“Last-lately you seem so happy, El.” Zean had been watching Elo. The man was indeed intermittently smiling behind a pile of files and it had been going on for probably about a week.
Just squinting. It feels lazy to respond then go back to work. Zean stood up, drawing closer to Elo's desk which was one room with him. “Do you have something I don't know?” tanyanya full of search.
Lifting the face partially. “No, Mr.” Back work.
“Ish, you must be lying. Tumben once.”
Lazy clucking. “Not all things you should know Young Master ..”
“Tsk! You're really weird. When I always share everything with you, but you don't want to. Why are you so annoying.”
Not answering. One of the handsome men in Pratama Group did not want the event to approach the dream woman who became his love in a chaotic heart because of Zean's actions.
His cousin would surely laugh at him if he knew Elo was chasing a woman.
“We'd better get ready, sir. Appointment with Mr. Miko in half an hour.” Choosing to shift the conversation rather than having to hear Zean blabbering incessantly.
Back to the table. The man who was soon to become a father was preparing. Picking up a cell phone and leaving the room with Elo.
Do not forget to order to the secretary in front of the room, telling if there will be business out.
The secretary simply replied ‘ya’, and wrote some notes as per Zean's orders.
“Pak, then what if your wife later phone?” Zean thought again. He remembered that Sally always called the office if her number could not be reached.
“Tell me I'll call him back soon.”
“Good, Sir.”
Continue going, heading to their appointment.

“We stopped by lunch for a while, El,” Zean said on the way after meeting Mr. Miko.
Without saying and just nodding, Elo immediately looked for the nearest restaurant.
Entering a restaurant. Accidentally hit a child in a school uniform. It might start to enter in the Kindergarten or something.
“Hei ... Are you okay?” Zean crouched down, spelled the boy high.
Just silence. It was as if the little boy was a little scared. Zean smiled, stroking the fine hair tied in two. “Where is your mother?” Elo even crouched down anyway.
“Elis!” Someone called out the name of the little boy, made him turn his head and run over.
“Mama!” He slammed into the arms of a woman who had called out his name.
Zean and Elo immediately stood up. Stare at the woman in front of them who may be a meter away.
“Alika!” Elo came along, then quickly approached.
But not for the one-headed woman, the two Netra stared at the figure of the man who was still unmoved on the spot. Not even realizing that Elo is approaching himself.
“Hey, so this is your son?” There is no surprise anymore, but a week ago he considered if Alika was lying and only joking about a child. It turned out to be true, and it didn't seem like Elo was taking issue with it.
Zean approached his cousin. “Who is he?” Nudged Elo's arm that had changed happily ever since.
“Oh, this is Alika. Classmates on campus first.” Zean watched carefully.
“Have we met? Your name and face are no strangers to me?” ask Zean.
“Of course we met, our campus is the same first. You're weird.” said Elo first.
Alika nodded confirming Elo's reply. “Mama—“ His son calls. Soon he responded to Elis' call and did not answer Zean's question.
“I want to go home, eat milk sponge cake!” the little girl was enthusiastic.
“Okay, we're home. And eat milk sponge as you wish.” The little girl nodded.
“El, I'll go home then.”
“Tokoku across, not far from here. I can walk,” replied Alika and took her daughter away.
“Goodbye, Uncle. Go to the Mama's cake shop, yeah. Elis wait.” The girl turned cheerful and was not afraid anymore after her mother arrived and it turned out to know the two men she had hit earlier.
Still looking at Alika leaving until it had to be patted on her shoulder by Elo.
“Hei Bro, what's wrong with you?” Zean.
“No. So that woman you're after?” Elo just grimaced. He did not answer and went inside leaving Zean.
Still thinking about Alika. Could he have known her before? Ah, Zean completely forgot. So many girls who have been close to him before to not remember a single name from the woman he had visited. Until finally he decided all the women, left the world crazy, and devoted himself in Pratama Group until now.
Not aware if the office break time is over. Both ordered food. Calling the secretary for a moment, telling them they're going back to the office a little late.
“What food does not fit, Ze?” Ask because Zean is not as usual. Sometimes pensive, his eyes blank.
“You missed sister-in-law?” Back asking.
Not answering. Zean immediately took his cell phone and called his wife. He even forgot to ask the news because he was busy with his own mind.
“Sayang ...” say spoiled after phone connect. Sontak makes Elo feel nauseous, disgusted by the behavior of his cousin's sister.
Would he be willing to give up his sister if he became a husband? Hish, amit-amit. Elo shuddered in horror.
Still chatting with Sally over the phone, Zean stared cynically at Elo who was also looking at her strangely. Sometimes feed food while continuing to chat, until unconscious food runs out.
“Don't forget to eat a lot, tell your Little One not to fuss and not to miss me.”
Zean's words made Elo really want to flip the table. It was not enough for him to show off his affection and now it was added with god-level accentuation. Grunts annoyed, for some reason he could rent like that. Though, she was also not wanting Sally to have an affair with him, but somehow her heart was upset.
Choose to go out first. Licking up the fire, lighting up the cigarette while waiting for Zean to finish chatting. Undeniably, since meeting Alika, he was not interested in the women who offered themselves to him. Perhaps obsessed with the woman who had one child, she was one of the women who rejected Elo blatantly first on the grounds that Alika already had a relationship with one of their seniors.
Zean approached Elo who was looking across the street. “Stop enjoying that lung organ-damaging thing.”
Elo turned his head and threw away the cigarette butts that had just burned in half. “I will stop if someone who means to me asks for it myself.”
Elo's reply made Zean raise his next eyebrow. “Am I not someone meaningful in your life?”
“Means in a different context, Ze.” Start walking towards the car.
Zean followed while saying, “You're in love?” Strange questions and nothing to do.
“What's your business asking that?” Elo cynical.
“Haha .. come on, am I not a part of your life? I didn't expect, you could finally fall in love too.” He was literate, occasionally chuckling with things that were not necessarily true.
“I also never thought if you would be the Slave of Love like now.” Zean's statement was returned by Elo.
Stopped for a moment. “Ish, why are you so serious now.”
“Stop joking, Ze. I don't want to discuss my life issues.” Kick off faster, get in the car and take over the wheel.
“Eh, hey. Tsk!” Sally's husband clicked annoyed, then a little ran after Elo who had already entered and was ready to leave at any time.
