The Secret of Office Girl

55. Raka And Amanda

Throughout the occasional trip Raka glanced to the side, where Balin sat while reading a message on his phone.

From the look on Balin's face, it is certain that the man hides anxiety.

“What's the problem, Mister?” ask Raka.

Balin shook his head and replied, “Nothing.”

Even so, Balin's eyes cannot be lied to. His fingers tapped on his knees. A sign that he is not calm.

One minute ago, Balin got a report from Ken if Kirana had just been slapped by Raka's mother.

The news made Balin very angry. It was very desirable for him to force Kirana to end her disguise.

Before long the car stopped in front of the gate of the Mahendra family mansion. After delivering his boss, Raka immediately plugged the car gas at full speed.

Meanwhile, Balin walked into the house. In the living room, there is Alexa who is arranging flowers.

“What Kirana already at home?”

A question that made Alexa frown.

“Not yet. Maybe Kirana's still on her way. While waiting how about you change your clothes first?”

Not wanting Alexa to realize his anxiety, Balin nodded, and immediately followed the advice of his wife.

Raka's car drove fast to the maximum limit. His hands clasped tightly onto the steering wheel, and the view focused onto the streets.

Since then, he has been looking forward to meeting Raya.

The girl must be happy if she can get home sooner. At least that's what Raka thought.

The smile grew even more when Raka arrived at the apartment building and took the elevator. He opened the door of the apartment, and immediately smelled the aroma of cooking from the kitchen.

Then Raka's footsteps lead him there, and it would be surprising that she saw Amanda walking and then arranging the dishes on the table.

Amanda greeted her son with a smile.

“Raka, you happen to be home. Mommy cooked your favorite roasted chicken. We had lunch with yuk.”

Take lunch together that makes Raka happy not to play. She thinks Amanda has changed her mind, and now blesses her relationship with Raya.

Raka does not know if Raya is no longer in the apartment. Because he had not seen the girl and thought Raya was still in the room.

“I'm going to your room to take you to lunch.”

“But, Raka...”

Raka didn't listen to Amanda continue her words. He rushed to the Kingdom room, turned the doorknob, and opened it wide.

Instantly, Raka's eyeballs perfectly rounded, finding not Raya who was in the room, but Clara.

The woman gasped and was happy to see Raka in the doorway. He got down from the bed, spread out his painless hands, and immediately slipped spoiled on Raka's arm.

“Mana Raya?” asked Raka while sweeping a glance around the room.

Hearing the name of Raya mentioned, made Clara throw a breath of air.

“Raya has Mommy kicked out of this apartment,” said Amanda from behind Raka.

Quickly, Raka turned around, casting a cold look at her mother.

“Mommy has no right to expel Kingdom. This is the apartment that Raka bought for her, Mom.”

Amanda ruffled her waist, threw away her face, and muttered, “It seems right that Clara said. You've already hit pellet.”

As things began to heat up, Clara further tightened her body in Raka's arms. He showed me a cast-clad right hand.

“Mommy you kicked Raya out because she wanted to break my hand. Look!” clara said with a voice that was deliberately made to languish.

Raka only glanced at Clara's hand, then looked back at Amanda. He had no interest or empathy for Clara at all.

“My hand hurts, Raka. I don't know what happens if Aunt Amanda doesn't slap Raya. Surely my hand has been amputated,” Clara continues to whine spoiled.

“Clara's right. That act of the Kingdom is completely unethical. So Mommy just slap her.”

Both of Raka's hands clenched tightly, her breath hunting in rhythm with her chest rising and falling. He looked at Amanda and Clara in turn.

While Amanda who saw anger on the handsome face of the eldest son, could only swallow his saliva.

Although she is the mother of Raka, Amanda's body trembles in fear if it is stared at like that.

“Mommy dare slap Kingdom?” asked Raka in disbelief.

There's no word from either Amanda or Clara. They both fell silent.

“Then where is it now?”

Amanda snorted violently, rolled her eyeballs, and shrugged her shoulders.

“Yes where Mommy knows. After all why the hell do you always think of Raya, Raya, and Raya?” said Amanda in a voice raised by an octave.

Amanda's eyes are slipping. Failing already he subtly persuades Raka to get engaged to Clara.

It seemed like this time he had to put on a rude manner on his son.

“Tante and also Raka, we should immediately eat yuk. Clara is already hungry,” Clara said she intended to end the heated debate.

Without saying a word, Raka rushed out of the apartment. He doesn't care about Amanda and Clara yelling back.

Raka walked half-run towards her car. He has to find Raya, and he has to see you. Even though he didn't know where the girl was right now.

When Raka started the car engine, her eyes caught a flat object lying on the driver's side seat.

“This is a wallet owned by Mr. Balin,” muttered Raka while reaching out and researching the wallet in his hand.

“Master Balin has not realized his wallet is left in my car.”

Raka took a deep breath. He decided to return Mr. Balin's wallet first. After that, he will look for the Kingdom.

There was a sound of a brake when a car stopped in the front yard of Mahendra's family home.

Ken went down first to open the back door from which Kirana appeared, set foot straight, and walked quickly towards the door of the house.

On the terrace, there happened to be Juan, the butler. The man nodded in salute to Kirana.

“Pak Juan, is Papa home?” Kirana asked after returning a nod.

“Already, Miss. Mr. Balin is also waiting for the arrival of Miss Kirana in the living room.”

“Good, thank you, Mr. Juan.”

Juan shifted his body to make room for Kirana who was about to enter the house.
