Inara's First Day

"Sorry, Aksa. I can't accompany you, I have to go to work, you know what the consequences will be if I'm late."

Aksa nodded slowly while looking at Zayn and Inara alternately who were stealing glances at each other. "Are you guys going to just keep quiet?"

"Ahem." Zayn cleared his throat slowly while tidying the suit he was wearing even though it still looked neat. "I came here to pick up Nara, I didn't want her to get into trouble on her first day working with Mr. Raka." Zayn was a little worried.

Aksa tood up. "Be careful at work, don't push yourself. I can still support you." Aksa put her hand on Inara's head while shaking it slightly. Then he turned to Zayn. "Please take care of him for me." Aksa hugged Inara.

"Mas, I want to go to work. Not to go around the world," protested Inara, she felt that Aksa was too much.

Aksa chuckled. "Not seeing me for a day you don't stop crying in the corner, pretending to want to travel the world."

Inara pursed her lips slightly annoyed with herself. He's an adult, but he can't stay away from Aksa for a day. "I love you," Inara said those words sincerely while reviewing her best smile.

"I know, go."

Inara waved her hand, Aksa also waved back from her sister. Aksa shook her head slowly with a smile, not feeling time running fast. Her sister, who was once so cute, has grown into a beautiful girl.

"Father, mother, all this time I've been fighting very hard so that Inara never lacks the slightest love even though you are not by her side. But, father, mother, do you know? Still. I can't replace you in her heart." Aksa remembers a few days ago, Inara fell asleep hugging the photo frame of her parents with her eyes looking puffy.

Zayn's car stopped at the Dhananjaya family's yard, Zayn happily opened the door for Inara. And up there behind the curtain that seemed dark, someone was watching Zayn and Inara's movements while staring at them both with an unreadable gaze.

"Come in, I have to go to the office. Yesterday I asked Aunt Leana to help you." Zayn rubbed Inara's head gently.

Inara nodded slowly with a sweet smile.

After Zayn left, he took his long legs and walked towards the main door, he was transfixed for a moment watching each waiter carrying out their respective duties and didn't forget to welcome his arrival when he saw him even though it was only a welcome with a small smile.

A middle-aged woman wearing typical maid clothes rushed over to her while smiling kindly at her.

The woman's smile reminded Inara of the figure of her mother, the figure that the girl missed, she had never felt what a mother's love was like, only with a photo, she communicated with her father and mother every day if only her mother was still alive. the life he will be very happy. Without realizing it, a clear tear dripped down her cheek, the girl hastily wiped it.

As if like a psychic, the middle-aged woman was able to know the purpose and purpose of Inara's arrival at Dhananjaya's residence.

"Come with me, Miss. Before Young Master Raka wakes up."

"Well." Inara could guess, the figure of the woman who came to her was Leana, the butler who had just been told by Zayn.

Inara walked to follow where Leana's feet were walking while sweeping every corridor of the house that she passed when her feet stepped on. He blinked in astonishment, amazed by Alexa's spacious and majestic house, climbing the first stairs was not a problem for him. Inara took a deep breath while watching Leana who was so painstakingly stepping up the stairs, while her breath felt almost cut off because she had not yet reached her destination.

Leana stopped when the woman had arrived in front of a room. He turned to Inara so they were facing each other.

"Miss, please come in."

"In? Alone?"

"Yes, of course."

"Miss, don't worry. Young Master Raka won't bite you. It's his time for breakfast, so you should wake him up. Remember, Miss. Don't make young master angry, do whatever young master tells you to. Pay attention to his food intake, his habits, what time of day he is. the young master must go to the office and remind young master's work schedule every day, Miss, can confirm it with the young master's secretary." Leana took a deep breath. "In this week, about ten people have been sacked by the young master, I am confused as to what kind of assistant the young master is looking for. Even though they are all the best graduates, beautiful, and highly disciplined," Leana grumbled. He realized he was talking too much. "Miss, I have to go. And one more thing, prepare warm water for the young master to bathe, prepare clothes in preparation for going to the office if necessary help the young master get dressed. He forgot everything when he got the call."

Inara glared at Leana, helping to get dressed? Why not just go ahead and bathe him too. Why doesn't the young master just get married? Instead, hire a personal assistant.

Inara grumbled in her heart, why did the task become so much? In yesterday's agreement, it was not like that. Raka only asked three things from him. Can cook, manage finances and take care of him when he is sick. He shouldn't have accepted this very complicated job from the start. She closed her eyes for a moment, then in an instant, Inara's mind got better when she remembered that she could always be close to Zayn as if Zayn gave her new spirit.

"What is it? Do you mind, Miss?"

Inara shook her head slowly. "May I ask you one thing?"

"Sure, Miss. Please."

"When can I go home?"

Leana smiled a little, this was the first time Leana had heard such a question. The previous master's assistants didn't even want to go home even though their master had kicked them out.

"For matters of salary, working hours and regarding privacy. You can discuss that with the young master."

Inara nodded slowly, she already understood everything the butler said.

"If nothing else is asked. Then I'll excuse myself."

"Thank you very much," Leana replied with a small nod with a smile.

Inara leaned her body against the wall with a wrinkled look on her face while looking at the pair of high heels attached to her long legs. He let out a long sigh lamenting his fate of being trapped in a situation that was less favorable for him, his legs could be broken if he had to go up and down like this every day.

"Where, young master?" A woman with a graceful appearance was sitting waiting for her son to have breakfast together, even though she was no longer young, but the woman was still very beautiful and charming.

"The young master is still in the room, madam," Leana answered him respectfully.

Liora put the fork and spoon in her hand roughly, Raka was not usually in the room. It's almost eight o'clock, but her favorite child hasn't come down for breakfast yet
