Not Love But Married

Start faltering

Rania stepped into the terrace of the house after getting off the online taxi that had brought her home from the office.

"Assalamu'alaikum.

"Waalaikum... Bundaaa.!!", said a very loud crashing sound from inside the house, and followed by the sound of small footsteps running near the front door of the house. Rania opened the unlocked door.

"Bundaaa.!", Andra shouted loudly welcoming Rania who had just opened the door.

"Andra Mother's child.!", Rania immediately hugged Andra who was running towards her, smelling the scent of Andra's body that seemed to drive away her fatigue.

"How long is it?" Andra protested to Rania. Her red lips pursed cutely and her cheeks bulged like she was lashing at Rania. Rania smiled wryly and also haru at her own son. Today was the first day he left Andra for quite a long time. Because before he was always beside Andra and always accompanied Andra wherever he was.

"I'm sorry, Mother... Mother yesterday said with Andra, if starting today Mother works in a very high building.", explained Rania hope Andra can understand.

Andra scowled spoiled while her hands were busy playing her Mother's veil, "Why does Mother have to work? Temen Andra had a lot that his mother won at school. He said the work was his papa, not his Mother. ".

Rania smiled to hear Andra's complaint that was protesting against her.

"Because Mommy wants to buy a good lego for Andra. Andra said yesterday to the big dinosaur lego right, well... Mommy is now eating the money to buy lego dino.".

" Andra does not become a kepengen lego dino Bunda, so Mother does not need to work anymore. Let Mommy can Temenin Andra school. ".

" Dear, Mother works it is for worship as well, looking for halal sustenance to eat Mother and Andra, and most importantly for Andra school so that Andra becomes a smart child. Now it is the duty of Andra to pray and ask the same God, so that our sustenance is smooth and barokah. ".

Andra mangosteen seemed to understand the words of Rania. "But Mommy can not work soy sauce, later Mommy is sick. If Mother is sick, Andra will be sad", Rania smiled happily at Andra's advice.

"Yes dear... God willing Mother and healthy, aamiin. Eehhhh how was school? Andra has made a new friend yet?", asked Rania trying to distract Andra.

"Had Mother... Andra's friends have been very busy, earlier Andra played a chase with Rasya, Kiano, the same Farel also bund", said Andra with enthusiasm.

"Have Ra gone home?", said the mother who had just come out of the bedroom.

"Yes Ma'am", Rania immediately greeted the hand of Mother who was standing in front of her and kissed the back of her hand.

"Andra, let's play first with Yang Uti. Mom just came home from work, her body is still dirty. Mommy wants to take a bath together to change clothes first, right Mommy?", Mother grabbed Andra's hand and took her slowly.

"Andra main used to be the same Yang Uti yaa" said Rania while rubbing Andra's head.

"Yes Mother.. Come on Yang Uti, play the same lego robot Andra.", Andra immediately pulled Mom's hand towards the middle room.

Rania smiled looking at Andra and the mother who was walking hand in hand. Mother and father are still staying one more night in Jakarta, and will only return to Jogja tomorrow afternoon, because the father is only on leave of work for 2 days, so can not linger in Jakarta.

Rania stepped towards her bedroom that she was in with Andra. The 4x4-meter room has been arranged by Rania herself so that it looks like a throat that is only filled with a bed measuring 160x200 and a medium-sized cupboard inside.

The house was deliberately only equipped with furniture as necessary, considering the size of the house is quite small and very mediocre to live with three people. The goal is only one, so that Andra can freely play without worrying about hitting things at home. Andra is an active child, likes to play and always runs around.

Rania sat on her bed, her eyes staring at the picture frame on the nightstand next to her bed.

'Mas Andre, I went home.', Rania looked at Andre's photo with a sad look. Her tears began to drip out and wet her cheeks. Rania sighed deeply, recalling the incident earlier this afternoon in her office.

He met his boss, Arshaka Narendra Wiguna. The meeting that only lasted a short time and was able to make Rania a little shaky with her stance. Rania is directly in command to learn all data, files and records quickly.

The flashback

'Ting... '

Rania who was sitting reading the previous secretary's note immediately stood up and her eyes turned to look at the elevator that was opening its doors.

A tall, well-dressed man emerged from the elevator. Rania was speechless staring at the extremely cold face expressionlessly in front of her. 'Was he the boss, Arshaka Narendra Wiguna?', his eyes still fixed on a man who was now walking closer to him. For a while they just stared at each other without greeting each other.

'Really true', Rania's inner heart.

Arsha simply replied by nodding her head while glancing at Dani.

"Include this Rania Putri Ramadhani, the new CEO secretary. Rania, this is Arsha, CEO of PT Wiguna.".

"Greetings Mr. Arsha, I am Rania's new secretary", said Rania introduced herself with an awkward smile. Again Arsha just nodded her head without returning the words of Rania. 'It turns out very cold people', Rania tried to calm down to face Arsha's rigid attitude.

"Please quickly learn the data and records of the old secretary. The work piles up a lot because Dani is not good at handling it", said Arsha emphatically. Dani scowled bitterly at Arsha who was staring at her sharply.

Rania nodded slowly, "Okay sir, I will try to learn all of them quickly.".

With his haughty Arsha then immediately passed to his office, Dani saw a look of fear on Rania's face.

"Rania, spirit!" dani exclaimed at Rania in a whispering voice, then followed Arsha's steps that had entered her room. Rania only smiled awkwardly then held onto her chest that had been beating fast.

'Truly a very cold and stiff person', Rania breathed out slowly, her spirit had suddenly decreased after meeting Arsha face to face, 'How can I cooperate with such a cold person?' Rania just suddenly started to feel wavering with her confidence, should she retreat before fighting?.

Dani closes Arsha's office door slowly and follows her boss from behind.

"That's the secretary that Sarah chose?", Arsha asked Dani.

"Yes right, Boss. Miss Sarah herself chose Rania to be the CEO secretary.".

Arsha threw her body on the sofa of her private office.

"Rania seemed to be able to quickly learn Boss, she looked very smart and dexterous. And ehheemm. She is also very beautiful even though she is married and has children."

Arsha straightened her body looking at Dani in disbelief. "Huh... already have children? how old is he?", asked Arsha curiously.

"New 28 years, Boss. Young, but I'm married.".

"28 years? Are you married and have children?".

"Yes, Boss. Hhhh.. It's a pity Boss.".

"What's wrong?".

"Yes, honey why are you married? Try if you're not married, I'll definitely approach Rania.".

'Well!'

"Aww... Boss!", Dani stroked the shin of his left leg that Arsha had just kicked.

"Where would he want to be like you rich Drona!", Arsha's murmur was upset by Dani's remark.

Arsha was immediately silent, in her brain a lot of questions were emerging. Why would Sarah choose a secretary like Rania? What does Sarah mean and what is her purpose?. His appearance was really very much different from the previous secretary.

"Why did Sarah choose him?", asked Arsha who was still curious.

"Maybe out of fear that the boss is cheating again." Dani was immediately greeted by a sharp shot from his Boss' eyes, "Who cheated and who cheated?! You're lemes' mouth!".

Dani was silent, wrong again...
