The Love I Don't Miss
Part 86 (Being the Center of Attention in Lobby )

Coming out of Kenzo's study, Zio and Zahra looked just as awkward. Never been like that before. Zahra only looked down deeply while she was in the same elevator as Zio. While Zio occasionally stole a glance, but did not dare to say a word.

Until the elevator they ride arrives on the floor where they work. The two come out in turn, with Zahra coming out first on hand-coded from Zio. Zahra was about to turn to enter her study, but...

"Can you come into my room now?" asked Zio to encourage Zahra to speak seriously.

Without daring to refuse, Zahra could only nod according to the orders of her superiors.

Sitting face to face, the two were reunited in a very stiff and awkward situation.

"Do you think my daughter was speaking honestly and as is?" tanya Zio started the conversation.

Zahra was silent for a while before replying, "I don't know Miss Clarice very well, sir. So I don't really understand how he talks seriously and jokes..." Zahra ended the answer with a smile.

"If.. What Clarice said was serious, and I was really following the advice of Mr. Kenzo and Mr. Gilang, would you be willing to marry me?" ask Zio again - again ventured.

Zahra just kept her head down, "I don't know, sir," she replied later. "Because I've never thought of this before." Zahra shook her head slowly.

Zio was silent. He hesitated to continue the conversation, even though he wanted to chat longer. Zahra was also a widow who lived dead her husband. Perhaps there is a fear within the woman.

"You may have heard a lot about my dark story so far." said Zio. "I was in Calina's house when I started to love her. Then I'm just like you, the one who lives dead the one we love the most... And the sadness you felt back then, I've also experienced."

"And from the story of my own life, I can now conclude. That I can be a jerk to one person, but also an angel to another."

"From that, Zahra, I don't want to be an angel, nor do I want to be a jerk!"

Zahra was still listening to Zio's story. Which direction he did not know.

 "I want to be myself." - Zio stared fixedly at Zahra's eyes which also led to him. "For that.. Can you help u to make it happen?" asked Zio in a very shahdu tone.

"I mean, Father?" ask Zahra who does not want to interpret Zio's own words. Even though he started to know where Zio was talking.

Zio took a deep breath, and hid it slowly. Along to unravel the nervousness that burst in the chest of the widower.

"Stop working, and marry me...."

A pair of Zahra's eyes opened wide. Staring into Zio's eyes with a gaze between trust and disbelief with a serious sentence Zio said.

Zahra sighed harshly while looking down deeply...

The wall clock shows at half-four in the afternoon. It is time for all employees to go home. Except those who get overtime hours.

All employees must have been in the clock was flocked to go down to the ground floor through the elevator alternately.

The situation on the ground floor was already quite crowded by the employees who were preparing to go home. Someone was still chatting on the sofa lobby. There were also those who stood at the reception desk to gossip first, as it was clear they were working in different rooms.

Some even replace their work shoes with simple flat shoes in the front area of the lobby. On average they are women who commute to work using a motorbike.

And as it all went on, absolutely no one would have expected that anyone would suck the attention of all of them. The CEO's small family.

Where when all was engrossed in their respective conversation flow, the elevator door for the company officials opened.

For those who were talking about Clarice calling Zio Papa, of course they turned to the elevator door.

Similarly, those who were talking about the figure of the woman who brought Galen, and called Mommy by the Little Young Master, of course also turned their heads.

Or, those who recognize Calina as Zio's ex-wife, would also turn their heads after explaining to those who do not know. Out of curiosity as to what position Calina was in, why did she come with Galen?

Since noon the company has been in a scene with allegations - allegations that are on the reef itself by the mouth - a mouth that is good at making up stories. And the answer is now just counting seconds.

Who is behind the elevator doors of the company?

The CEO, is it?

The General Manager, is it?

Or Calina Agasta?

Then the next moment has come...

Black work shoes step, out first from behind the door. Followed by step shoes flat shoes in black a woman. Yes, he is the CEO and his family.

For those who were in the elevator area, until frozen and stunned even forgot to greet the Boss, he said, at the sight of how their CEO clasps possessively into the hands of a woman they believe to be Mrs Kenzo Adhitama.

A position many women dream of out there. Even within the company itself. The luckiest woman on Earth is Calina Agasta. The widow has one child whose beauty is typical of the Village Flower.

When Kenzo steps into the Lobby, what happens is much more freezing. All eyes, all focused as if sucked at one point that was walking by clasping each other's hands.

They forget to say hello to their CEO. Which is usually they will immediately alert and scramble to get attention. Even though no one got it. Even just a glance. And one word 'Hm!' it was enough for Kenzo to return the greetings of the company's top brass.

Walking without looking left-right is a hallmark of a Kenzo Adhitama while in company. So that 36-year-old man did not look awkward at all. Because the carrier is very indifferent and cold to the people in the company.

In contrast to the wife who clearly looks awkward and nervous, when it suddenly became the center of attention by all eyes in the Lobby. He just kept smiling, even though he didn't know who to show him. What is clear is that he can only look down to avoid the gaze of his eyes met with the gaze of the people inside there.

Which was visible from the tail of his eyes, there were some gazes that seemed to want to swallow him alive. Yes, maybe it's the gaze of people who expect the figure of Kenzo as their husband. Or maybe they are big fans of the CEO?

I don't know, the mother of two can only think in her mind, without her entering into the heart. Because in fact, all this time, only he was clear - clearly in the company's arms of a Kenzo.

Kenzo and Calina's steps are close to the exit that opens automatically. But the eyes of the employees are still pointing at them. Even the people who were outside, had been stalking them since they were still inside the Lobby.

The white Alphard car, waiting for the owner to enter it. Where the door immediately shifts when Kenzo and Calina are seen exiting the glass door that opens automatically.

"P..Pa...Sir.." stutters an employee whose focus is split everywhere. But his eyes did not blink looking at the CEO and Calina in turn.

Of course a Kenzo will not answer ambiguous greetings that he thinks are unreasonable or disrespectful.

Yes, Kenzo has a much different mind to ordinary people who used to humble wherever they were.

Clarice was asked to get in the car first. Then Calina, after Galen, and then the CEO went in the back and sat down next to the open door.

The rear car door starts to close by shifting slowly. Breaking the gazes of the employees who seemed to want to interrogate the happy family. But of course Kenzo won't care.

The white iron horse with a price range of 1 M was speeding away from the front area of the Lobby. Also leave the employees who immediately rush. Until it makes a noise.

So that the Lobby that had frozen, immediately crowded because of each other kusuk fileak. Of course talking about the hot news that just passed. Even whatsApp groups are immediately crowded by CCTV footage that is in the Lobby.

The CCTV guard is very smart, right?

Although they were not in the location, of course they did not miss the rare moment. Where everyone finally knows who Miss Clarice's mother and little Young Master Galen is.

In the car ...

"They all look at me like I'm fine!" calina murmured as the car started leaving the company area.

Kenzo laughed at his lips. Half-dead he refrained from laughing.

"How come you're laughing anyway, Mas?" calina asked an annoyed glance at the husband beside her.

Instead of answering, Kenzo chuckled again.

"Yes. 'cause you're a fine meal, honey!" kenzo answered, glancing mischievously at his wife.

And Calina knows the meaning of Kenzo's eye glance.

"I'm talking seriously, Mom!" hiss Calina.

"Me too.." said Kenzo very lightly even meiuk - contortion.

"But the look in your eyes is like that." - Calina.

"Why?" ask Kenzo doesn't feel like doing anything.

"That's it, don't talk about me!" calina. "You're always sniffy in front of them?"

"It should be like that as a leader, honey!'

"So it seems arrogant!" insinuations Mrs Kenzo.

"Yaaa. But as leaders, if we don't have that kind of character, they'll find us easily underestimated!"

Calina listened carefully to the husband's explanation.

"I have absolutely no arrogant intent! It's just that if we are too friendly, sometimes they will think 'Ah, Mr. Kenzo the person is relaxed. It is not finished today nor will he be angry!' so, Honey!" kenzo clearly gave an example of the behavior of the curse employee.

Calina nodded in understanding.

"And I don't like that kind of employee! I always want everything done in time."

Calina smiled, "It turns out you're great, Mas!" calina said proudly, accompanied by a kiss on the cheek. Heed their two children sitting in the back.
