Not Love But Married

The secret of the past

'Dog.. !'

"Aww... Why kick my leg Boss?", Dani groaned in pain while holding the shin of his right leg that Arsha had just kicked who was still wearing his work boots.

"Is there anything you want to say now?!", said Arsha, staring bitterly at Dani.

"Boss, why do you like to torture people anyway.. What else is there to say? I was already reporting all the work in the office, all the reports I had sent. ", said Dani who was still grimacing in pain.

"I'm not asking about work at the office!".

"What's the matter anymore, Boss?", Dani stood up again with his head up, staring questioningly at Arsha.

"Rania.", said Arsha briefly.

Dani was silent for a moment, trying to think about things related to Rania today.

"Rania?? What happened to Rania? Isn't it from morning until afternoon Rania with Mr. Boss here.".

"There's something you keep secret, Dan?!", asked Arsha forcing Dani to be honest with her.

"What does that mean, boss?. I don't understand at all?", said Dani did not understand Arsha's intentions.

'mother.. !'

"Auww. ", now the shin of his left leg is kicked by Arsha. Dani grimaced in pain, clutching his left leg.

"Boss! What's the matter?!", said Dani annoyed.

"When did you know about Rania's husband?".

"Rania's husband? Rania's husband is in Salatiga, Boss.", Dani is surprised to hear a question from her Boss, why suddenly ask Rania's husband, lest he already know about Rania's husband.

"Continue.?", Arsha tilted her head, probing into Dani's already pale face.

"Yeah.where do I know about Rania's husband.", she said.

"When did you know?".

"You know what the hell, boss?".

"Suami Rania.", Arsha stressed.

Dani looked at Arsha who was standing in front of him, it seems like her boss already knows the secret of Rania.

"Did the boss know??" Dani asked Arsha out of curiosity.

Arsha just kept quiet and still put on a face full of anger, her eyes staring intently without blinking at Dani.

"Where does the boss know?".

"It doesn't matter where I know, what I've been asking since when do you know?".

"Boss, Rania herself asked to keep this a secret.".

"That means you know, right?! I'm asking, since when do you know?".

"Since four months ago." said Dani in a soft voice, staring fearfully at Arsha.

Arsha snorted dejectedly, 'Dani bastard! it turns out that he had known for a long time, his mind was irritated. But why is Rania keeping her husband's problems a secret?.

"Boss, don't punish Rania, he's not wrong, we're the only ones who never ask. If you want to punish me, punish me, boss. I'm ready!", Dani patted her own chest, as if she was setting up a body to protect Rania.

"Let it be considered heroic, if what I fight for is a person like Rania, I'm ready to be given the nickname hero. ".

'Bugh.. '

"Aww... Boss.!", Arsha's fist landed on Dani's chest. Dani spontaneously held onto her chest with both hands.

"Rania can't possibly want to be the same two-faced person as you!".

"Who says it is impossible, Rania herself says nothing is impossible, Allah is the One who turns back the hearts of men. And I was determined to go after Rania, until she wanted to be my wife!".

"Your dreams!".

"Yes right, Boss. My dream is to be with Rania forever", Dani smiled imagining Rania would accept.

Arsha pulls Dani's head back.

"Boss!".

"Finish the hospital administration, Andra will be home tomorrow afternoon. ".

"Why did the boss pay him? Rania has company insurance.".

"Whisper you, take care of it!".

Arsha just left leaving Dani who is still in the hospital hallway. Staring at the back of Arsha who began to move away, still amazed by the attitude of his boss who turned into caring for others. Arsha has always been the most anti-maintenance of other people's affairs, let's not look at his employees who are sick, ask him not, including Dani himself.

'Has the boss started to change? Thank goodness that's so.. Surely Madam Wiguna was very happy to know this, Dani's smile expands from her lips, happy because her boss began to change little by little into a figure she knew first, a good leader figure, who was a good leader, authoritative and much friendlier compared to now, the figure he longed for before the events five years ago.

Pov Arsha's

I don't know what prompted me to stay with Rania who was waiting for her son who had just been in an accident and is now hospitalized. Maybe it's because Andra's magnetism is too strong to attract me, so I can't ignore it.

Yes, after seeing it for the first time, Andra has made me interested and fell in love to keep close to him. The murmur in my chest just kept flowing spreading a warm feeling and feeling that could not be expressed in words.

I don't know, maybe it's because I feel like Andra is the incarnation of my son and Celine who left five years ago. Maybe my son if still alive is now as big as Andra, because if calculated the age is exactly the same as my own son.

I am very happy to know Andra who seems like a medicine and an antidote to the longing, sad, hurt and disappointed that I felt a long time ago.

I was also very impressed with Andra who was so smart and obedient to her parents, Rania.

Yes, Rania. People I never expected would always be around me when I worked. A woman in very closed clothes and impressed to take care and be careful in behavior and speech, he said.

When I first saw her, there was a strange and awkward feeling, so I didn't talk to her much. I don't know, it's like there's a big wall in front of Rania, ready to block me when I'm facing her. I finally chose to limit myself to speaking and speaking rudely. I was also surprised by myself, why if I faced Rania I could not dwell, but before her I often vent my emotions to my former secretary and to Dani of course.

Rania is indeed much more deft compared to my secretary, all her work is done quickly and neatly. My five-month agenda and activities also went smoothly and regularly. I admit, Rania is a really great person.

The feeling of comfort and calm if adjacent to Rania, makes everyone also like her. Sarah, Dani, Mama and the other employees, like bewitched to keep clinging to Rania. Including me too, somehow, there is a feeling of comfort and calm when with him, maybe because Rania who does not talk too much and maintain her behavior makes me more focused on doing my work activities.

Maybe that's what makes me dream of Rania a lot. I also did not think, the dream often came overshadowing me, the dream of Rania who was waiting for me under the waterfall. I don't know what that means? Rania always comes to my dreams when I have nightmares that haunt me for the past five years.

Until I finally decided to further restrict my relationship with Rania, I tried to ignore her, and it seemed like Rania felt a cold change in my attitude towards her. But he remained calm and looked ordinary, never asking anything and always taking my orders obediently.

I also started to get suspicious of Dani who continued to stick to Rania despite knowing that Rania was married and had children. Dani seems to like Rania a lot.

Ah it turns out that it was me who did not know, Rania's husband turned out to have died five years ago. It's fair Dani was so persistent approaching Rania.

Whatever it is, the most important thing now is that I have found my own happiness. Andra, that kid really makes like re-discovering the meaning of life in me. I just want to get close to Andra, close to my happiness.
