Falling in Love With the Secretary
Not As Good As It Seems

Shana also felt even more furious when she heard the words from the next Nandra.

“Again pad finally all humans will live alone, right? People our age are too old to try new things. I think it's better to focus on what we have now. Why do we legitimize ourselves again” said Nandra.

Shana clenched her palms under the table. The words of the man in front of him just now would break his spirit in continuing his life.

“My life is still twenty-seven years.”

“Yaaa..?”

“If I fail in the next year, I am still two or eight years old. And even though I lost five years in my lifetime, I am still thirty years old.”

“And even if I wasted my life a year from my present age, I was still forty years old. I still have plenty of time.”

“I've been working hard all along and got what I needed. So, you don't have to worry about that either because I don't want to. One more thing, I am one of the independent women who can stand on my own feet” Shana replied making Nandra shocked by what she heard.

“Ah... I see, ya” reply the man with an uncomfortable feeling and with a flushed face.

Soon their food orders arrived. The restaurant waiter came to deliver their food. And set before them.

“Our orders” said restaurant supermarkets in a friendly manner.

“Sials. It turns out that I even met a woman whose personality is hard like this” Inner Nandra embarrassed herself.

“Waah, the food seems very good” Shana said without caring about the man in front of her.

And not long after when the restaurant staff still arranged their food on the table, Nandra was seen hastily tidying up her belongings and went straight to Shana.

“I suddenly have a notice for important affairs from the office. I'm sorry, I'll be back in time” said the man got out of his seat and left Shana half-ashamed.

“Sials. Today I really shit” bati Nandra walked away from that restaurant.

“Aaah, yes” replied Shana trying to relax until the man disappeared from her sight.

A second later Shana went to the toilet to calm her heart. In front of the glass sink of the restaurant toilet, Shana also looked at her face.

“Siala…!!! Although I have no intention of having a relationship with that man at all, but why am I like this? Though what he bolang it has a point also.”

“Then I would have agreed to the man's words.but now.”.

“Why do I find it so hard to breathe?”

Shana so remembered the words of one of his lecturers first.

“Shana, so many people have run their whole lives chasing something they dream of. They look fast and fast. But of them there are some who are lonely.”

“They can't see around them at all. Sometimes I have to take the time to look at the wildflowers on the side of the road. Sometimes you have to go back to the path you have been on.”

“Because in the end we are all the same.The most important thing is how we fill the emptiness in our lives.”

Those were the words he remembered from one of his lecturers back then. And he also recalled what Deen had said the last time.

“Shana, I'd rather you not work.”

Shana wakes up from her daydream. Shana did not feel like she was shedding her tears.

“Aah, I'm a crybaby. That's why I even cry like this” muttered Shana while hurriedly wiping her tears.

Shana is confused as to why diamenagis is so. Is it because this is the first time he met the opposite sex, but it did not go well at all.

Or maybe because he remembered all his struggles in his life.

“Aaah, just offer. Later I told the same Myesha who was actually the inner” Shana who decided to leave the restaurant.

When Shana came out of the restaurant, she did not pay attention to her surroundings. He just focused on walking on the front night of the restaurant towards the road ahead to call a taxi while lowering his head without realizing that he was walking past Deen who was in front of him.

“Shana, a-are you crying?”

Shana stopped her footsteps and looked back. He did not answer the question from his boss. In fact, he deliberately asked back to divert the question from the man.

“Bapak is here? wasn't it still inside?” shana asked with a shocked feeling.

“I was deliberately waiting for you outside” Deen replied as she held her nape by turning her eyes the other way.

“Someone I want to talk about” replied Deen by emboldening herself.

Both were silent for a moment. Eventually, Deen reopened the conversation.

“It's already afternoon. How about if we look for a fresh breeze somewhere else just” invite Deen who approved Shana.

They both sat in a place that is usually visited by young children. The place wasn't too crowded so they weren't too bothered with the surroundings.

Previously they also bought canned drinks and light meals to accompany them to chat. They both had toast before drinking.

“It turns out Mr. Deen a rich man like him can also drink in a common barrel like this” Inner Shana while drinking his drink.

A second later Shana glanced at Deen who was sitting quietly beside her. The man beside her was focusing on looking ahead.

“Sorry about the arm of the father. I am very happy to see your arms healed and you can already do activities like usual”, Shana said opening their chat.

“It's okay. It's not your fault entirely. I was also less careful when I went down the stairs I first” replied Deen who then took a sip of his drink.

Minutes later the atmosphere between them felt awkward again as no one continued the chat anymore. Occasionally they feel the breeze of a frown coming down on their skin.

“Shana.”

“Iya..?”

“…”

“Not so” Deen said again.

I do not know what the man wants to say until he undoes his intentions. Shana became silent and confused by what the man felt, but not long after that Shana again heard the voice of her boss.

“Tadi it..”

“I am dating, pak” replied Shana directly.

“Oh, so yes..” reply Deen.

“Eeeh, I wanted that, didn't I?” shana asked again because she just cut Deen's sentence. Shana felt she was too to the point.

“No. But I'm also curious about kok” Deen replied as she looked at Shana who looked panicked herself with an answer just now.

“Ah. Haha…! It seems I have shown my bad side in front of mr” Shana said with a forced laugh.

“As you saw earlier, it didn't go well. Looks like I'm not ready to meet new people.”

“Live another week, right?”

“Ah. That's right, sir. And dating a week before leaving office” replied Shana with a little uncomfortable feeling because she had a plan to resign.

“After you get out of the office, what are your plans?” ask Deen curiously.

“In this life there is a time for us to be alone, right? We are too old to try new things. And focus more on what we have now.”

“Eeeh, anu..” Shana so feel hesitant to hear back what Deen said just now.

“Ah…! Why is this so? Am I being honest?” inner Shana.

“A-I still don't have a plan” replied Shana finally.

“Sial…! It makes me look like I don't have Shana's inner” goal anymore.

“Looks like I was wrong, huh? I should focus on developing my career. I even want to stop when people are busy working.I don't even have any plans.”

“My lifetime, I have never been like this. I was also confused with myself”, Shana explained exactly how she felt.

“Aah. I did not expect. As far as I know, you always have a target and plan” reply Deen who had been in his eyes if the secretary was seen very disciplined.

“Hahaha…! That's for work at the office, sir. But not with my personal affairs” replied Shana who was honest with her feelings.

“Whatever it is, I'm sure you will succeed” Deen replied reassuringly and reassuringly to his secretary.
