Minutes after Arsen's departure, the Emperor noticed Edzel's behavior. The man let out his breath lightly upon seeing Edzel's calm demeanor.
That day, the Emperor no longer had a schedule. But because he saw some documents piled up on his desk, he decided to finish it so that tomorrow the work is not too piled up.
Edzel looked around him carefully. A lollipop is put in the mouth, a few seconds later pulled back. His face looked sour as his tongue touched the candy. He threw it on the floor.
"What's up, Edzel?" ask Emperor.
"The candy is bad, Uncle."
"really? But it's a really good candy after Uncle umuran like you."
"It just feels old-fashioned!"
"What time?" frowning.
"Uncle, I want Pizza," Edzel said.
"Alright, but after Uncle finished working on all this," said the Emperor.
"Okee well, Uncle," nodded quickly.
"Smart kid!" lirih Emperor. Thankfully, this child is not unsettling! his inner.
A few minutes later, Edzel was bored in the room. He started traveling without the Emperor's knowledge.
Realizing Edzel's figure had disappeared from the civilization of his study, he soared. He immediately searched for the little creature with a panicked facial expression.
"Edzel's? Where are you?" call Emperor.
Hearing no reply from Edzel, the Emperor walked out of his room. He finds Edzel's little robot bag falling on the floor.
The emperor ran towards the cctv room, and told his employees to track down the existence of the invisible creature.
"Hurry up and find my bangs!" shouted Emperor.
"I saw him get into the elevator, sir," said one man.
"Show me!" ketus Emperor.
"Now the little boy's headed for the lobby."
"Call me if the boy changes position." The Emperor ran away with abandoning his officers.
"Good Sir."
While the Emperor was panicking, Edzel was walking while enjoying the air in the afternoon.
"I'm hungry! Huhhhh! Until when should I wait for Uncle to finish his job!" grouse Edzel.
When he reached the front yard, Edzel saw a girl eating sweets on the side of the road. The worms in her stomach suddenly held an impromptu concert. He could no longer endure his hunger. Edzel decided to approach the little girl dressed in pink and in a rabbit hat.
Look girl the same age as Edzel, enjoying his snacks. He smiled broadly as he looked at the skyscraper. Just as he was about to bite the sweetness, suddenly a hand grabbed the food by force.
"Give me!" ketus Edzel's.
"Ohhhhh! Who're you?" ask the little girl.
"I'm Edzel. I'm so hungry. Now this food is mine!" cursedly.
The little girl was stunned. His cheeks began to turn red, his eyes looked teary, holding back the cries. "I-it's mine, hik-hik! My father bought it for me. And you took it from me" said the little girl.
"What's your name?" ask Edzel.
"Ze-zey."
"Now you're my friend, Zeyra. Because we're peaceful, so this candy is mine. Let's just say you gave it to me because we're friends."
Zeyra. "Te-friends?" ogre.
"Yes. Then I'll go first. Hye!" walk away from the girl.
"Wait!" scream Zeyra.
Edzel looked back. "What's wrong?"
"Your name, Edzel?" ask Zeyra to make sure.
Edzel nodded.
"Are we really friends?"
"Why indeed?" ask Edzel wonder.
"You're the first person to think of me as a friend" Zeyra said in a soft voice.
"really? Then I'm your one-on-one friend?"
"Yes" said Zeyra.
"Alright Zeyra. I'm going back to my uncle."
"Can we meet again?" ask Zeyra.
"of course. I can see you, whenever I want."
"How is it? I haven't even told you my address."
"Don't doubt me. You just tell me where your father works" Edzel said, chewing his food.
Zeyra walked two steps forward. He pointed his index finger across the street, showing a man dressed in white and dongker. "My father worked there."
"Oh so your dad's security guard in his office, Uncle?" tanyanya back.
"Uncle Emperor, Daddy's best friend."
He seems to be a rich kid. Hmm, how could I possibly be friends with him? In my school alone, I was often shunned for not being the son of a rich man! Zeyra said in her heart. "Edzel, are you sure you want to be friends with me?"
"certain. Why why anyway? Don't you want to be friends with me?"
"It's not. It's just that I've never been friends with a rich man like you" Zeyra bowed her head.
"Huhahah! I'd rather be friends with you, than be friends with my weird friends at school."
The smile curvature on the girl's cheeks widened. He put his hand on Edzel as a sign of their introduction. Edzel who saw that immediately shook hands with Zeyra while smiling.
"DZEL!!!" a man shouted from a distance. That man was none other than the Emperor.
"Uncle?" lyric Edzel.
"Wait there and don't cross. It's very dangerous!" ketus Emperor, panic.
Edzel nodded slowly as he looked at the Emperor.
Upon Kai's arrival at Edzel's place, he immediately threw his breath away. His worries were gone when he found the agile boy. "Ed, you almost got my life on the edge of a cliff!" hatchlings.
"I'm bored, Uncle! After all, you've been doing your job for a long time, and I'm so hungry!"
"Alright, forgive Uncle. Let's go to the restaurant" the Emperor pulled Edzel's hand.
"Wait a minute!" said Edzel.
"What's wrong?"
"May I take Zeyra?"
Kai scrunched his forehead. "Zeyra's? Who's she?"
"My new friend" said Edzel.
"Hello Om," said Zeyra.
"Hello little girl."
"Zeyra introduce this to my Uncle, and Uncle introduce, this is my new friend Zeyra."
"Zeyra, will you come with us?" invite Emperor.
"No Om. My father will be looking for me. Besides, I don't usually hang out with rich people like you."
"Haha! Who banned you?" ask Kai curiously.
"Nobody's against me, Om. It's just that I feel uncomfortable. My friends at school stayed away from me because I was a poor boy."
The Emperor was moved to hear Zeyra's words. He crouched down in front of Zeyra while looking at the beautiful little girl carefully. "Zeyra, you're so innocent. Not all rich people are like that. Do you know where your parents are?"
"My father's security guard in Om's office."
The emperor stared at a post in front of his company building. "Ohya?"
The little girl nodded.
"Zeyra's? Did you do anything?" said a man with a big voice suddenly.
"Dad?" zeyra.
"I'm sorry my son, sir. I beg Zeyra's forgiveness if he has done anything wrong to you" said the old man, Zeyra's father.
"No Mr. Angga. Your son has done nothing wrong" said the Emperor, staring at the sign on the man's right chest.
"Really, Om. Even the son gave me the food" Edzel said.
"Sir, Angga, can I take my father to eat with me and Edzel?" ask Emperor.
"Thank you very much for your offer. But forgive me Sir, I can't allow Zeyra because I don't want to trouble Master."
"No hassle. After all Edzel seemed to like to be friends with your son," the Emperor winked next to him.
"Om, I don't want to come. I'll just have lunch with dad."
"Ohya? Then let's eat together. It's already lunchtime for the staff and employees."
"No need sir. I have to drive Zeyra home. Forgive me Sir," said Mr. Angga lowered his head.
"Hmm, fine then. But next time Mr. Angga has to accept my offer!"
"Good, Sir."
"Very unpleasant!" cursed Edzel with a disappointed mimic.
"Edzel, you've become my friend. We'll meet again next time. Dahh Edzel," waved his hand.
"Byeeee Zeyra" Edzel said, replying to Zeyra's hand.
The Emperor and Edzel left the place. Sometimes Edzel turned his face back, like he was not willing to part with his new friend. It was the first time Edzel had asked a girl to be friends with him. Usually he often encourages and bullies all girls his age while at school.
