My Papa Secretary
Substitute Secretary

About loving you I was overdone, especially about missing you.

*************

Morning sunlight penetrated into Lesta's room, through the cracks of her bedroom window.

The sleeping girl woke up when a ray of sunshine hit her face.

"Wake up, candidate for the spell ! Sleep only you ! I wonder, why Rey would want to make you a candidate for bininya" said Anis.

Lesta glanced at the wall clock in her room.

"Well, there's still an hour to get into the office, Anis !" said Lesta.

"Yes, but you haven't had a bath and breakfast Lesta" Anis said.

"Duh, the one who nagged her caved mother ! I'm gonna miss your nagging, Nis. If I'm married later" said Lesta who had moved to sit in her bed.

After the engagement party, Lesta's parents return home to her town to prepare for the wedding there later. Lesta's wedding, which will be held in two weeks, will be held twice. The first will be held in Jakarta and the second will be held in Lesta's home city, Palembang.

During these two weeks, Lesta wanted to make the most of her bachelor years before being billed as someone's wife. He enjoys the habit of his days with Anis and his office friends.

"I'm also gonna miss your ngomelin, Les. Gelut same to you. From college we both live here and now you will be the wife of people, leave me alone" said Anis.

"Loh ? How did you find yourself, Nis ? You also won't be alone for long, right ? Modelan Aldo saw Rey who wants to marry, certainly another clash also ngajakin you marry" said Lesta.

Anis was silent. Shortly after, he smiled.

"You why Nis ? Don't tell me you have a problem with Aldo again. Yesterday you didn't go to work and went home with Aldo, did you ?" ask Lesta.

"You say, you want to turn into a person who does not easily lash out again, Nis" said Lesta.

Anis took a deep breath. He started telling stories.

"I've indeed fixed my irritable vices, Les. But this time the problem is different. At your engagement party. Aldo introduced me to his mother who was also present at your engagement party. It was the first time I met Aldo's mother" Anis said.

***********

The Flashback

"Darling, I introduced it to my mom" Aldo said.

"Loh ? Did your mom come to this engagement party too ?" ask Anis.

"Yes, that. Rey and I are cousins" Aldo said.

"Let's go to my mom who's sitting at that table" Aldo said.

Aldo and Anis finally approached Aldo's mother.

"Ma." said Aldo.

Mama Aldo looked at them.

"Ma, this is Anis who Aldo often divorced to mama" said Aldo.

Anis then smiled as she shook Aldo's mother's hand.

"So your name is Anis huh ? Beautiful is its name. As beautiful as the person" said Aldo's mother.

"Thank you, Mom. Mother is too much. I'm not that pretty, Mom" Anis said with a smile.

Anis and Aldo's mama started chatting familiarly. Mama Aldo began to ask, how Aldo and Anis could get to know each other, asking about Anis' work and all the normal small talk as an introduction. Throughout the conversation Aldo mama looks a lot of smiles. And it seems personal friendly. Sometimes there was laughter from them. Anyway, Anis's previous fear of mama Aldo was very different from her friendly personality.

But speech does not correspond to action. All the words that Anis heard secretly, accidentally when Returning from taking a drink made him surprised.

"Mom hasn't been drinking ? I'll take a drink, I'll get it for Mom too. What do you want to drink ?" ask Anis.

"Mom asked for orange juice" said Mama Aldo.

Anis then headed to the drink table.

"How about Ma, what do you think about Anis ? The kid's good, right ?" said Aldo.

"Yes, his son is good. Beautiful again. It's natural that you like him. But Aldo, you know that mama is more concerned with seeds from other aspects. Mama's weight and bebet problems don't really matter. But for her family background, mom cares a lot. Where he came from, how his lineage was and and how his parents educated him. Therefore, mama prefers to match you with a friend's child mama, which is clear for all of that" said Mama Aldo.

"But, you can get to know Anis' parents first. Anis comes from a good family. My mom doesn't know them yet. If you already know and are close to them, you will definitely feel, they are also good parents in educating children" said Aldo.

"Either way.. You don't want to spend time getting to know someone from the beginning. Mama has a lot of other work to take care of. Leave Anis. That's enough time you canceled a meeting with your friend's son yesterday. Mama's planning on introducing you to her other mama's friend's son now. He will arrive in Jakarta soon" said Mama Aldo.

"I don't want to, Ma. I'll just marry Anis !" said Aldo.

"If there is nothing to talk about anymore, I'm allowed to go and take Anis home, Ma" continued Aldo who looks lazy to discuss the matter of arranged marriage.

Aldo leaves the table and searches for Anis at the party.

While Anis who stood back to the table where the conversation was, stood stiff there. His feet suddenly limp to hear mama Aldo's words just now.

*********

"That's why Les, I chose to avoid Aldo these few days. For me, it's a big problem in a relationship. And I'm really in a dilemma now" Anis said.

"It's complicated, too, your relationship with Aldo. Never as smooth as it seems. If I think so, you're talking about this all the same Aldo. Tell me the real problem. Tell him you know the chatter of him and his mother. Let's give you a solution together. Don't be silent as this. Poor Aldo. He must be wondering what's wrong with him" said Lesta.

Anis just fell silent. Trying to digest Lesta's words just now.

**********

The clock shows at 08:00 in the morning. Lesta was already sitting at her desk, doing her usual routine work. Coincidentally today there is a project meeting that will also be attended by the President. Inevitably Lesta must accompany Pak Marta meeting.

"August, Sir. These are some documents that need to be signed by Mr. Marta" said Lesta.

"Oh, yes. Just put it there Lesta" said Mr. Marta pointed to a small shelf specifically placed documents in the corner of her desk.

Lesta then placed the document on the shelf.

"Sir, in two days I will probably take time off to prepare for the wedding. And the letter I have also left to Mr. Tito, the personnel manager. For the position of secretary who will be empty, has been recruitment by Mr. Tito a week ago. And the selection is at the final stage. The end result, Mr. Tito got a candidate for secretary who would replace me with the best graduate in his university. His name is Ananda Qahira" said Lesta.

Mr. Marta smiled.

"If you do recruit for a new secretary, then you will stop working ? Who told you to ? Rey ?" ask Mr. Marta.

"Rey never forced me to stop working sir. He gave me the right to choose. But for now I am focused on preparing myself to be a good wife for Rey. And Rey herself said that I was bored at home later and longed to work. I can work again as his staff, sir" said Lesta.

Marta laughed when she heard it.

"Bas with the boy ! Working also he who chooses, must be as his staff as well. It seems you cannot be far from him" said Mr. Marta.

Lesta could only smile at Mr. Marta's words.

"For the position of secretary who will replace you. We recommend that the new secretary candidate named Ananda was put in the general administration division. He'll replace Tiwi there. While Tiwi I will pull here as my secretary" said Pak Marta.

"Aren't Tiwi in the branch office again ?" ask Lesta.

"His task happened to be completed in 2 days. The recruitment for the secretary there is also done. Please send an email to Tedy and Cc also to the Manager personnel there and also Tiwi, to immediately end Tiwi's service there and the assignment of a new Tiwi secretary here" said Pak Marta.

"Well, sir" said Lesta.

"Alright, let's go to the meeting room now" said Mr. Marta invited Lesta.

The meeting led by Rey went smoothly without obstacles. The meeting resulted in a decision of cooperation, with Adiputra Company with a total project of 20M.

During the meeting, the Director of the Adiputra company did not stop staring at Lesta. He is famous for his thirst for women and likes to tease women.

After the meeting, Lesta returned to his desk while Mr. President returned to his room.

Soon the Director of the Adiputra Company, who was about 30 years old, came to Lesta's desk.

Who is not familiar with Mr. Adiputra, the Director of the company whose name is spread on television and gossip account 'lambe digelantur' because of his behavior 11 12 the same casanova, another term for love wanderers.

With his handsome face, money and power, making him good at ensnaring women with his deadly seduction.

Sindi and Nana who saw from afar were fascinated by the figure of the Director of the Adiputra company.

His name is playboy, of course appearance is the main focus for him. As of this moment, the fragrance oil he was wearing smelled to a considerable radius.

I think it was perfume, spilled a bottle on his shirt. Fragrance is right, already like the fragrance of flowers.

Inner Lesta.

Not to mention her haircut that is neatly arranged and shiny, glare and slippery like a plate that has been washed with lemon mama. Cling-clings and stork glare !

"Sorry, can I help you sir ? Mr Adi wants to see Mr President ?" tanya Lesta who spoke with Mr. Adiputra who was already standing in front of his desk.

"No. I came here, deliberately to see you Miss Lesta" said Adiputra.

Duh, the feeling is not good !

Inner Lesta.

"Well me ? What's up, sir ?" ask Lesta.

"Can I get your phone number ?" ask Adi.

"My cell phone number ? What are you for, sir ?" said Lesta.

"To know you even further ! Since in the meeting room earlier I kept watching you" said Mr. Adi with his pedal.

Jleb !

Lesta was silent for a moment. Not just Lesta. Sindi and Nana whose table is not far from the table Lesta were also shocked to hear the words of Mr. Adi just now.

Why the hell Mr. Adi even glanced at Lesta who had sold out. I and Sindi are transparent, do not seem to be here either. This time is called a non-blood pain, hyx.

Inner Nana.

Suddenly there was a clattering of steps approaching Lesta's desk. Rey came with a sour face. He stared hard at Adi. His face looks upset.

"Loh, Mr Rey ? Is it here too ? There's a need also with Miss Lesta ?" said Mr. Adi with ease.

The mood is getting tense. Everyone knows what will happen next, except Adi who is still grinning with a sinless face.

This Adi sir seems to be registering himself as the recipient of the hottest tabokan from Mr Rey !

Batin Sindi's.
