The clock shows at 8pm when all employees gather together inside the hotel hall, which Zidan has specially ordered for the second night of their holiday.
Everyone seemed to be sitting relaxing on the floor of the hall which had been lined with a thick, soft-bristled carpet. Asyifa purposely allowed everyone to sit down together below, so that they would feel more comfortable.
Asyifa has also prepared several performances and fun games to entertain his colleagues. He also invited a male host to host the event tonight.
"Has everyone gathered?" tanya Zidan entered the hall with a man, whom Ashifa knew as the host.
"Already sir. I've confirmed, that everything is present in the hall"
"Good, then we can start the show immediately. Our host has also been here, you've already met him right?"
"Hello, Ashifa. We meet again"
"Hello too sir, nice to meet you. Please help her for tonight's event, hope things go smoothly" Asyifa replied politely.
"of course. Then, can I start the show?"
"Of course, please start. Asyifa and I will check with the hosts to get them ready"
After seeing the host take the stage, Ashifa and Zidan immediately headed for another room connected to the hall.
"Cyntia Hi. How are the preparations here, is everything going smoothly?" greet Asyifa to Cyntia who is in charge of supervising the waiting room of the performers.
"Hi is also Ashifa, Mr. Zidan. Everything is ready to perform, just wait for the turn on the call"
"Thank God then. The show has also started, you can join together with others in the hall. Let me keep watch here"
"Isn't it a problem, don't you also want to watch the show? After all, rather than being alone, there's better someone to help you with, right?"
"Just calm down Cyntia, Mira and I will help Asyifa. So you don't have to worry" said Angel who suddenly entered the waiting room with Mira.
"You two didn't join us to watch the show?"
"Not interested. We'd rather help you here. Is it okay, Mr Zidan?"
"Of course I can. It just so happens that we are very short of manpower, so please help both of you" Zidan replied with no objections at all.
Hearing that, Cyntia's face immediately shone with excitement. "Then, excuse me for coming out to join the others. You three are excited"
"Have a good time" Angel and Mira said before the girl disappeared behind the door.
"alright. I beg your attention for a moment to all of you in this room. In a moment, the host will call you one by one to go on stage, so I hope no one comes out leaving this waiting room without telling my three employees. Do you understand?"
"Alright sir" everyone replied in unison.
While waiting, the four of them passed the time busy talking about everything. Their attention was shifted as Kinara entered the room together with the husband.
"What are you doing here?" asked Zidan began to lazily serve the two people.
"Dad and also Kinara, want to watch the show prepared by Asyifa. Can't it?"
"Of course I can. But the show was held in the hotel hall behind that door, not in this room, dad"
"Geez, I know Zidan, too. Dad came in here because Kinara said there was an artist she liked performing tonight, and she wanted to ask for the artist's signature. Don't you, honey?"
"Yes right. Am I allowed to meet up and ask for an autograph for a second, Zidan?" tanya Kinara with her face made clear towards Zidan.
"Whatever. But don't make that person uncomfortable!"
"Thank you Zidan. Honey, wait for me well" said Kinara, then walked towards a little girl who was sitting while reading a comic.
After Kinara greeted the girl, the two began to look engrossed in conversation. They also did not forget to take pictures together several times on Kinara's phone. Only then did the little girl sign the album that Kinara had carried in her bag.
"Look at him, he always liked kids. Even the artist he likes is a child" Marcel said, looking at Kinara with a loving gaze.
"Pad's words are right too. But in addition to liking small children, he also really likes men who already have wives and aged and have a lot of possessions. Isn't that dad?" zidan deliberately provoked Marcel's anger.
Just now Marcel wanted to reply to Zidan's words, when he saw Kinara's figure seemingly walking back towards him. He also undoes his intentions, does not want to make the mood of the woman he loves becomes chaotic.
"Are you done, baby?"
"It has. You want to watch the show, right, then let's go back to the hall"
Zidan who saw the departure of the two people, immediately breathed a sigh of relief. Because for Zidan, being in the same room as Kinara and his father, was the worst. It makes him unable to breathe.
"Sir Zidan, why do you seem to hate your father and stepmother Zidan himself?" asked Mira bravely.
"Are you still going to like your father when he chooses to marry another woman and divorce your mother? And again, the woman he married was the woman who was the same age as you!" ask Zidan, without saying about the real relationship that ever happened between him and also Kinara.
"Of course I'd hate them both. Just like that, Mr. Zidan couldn't have expected it!"
"Then why are you asking me why I hate my father and my stepmother!" zidan was upset.
"True yeah. I'm sorry Mr. Zidan" said Mira smiling shyly.
While Asyifa and Angel who saw the careless behavior of his best friend, can only sigh concerned.
*****
William circulated his gaze in all directions of the hall to find where the figure of Ashifa was. From the information he got, Zidan's company event for tonight will be held in the hotel hall. That was why he had directly come looking for Asyifa here right now.
"William, what are you doing here?" ask Angel who accidentally saw the presence of the man.
"I was looking for Asyifa, so I came here" William replied in a slightly louder voice. He was afraid that Angel could not hear his voice, because it was covered in music that began to play.
"Asyifa is busy watching the events right now. Is there anything important you should tell Asyifa?"
"It's not important. I just don't know anyone in this hotel, so I intend to see Asyifa because I'm bored in the room"
"If you're bored, just join the others to watch the show. I'll explain it to the others, so you relax" Angel said, feeling a little sorry for William.
"really? Thank you very much Angel. I'll sit in the back row, so as not to disturb the others"
William soon joined by sitting on the back floor alone. He then began to focus on enjoying the show. Zidan who had just come out of the waiting room, was astonished to see William also at his company's event.
"What's that ugly guy doing at my company show?"
Zidan then raised his hand and pointed to the back row that was filled with only one person.
"William?" say Asyifa and Mira at the same time.
Asyifa immediately grabbed the phone from inside her shirt pocket and called William's number.
"What are you doing there?" ask Asyifa without further ado when her phone is connected.
William, who had heard Ashifa's question instead of answering, circulated his gaze to seek Asyifa. And when his gaze met with Asyifa, he immediately waved his hand with a happy smile.
"Good God, that idiot. Has his brain been removed from its place, having been beaten by his brother?" asked Mira speechless to see William's carefree behavior even came to them.
"Hi Asyifa, Mira and also Zidan. I came to watch your company's show"
"Who told you that this show is open to the public? Get out of here right now!"
"Why are you so stingy, I just want to watch. After all, I sat in the back row alone and did not disturb the others"
"I'm hosting this event for my employees, not for strangers like you! Do you understand? Now, get out of here!" pinta Zidan while forcibly pulling William's body.
William, who did not want to leave, tried to avoid Zidan's attack. Unexpectedly, the two men ended up rolling under the floor instead.
Seeing the riots, Asyifa and Mira try to separate the two. The event became a little disturbed, because everyone's focus now turned towards them.
Everyone started whispering in curiosity to find out. The event was initially calm, became uncontrollable because some people began to rise from their seats so they could see more clearly what was happening.
"Well, it seems that there are those who are impatient to start playing games in pairs, to make their own games back there" said the host trying to take over the show again.
"How about we call those four, to be our first participants?" continued the host who directly approved by the audience.
"No, he's not part of this show!" zidan's protests were successfully separated from William.
"Why? Are you afraid of losing against me? You coward!" ridicule William.
"Who is afraid? Alright, I will fight you as long as on one condition. Who wins, should be the winning helper for the full day!"
"Agreed!" thank William without a second thought, while walking towards the stage followed by Zidan.
"Come Asyifa!" invite Mira to reach for Asyifa's hand, making the girl look at her in wonder.
"Where to?"
"Didn't you hear the host just now? The four of us, that means that including me and you, must be the first participants"
"Then who will replace me watching the event?"
"Calm down, I'll replace you, Ashifa" said Angel, who had been there for some time, smiling sweetly as if innocence had allowed William to watch their show.
By force, Ashifa complied to be invited to go on stage by Mira. After writing each name on a piece of paper, the host votes to determine who pairs up with whom.
"alright. For our first couple, there were William and Asyifa! Then for our second couple, there's Zidan and Mira!" read the host who was greeted with cheers by the audience.
William who heard it instantly became a flowering of his heart, while Zidan could only show a sour face.
Asyifa was also like William, he felt lucky, because he could be in a moment in an embrace that he had not felt for a long time. Only Mira seems not to care who she will be paired with.
"The game is very simple, but also draining for men. That is, you must hold your partner to stand in the circle provided, with various styles that I will command. Are you guys ready?"
"Ready!"
"Then, please take your respective positions and listen to my instructions"
The four then took a obedient position. William held Ashifa, and Zidan held Mira, both standing firmly in a circle.
"The first style, which is carrying with a squat position for 5 minutes. It starts now!"
The two men quickly changed their positions to squat. Both seemed determined to win, and made it through the first half with ease.
"Second style, which is carrying with a squat position on one leg for 5 minutes. It starts now!"
Like the first half, the second half can be passed by Zidan and William. But the difference, Zidan did not feel tired in the slightest, in contrast to William who began to look overwhelmed.
"It turns out that both of our male participants were tough guys, they got through two innings well. Now we get into the last style, which is to carry with a standing position on one leg, as long as you can. Who survives last, will be our winner tonight!"
Hearing that, everyone there started cheering for William and Zidan.
Zidan, who had been piling up resentment earlier to William, was determined not to give up and be the winner no matter what.
While William who almost lost all his strength, finally could only give up after enduring for a few minutes. That made Zidan smile triumphantly.
Everyone cheered as they shouted Zidan's name, making the man look at William arrogantly.
"Basic boyish!" william was upset.
"I, if I were Zidan, would be like that. The competition is quite difficult for you, but because Mr. Zidan is diligent in exercising, so it's only natural that he won" said Asyifa defended his boss.
"Sorry, because I'm not as strong as your boss, so we lost"
"Jeez William, I'm just saying according to the facts. Instead of blaming yourself for our defeat, I don't expect to win either"
Zidan still continued to smile even though he had come down from the stage, making Angel who saw became astonished.
"Why is Mr Zidan so happy? Did you win a game for the first time?"
"Do you know Angel, tomorrow I will have a personal servant who will serve me all day without being paid a penny!"
"Helper? Who sir?"
"Let me meet you directly. Introduce Angel, this is William who will be my maid from tomorrow for a full day" Zidan said, embracing William's shoulder.
Mira and Asyifa laughed amusingly at William's expression that was upset by Zidan's childish attitude. Also Angel who innocently, even immediately greeted William with a confused expression.
Seriate...
