My Beloved Uncle
C6. Unsuspecting

The clock was showing almost midnight, after Isya prayers and dinner last night, Ziel returned to the ground floor to help his employees re-tidy up the package to be sent tomorrow to the recipient's house.

Ziel's expedition office is open 24 hours, and sometimes Ziel will help his employees sort packages overtime.

"Bang Ziel, uda wants midnight. Better break brother" Said Soleh one of Ziel's employees

"Look Leh!" Ziel answered without leaving his job.

"Kasian Madam Young Bang, the time of the newlyweds has been in staying overtime" Celoteh Iwan. Ziel simply replied to the employee with a small smile.

"Yes. Already, then I rest first. You guys also get a break" The five Ziel employees who came in that night nodded at Ziel's words.

Ziel also stepped up his legs up the stairs to his room.

A heavy sigh erupted when he found the Flower standing wearing a pretty sexy nightgown.

"Mas" Flowers called out to Ziel gently and walked slowly and teasingly closer to Ziel who actually turned her gaze to another direction, reluctant to see the seductive Flower.

Ziel brushed off Flower's hand when he was about to touch Ziel's arm to make the woman complain.

"Remember your limits on Flowers. We're divorced!" Ziel said slowly but with great emphasis.

Ziel deliberately spoke the week for fear of being heard by his employees and also feared waking Alina who was asleep in Ziel's room.

"Go back to Kamum's room Don't go downstairs in such clothes!" Ziel's word but it makes Flowers feel Ziel Ziel's remark as a sign of jealousy.

"Jealous?"

Ziel chuckled in response to the words of Bunga who was putting on a sweet smile to Ziel who was still at home looking the other way.

"Dreams. I just don't want my employees to be distracted by your looks!" Said Ziel by pressing the tone of speech.

Flowers looked back at Ziel's body in annoyance at having already ignored him.

"Compulsive. What impo**" Mumbled Flowers that his affection can still be heard by Ziel when going into his room.

"Not arrogant let alone impo***. Thank God I am still normal and for sure he will only be able to wake up when with a partner who is halal for me to touch!" Said Ziel slowly to the Flower.

"I do not want to touch even fertilize fruit that has grown from other seeds. In the end, your understanding of the religion that we profess, I think You already know with the intent of My words!" Ziel instantly closed the door of his room and locked it from the inside ignoring the existence of the Flower who was holding back his anger by shouting a small scream in front of the door of Ziel's room.

Ziel stepped his feet toward Alina who was sleeping, then laid his body beside Alina's body.

"Don't cry anymore, baby. There's an uncle who'll take care of you!" Ziel rubbed the top of Alina's head gently making the little girl feel annoyed and moved her body uncomfortably.

"Sleep" Ziel hugged Alina's tiny body.

"Mother" Alina called out softly and returned Ziel's embrace to fall back asleep in her sleep.

"Good Night dear" Ziel kissed Alina's head before closing her eyes to chase after Alina in her dream.

Morning's approaching.

Ziel squirmed his body when the sound of adzan shubuh reverberated from a distance.

"Alia" Ziel rushed up and occupied his body. A soft sigh was heard when he saw Alina just finishing her murotal.

"When you wake up?" Ziel stepped over to Alina who had just placed our holy ones on a small shelf where Ziel was performing his worship.

"So Uncle" Alina kissed the back of Ziel's hand with reverence as Ziel was near her.

"Wait Uncle. We pray together" Alina nodded to Ziel. Ziel rushed to the bathroom to clean and purify himself before praying with Alina.

After performing the prayer, Alina rushed to the pantry that was still in Ziel's room which was blocked with Ziel's bedroom, while Ziel continued his worship activities by teaching.

Alina is still 11 years old, but both Mother and her two Eyeang Uti have taught the little girl to be independent, even sometimes Alina likes to make breakfast without being ordered by her Mother.

So it was not unusual for Alina to be in the kitchen.

"Alia can cook?" Alina squealed in surprise when she heard Ziel's voice sounding on her right side.

"Uncle surprised Alina!" Alina patted Ziel's left arm softly and it made Ziel smile and gently damaged Alina's hair.

"Surely this can be eaten?" Ziel teases his niece when Alina will move her homemade fried rice to the plate Alina prepared earlier.

"God willing Uncle. Try a chip first" Alina took a spoon then took her homemade fried rice and fed Ziel.

"What a great guy. It turns out that Alia's cuisine is delicious" Praise Ziel who immediately took both plates of tags already containing fried rice made by Alina.

"You're a kid who's good at cooking. Who is teaching?. Mother?"

"Mother and Eyang Uti always taught Alina to be independent Uncle." Alina replied and Ziel only nodded at that answer.

"It's delicious Alia. Uncle is proud of Alia at this age, Alia can already be independent and even cook like this"

"It's so shameful Alin's Uncle" Ziel laughed and broke Alina's hair back to Alina's little kiss.

"If Alia is bored, Alia can get out of the room" Tegur Ziel when he saw Alina look depressed.

"Can Uncle?" Alina asked as she blinked her eyeballs.

"May, but only around the shophouse." Alina nodded in agreement to Ziel's proposal.

"If Alina helps you downstairs, too?" Ziel nodded slowly making Alina smile then hugged Ziel's body tightly.

"But not the heavy ones. Alia was quite helpful in recording the package to be sent." Alina nodded back to Ziel.

"Yes, Uncle has now moved Alia down" Alina rushed to follow Ziel who was about to come out of the room.

"For Mas. I'm ready to eat Ziel's breakfast"

Flower said as Ziel had just opened the door of his room. The greeting of the Flower contact alone makes both eyeballs Ziel patterned, because once the flower tumben prepares breakfast for Ziel.

"I have breakfast. Come on Alia we're going downstairs!" Ziel also pulled Alina's right hand slowly and invited her down to ignore the returning Flower who could only stare at Ziel and Alina's departure with an annoyed look.
