The One More Chance
Shock

"Do you want to stay at a hotel or at Mr Malvin's?"

Abra who had been sitting staring at the field turned to Zahra who was still standing on the doorstep with a smile slowly rising on her lips.

Seeing Zahra at the door with a home-made negligee makes him think Zahra will welcome him whenever he comes home from work like they were married.

"Why smile?" reprimand Zahra with her pouting face as she steps toward Abra.

Abra breathes. "Just dare to come back with a lot of things that came back to color my life."

Zahra's forehead shriveled, she sat on a chair not far from Abra. "Old man, don't be a poet" Zahra grumbled.

Hearing Zahra's grunts, Abra chuckled. "Yes, I don't even know if I have a child growing up." Without even looking at Zahra as if glued to the dark night sky.

Abra's words caught Zahra's attention, Zahra silently looked at Abra. An increasingly tapered face, clear-looking eye bags and my eyes show fatigue.

"Don't push yourself" said Zahra softly, unconsciously coming out of her mouth.

Abra smiled and returned Zahra's deep eyes.

Zahra covered her lips hiding her nervousness. "Em ... must be tired yes take care of three companies at once?."

Abra's head shook. "No" argued.

Zahra clucked while rolling her eyeballs. "Don't lie, your face looks thin, the eye bags already indicate you how many days lack of sleep?."

Abra's smile grew even more, she was happy that Zahra was watching her in so much detail as if the weight on her shoulders was slowly light.

"Less sleep is common to me."

"It's normal?, Ab ...."

"Nobody's waiting for me to come home, so no one remembers me having to put off work." Cut Abra with his line smile.

Under the table, Zahra clasped her negligee. "Gea?, she must always be waiting for you."

Abra's head flanged. "Gea was used to sleeping at eight, she only needed my presence in the morning before leaving for school."

Their gazes intertwined, immersed in each other's thoughts.

"We didn't know each other very well, until I came to my senses these few days."

The first Abra decided on their gazes and looked back straight at the dark Square. "I don't know how to handle it either, I'm just a Dad but not a real Dad."

"Is there something wrong with Gea?" asked Zahra, trying to recall Gea's slightly different practices from the time she arrived.

Abra glanced at Zahra for a moment. "You think?" Abra asked Zahra.

Zahra's head nodded.

"He became quiet, daydreaming, not as cheerful and as cool as he used to be."

"Yes" Zahra confirmed that. "She was more silent, as if awkward to me and Regan. Many looked down and he hadn't argued with Regan since he came."

Only an hour ago Zahra and Gea met, but Zahra could already tell many differences from Gea.

A noble thing makes Abra grateful, happy and a very lucky husband to have Zahra, a woman who is understanding and caring for herself and the people around her.

"If Regan?" Abra asked.

Zahra's forehead shriveled for a few seconds then turned to look at Abra sharply. "What's wrong with them?."

Succeeded

Abra smiled, the plan he started to execute when he saw Zahra walking over and sitting not far away from him worked.

He needs Zahra to handle and overcome their two grown children, because if he handles them it will lead to disappointment.

Moreover, Abra is not good at being sweet and persuading children, it is beyond his expertise as a Ganendra.

"

Because Abra did not answer Zahra rushed into the house. "Ar daan Gea follows Mother" Zahra's orders firmly enter the room.

Abra followed them turning around for a moment looking at the three friends of Regan sitting looking at him.

"Family trouble" Mila uttered it before Abra let out a voice.

"We understand" Rio continued.

"Will not eavesdrop and noisy promises" Gana said.

Abra smilingly nodded and closed the door of Regan's room afterwards.

Regan and Gea sat on Regan's bedside, while Zahra sat in Regan's study chair staring at them. Abra put his foot on the side of Zahra.

"You got a problem?" ask Zahra to the point.

Simultaneously Regan and Gea shook their heads.

"Ar" call Zahra like Regan's interduction to raise her head and look at her. "Don't lie, Mother has said Mother does not like you to do something behind Mother without Mother's knowledge and permission."

Regan glanced at Abra not liking. "Yes, Ar's sorry."

"Don't look at the gutu lyrics disrespectfully" Zahra said firmly.

Regan looked down.

"Sister Regan is not wrong exactly Bun" Gea opened her voice after seeing Regan bowing her head with a face of guilt towards Zahra.

The eyes of Zahra and Abra turned to Gea. "Gea asked Regan to hack Opa Gea's corporate database."

"Sound-hack?" Zahra frowned not understanding the word even though it seemed familiar to her.

"So Gea asked Regan to hack?" ask Abra to make sure.

Gea nodded slowly.

"Since when did Gea know Regan Hacker?."

"Since ...."

"Wait!" zahra exclaimed as Gea answered Abra's question, Zahra stared intently at Regan trying to ascertain something she was beginning to remember. "Ar hacker?" ask Zahra with emphasis.

Regan nodded steadily confirming.

Zahra's shoulders immediately slumped. "Ar, who taught Ar to be a hacker?, it's a non-breeding job."

"Ar white hacker Bun. No, it's probably still green."

"Whatever, whether it's white, blue, green or orange you don't like Ar so Hackers understand?." Regan nodded. "What's Opa's company doing, you Gea?."

"What did you actually say to Mother?" accuse Regan of Abra.

Abra simply folded his hands over his chest and lowered his shoulders.

The movement that made Regan realized into the trap of Abra.

"Don't blame him" Zahra said in her signature nagging tone. "We just feel something is wrong with you, so Mother asks you to come together to solve the problems between you, but what Mother can turn out is that you are working together. What is Opa Gea's company doing?."

Regan still stared at Abra sharply, while Gea glanced at Regan waiting for Regan to answer Zahra's question.

"Take their proposal file and sell it to an opposing company."

"What?."

Because it is not fast to answer casually Abra said it makes Zahra surprised not play.

Zahra's eyes glared at Regan and Gea alternately, she was not out of thought with what she had heard just now even a child as small as Regan was a hacker and hacked the company's database.

"Why do the .. which ...."

Zahra could not say what was in her mind, her head began to throb.

"How did you sell that proposal?." Abra asked with his hands folded over his chest, talking diffensively.

Regan sighed, she was resigned her mother would know everything she was trying to hide. All because of Abra's successful plan, Zahra found out from their own mouths.

"Seventy-five million Fathers" Gea replied in a frightened squeaking voice.

Abra was dumbfounded, ruffling his rambunt vented his frustration at Gea's reply just now. "Seventy-five million?, you sold that proposal for just that?. Oh my God the children ...."

Abra was upset, furious, even wanted to laugh with anxiety, to the point of refraining from hitting the wall.

"If the project is successful, the company can benefit billions." Abra did not think out with the two children who were still teenagers in front of him. "Why don't you ask for three hundred or five million rutus?."

"We don't know Dad" said Gea.

"Other times if you want to ask me first with Dad".

Plaque...

Zahra hits Abra's arm. "Nothing to say next time!" ancap Zahra with glaring eyes full of warning.

"Yes .. yes I know me ...."

"Nothing!" cut Zahra firmly.

Abra licked her lips.

All was calm again, silent did not dare to reply staring at Zahra only to glance at Zahra who sighed somehow the umpteenth time.

Zahra massaged his forehead. "What kind of money did you make then?."

"Datah keyatim strays the same street people, the rest Gea transfer to Regan". Gea replied with her head lowered deeply.

"How much is left?" Zahra asked while looking at Regan.

Regan stared in fear at Zahra. "Twenty-three million more" Regan replied.

"Benefitting all the money in the bank with competition money and Regan's savings is now about forty-one million?."

Regan gave her lips in silence, lowered her head before answering "a hundred million more."

"What?" zahra shouted with a thunderous tone.

Abra and Gea stare at Zahra and Regan alternately.

Zahra herself was still in shock staring at Regan with wide eyes. "Last month your savings money in the bank of eighteen million, plus that Gea transfer twenty-three million, should be forty-one million Ar, why even almost a hundred?. Are you lying if the money is not given to orphans?."

Chief Gea shook his head quickly. "No Mother" Gea denied in a confident voice. "Gea and Yesi who distributed their money, Gea also transferred to Regan's account twenty-three million. Because if it's kept in Gea or Yesi's account, Sam and Dad will get a notification from the bank."

Regan scratched her head that was not itchy, she was confused to answer how or confess that would definitely return to make Zahra shock for the umpteenth time.

"Gee!" call Zahra full of warning.

"Ara mahein sahhhaem" Regan replied with an unclear hunch.

Abra who caught what Regan said put both her hands in her pants pocket looked at Regan with a look of admiration.

"What?" tanya Gea justifies her sitting facing Regan.

"Mother didn't hear" Zahra leaned toward Regan.

Smiling Abra looked at Zahra waiting for Zahra's reaction.

"Ar Main Shares Mother."

Each word is full of pressure and its pronunciation is very clear.

Zahra was stunned for a moment to examine one by one the words spoken by Regan until after her brain digested Zahra's body squeezed, until Abra who had been staring at her quickly grabbed her body so that Zahra's back did not hit the back of the chair.

"Mother" Regan looked at Zahra worriedly. "The money for people who can't afford all the kok Bun, Ar won't take a penny of promise."

Right after saying that sentence Zahra roared in tears immersing her face in Abra's embrace.

I don't know if he should be bersyurkur or how to know Regan is not just smart in lessons or martial arts.

Abra himself laughed and patted Zahra on the back and looked at Regan full of pride.
