"Darling, I'll be home from school, wait for mommy, yeah. Mommy picked up Kayla." I don't know how many times Ayara said the same thing over and over again.
Her anxiety over Elena's yesterday is still there. As a mother, it was only natural that Ayara felt afraid of losing her daughter. Feeling that one day his daughter will be separated from him.
After he thought many times. Ace and Kayla are so similar, like a betel nut split in two but different genders only.
"Yes, Mom. I'm in, yeah, bye-bye!" Ayara waved her hand in the air. Waiting for her little daughter to disappear from view then just turned around.
His steps suddenly stopped when he saw the figure of Sofia who was holding a baby in front of him. Not only that, next to the woman was also Doni who held the hand of a small boy who had a puffed face.
"Ay-Ayara," said Sofia stammered. Their facial expressions turned pias and scared. Like someone who is caught cheating.
"Sofia, Doni? What are you guys doing here? Where's Reina?"
"Rei-Reina is at home. You alone, since when did you return to Jakarta? And where have you been all this time? Why didn't you tell us?" As if to divert the conversation. Doni chases Ayara with various questions.
"It's been a week or so. My daughter goes to school here, so yeah, she's sending kids. By the way, this is your son with Reina, Don?" ayara's question again made Doni look tense. But the man nodded slowly.
Sofia who felt like things were becoming very awkward opened her voice again, "By the way, Ay. Have you met Reina? Or maybe your father?"
"No, Sof. Or maybe not, I don't know..." Ayara shook her head slowly. Trying to get rid of thoughts about bad events in the past. Her facial expression quickly changed, and her eyes turned to the little baby in Sofia's sling.
"Your son, Sof. Who are you married to? Elena didn't tell me, yeah. From yesterday I have met."
Sofia glanced at Doni for a moment. Then I looked back at Ayara. The body movements of the two people seemed restless. It was as if a dead flea with Ayara's question.
Looked like there was a strange gurgle from them. Ayara looked at the two men with intimidation. "You guys... Not cheating, are you?" he said back.
Sofia shook her head quickly. So did Doni who swiftly denied. "No, come on, Ay. We just accidentally met in front of earlier, Sofia left her son's stuff in the car."
Honestly Ayara did not really believe in Doni's answer. Or maybe only he was too parno because he had previously been cheated by this man.
Ayara just doesn't want it to happen again. He may be hurt, and disappointed in Reina. However, Reina was still his cousin. Cousin who used to be very dear to him, even more affectionate than his own brother.
"Thank God, maybe I'm just too parno squirming you, yeah, Don. If so, I say yes first. I have to get to the office early, a lot of work." Sofia and Doni nodded. But their agitated expressions were still clearly visible. "Next time we talked together, yeah, Sof. This is my business card."
After the departure of Ayara. Sofia looked back at Doni. It turns out that the two humans are different in gender before in a big fight. However, their steps came to a halt when they saw a figure very similar to Ayara, and it turned out that it was Ayara.
Doni who looked more agitated ruffled his hair. Many times the man punched the cement pole of the school building.
"Martin, you're going in on your own, aren't you, son. Aunty wants to talk to your papa, Oh yeah, this Auntie is for Tara." Sofia smiled gently at the stocky child named Martin. After receiving the lunchbox from Sofia, Martin went into the classroom.
Sofia exhaled. Seeing Doni with concern. "You can cover up your affair by threatening me, Don. But what about that woman? Can you keep Ayara's mouth shut too?" suzerain Sofia is full of insinuations.
"Reina is his favorite cousin. Even he was willing to give you away just like that even though he had to feel pain, and was driven away from home for Reina. What do you think? What will Ayara do if your affair with ****** is revealed? She's gonna make Reina do the same thing she did before."
"Shut up!!!" bentak Doni did not accept Sofia's words.
"You should be patient with Reina and help her to get back up. Slowly you can have more kids, not cheat like this, Don." Sofia's advice was pity to see Doni's expression that looked confused and anxious.
"Argh..." Doni went berserk, punched the wall once more, then left Sofia there just like that.
It's not entirely Doni's fault either. There was Reina's interference here as well, because the woman was never willing to believe anyone else's complaint. And always end up with their relationship all right again with just seduction.
Sofia repeatedly reminds Reina that her husband is having an affair. But Reina always seemed deaf to her speech.

Arriving at the office, Ayara sees the figure of a woman just coming out of the CEO's room with a boy. The woman looked menor with jewelry that almost filled her entire body. Diamond rings, pearl necklaces, bustling gold bracelets in hands.
Yes, indeed the wife of a CEO will definitely look luxurious. After all they are very, very capable to style socialites as they please.
When he passed by, Ayara smelled a very pungent perfume from the woman. "Wait!" step stopped. Ayara smiled and bowed to the woman.
"You're a new employee?" ask him about judes.
"I'm the new GM envoy from Hayakawa, Madam."
"Ouh, so you're that woman. Hemm... Beautiful too. You have to be self-aware, yes. Don't try to tease my man. The Ace is mine, watch out until I know you're trying to tease Ace. You're in my hands!" Threaten Joelyn with a condescending look. Not wanting to take a dizzy, Ayara simply nodded in response.
Then Joelyn left there with Alex. Even the look on Alex's face was very depressed around his own mother.
There is just that, Ayara thought.
Who wants to tease who? He's not even interested in being in a relationship with any man now.
Betrayed by Doni at that time was enough to remind him that how tortured he felt to fall in love. Not anymore, he didn't want to feel the same way anymore. That's enough!
"Near!" the call from someone made the woman look over. Again and again Ace stood at the door of his room in a cool and dazzling style. "My room!" her word.
Want to not want Ayara to obey. The woman went into the CEO's office. There is already plenty of food available on the table.
"This is my mom's post, I don't like it. Please spend!" tell Ace without much ado.
"I mean, Sir?"
"Recycle that food. If you don't want to, then the office boy who delivered this must be fired."
"Well, that's it, sir." Ayara protested.
"Yes, because his work is less qualified to make you hesitate to eat foods that are re-served. But just serving food is not good. Brian-"
"No, no! I'll eat it don't fire anyone." Ayara sat herself down on the sofa, removed the bag and began scooping the porridge with the soup available. His eyes glanced at Ace for a moment, but the man was focusing on the file.
Ayara's eyes turned to Brian. The pleading gaze was clearly visible in the woman's eyeballs.
"Where's that office boy, Brian?" ace asked suddenly, made Ayara flutter and immediately put the porridge into her mouth.
"What if it's poisonous, dead already." Ayara's great-grandson softly, but unfortunately can still be heard by Ace and Brian. Ace was smiling but only for a moment. The man quickly went back to normalizing his facial expression so as not to look changed.
