"Damn! I'm bad luck!"
Allandra half jumped up from the bed. Throw a digital alarm clock into the bed and run into the bathroom. Last night checking the documents made him new able to sleep before morning.
After the shower, he hurriedly put on his shirt and pants, grabbed his briefcase and suit from the hanger and left the room.
"Zio .. where are you?"
"He's here!"
From the kitchen Zachira sounded. Samar aroma of spices typical fried rice seasoning out, making the empty stomach Allandra rebellious ask to be filled. When entering the dining room that is integrated with the kitchen he found Zio was engrossed in drinking milk from inside his pacifier. Meanwhile, Zachira was busy stirring fried rice, humming cheerfully while occasionally serving Zio's chatter.
"Ah, you apparently. Let's have breakfast first." When she realized there was Allandra behind her Zachira threw a smile. Pouring the fried rice on a plate and then approached Allandra.
The man swallowed the saliva, his stomach was really hungry, yet he had to leave immediately.
"No way, I gotta get to the office." Even so tempted by the seafood fried rice that is still steaming, he shook his head. Crouching in front of her son's safety box.
"Dad left for work?" He said while kissing Zio's cheek that always smells typical of the baby.
"Come on, just for a second. You can't go on an empty stomach." Zachira pulled his boss's arm, forced the man to sit on one of the chairs and turned the fried rice plate over and a glass of water.
"But-"
"Once, just eat. In the meantime let me comb her hair huh?" He lowered his head for a moment, staring at Allandra from the side.
The man turned his eyes, waking up outside the room with his hair still in disarray.
"No, I can do it myself." Reject it while combing the hair original with fingers. Zachira again shook her head, "already, you just eat, bad luck later."
"Basic, forced woman!" His grunts began to insert a spoon into the mouth. 'Hey, this is delicious!' He thought, in addition to his late mother, only this time there was a woman who made him breakfast like this.
Zachira smiled happily to see her boss enjoying the food she made. The brush on the table then began to comb the messy hair of Allandra slowly, although not a stylish, hair, she often watched Korean dramas on TV and noticed how the man in the drama was styling his hair.
From the reflection of the shadow on the mirror across the dining table Allandra pranks steal a glance. Watching the taut fingers play with her hair.
Well, if only Zachira was the only woman she could ever touch her head. Nor does he know why, but Zachira is only a servant to him. Not more.
"Why do you see me like that?"
"What's? Ah, no." Allandra shook her head, finished eating by drinking the water in the glass.
The comb combing event was also completed. Zachira smiled with satisfaction at the results of her work. Meanwhile, the man in front of him raised his eyebrows in wonder, amazement, weirdness, and no more.
"What's wrong?" The girl stared at the reflection of their reflection in the mirror.
"Why did you change my hairstyle?" He turned his gaze towards Zachira. The girl knitted her brows, watching the handsome man next to her. There's nothing wrong.
"There's nothing wrong, you look even more handsome." he admitted, turning for a moment towards Allandra then moving closer to Zio's boxes, the boy had started to fuss, tired of sitting.
Allandra was stunned for a moment.
"You're saying I'm handsome?" Forgetting for a moment that he should immediately go to the man's office looked at Zachira's back.
The one asked turned a glance, "yes ... what's wrong?"
"No, I was born handsome!" the man exclaimed proudly.
"Oh yeah? Just to know I was born handsome, I think everyone was born naked" he said lightly, leaving Allandra agape.
That girl! Really am!
"She's late?" Just about to open his mouth, the girl had already reminded him. Inevitably Allandra relented, rushing out of the mansion.
'Just look at you later!'
***
"You got a haircut?"
Daniel, who had just entered Allandra's study with a pile of files, suddenly asked. Surprised by the new appearance of the man in front of him who had rarely changed hairstyles.
"Oh come on .. You're the one who asked that question!" Allandra rolled her eyes with a slash, once again glancing at her appearance from the reflection of the glass wall. Is it true that his appearance changed that drastically?
"So you look different today? Who's combed anyway?" The gloomy man stared in question mark. Making Allandra turn her face away, hiding the red tinge that suddenly adorned her cheeks.
'Shit! Why am I so nervous?' It's in the heart.
"Lan?"
"Ah, no .. This is just a hairstyle in question?" Rebuttals. Trying to look calm.
Although Daniel was still curious, he stopped asking again. Choose to redefine the document to Allandra to be signed immediately.
"Zachira how are you?"
Suddenly he asked. Making the movement of Allandra's pen stopped. The man paused for a moment then replied, "he ... he's fine, maybe."
"You better not be too hard on him. I think .. she's a good girl." The man with the cream tuxedo spoke with a glaring gaze, staring at the bustle of the Capital's streets below.
Allandra did not say anything, though in her little heart she agreed to the words of her friend.
Yes, Zachira is a good woman. And that's what he's afraid of. The last good woman he knew could only leave a deep wound, one that to this day is so impregnable that it is hard to forget.
***
Almost 15 minutes of Allandra breaking into his study. Assisted by secretary Yu they traced each inch of the 10 by 10 meter area carefully.
"I'm sure sir, I submitted the documents yesterday afternoon."
Secretary Yu made a sound, sorting through the pile of documents under the table. In his heart he was upset not playing, this was not the first time Allandra had forgotten to put an item like this. Since long ago he was known to be forgetful and careless.
One day he even forgot where Zio was when shopping at a convenience store. All day he was looking for the boy, cursing the building security to all the staff and even the janitor.
Though from the beginning he did not take Zio with him to the supermarket, leave him to secretary Yu because the boy was taking a nap. Really troublesome.
"You sure?" Allandra responded to his remark with a narrowed look.
"Of course, I'm not forgetful!" The man named Yuhan answered.
"So you mean I'm the forgetful one?" Allandra's turn, staring at her interlocutor sharply, was on her waist.
"Ah .. anu, that's not the intent-"
Drtnt ....
The heads of the two men turned almost simultaneously to the table. Allandra's phone vibrated, the screen twinkled.
Forgotten about the forgetfulness and forgetfulness earlier, Allandra rushed to reach for a cell phone, there was the name "Stupid Girl" listed there.
"Can you not call me during office hours? I'm busy!" Angry smirk.
"Calm down sir, are you sure you didn't forget something at home this morning?"
Allandra paused for a moment, knitting an eyebrow. "You found my map?"
"Yup!"
"Oh Gosh .. bring it now!" the man exclaimed in relief. He just remembered this morning putting the map on the dining table, because he had forgotten to bring it to the office.
"With Zio?"
"Of course! You think he can be left alone?" The man rattled his hair irritated. Anxious, if only he could want her to eat that woman round and round.
"OK okay, you don't have to squeeze hair like that, another half hour I'm up." Zachira sounded half laughing.
The man gasped in shock, circulating his gaze around the room suspiciously and miserably, how could the girl know she was squeezing hair? Did he put a camera or something? Couldn't that girl be a stalker?
"Oh come on .. You don't have to be so prejudiced, there's no camera in your room, I've seen you squeeze your hair if you get upset with me." Say lightly. Make Allandra even more flabbergasted.
"Hey you-"
Tut!
Just wanted to make a sound, the phone connection was cut off. He swore in annoyance. That girl is always surprising! He should be vigilant from now on.

"Zio .. don't run, it will fall!"
Zachira called out a small cry as she ran in, following Zio who instantly frowned as soon as he got down from the sling. Since the baby is often taken to the office makes the boy with the tiny body familiar. Some of the office staff greeted him, anxious.
"Dad!" He exclaimed excitedly to see Allandra come out from inside the elevator. The man smiled broadly, half running to meet his tripping little son.
"Hey son!" It was as soon as Zio threw himself into the arms. Showered the child's chubby cheeks with a kiss of love.
Zachira smiled slightly. He was always happy to see the treatment of his boss on Zio. Even if he's so cold, annoying, overprotective, pede complex.
"You late!" Hiss the man, looked at Zachira with a tail of eyes. The one who was stared at actually rolled his eyes with a slap, he was only five minutes late. And that's because Zio Keukeuh wants to chase the bulky cat in the front parking lot.
"Pardon me .. This is the document." The woman tried to keep smiling, handing the blue map over to Allandra. The man accepted it and handed Zio over.
"Go eat something with your .. mbu, yayah worked first." he said, a little stuttered when calling the word 'mbu', even though it has been almost two months to stay one roof, he said, he had never gotten used to calling Zachira that way.
"We'd to go home now ...." Zachira put a hat on Zio's head. Allandra raised an eyebrow, "why? You guys just got there."
"Yes ... But, what are you doing here too? Mending at home, making cakes." Zachira kalem.
Allandra looked shocked. "Kue? Can you make a cake?" asked the man with obsidian hazel in astonishment.
"Of course ... What kind of cake do you want me to make?" The girl asked, smiling.
Allandra seemed to think for a moment, rubbing her pointy chin.
"Can you make a choco lava cake?"
Turn of Zachira's raised eyebrows. Hello ... did he not hear wrong? Choco lava? Just like kids!
"Can ... yes I will make it." The girl finally nodded. Bidding home, let Zio wave until they came out of the building.
Allandra looked at their backs in silence, how much they looked like mother and son.
Damn, what did he just think?
