DESERT MissES THE RAINBOW.
56. Karina And The Truth About Chiras.

***daimos Group Company***

Lian and Cira entered the room Bara brought drinks and snacks. Lian stepped first to put some snacks on the glass table, then took three cups of warm drinks that Cira brought from behind.

Bara glanced for a moment at Cira who only focused on the tray he was carrying. Mona was just plain ordinary about the arrival of two Bara secretaries. While Karina looked intensely towards Cira who she wanted to be Bara's second wife.

Without Karina knowing that Cira already has the status of being the second wife of Bara Daimos. Destiny seems to want to unite the family of Daimos and Cira, adopted children of the Santoso family.

"Bara...You have two secretaries now?" Karina asked suddenly, while looking continuously at Cira who accidentally looked towards the middle-aged woman.

Bara and Mona's attention is now diverted to look at Cira, then look back at Karina who was sipping her warm tea. Bara and Mona looked at each other for a moment.

'Did mama suspect something about Cira?' Mona muttered in her heart.

'Did mom suspect Cira?' Ask Bara in her heart.

"Yes ma..Mona who hired him to temporarily help Bara these few months." Mona answered her in-laws' questions.

Karina looks up at Mona, she never knows if Mona is the one who hired Cira with Bara.

"You're Mona." Repeated Karina.

"Yes…!"

"You know him well." Karina said she wanted to know what the relationship was between Mona and Cira.

Karina knows who and how Mona is? Women who would not want to interfere much with the affairs of the company. But now even she herself brought her husband a secretary. What happened to Mona? Unlike usual, Karina now suspects something.

"Excuse me, ma'am." Pamit Lian represented both of them, and wanted to resign.

Nothing prevented, the two secretaries passed out. But the eyes of Bara and Karina long enough to look at the back of Cira to disappear from behind the door leaf.

Mona looked towards the in-laws who saw her and waited for an answer.

"Mama probably doesn't know him, because he rarely gets together with the family." Mona. He thinks Karina doesn't know Cira is the adopted son of her older brother, Mike Santoso.

Karina frowned looking at Mona. He felt strange for the word family. Karina does not know that Cira is the adopted son of Mike Santoso. Karina knew Cira at the orphanage she went to, and she knew Cira as a regular donor at the orphanage.

The young, beautiful, and kind girl that Karina has known for over 8 years. A young girl who knows how to share with orphans, when she was very young. Cira is the youngest donor in her group. Cira was included in the group of donors that Karina managed with some of her friends, and Cira agreed to join Karina.

At the beginning of his introduction to Cira, at that time Cira was still 15 years old. Still sitting in the 2nd grade of High School, school children who already know how to share and give attention to children who do not have both parents. Karina used to think that Cira was the son of a rich man in their town, but it turned out that she was just a child from an ordinary family. That is what makes Karina and her husband have more attention to Cira.

In the past he had plans to match Bara and Cira, but Bara already has a partner of his own choice. So that Karina and her husband could not force his will. Bara's happiness is paramount to Karina and her husband.

That was the beginning Karina and her husband knew Cira. Beautiful, cheerful, and kind young girl. The girl who looks perfect in the eyes of Karina and Carlos Daimos. One funny thing about their introduction, both Cira and Karina both hide their true identities.

Cira knows Karina as the owner of a boutique in the area around the orphanage, while Karina knows Cira as a child who is a genius in the field of IT experts and get paid a lot of money from her work. A job he had learned by self-taught.

Even Carlos once asked Cira for help, to eliminate a virus on the security of the system at one of Carlos' branch companies abroad. Cira managed to do that and got a hefty payday from Carlos Daimos. Part of the payment was donated by Cira to several orphanages in the country.

One thing Carlos likes about Cira, the girl does not like to interfere in things that are not her business, and does not like to get to know or be close to people who are not family members and good friends. So until now both Carlos, Karina and Cira do not know their respective identities.

"Family.Who do you mean family?" Karina's question did not understand Mona's intentions.

'Mama really doesn't know who Cira really is? Mama didn't know Cira was Mike's foster son. It's good for me, slowly I'm easy to introduce Cira with mom and dad. They will be able to receive good Cira because they still have family relations with me, even though it is limited to the adopted children of the Santoso family.' Mona muttered in her heart.

Mona smiled at the confusion of her mother-in-law.

"Mama probably doesn't know that Mike's brother has a adopted daughter yet." Mona.

Karina tries to understand what Mona wants to say.

"Lift princess. Your brother Mike has a foster daughter!!" Karina doesn't know that.

"Yes ma..kak Mike has one adopted child that is not known by many people." Nod her while smiling to convince her explanation.

"Who do you mean?"

"The new "Secretary of Bara is Mike's foster daughter. Mona makes him Bara's secretary, knowing well how Cira is. So it would be safe to be a secretary as well as a second assistant to Bara, because Bara does need a backup secretary." Obviously Mona.

Karina was quite surprised, now she knew one truth about the girl she had known for a long time. Cira is the adopted daughter of Mike Santoso.

"His name is Elcira Ardelia. You can call him by his little name, Cira." Mona explained back.

'What kind of destiny is this? Cira is the adopted daughter of Mike Santoso, Mona's older brother. That means Mona's own niece. If I want to match Bara and Cira, it means that it is impossible to happen. Although Cira is only an adopted child, it will not be comfortable to be made Bara's second wife. There's no way I made Cira honey out of her own tantamount. This matchup is getting further.' Karina muttered disappointed in her heart about the truth.

"What is ma…?" Mona asked, looking at a different image from her in-laws.

The look on Karina's face was sad and confused.

Karina looked towards Mona, long enough. Making Bara and Mona look at the middle-aged woman's astonishment.

"No dear, my mother was just surprised. Mama never knew if your brother Mike had a hidden adopted daughter." Said Karina as a diversion to her heart.

"Hidden. Not like that, Cira who does not like to be in an environment full of strangers for him. Cira prefers to be alone." Mona.

Mona does not like it if her brother Mike is said to hide his adopted daughter, although in reality it is like that. Mona doesn't want her family's ugliness to be known by others, what else is her mother-in-law. It would tarnish his own good name as well as the Santoso family.

'Guess they prefer to be alone. Looks like Cira is not that kind of person. I know Cira is very friendly, cheerful and likes to socialize with anyone? There seems to be something strange about Mona's explanation.' Inner Karina did not believe Mona's explanation of Cira's personal nature and attitude.

"Is your nephew really like that? It seems like what you saw the boy was quite friendly and kind to anyone." Karina said in disbelief, she tried to listen to what Mona would say next about Cira.

Mona knows that her in-laws don't believe her explanation of Cira.

"Of course, Mona knew Cira since she was a child. How Mona might be wrong. Cira came into our family, before Caroline's birth. So Mona knows very well how Mona's own nephew." Obviously Mona tried firmly so that there was no doubt of her explanation.

'It looks like Mona's explanation and the reality I saw for myself, are very different. What is the real Cira?' Karina murmured in her mind still hesitating.

"Yes ma..Nanti mama will know for herself, if you already know Cira."

Karina shut up and tried to believe. But going to find out more, he felt that there was something hidden by Mona about Cira. Karina wanted to prove it herself.

"Well, of course, my mom believes in you.You know your niece better." Karina wants to end their conversation about Cira's personal nature.

"So what do you think Bara. Is that boy good and fit to be your secretary for the past few months?" Tanya Karina looked towards Bara.

I see the mama.

"Yes. He's pretty good at his job. It works the same way as Lian." It is clear what is the truth about how Cira works.

"Good then. You don't have to keep going to change a secretary. How many secretaries have you replaced and fired. I don't know what was on your mind when you fired them all, I don't understand that."

That's the truth Bara all this time, there are no more how many secretaries Bara replaced and fired. According to Bara, all the secretaries he fired were very cheap and could not work. So Bara finds it hard to find a suitable secretary for her, like Lian's longest-serving secretary.

"They all couldn't work out the way I expected. So why would I keep a subordinate who would only eat blind paychecks." Bara replied coldly, he was annoyed considering how cheap all the secretaries he fired were. Always try to seduce and peddle their bodies to Bara.

Mona and Karina know very little about the story behind the secretary who was fired by Bara. They are both silent and can understand if Bara does not like it.

"Well, now you know your new secretary is Mona's niece. So it'll make you comfortable working with her, isn't it Bara…!" A word that has a lot of meaning in it.

"Of course ma, Bara would certainly be comfortable. Oh, yes, baby…!" Mona looked towards Bara.

Bara looked towards Mona who gave a signal through her eyes.

"Yes." Yeah." Brief reply Bara.

"All right then. Mama's going home now. Mona, are you coming home with mom." Bring Karina. He has enough information about the truth and the whereabouts of Cira is in the Bara company.

Although Karina was disappointed because she could not match Bara and Cira. At least he didn't make the wrong way. That's what he's thinking now.

Mona and Karina return home after giving Bara a kiss of cheek and farewell hug. The two women of different ages passed by the secretarial desk occupied by Lian and Cira. Waving their eyes they looked for a moment at Cira who gave her respectful attitude to the two mistresses of the Daimos family.
