The closed eyelids have now been opened wide while sniffing the aroma of coffee that burst in the room. Aleta tried to resuscitate herself to collect the remains of lives that are still floating somewhere.

"Good morning,"

Aleta flinched then immediately sat down and turned to look at someone who was greeting her. He clearly saw Damar who was sitting relaxing while holding a cup of coffee in his hand.

So delicious Damar sip the coffee until the sound of slurup. Aleta swallowed the saliva when she was tempted by the aroma of the coffee and the sipping sound made by the man.

"How about, you sleep well?" damar asked, while he knew when he heard his snoring voice a few minutes ago.

"Do you want to go to my room?" aleta asked no heed to Damar's question.

"Waiting for you to serve me" he replied lightly.

"I'm not your servant. You've come to the wrong place" explained Aleta.

"Ok, I'll change the sentence. I'm here because I'm waiting for you to wake up and I want to have breakfast with you" Damar repeated, smiling.

"Ish, what spirit he was, to say that disgusting sentence. Uhh!" muttered Aleta shuddered in horror as well as disgust.

"Why is your face like that? you were amazed to hear my words," Damar said proudly.

"It looks like your brain is short, see a doctor. You're sick," Aleta suggested, the more certain that Damar's head was damaged by yesterday's accident.

"Yes I am sick, that's why I ask you to take care of me until I recover" he said looking for opportunities.

"Bas crazy, get out of my room now!" pinta Aleta throwing a pillow.

Damar catches the pillow quickly. "I'm serious, heal me fast," he said again.

"I'm not a doctor, just go to the hospital." Reply Aleta.

"But I want you to heal me" lamented Damar who was becoming more and more.

"Crazy, go there! your joke is not funny" protested Aleta again throw a pillow.

Instead of going, Damar was more happy to tease Aleta and now they are involved in a pillow fight. They threw pillows at each other until the pillow hit someone who was standing in the doorway.

Bukk!

"Welcome pag-" disconnected.

Aleta and Damar stop the war. Both of them were surprised to close their mouths when they saw the waiter was exposed to drinking water that he carried with a tray, due to being hit by a pillow throw.

His uniform was wet and the water in the glass was no longer visible, all spilled was not left. Quickly Aleta approached while bringing a small towel to the waiter.

"I'm sorry, it's because of him" Aleta explained as she helped him.

"Just son, you threw the pillow at me first" Damar replied.

"That's because you always piss me off" said Aleta staring sinisterly at Damar who now faced her.

"What! you said I was stupid," Aleta snorted to Damar in anger.

"Yes, you're a fool!" challenge Damar while staring fiercely.

Hearing the quarrel the two made the waiter stroke the chest. He did not think, the couple always quarreled because of trivial problems.

"Master, Miss, stop it. No need to make a fuss like this!" pinta the servant begged both of them.

Damar and Aleta did not heed the servant's words, they were cursing in their hearts while throwing cruel gazes without anyone wanting to budge.

"I'll call Erick, if you're still like this!" threaten the waiter immediately.

Upon hearing Erick's name, the two finally ended the quarrel with each other's gazes. Aleta pushed Damar's body out of her room and closed the door.

While Damar snorted angrily, the intention to make Aleta praise him was now extinct was precisely a mockery and a rude swearing from Aleta. Women like Aleta are hard to woo with sweet words.

"Argh, you crazy lady!" damar muttered while in front of the door of Aleta's room.

...***...

Day until late afternoon Aleta activities are only busy with serving Damar. The man ruled as usual, asking for this and that if it was not in accordance with his wishes, Aleta also had to repeat it even though at the beginning he was right.

Sweat began to stick out of his hair when Damar asked him to collect a tennis ball that he threw in any direction. Not only that, Damar again pranks Aleta by deliberately kicking a rattan basket containing a collection of tennis balls in it.

Aleta's eyes widened to see the tennis balls back out of the basket and seen the perpetrator who pretended not to do anything. Damar averted his gaze from the eagle-eyed gaze of Aleta while whistling leisurely.

"Aarghhh, motherfucker!" swearing Aleta in front of Damar while clenching the tennis ball that is in the grip.

Damar only raises the shoulders with the corners of the lips pulled down and the forehead shriveling. His steps seemed relaxed as he left Aleta there.

"Spirit!" ledek Damar before stepping away.

Hearing the tearing from Damar's mouth made Aleta grow irritated. He stared at the man's back for a moment before finally throwing a tennis ball in his grip.

Bukk!

The tennis ball was right about the back until Damar turned his back, then approached Aleta again. The swift steps of the man made Aleta's guts shrink a little.

Aleta walked one step back to avoid the now approaching Damar. However, Aleta accidentally stepped on one of the balls there and made it almost slip backwards.

Grab!

Damar immediately caught Aleta's wrist so as not to fall and now their position is very close because the reflex of Aleta's other hand is circular at Damar's waist while Damar's other hand is on Aleta's back.

Aleta stared into Damar's beautiful bead of eyes. The man raised one corner of his eyebrow as they clashed for a few seconds. There was a heartbeat that they felt each, despite trying to cover up.

A gentle subtle vibration slips into Aleta's recesses as Damar warms to her. Kissing his forehead to his lips and gently rubbing his head he had felt, only Aleta still denied it all. He assumes if it is just a napu that does not come from the word love or sincerity that comes from the heart.

Aleta blinked her eyes and released her hand from Damar's grasp and moved away from her while staring intently. The gaze he used to show for a Damar.
