Not Love But Married

Unyielding

This morning Rania left earlier than usual, Sarah who asked Rania to come to the office early and help prepare everything. The atmosphere of the office is still quiet, especially on the eleven floors where the CEO's office is located, it looks like three people are lying prickly sneaking around like thieves into Arsha's office.

Almost fifteen minutes they stood in the darkness of Arsha's office which was deliberately not lit by the lights, and the window curtains were also sealed.

"Why so long?", whispered the voice of the woman who was impatiently waiting.

"Prophe Non, usually this hour has come to the office".", whispered a male voice beside him. While the other person just fell silent while carrying something in his hand. The three men were already visibly agitated with hearts pounding awaiting Arsha's arrival.

'Ting.. '

The sound of the elevator reached the eleventh floor, the three people were pounding and the atmosphere in the room was getting gripping as they all fell silent, only the sound of their heavy breathing was heard. The sound of footsteps began to approach Arsha's private office, then the office door was opened slowly from outside.

"Why aren't the lights on?" said Arsha, annoyed at the sight of his office still pitch black.

'Czech.. ', Arsha pressed the light switch located next to the entrance of his office.

"Surprise..!!!", shouted the three people who had been in the room at the same time. Arsha was stunned to look at the three people who were already inside his office. The three people who were wearing conical hats on their heads and they looked sinless smiled widely in front of him.

"What the hell is this?!!".

Instantly all was silent, only Sarah who was still smiling broadly looked at Arsha happily.

"My happy birthday.... ", sarah hugged Arsha's body and kissed her cheeks. Dani and Rania looked down when they saw Sarah's behavior.

"West.... ", arsha growled at Sarah's behavior.

"Rania come here", Sarah pulls Rania's elbow so she can get closer to her. Rania still kept her head down, glancing in embarrassment and fear at Arsha who was staring at her with a sharp gaze. Rania stood glued while holding a sky blue tart that read 35 on it. While Dani is still standing behind Rania while carrying a paperbag containing gifts from Sarah to Arsha.

"Whose idea is this?", asked Arsha in a heavy voice, trying to suppress his sudden rising emotions this morning.

"It's all Rania's idea" replied Sarah's origin. Rania immediately turned to look surprised at Sarah, 'Well... why was it me who became the victim?'.

"Bu-not me, sir." said Rania with a stern voice out of fear at the sight of Arsha's sharp gaze.

Sarah immediately chuckled, "Hahaha.This is all my idea of course dong.. You like it, don't you, Sha?".

"West... I'm not a kid anymore. Events like this are too childish.".

"You are not a child anymore, now we are married!", Sarah was spoiled in Arsha's arms.

Arsha looked at Sarah in disbelief. Threshed by Rania who was still silent holding the cake, and Dani who hid behind Rania's body.

"You two, get out of here!", Arsha ordered in a loud voice.

"Ehh. You guys don't come out first. Arsha, you answered my question first. You want to marry me?".

"Geez!! Stop messing around!!", Arsha snorted angrily at Sarah who was still writhing in her arms.

"I never messed with you, Sha!! From the first I was serious, from before you met Celine!", cried Sarah no less loudly than Arsha.

Arsha took a deep breath, "Sarah... ".

"Stop!!", cried Sarah quickly, cutting off Arsha's words that she did not want to hear.

Sarah grabs the papperbag in Dani's hand, then throws it hard on Arsha's face, her eyes are inundated with tears that are ready to spill.

"Based on selfish men, stone heads!! Until when do you keep doing this, Sha?! Do you still want to wait for someone like Celine?!!", Sarah said loudly.

"Sarah!!", Arsha again shouted, making Dani and Rania gasp in shock.

"Just enjoy your wait, Sha! Until you can no longer feel the name of love!", said Sarah in a voice that began to tremble with tears, then stepped wide out of Arsha's office. Arsha looked at the papperbag lying in front of her feet, then picked it up.

"We'll excuse us, Boss", said Dani slowly, then stepped away from Arsha who still looks very emotional, Rania walked slowly following Dani to get out of the room.

"Rania.", Rania's steps immediately stopped suddenly when she heard Arsha calling her, fearfully turning her body to face Arsha.

"Take this, return it to Sarah.".

"Good, Sir. Excuse me first, sir", Rania grabbed the papperbag in Arsha's hand, then passed from Arsha's presence.

"Mas Dani, how is this?".

"You go to Miss Sarah's office first, accompany Miss Sarah. I'm afraid he's reckless.".

"So what is this gift?".

Meanwhile, Sarah was seen crying in her office, her eyes closed feeling a huge disappointment in her heart.

"Basar Arsha the head of a rock!!", he cried out in annoyance, trying to spill all his annoyance by squeezing the report paper on his desk.

'Tok tok tok'

"Mom Sarah, may I come in?".

"Enter Rania", Rania who just entered Sarah's office was immediately greeted by Sarah's embrace and cry.

"Rania. Why didn't he give me a chance at all? Why does she not want to see my sincerity at all.", Sarah sobbed loudly in Rania's arms.

"Patience to Miss Sarah... God will surely give way to Sarah. Miss Sarah just needs to pray and be patient waiting for an answer from God...".

Sarah let go of her embrace, looking at Rania who was smiling sincerely at her.

"Does God want to hear this do'a from someone like me, Rania?".

"God will always hear the do'a of all His people. He will not leave His people in prolonged distress.".

"Rania, I'm always happy to hear all your words. I'm really calm right now, thanks, Rania.".

"Alhamdulillah... Miss Sarah must be patient in facing all the trials in this world, God willing, everything will be happy later.".

"Yes, you're right, Rania. I must be patient, I must be able to deal with all of this. I've been waiting for a dozen years, and I won't give up on getting that stone head!!",

Rania is surprised to see Sarah who has changed from sad to excited again.

"Mom Sarah's okay, right?".

Sarah looked at Rania with a smile, "You want to help me, right, Rania?".

Rania raised her eyebrows not understanding, 'what else is this? why do I always get involved with their problems.', Rania's mind starts to get nervous.

Rania returned to her room after hearing Sarah's outpouring of heart, almost an hour Sarah asked to be accompanied by a chat, rather just be a loyal listener.

Rania was sitting lethargic on the sofa behind her office, 'hhhh.. Why am I so involved anyway?'.

The sound of the elevator stopping on the eleventh floor, Rania hurriedly got up and walked to the front desk.

A woman who looked old came out of the elevator. Women who are still beautiful with elegant appearance, a relaxed style of dress but still look fashionable and well mannered, long-sleeved shirt with white bone combined with a long skirt milk brown as high as a calf.

'Who is he?', Rania looked at the woman curiously, because for almost two months working here, she had never met the woman who was now walking up to her desk.

"Good morning, Mom. Can I help you?". The woman smiled looking at Rania who was smiling kindly welcoming her arrival.

"You're Rania, right?".

Rania was surprised when the woman mentioned her name, 'He knows my name? Who exactly is he?'.

"It's right, Mom. I'm Rania, secretary to Mr. Arsha.".

"You are so beautiful, Rania", Rania immediately blushed in embarrassment at the praise from the beautiful woman in front of her. "Thank you, Mom. You're also very pretty.".

The woman smiled at Rania's words, "I want to meet Arsha.".

"Sorry, Mom. Did you make an appointment with Mr Arsha?", asked Rania later, because it seems that in the agenda today there is no appointment with this woman.

"Hhhh, you have to make a deal first, right? Gini aja, Rania, you said the same Arsha, if Ms. Hanum comes and wants to meet.".

Rania nodded obediently, "Okay, Ms. Hanum, please wait a moment. I confirm to Mr. Arsha first.".

The woman was still staring at Rania who was calling Arsha, like she was admiring Rania's appearance.

"Please come in, Ms. Hanum. Mr. Arsha has let me in.".

"Okay, thanks Rania. It's nice to meet you.".

"Together, Mom. I am also happy to meet my mother.".

'Who is Hanum's mom? why does he know my name? and what does it have to do with Mr. Boss?', Rania looked at the curious woman who was walking towards Arsha's study.
