The Secretary For Life

Don't Expect More

Doni, secretary Harsa confused looking for the whereabouts of Harsa, after meeting his boss was straight out. He tried several times to contact Harsa's cell phone, but was not picked up. Finally Doni decided to go back to the office without Harsa. As he was walking, from a distance he saw Harsa sitting on the floor with her head resting on her knees bent. Doni came straight to Harsa.

" Mister Harsa, are you okay?" Doni asked, making Harsa lift her head.

" It's time we go back to the company, sir," said Doni again. Harsa immediately got up and immediately left the place.

In the car, Harsa still keeps thinking about Azzura. Azzura is the woman he loves the most, the woman he really wants to be his life partner with. But because of his helplessness, it must be dashed.

" The secret was that incident. Don't let Dita and her papa know" Harsa told Doni.

" Okay, Mister." Reply Doni while looking at his boss from the rearview mirror, Doni feels sorry for his boss, he looks very ruined.

Meanwhile, Devan, Azzura and Martin have just arrived at a restaurant for lunch. After choosing a seat, they immediately ordered the food they wanted.

" I'm going to the toilet for a while" Azzura said as they waited for the food.

" Do you need Devan's company, Miss Zura?" Martin LEDEK.

" No thanks" Azzura said, leaving them.

" I like your style, it's really cool" Martin told Devan, holding up his two thumbs.

" When you say "I'm sorry Mr. Harsa, is my wife too attractive to you? So that makes you focus more on him than on the presentation my assistant delivered." Martin mimicked what Devan told Harsa at the meeting.

" Not to mention, when you approached Miss Zura, and gave Mr. Harsa a warning, uhhhhh cool," said Martin again, but Devan chose to ignore it.

" It looks like you're starting to like it" Martin said.

" Don't be reckless, I don't like it at all and will never like it. I did that just because I didn't want any more cheap gossip, so don't get me wrong" Devan replied.

" Liking doesn't matter, she's also your wife. So it's legitimate, which is the problem if you like people's wives" Martin replied.

" Don't because of your past lie to yourself, not all women are the same as that woman" Martin said.

" I didn't lie to myself, because I didn't like it. It's better not to talk about it again" Devan replied.

A moment later their ordered food came, along with the arrival of Azzura. The three of them immediately enjoyed it. After that, they went straight back to the office.

Office hours are over, Devan, Azzura is ready to go home and Martin is ready.

" I'll see you first, see you tomorrow" Martin told Devan and Azzura. Since Devan and Azzura married, Martin has never left or returned with Devan again.

Devan and Azzura also left the office.

In the car the silence, the two people in it are equally dissolved in their own minds. Devan is confused by his feelings. Azzura was currently recalling the incident in the restaurant.

Having just arrived at the restaurant, Azzura felt there was a call of nature, and required him to go to the toilet immediately. While on the toilet, Azzura recalled the incident when he met Harsa earlier. But this time it was not Harsa who disturbed his mind, but Devan's attitude. She did not expect Devan would do such a thing to protect her from Harsa. Remembering that made Azzura's cheeks meet.

" I have to thank Devan" Azzura told herself, she immediately returned to the table where Devan and Martin were.

As Azzura was about to approach them, he faintly heard Devan and Martin discussing the incident earlier.

" Don't be reckless, I don't like it at all and will never like it. I did that just because I didn't want any more cheap gossip, so don't get me wrong" Devan said at the time, inexplicably making Azzura sad. It turns out that the thing Devan did was only limited to maintaining Devan's good name, nothing more.

" Your mind is too far away Zura, you heard yourself what Devan said just now, right? He did that just to keep his good name no more, so never expect more, self-conscious Zura, who are you then?"Azzura said to himself.

Flashback off

" Thank you for that, Dev," said Azzura.

" No problem, I did it just because I didn't want any more cheap gossip. So I hope you can take care of your attitude, you're not the Azzura who's free to do anything like you used to. A lot of eyes are watching you right now" Devan replied.

The atmosphere was quiet again, the two chose not to talk to each other, until they finally got home. Azzura went straight into his room, as did Devan.

***

Azzura and Devan's marriage lasted less than a month. Nothing is different from the relationship between the two, they still live their lives. One thing was different, Azzura's feeling towards Devan, when she was close to him, her heart seemed to jump out. Throughout the night Azzura also kept thinking about Devan, it seemed like Azzura was starting to like Devan. I don't know when that feeling was ever since I didn't know. However Azzura chose to harbor her, she was self-conscious of who she was.

" Zura, tonight mom will stay over" Devan said in the car.

" What? Then what about us?" Ask Azzura.

" Yes by force, we should sleep one room, rather than the suspicious mama," Devan replied.

" Calm down, I won't do anything to you" Devan said.

" If you want anything, it doesn't matter" said Azzura Lirih.

" What are you saying?" Ask Devan.

" Nothing," Azzura replied misbehaving.

Devan refocused on driving the car, a moment later they reached home. Devan and Azzura can see that his mother's car is already in his yard, it's a sign that the owner has come.

" Sister Devan, Brother Zura," said Celine, Devan's younger sister, alternately hugging her brother and sister-in-law.

" You coming?" Ask Devan.

" According to brother?" Reply Celine.

" Don't tell me you mind if I come here, relax I won't bother you guys" Celine said.

" Devan, Zura, you've come home as it turns out," Mama Annete appeared from behind, Devan and Azzura immediately greeted and kissed the back of Mama Annete's hand.

" Mama how are you?" Ask Azzura.

" Thank God dear," replied Mama Annete.

" Ma, it seems like Brother Devan objected that we stay here," said Celine deliberately pranking her brother.

" Fear of being disturbed" Celine said.

" No Ma, we don't mind at all. Zura even happy if you guys menginaap here," said Azzura.

" Thank God, then."

" Yes Ma, we went to the room first to take a bath, sultry," said Devan.

" Bath or bathe," Celine returns to teasing her sister.

" Celine," Mama Annete warned.

" Yes sorry," Celine replied.

" Yes there, you guys clean up first" said Annete's mama, Devan and Azzura rushing to leave them.
