The Secretary For Life

Strong Woman

Devan's car arrived at the beach. Yes indeed Devan deliberately invited Azzura to the place, hoping that Azzura's feelings could improve a little.

" beach?" Azzura asked Devan.

" Why did you bring me here?" Ask Azzura again.

" Yes maybe by coming here, your feelings can be better" Devan replied.

" I'm fine Sir, you shouldn't have to bother like this" Azzura said.

" Once it is, we better get down, we've come this far. At least enjoy the atmosphere of this beach," said Devan while getting out of his car, followed by Azzura.

They sat on the shore, on the white sand. The atmosphere looked silent only the sound of the waves being heard.

" I'm sorry, if I hadn't forced you to accompany me to the show, you wouldn't have been like this" Devan said.

" Huuuhhhh, I thank you, sir. Because of you now I know who Harsa is." Azzura said without turning his head in the direction of his interlocutor, his eyes still looking straight at the ocean.

" Are you not sad?" Devan asked, he was astonished because since then there had not been a single drop of tears coming out of Azzura's eyes.

" Sad, of course. We've been in a relationship for a long time, 5 years. Promise to be loyal to each other, but it's a traitor I got, right?"

" Why did you choose to leave without asking for an explanation? Maybe he had a reason."

" For what, everything I see is enough to explain my position."

" I salute you" said Devan.

" Why?"

" If it was another woman in your position, she must have cried immediately, even run over and destroy the party. But you didn't do it, let alone ruin the party, not a single tear fell from your eye."

" I'm not that kind of woman, sir, as sad as I am not the kind of person who can cry in front of others. I don't want to embarrass myself either."

" Harsa's parents didn't like me in the first place, because our classes were different. They're rich, and I'm just a regular guy. I know myself, I wanted to step down, free to maintain a relationship without the blessing of his parents. But he always convinced me to be patient, he told me that one day his parents would approve of our relationship. And stupidly I believe that," said Azzura recalled his meeting with Harsa's parents a few years ago. He still remembered how Harsa's parents insulted him at that time just because they were not at the same level, and considered Azzura only wanted Harsa's treasure.

" I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said this to you" Azzura said as she realized what she was saying.

" It doesn't matter if it can make you a little relieved." Reply Devan.

" Ckckk. Why are there still such narrow-minded people? They thought the treasure was all her," Devan's inner fuming.

Both of them were silent again, dissolving in their respective minds.

" It is better that we go home, sir," said Azzura.

" Do you feel better?" Devan asked in a nod by Azzura.

" All right," said Devan standing up.

Devan Daan Azzura was already in the car. Devan focused on the streets with occasional glances towards Azzura, while Azzura chose to turn his gaze outside.

After a while they reached Azzura's house. Azzura got out of the car.

" Thank you, sir," said Azzura.

" Together, for the motorbike and your belongings tomorrow let it be brought to the office" said Devan.

" Yes, thank you again." Azzura then stepped in.

" Azzura!" Calling Devan made Azzura look back.

" It's tough not to never cry, so never be ashamed to cry, it's human, but don't overdo it" Devan said, for some reason he felt sad and also worried about what happened to Pad Azzura.

Azzura shook her head, trying to digest Devan's words, until a voice shocked her.

" father? Why aren't you asleep?" Azzura asked trying to act ordinary, she then approached her father.

" What else if you don't wait for you." Saying Father.

" Hehehe, forgive Zura."

" Yes, let's go in, it's night. Have you eaten, should I make you something?" Ask the father while holding his daughter's hand. Devan could see the father and son's interaction, and this made him even more salute to Azzura, she was truly a strong woman.

" That your son is going to a party, he will probably waste the good food that is there" Azzura said with a smile, the father laughed.

" Hahahaha, you're right, why can you forget?"

" U Factor is possible," Azzura replied.

" Factor U?"

" Yes, I'm old, heheheh."

" Therefore, you get married quickly" said the father, closing the door. Making Azzura sad again, what if his father knew that desire was impossible for him to realize in the near future. And what about the fate of Manda and Arga, because he must have their marriage also threatened to fail.

" Just pray well, let Zura get married quickly, yes Zura to the room first yes, already sleepy. Good night father," said Azzura hurried to leave his father, if too long with his father he was afraid the tears that he had been holding would spill.

The next day Azzura was ready to go to the office. The atmosphere of the house was deserted, it seemed like the entire family had already left. This made Azzura a little relieved, at least they would not see Azzura's extremely miserable condition at the moment. Azzura didn't sleep all night, she just kept crying it caused her eyes to drip.

Arriving at the office, Azzura immediately struggled with his work. Actually he is still lazy, but he just wants to be professional.

" Good morning, Miss Zura," said Martin, who was with Devan at the time.

" Morning Sir," said Azzura, looking down.

Devan went straight into the room, Martin also went straight to his desk. From inside the room, Devan continued to pay attention to Azzura, she was worried about the woman.

" Dev, you know what?" Said Martin who suddenly entered Devan's room.

" What?"

" The one who was engaged last night to Mr. Wijaya's daughter ....." Martin hasn't finished talking and is cut off by Devan.

" I already know." Reply Devan.

" Continue, Miss Zura already knows?" Martin asked in response to a nod by Devan.

" Oh my God, how do you go?" Ask Martin.

" How do you think?" Reply Devan.

" Must be her current feelings are very broken."

" That's for sure, we can see for ourselves how he's doing at the moment?" Devan said as he looked back at Azzura, as well as Martin.

" But I salute her, she's really a strong woman. If another woman who was in her position at that time, surely she would have cried even rampaged on the spot. But Azzura didn't do it."

" Don't let women, men can be locked up for days, while Miss Zura in her condition like this, she still works" said Martin.

" Are you insinuating me?" Devan asked while looking at Martin.

" No," replied Martin then opted out of Devan's room before something went wrong.
