The Secret of the Secretary
Chapter 72
"Rania! Since when have you been there?" asked Figo who was surprised when he saw her.
"It's been a while to accidentally hear your talk sir" said Rania coldly.
"Emmmmm... I can explain everything" Figo said as he held the back of his nape awkwardly.
"Please, I'm waiting for you" said Rania while holding her arm.
Mama Figo held her child's arm and gave the code by shaking her head. But Figo just gave a smile and took off his mother's hand.
"We better sit first" said Figo took his mother and Rania sat in a long chair in the hallway.
"Look Rania. Before your father got into jail, he and my Papa had an accident when they were going to meet with investors for their company merger. But unfortunately the accident caused one person to die on the spot and other family members experienced a fairly serious condition. Because the deceased was a well-known businessman, their family demanded that the perpetrator be punished severely. So the article that was placed on your father was about negligence that caused the loss of one's life. Papa at that time had given the best legal team to help your father finish the trial, so that your father's sentence was thirteen years in prison from the previous twenty years in prison. During your father's time in prison, Papa not only kept silent but he kept trying to get the company to rise again by looking for investors even out of the country. Papa promised your father to give his shares and dividends to his daughter when the time came" Figo explained.
"Then why do you feel guilty for my father?" rania asked curiously about the words Figo had heard earlier.
The surprised Mama Claudia immediately held her son's hand so as not to tell the truth they were hiding. Figo just looked into the eyes of his mother who begged him not to talk about things that would harm them later.
"I just feel guilty for never really looking for you Rania" Figo said, bowing. Claudia was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief at her son's reply.
I'm sorry that Rania had to keep this secret for my mom's sake, I don't want her to get hurt, Figo's inner self.
"But since I have now found you, I will immediately contact the company's legal team to discuss the procedure for handing over shares to you. Maybe the process is a bit complicated, but I hope you understand" Figo said again.
"Well sir if it should be like that, I will wait for news from Mister" replied Rania. "When I'm done can I see my father now?" ask Rania while standing up.
"Please" Figo replied with a smile.
Until when do I have to bear this burden Papa?, Figo's inner self at the sight of Rania's back disappearing behind the door of her father's nursery.

After she finished visiting her father, Rania took the initiative to call Vero so they could go home together. Because when he left Ale's treatment room, the lover was still there busy with his laptop taking care of the pending work.
Tuout... Tuout... Tuout... Tuout... Tuout...
"Unlike usual this sister? He always picks up my phone on the third ring, and sometimes he even calls me first?" rania muttered in surprise while staring at her phone.
He tried to call several times, but there was no answer.
"Maybe my sister is busy with her work, I better try to send her a message" Rania thought still positive even though she still felt astonished.
📲 'Why is my phone not answered brother? I'm done looking at you, do you want to come home with me?', Rania
Vero who received the message also directly incised his temple with his eyes closed. He had deliberately ignored calls from Rania, but apparently the girl still tried to contact him through a short message green application.
📲 'Sorry I'm busy with office work, you just go home with Jeff later I call him to pick you up at the hospital', Vero
📲 'No need brother, I don't want to trouble anyone. I'll take a cab online, Rania
Vero simply read the message and sighed violently. He rested his head on the back of the chair and he closed his eyes, feeling his heart wavering over how he was taking his attitude towards Rania.
I'm sorry, Rania, I still love you. Because to me you are my first and last love. You were my encouragement when I was tired of learning all about the company. But why should your father be a hindrance to us? I have not been able to forgive the man who killed Papi and kept my family apart for years. Why is this fate playing tricks on both of us? I can't let you go, but I can't forgive your father, too, Vero's indecisive mind.
Without realizing Vero that all his movements were noticed by his sister. The princess felt that her brother was having a severe problem that was weighing on her. He believes it is not a matter of work because for his genius brother it is easy and he is also accompanied by assistants and other professional people. The princess was convinced that the matter had something to do with her best friend. Because when they were in her room the atmosphere felt cold, her brother even seemed to shy away from Nia even to look at her eyes.
...❁ ❁ ❁ ❁ ❁ ❁...
Finally Rania went home by ordering a taxi online, because he did not want to make Jeff's assistant go back and forth just to pick him up. Along the way, he thought about Vero's cold attitude toward him. Do not call or reply to messages, to say hello just like he was reluctant. Incidentally in the taxi singing a song that seems right to describe his heart now. A song by Prinsa Mandagie - Friend of the Past, although he believes that Vero is unlikely to do as implied in the song.
What am I wrong? Why did you suddenly change attitude like this, even his attitude was colder than when he became CEO of Tiger. I wanted to ask him directly but what if he I was reluctant to look at me directly, his inner being while sighing and staring pus outwards.
