The Secret of the Secretary

Chapter 43

After changing clothes and washing his face, Rania who was tired both physically and his soul fell asleep immediately while holding a letter from the mother. He felt his heart was not ready to be surprised by anything else because today there are many surprises in his life.

While someone worried about her could not close her eyes, she still continued to try to call Rania's number. But his hope was in vain because the one who answered his call was still the phone operator faithfully. Finally he tried to close his eyes hoping that tomorrow he would get an answer to Rania's presence.

In the morning after finishing breakfast they were ready to visit the last resting place of Ms. Rania. Because of the considerable distance, Atma's mother had contacted her eldest son to take them away.

"Because Bibi can't contact you or your father, Bibi took the initiative to bury your mother in her birthplace which is also Aunt's hometown" Atma's mother explained "Aunty apologizes if this is not what you want, maybe later if you want to move it to where your family just tell Auntie later will help Auntie" he continued.

"Auntie doesn't need to apologize for that, honestly Nia is very grateful because Mom has a friend like Aunt who cares so much about her. Nia also did not intend to move Mother anywhere, because Nia believes Mother must be happy to return and rest in her homeland" replied Nia who indirectly thanked Mother Atma.

Atma's mother just smiled while holding Rania's cold hand. Along the way he continued to hold the tiny hand as if he wanted to channel power to Rania.

After traveling for about an hour, they arrived at a public cemetery that looks neat and well maintained. They also walked through several tombstones until they arrived at a tombstone bearing the name 'Yanti Atmaja' which is the name of the birth mother of Rania.

As soon as he saw his mother's grave, Rania could not hold the weight of his body again until he sat down while holding his mother's tombstone and cried sobbing sobs.

"Mothers... Mothers... Mothers... Sorry Rania just came" Nia said in her tears.

"We should first clean the tomb of your mother Nia, then we teach and send prayers for the deceased" Ibu Wati also tried to invite Rania to think rationally.

They also cleaned the grass and leaves that covered the tomb. Afterwards they sprinkled flowers and rose water over the tomb. Rania also placed a bouquet of flowers near the mother's tombstone. They also began to teach Surah yasin and offer prayers for the peace of the deceased at His side.

"Why didn't Mom ever want to share your suffering with me? Why do you endure everything alone? If I had known the truth I wouldn't have left you Mother? We will fight together because for me you are the perfect man. An angel without wings" Rania said inwardly as she sobbed trying to hold back her cries.

After an hour there, they left the tomb. Although it was hard for Rania to leave the funeral because she wanted to be with her mother to share their grief, but Rania believes that her mother has been peaceful and happy in nature so she must be strong for the sake of the Mother. He went by even though he sometimes looked back.

"Well Mom we say goodbye first, Thank you for the Mother's banquet to me, sorry if I am troublesome" Atma said goodbye to the owner of the parlour. "Auntie hope you are strong Nia, because this has all been destiny for you. Play occasionally to Aunt's house, do not hesitate to contact Aunt whenever you want to tell a story or occasionally give news to Aunt" he continued, handing over a piece of paper containing her address and mobile number.

"No need to thank Mom we are now like brothers, often play here because this door is always open for Mom to visit at any time" said Ibu Wati to the friend of Ibu Rania.

"Okay Bi, I'll call you often. Aunt also do not hesitate to contact me" said Rania while hugging Atma's mother.

Atma's mother just smiled and returned Rania's embrace warmly. Finally, after saying goodbye, Atma returned home with her eldest son. Rania goes back into the orphanage with her foster mother.

"You okay leaving work today?" ask Ms. Wati to Rania.

"Geez Mom, I forgot that today is not the weekend!" rania exclaimed and immediately ran towards her room.

Wati's mother can only shake her head to see the behavior of her foster children.

Upon arriving in the room, Rania rushed to find a cellphone and charger in her bag. Then just directly he put his charger into the electrical panel and immediately charge his phone.

"Geez, how could I forget to charge my phone. Can I get SP 1 because I did not go to work without telling my boss. Where from yesterday I didn't tell you" Rania muttered as she massaged her temple.

After waiting for a while, he tried to turn on his phone. He was very surprised when so many calls and messages sent only by one contact, the 'CEO of the Tiger'.

📱 'Why do you go during business hours?''

📱 'Why is your phone turned off?'

📱 'Why don't you call me back?'

📱 'What really happened to you? '

📱 'Where are you now?'

📱 'Are you happy to make me worry like this? '

📱 'Quick call me now! '

📱 'Stop playing games like this! '

📱 'Why don't you come in today?'

📱 'Why are you doing this to me?'

📱 'I beg to contact me'

📱 'Please contact me immediately'

📱 'I'm really worried about you'

📱 'Please.....'

Such were some of the contents of the message from Vero that implied his desperation for not getting news from Rania, not to mention dozens of missed phone calls.

"Oh my goodness..Why are so many calls and messages from him? I can finish my scolding" muttered Rania while dialing the Boss number.

Tuout... Tuout... Tuout...

"How's this? Why did my call ignore him? Could he be busy meeting? I'd better send a message now, later on during lunch break I'll try to call her back" Rania told herself.

...❁ ❁ ❁ ❁ ❁ ❁...

Drr...Drr...Drr...

Trings...

The sign of a call and incoming message on a smart phone that was accidentally left on the work desk of the owner. This is because he threw the phone carelessly because he was upset that he could not contact someone who made him worry and could not close his eyes in the slightest.
