Maybe for most people having dinner with the whole family is a common thing, they often do, but not with this one girl. Kanaya. Not that he is a child of a broken home, but because his father is always busy with his office work.
Even so, Kanaya never felt less love from her parents, even her parents always gave her abundant love and Kanaya always felt that she was the only child who could feel this happiness in the world.
And tonight Kanaya is ready with a stunning appearance, by wearing a knee-length dress decorated with lace, without sleeves and also her hair is pulled back as long as it leaves short hair around her temples.
Finally, Kanaya applied a little lipstick that was darker than her base lip color, then smoothed it out using her little finger. Kanaya licked her lips and then looked at the results of her makeup tonight.
"You're so beautiful, Kanaya," the girl mumbled confidently in front of the mirror.
But according to Kanaya praising herself like that was very good for herself too, because with that there would be no insecure words in her. Kanaya is always surprised by women out there who always feel insecure, even though just being grateful for what they have will not make them feel insecure.
Doesn't that mean being insecure means not respecting God who has created us—humans so perfectly?
"Naya, come on!"
It's her daddy's voice!
Kanaya quickly grabbed her favorite sling bag which was already on the bed and left her room, she smiled at her father who was in front of her room with his usual appearance—trousers and shirts, really showing the figure of a businessman.
The man, Roy Nugraha, is a successful businessman and is also well known in the city of Jakarta, even the man is famous throughout the country. Apart from that, Roy is a husband and father figure who is very attentive to his wife and only daughter.
"Finally i can have dinner with you again, Princess." Roy stroked his daughter's mane lovingly. "I'm sorry, Papa rarely has dinner with you, okay?"
Kanaya smiled sweetly as she shook her head slowly. "It's okay, Daddy. Naya understands that Daddy rarely has time for Naya and Mama because it's for our sake. Daddy works very hard, Naya can go to college too, it's all thanks to Daddy's hard work."
"Naya should be the one apologizing to Daddy, sorry for all this time—since Naya was born, she hasn't been able to repay everything Daddy has done."
"It's okay, Princess. What Daddy wants is that you study properly, be diligent and have to graduate quickly so you can go straight to work and replace Daddy in the office."
"Hey, why are you two still there? Aren't you hungry? Let's go!"

The small family has now set foot in an elite restaurant in the city of Jakarta, which has an interior that is made exactly like a restaurant in America. Even Kanaya has not stopped admiring the luxury in this restaurant, even though she was born into a rich family but all the property belongs only to her parents, Kanaya has never set foot here once and this is really a first for her.
"Do you like it, my queens?"
Kanaya nodded her head quickly with a chuckle when her father called her and her mother as queen. Unlike Eva, who felt blushed by her husband's call.
It seemed that Kanaya was wrong if she felt happy to have dinner out like this, because surely later she would become a mosquito repellent between her parents. If one day her papa invites her to have dinner together and Kanaya already has a boyfriend then he will invite her—
BRUK!
"Oh my God, sorry, sorry no—YOU?!" both of his eyes felt like they were going to pop out of place when he saw someone he hit earlier, how could that man be in this restaurant? And why should I meet him?
"Who is he, Naya?" whispered Eva.
"Naya doesn't know, Ma. The point is he is," Kanaya pointed at the man. "He's the most annoying man in the world!"
As if remembering something that irritated him like this at this time to the boy, Kanaya showed a defiant smile. "Is my presence here able to answer all your words earlier this morning, hm?"
The two men's eyes in front of Kanaya then looked at the girl flatly. "Sorry I don't know—"
Kanaya immediately cut off the man's words by clapping her hands, her lips showing a cynical smile. "Embarrassed now? How dare you embarrass me this morning and think that I'm an incompetent person, now you're pretending you don't know me?"
The girl chuckled as she shook her head. Indeed, yes, his name is male, he will definitely feel prestige, especially after humiliating him this morning, it must have made the man very embarrassed.
"Oh, Bryan?"
Roy, who had just arrived after asking for the table he had booked, was surprised when he saw a familiar figure in his eyes, facing his daughter and wife. Roy first shook Bryan's hand with his friendly smile.
It did not escape Kanaya's view. Even his eyes widened even more, as if forcing them to come out. Kanaya rubbed her eyes, making sure that all she saw was her reflection.
And it turned out to be true. Her father and the annoying boy knew each other.
"Daddy!" Kanaya squealed.
Roy immediately stopped his conversation with Bryan and turned to his only daughter. One eyebrow raised. "Why?"
"Why did Papa know him?" Kanaya bravely pointed at Bryan's face with her index finger, which immediately made Eva act by pulling Kanaya's hand not to be like that.
The man smiled for a moment. Then his hand wrapped around Bryan's body as he patted the man's shoulder. "So this is him, Bryan. A successful businessman and also the youngest entrepreneur. He's only twenty years old, just one year apart from you, dear."
Kanaya's lips opened to form like the letter O. Kanaya thought the annoying man was old, maybe he was just like his father, even though his face was the opposite. It's true that Kanaya should admit that the face of that annoying man does look young, but because of his feelings of resentment towards that man, Kanaya thinks he is old.
"And the company that Bryan is currently running is his own work, you should use him as an example. It's okay at first you work at Papa's company, but later on you have to be like Bryan who immediately went into the business world and built own company."
It turned out that apart from being just annoying, the man also had achievements that deserved a very boisterous applause. Maybe the applause isn't enough either.
