The Secret of the CEO and his Secretary
Chapter 8
POV Keanu
Nightfall... Me and my family were having dinner, in the middle of our meal I talked to my father to chat for a while after eating or before going to bed.
“Dad, I want to talk about my life issues.” I began the conversation with a little nervousness for fear that my father would oppose this decision.
“What's the matter? speak!” My father still talks as usual.
“Yes, I agreed to a mother's request to marry her daughter.” I'll be ready if you curse me, for not thinking about it.
“What, you willingly agree to his request. Did you forget your grandfather once promised the parents of a daughter, to marry you to his daughter.” I forgot about the deal you mentioned when I agreed to Almira's mother's request.
“Dad, I already promised the mother, let alone she was already deceased. So, please father and mother my blessing to marry the mother's child.” Will you approve my decision? Mommy will always support me but dad.
“Father is not likely to approve your marriage with the woman, because I do not want later women who have become candidates for your wife first, sue this family if you do not marry her.” I guess Dad wouldn't approve. What am I supposed to do?
“Dad, I will find a better young man for the woman I have been betrothed to. If I meet him who is still single.” Is my word wrong or right this time?
“If it's your decision, I approve if you want to marry the woman you want to marry.” Thank God, my efforts to get the blessing of my father have been done. Now I just have to prepare for my wedding with Almira.
“If mommy, do you approve of the wedding I want to plan?” Now I just have to question my mother, even though I have seen from her eyes no anger of rejection.
“Son, mom will always support you whatever you want to do, as long as it's good for you.”
“Still mother.” I feel relieved, for this I have fulfilled.
“You sleep there now! afraid tomorrow you go to the office.” My mother did not scold me, but instead told me to sleep.
“Siap Mommy, then I go to the room first.” Mother nodded and smiled.

In the morning, in Bagaskara's office...
“Al, can come here first I want to chat with you.” Keanu spoke to Almira on the phone.
“Wait a moment, sir.” Reply Almira on the phone.
Almira walks into her boss's room, after which Almira sits in the chair before the CEO's desk. “What father call me.”
“I want to talk about the wedding you want your late mother.”
“Father really wants to accept my mother's request, Are you sure of the decision you made?” Almira seemed unsure of Keanu's words.
“I'm sure, moreover I've asked for the blessing of both my parents.” Keanu
“Do your parents approve of it? I do not want yes, sir, my self-esteem in the stampede because I am different levels with the family of father.” Almira said with a little disappointed at Keanu's decision and worried that if he married her he would be in gossip, in slander and so forth.
Just think long enough Almira keeps thinking about Keanu's offers, to keep the wedding a secret if it's the best.
“I received a father's offer, to keep our marriage a secret later. And I want to keep working here to avoid the suspicion of my office friends.” Almira asks Keanu for a wish.
“I agree, if that's what you want. Al, ten o'clock we have a meeting, all employees ask to come to the meeting room.”
“Ok, sir, I will tell all employees. Then excuse me to come out first.” Keanu nodded and invited Almira to come out of his room.
Almira returned to her room, and after that Almira told the announcement via the microphone on her desk. “Announcement... Announcements... All employees must be present in the meeting room at ten. That's all I want to say, thank you.”
At ten, all the employees gathered in the meeting room. To discuss work issues, one by one the employee gave his presentation. Everything the employees talk about will be heard by Keanu, all will be reconsidered.
Because this presentation will be offered to the tender who will work with Bagaskara company. Although Bagaskara company has been famous in this city, Keanu still wants to hear the opinions of his employees.
The meeting was completed, after which all employees of the Muslim faith headed to the mosque to fulfill their obligations. The meeting was completed in time for lunch, there were also employees who ate lunch in the office cafeteria.
Almira and Nabila have different beliefs, so Nabila first had lunch while Almira fulfilled her obligations first. After the prayer Almira followed his best friend for lunch together.
“Al, I've taken food for lo.”
“Still, Bil.”
“Same, uh but you like it? the food I put on your plate, Al.” Nabila spoke to Almira with your call or lo, because it was his habit.
“I love it, why do you, Bil, how to say it. Though we have been long-standing, I like the food you take for me as long as it is halal to eat for me.” Almira ate his food
“Sorry, maybe because I have more thoughts.” Almira stopped eating and put her spoon on the plate.
“What else do you think, Bil, same story me. I will definitely keep your secret.” Almira looked at Nabila seriously.
“Let me tell you after I get home from work, I'm back to work first, Al.” Nabila looks gloomy when talking, Nabila also avoids when Almira asks herself to tell a story.
‘Nabila why yes? What problems are in the pendamnya. Why did he avoid me when he wanted me to hear his story.’ Almira murmured in the heart.
Almira quickly finished her food, she wanted to quickly go home too because she wanted to hear the story of Nabila's problem that had been in her dorm.
In the afternoon at five o'clock in the afternoon, one by one the employees went home each. Almira who was doing her job who stayed a little more quickly worked, so that she quickly went home.
Ting... Ringtone sound for incoming messages.
(Al, I want to meet you at the Missing Room cafe, eight o'clock at night)
(Wait for me, Bil, maybe I'm late because I'm still working)
(Ok)
