Hampton New York's.
Joey's car arrived at a typical American home in the Hampton area, where the wealthy lived. The house belonging to the Hamilton family is among the simplest in shape compared to its surroundings. Although simple from the outside, if it has entered into it, of course different atmosphere.
The impression of expensive and luxurious is felt inside with a variety of furniture and other equipment that is sophisticated. Ezra and Keia were indeed born into a wealthy family, accustomed to having small luxury items but not making both of them arrogant. The Al Jordan family's upbringing makes Keia a woman whose life is haunted not a luxury goods maniac.
At first Ezra was like a rich man's child in general but after being with Keia who was santuy, bar-bar and nyeleneh, made him change even go as whimsical as his wife's cousin.
The four of them entered the house and Keia seemed to welcome her daughter and nephew.
"Why are Dubai kids going to New York?" tease Keia.
"Squeak the future wife" replied Alaric indifferently as he kissed Keia's cheek.
Keia nodded as she clasped her nephew's shoulder. "Benazir or Nura it's good Aunt called" asked Keia to Nura.
"Just aunty. Benazir's nickname in the hospital" smiles Nura while kissing the back of Keia's hand.
Alea hugged her mommy.
"Let's go in the middle room. Aunty has prepared a lot of snacks while waiting for dinner." Keia walked over while being embraced by Alea.
In the living room, Keia asked about the wedding preparations for Direndra and Raana. Alaric only knew that his brother preferred the Pratomo clan style that did not want complicated.
"It is only Rendra's eldest son, heir to the title Emir Al Azzam so inevitably there are Arab customs used" said Alaric.
"When do you want to be with Nura?" ask Keia.
"Benben graduated Aunt."
"Where is Oom Ezra, Tan?" ask Joey.
"There's a Hamilton family meeting, internally so Auntie's not coming."
"What's the case with Rochester that's still going on?" kekeh Joey's. Hamilton's family had a long feud with the Rochester family and even the Rochester family almost nudged the McCloud family. (Read My Cold Chef Bonchap Family Feud ).
"I don't think Joey, it's Hamilton's internal business so Al Jordan doesn't go along" Keia smiled. "Ohya, where did you go but pick up Alaric?"
"Meet my friend, Auntie. His name is Chris Bradford in Manhattan" Joey replied.
"Who is Chris Bradford?" ask Keia.
"The NYPD cop who used to meet me at the hospital. He wanted to get acquainted with Alea" Joey replied as he was.
"Is he handsome?" kerling Keia to Alea who looked down with a reddened face. "Lea, same bang Joey n bang Al sakep who?"
"Mom.." Alea's great-grandson.
"Oh same Daddy saucy where?" tease Keia into her only daughter who is known to be shy and introverted.
"Lha if Oom Ezra is old, Auntie" chirped Alaric who immediately hit a pillow by Keia.
"Just kid! Oom Ezra still knows!" keia said that made Joey stupefied.
"Tone of these two!" joey's ripple and Nura's smile. "There are still singles, Auntie alike must be patient to sharpen."
"You're the same, J! There is no filter!" keia murmur.
"Kan Aunty already knows that the Bianchi Family is famous for its slenge?"
"Sorry, madam. Dinner's ready" a waiter interrupted the riot in the living room.
"Yuk we have dinner first. Oom Ezra had eaten the most at Hamilton's residence in the Upper West" Keia asked.

Joey and Alaric deliver Nura to her apartment after a dinner with Keia and Alea. Tonight Alaric will be staying at the Joey area residence in Battery Park in Lower Manhattan.
Alea himself had told about his meeting with Chris to the mother Keia so as not to misunderstand. Moreover, she is not the type of girl who wants to advance first to get acquainted with the opposite sex outside of work.
"So Joey introduced you because Chris was looking for a future wife?" Keia looked at her daughter.
"Yes mom and I thought there was no harm in me starting to open up."
"Also if your brother says he's a good guy, chances are he is. Mom's sure Joey wouldn't carelessly introduce someone if he didn't know."
"Mommy does not forbid you to be friends with anyone, Lea but if you have a mate, do not be rejected. Later let mommy ask help Oom Bryan screening Chris, so that ayem is."
"Mooommm, I didn't say I hadn't thought of a household yet."
"Alea darling, if your soul mate is nongol, will you refuse? The one whose name is soul mate is unexpected. Mommy and Daddy. Mommy was fiancee, your Daddy was rejected Aunt Danisha and we met at the airport directly click. You could say mommy's soul mate was muter-muter used to be a kind of trance. Maybe Chris is your soul mate, maybe not but mommy is glad you want to be friends with people outside the family cycle even though his acquaintance Joey."
Alea simply fell silent at Keia's words.

Alea walked into her room on the second floor and immediately opened the large door leading to the balcony. The air in this spring is very refreshing with fragrant flowers, especially the mommy flower big fan. His cousin's brother, Rama McCloud, often helped his mommy to organize the back garden.
Mas Rama is indeed a lover of plants so it fits mommy.
The sound of her phone notification made Alea turn towards the nightstand and pick it up. Chris Bradford on his phone screen.
Alea opened the message.
📩 Chris Bradford : Assalamualaikum miss Hamilton. Have you reached home?
Alea smiled. Miss Hamilton? What office am I in again?
📩 Alea Hamilton : Wa'alaikum greetings. Just call Alea 'cause we're not in the office, right?
📩 Chris Bradford : Okay ... Aleu.
Alea's face flushed slightly.
📩 Chris Bradford : Already home?
📩 Alea Hamilton : Already. Ye?
📩 Chris Bradford : Still in Downtown will patrol soon but my partner is still in the bathroom.
📩 Alea Hamilton: Is it dangerous to patrol nights like this?
📩 Chris Bradford : Risks of Alea's work. Oh, I've been able to find out about your Opamu, Ghani Giandra and Raymond Ruiz. They're famous captains in Manhattan and Brooklyn.
📩 Alea Hamilton : Yes, the last rank is indeed Captain as far as I know.
Suddenly Alea's phone rang into a voice call and nervously the girl accepted it.
"A... Assalamualaikum.." said Alea.
"Wa'alaikum salam. Sorry I'm tired of thumbs" chuckled Chris who made Alea smile. "Not sleeping Alea?"
"Be. You haven't.. patrol?" ask aalea slowly.
"In a moment." Chris' voice disappeared when it was crowded - crowded in the background of his cellphone voice. "Sorry Alea, I have to go. Duty calls. I'll call you again."
"I.iya. Be careful" Alea said.
"Thank you Alea." Chris turned off his call.
Alea stared at her darkened phone screen while patting her chest softly.
Oh Allah.
