His Virgin Ex Wife
afternoon but not alone

The sky was still bright and the afternoon was still long when Rayya came out of the walk-in closet. He wears three-quarters pants and a long-sleeved top, which means he plans to cook. Rayya does not want if later his hands splashed anything, especially oil or hot liquid when cooking. The princess warned that the woman should be able to take care of the body. Maintaining safety when cooking is one way to take care of the body.

Rayya stepped into the kitchen toward the stove she had just lit. The potion almost boiled. Just when he saw the first explosion on the surface of the water, his hand turned off the stove because according to the recipe he got, the potion should not boil too long. He took the mug and poured the drink into it, added honey and brought it to the front of the television.

He grabbed a remote on the table and turned it on. After several changes to the show channel, he put it back on the table and took out his mug. He slowly smelled the drink before slowly sipping it.

Rayya not dislike coffee, he just prefer tea and spices like this. In addition to being able to do a lot of experiments - making the process of concocting it more exciting, he could feel a variety of benefits from simply resisting sleepiness when drinking coffee. When asked, Rayya may want to be an artisan-pebble drinks spices and various teas rather than a barista let alone a bartender. The sin was mostly then Rayya felt no need to add it with a sip of alcohol.

The recipe varies. Sometimes it is quite simple, just combine turmeric and tamarind. Sometimes when feeling less fit or achy, it increases the combination more complicated such as turmeric, bay leaves, cinnamon, and lemongrass.

His assistant once shuddered when told to taste. He nodded, shook his head, moved his body just to save himself from the potion.

“I have often consumed spices in the form of rendang, Miss,” refused yesterday.

Rayya could not believe that her assistant's mindset was truly magical. He sighed and then went back to drinking the potion inside the mug. What makes Shanaz so scared? Rayya can even drink a full mug, not a cup, this mug is usually used to drink hot chocolate. If Rayya could drink this much, how could Shanaz escape when told to come for a drink? It was even more absurd when his assistant was comparing the herb to rendang!

Rayya observed the door when someone pressed the bell. It didn't take long for someone to press the pin. That must be his assistant. Naturally he came home on time because indeed this boss even went home since lunch.

He came home first because he was tired. The work waiting for him was not too much. He quite signed some reports considering the devolving position since Monday yesterday, but his mind was unusually exhausted because of the meme-menye scene he witnessed earlier.

Shanaz greeted sweetly before stepping into the guest room. Rayya. He did ask Shanaz to temporarily move here. Since the marriage of her ex-husband, Rayya has been attacked by loneliness several times. He thought how bleak his future life would be.

There are many reasons why Rayya has believed in Shanaz so far. He recalled the incident at that time, when the first week his assistant was asked to be his secretary.

That day before lunch, Rayya turned to the toilet. It is not that there is no toilet in his room, but he deliberately uses the restrooms of all employees to check the cleanliness. Just as his hand touched the doorknob, he heard a horde of officers coming in. When he heard his name began to be called, he chose to be silent and stole their chatter.

“Naz, how was the experience of being Miss Queen's assistant?” ask a woman. From his voice, Rayya guessed who it was. He remembered that some days Shanaz had the spirit of lunch because, from his curses, lunch with the secretaries was his dream.

Shanaz was a simple thought, when asked why it was nice to have lunch with the girls' gang, he said that the secretary's position was usually given to beautiful women or attractive men. So, he felt included in the category of beauty when given the position of being a secretary. Making friends with beautiful women is also something that is a pity to miss because, the prestige is quite tempting.

Imagine if the school time first, can join the gang of the school ruler, well, like that shadow of Shanaz about the gang of secretaries in this office.

“Udah scolded how many times the same Miss Queen?”

Rayya held back the anger and then took a slow breath. Miss Queen was a scorn from the Busro elders. They said it because Miss Queen has two meanings. First, it could be interpreted that Rayya was the queen, the little queen for the Busro family, telling how Ibrahim Busro treated him as well as possible even more than his affection for Daus.

Second, Miss Queen is a satire that means poor. Yes, taken together, Miss Queen means Rayya is the queen in the Busro family but she is (actually) poor, commoner, lower-class people who are lucky enough to be adopted by Ibrahim Busro.

“Miss Rayya well,” replied Shanaz making Rayya frown.

“Ih... You even sok iye that?” scorn one of the women.

Rayya remained calm listening to the conversation.

“Are you newly given a big bonus so ngebelain Miss Queen?” look at the woman who asked the first question.

“No, my bonus even got cut. Yesterday I was wrong schedule but I just got angry not getting fired. Kan... that means my boss is good,” replied his assistant smoothly honest and with integrity.

Huh!

“You... afraid of your boss? I said what it was, like us. All this time we talked honestly about our superiors. You don't have to be afraid,” seduce one of the women out there.

“I... don't pretend, this is really my opinion. Miss Rayya is really nice. I'm working slow, but Miss Rayya still wants to use my energy. Whereas yesterday when I interned in another department, I was like a stepson, like an angry gray-upik, given this job-it. So much work is wrong, I kayak..not considered, rich wind that just passedatin so, anyway invited to chat was not.”.

Rayya recalled the first time her assistant had been brought into her room. The personnel manager said that his secretary resigned, again! This is the third time this month that Rayya's secretary has resigned. He then said that if it continues, then he better not use a secretary. After all, Rayya can also set his own schedule. Although sometimes he was helped by Mr. Handoko when he really needed help.

When the position was vacant, Rayya did a lot of work herself. More tired if Rayya has to interview new people many times, teach this is it, it must be so, then at the end of the week, the person is overwhelmed, he said, fatigue with stacks of work and standard values from Rayya. Thus, when the Personnel Manager escorted Shanaz, Rayya did not take it too much. Moreover, the news that women are the worst in their workforce.

Raya immediately understood, they deliberately gave Rayya an assistant with low capabilities so that Rayya fired the woman. Then, as he said, Rayya will not have a secretary anymore and the company can be free from incompetent employees. If you also need to pay severance, then the mistake was due to Rayya, Rayya who fired him.

But, instead of being silent, Shanaz continued to learn. Even though there was no job from Rayya, the woman remained persistent in finding out. Shanaz admitted that he was not from a graduate school secretary, he was not even adept at using secretarial applications, but he wanted to learn. Rayya secretly watched him study. When in later days he still made mistakes, scolded mercilessly, Shanaz did not budge. He did not whine, complaining to the personnel section. Shanaz kept working as well as possible. No drama, no whining.

Some time ago when Rayya had a fight with Daus in his room, Shanaz was still busy working on a pile of work. Rayya found it even using earphones.

“You listen to songs while working?” asked Rayya at the time.

Assistant shakes. “I only wear earphones so that I do not hear the conversation Miss with Mr. Daus. I think Miss needs some privacy. Therefore even though I did not listen to the song, because I still have to listen in case there is a phone coming in, but I did not hear the chat Miss with Mr. Daus,” he replied.

Rayya instantly understood the mindset of the woman. Basically, people have curiosity. But she is not a woman who is kepo let alone pretentious to know.at least, the young woman understands which parts she can hear, which parts she needs to stay away from. At least even though his performance is not smooth, but he is an employee who does not just want to know about what he should not know. So today's conversation makes Rayya increasingly have a reason to defend the young woman.

Not only does he know himself, but Shanaz also knows how to be grateful and trustworthy. So in the following days Shanaz not only became a secretary but also an assistant who takes care of all the needs of Rayya both in the office and outside the office as it is today.
