“Why are you, baby?” liora asked the little Emmanuel who had just come out of her room.
Emmanuel looked glum, his face bent like he was upset. Emmanuel's gaze also looked cynical, making Liora frown in wonder. Liora looked at Ara who had just come out of Emmanuel's room while carrying her son's dirty clothes, what is this?
Liora crouched down, Emmanuel directly hugged Liora tightly, keeping her head on Liora's shoulders. “Why isn't Mom waking me up? If Mama can not, bi Maria also gapapa, but not Ara,” shoot Emmanuel while tightening his embrace.
Liora stroked Emmanuel's back. “Indeed why the same Ara? Is he good to you?”
Emmanuel nodded, “Good, but I don't like Ara, Ma.”
Liora let go of his embrace, she looked at Emmanuel, stroking Emmanuel's head gently. “Why? Good, why don't you like it?”
“I just don't feel like it, Ma. I don't want to be built or taken care of with Ara anymore, I just want to be with Mama or bi Maria" Emmanuel said firmly not to be denied.
Liora nodded, “Iya, sorry Mama ya for not waking you up. Mama promised, next time Mama will not tell Ara again,”.
Emmanuel nodded, “Ara also do not enter my room, just Mama and bi Maria!”
“Iya dear,” replied Liora while pinching Emmanuel's gaunt cheek.
“You guys what?” chirps Zelvin.
Liora immediately stood up, she looked at Zelvin who had just walked out of the room in his formal attire. Liora's hands stretched out to tidy up Zelvin's slightly messy hair, “Lain times, her hair noticed too. If gini is a big brother looks more handsome,” said Liora.
Emmanuel who saw Liora tidying up her daddy hair, intentionally ruffled her hair. “Mama's my hair is also messy.”
Zelvin and Liora looked directly at Emmanuel, they chuckled at the handsome boy's behavior.
Liora confirmed Emmanuel's hair, “This too, why is her hair even in a mess? It was good.”
Emmanuel smiled, displaying his white teeth. “Let Nuel like, Daddy.”
Zelvin stroked Emmanuel's hair. “Come breakfast!”
Liora and Emmanuel nodded, then the three of them walked together towards the dining room.
...****************...
Liora looked at the girl sitting in front of her in prisoner clothes. This girl looked messy, different from her former appearance. He looked like he was getting thinner, besides his hair was also cut into a shoulder, under his eyes blackened and looked pitiful.
Her, Leandra. Today, Liora was intending to visit Lea because there was a lot of bad news about the girl, so Liora wanted to know the state of Lea. It turns out, the situation is far from being okay.
“Lea,” call Liora to the girl who keeps her head down.
“Bless your head, don't keep your head down, Lea,”.
Lea raised her face, Liora could see her reddened eyes. “You cry?” ask Liora.
Lea got down from her chair, she knelt in front of Liora. “Liora, I'm sorry. I know I was wrong Lio, I'm sorry. Forgive me for all my crimes, I am so evil to you. It all happened because of my ego Lio, I was upset when Alvin told me more about you. I'm sorry Lio. Even I threatened Alvin's parents to make us fiancee,” Lea shrieked while crying on Liora's knee.
Liora holding Lea's hand, “Lea, stand don't like this.”
Liora tried to force Lea to sit in her place again. “I've forgiven you, let's get up.”
Lea shook her head. “For me, everything is ruined, Lio. Papa I'm company, Mama I got fired and now I have to be here. I'm sorry Liora,”
“Iya Lea, I've forgiven all your mistakes.” Liora continues to persuade Lea, assuring her that she has forgiven Lea, though it is difficult as Lea continues to cry. But now, Lea was sitting in her chair again with her eyes moist. If she could, Liora wanted to free Lea from this prisoner. Liora was sure, Lea had already regretted all of her.
“Liora?”
Reflexes, Liora turned her head when she heard that voice. He rounded his eyes when he saw Alvin standing at his spot in shock.
“What are you doing here?” alvin asked, he was sitting next to Liora. Alvin kept the food he brought on the table.
“Check Lea,” Reply Liora.
Alvin nodded, “Lea, this is from Mama," Ali said as she handed him the stacked food box she was carrying.
Lea smiled stiffly, “Thanks, Al. You also thank you, Lio.”
Liora nodded, “Emm I say yes Lea, next time if there is time I come again.”
Lea nodded, “Be careful on the road, Lio.”
Liora nodded, she immediately stood up and left Lea with Alvin.
“Liora!”
Liora stopped her steps, she turned her body and looked at Alvin who was running towards her. This was what Liora was afraid of, she was afraid when Zelvin's men saw her and made Zelvin angry later against her.
“Iya?”
Alvin gave a paper bag to Liora, “From Mama, he also sends his greetings and apologies for all the events that have happened. I've told Mama everything, she's also sad because I hurt you.”
Alvin nodded, "Yes, Lio."
Alvin's birth mother had died when he was sitting in high school, he wanted Alvin to become a doctor. Alvin's father was married again when Alvin had just entered college, his father married the younger brother of Alvin's birth mother. At first, Alvin's stepmother agrees to her relationship with Liora but because her father's bankrupt company makes them force Alvin to accept this matchmaking.
“Liora, once again for everything I'm sorry.”
“I'm sorry about you. I can't stay long, I have business. Per—” Liora was surprised by Alvin who arrived - just suddenly holding his hand Alvin instantly let go of his hand when Liora's different gaze.
“Oh, sorry. I was not intentionally. I want nanya, who's home?” ask Alvin.
“I brought a car,” replied Liora.
Alvin mangosteen-beard understood, “Cautious.”
Liora just nodded then left Alvin.
...****************...
“Sel—Eh Lady Liora? Good afternoon, ma'am, how are you? The more beautiful, want to go to Mr Zelvin yes?” guess Alice.
Liora smiled, “Siang, yes brother Zelvin is there?” ask Liora
Alice nodded, “But there is still a client inside the Madam, soon to be done too. Mistresses want to wait or I phone—”
“I just wait,” cut Liora.
“Ya already Madam just wait on that sofa, let it sit well,” point Alice to the sofa next to her work desk.
Liora nodded.
As time went on, Liora was still waiting for Zelvin even though she felt sleepy because Zelvin's client had not come out even though Liora wanted to report everything that happened today.
Without Liora realizing it, she closed her eyes from feeling so sleepy, she could not help it. Not long after, Zelvin's client came out of Zelvin's room. Alice looked at the sleeping Liora, she was afraid to wake Liora up. Liora looks good in her sleep.
Alice knocked on the door of Zelvin's room, after hearing the command from within, Alice went straight inside. “Master, there's Mrs Liora outside. She was waiting for you from earlier, I told Madam Liora to wait, but Madam Liora fell asleep in front. I did not dare to wake him,” Alice said.
Zelvin raised his face, “My wife is outside?”
Alice nodded, "Yes sir."
Zelvin immediately stood up, he walked out of his room. His gaze stopped at the sleeping girl sitting next to Alice's table. Zelvin walked over, then carried Liora slowly so as not to wake his wife. Zelvin put Liora on the sofa in his room.
“You are out,” Zelvin commands to Alice who continues to stand in the doorway.
Alice nodded, she immediately closed the door of her superior room.
Zelvin stroked Liora's hair, the arrival of this girl made all her tiredness disappear just like that. Moreover, the peaceful face when sleeping makes Zelvin always anxious. Her chubby cheeks always make Zelvin want to bite her, her lips slightly open but it still makes Liora beautiful.
Liora moved uneasily, she slowly opened her eyes and was surprised to see Zelvin in front of her at such a close distance. “Kak Zelvin!”
Liora immediately got up and sat up upright Zelvin held her shoulder because Liora was a little bit squishy.
“Do not directly sit, later you get dizzy.” reprimand Zelvin.
Liora nodded. Zelvin sat next to Liora, tidying up this girl's messy hair. “Why not tell me if you want to come here? If you know you want to come here I will clear my schedule,” asked Zelvin.
It seemed, Liora's life had not been collected because this girl was daydreaming instead.
“Hey!”
Liora was surprised, she looked at Zelvin. “Drink first, want to wash your face?” Liora received the glass that Zelvin offered, she drank it. Liora shook her head in response.
“Kak, I want to clear something,” said Liora.
“What's clear?”
Liora explained everything. When he visited Lea and met Alvin at the police station, he also explained the paper bag he was carrying at the moment. Liora explained everything without the slightest lie, because she did not want any misunderstanding that made Zelvin angry or upset. Zelvin took his breath away, he pulled Liora into his arms.
“Can I throw away the paper bag you brought?” pinta Zelvin's
Liora nodded, “Iya can, sis.”
Zelvin stood up from his seat, he immediately threw the paper bag of gifts from Alvin into the trash can in the room, then Zelvin again sat next to Liora, “Thank you for being honest, I'm glad you appreciate me as a husband.”
Liora smiled, she hugged Zelvin. “I'm sorry for still meeting Alvin,” he said.
“Gapapa, it wasn't on purpose.” Zelvin bowed his head, he slightly hissed when he saw Liora biting her lips.
“Sial!” zelvin.
