The Extraordinary Duda
Guests Not Invited

In the morning, Amber woke up. The woman was shocked to discover that she had slept inside her employer's office.

Amber looked at the blanket that covered her body, then immediately exposed the blanket in panic.

"Thank God," the woman murmured softly. He was lucky because all the clothes he was wearing were still stuck to his body perfectly. Given Arion's temperament that almost always wanted to pounce on him, Amber thought the man would do something while he was unconscious.

After quite a long time recalling what had happened a few hours ago, Amber let out a long breath. He saw an empty bottle of wine and their two used glasses last night. The drink was what made him almost lose consciousness.

After a long period of silence and daydreaming, Amber immediately rushed out of Arion's study. Luckily, the room is unlocked, as only Arion can open it.

Amber returns to Aara's room and finds the little girl still soundly asleep. The woman was relieved and headed for the bathroom to clean herself up.

...****************...

At seven on Sunday, Amber and Aara were already getting ready in tidy clothes. They were going to the ballet house for training classes like they used to do every weekend. Before that, the two of them walked out of the room towards the dining room.

"Daddy!" Aara shouted, calling her father who was already sitting in his chair.

"Hi, little girl. Howwasyoursleep? Wakeless?" ask Arion. He lifted Aara up and sat the boy on his lap.

"Hm. Mama Amber accompanied me," replied Aara.

"Mama Amber?" Someone came suddenly without an invitation. With an ominous look on her face, Dayana approached Arion and Aara who were shocked by her arrival. While Amber was about to sit down, undo her intentions. He took several steps back to honor Dayana's arrival.

"Granny! Aara now has Mama, this is Mama Amber" Aara told her grandmother.

"Arion, what the hell is this!" exciting Dayana. He ignored the granddaughter who was so enthusiastic about introducing Amber to him.

While exhaling violently, Dayana sat down beside Arion. He looked at Amber with a dislike. Although in terms of appearance Amber is a neat and beautiful woman, in fact Dayana is already prejudiced about the woman.

"Sit down with Mama Amber, honey. We have breakfast first," Arion's pinta while lowering Aara from her lap. Again Dayana frowned, actually what happened in this house? his inner.

Aara pulled Amber's hand and took the woman to a chair. Although Amber was aware of Dayana's dislike, the woman couldn't simply reject Aara's invitation.

"So now you also let your nanny sit here and eat with you?" ask Dayana to Arion.

"Ma!" scold the man. "We'll talk later, let's have breakfast!" emphatically.

There was an impolite snort from the middle-aged woman beside Arion. Amber tries to stay calm and patient. Here, working for Arion and Aara, he feels that only Arion and Aara have the right to rule and expel him if they are not pleased with his presence.

Breakfast went fast despite the sound of spoons and dishes Dayana clashed faster than others. This morning Arion was supposed to take Amber and Aara to the ballet house. But the presence of Dayana, made the man undo his intentions.

"Darling, Daddy's beautiful son. I'm sorry Daddy didn't take you today, yeah. Daddy has to talk to Grandma" Arion said. He knelt down in front of Aara to align their height.

"Hm." Aara nodded without protest.

"Miss Amber, please take good care of Aara" Arion said.

"Good, Sir." Amber was polite. "Come, Madam." He said goodbye to Dayana standing beside Arion. Yet it was only the cynical smile that Amber had gotten from the middle-aged woman.

"Come, Honey!" Amber takes Aara's small hand, takes her out of the house and leaves for ballet.
