My love is blocked by your throne

23. Don't Smile.

Lying is hard, lying is exhausting.

Because to cover up one lie, you need another lie, and so on and so forth.

Long time lying becomes a habit and for the next, when it is used to lying, it will be called a liar.

Aura shuddered in horror at the tip of her own thinking.

Although he did not want to do a lie let alone called a liar, in fact in recent days he has done the lie, and worse yet the victim is his own father. Someone who has been very respected and loved all this time.

Aura scooped her breath many times, her sleep had even been disturbed due to the thought of all this.

In these two days he woke up late which led to late going to the office. Coupled with congestion on the road and must jostle in public transportation.

You do not think that after marrying the CEO of Pramudya Corp, Aura will live in a magnificent house with all-round facilities, from Art, driver and private car. No. gabe. The aura remained Aura with an unchanging life like before.

Living in a rented house, commuting to the office by public transport. Wh why? because she's just a secret wife.

"Slow again," Sarkas Damaresh welcomed Aura's arrival. The girl stepped foot in front of the boss who was already sitting haughtily in his great chair.

Two days late, Damaresh just stared at him wordlessly, and then all went on as usual. Damaresh with his busy life, Aura with his work, the two communicate only about work. But now the man immediately greeted him with an unsightly question. Aura smiled clumsily.

"If you still want to work here, tomorrow don't be too late!" Damaresh stared at Aura sharp as he said. He threatened without asking first what made Aura arrive late in the past three days.

Though indirectly Aura is late for protecting her, protecting the unnatural marriage laws that have been applied by Damaresh so that not known to Lukman.

Every night in these three days, Lukman always called Aura to ask him the news plus asked Damaresh too, even asking for time to talk to her daughter's husband.

What does Aura have to say? be honest? not likely.

He made up the story that her husband was overtime, her husband had an out-of-work visit, or her husband was meeting with his business relationship outside the home.

And after all that lying story, Lukman did sound believing but Aura became restless on her own, unsettled on her own. Guilt and sin haunted him. The shadow that he would be called a liar by the father if all this was revealed made him shudder in horror.

As is known together is not, where there are eternal lies. Even for an organized lie, for a moment no one realizes it. But time always answers every true story.

If it came, Aura would not be able to see the pain her father would receive. So all this thinking makes it difficult to close your eyes, be late to sleep, and wake up late, then late to work.

"Why stand still?" the circus of Damaresh again towards Aura who was still standing still in his original position.

"So I can sit down, sir?" Aura responded casually.

"If you still want to stand there, don't you either." Damaresh stared flatly.

"So you're done scolding me? all right I'll sit." Aura threw a thin smile that Damaresh caught just a glance as the girl immediately stepped up to sit in her chair.

"Why does your face look pale? are you sick?"

a question for Aura that contains a form of attention. But calm down, the one who asked was not Damaresh, but Kaivan who happened to be in the same room as well.

"No papa sir" said Aura.

"really?" Kaivan looked at Aura closely.

"Just a little sleep deprivation,"

"Why? Do you have a lot of thoughts? or in your contract a lot of mosquitoes? or is there a neighbor who fusses at night until you can't sleep?"

Kaivan's question sounded funny to Aura so it made the girl laugh freely towards Kaivan. "Not funny?" ask Kaivan.

"It's very funny sir, so I laughed," Aura replied with the rest of her laughter, Kaivan so go along laughing.

"I just saw you laugh for the first time, Ra.

It turns out that seeing you laugh is more fun than seeing a Korean girl" Kaivan said, successfully making Aura laugh again.

"I also just found out that Mr. Kai can be funny too,"

reply Aura

"You know that I used to also want to participate in stand up comedy a show that aired on one of the private TV, you know?"

"Yes sir, you know," Aura nodded her head.

"Do you know why I wanted to attend the show?"

"Why sir?" Aura enthusiastically asked.

"I almost forgot how to laugh, because since I was a child I have been friends with someone who doesn't know how to laugh, doesn't know how to smile, his face is flat like the back wall of my apartment,"

"Ooh is that right, sir?" Aura again nodded her head, while closing her mouth to hold back the laughter. Of course Aura knew who Kai meant.

"But I didn't pass the audition that time, Ra, 'cause .."

"Ehem." Damaresh immediately interrupted Kaivan's insignificant conversation with Aura that even they ignored his existence. Though he is the owner of power in this room and in all offices of course.

"No! get some water for your boss, Aura. Looks like he needs a drink" Kaivan gestured to Damaresh.

"I'm not thirsty" said Damaresh immediately.

"For you to stop your unimportant conversation with Arra" Damaresh said without looking at the interlocutor.

"Why indeed? there's a law if I can't joke with your personal assistant?

or can I not joke with your wife?"

Kaivan's stern question makes Damaresh look up and look at Kaivan, as if he hints that he does not like what his best friend said.

Instead of feeling guilty or afraid to face the response of Damaresh, Kaivan gets closer to Aura. "Aura you know, what's the right thing to do right now?"

"What sir?"

"Swash," the kaivan immediately rushed away leaving the room with his laughter restrained. Aura also accompanied Kaivan's departure with her laughter as well.

"Have you finished laughing?" Damaresh stared intently at him.

"Not sir, any minute," Sahut Aura.

"Even if you can't laugh, at least don't stop others from laughing, because laughing is beautiful sir, a beauty you've never felt before" he added.

"Do you want to work, or do you want to lecture me?"

Aura did not answer except to throw a smile, a smile that could also be seen by Damaresh at a glance, because the girl immediately focused on her work no longer caring about what Damaresh did afterwards.

Aura did not know, if every Aura smiled towards the big boss of Pramudya Corp, it was, Damaresh responded by sighing as if she was expelling something in her would be the charm of the gentle smile Aura had just seen today, after almost a month of working together.

After showing the minutes of the meeting he had prepared and approved by Damaresh, Aura still did not move from where she stood. Usually he will immediately pass back to his place after notifying his interests.

Damaresh looked up at him.

"What else is it?"

"I'd like to ask you a favor, sir, may I?"

"Hmm," Damaresh gave a small nod.

"Talk to my father, even if only for a moment, sir" Aura asked.

"Why?" Damaresh was astonished by the request.

"Throughout three nights, I always called and asked to talk to you too." Aura explained.

For a moment Damaresh was still silent in thought. "Alright, later," he said.

"Can't now sir?" Ask Aura because usually at this hour Lukman has returned from the field.

"I'm still a lot of work, you see for yourself, right?"

"Well, I understand, but I promise you later?"

Aura wanted to be more sure.

"Hhmm," Damaresh nodded.

Aura immediately smiled happily "Thank you sir, thank you yes," Her face was so sparkling because it was happy.

"Don't smile like that to me!" Said Damaresh suddenly, after three times he got a beautiful smile Aura which resulted in less good on his heart, the man immediately gave his word.

The aura momentarily choked with such a ban,

but then his ignorant soul broke out.

"Only to you, right, I can not smile like this, if to Mr. Kai, Mr Anton and some other employees do not papa sir?"

"Don't smile like that to anyone Arra!"

Damaresh has expanded his ban.

"What should I smile about?" Aura was now astonished by the far-fetched prohibition.

"Smiling is normal,"

"But I don't have a stock of smiles much, my smile is like this indeed," Aura said with a smile again. Damaresh seemed annoyed by that.

Make Aura like this discussion.

"No, don't smile at anyone!" Break Damaresh.

"Ooh can not sir, in religion I explained that the smile is alms, yes if you can be alms with material and power. If I don't have it, sir, enough with my smile." Pungkas Aura's.

"In your religion, it's also said that obeying your husband is obligatory, right?" Damaresh looked at Aura.

"Meaning husband, that means father, right? when did you start to feel like my husband?"

Aura's sarcastic question succeeded in making Damaresh speechless. The smiling aura won.
