The Secret Behind Marriage

Widow

A woman hastily steps into a kindergarten school, and stares at the watch on her left wrist.

And today, not wanting to be late like yesterday, when he was busy with work, and finally late to pick up his little angel.

However, his footsteps stopped when he saw a man he knew very well, was joking with a little girl who was about five years old.

The little girl he wanted to pick up, after coming home from school, was right at lunchtime.

"Mama" called the little girl to the woman who had just stopped her steps.

Then the little girl ran over to the woman who had just been called mama.

"Honey," said the woman, crouched down and spread her arms to greet the little girl who approached her. "Sorry dear Nana. Mama is late again to pick you up, "The woman immediately hugged the little girl who was none other than her little daughter.

"It's okay Mama. There is Om Anton who accompanies me," continued the little girl after the mother took off her embrace.

Then the woman moved from her place, then turned to the man who was called by the princess as Om Anton, when the man had approached her and the princess.

"Why are you here, didn't you say Mr Anton wanted to have lunch outside?"

"Yes. And I want to have lunch with Nana" replied the man, Anton.

"Sorry sir, next time" she refused, then carried the princess, and turned her body and stepped on her feet.

"Risa, why do you always forbid me to invite Nana to eat together," Anton said, and stopped the steps of the woman he called Risa.

The woman who was his secretary in the office, and also the woman who stole his heart the past year.

And Anton does not care about Risa who is the widow of one child, because she is so interested in Risa who is so independent to live her life.

A coarse breath shot out from Risa's lips then flipped her body to face Anton.

"I'm sorry before, sir, not that I forbid. However, Mr. Anton has been very kind to me all this time, by letting me pick Nana up back from school, when I was working, and I felt bad about all this, sir," clearly Risa recalled Anton her superior so well to her. She had allowed herself all this time to pick up the princess at school, even though Nana's school-going hours coincided with her lunch break.

And Risa is often late to return to the office after driving the princess home, although the distance of home and office where she works can be taken only fifteen minutes. But Anton never took issue with it.

However, that is not the first reason Risa always forbids Anton to invite the princess to eat together.

Because Risa knows exactly, Anton likes her, from several times the boss gives attention to her and tries to express his feelings.

And that's what Risa has been avoiding, as long as she holds the status of a widow for almost four more years, because she wants to focus on the princess, and don't want to give a chance to any man who wants to approach her.

Because in her mind it does not cross the slightest to have a companion, because it is still traumatized by her first marriage, where the husband committed domestic violence, until Risa decided to bear the status of a widow.

"Risa but this is just–"

"Sorry sir, excuse me first," Risa said, cutting Anton's words, then turning his body back and leaving Anton.

After Risa's departure, Anton breathed his coarse breath. Because again and again he could not approach the daughter of his secretary.

"Whatever you refuse, I will continue to approach your daughter and also get your love Risa," Anton said and his eyes kept on Risa's back further away from where she was.

Risa breathed a sigh of relief, after parking her matic motorbike in the parking lot of the Japote Group company, where she worked almost a year more as Anton's secretary. Because this afternoon, Risa was not late to return to the office in the afternoon break.

Although Risa has to pacing the company, the princess' school, home and back to the company again which is not too far away.

Risa sat her butt right on her chair, when she was in her study right in front of Anton's office.

Then Risa took a packet of bread from her bag, and put it on the table, remembering again, if she had not had time to eat lunch, because she did not want to be late back to the office.

However, just wanting to bite the bread that was already in her hands, Risa paused when the intercom phone rang.

And Risa also immediately moved from her seat, after picking up the intercom phone, where the one who contacted her was Anton, and told her to come to his room.

Risa immediately approached Anton's desk when she entered his study.

"Sir, how can I help you?" asked Risa who was now standing right in front of the work desk where Anton was sitting on his chair while carving a smile from the two corners of her lips towards Risa, who was at her desk, which of course did not see the smile of the superior because Risa lowered her head.

"How can you help me if I'm here. But your eyes are on the floor, you think I'm what Ris?"

"Oh sorry sir,"

Risa then straightened her head and looked at the smiling boss towards her.

Of course, Risa does not return the smile of the boss, because for Risa the smile is only for the princess, who is always with her when happy and also sad, and the princess is the one who became a tranquilizer when many people who scorned her because of the status she holds.

Anton who already knew that his smile would not be countered, faded the smile, then one hand thrust a packet of food towards Risa.

"Lunch first, before starting the activity again,"

"I've had lunch Sir," declined Risa.

Of course Anton knew if the secretary was lying, because he had seen clearly, if Risa wanted to eat bread, because the workspace where she was, could clearly see Risa's workspace, because the wall that becomes a restriction is a glass wall.

"Don't lie, eat first, because in an hour you have to go to Mr.'s company. X," Anton's orders. "And don't refuse any more, if you get sick, my company will be at a loss, because it has to spend money on hospital expenses. Do you understand!"

If in a subtle way can not make Risa take the food she gives, Anton can say a satirical greeting so that Risa does not refuse the gift.

And sure enough, Risa immediately took the food in front of her, then said goodbye to get out of Anton's office.

Of course it made Anton smile happily while looking at Risa out of his room.

"Do I also have to do something to get Risa? Looks like it's okay to try," Anton's mind while thinking.
