President Budeg Vs Secretary Matre

Chapter 7. The Arrival of Rahandika

Chapter 7

The state of the hospital room was suddenly quiet, even though there were three people there. In Malika's heart laughs at Naresh. While the man cursed his stupidity and Grandpa Kamandaka was angry because he felt he had been cheated.

"Are you pretending to be asleep?" asked the old man, looking intently at his grandson.

"I'm setu—"

Malaika quickly placed an index finger on her lips to keep Naresh quiet, as the answer did not match what her grandfather had asked. They will code each other if something goes wrong then it is better to be quiet.

"Grandfather, since when is here?" ask Naresh to change the subject.

"Why didn't you tell Grandpa that you had an accident?" Kamandaka's grandfather asked without answering the question posed by Naresh.

Malaika who was standing behind Grandpa Kamandaka gave the code by raising her three fingers. He told her that the old man was asking questions as they thought.

Naresh understands the code the secretary gave him. If the first question is about not being told the accident that befell him.

"I don't want to make Grandpa sad. I don't want to make a mess in the company either. Later both Maheswara and Abimana will take this opportunity to shift my position in the office" Naresh replied calmly. His grandfather nodded slowly with a faint smile.

The young man glanced at his secretary and was seen giving a thumbs up. The answer is appropriate.

"Is this a deliberate act?" ask Grandpa Kamandaka who now looks pity to see the state of his grandson.

Malaika held out six fingers. The question is still in line with what they predicted.

"There is a possibility that this accident was intentional by someone who intended to harm me. The police are conducting an investigation at the moment" Naresh replied with a glancing eye toward Malaika who was giving a thumbs up to him.

"What did the doctor say about your current condition?" 

Naresh saw Malaika brandishing her seven fingers. That signifies a question like number seven.

"The doctor said that I just need enough rest. Because my body is strong and healthy, so there is no problem with the state of this body" the grandson replied convincingly.

"As long as you get treatment here, then the office will be taken over—"

"Grandfather, Naresh is still able to do his job well. All this time I was doing work also with her help and supervision," Malaika cut because it was the eleventh question predicted by her and Naresh.

"Naresh must rest completely, Malaika. If he still takes care of the company's problems, when will he recover. So, Grandpa will go back to the office and you will help" said Grandpa Kamandaka as he looked towards Malaika.

"No. Malaika will take care of me while I'm sick" Naresh said, rejecting his grandfather's wishes.

Malaika was surprised because the man's answer was connected. He was hesitant about the disturbance in his ear.

"If you want to be cared for by Malaika, then whose office job will you hold? Just hire a nurse to take care of you!" It was clear from the look on his face that the old man was upset.

"Office work will be done by Dika. He's my assistant, so he can. Tomorrow he will return from Singapore. Grandpa can be helped by it," Naresh said, not to be outdone. Rahandika who is a good friend can also be trusted and reliable in work.

Malaika is happy because Rahandika is coming home. It has been 2 weeks that his idol went to work abroad. Although their love ran aground because it was not approved by his mother. Their relationship is still good.

The next day, Malika came to the hospital feeling happy after a notification from m-banking money 5 million from Naresh had entered. Though yesterday he was in the hospital until magrib. The woman invited Grandpa Kamandaka to quickly go home and rest because her boss also had to rest a lot not to get tired. 

"One hour less can be 5 million. Not bad," muttered Malaika with a sweet smile adorning her beautiful face.

"Wa'alaikumsalam" replied a man whom Malaika had longed for.

How surprised he was when the two of their neutrals clashed. The man who had a sweet smile that always captivated him, now stood near the bed of the superior.

"When? When did you come home? Not today? But, why did you come here so early in the morning?" malika asked with a lot of questions.

The man who was asked laughed. She was happy to see her ex-boyfriend.

"I came home yesterday afternoon. But, I rested first before being given another heavy duty same boss," Rahandika replied still with a sweet smile that made Malaika's heart pound.

Deheman Naresh's voice reminded the two men, that there were still others there. Of course it made Malaika and Rahandika turn their attention to him.

"You'll be grandpa's assistant. Do as usual. If grandfather just nagged on the phone Malaika. Remember that! That's if grandpa nagged. If not, don't call" Naresh said aloud.

Rahandika knows that while working she should not mess around, let alone call who has nothing to do with work. You can be fired with disrespect. Back when she and Malaika were dating, they worked with professionals. Not dating during work hours. They do their respective tasks well.

"Have you had breakfast, Mr President?" malaika asked to see no traces of eating at the table.

"Don't know yet. Because—" 

Malika placed her index finger on her lips to keep Naresh's mouth shut. A sign that the man answered the wrong question.

'Why are hearing devices not used? He's not a suspicious person? They've been best friends since school days?' (Malaika)

After Rahandika's departure to the office, Malaika asked about hearing aids that were not used in front of the assistant. However, Naresh said as if he did not believe him.

"Don't tell me you're jealous!" malaika exclaimed with a chuckle.

"Who is jealous?" rebut Naresh in a resentful tone.

"Yes, deh. You're not jealous" Malaika said in a teasing tone.

Both of them do their job in silence. Occasionally Naresh looked towards Malaika. 

He was tired of staying in the hospital. He is currently unable to walk normally. Sometimes he still staggers sometimes can walk normally. The shower almost fell down a few times.

"Sir, you will be in therapy soon" said a beautiful female nurse full of make up. There are rarely nurses who dress up like that. They usually make up accordingly.

"Therapies? What therapy?" Malaika was astonished.

"Walk," the nurse replied with a teasing smile.

Malaika looked towards Naresh. He just found out that the man had to do walking therapy. Suddenly he felt compassion for her.

"Print Presdir—" said Malaika cut off because of the sound of the phone ringing. He saw Maheswara's number on screen.

"Sir, is this Mr Maheswara suddenly calling?" Malaika showed me her cell phone.

"Would she call you?" naresh asked not to like it.

***

Who's Maheswara? Why did that guy call Malaika? Wait for it to go, yeah!
