Ryan and Malika refused to let go of their embrace. Ignore the annoying noise.
"Hey, are you guys deaf or on purpose, huh?" A question that, of course, Rendra knew the answer to.
"Honey, I feel like I heard someone's voice, but why is there no one, huh?" Malika let go of her hand.
The woman looked around as if she was looking for someone.
"Why do I get goosebumps, Honey?" Malika rubbed the back of her neck then hugged Ryan again.
"Could you have an occupant in your house, dear?" Ryan also responded to his lover's words.
"I think so, Honey." Malika hid her face in Ryan's chest.
"Hey, you guys think I'm a ghost, huh?" Rendra threw a sofa cushion at the lovers.
Malika couldn't help but laugh when she saw the annoyed face of her cousin.
"What are you doing, Rendra, here again? Just disturb it." Finally the woman released her arms from her lover.
"I miss Ryan." Rendra rolled his eyes, teasing his assistant.
"Rendra!" Malika shouted annoyed and threw a punch at Rendra's body with a sofa cushion
Rendra ran away from the lovers with a face full of satisfaction after successfully making Malika angry.
Yes, the thing that bothered him the most was when he was being flirtatious with Ryan. Instantly his emotions will rise and lose control. Rendra always enjoys Malika's annoyed face. As if getting an injection of enthusiasm.
Rendra stopped his footsteps for a moment before getting into his car which was parked in Malika's yard.
"I miss you, Aleeta," he whispered into the night air. Hope the wind can convey the message of longing to the idol of the heart.
"Ah, I'm starting to go crazy. In fact, the moon in the sky turned into Aleeta's face," Rendra whispered in a lower voice.
Meanwhile Ryan was calming Malika who was very upset with Rendra who always bullied him.
"Calm down, Honey. Even if Rendra talks like you always know, right, when he's just kidding?" Ryan asked while holding Malika's shoulders.
"I know that too, honey. But I'm annoyed that I'm always trying to keep us apart. Isn't he satisfied that he's been wearing you all day?" Malika scowled in annoyance remembering the incident after incident similar to the previous one.
"Use?" Ryan frowned in surprise at the word.
"Yes, dear. He, right, always uses your energy every day. It's as if you are something he has, even though you are, right, mine," protested Malika still with an annoyed face.
Ryan held back his laughter by clenching his fists right in front of his lips.
"Tomorrow I will write an appointment with Rendra. He must let us date at least three times a week. Ah, or four?
Ryan became confused which one to choose. For him to meet every day is still not enough. Never mind when he is far away, even when he is close he still misses Malika.
"Anyway, I don't want to hear anymore, let alone see you replace Rendra to meet the women who are betrothed to him," whined Malika.
"Yes, dear. Uncle will not match Rendra again. He already knows that Rendra already has a girlfriend."
"What? Lover? Why didn't I know?" Malika looked at Ryan. "You guys are bad! Didn't tell me." Malika scowled.
"Oh, that... to be precise they're not officially dating yet, honey. Only Rendra really wants that woman." Ryan was a little nervous.
"You mean that woman doesn't accept Sis Rendra's love?" Malika looks enthusiastic.
"He is still struggling to let go of his single status."
Malika's face turned into a cheerful one. Instantly his laughter echoed.
"Honey, you're all right, right?" Ryan seemed afraid of the change in his girlfriend's mood. Afraid that Malika was being approached by an invisible creature.
"I'm very curious about that woman. I want to meet her and give her a special gift." Malika still hasn't stopped laughing. "This will be big news. A Rendra was rejected by a woman," continued the woman.

Dawn had just left and it was still a reddish blue. However, a man's composure had been disturbed ever since. Even though he had turned off the alarm that disturbed his sleep, another sound kept ringing and forced him to wake up.
Slowly he reached out and groped towards the nightstand which was located right beside the bed.
"Ugh, who the heck is that bothering you so early in the morning?" grumbled the man as he looked at the clock it was still six in the morning.
He blinked again trying to adjust the dim light entering his retina.
"Ha-"
"Why did you take so long to answer the phone, anyway?" protested the baritone voice from the other side.
"Hello, who is this, huh?" the man asked again, not sure who was calling him.
"Heh, you're looking to die, aren't you? Want me to cut your salary?"
The familiar bluff managed to bring him back. Now he knew exactly who had called so early. Yes, only a Rajendra Alister who always threatened him like that.
"Sorry, Boss, I was still sleepy. But now it's not," said Ryan looking for an excuse.
"Get up right now and come here in 20 minutes." Rendra said firmly.
"But it's the weekend, Boss," Ryan protested unhappily.
Ah, can't that boss just let him have a nice weekend?
"I don't accept excuses, Ryan. You're my assistant, so you have to be ready 24 hours whenever I call you," Rendra snarled as if he didn't accept any excuses.
After saying what he wanted to say, Rendra immediately ended the conversation. In fact, Ryan did not have time to express his refusal. That means like it or not, he has to do it.
"Goodbye my precious weekend," the man whispered into the air.
Yes, that was all he could do now. If you complain to your boss, the consequences are related to salary cuts. Of course he wouldn't want that.
Ryan got out of bed and headed for the bathroom. It was the fastest shower the man had ever taken. He quickly grabbed the car keys and ran.
There's no such thing as a quiet street for the capital city, even though it's not office hours. Ryan glanced at the clock on his wrist.
"Shit! ten more minutes," he cursed and increased the speed of the car.
Less than three minutes of the allotted time, Ryan had arrived at the office. He quickly ran to the elevator that took him to Rendra's room.
"Good morning, Boss. Sorry I'm late ...." Ryan hurriedly opened the door and immediately ran to Lace's desk.
How surprised the man was when he realized that his boss wasn't there.
"Where is he? Is he home again?" Ryan looked around. Until the vibration of the phone in his pocket woke him up.
"Ha-"
"Ryan, where are you? Why are you still not here, huh? It's been 20 minutes already!" Ryan pushed the flat object away from his ear.
"Where's your boss? I'm already at the office, but why isn't there anyone?" Ryan asked back.
The cell phone was not held to his ear, but he deliberately pressed the loudspeaker button on his cellphone.
"What are you doing in the office, huh?" Rendra even asked back.
