiranita fainted as well as the result of him accidentally slicing her finger. However, Alen will still be blamed for being there when Phiranita fainted.

And for the first time he saw anger and disappointed look in the eyes of the master. Alen though in order to become a known cold expressionless, but she was only a woman who could only let out her tears if blamed by people she respected so much. The one who Alen was willing to exchange his life for his safety. Alen could only cry at this moment.

Alen knows very well if the anger and disappointed look of the employer to him because the employer is very fond of his best friend who is like a brother to him.

"Hey... Is it with you, Len?" Alex asked suddenly in a panic when he wanted to take a drink and was presented with the condition of the Alen who was sitting hugging his knee and crying.

"Sister... Hiks.hiks. What should I do, brother?" Alen replied with a hiccup to the older brother.

"What have you done? Come on, tell brother." Alex's voice was soft and then pulled the sister into his arms.

"Miss Phi fainted from accidentally slicing her hand. And miss is really disappointed in me for that, sister. Hiks... What am I supposed to do?" Alen's story in Alex's arms.

"Come, come with brother and apologize to miss."

***

"Master... Hiks.. I'm sorry." Alen was still crying.

"I also apologize on behalf of my sister, Sir." Alex spoke out loud.

"Your job is done?" Rihan asked Alex flatly as he continued to stare at his best friend who was asleep in his stupor.

"Not yet Sir, I..."

"Time's up at 23:02, and your work isn't done yet?" Rihan cut Alex's words.

"I'm sorry sir, I'll finish it after this."

"When will you leave for America to help at headquarters?" Rihan's words made Alex shut up.

"What's with your performance? I'm really disappointed." Rihan then walked out of Phiranita's room to her room.

"Hiks... Sis." Alen shed his tears.
