CHAPTER 6

"Sigh… I thought she would be here already…" Aku said he was disappointed that Zara is not at DEZ Café. Aku went to DEZ Café to relax and wanting to meet Zara felt really sad. He remembered that he forgets to ask Zara about her phone number. He really planned to get it, but he forgets it because of the mood. 

Aku was sitting on his favorite spot and looking outside the window. He saw a luxurious black car park in front of the cafe. 

"I guess the car owner is super rich" Aku murmured while watching the car outside. Aku was shocked when he saw the person step outside the car "Zara!". 

He did not know that Zara was rich. When he thinks about it the surname of Zara is kind of familiar. "Passerines, where did I hear that name“ he murmured thinking seriously. Aku suddenly remembered, he did not hear that name… He read it in one of the magazines about business. 

One of the biggest companies in this country is the 'Passerines corporation'. The chairman's name was Corbin Passerines who is famous in all his great achievements in business. Another great person is the president who is the heir, he was called a genius at the business world because of his achievements he got at a young age. 

Zara walks inside the Café and she sees Aku who is looking outside. She went to the counter and ordered milk. "is that all ma'am!?" the cashier asked, she glanced at Aku who already finished his cake. 

"Uhmm… I will also get one piece of big strawberry donut and a chocolate donut" she said to the cashier. After she orders, she waits at the waiting area… 

...

Few minutes passed and her order was ready. She gets it and walks toward Aku… "Aku? Can I share the table with you?"

Aku who is spacing out is startled at Zara who is in front of him. "Ah! Za… Zara!... Ah! Yes you can!!" he replied, he heard Zara chuckled a little. 

Zara sat down and gave the big donut to Aku "for you" she smiled. Aku was shocked to see that Zara is giving him a donut "I can't accept this…" Aku rejects Zara. 

Zara who is smiling suddenly pouts "then what will I do with this… Should I throw this" Zara said seriously. "Ah! Don't be angry! …and don't throw it! I will accept it" Aku knew that it's rude for him to reject Zara but it was a little bit embarrassing that Zara would treat him.

It's the first time Aku saw Zara buying something else other than milk, he was amazed. He was looking at Zara when Zara noticed him looking at her. 

"Is there dirt on my face?" Zara asked while wiping her mouth. "No! The… There's nothing on your… Face" Aku said while his voice is stuttering. 

Zara looked at him wanting to know why he was looking at her. "It's the first time I saw you order anything other than milk..." Aku said while holding a fork and knife. 

"Ah! Hehehe… I feel hungry" Zara said with a childish tone. Aku who is slicing the donut was dumbfounded in her action. 

It was the first time Zara acted like that, sometimes she would smile but she always looked serious. Zara, whose face was red, suddenly felt embarrassed in her action towards Aku. 

"Wow! It was also the first time I saw you with your reaction" Aku said then eats his sliced donut. Zara, who is embarrassed by her actions, feels more embarrassed that she can't think of anything anymore and keeps silent.

"Zara can I ask you something?" Aku was so very curious about the relationship of the owner of Passerines Corporation and his friend Zara Passerines. 

"Hmm… It's okay" Zara replied, thinking why Aku became serious suddenly. "Okay here comes… What's your relationship towards the chairman and president of Passerines Corporation?" Aku said fast, because he was a bit nervous. 

This is the first time Aku asked Zara about her family so he was a bit nervous, he really didn't want Zara to think of him as an intrusive person.

"Oh! I thought it was something important … The chairman is my father and the president is my big brother" Zara answered nonchalantly. Aku was a bit shocked when Zara said 'she thinks that it's not something important? Seriously it is important!' he thought to himself. 

Aku was quiet since Zara answered his question. He was thinking very hard… "uhmm… did I offend you? Or are you scared of my family and don't want me to be your friend anymore?" Zara said, she was very worried why Aku would talk anymore. 

"No?! … No, no… I just thought that your family was so amazing" Aku swore to her. 

Zara was relieved to hear what Aku said. She really did not know how to communicate with other people other than her family. 

Aku saw the relieved expression of Zara, he smiled looking at her, while Zara was confused why Aku was smiling.

 Aku suddenly remembered what he really wanted to talk with her while he was waiting for her to come into the Café. "Now that I think about it… I want to ask you about our trip to the Aquarium!” Aku said while smiling at Zara.
