David gave a smile looking at the panicked Zia while removing the makeup on her face.
Her eyes never escaped from Zia's beautiful face. Although Ciara had ruffled - random Zia's face with a clown-like makeup streak, the woman still looked beautiful.
Zia's beauty never changed, even looking more beautiful in David's eyes.
Only Zia was able to make him fall in love that deeply. Zia is the only woman she has ever fought for. Of the many beautiful women who approached David because of his wealth and charm. But not true for Zia, the woman was not interested in him even a little to prefer men who are not comparable to him.
In the end David understood, Zia was not a woman who put treasure above all else.
"Sorry Zi,, Ciara did like that," In the end David made a voice after looking at Zia for quite a while. The handsome man uttered a sincere apology for his son's misbehavior.
"It's okay, sister," said Zia. Since then he was very uncomfortable because he was constantly stared at by David. Especially now that they are in the room and only the little girl in David's sling is the barrier between the two.
"Cia, aunty go home first, yes," Zia asked the little girl for permission.
Being in an apartment with other men, makes Zia feel scared. Although there is Ciara and baby sitter, just look at Zia did not dare to linger in the apartment for long.
"Don't go home auntie," Whiney Cia with an instantly sad look. The little girl had just felt the happiness of being able to play with Zia who was able to make Ciara like playing with the figure of a mother.
"Cia wants to play with a pretty aunt," whine again. This made Zia look confused. She could not bear to see the sadness on Ciara's face, but Zia also did not want to create misunderstandings by staying in the apartment with David.
"Tante has to go home first, next time we play again. Aunt promise," cried Zia while pointing the little finger at Ciara.
The little girl immediately threw away her face. His face pouted because he was annoyed at Zia who was going home.
Zia smiled clumsyly, the more confused she was making.
"Are you busy.?" Ask David. Zia shook her head slowly.
"Don't go home first Zi. Accompany Ciara in a moment," his request pleaded.
Zia nodded quickly.
"Sorry sister, I can't" Zia refused gently.
"I promise next time I'll accompany Ciara again,,"
Zia approached, rubbing Ciara's head.
"I'm sorry dear Cia, aunt has to go home first. Next time we play again" cried Zia with a fluffy smile to persuade Ciara. But unfortunately the boy actually hid his face in the niche of David's neck.
Zia could only sigh slowly.
"Sorry brother, I'll go home first" Pamit Zia was polite. He rushed out of Ciara's room.
"Wait for Zi," David quickly chased after Zia's steps and clasped her hand.
Zia reflex stopped, staring at the wrist that was being held by David.
"Don't be like this, sister" said Zia as she pulled her hand.
David looks misbehaved, also not feeling good to Zia.
"Sorry Zi," he said.
Zia just nodded then moved from there.
The sound of Ciara's crying had stopped Zia's steps, but in the end Zia remained out of David's apartment to avoid slander as well to keep Gavin's feelings later.
"Cia wants to play with a beautiful aunt pah,," Rengek Cia still with her loud crying voice.
David seemed to be breathing slowly. He grabbed Ciara and patted her on the back slowly.
"Let me be like you, sir," The baby sitter asked Ciara from David's sling.
"No need to bi. Me and Ciara will be out for a while,,"
"Please get Ciara's shoes," he asked.
The baby sitter immediately rushed to get Ciara's shoes and put them on.
"Let's eat some ice cream and buy some barbie" he said. Ciara just nodded, yet still cried softly.
Being a single parent is not easy for David. Although he had taken care of Ciara since the little girl was born into the world, but that does not mean David has no trouble taking care of her.
The thing that makes him dizzy is when Ciara is already whining, what else is asking for a mother.

"Please call Mitha, tell her to prepare a report now.in 30 minutes we're there,,"
Gavin's word to Nindy. At least Gavin did not look at Nindy who was sitting across from his desk with a distance of 4 meters. He looked at the laptop in front of him.
Gavin's big voice made Nindy slightly jerked because since then the beautiful woman's mind was looking far away.
"Well sir," Nindy grabbed the desk's phone, and started calling Mitha.
She put the phone back on after she finished telling Mitha.
Nindy's eyes could not be separated from the handsome men who were sitting opposite her. His face increasingly looks handsome while in serious mode staring at the laptop screen. The woman immediately shifted her mind which was starting to get out of control.
Nindy breathed a heavy breath. The woman massaged her temples which felt throbbing pain.
His mind is in chaos right now.
Gavin glanced at his watch, it was time for him to go to the branch restaurant that Zia managed in the past few months.
"Nindy,," Call Gavin down. The woman did not respond, seen staring at the file in front of her but with eyes that glare far away.
Again the woman daydreamed.
"Your.!" once again Gavin called his secretary. But Nindy's appearance is still cool in her daydream. Although Gavin had already raised his voice, Nindy still did not turn her head.
Gavin shook his head as he glanced at Nindy and found her secretary daydreaming. Gavin got up from his seat and walked over to Nindy's desk.
"If it hurts to go home," cried Gavin firmly. Again, Nindy was shocked. In his eyes Gavin who was standing firmly in front of his desk.
"Eh, I'm sorry, sir, what's the matter.?" Apparently Nindy's mind drifted far away, she didn't hear Gavin's words at all even in such a close distance.
"You can go home now. It looks like you are not well," Gavin said firmly.
Nindy looks gawking, she feels bad for Gavin for being confused while at work. Until Gavin thought he was sick.
"No sir, I'm fine." Follow after a moment of silence.
"There's just something I'm thinking about" he said softly.
"Don't bring personal problems into the workplace so you can focus on work." Gavin's speech actually makes Nindy more and more unbecoming with all the feelings mixed in his mind.
"We're off to the branch restaurant now," Gavin said. He went back to his desk to get his laptop and cell phone.
Meanwhile, Nindy takes care of her desk, and prepares to join Gavin at the branch restaurant.
When he got into Gavin's car, the woman was again in a jittery and awkward spot. Nindy did not even dare to look at Gavin who had started doing his car.
This kind of atmosphere made Nindy uncomfortable.
The distance to the central restaurant to the branch restaurant only takes 30 minutes. As long as they don't talk to each other. Gavin was also busy with his own thoughts. The man kept thinking about Zia who would not be home for the next 1 month.
That made Gavin even more distraught over his cold attitude towards Zia a few months ago.
Household exams that hit, making Gavin had changed attitude.
As a husband, Gavin feels that he failed to protect Zia, because in the end he himself has hurt Zia.
Gavin loved and coveted Zia, a woman who for many years had given her immense happiness and love.
