The clock showed at four in the afternoon as Kaylee stepped off the second floor, followed by Jane holding Aiden in her arms. Daniel who was sitting chatting with Felix in the family room immediately turned his face towards the two girls.
“Main is done? Want to come back now?” daniel asked Kaylee, who was replied with a nod by the girl.
Keylee turned his head and hugged Jane who was now standing next to him. "Sister Jane, I go home first yes.” Then Kaylee turned to Aiden who was in Jane's arms and kissed her cheeks. “Bye bye, Aiden. Sometime Auntie will come back here and play with Aiden, yes.”
Kaylee turned around and was just about to hug Felix, but was immediately prevented by the young man by putting his right palm on Kaylee's forehead, making his little sister look at him with a pouting face.
"I told you not to be careless hugging me" said Felix, then he rubbed the top of Kaylee's head with a faint smile. Felix turned to Daniel “You'll drive him, right?”
“Iya, I'll take her back to the hotel,” respond Daniel. Daniel then turned to Aiden, pinched the baby boy's cheek gently and waved his hand, "Bye, Aiden."
Daniel nodded his head politely at Jane. “I'm sorry, Jane.”
“Yes, you two be careful on the road, yes.” Jane replied with a smile.
Jane and Felix take the two out. They stood in the doorway waving at Daniel and Kaylee who were stepping towards the elevator. When the two guests disappeared from view, Felix and Jane looked at each other awkwardly. Jane who first turned her gaze back towards Daniel and Kaylee disappeared just now.
“You don't need to worry, Jane, Daniel and Kaylee have known each other for a long time, they're both just friends now. Daniel couldn't possibly have cheated on Seena with my sister,” Felix ventured to open his voice, trying to melt the atmosphere.
Jane looked back at Felix with a very flat facial expression. He then replied to her in passing. “About me to ask?”
Felix closed his lips to hear Jane say. He watched his wife who walked in and went straight up the stairs to the second floor. Felix closed the outside door and leaned his back against the wall.
‘It turns out he is still angry,’ Inner Felix while back squeezing his black hair in frustration. Felix did not think it was difficult to persuade Jane who was craving.

Kaylee threw her eyes out the car window. Taylor Swift's ‘Paris’ song filled the silence that enveloped their journey to the Shangri-La Hotel, where Kaylee stayed during her stay in Jakarta.
Sometimes he looked at Daniel who looked serious behind his wheel. There was actually something Kaylee wanted to ask Daniel about since they left the mall this afternoon, but he felt awkward asking about it. Kaylee saw the woman being chased by Daniel at the mall this afternoon throw the young man's hand before turning away. Kaylee was wondering, did they fight? Who's the lady?
‘Is he brother Daniel's girlfriend?' inner Kaylee. The next second, Kaylee straightened up and covered her mouth with her right hand. ‘Did that woman misunderstand me thinking that brother Daniel and I were dating?’
“Kaylee, what's up?” Daniel, who noticed Kaylee's sudden movements, turned to her with a questioning look.
“Hah? Oh, it's okay. I wanted to sneeze, but it didn't,” Kaylee replied while displaying a wide grin on her face. Daniel nodded slowly and refocused himself on the street before him.
Kaylee recalled her immature nature at that time who could not stand long-distance contact with Daniel so decided to end their relationship before leaving for New Zealand. Kaylee also recalled how Helen always complained of being bored listening to her curses that were often also decorated with ugly women when saying how much she missed Felix's assistant.
Kaylee shook her head slowly and smiled amusedly remembering all that. To be honest, he had felt hesitant and afraid if he met Daniel again when he returned to Jakarta. He was afraid that in case the love that he had desperately tried to forget for the past two years would grow back once he saw the handsome face of this young man. But Kaylee didn't expect that she didn't feel anything when she saw Daniel again, and it seemed that the young man felt the same way.
So the appropriate word to describe their current relationship is friend. Or brother sister?
“Sister Daniel.” Call Jane.
“Hm?” daniel's response was brief.
“I'm curious, who was the woman you were chasing at the mall last afternoon?” Kaylee finally decided to ask. He must know, what if it turns out that the woman was indeed Daniel's girlfriend and misunderstood because of him.
Daniel glanced at Kaylee at a glance, then looked back to the front and replied, “He's one of my coworkers. Why are you asking?”
“Hmm,” Kaylee leaned her left elbow against the windowpanes and propped her head up while looking at Daniel. “Sounds like he looked... upset? Don't-don't she's sister's boyfriend huh?”
Daniel coughed softly at Kaylee's words. “Bu-no, Kay. She's not my girlfriend.”
“Really? But why did he look like a girlfriend who was upset and angry with her brother? Eii, you must be lying, right? She's sister's boyfriend, right? Did he misunderstand and think we were both dating in the mall? Did you two fight because of me?” ask Kaylee with a fuss.
Daniel laughed softly at Kaylee's words. “She's not my girlfriend, and she doesn't misunderstand or get angry. You don't have to worry,” lied to Daniel while looking at Kaylee and smiling.
Kaylee nodded in understanding. The atmosphere was silent for a moment. Still with her position still on the edge of the window, Kaylee spoke again. “By the way, the day after I'll be back in New Zealand.”
“So fast? What time does your plane leave?” daniel was not very focused. Without Kaylee knowing, Daniel had been wearing airpods on his left ear. An annoyed roar several times was drawn on his face when he heard the voice of the operator telling his call, instead of the voice of the girl who had earlier disturbed his mind. Daniel touches his phone screen again, resumes the call to a contact number named Seena.
“Jam three pm. Wh why? Brother want to take me to the airport?” ask Kaylee.
Daniel almost hit his wheel upset because again what was heard was the voice of the operator. Has Seena blocked her number? Daniel releases the airpods perched in his ear and takes over the wheel, turning his car into the lobby of a star hotel.
“Hmm, yes. I'll take you to the airport the day after tomorrow.” Answer Daniel.
