My Papa Secretary
Adult Thinking
The clock has shown at 13:00 noon. Usually at this hour, Rey and Lesta have finished their lunch together.
But not for today. Lesta and Rey don't have lunch together. Lesta went to lunch with Sindi and Nana. Rey, meanwhile, ate lunch in her room with a rice box that Office Boy had bought in her room. They each maintained their prestige, and were still in an atmosphere of cold war.
Mr. Marta who rarely comes to Rey's room, today visited her room. Before stepping into Rey's room, Lisa who was outside the room and sat at Rey's secretary's desk swiftly greeted Marta.
"People, Mr. Marta" said Lisa.
Marta nodded. Then he walked into Rey's room.
"Papa ?" said Rey who was shocked to see Mr. Marta who just entered his room.
"Tumben papa's here" Rey continued.
"Wouldn't papa come to your room ?" ask Mr. Marta.
"It's not. Rey usually goes there. Why is it now that papa is bothering to come here. Are there any reports that are urgent ?" ask Rey.
Marta did not answer. He just smiled. He asked Rey something else.
"Have you eaten ?" ask Mr. Marta.
"It's Pa" said Rey.
"Where ?" ask Mr. Marta.
"In my room" said Rey.
"Why not go with Lesta ? Do you usually have lunch together ?" ask Mr. Marta.
Rey was silent for a moment.
"I'm doing a lot of work" Rey said.
"Rey.. Rey's.. Papa thinks you've completely changed. Apparently there is still a selfish side of you that has not been lost" said Mr. Marta.
"What does Papa mean ?" said Rey.
"Papa's been watching your and Lesta's behavior all day. You guys got into a fight ?" ask Mr. Marta.
Rey fell silent. Not answering anything.
"Rey, you're a man. Show that you have a firm and committed attitude. Why do you think Papa allowed Lisa to intern here ? Even though you know what kind of person Lisa really is" said Mr. Marta.
"Lesta thinks nothing of me" Rey said.
Mr. Marta smiled.
"It's only natural that Lesta thinks suspiciously of you and Lisa. Lisa is your cousin and childhood friend. You grew up and grew up together. Makes Lisa selfish to always have you. Papa remembers how he drove away the women who tried to get close to you. But in the end you had to split up because Lisa was studying abroad. So that other women who only you think of as toys can approach you again" said Mr. Rey.
"Maybe because you're used to being surrounded by women who adore you, it makes you want to always be flattered as a man. So, you feel that Lesta must come to you to beg for improvement again" said Mr. Marta.
"But you know. The one who approached Lesta wasn't just you. You don't want Lesta's feelings to change just because of your immature attitude" said Mr. Marta.
Rey looked at her father.
"Papa likes Lesta. He's a tough guy and can turn you into a better person. If you're a real man, you should apologize to him first. If you can't respect the people around you, how can people trust you to give you great responsibility" said Mr. Marta.
Rey fell silent. Digesting well every word his papa just now.
********
In the office canteen. Lesta and Lisa had been sitting opposite each other.

"What do you want to talk about ? I don't have much time. There's still a lot to do" said Lesta.
Lisa grinning.
"Oh, what do you want to talk about that 'cousin' sister ?" said Lesta who deliberately emphasized the word 'cousin' in his pronunciation.
"It looks like you're in a cold war right now ?" shoot Lisa directly.
Lesta fell silent. He stared intently at the girl in front of him right now.
"You need to know Lesta. Well, if actually me and Rey aren't real cousins. I was taken from an orphanage because my parents are now unable to have children. I've been adopted since I was 10. I'm happy because this family loves me so much and meets my needs" Lisa said.
"But sometimes, I feel sad and want to know what kind of parents have dumped me into the orphanage. Rey and I both have that same sadness. Rey who had just been in the house left because her mother died, also experienced a bad period. At that time we strengthened each other and shared our grief so that our burden did not feel so heavy. Since that time we often go through days together, telling a lot about the activities we do when we are not together. But in the end, I had to study in the country for three and a half years" Lisa said.
Lesta sighed.
"I don't know why I had to hear your story just now. But can you get straight to the point what's your reason for asking me to meet here ?" lesta.
Lisa laughs.
"You're really to the point, it's Les" Lisa said.
Okay, now don't call Mr. Lesta anymore but directly Lesta doang. Bagoesss !
Inner Lesta.
"I've heard a lot of Kak Rey's behavior who likes to change girlfriends while I study abroad. But after I saw you who Rey introduced as her boyfriend. Rey seems to think you're different. But it doesn't matter to me. I'm gonna fight for Rey's sister. Because all this time I always got what I wanted !" said Lisa.
"I brought you here because I wanted to make it clear to you that, because Rey and I are not blood cousins. So it doesn't matter to me and Rey if you get married later !" said Lisa.
Lesta was quite surprised to hear Lisa's words just now.
Suddenly the voice of a man shocked the two of them.
"Oh yeah ? But who's gonna marry you ?" said Rey who suddenly stood in front of them. Rey took a chair, sat down next to Lesta.
"Sir Rey.." said Lisa.
"You seem to have misunderstood Lisa all along. I just think of you as a friend. You've even looked like my own brother" Rey said.
"But I like Rey's sister" Lisa said.
"You don't like me. You're just used to me. And so do I. I am good to you because you are the first person to be good to me. The first person who tried to comfort me after my mother's departure" Rey said.
"But what I feel for you is different from what I feel for Dance. I have a special feeling for him. He can make me better. There's no one I want to marry other than Dance !" said Rey.
Lisa silent.
"Now you also pack the items on your desk. I told you to move you to the branch office. But if you mind moving there, you can intern at your papa company !" said Rey.
Lisa was shocked to hear that. He looked at Rey. For him, this was an affirmation from Rey that she did not have to expect anything more from Rey.
Lisa then stands up from her place and leaves Rey and Lesta there.
Lesta smiled at Rey.
"Why are you laughing ?" ask Rey.
"Because my boyfriend has started thinking wisely now" said Lesta.
"Daughter ? Oh, so I'm still considered a girlfriend now. Means Shrimp nih nambeknya ?" said Rey.
Lesta covered her embarrassed face.
"Who said he wanted to marry me ? Do not use the nanya again people who want to be invited to marriage, what do not want" said Lesta.
Rey laughs.
"Must want to ! If I don't want to, I'll force it until I want to !" said Rey while pinching her lover's cheek.
"Basic Thugs Market !" said Lesta while hugging Rey who was sitting next to her.
