BEING THE CEO'S MISTRESS
Talking Four Eyes With Nugraha

In Jaya Raya Garment's office, Rivaldi was talking to his Papa. He who happened to have a meeting with his business relations in Bandung took the time to visit his Papa's office.

To his father, Rivaldi told a lot about Grace who turned out to have deceived him. Although Nugraha himself had heard the story of Arina about the woman who claimed to be named Rena was not the son of the owner of the company Langgeng Putra Persada.

" Are you looking for information about who Rena is, Aldi?" ask Nugraha.

" Yes, Pa. I've been getting information from Jimmy about who Rena is. He is the son of a famous businessman and designer named Agatha Hirawan. Does Papa know?" Because his father was engaged in Garment, Rivaldi asked his Papa about Agatha.

" Agatha Hirawan? Yes, Papa does hear his name often. He's one of the top designers" said Nugraha who felt he recognized the name mentioned by Rivaldi.

" Then, what does it mean for Agatha's son to go undercover and lie to you like that, Aldi?" Nugraha thought until his forehead wrinkled. He thought about what his son had to do with Agatha's son.

" I don't know, Pa. At first I thought it had something to do with Mahadika. But, when I found out who Rena was, I doubted that they were related to each other" Rivaldi said, expressing his initial suspicion that Grace was working for Erlangga.

Nugraha took a deep breath hearing Rivaldi's words. He did know, all this time his son was competing with Mahadika Gautama.

" From the beginning Papa disagreed with your attitude, Aldi. Papa doesn't want you to have enemies. Papa wants you to compete healthy with companies that are engaged in the same field as you. Moreover, it must be in contact with the family of Mahadika Gautama ..." Nugraha expressed regret with his son's attitude, making others now do disguises that might intend to bring down Rivaldi.

" I can't bear to see Mama always sad when she remembers her son, Pa. The Mahadika family must take responsibility for what their family members have done to Mama, until Mama must lose her child who does not know where she is at this time!" Rivaldi, who since childhood always saw Arina grieving, felt heartache towards the Mahadika family for what happened to Arina. Rivaldi felt all this was the fault of the Krisna Mahadika Gautama family, although the culprit was the cousin of Krishna's wife, who was not a direct descendant of the Mahadika Gautama family.

" But we don't have to interfere too much with that. Your mama never hated the Mahadika family either, why do you hold that grudge, son? It's not good for you going forward, Aldi." Nugraha tried to advise Rivaldi to think openly and not to put forward selfishness and emotions.

Rivaldi fell silent, not responding to what his father had said. He knew what he was doing was wrong. However, his affection for Arina, even though Arina is Mama, made him want to teach a lesson to the Mahadika Gautama family, even though he knew what he was doing too much.

Especially when he had to compete with Erlangga because they both liked the same woman. And he assumed that if Erlangga had committed a fraudulent act, making it difficult for him to get close to Kayra. That is what ultimately makes his hatred of Erlangga Mahadika Gautama increasingly.

Tok tok tok tok

The sound of the door being knocked from the outside made Rivaldi and Nugraha look at the door that was soon open and appeared the figure of Marni, the secretary of Nugraha.

" What's up, Marni?" asked Nugraha, when he saw the presence of his secretary in his study.

" I'm sorry, Sir. There are guests who want to meet with you." Marni tells the reason that caused her to enter the boss's office.

" Do I have a schedule to meet with clients today, Marni?" nugraha asked, he might have forgotten. However, he felt that today he had no schedule to meet anyone.

" Today there is indeed no schedule to meet with relations, sir." said Marni.

" Who is the guest who wants to meet?" ask Nugraha then.

" The information from the FO below, he said the guest who wanted to meet with the father was a man who claimed to be named Erlangga Mahadika Gautama, CEO of the company Mahadika Gautama, sir." said Marni explained who the guests who came to visit the Jaya Raya Garment office.

The name called by the secretary of Nugraha suddenly made Rivaldi look seriously at Marni. Not only Rivaldi, Nugraha was jolted to hear who the guest who came to his office.

" Mahadika Gautama?" without realizing his mouth called that name.

" What'd he want here?" Different responses came out of Rivaldi's mouth. Of course he did not like the appearance of the man he considered his enemy now suddenly appeared in his Papa's office.

" Aldi, please take care of your attitude! Don't make a fuss and don't embarrass Papa!" Nugraha rebuked his son in order to be calm.

" But what's he doing here, Pa?" Rivaldi was curious about the intention of Erlangga's arrival. He had time to think whether Erlangga already knew about who he was, to make Erlangga come to Nugraha's office.

" That's what we need to find out. That's why Papa asks you to calm down first" said Nugraha. " Get my guest in, Marni." Finally Nugraha told Marni to contact people at the Front office to let CEO Mahadika Gautama go up to his room. This was the first time he had met the owner of the company.

" Good, sir." After getting an order from his superiors, Marni immediately went out of Nugraha's office to contact the employees downstairs.

***

The luxury car driven by Erlangga entered the spacious courtyard of the Jaya Raya Garment office which stood majestically eight floors. Wearing sunglasses, the handsome, tall-bodied CEO got out of his car.

While buttoning his blazer, Erlangga walked into the office building owned by Nugraha. Suddenly the presence of Erlangga became the center of attention of employees who were around.

The aura of a boss that emanated from the figure of Erlangga coupled with a masculine fragrance that came out of the handsome man's body made him immediately get special services from the company's employees, he said, including from security and women who served in the front office.

" Good day, sir. Can we help you?" asked security when he saw Erlangga's presence in front of the lobby door that opened his sunglasses.

" I want to meet Mr. Nugraha Wijaya. Please you say if Erlangga Mahadika Gautama, CEO of PT. Mahadika Gautama wants to meet him." Erlangga said straightforwardly and also mentioned who she was. Because he knew, it would not be easy to meet directly with the leader of a large company if he did not make an appointment first.

" Oh, please sit down, sir. Let me inform you to the FO section." Security then goes to the front office. Erlangga followed the direction of the security guard at the front, who asked him to wait on the sofa.

Erlangga realized his presence in the office invited many pairs of eyes that pay attention to him, especially the eyes full of admiration of women who are fascinated by the physical perfection possessed by Erlangga.

It did not take long for Erlangga to wait, because five minutes later, the security had now come back to him and said, "Let's come with me, sir. I'll take you to Mr. Nugraha's room." With the friendly security conveyed his willingness to take Erlangga to meet with his boss.

" Mr Marni. This is Mr. Nugraha's guest who wants to see you." After arriving in front of the Nugraha workspace, the security told Marni about Erlangga.

" Oh, let's go ahead, sir." Nugraha's secretary then drove Erlangga into Nugraha's office.

Erlangga was aghast when he saw Rivaldi's whereabouts in Nugraha's room, when he entered Jaya Raya Garment's boss room. He did not expect that even Rivaldi was in the office of Rivaldi's parents.

" Good day, Mr. Nugraha, Mr. Rivaldi Wijaya." Erlangga greeted both father and son. " Include my name Erlangga Mahadika Gautama, maybe Mr. Nugraha's son already knows me very well." By developing a thin smile, Erlangga quipped Rivaldi.

Rivaldi gasped at Erlangga's words. From the sentence spoken by the boss Mahadika Gautama, implied that Erlangga already knew who he really was.

" Oh, yes, please sit down, Mr. Erlangga." Shaking Erlangga's hand, Nugraha invited the eldest child of Krishna Mahadika Gautama to sit on the sofa.

" This Mr Erlangga already knows my son apparently?" Nugraha pretended not to know what his son had done in Erlangga's company.

Erlangga smiled faintly with a speech. " Of course, Mr. Nugraha. He's been helping my company these past few years." Back satire was thrown Erlangga while glancing at Rivaldi who looks mixed emotions shame, because the action was secretly known by Erlangga.

" Oh, so ... Then, what need did Mr. Erlangga come to see me?" Nugraha did not want to talk too long about Rivaldi, because he knew it would only embarrass his son.

" Can I have a four-eye talk with you, Mr Nugraha?" Erlangga just wanted to talk alone with Nugraha alone, without the company of Rivaldi.

Of course Erlangga's request made Rivaldi increasingly staring with sharp eyes towards Erlangga. He was driven out in his own parents' place.

" Aldi, can you leave us for a minute?" Nugraha turned to his son.

" But, Pa ..." Of course Rivaldi could not just accept the request of Erlangga which was easily approved by Nugraha.

" Please respect our guests, son." Nugraha asked Rivaldi not to dispute it.

From Nugraha's attitude and speech, Erlangga could judge if the middle-aged man's attitude was contrary to Rivaldi's attitude which he thought was sneaky.

" What do you want to tell me so you want to have a one-on-one talk with me, Mr Erlangga?" nugraha asked after Rivaldi left the two of them.

" I'm sorry before, Mr. Nugraha. If I had acted presumptuously by meeting and talking to your wife some time ago without the knowledge of Mr. Nugraha."

Nugraha widened his eyes when Erlangga said he met Arina. Nugraha already knows Arina's past story like Rivaldi knows Mama's past story. However, in contrast to Rivaldi who intends to take revenge, Nugraha calms Arina more to be more sincere in facing reality.

" You met my wife? When?" ask Nugraha curiously.

" A few days ago, my Papa and I met and talked to Arina's mother." Erlangga changed his call to Arina. Since she respects Nugraha, however Arina's past, Arina is currently the wife of a famous businessman.

" I think Mr. Nugraha already knows Ms. Arina's past journey." Erlangga carefully said that sentence. Although Arina has told her that Nugraha knows Arina's past.

" Yes, I already know my wife's past. She's Mr. Erlangga's former nanny, right?"

Erlangga did not suspect that Nugraha already knew the details of who he was.

" Call me Erlangga, Mr. Nugraha." Erlangga asked Nugraha not to call him 'Pak'.

" Alright, Son. My wife once told me that she had worked at the family home of her parents, Nak Erlangga."

" Right, Mr. Nugraha. Arina's mother was a woman who was close to me when I was little, much closer than to my own Mama." Erlangga is back with his childhood with Arina.

" Then, what does it have to do with Nak Erlangga coming here with my wife?" Nugraha still did not understand the purpose of Erlangga's arrival to meet him.

Erlangga took a deep breath and threw her down slowly before she explained to Nugraha, what caused her to want to talk to Arina's husband.

" I want to tell you where Ms. Arina's missing child is, Mr. Nugraha."

Back Nugraha gasped at the information Erlangga had conveyed. He who originally sat while leaning back to the sofa now changed his sitting position more upright.

" Kid Erlangga know where Arina's son is? Where is he now, son?" Nugraha was made curious by the words of Erlangga.

" At this time the son of Arina's mother is with me, Mr. Nugraha."

" Kid Erlangga managed to find Arina's child? Since when was he with Nak Erlangga? I have to tell Arina, she must be very happy to know that her daughter is alive and that she is now known to exist." Nugraha immediately got up. He intended to take his cell phone to contact his wife and deliver the happy news.

" Wait a minute, Mr. Nugraha!" Erlangga held Nugraha back from telling Arina.

" Why, son?" ask Nugraha astonished.

" Mother Arina's son is my wife, sir. She is currently pregnant young, and she does not know if the parents who took care of her since childhood are not her own biological parents. Her foster parents changed the name of Kania Pratiwi to Kayra Ainun Zahra. I don't want to risk my wife being shocked knowing this. I think Mr. Nugraha understands what I mean." Erlangga expressed her worry if Nugraha told Arina now.

" Yes, I understand Nak Erlangga's anxiety. But, how is Nak Erlangga sure if Nak Erlangga's wife is the daughter of my wife?" ask Nugraha back.

" I've done a DNA test from a hair sample of my wife and Ms. Arina." Erlangga then told how he harbored suspicions about the relationship between Kayra and Arina. While Nugraha listened very seriously to the story from Erlangga.

" I beg Mr. Nugraha for help. I'm going to meet Arina's mother and tell her this." Erlangga asked for permission to meet with Arina to talk about Kayra.

" I plan to bring Kayra and Ms. Arina together. But, I have to make sure first that Ms. Arina wants to keep this secret. At the moment Kayra is pregnant with Mother Arina's granddaughter as well, I hope Ms. Arina can understand" she continued later.

" When will Nak Erlangga meet my wife?" Nugraha agreed to Erlangga's request.

" Today or evening, can I meet Arina's mother?" Erlangga did not want to linger wanting to immediately solve this problem.

" Well, how about we just meet for dinner? Son Erlangga can come to my place. We'll talk about it in my private room at home." Nugraha made a choice where Erlangga would meet with Arina.

" Alright, Mr. Nugraha. I thank you for your willingness to help me." Do not forget Erlangga thanked him for Nugraha's willingness to give permission to meet and talk with Arina.

" Don't hesitate, son Erlangga. If Kayra is your wife, then I'm your father-in-law too." Even Nugraha has accepted Erlangga as his own daughter-in-law after knowing the child, he continued with Erlangga.

Erlangga was quite impressed with the response shown by Nugraha. His heart was certainly happy because Nugraha immediately received it well.

" Thank you, Mr. Nugraha."

" You should also call Papa from now on, son."

" Maybe I'll get used to it if Kayra already knows everything, Mr. Nugraha." Erlangga rejected Nugraha's subtle request.

" All right, I understand ..." Nugraha accepted Erlangga's refusal.

" Oh yes, Son Erlangga. If I may know, how did Nak Erlangga meet my wife?" tanya Nugraha was confused, because he knew his wife was a home-based woman who rarely traveled out of the house. How Erlangga met Arina.

" I ask someone for help, Mr. Nugraha." Erlangga then tells how Grace plays her duty very well. Erlangga, who initially wanted to stop Rivaldi's actions, continues to pursue Kayra, instead finding a big secret through Grace.

" Aldi likes Kayra? Does Aldi know Kayra?" Nugraha was surprised.

" Right, Sir."

" Oh my God, it turns out that all this time Aldi had met his own half-sister and he did not know if Kayra was the Kania that Mama had been looking for." Nugraha seemed to be in disbelief.

" Right, Mr. Nugraha. Like I did not realize if Kayra who previously worked as a secretary I was my cousin's sister who we do not know her whereabouts," said Elangga.

" God has arranged for you ..." Nugraha chimed in Erlangga's words.

" Right, Sir,"

" Oh yes, Son Erlangga. For what Aldi did first, I'm really sorry and sorry." Representing Rivaldi, Nugraha apologized for his son's actions.

" I don't bother about that anymore now, Mr. Nugraha. Because after all Rivaldi is currently Kayra's half-brother. If I feel a grudge against Rivaldi, it will definitely hurt my mother Arina and also my wife." Erlangga tried to be happy to forget his competition with Rivaldi.

Erlangga knows, if Kayra finds out Rivaldi is Arina's stepson, Kayra would definitely not like to see him continue to be hostile to Rivaldi. Therefore he had to forget what Rivaldi had done wrong to him. And it should also be heartened to apologize for what he has done that has hurt his wife's stepbrother.
