The Love That Is Taken

Bastian's warning

“Huahahaha..!”

Bastian laughs wryly listening to Jonathan's story of yesterday's incident at the cinema that continues until he and Theresia return home.

“What's so funny? How come laugh to such a scene?”

Bastian was still laughing until his tears almost came out.

“Hahaha.Jonathan, Jonathan. I find it funny to imagine you going back and forth up and down the stairs in the cinema to buy popcorn, potatoes, mineral water…. Wow, wow, wow.., Theresia is worthy of the award as the wife carried on the face of this earth! Hahaha..”.

Jonathan glared at his best friend furiously. Very upset he was made a laughingstock by the person who had always been his vent all this time. Deep down, the handsome man was actually embarrassed to reveal his domestic problems with others. But if you bear it alone, over time he can take tranquilizers like his wife.

Meanwhile Bastian tried to calm himself by taking a deep breath and exhaling back. Though still feeling amused, the sombre-haired man eventually switched his talk by asking about Mina Sunyoto, Jonathan's high school friend who happens to meet in a movie theater and becomes the source of his quarrel with Theresia.

“Indeed the Mina is so beautiful, Bro? Your wife is here until dagger after seeing it.”

“Yeah, normal, anyway. Her hair is straight short and sheathed blonde..”.

“Sensual lips like Angelina Jolie..”

“I didn't pay attention that far, Bas. It could be There aja.”

“Continue wearing white color mini skirt..”.

“Moreover that! Her lips above me did not care. Especially the lower part of his body. How can my eyes be naughty everywhere if there is There constantly monitoring next to me?!”

“Means if you no longer go with your wife, your eyes are naughty, dong?”

Jonathan died a flea hearing his best friend's wily question. He saw Bastian flirting in front of him.

“You haven't answered my question, Bro,” bill Bastian while glancing mischievously.

His friend was forced to say, “We are both men, Bas. If there is a beautiful view why it is missed. Right, no? But I swear to death, since dating There I never touched another woman!”

“I believe. You are the kind of person who values relationships. There's your most serious boyfriend, right?”

Jonathan nodded in confirming. In his entire life, he has only dated three times. First with a high school friend, then with a college buddy, and lastly with Theresia. He got to know his wife while she was taking part in a labor insurance tender held by paint factory Simon Iskandar, Theresia's real father. The beauty and beauty of the girl had captured her heart. Apparently the sole heir of Iskandar's family also put his heart on him. Over time the young relationship became close and the two eventually decided to establish a more serious relationship.

Theresia's father did not object to having a son-in-law who was socially and economically far below his family, as long as the young man had a good personality, intelligent, and willing to work hard. The man who had eaten a lot of life's salt acid assessed all the criteria contained in Jonathan. Without hesitation he agreed to his daughter forge a special relationship with the young man. A year later Simon even asked about the continuation of their relationship and said that if it was serious should not have to delay marriage.

Jonathan, who was on the rise in the insurance business, was given the option to marry Theresia and work full-time at Simon's company or cut ties with the girl if she wasn't ready building a household. Because he loved his girlfriend so much, the young man finally chose the first option. With great heart abandoned his brilliant career to join the second largest paint company in the country.

“Oya, you said there will soon be a new secretary. There's no objection?” bastian asked in curiosity.

“Nope.”

“Tumben.”

“Why?”

“He is jealous. Time not selecting your new secretary first?”

Jonathan chuckled and said straightforwardly, “Lha, the new secretary candidate is no one else. He's Miss Rosa's niece, my current secretary. There believe in the same Miss Rosa, because she used to be her father's secretary for a long time, twenty years more.”

“Yes. Twenty-three years.”

“What? So young.”

“But she has worked as a secretary for a year. I interviewed, really. The person is kind, polite, intelligent, and fluent in English. It also seems to be diligent and likes to learn new things. I think he's the right candidate to replace his aunt.”

Dahi Bastian frowned upon listening to the reviews of his best friend. Jonathan, who saw that something was wrong, asked, “What's the matter, Bas? How are you getting so serious?”

“You are not in love with your new secretary candidate, right?”

Jonathan is like being struck by a tickle hearing Bastian's statement. The man immediately dodged firmly, “What's up, anyway? How come your mind is so negative?”

“You described the girl as very different from the time of the story about your high school friend who met in the cinema.”

“Yeah, Bas! How could Karin compare to Mimin?! Karin looked elegant despite her simple appearance. His hair is long natural black, not as garish as Mimin. Her make-up is also very thin, so her beauty looks natural. Her clothes were also very polite, just a long-sleeved shirt and a knee-length skirt. Not the level of Mimin compared to him!”

Bastian laughed again. Her tears came out this time. Jonathan was so upset to see it.

“Jonathan, Jonathan…. Try if your words about Karin were recorded and I sent to your wife, she would definitely oppose a thousand percent of the girl to be your secretary! Hahaha..”.

“What do you mean?”

“Then you were not aware that you were fascinated by the girl?”

“Ngawur!”

“You can explain in detail its appearance. Even praise her beautiful natural, kind, polite, intelligent, and others. Is that the professional impression of a leader on his new employee candidate, Bro? Just knew me.”

Jonathan was stunned to hear Bastian's statement. Is his heart really captivated by Karin?

“Saranku...if you still intend to maintain your marriage, you should look for a mature secretary like Miss Rosa. The risk is small, Bro.”

“What risk?”

“Risk you two having an affair.”

“Crazy!”

“It's been an open secret, Bro, some bosses have a special relationship with his secretary. Why can't that happen to you?”

“Today it was so young, Bas. No way she wants to be with me!”

“Then, you yourself want to be with him?”

The deg! Jonathan's chest suddenly hurt, like a dagger stuck right in his heart.

“You haven't answered my question, Jon.”

Bastian's friend cleared his throat for a while and replied softly, “I was forced to accept Karin working for me because of her condolences with Miss Rosa, Bas. Although hierarchically a position, he was my secretary, but he was actually much more senior than me in that company. I learned a lot from him. So it feels unethical to reject his recommendation to hire his nephew in his place.”.
