My Geeky Secretary's

43 Asking for Restu

Rania's eyes paused to see Aiden standing before her. He immediately rushed into the arms of the man who was so missed.

It felt like a dream to Rania. A few minutes ago he thought highly of Aiden and prayed in his heart for the two of them to meet.

And unexpected. Rania's prayer was immediately granted by the Almighty.

Soon Rania looked up to be able to look at Aiden. He pinched his own cheek and complained of pain.

Rania thought she was dreaming of meeting Aiden. 

"This is not Rania's dream. It's me, Aiden."

"B-bus."

The happy sparkle in Rania's eyes suddenly dimmed and changed with a worried look. He glanced towards the entrance. Hope Raden doesn't catch up with Rania to the restaurant.

"Boss, get me out of here!" rania Pinta.

However, Aiden shook his head with great confidence.

"No, Rania. We have to keep facing your father. I'll speak carefully to express my intention to propose to you."

Rania was touched by Aiden's words. Moreover, Aiden put on a firm face and there was no doubt let alone fear on his face.

Rania gave a smile as Aiden kissed her palm.

"Are you sure of what you said, Young man?"

A voice that Rania and Aiden were very familiar with made the two flinch and turn at the same time.

In front of them already stood Raden with an intimidating glare that made Aiden swallow the saliva.

Why do I have to get a model in-law candidate like this anyway? Aiden complained in his heart.

Despite that, Aiden remained courteous. As per the advice of Abe, Aiden must be humble and also lower his arrogance while in front of Raden.

"That's right. I want to marry Rania. Please bless our relationship, Mr. Raden."

Raden grunting. Then circulate the view around where almost some restaurant visitors look towards him.

It is not the right time and place to talk about Aiden and Rania's relationship. So Raden took a deep breath and reached out for Rania to get closer to him.

"Come on, Rania, we're home!"

Rania shook her head. "I don't want to, Dad."

Rejection from Rania, of course, made Raden go black. His thick moustache twitched with eerie whizzing eyes.

"Rania!" raden snapped which made Rania flinch.

For a moment Rania took a deep breath to be able to calm her heartbeat that was almost dislodged from its place.

"good. Rania will obey all of Dad's will. As long as Aiden is allowed into our house."

Raden glanced at Aiden. Then he looked back at his daughter. Two lovers in front of Raden held hands. As if I didn't want to be separated in that place.

"alright. Let's go home!" raden replied in the end and then he turned around first leaving the restaurant.

In the next few minutes, Aiden and Rania sat side by side on a sofa. Their direction of view was the same, which was in a middle-aged man of lush stature.

Since then, their hands have never gone out.

Raden snorted when he saw the hand and threw away his face.

The atmosphere in the living room was a gripping silence as well as thrilling. Because Aiden, a man commonly seen in the office, only this time made nervous when meeting with prospective in-laws.

Aiden straightened his back and tried to remain optimistic. Then he said, "Sir, I came here to bring you something. Hope you're happy."

Aiden turned to Abe who was sitting on the other side. Using an eye glance, Aiden codes Abe to give the brown martabak he brought to Raden.

But Abe stuttered. He gulped down the saliva violently as Aiden glared at him.

"Why silence? Hurry along! Where's the martabak for Mr. Raden?"

Abe scratched his non-itchy head while displaying a horse smile. Denga hesitated, Abe thrusting the martabak box.

Seeing Abe's unconvincing behavior, Aiden frowned. Then he opened the martabak box to make sure the quality of the chocolate martabak was still good.

"Abe.." furious Aiden flashed a sharp look at his personal assistant.

Um.

Raden cleared his throat which made Abe sigh in relief. But not for Aiden who immediately turned his head trying to smile. Even though he was still angry in his heart.

"So, what are you carrying?"

"Sorry, Mr. Raden. This assistant of mine is shamelessly spending the chocolate martabak that's supposed to be for you."

Raden looked at Aiden cynically. Then he threw his face back.

"That's it. Besides I don't like chocolate martabak."

Again Abe sighed and offered a prayer of gratitude in his heart.

"So, you want to marry my daughter, Rania?"

Aiden nodded. "true."

Raden looked at Rania. Raden's hand twisted one end of his pointed moustache. Looking clear from the sight of his eyes, Raden was thinking.

A moment passed, Raden finally took a deep breath. 

"Rania, get in your room!"

"Why, Dad? I want to be here" Rania insisted.

"This is a conversation between two men. You better get in your room."

"But, Father…"

Rania did not continue her words because her hand was patted softly by Aiden. Then she looked at the man who was also looking at her.

"Just obey!"

Rania took a deep breath. Although she did not want to get out of her seat, Rania kept on complying.

He got up from his seat and started walking towards the room. But his steps stopped right behind an urn.

He hides there to be able to listen to Aiden and Raden talk.

"Ehm, Vanilla. I know you're hiding behind the urn."

"Eh," 

Rania gasps and is shocked because her father can tell where she is hiding. He immediately ran into the room.

A few minutes passed, Rania walked back and forth waiting for the results of Aiden's talks with Raden.

In her heart, Rania prayed that Raden would bless their relationship and move on to marriage.

However, for forty-five minutes, Rania did not get any news. He was afraid to get out of the room.

Tired of waiting, Rania falls asleep in bed and wakes up when the maid wakes her up.

When Rania woke up, it was already afternoon. Rania gasped in shock and hurriedly ran into the living room. However, when he reached the living room, he sighed disappointed because there was no longer the existence of Aiden and Abe.

The room is empty. Even the second cup of the three men's drink had already been cleaned.

"Dam. How long have I been asleep?" Rania muttered while patting her own eel.

He cursed his sleepy folly while he was waiting for Raden's decision.

Just then, Vincent who was about to drive home walked through the living room. He saw Rania put on a sullen face, making Vincent's forehead constrict.

"What's up, Miss?"

"Vin, have you seen Father and Boss Aiden? Where are they going?"

"Oh, Mr. Aiden was gone an hour ago" Vincent said. "Why indeed?"

Rania clucked in annoyance. Because Aiden left without saying goodbye to him.

"You know what Boss Aiden talked about with Dad?"

Vincent put on a meaningful smile. Then he he said, "Yes, Mr. Raden does not agree you are married to Mr. Aiden."

"What?"
