"What does Auntie think? Have I gone too excessive?"
Erlangga discarded the orange juice that he had just consumed. After defeating Zachary, his thirst led him to consume a half glass of juice.
"You guys are simply playing practical jokes. Thank goodness you're okay Er," said Sandra. Earlier, she had been concerned after observing Zachary's angry expression. Fear of being irresponsible with a child.
"No, Auntie, he deserves to be beaten. His conduct is demeaning to women," Erlangga said. His eyes regarded Sandra's shadow. Similar to the look of a child who misses their mother.
"He certainly went a bit too far. But next time, refrain from doing so. In addition to being disrespectful, I fear the individual will do something desperate."
Erlangga merely nodded in understanding. Did not continue the discussion with Sandra. For him, Sky's mother was identical to his mother. A caring mother who is too concerned about her child.
"Yes, Auntie desires to cook lunch initially. Er, don't mind getting left behind. Or just go to Sky's room. No issue."
Erlangga appeared to prefer the second alternative. He came here because Sky invited him. Ultimately, no one was there at her residence. Instead, he encountered a terrible event. Sky is taking a shower at the moment, so he elected to remain in the living room with Sandra.
"Will Sky give permission, auntie?" Erlangga asked scared. Indeed, they have pledged to be friends, yet Erlangga remains awkward.
"Yes, no issue. You are welcome to play in his room. His father purchased a new computer for Sky. I think Sky invite you because he wanted to showcase you," Sandra speculated.
Aren't all children similar? If they have a new toy, they will show it off to their non-owner buddies. There is a sense of pride. Sandra believed that Sky would be similar to the other children.
But the contrary was true. Erlangga shook his head inconclusively. Never mind the fact that Sky has quality toys. What his pals enjoy, he was unaware. Erlangga felt sadness in his heart. Sky hadn't shown to him.
"Mommy stated that she would return home late since she would be joining Daddy at a business meeting. The house is empty because the maid has also returned to the village. Sky offered to watch her until her mother arrived," said Erlangga in a mournful tone.
Sandra was likewise anxious. Being at home alone is undesirable. What else is Erlangga's age? Thankfully, Sky led him here.
"Yes, it's okay, Er. You visit daily, and Auntie is doing well. Comparable to having two lovely boys."
Erlangga blushed at hearing the compliment. He is appreciative that boys like him are not even considered defective. Even Sandra remarked how gorgeous he was. What heart doesn't bloom?
"Come over here. I will instruct you on playing futsal online."
Sky called from the room's front entrance. Erlangga approached Sky with caution while his eyes sparkled. Did not anticipate any of their buddies to advance. Sandra also enjoyed her son's activities.

"This afternoon, Zachary Lukman visited your apartment and compelled Mrs. Sandra to open the door," the letter reads.
Andre was notified of Zachary's persuasion just as he entered the building's foyer to return to his office. Andre elected to return to Bara's office, as this was an essential topic.
What do you mean? How did he know where Sandra was? Bara said fiercely. The man brought his hands together in front of his chin. Disappointed that he missed something similar. What if Sandra is injured?
"It appears that Zachary discovered Mrs. Sandra's location. However, he was unable to enter the apartment. Master Sky and his companion returned from school to assist Mrs. Sandra." Andre explained to Bara, who was already emotional, to calm him down.
"If I may make a recommendation, Mr. Bara's family should relocate to a mansion or another residence with round-the-clock security and bodyguards. This is preferable to a more private residence."
Bara appeared to consider Andre's suggestion. The point was, he did not want this to occur again.
"I shall now return to the mansion. Ask your men to keep an eye on Sandra and Sky. Now I'm going home."
Andre nodded and took notes on Bara's remarks. In the meantime, his lord dashed out of the room. He followed quickly behind. Being in that room for so long without his Master was unsettling.
"Where are you going, Bara? What a thrill!"
The frowning glare of Brisia halted Bara in her tracks. His sister did not indicate she would visit the office. What was her desire?
"Sister, soon. I'll call you. There is currently a sense of urgency. Bye."
Ignoring Brisia's pleas for his return. Bara continued going while gesturing behind her with his hand.
Let him handle his sister later on. His immediate goal was the safety of his wife and children.
"What an unfortunate child! I regret that my mother sacrificed her life to give birth to you. Children born with no etiquette towards their elders," Brisia muttered.
She turned around and did not enter Bara's chamber. Why would she travel there if the one she was supposed to see was not present?
Brisia took the opportunity to pose a query before her departure.
"Where is Bara going?" she asked Bara's seated secretary.
"Out for lunch, ma'am," responded the secretary.
Brisia felt unsatisfied with the attractive woman's response when she asked, "Where are we having lunch?"
"I'm not sure about that, ma'am. Mr. Bara has recently chosen to return home for Mrs. Sandra's cooking."
"Wow." Brisia's lips quivered in disapproval. How could her sister be such a fool to visit Sandra at her home?
Brisia passed by silently. A fleeting thought crossed her mind to visit Bara's residence. Sandra will be surprised by her. The face that she despised so much ever since she first appeared a few years ago.

Bara was waiting for Sandra to open the door for him while he stood at the entrance. He might have entered with little effort. Simply put, he desired to prank Sandra from time to time.
"You...?" Sandra murmured with disbelief upon seeing Bara. Sandra already had negative thoughts if Zachary returning. Fortunately, her suspicion was not confirmed.
"I'm sorry, honey. May I enter?" Bara said softly. She will not get his meaning.
Consequently, Sandra threw open the flat door. Allowing Bara entry.
"Just enter, what's the matter? Geez," Sandra complained about Bara's peculiar behavior.
"It is preferable to greet your husband's return. Why are you becoming hostile toward me?" Bara taunted.
Not forgetting he hugged Sandra from behind. Wide-open sniffing of the smooth and taut neck. Sandra continues to wear an apron for cooking.
"Do you cook a lot, honey?" Bara questioned, amazed by the extensive menu.
"There's Erlangga. I simply provide them with snacks to play with. How about that? Sky has never brought a friend home before in my life."
Sandra developed a permanent smile. At least in her native nation, Sky was considerably more friendly. Not a bad choice to relocate here.
"That is satisfactory. Where did they go?"
"They are within the room."
Ting...
Again, the bell rang. Who else was present? Sandra removed her apron and walked towards the entrance.
Neutralizing the heart rate of nervousness. I hoped it wasn't a freak like the previous visitor.
