87. The Arrival of Shofia

Then Kautsar broke his embrace and looked at Aruna softly.

" You don't have to worry, I won't be interested in him. After all, he was again admitted to the Mental Hospital and it took a long time to recover completely, said Kautsar while tidying Aruna's hair behind his ear.

" The Mental Hospital...?" ask Aruna not to believe it.

" yes. Reyhan said Mrs Shofia was found in a daze and seriously injured in her home. After being treated at the General Hospital, his mental condition was sick. That is why he was admitted to the Mental Hospital..," said Kautsar.

" Why wound...?" ask Aruna pretending not to know.

" No know. I guess it's because you're Aruna. But ngeliat You are confused gini I am relieved because it means You are not involved the same wound suffered by Mrs Shofia..," said Kautsar while hugging and peeping Aruna.

Hearing the Kautsar story did not make Aruna's worries recede. He even intends to find out the condition of Shofia now somehow.

\=\=\=\=\=

Two months after Shofia had plastic surgery in Korea, the woman returned to Indonesia. The skin of his face and arms and part of his body affected by Aruna's claws have now disappeared. Now her skin looks flawless smooth and that makes Shofia proud.

That day Shofia appeared to walk gracefully into the company where Kautsar worked. Behind him, Aida and Lucas accompany Shofia.

Shofia and Aida sit in the guest chair while Lucas looks to meet with the receptionist to confirm a meeting with the company's director.

Shofia was seen circulating her gaze to the corner of the room. There was unease on his face as if he was waiting for something.

" How's Luc...?" shofia asked as Lucas walked away from the receptionist table.

" Can Madam. We are asked to wait a moment because Mr. Bagas is currently having a guest.

" How much longer do we have to wait...?" shofia asked impatiently.

" Fifteen minutes at most. You see, the guest has been since then really," said Lucas while glancing at the clock that was coiled on his wrist.

" Oh that's it..," Shofia said in a disappointed tone.

Then Shofia stood up and walked towards the company cafeteria. He decided to wait in the cafeteria because he was sure that Bagas guests would be out in half an hour.

Lucas and Aida can only look at each other because they understand that Shofia is not looking to be accompanied.

" It must be exhausting to have such a rich boss, ." Lucas said as he glanced at Aida.

" A little..," said Aida with a smile.

" I salute you Aida. How could he survive Mrs Shofia who is moodian and arrogant." said Lucas, shaking his head.

" This is one of the risks of my work as his assistant Mrs Shofia Pak..," said Aida with a wry smile.

" Yes I know. But during my time with Mrs Shofia, you were the longest-serving personal assistant Mrs Shofia had, Ms. Da." Lucas said.

" The time is sir...?" aida asked while looking at Lucas.

" yes. All this time the girl who became his personal assistant Lady Shofia only lasted two weeks. A month at most. You've been almost four years, haven't you...?" ask Lucas.

" Yes..," said Aida quickly.

" That's why I salute you Aida." Lucas said.

" I had no choice but to work elsewhere. That's why I'm trying to do my job without much protest Mr....," Aida said.

" Why can that be so. That means you were forced to cooperate with Madam Shofia Da...?" asked Lucas in disbelief.

" Yes sir..," said Aida while bowing her head.

" You can do it. If you can figure out what's causing it...?" asked Lucas curiously.

Aida seemed to take a deep breath before answering Lucas' question.

" How many...?" ask Lucas carefully.

" Very much..," said Aida.

" Ck, Yes I know. But how much is Aida...?" asked Lucas a little annoyed.

" Hundred million sir..," said Aida.

" What's that money for Aida. Sorry for my sassy. But your parents live in the village. His daily expenses are definitely not more than the city people" Lucas said.

" Money in interest sir. Lady Shofia gave a tall and suffocating flower. For now I still have to repay my parents' debt which is deducted directly from My salary every month.

" I didn't think Mrs Shofia was that bad. You have helped me take care of all his personal needs. The hell time he didn't knock to free you and your parents from debt that has no end to it.", said Lucas concerned.

Aida just shook her shoulders a sign that she also did not understand the mind path of Mrs Shofia.

Meanwhile in the canteen, Shofia was enjoying a cup of lemon tea and snacks. While staring at the screen of his phone Shofia continues to surf in cyberspace. Until a voice she missed made her look.

At that time Shofia saw Kautsar passing in front of the canteen after reviewing the project outside the office.

Shofia stood up and walked quickly to the Kautsar.

" Good afternoon Mr. Kautsar.," said Shofia, making the Kautsar turn his head.

For a moment Kautsar was sculpting while staring at Shofia. He imagines Aruna's response when he finds out that she has met Shofia again.

" O Mrs Shofia. Thank God I'm all right, Madam. What is Madam doing here...?" ask Kautsar for a stale base.

" Want to meet Mr. Bagas because there are some things I want to discuss about the company's cooperation project..," said Shofia quickly.

" Oh that..," said Kautsar, nodding his head in understanding.

" But unfortunately Mr. Bagas again the arrival of guests and I was told to wait. There's no one I know in this company but you. So can you please nemenin I Mr. Kautsar...?" shofia asked expectantly.

" But I am also again working Madam..," said Kautsar trying to refuse.

" Well, I'm only here Mr. Kautsar. In the cafeteria, nowhere. Ntar I said the same Mr. Bagas if I asked to be accompanied so that Mr. Kautsar ga dapet SP. How, can you...?" shofia asked expectantly.

" Ok if so," said Kautsar quickly to make Shofia smile satisfied.

Then Shofia and Kautsar stepped towards the table where Shofia was sitting. They seem to be talking familiarly. No, but it was Shofia who kept Kautsar talking to make him look awkward.

Ten minutes later Aida came to the cafeteria to meet Shofia and tell her that Bagas was waiting in her room.

" Now...?" shofia doesn't like it.

" Yes Madam..," said Aida unkindly.

" Ok for a second. Is Mr. Kautsar able to send me to Mr. Bagas's room...?" shofia asked as she looked at the Kautsar gently.

From the way Shofia spoke and attitude made Aida understand if her master was interested in the figure of a handsome man in front of her.

" Sorry Madam, I have no interest in that room. Besides, Mr. Bagas can be angry if he knows I even interfere in matters that are not My business. Maybe I will be fired later, even though I feel at home working here..," said Kautsar.

" That's yes. Excuse me, Mr. Kautsar. Come Aida..," said Shofia, whom the Kautsar had taken.

Aida nodded and smiled at the Kautsar and rushed after Shofia who walked first.

Kautsar rubbed his face violently. He believes that the arrival of Shofia this time will make his relationship with Aruna worse.
