My Geeky Secretary's

41 Lessons Learned From Abe

Aiden walked back and forth in a hotel room he had booked. She had taken a shower and changed her clothes but not Abe, who was still struggling with a laptop.

Abe's face is covered in sweat because he doesn't have time to even wash his face.

Aiden stopped right in the middle of the room and exhaled a tired breath.

Not tired of pacing but tired of the chaotic thoughts that dwell lately.

"Why the last few days have I been such a fool. First, why do I have to fight with the humans when I can catch Rania to the Netherlands? Second why should I be dizzy thinking about Rania's address if I have someone who can look up someone's data in just a matter of hours?"

Hearing his boss muttering to himself, made Abe give a smile. She wanted to laugh but she was well aware of what happened after she laughed.

Definitely not only getting a tantrum from Aiden but also raw bogem.

Abe cleared his throat to neutralize his feelings. Then he said, "Maybe it's because the boss is in love. Love can blind someone. Blind eye sight and blind mind."

"Shut up!" aiden turned his head quickly to Abe. "Who told you to talk?"

Abe shook his head in fear. "Nothing, Boss."

"It's done with your work?"

Abe returned to shake. "No, Boss."

Aiden snorted and returned to his reverie. He was waiting for his man to look for data on Raden and his address in the Netherlands.

Aiden took a deep breath. He has long since confirmed Abe's remarks. 

Right too, huh? I'm like a Junior High kid who just knew love. Just left Rania alone, I can't think clearly.

Aiden ruffled his waist while linking his eyebrows. He tries to find a way for his relationship with Rania to get the blessing of Raden and can also bring Rania back to Indonesia.

This time, the way must not fail.

"Boss," cried Abe resuscitated Aiden from his reverie. "We've found Mr. Raden's address."

Aiden did not look happy or surprised. He just muttered softly while rubbing his chin.

It seemed obvious that Aiden was thinking hard. Made Abe frown at a confused face.

"What's up, Boss?"

"Look, Abe. I have to admit you're more experienced in relationships than I am. So what do you think I should do to get Mr. Raden to sympathize with me and accept me as his future son-in-law?"

Abe widened his eyes. Lips smile widely and stand up with a firm body.

"Just calm down, boss. Leave it all to me." Abe patted his own chest. "Cdefghijklmnop…"

"Shut up!" snapped Aiden again. "Who told you to memorize the ABC song?"

Abe lowered his head in fear. Aiden realized that he could not be joked.

But the next second, Aiden's face wasn't as fierce as it was. In an instant the handsome face was adorned with confusion and gloom.

He went back to walking. "So say! What should I do when I first go to the prospective-in-law's house?"

"In my experience, Boss. Camer will be happy if we guys bring something home."

Aiden's finger-picking. Then said confidently, "That's what I've been thinking. Chocolate martabak. Who doesn't like chocolate martabak?"

"Second," Abe continued. "Camers will be more interested in men who have established jobs."

"I'm CEO. There's no doubt about it" Aiden said with increasing confidence.

Abe nodded in agreement. "Third, camer will prefer men who are polite, kind, not arrogant and do not like to smite."

Aiden folded his hands in front of his chest and massaged his nose. He knew that the third point would be very difficult for him to do.

Given Raden has labeled him as a man who is not polite, angry and likes to fight. 

And for the first time an Aiden became less confident, simply because of the matter of the would-be-in-law.

Seeing that Abe, took a breath. "Silence, Boss. I'll help Boss Aiden in his fight for blessing."

"You got the trick?" ask Aiden.

Abe nodded with a meaningful smile on his lips.

Meanwhile, still in the same country, Rania stared out the window with a blank look.

He was in his room on the second floor. From the glass window of the room, Rania saw a group of teenagers riding bicycles across the street.

It looked like the hordes of teenagers were very happy, laughing at each other and pedaling bikes faster.

Rania could only smile cynically. How envious he was of that teenager who could play freely. While he was locked in the room.

Then the sound of knocking on the door broke the silence followed by the sound of the door creaking open.

"Miss Rania, I brought you some food" said Vincent, putting a tray of food on the table.

"Tell Dad, I'm not hungry!" Rania said without looking at Vincent. He kept looking at the cyclists who went back and forth in front of the house.

"But, Miss Rania hasn't eaten anything from yesterday."

Vincent remembers very well if Rania has not eaten at all after arriving in the Netherlands. Even though the housemaid has also cooked Rania's favorite Indonesian food.

The food was not touched at all. 

Rania is not allowed out by Raden. He was given three days before he would start working in the office.

Vincent stared intensely at Rania. It seemed that the woman was eager to get out of the room and Vincent had an idea.

"Miss, does Miss Rania want to travel to know more about the city of Amsterdam?"

Rania did not answer. Makes Vincent continue his speech without being asked.

"If yes. I can persuade Mr. Raden to allow Miss to eat outside. There are restaurants that specifically provide Indonesian cuisine menu around here."

"Good idea, Vin."

It wasn't Rania who said it but Raden. The middle-aged man stood in the doorway while folding both hands.

Then he walked over to approach Rania who was still pensive.

"Dad knows. The atmosphere of the room must make you feel good, right? Surely eating out can give you a little fresh air and you can be a little fresher."

Rania breathed a sigh. "Father only. I want to stay here."

Raden's mustache was moving with glaring beads of eyes. A sign that Raden is currently holding back not to easily vent his anger.

But even so, Raden still said in a pushy tone.

"No, Rania! You should come along. Point."
