The Extraordinary Duda
Drink Together

As expected Arion, tonight he came home late because of the many jobs in the company that made him have to work late on the weekend.

Because the company is preparing to launch a new product to the market, then inevitably Arion also has to watch everything carefully so as not to make a mistake.

Eleven o'clock in the evening, Arion just arrived at his residence. The man went straight to the study to put down his laptop bag and some important files. After that, he went to clean himself before seeing the state of the baby.

After changing clothes, Arion headed for Aara's room. The man knocked on the door several times, but there was no sound of Amber telling him.

Arion wants to return to his room, but he feels uneasy before seeing firsthand that Aara is doing well.

Finally, the man opened the room door slowly. Luckily, Amber didn't lock it.

Behind the door, Arion peeked a little. The little girl was sleeping peacefully while hugging a beloved doll. The man smiled, he was relieved that Aara was fine.

But strangely, Arion does not see Amber in the room of the child. The man scrunched his forehead, trying to find Amber's whereabouts by opening the room door wider.

"Where is he?" arion gumam.

"Didn't I tell him to stay the night? Did he go home and leave Aara alone?"

Arion took a long breath. He finally went into the room and closed the door. He thinks that Amber has broken her orders and goes home leaving Aara sleeping alone.

Arion approached Aara, she sat on the edge of the mattress while gently rubbing her little girl's cheek. Aara slept soundly, she was completely unaware of the presence of the father.

As Arion gave one small kiss on her child's forehead, there was the sound of the bathroom door opening. Arion immediately turned his gaze, turning to the woman who had just walked out from there.

"Miss Amber" said Arion. "I thought you were home" he continued.

"Didn't you ask me to stay over? I can't sleep. So, I went to the bathroom to wash my face" Amber replied.

"Why? You're not comfortable sleeping here?"

"No, I'm just not used to sleeping in someone else's house."

"Drink?" Amber cringing.

"Hmm, I have a large collection of wine in my work space. We can drink while we chat."

Amber was silent for a moment, she stared at Arion's handsome face with those brownish irises. It was a pity if he refused the offer of the employer, after all Amber could not sleep, he finally agreed with Arion's invitation.

Arion invites Amber into his study. The man showed off a variety of wine collections of various types and brands. Arion is a wine lover, he buys wine from different countries to feel the difference.

"Is all this wine alcoholic?" ask Amber. He saw one glass bottle in front of him.

"Not all, just some."

"Why do you like wine? I think all this kind of expensive wine."

"Because for me, the drink was able to help me relieve stress and calm down. Each bottle has a different taste even though it is made from the same basic ingredients. Every country has its own way of processing, which is why I like to collect it."

"Wow, the price is definitely not cheap" muttered Amber. The woman saw the bottle on the top glass shelf.

"Is this alcoholic?" ask Amber.

"The alcohol level is mild. You wanna try it? This is the best wine from England."

"Can?"

"Hmm, of course." Arion nodded. He took two glasses of glass from under the shelf and opened the bottle in Amber's hand.

They toast together, enjoy the pleasure of wine with a distinctive aroma.
