CHARTER GIRL CHAIRMAN
BEGINNINGS

"What did you say? Chartered girl?!"

Daniel spouted the hot coffee he was drinking. Can't believe what the guy just said across the table. He knew the man from a long time ago wasn't very sane, but a hired woman? Oh God!

"How else? Not a single babysiter could stand Zio. The kid wants a mother, not a nanny." The man squeezed his head in annoyance. His eyes were marsupial, all night he could not sleep hearing Zio's deafening cry.

"Why don't you just marry Allandra? Instead of hiring a woman to pretend to be Zio's mother?" The man named Daniel is still not finished with the way his friend thought.

Allandra clucked, "you know, don't you? I hate women! More to do with them!"

This time it was Daniel's turn to be confused. His friend if there is no want can not be contested, keukeuh. And usually he is the one who is unlucky, the hassles fulfill all the wishes of the widower of one child.

Actually, he was also a little compassionate with the condition of his friend. He already has no father or mother who can be asked to take care of a son alone - the fruit of a marriage for 3 years ago. As an only child, Allandra also had no relatives to ask for help. He only had Daniel, a best friend since he was in elementary school.

"Although yes, for example ... we are looking for a rented woman, what should and how?" Stared at the man with the bright brown mane was straight.

Allandra seemed to think, rubbing her taper chin like a thread embroidery result. Even though he was born was indeed created with a beautiful face. "The obvious one must be beautiful, white, tall, and have a slight resemblance to Zio." Some are easy, as if looking for such women is as easy as finding shrimp crackers in a supermarket.

"Who do you think has such a physique besides Khalila who else?" Daniel looked at his interlocutor skeptically. Allandra looked up, her gaze narrowed. He obviously did not like the name of the woman to be called.

"Okay .. okay, I didn't mean to carry the woman's name," Daniel quickly raised his apologetic arm before the steaming coffee mug was splashed to his head.

"It doesn't need to be exactly, just a little similar. Whether it's her small eyes, her pretty lips, or her Zio-like nose and eyebrows, I don't care." Allandra explained. Trying not to think about the name of the woman he called his friend.

"What about the resume?" Daniel pursue.

"That's not very important. Not if the education is not too high. The important thing is that he comes from a good family with a simple background. And of course, she can act well as a mother." Added the man who is Chairman of Allandra's Group. Major franchise companies in the Capital.

Daniel seemed to think for a moment, the girl with a simple background and from a good family is not difficult. But looking for it will also not be easy, especially those who want to rent themselves.

"Well .. give me a month," at last he returned to his voice. Allandra raised an eyebrow, "no, I want that woman this week too!" Stringency.

Daniel flabbergasted.

"Have you lost your mind?!"

"I don't want to know if next week you can't pay the rent, get out of here!"

The hostess threw her flip-flops at the girl who was still wearing pajamas pictured*** that. The girl who had just woken up looked confused as well as scared. Seeing the weathered woman in front of him put on a face of war mode makes anyone guts.

"B-well ma'am, I promise .. this weekend I'll pay the rent." The girl answered. Try not to stare at the interlocutor directly.

Without speaking again the hostess left the small plot while slamming the door.

"Fiuh ... You survived this time Zach ...," the girl sagged down to the floor, sighing in relief as if she had just escaped death.

After gathering some energy, the girl got up and went into the bathroom. Today he had to try harder to find work again, the pocket money given by father was very thin. And if you have to go back to Bandung before getting a job he does not want to.

Arriving early in the capital Zachira thought her life would be instantly palatable. Moreover, he was determined to leave because he got a call from one of the automotive companies that are quite famous in the Cempaka Putih area. Dad even willing to sell some of the mother's relic jewelry for his provisions.

"Not much like this, Zach is there to work." Reject the dimpled girl when dad holds up a thick enough envelope.

"Udah, take it .. We don't know what's going to happen, do we?"

And yes, until now Zachira was very grateful to receive all the money. If only it was impossible his life would be hanging on the road just like that.

The company's call was apparently a fraud.

"To my knowledge here is not opening a job opening," the receptionist at the office explained. Make a spirit that was already very hot, fall out instantly. The money he transfers to the man who claims to take care of all the requirements to enter the company is lost, just like the irresponsible man who also disappeared somewhere.

It was so news Zachira wanted to go straight back home. But ... considering what dad gave his guts. He did not want to disappoint father, nor his two brothers and sister.

"Hows it? You accepted?" Ask me from across there. Zachira tries to sound cheerful, "yes .. next week Zach can go straight to work. I don't have to worry." Clearly slowly, begging for mercy in the heart because it is lying.

"Yes, take good care of yourself son, the capital is hard .. You must endure all its temptations."

The girl agreed, trying to stay cheerful even though tears never stopped falling. Just came he already knew how hard the place was.

"Chi Mei, nitip Meong huh?"

After locking the boarding door she held the little white-haired cat to the house next door. An old Chinese man in his 60s trembled to receive the small, fluffy creature.

Inevitably Zach nodded, he certainly could not resist because it had inconvenienced the old woman with her cat that a week ago he found injured on the side of the road. Maybe it was a passing motor.

"Jaudah Zach pamit. Don't forget to feed ya Chi," before going down the stairs the girl turned her head once more. Waving his hands at his cat.

***

Bruk!

"Ish .. be careful if you walk!" Daniel was upset. When he just got out of the car someone hit him almost to fall.

"A-anu .. I'm sorry sir," the little voice of a woman seemed to flutter. Daniel looked down, finding the little girl with a jet mane picking up the scattered brown envelopes.

"I didn't mean it" the girl spoke again, standing upright, clutching the envelope on her chest.

For a while the 28-year-old man blinked, the girl in front of him looked adorable, with wavy unraveling hair and sparse bangs on her forehead as well as her cheeks blushing from the heat.

"Are you okay?" The girl asked again, breaking the man's daydream before her.

"Ah that .. yes, I'm fine." The man answered quickly. Trying to focus.

"I'm sorry then." He said as he left. But only a few steps Daniel again called her, making the woman's step stopped.

"What else is it, sir?" From his face, he was clearly confused. Daniel approached, trying to observe the girl more clearly. Her lips are very thin, natural pink. Perfectly curved eyebrows without any pencil lines. The small eyes however still had doble eyelids, completely as he had been looking for for almost a week.

"What ... are you looking for a job?" Doubtful the man asked. At first the woman looked startled, she squinted her eyes suspiciously. Lest this man have any intention of wanting to sell himself or anything like that.

"What's the deal with you?" Ask the girl coldly. Still suspicious.

Daniel stagapan, "eh .. anu, I have a friend who needs a new worker, if you are interested we can talk he explained at the cafe there." He pointed to a small cafe across the street.

At first the girl seemed to doubt. He was worried that again it was just a scam as it had been. However, there was no harm in trying, he was also tired of constantly going there and looking for a job. Finally he nodded his head, following the completely unknown man to the place indicated.

***

"So your name is Zachira?" The man looked at the girl opposite him. Zachira nodded, letting one of his job application envelopes be observed by the man who introduced himself as Daniel Pradipta.

"Actually, the job I offer is not in the company. But to work personally to my superiors." The man began to explain, looking for the right word so as not to make the girl in front of him misunderstand.

"What kind of job is it, sir?" Pursue Zach curious.

"Children, my boss is a widower with one child. He's 2 years old."

Zachira's tiny eyes grew bigger, "babysiter?" Guess it. Daniel seemed to be scratching his nape not itching, a little confused how to explain it.

"Yes ... that kind of thing, it's just .. You have to be called 'mother' by that child." Slowly, Daniel whispered a little when he said that.

The girl's forehead shriveled, babysiter but called 'mother'?

"So you mean I was hired to pretend to be the mother of that child?!"

"Pstt .. don't be tight, someone else will hear." Daniel tried to cover the girl's mouth with his palm. Zachira patted the man's arm hard, shocked by his sudden movements.

"What kind of woman do you think I am? I really need a job, but that doesn't mean I want to"

"Please .. think before you refuse, I know you are a good woman. That's why I'm offering this job to you Miss Zach." Daniel looked a little parsimonious, he was already confused looking for the woman that Allandra asked for. And at the moment he's in sight, Daniel doesn't want to miss a chance.

"Where is his mother? Why hire a woman? Why doesn't your boss just marry again?" The girl's lips couldn't help but ask. Thinking what kind of man is so complicated looking for a rented mother just for his son? Does he not like what women? I have to hire everything.

"That's a bit complicated to explain. For sure ... If you are willing, I make sure your income will be much greater than ordinary office workers." Daniel tried to offer again.

"Did I look like a double eye?" Zachira looked offended.

"A-anu .. That's not what I mean, I just-"

"Oh, I'll think about it." Cut the girl with a sigh, it's really not this kind of job she wants. Where else to find a job? Just a D3 degree doesn't necessarily help much. It had been almost a month that he had received only rejection. While the cost of renting a place and eating everyday must obviously be met.

"Ah, thank you in advance Miss Zach .. This is my business card, if you want tomorrow morning you can meet me at that address. I'll be happy to wait for you." Daniel seemed very enthusiastic, he really hoped that the girl would be willing to work. To get the task done quickly.

"Okay, then I'll excuse you." Zachira pulls out her right arm. Daniel hurriedly welcomed the helping hand, momentarily admiring how delicate the palm of the girl in front of him was. After shaking hands the girl passed, leaving the man who was still sculpting, staring at her disappearance.
