12

"Let me drive," Lucas said when Yuki was about to sit in the driver's seat of her official car.

"Oh is it okay sir?

"Yeah, just go to the passenger seat there,"

Yuki couldn't help but nod. Immediately entered the car that was about to take her to Logan's school with Lucas and the boy.

Logan in the back seat squealed happily, "Yeyy goes to school with mama,"

Yuki smiled too, the girl opened her briefcase and took out a lunch box from there, "Here, Mama made a bento for Logan. For lunch,"

Logan blurted out, "What's a bento?"

"That's food in the shape of a shape. Anyway, it's delicious, Logan will try it at school. There are vegetables too," answered Yuki excitedly.

Logan nodded enthusiastically, without thinking immediately accepted the lunch box that Yuki handed him, "Thanks mama,"

"You're welcome,"

"There's no daddy for this?" Lucas said teasingly.

Yuki turned and smiled, "Mama is also make for Daddy, why don't you calm down," he teased back.

Damn, Lucas cursed inwardly. Yuki's words are not very good for his heart health.

"Here. It's not a bento, but it's definitely safe from mushrooms and nuts,"

"The Logan's don't have peanuts, do they? He has the same allergies as me,"

"I thought so. I was really anticipating it, but it turns out it's really the same as being allergic to nuts and mushrooms, both of you," explained the girl, "Here, I'll put your dashboard, please."

"Put your bag in or you'll miss it,"

"Hey, it's okay, I'll open your bag?"

"Just relax like anyone else,"

"Later, will Logan come home with Daddy and Mama again?" asked the toddler in the back seat.

Yuki turned to Lucas, asking for an answer.

"Later, if it's not busy, we'll pick it up, but if it's busy, the driver will pick up Logan, okay? Then go to the office,"

"Okay," Logan nodded in understanding.

Yuki smiled, "What time does Logan usually come home at?"

"I don't know, Ma.Logan never looks at the clock,"

Lucas took a deep breath, "Depends on the day. If you come home at 12 today,"

"Oh, I guess I can pick up Logan,"

"Really?"

"If there is no meeting later, but yes hahaha,"

Lucas sat pensively in his oversized chair. His work piled up but for some reason he couldn't concentrate at all. Then, the twenty-five year old man opened another desk and took out a photo frame from it. His photo with Yuki when they were still together. At that time both of them were still in college, Yuki with the faculty of economics and Lucas from the Faculty of Business Management.

The man smiled, remembering the old days when they were still together.

He admits that he was an asshole. But that was before he met Yuki, the little curly haired one who was famous all over the campus for his fierce nature and scathing remarks.

Lucas put the frame he was holding onto his desk. Previously, the photo was displayed in the man's study room, accompanying Lucas, who was struggling with his files every day.

But because he chose not to bring his work home and was busy keeping Logan, Lucas moved the photo to his office. Storing it in a desk drawer and staring at the photo when boredom hits.

"I miss us," Lucas mumbled, rubbing the frame slowly.

The man smiled, his efforts to return to Yuki were not in vain. He wanted to immediately clear up the misunderstanding that occurred between them and hopefully the two of them could get back together.

Also important is Logan, whom he can work with.

Logan had known Yuki for a long time because he often saw the girl's portrait in his father's room. Luckily Logan kept his mouth shut about it with an extra nightly snack bribe from Lucas. Otherwise I don't know what the boy and his slick mouth would say Lucas couldn't imagine.

"Logan, when you see this aunty in Daddy's office, just pretend that Logan never knows who she is," Lucas said to his son the other day, right after Yuki applied for a job at his office.

Logan, who was sitting quietly on Lucas' bed, turned his head, "Who the hell is this aunty? How come there are so many photos in daddy's room? Is she Logan's mommy?"

"No, but she is Logan's future mother. Would you like Logan if this aunty were to be called Logan?"

The boy seemed to think for a while before nodding, "It's okay, the aunty is beautiful,"

"Good. She's going to be Logan's mom as long as Logan doesn't talk about these photos to the aunty, okay?"

"Um, but Logan's evening snacks are not rich enough,"

"Fine with the addition of evening snacks as long as Logan doesn't say anything,"

"Okay,"

Lucas smiled at the memory. Ah Logan is easy to work with because the boy always obeys what he says as long as he gets the lure of a new snack or toy, "But it's a bit worrying that he's easy to kidnap later,"

Lucas reached for his briefcase, pulled out a pastel blue lunch box with a picture of one of the Disney cartoons, Elsa and Ana. The man chuckled, "Still like a kid, Ki. Never changes,"

It's been five years since they separated. And during that time Lucas was looking for Yuki's whereabouts for some reason as if swallowed by the earth. Get as far away from him as possible. Knowing the fact that Yuki applied for a job at his company certainly made Lucas couldn't help but burst into joy in his chest.

That day, it wasn't that Lucas didn't care about Yuki, but that he just wanted to give her some time to cool off. Who would have thought that just a week after that Yuki really disappeared. As if swallowed by the earth.

"Excuse me mister,"

Lucas turned his head, it was Yuki's voice. The man quickly put the frame on his desk into the drawer as well as Yuki's lunch box. And as if nothing had happened, the man refocused on his work, "Yes come in,"

"This is Mister Juwita who left the marketing report to me. She said she had urgent business so sje couldn't give this herself," Yuki held back his laughter, she knew Juwita was just making excuses. The incident a few days ago where the two of them were caught gossiping about Lucas in the cafeteria certainly made Juwita afraid if she had to face her boss again.

Lucas just nodded, accepted the map that Yuki gave her reluctantly, "I have another meeting after this?"

"No mister. Last meeting was two hours ago," the woman replied.

Lucas breathed a sigh of relief, "We'll pick up Logan from school in thirty minutes after that it's just lunch. You don't mind right? Let me add lunch time today at the office,"

"Yes, sir, it's okay, just calm down,"
