30 DAYS WITH U
52. SECRET LOVER 4

“Did you hear well my story?” asked the Great Sir while looking at Keila who was looking at the sky above him. 

“I heard it, Sir. Everything he does is for me.” 

“Then,” Mr. Agung then hit Keila on the shoulder and made Keila stop staring at the sky above her. “Do you also realize that all this time your secret fan has appeared several times before you?? It's just. . . You don't realize it.” 

Keila lowered her gaze and then looked towards the Great Sir with an astonished look. “Is that true, sir? Andra appeared a few times in front of me and I didn't recognize her?? Sorry, Mister. Looks like. . . I didn't hear that part.” 

The Great Sir then repeated Andra's words. “After repeatedly trying, Keila never realized my whereabouts. Didn't you say you listened well??” Mr. Agung then hit Keila on the head a little tight. 

“Auwwww. .” Keila grimaced receiving a punch on her head. “Why did you hit me??” 

“Let you be aware of your bad habits. The habit of wearing earphones when you go home, the habit of being too indifferent, and your habit of not caring about the people around you even though you do not cooperate with them. From now on fix that attitude of yours, Key.” 

“Ah, fine. I will do it, Sir,” Keila replied still by holding the part of her head that received a blow from Mr. Agung. 

“If you don't do it, I'll hit your head like this again.” The Great sir posed a clear threat to Keila. 

“I said I understand, Sir.” Keila shifted her seat to further away from Pak Agung so that she could avoid if at any time Mr. Agung intends to hit her head again. Keila then tried to distract Mr. Agung by showing his watch which showed at one noon where the lunch hour had ended. “It's one o'clock in the afternoon, sir. We have to get back to work, Mr.” 

“I know, Key. I can see it with both of my eyes,” said Mr. Agung who then got up from his seat and led the way back to the third floor where the editing department is located.

Meanwhile Keila who was behind Mr. Agung then rose also from his seat and was about to follow in the footsteps of Mr. Agung. A gust of wind made Keila stop her steps for a moment and look towards the wind. While gazing at the cityscape, Keila spoke to herself in her mind. Where are you, Andra? I have a lot of questions I want to ask you. You owe me an explanation, you owe me to bear my annoyance, my anger and lastly, my longing. I've only been through one day without you and I've missed you so much. Did you know time goes so slow without you? 

Keila sighed as she felt the wind on her face. Huft. How have you gone through your days in the dark shadows without being able to express your longing and love for me? How did you get through your days with just a secret fan status that probably won't get anything in return? How do you do it, Andra?

As soon as the working hours ended, Keila who already had many questions in her mind then made a decision. I have to meet Andra. I had to meet him and listen to all the explanations from him. I won't be mad at him anymore and will listen well. 

“Kak Key??” call Irene. 

“Ya?” asked Keila who was getting ready with her bag. 

“Come home.” 

Keila shook her head. “I won't go home with you. I have to go to the eighth floor to meet Andra.” 

Suci and Nuri who heard the word “Andra” came out of Keila's mouth then made the same sound. “Ihiiiiiiiirrrrrrr, Brother Keyyy.” 

Keila and Irene who heard the sound of Suci and Nuri were quite loud then made the same movement: put the index finger on the lips and then make the same sound, “Ssssttttttttt.” 

“. . . Can you guys downplay your voices??” added Keila as she glanced to her right and left making sure no one heard the voice made by Saints and Nuri just now. 

“Ah, sorry,” said Nuri who also turned her head to the right and to the left following Keila. 

“Sorry, Brother. I'm just happy to see Brother not calling him director but a name that was never even mentioned when in the company,” said Suci who was happy.

“I have to meet Andra. Since yesterday he has not contacted me when he promised to meet me to give an explanation.” 

“Maybe the Director is busy, Brother,” said Nuri. 

“Yes, Brother. Maybe the Director is busy,” added Suci.

“Yes, I know if he's busy. But since yesterday he has not returned to his apartment. Therefore I feel worried and forced, I have to meet him at the company even though Andra is a Director at the company where I work,” Keila replied. “So sorry I won't be down together with you guys.” 

“We understand, Sister,” Nuri said with a smile on her lips that was happy to see the relationship between Keila and her idol – Director Rafandra.

“So don't mind us,” added Suci who also made a smile on her lips. “We won't die just because Brother didn't come home with us.” 

“Hopefully Big Brother can meet with Big Brother soon and solve Big Brother's problem,” added Irene who cheered Keila. 

“Thank you all,” said Keila who then carried her bag and ran towards the elevator. 

Unlike the three colleagues who were about to go down to the first floor, Keila actually pressed the button to the eighth floor – where the room Andra was located. After five minutes of waiting Keila was then already on the eighth floor. 

“Huft. .” Keila exhaled a small breath before steadying her steps to walk into the room where Andra was working. Don't mind anyone else, Keila! This time you have to meet up with Andra to answer all the questions that have come to your mind since yesterday. After Andra who tried so hard to chase you all this time, it is now your turn to equalize your steps with her. 

After talking to herself and giving confidence to herself, Keila then began to step foot boldly to meet Andra. 

“There can I help you with, Miss Keila?” 

Keila who arrived in Andra's room was then greeted by Baron - one of Andra's assistants. Keila heaved a sigh of relief because the Baron still remembered her. “It's nice if you still remember me.” 

The little smiling baron heard Keila's words. “Of course I still remember well yesterday's incident, Miss Keila. Yesterday's incident was really excited, Miss and I are included in it.”

Right too. . What did I just say?? It must be because I'm too nervous. Keila set her breath again before asking the Baron. “I-it. . Can I meet with Director Rafandra??” 

Baron's brows furrowed and nearly connected to each other hearing Keila's question that had just been posed to him. The baron then turned to ask Keila a question. “Nona don't know??” 

“What should I know??” asked Keila who was also as good as the Baron because she saw the reaction of the Baron. 

“Directors take a week-long leave. Something happened to the President who was none other than the father of the Director. Because of that last night after the meeting, the Director along with Liam immediately left,” explained Baron. “Did the Director not tell this to Miss??” 

“A-I don't know. Her phone all day I could not call, so I dared to come here,” Keila replied with a little shame. 

The baron who caught Keila's embarrassed face from feeling like a bad lover, then smiled and comforted Keila. “This is the habit of the Director, if something happens with the President. You could say the President is a pretty difficult person, until when something happens, the Director really does not have time to use his phone.” 

After Keila gathered her courage to come to meet Andra, Keila returned empty-handed. On the way home, Keila was busy with her own thoughts and thoughts: blaming herself. It was like. . I was a bad lover. I don't even know if Andra took a leave of absence because of something that befell her father. Do I deserve to be Andra's lover? What exactly do you like about me, Andra? I feel that you are too kind to me, like an angel who descends from the sky only for me who is an ordinary human being.
