With a step full of authority, Danu entered the office building where he worked, his right hand carrying a bag containing important documents belonging to the company he led.
Some employees looked down kindly to the boss who came a little late.
"Ra made me tea" he said as he passed the secretary's desk.
"Alright sir" Rara stared in wonder at her superior's back before disappearing into the door.
"Tumben, not as cold as usual" muttered Rara and then stepped foot into the pantry.
"This is the tea sir"
"Hmm, thanks to Ra" Danu said, staying focused on the fourteen-inch wide screen complete with fingers dancing on the keybord.
Rara put the cup on the table with great care, her eyes did not stop glancing at her boss who seemed busy struggling in front of the laptop.
"He looks so happy and handsome today, did he run out of winning the lottery?"
Danu stopped her finger when she noticed Rara's gaze.
"Oh my God, why does it make me want to faint?"
Looking at his lamentable secretary, Danu shook his head slowly, his secretary, always acting strangely in front of him.
"Ra, next month I'll raise your salary"
Hearing her boss's words, Rara gasped. "What sir? raise pay? mr serious?" The girl throws a barrage of questions with a happy highlight.
"But from tomorrow, condition your clothes, buy clothes that are slightly covered, at least to cover your chest, and wear a skirt under your knees. If you're still dressed like that, you'll fire me" he said and then refocused on the monitor. "I don't want any sexual harassment cases in my company" Danu said.
Rara flinched as she stared fixedly at her superior, digesting her speech well. What he caught, was the misunderstanding he caught.
"You can get out Ra" Danu ordered while Rara was still standing next to the genius table.
"I-yes sir, I'm sorry"
"Hm"
Slowly Rara stepped out of the room, then quickly headed towards the pantry to put her tray back there.
"Did Mr Danu start falling in love with me?, and slowly lead me to be better? That's absolutely right. Like the lectures I've heard, a man would definitely not like to see a woman he loves flaunt his aura. Today Mr. Danu raised my salary, is there any chance that he will one day support me?" he thought without hesitation. He went back to his desk and sat down. Again he daydreams about Danu's words.
"I don't want any sexual harassment cases in my company"
"Well, sir Danu doesn't like me to be scantily dressed because I don't want my body to be seen by anyone other than him?"
"Kriyingg, the sound of the phone rippling Rara's daydream, the call from Danu made her flinch in shock, the next second smiling excitedly.
"Yes sir"
"Ra, set the meeting hours right now with the general manager, the finance director, and the warehouse adm, there's a little problem about the record in and out of goods, and reconciliation"
"Well sir" answered Rara and then disconnected the connection "Ahh sir Danu, why today you are so sweet, not as sniffy as usual"
The door cut made Rara jump.
"Ra, I'm waiting in the meeting room" Danu said, then swung her legs towards the elevator.
"Okay sir" Mr. Danu, have you started falling in love with me sir?" thinges.
**********
The time is getting late, spending eight hours a day in the office is a natural thing for employees. Interaction and communication is certainly happening while working, be it with superiors or other colleagues.
Before going home, Danu sends a message to his wife to get ready because she will soon pick him up. Danu brought with him the Ring and Kennan's DNA paper. I can't wait to see him and resolve the misunderstanding between them.
A car that is first silent, then moves when the gas is stepped on, then the speed is slowly accelerated until the car is sauntered away from the parking area.
"Assalamu'alaikum" Danu stepped into her in-laws' house.
"Wa'alaikumsalam" Nina answered from behind the room and rushed out to meet Danu.
"Nin, where are Kennan and the others?" danu asked, the net scanned through the entire room.
"Umi took her to the supermarket" Danu said only with ber oh ria.
"Mas we better talk here, let's go to the gazebo behind the house"
And then he obeyed Nina's invitation, then walked behind her towards a small pendopo measuring three square meters.
Danu sat down with her legs crossed right in front of Nina who was sitting together.
"Who will speak first?" ask Danu while holding a sitting position.
Nina rubbed the clear circle that suddenly stuck to her forehead, with a downcast look, she started to open her mouth.
"I'm sorry I left ml mas" he said slowly.
"I'm the one who apologized for hurting you" Danu said.
After nearly ten seconds, Danu moved to grab a piece of paper that he kept in his pants pocket. "Can you explain what's written here Nin?" Danu shifted the paper in front of Nina.
A split second, nervousness approached Nina as her pair of neutrals caught a piece of writing that left her dumbfounded.
"How can Kennan be my flesh and blood, when I have never touched you?"
Instantly Nina raised her head staring in the eyeballs of Danu who was also looking at her. He swallowed his saliva, trying to normalize his increasingly hunting heartbeat. His mouth seemed to be locked, the words he had already strung together instantly froze out of nowhere.
A second later Danu took out a ring from his shirt pocket.
"Is this yours?" Danu grabbed Nina's hand, then placed the ring on her cold palm. Nina stared at the ring that Danu had given Nesa, as soon as she remembered throwing the ring in her room.
"Sorry mas" Nina lowered her head, that was all she could say.
"I've known for a long time about Nesa, and I only found out about Kennan this morning" Danu paused his words, he took a deep breath and let out slowly. "I won't ask why you did that"
"I'm sorry, I don't know how to get your attention, back then, I always imagined you having a relationship with another woman, and then the idea just popped into my head" he said almost without pause. "sorry"
"Why apologize, I don't even know what your mistake was. Your lies made me realize what you really meant to me. I can't imagine, if Nesa wasn't you, my sins would have multiplied, Nesa was a rebuke to me, and I thank you"
For a moment they were silent....
"Sorry Nin, I've hurt you so much, I should have realized your existence long ago. And I, regretting my relationship with Nesa, even though Nesa was you, I really regretted it, my life was a mess without you Nina"
"Now that we know everything, if we want to take Kennan, we can do it, we are also entitled to Kennan"
"What do you mean? Our Kennan Nin, we'll always be with him"
"I can't mas, let's get divorced"
Danu looked at the sad face of his woman, The rhythm of his heart was getting worse, cold sweat suddenly appeared, trembling and limp began to grin his body, he did not believe what the wife said.
"You want us to get divorced?" Ask Danu.
Nina nodded.
"Why?" ask again as intimidating.
"Your sweet words to Nesa are always in my ears"
"I've told you I regret it" Danu quick-witted.
"But it's not that easy to forget. Mas remembered, how persistent mas chose Nesa in front of papa and mama, even willing to live poor for the sake of Nesa. Just imagine if Nesa wasn't me, I would have gotten rid of it a long time ago and I would have married her"
"I know Nina, but for three years I lived in regret, three years I assumed that you were punishing me, three years I waited for you. I wanted to look for you back then, but Mas Haidar always forbade me, I was afraid of your threats if I looked for you, you would not come back, that's what Mas Haidar always said, and I lost Nin, Nin said, i surrendered. For three years anyway, I had no interest in my secretary flirting with me, my clients trying to get my attention, and a doctor friend of Sandra's, I never accepted their call to have a relationship with her, because I wish you'd come back into my life"
Nina raised her head, she saw the man shed tears, she tried to go through her eyeballs, hoping for some honesty in there.
"I love you Nin, I've tried to live without you, but I can't" Danu grabbed one of Nina's hands and held it tight. "Please don't go away from me anymore" she added with teary eyes.
While Nina again bowed her head, a puddle of water in the corner of her eyes, she could no longer maintain it. "Give me some time mas"
"What do I have to do to make you believe? but please don't ask to get divorced from me"
"Bundaa" suddenly Kennan's cry echoed in his ear. Danu and Nina compactly turned to the boy who was running, he immediately released his hand from Danu's grasp, then rubbed his wet cheek before Kennan found him crying.
Nina grabbed her son's body, then held him.
"Mother, earlier Ken bought a lot of jelli, umi grandmother bought it for Kennan"
"Oh yeah?"
"Yes mother"
"Kennan didn't ask me again where is father, who is Kennan's father?" asked Nina after Kennan no longer spoke.
"No" Kennan replied firmly. "Ken is afraid of mother malacc
Danu Tehenwak heard Kennan's plain answer, He did not understand the words of his son.
"Did you always scold him Nin?"
Nina glanced at Danu while biting her lower lip.
"Sorry mother Ken, now you'll tell me who Kennan's father is"
"Who's bun?" the boy stared at the mother's eyeballs fixedly.
"Om Danu is Kennan's father" said Nina.
Hearing the mother's words, without ba bi bu, Kennan immediately turned his gaze towards Danu. The boy was struck with an incredulous look.
"Let's Ken sun hands father" ordered Nina, "don't call om again, from now on call father" continued Nina.
"Dad"
