The Secretary For Life

Betrayed

Devan drove his car at moderate speed, occasionally glancing at Azzura. Devan still did not expect the beautiful woman next to him was Azzura, a secretary who usually looks simple.

" Has your decision been unanimous, can't you think again?" Devan opened the conversation, making Azzura turn towards him.

" If what you ask is about my decision to refuse to marry you, then my answer is that the decision is already unanimous, I refuse" Azzura replied.

" I'll give you anything you want, if you agree."

" I'm sorry you offered that to another woman, because I wasn't interested. And if you want me to keep you with you at the party, stop talking about it again." Azzura.

" Shitt, how dare he say that to me. If it wasn't for this party I'd have dropped him off on the street, "in Devan.

The atmosphere was silent again, Devan chose silence, as well as Azzura.

A moment later, they arrived at the venue. The atmosphere was very crowded, many invited guests and also journalists who came. Azzura looked doubtful as he was about to get out of the car.

" Calm down, just assume they don't exist. You just pretend that I'm your lover" Devan said.

" Love?"

" Just at this party" Devan replied.

" But I'm afraid sir, I've never attended a party this big before" Azzura said.

" Now relax, take a slow breath, exhale, again..." Devan sets an example for Azzura, Azzura follows him.

" How, are you ready? Can we go down now?" Devan asked, replied a nod by Azzura.

Devan got out of his car first, then he turned around and opened the door for Azzura. Slowly Azzura came out, Devan holding Azzura's hand. All eyes were on the two of them, not to miss the reporters directly taking portraits of the two of them, this made Azzura uncomfortable.

" Look for them not to exist" whispered Devan in Azzura's ear as he continued walking into the party venue.

The two of them had just entered, at the same time Devan had to receive a call from his other business partner. He told Azzura to enter first. Azzura could only obey what Devan said. Slowly he stepped his foot inside, it seemed like the event had started a few minutes ago. It was heard that Mr. Wijaya and his wife were giving a welcome and also said thank you to the guests who came.

' Thank you to all of you who took the time to come to this event. And on this happy day, we will also hold the engagement of our only daughter Anandita Wijaya with Harsa Maulana.' Said Mr. Wijaya.

Azzura looked shocked to hear the name of her lover on the call. To make sure of it, Azzura chose to go over to dapan again. And how surprised he was by what he was about at that moment.

" Harsa?" Azzura lirih.

" Azzura?" Said a gentleman, as he saw the woman he knew was in that place.

Meanwhile, Azzura just shook to find her lover is now preparing to pair a ring on the ring finger of another woman, not her.

It felt like Azzura approached the man to ask for an explanation. But in the end he chose to leave. With half a run Azzura left the place. And suddenly brugh, Azzura hit someone.

" Azzura, where are you going? Didn't I tell you to wait inside?" Ask the person who collided with Azzura. That person was Devan, Azzura's boss.

" Eh, Sir sorry. But I don't think I can be in this place. I beg you to take me away from here" Azzura said, looking back. Her boyfriend tried to chase her.

" I beg you," Azzura said with a plea while pulling Devan's arm.

" What's really going on?"

" Is this related to that guy, do you know him?" Devan asked as his eyes turned towards Azzura's lover.

" Why do you ask so much, I will explain later. Ahh it's better that I go alone," said Azzura annoyed.

" Shitt, now you dare to yell at me? Did you forget who I was?" Instead of answering Azzura just left, because at this time his lover was getting closer.

" Azzura wait!" Devan said as he chased after Azzura.

In Devan's car

Now that Azzura could breathe a sigh of relief, he was finally able to leave the place.

" Now explain it to me" said Devan, breaking Azzura's daydream.

" You know that guy?" Devan asked again, because Azzura never answered.

Silent

" He's my lover, sir." Azzura said while looking down.

" Love? You mean she's the lover you were proud of yesterday? And now she's engaged to another woman?" Devan asked, Azzura just nodded.

" Hahahaha," Devan could not help but laugh.

" Just yesterday you were proud of him, and now he is.he ...hahaha," Devan laughed again.

" Is this funny to you, can't you sympathize a little? Ohh how can you sympathize, you do not have a heart," said Azzura annoyed. Devan stopped his laughter.

" Sorry," Devan said in the end, he shouldn't have laughed at Azzura.

Azzura just kept quiet, his heart really hurt. She did not expect that Harsa betrayed her. The loyal promise he once made was just nonsense. Harsa who always asked her to be patient, asked her to persevere, asked her to be faithful, in fact she herself who betrayed.

" Then how should I explain to Father and Mother, if the man they were expecting and they were waiting to propose to her daughter, is now engaged to another woman" Azzura said. Azzura's mind was completely muddled this time.

Every now and then Devan glanced at Azzura, without daring to ask anything. He let Azzura dissolve in his own thoughts. In his heart salute to see the stubbornness of Azzura, at a time like this the woman can not cry, but he knows for sure it hurts to be betrayed by our loved ones, he said, devan has experienced it too.

" Where are we going? This isn't the way home?" Azzura asked when he realized that it was not the path they should have been on.

" You've made me leave that party without meeting the one with the party, so you have to take responsibility. You have to accompany me somewhere" Devan replied.

" You should have let me go home by myself earlier," Devan said.

" I'm just following you, didn't you just ask me to take you away from that place?" Devan said, Azzura just kept quiet, he was lazy to argue. It's true what Devan just said.

Azzura's mind wandered back, recalling the sweet promises Harsa had told him.

" It turns out true, faithful is about who survives, not who promises," said Azzura Lirih, making Devan who was focusing on driving his car, turning towards Azzura.
