The Secret of Office Girl

35. You're Fired

Kirana scissors the patient's identification bracelet, then keeps it under the pillow. He did that because soon Raka would arrive to see him.

Kirana won the vote. So, she continues to play Raya, the office girl.

Then, there was a knock on the door, and Raka appeared after Kirana let her in.

Raka and Kirana sat at each other for a long while. Until their link of view breaks as Kirana casts her face.

Inexplicably Kirana's behavior, made Raka even more cursed herself.

“Raka, you've put poison in Mr. Balin's coffee, right? You have misunderstood. Mr. Balin is not the one who hit Ray,” said Kirana who was still unable to stare at Raka.

“No, Kingdom. You misunderstood me. I didn't put anything on that coffee,” Raka said.

True Raka's guess, that Raya must have thought she was holding a grudge against Mr. Balin for Ray's death.

Raka walks through the room, wants her to hold Raya's body, and apologizes a thousand times for the girl to believe her.

“But I saw for myself that you stirred the coffee as I searched for a tray,” protest Kirana.

Raka shakes.

“I stirred the coffee to see what Neneng had input. I'm sorry, Raya. I should have told you. I didn't think that Neneng's mix was poison.”

“You don't accuse Neneng!” exciting Kirana.

“I'm not accusing, Raya,” protest Raka brushed off the charges.

“Whatever the person is, we will know it soon,” interrupted Balin who turned out to be sitting in one corner of the room with Alexa.

Raka was a little jumped by the presence of Balin and Alexa there. Since then he has been focusing on looking at Raya.

Raka also bowed to greet Balin who rose from his seat.

Before long, Balin's phone rang. He received a call from Nakula. While Raka and Raya exchanged lyrics impatiently waiting for information.

“Send a copy of that tape to Papa!” call Balin before he hangs up the phone.

Then Balin showed everyone the CCTV footage showing Neneng walking into the pantry while Raya was busy looking for trays.

It is also clearly visible, Neneng put something in the coffee cup prepared by Raya.

Next, take a look at what Raka said. The man crossed paths at the door with Neneng. He looks suspicious, but Raka's attention is soon sidetracked at Raya when her name is called.

Balin lets the video continue to spin until it shows Raka and Raya kissing. Then he glanced at his daughter and raised an eyebrow.

Raya can only look down embarrassed. Embarrassed at having misjudged Raka, and ashamed that Balin saw her kissing.

“So, it's clear Neneng who put poison,” said Balin closed his phone.

“But why Neneng? She's a plain girl. Surely he has been made a scapegoat by someone,” muttered Raya.

“Master, I ask permission to accompany Raya here. He wandered from the village, and had no relatives living in the city,” explained Raka pleading with Balin.

Balin himself glanced at Alexa who also looked back at him. If only Balin had not lost the vote, at that time he would have said that he was the father of Raya..

Balin threw another glance at Raka who was waiting for her answer.

“No. After this you go back to work. My wife will take care of Raya.”

Raka sighed a little disappointed, then she looked at Raya and grabbed her hand.

“You're fine here. I'll be back later.”

“I'm sorry to have accused you,” Raya said with regret.

“No problem. Get well soon, dear,” said Raka who then kissed the back of Raya's hand.

Cheek Raya meets red. How not? Raka is not ashamed to show affection in front of her father and mother Raya.

“Raka, I'm ashamed. There's Mr. Balin and Mrs Alexa,” whispered Raya.

“It's okay. They were also once young.”

***

After Raka and Balin left, now the ones in the VVIP inpatient room left Alexa and Kirana. They talk like two friends.

Kirana unhesitatingly tells her romance story to Alexa.

For Kirana, Alexa is her best friend. So no wonder he confided about his romance with Raka.

“Raka is very jealous if I am close to Nakula or Sadewa, even though they are the sister, Ma,” said Kirana.

Alexa chuckles.

“That's because Raka doesn't know that you are Kirana, honey,” says Alexa while stroking Kirana's hair.

“Papa used to be so not, Ma?”

“Yes, Papa is jealous too. It seems that all men are like that times huh?”

And the two women of different generations were also laughing.

“Mommy used to keep secrets to Papa no?’ kirana asked, curious about her parents' youth.

“Earning,” reply Alexa briefly.

“It's wrong that I lied to Raka about my true identity? On the bright side, I know that Raka is a darling without looking at my background, right, Ma?”

Alexa took a deep breath. He looked at Kirana's bead seriously, and slowly clasped Kirana's hand.

“Kirana, advice from Mama, you should tell Raka who you really are. Before Raka finds out from others.”

“But I'm not ready, Ma”

Alexa's lips curl a bitter smile.

“Kirana, learn from the mistakes Mama used to make, Papa you once left Mama when she knew Mama was lying.”

In the CEO's room, Balin has returned from the hospital. Accompanied by Nakula, Balin stared intently at one of his employees named Neneng.

Neneng was now sitting with his head lowered. He couldn't lift his head. His fingers intertwined to hide his trembling body.

Neneng swallowed his saliva. He knew this was going to happen. He was fired and returned home to be ashamed.

Just imagine, making Neneng shed tears.

“I'm sorry for what I've done, Sir. My intention is only to judge Raya,” said Neneng still in a down position.

“You know, your joke can make the lives of people die,” exclaimed Balin who as much as possible held a turbulent anger.

“Neneng khilaf, Mr.”

Want it to feel Neneng revealed to Balin, if all that was the idea of Mae. He was only told by Mae to put a white powder similar to sugar into the coffee made by Raya.

But Neneng is afraid and remembered the threat that if he involves Mae, he will be scuttle by market thugs who become Mae's friends.

While Balin remained silent staring at Neneng. He was silent not because he was out of words, but rather, was controlling his emotions.

“I promise I won't repeat it again, Sir. Please forgive me.”

“I forgive you and you will not repeat your actions again,” said Balin who made Neneng look up and review smile.

Neneng thought Balin would not fire him. However, before long Neneng had to swallow the bitter pill as Balin continued his words.

“You will not repeat your actions again because from tomorrow you are no longer working here. Neneng, you're fired!”
