WITHOUT YOU
ARA

Erik spent his time by letting go of longing at his childhood place. Help Ms. Hasna prepare food for the orphanage children. Also accompany children to play.

By night. Erik gets word from the main house. That his grandfather was waiting for him.

Erik breathed a tired breath. Indeed, thanks to his grandfather, he can now enjoy all the luxurious facilities. Making half the world in his grasp.

But he was also tired of his grandfather's demands.

Always match her with a woman she doesn't love.

"After grandfather? "

Erik decided to say goodbye to Hasna. Actually Erik still wants to stay in the parlour. Want to spend more time here. But circumstances forced him to leave.

"Don't wait for Ara to come home first, son? "

Ms. Hasna is still hard to take off her foster children. He is still not satisfied with missing.

"Next time Erik will visit here again ma'am. I'm sorry, Erik couldn't take much longer. Grandpa was waiting. "

With a heavy heart Hasna took off her hand on Erik.

"Be careful on the road, Erik. "

"Yes mom. "

***

Ara was feeling very tired. Today he had to overtime complete the end of the month report.

Previously, I crossed checks. Why is there a difference at the end?

Really, these tie rats do want to be exterminated immediately. Ara was really upset.

At the end of the road approaching Ara's home passed by the car that Erik was riding in. But the two did not realize each other. Both focus on the tiredness they feel.

Arriving at the home. As she got off the bike, Ara saw Hasna standing at the door.

Like after delivering a guest.

"Assalamu'alaikum mother. "

Ara grabbed Hasna's hand and kissed her.

"Wa'alaikumsalam Ara's. Why did he come home once a night? "

"Ara overtime mom. Was there a guest mom? "

"Yes, Erik is coming. "

Deg.

Erik, Ara's childhood friend comes after years of being away from the parlour and with no news at all. Suddenly came.

"Where is mom? "

Ara asked impatiently. He missed his friend. Super here.

"Just got home. You guys didn't meet on the street? "

Ara shook her head.

"No ma'am. "

"Yes, we go in first. You need to clean your body and rest.

Have you had dinner, son? "

"Not yet ma'am. Is there any food? "

I'll prepare the food that Erik cooked this afternoon.

Ara widened her eyes.

What ? Erik cook ? Impossible !

"Erik can cook mom? "

"Have cleaned the body first. Mother prepare a meal for you. "

"Thank you ma'am. Mother was the best, " said Ara with her cherry before leaving Hasna's mother to clean herself up.

Now Ara had finished cleaning herself. Her skin was still moist because of the water that washed her while bathing earlier. And his hair was still wrapped neatly by a towel.

Ara was at the dinner table with Hasna.

"Wah ma'am. It's very tasty. Is it true Erik cooked this ma'am? This is not mom's cooking. "

While chewing food. Ara occasionally made her comments while tasting the taste of the food she was craving.

Justjust wonderful. Erik's the guy who can cook like this. Better than Ara's cooking. Daebak.

It felt like Ara could not accept this. Isn't that an insult to Ara? Can't be allowed. Erik may later be********* discharged Ara with his ridicule.

Erik is a superhero to Ara. But not infrequently also very annoying. Often mocking Ara to make her sulk. However, this does not reduce the mutual affection between the two. Neither Erik nor Ara. They love each other like brothers. Ara is Erik's favorite sister. No one can disturb Ara other than her.

Back to Ara.

Ara had finished a plate of rice with various side dishes from Erik and Hasna.

No doubt, it tastes delicious on the tongue. Until Ara's stomach was filled.

"Alhamdulillah.. Ara full of mom. " Ara grimaced while stroking her stomach which did not appear to bulge at all despite claiming to be feeling very full.

"Basar you this. "

"Yes, Ara is going to clean the table first. Now I can rest. I must be tired all day already taking care of my sisters. "

Ms. Hasna responded with her trademark smile. Gently radiating her maternal affection.

"alright. After this you also need to rest. Don't work overtime anymore, son. Your body also needs to rest for a moment. "

"Yes mother. Ara will immediately rest after cleaning the table and washing these dirty dishes. "

Miss Hasna left Ara. Ara also sped up her work.

Don't let Ms. Hasna come back here and nag. Yes, although not a painful tirade. But still. Ara did not want to make Hasna's rest cut off with concern for her who did not rest.

The table cleaning and dish washing event has been completed. Ara immediately carried herself into her room. The most beautiful palace on earth. After the hug of Hasna of course.

Ara threw herself in the middle of the bed with her legs still dangling close to touching the floor.

"How is Erik looking now? Must be really cool. "

Ara smiled to herself imagining how Erik had not seen each other after all these years.

At this moment Ara already did not need Erik anymore when she felt oppressed. Ara was already a strong and reliable girl to protect herself.

Ara's skill in martial arts was enough to make the bullies feel cornered. Even the thugs who had been beaten by Ara, were now submissive and obedient without orders from him. The thugs even watched Ara's movements. Protecting Ara from a distance without Ara noticing.

Once upon a time Ara would be robbed. But before the robber managed to touch Ara's belongings. The robbers hand was already twisted by the two thugs who were faithfully guarding Ara.

Ara immediately thanked the two thugs. He did not think he was protected by them. What he believed was that he was being helped by chance.

Currently Ara is becoming a topic of discussion among prestigious young entrepreneurs.

Not only because of the appearance of Ara is all simple but looks stunning every eye that sees it. But also because Ara has an inner beauty that is very different from most women. Ara is no less shining than beautiful women who look glamorous.

With a single glance, one would not be able to turn away from the charm of an Ara.

The simple-looking girl was always straightforward in saying. Negotiation in business is a skill of Ara. So many corporate tenders that he won. It's not that hard for Ara.

Even Ara always explained the limitations in personal and work affairs.

So that clients who intend to approach Ara always retreat regularly by Ara's refusal.

"Sorry sir. We're talking about work. Please do not confuse personal problems with our work. The discussion on cooperation is over. I beg you to resign. "

And it left a truly amazing impression in the eyes of young entrepreneurs. It is rare for a woman who is clearly favored by young bosses to shy away. Usually they willingly give themselves up for worldly pleasures.

It was clearly very different from Ara.
