Morning has replaced the role of night. Brian carries out his activities as usual and is now sitting at his desk after breakfast. Brian intends to read the entire contents of the file on the USB which makes him curious whether it is a company secret or just learning material.

Brian wasn't sure if all the data was wrong. While engrossed in reading the sentence structure and rows of numbers as a transaction report or company net profit, Brian realized something was odd.

"The employee salary budget was suddenly cut for no reason even though the company's monthly net profit is quite extraordinary, but the employees have to suffer. Oh, come on. They are not slaves," said Brian while staring at his still-silent computer screen.

The file that Brian read was a report from the finance team which handled many things including data. Brian realized something was wrong.

“Some reports are inaccurate. But where does the money go?” Brian thought.

Exhale roughly. The man again read every sentence very

    Back to busy Monday activities. Brian went to the office feeling light. Bringing his car as usual, Brian greeted the team members who were with him in the parking lot. James always looked neat in everything except when he was drunk."You seem to be in a good mood today, Brian?" James noticed Brian in the elevator.Brian glanced briefly then smiled."That's good. "It has to be like that," said James with a smile.In the elevator there were not only the two of them,- but also employees from other divisions.“You stayed up late again?”Brian's attention was drawn to the front where the sound came from."Well, what can I do besides staying up late, even on holidays," said the long-haired girl who looked a little messy.“You should just let it be. That's not your job. Besides, what do you get from working overtime on Saturdays and Sundays besides being tired?” commented the short-haired girl. The girl's gaze fell on her partner who just sighed.Brian listened to what they were talking abou

    One by one the problems that the company tried to hide were finally known by Brian personally. With the help of James, and other team members, they witnessed the discrimination of workers either directly or not."This is not school, but a workplace," Brian said irritably."Even though the workplace, that does not mean there is no. You know Brian, in a workplace like this, a large company, each division can be an enemy. Where the competition is in force," Selena explained.Brian listened well."At a certain time, the competition will stand out. Get something, even worse, get a salary discount," Kattie explained."What?" Brian was surprised to hear a story like that.How could a large company coveted by many people including Brian, apparently experience decay?"Why are you surprised? That's normal," Leon said still calm even though Brian was angry at that fact."You don't do anything?" asked Brian.Members of one accounting team in turn. They are still in the office."It doesn't do anyt

    "This won't be a problem?" Brian asked Leon who kept walking in front of him. He didn't know where they were going because Leon didn't answer Brian's question.But apparently, Leon brought Brian to the Management Division."Just follow if you want to know something, and keep your mouth shut," Leon said firmly.Brian just obeyed what the man said.During the rush hour after lunch, Brian had to be busy completing his assignment at the table, but Leon suddenly invited Brian to go somewhere, and the place was the management division, where the company system was centered.Leon was warmly welcomed by team members, even they looked very happy to meet Leon. If Brian was stunned, the cold figure who spoke economically turned out to have a pretty good popularity. Leon's impression is always extraordinary for Brian. However, who will think it can be great?For a few moments, they chatted, asked Leon who rarely met, and some who complained about something to Leon. Brian is quite concerned about

    "Enjoy your food," said Alessia to Kiara, who looked like she couldn't wait to taste dinner on the table."Thank you," said the girl.Brian, who saw the girl, looked very enthusiastic about teasing her."You know how to be thanks, huh?" Brian said teasing the girl.Kiara looked at Brian sharply."Do you want to call me uncle again? Perverted again?” Brian challenged.However, Kiara just pursed her lips and then turned her attention to the dinner plate made by Alessia. A happy smile appeared clearly on the little girl's face who then started eating her dinner.After one, two, or three bites, Kiara praised Alessia's cooking several times, which was so delicious that she couldn't stop eating it. Brian chuckled irritably when he saw it. Why did Kiara remind Brian of Alessia when they first met?Alessia is exactly like Kiara when she eats, like someone who hasn't eaten for several days.Seeing Kiara's greedy eating speed made Brian feel full, even though Brian's attention was still focused

    Kiara looked at Brian and Alessia alternately."You have to promise to let me stay here as long as I want," Kiara said.Brian was surprised to hear what Kiara said."How could it be -""Then I won't tell you," Kiara interrupted."Hey!" Brian looked back at Kiara sharply.“You can tell me first. We'll make a decision later," said Alessia wisely.Considering Alessia's suggestion, Kiara nodded agreeing to tell the story. After all, it was late at night, for a little girl like Kiara, it wasn't safe to be outside without an adult accompanying her. Besides, Brian was too lazy to send her out.Brian finally chose to agree and was willing to decide to let Kiara stay in the house for the next few days, but it depended on what story Kiara would tell them.After taking a deep breath, Kiara began to explain why she was on the road and injured.“To be honest, I ran away from home,- and was attacked by bullies. But I managed to escape when they were careless, unfortunately, I had to lose the money

    Brian has a habit of waking up early, showering and preparing breakfast then leaving. When it was still difficult, every time he finished preparing, Brian would go to work while having breakfast on the road. Even though it's troublesome, it's quite fun. Now, it's just that when he's ready, Brian just sits at the dining table and spends his time reading the morning news accompanied by a glass of warm drink in the morning.And for some reason, Brian felt like Alessia always woke up before him. Every time he went down to the kitchen, Brian would find the girl busy cooking in a frying pan. Brian was always amazed, but based on the girl's story, maybe that was normal because habits are not easy to change unless you are determined to change them.When he came down the stairs with a refreshing look, Brian was always relaxed, even humming. Every corner of the house has started to open, and windows and doors have been opened by Alessia. That girl was always diligent.When he arrived in the kit

    Brian's car stopped in front of Kiara's school gate. The students who had just arrived looked busy, most of them were brought by car."Are you sure you want to stop here?" Brian asked in surprise.The man lowered his head to make it clear that what he saw was not wrong. Several students got out of well-known branded cars, they were like princesses getting out of the car."Yes, it is okay. "Don't care about those who are like the rulers of the sky," said Kiara in a sarcastic tone.Brian turned his face towards the girl who looked sullen."Why? Don't you like it?” Brian asked."Is it because you have a lot of money and luxury goods, so you are treated like a princess? Oh, I'm fed up," said Kiara with a rough sigh.Brian's gaze was focused on the girl, he couldn't think at all, but a smile appeared on his face."Why are you smiling like that, uncle?" Kiara asked worriedly."Nothing. You're unpredictable, aren't you, Kiara?"“What? Is that a compliment or something?”Brian didn't say anyt

Kiara looked like a princess with her black hair neatly styled and decorated with beautiful hairpins.Everyone was waiting for him in the living room.

    Is everything finished now? I don't think so. There were still disturbing feelings in Brian's heart.“Even so, I remained by his side. Because honestly, I liked Miles the first time I saw him. But, he was cold,- and didn't care about the meeting at all. I know that he has someone he loves. Jealousy got the best of me, making me think of crazy things to separate them."Brian's heart ached when he heard Miles' confession. How bad is jealousy if it gets out of control? Is it that difficult to endure, and get rid of that feeling of jealousy? Brian didn't know, but it was something everyone had.“Miles didn't know anything, neither did Chintia, and I was the one who separated them. For some reason, I wanted to meet you,- and say this. To be honest, the feeling of guilt after Miles died in an accident because of my uncle made me unable to calm down. Then, I heard a rumor that Miles had a child. Of course, the child wasn't with me, because Miles never touched me.”A feeling of relief envelop

    Seeing that the girl was busy, Brian's thoughts began to wander, and his heartbeat increased even more. For the first time, Brian felt such a strong urge within himself."Is that okay?" Brian asked in his heart.Occasionally the man glanced at Alessia's smiling face. He still seemed happy because Sean already had a girlfriend, which meant Alessia would have a sister-in-law. Brian doesn't understand, but Brian seems to have to admit that Sean is great,- and unexpected. Even though they had often been together, they had never seen a man with a woman."They're not dressed." Brian blinked his eyelids even more.What is the meaning of that thought?"I am done. Would you like a snack tonight?” Alessia offered while drying her hands and looking at Brian who remained silent.For some reason, the lighting behind the girl became dazzling, making Alessia even more charming. Are the hormones in Brian's body active? Oh, wherever Brian is, he doesn't seem to feel any hormonal fluctuations.“Bryan?”

    After Azil conveyed this to Brian, Brian's doubts about his father shook his heart, but he couldn't change his decision. For several days, Brian decided to stay in the house that Miles gave him. Arnold didn't mind it either because Brian needed to calm down.That question filled Brian's mind and heart again. What was his father's reason for sleeping with another woman? Is it still appropriate for Brian to call Miles his father? I don't know, Brian doubts it.The house is still the same because someone always comes to clean. Brian also comes occasionally. Brian won't be able to leave that house, maybe one day he will decide there, rather than Arnold's big house.“I will prepare for tonight. Do you want something?" Alessia asked as usual. The girl also accompanied Brian."Whatever you cook," Brian answered.Alessia just nodded and went to the kitchen to make dinner.For several days together at home, Brian was just silent, occasionally reviewing material for his campus trial which would

    "I don't believe it. Brother Miles can't do something embarrassing like that. He must have been framed. That's right, he must have been framed," said Manda hysterically, not believing what she saw.Brian couldn't say anything, neither did Azil, even Liam who tried to calm Manda."Who's he?" Brian finally asked.But Azil was silent and shook his head."Jenifer, you may have heard of it," Liam said in response to Brian's question.Brian's eyes moved, the woman who had an arranged marriage with Miles but was rejected,- was close to Brian's father,- and was involved in Miles' accident.Brian didn't say anything now,- and cupped his face with his palms. Closed his eyes, let the clear and salty liquid fall from his eyelids, and cried silently. Brian's heart ached, why could this happen? His poor mother.Manda is still crying regretting her ignorance in the past. What happened, whether true or otherwise? Brian doesn't know, but now the question is why his mother left after trying to survive

    “You can continue, don't mind Manda. We will still listen even if it hurts,” Liam said to Azil.Even though he was a little hesitant, seeing Brian waiting made Azil nod his head.“I insisted not to ask what the reason was. But, I secretly went back to town to find out,- and also told Miles. However, what do I get? Just hate and hurt when I see Miles with a woman, even though he looks so happy," said Azil.Azil's facial expression changed to anger, but that was only for a moment. After taking a deep breath, we continued the story.“I came back,- but didn't say anything to Sis Chintia. However, I understand the reason for making a sudden decision, and not even explaining anything. The heartache of being betrayed by a woman is like the end of everything. I understood Sis Chintia's decision,- and decided to leave, even hide. Sis Chintia probably thought that by disappearing, Miles would be happy.""That's not true," muttered Manda. “We have never been happier since then,” he continued, so

    "So, I think it's time for you to find out what happened to your mother," said Azil.Brian automatically straightened up when he heard Azil involve his mother in the story he was going to tell."Mother?" Brian assured Azil that he had heard correctly."Yes, your mother, Chintia," repeated Azil, looking at Brian. "I came to tell you the reason why Sis Chintia chose to leave your father and hide herself," continued the man.Brian's eyelids moved slowly. When Brian started to no longer want to know about the past, and the reasons why his mother chose to give up after maintaining the relationship with all her might. But when Brian tried not to care, and decided not to know, someone came, claiming to know the reason."What has happened?" Brian asked in a weak voice.Brian's chest was now rumbling, there was a feeling of tightness touching his chest. What might Brian have heard from Azil about his mother making secret decisions?Azil sighed, focusing his gaze on Brian who was waiting to hea

If no one reminded him to rest, Brian would drown in his busy life.Alessia is like a living alarm for Brian, the girl reminds Brian when it's time to rest, have lunch or dinner, and when he should go to bed early and wake up. Even though the distance between them has now widened, attention and affection have never diminished, on the contrary.That afternoon Brian had just come out of Arnold's study which he usually used for studying. A text message came to Brian's cell phone.[I came to visit, are you free?]Ask for a text message from Azil.Brian immediately responded with a telephone call,- and asked if Uncle Azil would come.“Yes, I came to visit,” answered Azil.“Where is Uncle now? I'll pick you up," said Brian."No need. "I've arrived," said Azil."Here?" Brian turned around and looked for his uncle."Yes

    Brian threw himself on the living room sofa, there was no one there. Brian was tired even though he didn't do much work."Being the center of attention is tiring," Brian muttered with a sigh."Why?"Brian turned to where the voice came from. Manda appeared out of nowhere with a jar of snacks in her hand,- and a cup of drink that was still steaming. The afternoon is perfect for spending time with a cup of warm drink.Straightened his body and sat down. Brian watched his aunt put cups and jars on the table and then looked at Brian.“What are you mumbling about, Brian?” Manda asked curiously.However, Brian was silent and Manda did not demand that Brian say it."You have to be able to handle it," said Manda after taking the television remote and changing the channel. "When it's finished, you'll get used to it, and after that maybe you won't care," continued Manda as if he knew what Brian was muttering.If Manda knows, why ask? Brian thought his aunt's attitude was a little strange.“I'm
