Handsome Ceo's Secretary of Choice
Chapters 16. Jealousy is unnecessary

Good day, hello everyone. Don't be bored" read my story huh.

...***...

As she had expected this afternoon, just as Rania entered the living room, Rania had already gotten a sharp gaze from the papa. Looking at her, Rania lowered her gaze and walked closer to papa. He squeezed his fingers until his nails turned white.

"Sit down" tell papa.

Rania sat down like papa said. However, he sat a little away - different when papa just came home from work with a long time. Usually, he would hug papa while sitting like a child who had just seen his parents again, after a long time unseen.

"Sit closer to papa, Rania," asked Papa Rudy.

Rania shook her head, honestly right now she was afraid of papa's gaze on her. Usually if papa sees her, papa will look at her gently in love, then spread her arms so that Rania approaches and embraces her.

But now, let alone hug papa, raise his head to see that he does not want to.

"Rania, it's close to papa. You don't miss papa?"

Rania shook her head, of course she missed so much. Moreover, he only saw the papa after a week. Who tries not to miss? Lying that Rania does not want to hug the papa, but how else, her current fear exceeds her longing.

Seeing that the princess did not come closer, Papa Rudy approached Rania. He sat near Rania which made Rania look up to see him. Papa's gaze at her that had changed, made Rania able to sigh in relief.

"Papa's not mad at you, baby. How can papa be angry at his beloved daughter, papa," comfort Papa Rudy while nodding Rania's hand.

"But you must be disappointed in Rania, right?" guess Rania's origin.

He dared to guess like that because he saw papa's unusual gaze on him. Usually papa will look at him lovingly, affectionately or worried when he is injured. But seeing papa's gaze at him earlier, as if making Rania know the other side of papa. For this reason until this second, he did not dare to look directly at the bead of papa's eyes.

Papa smiled at Rania's words. Then, papa also referred, "yes, papa is disappointed in you because it turns out that this papa's daughter already has another male figure, besides papa."

Rania also refers, "papa is wrong, papa remains number one in Rania's heart and until anytime will never be replaced."

Papa pulled Rania into his arms, leaning Rania's head against his chest. Papa smiled because he managed to make his son feel comfortable again.

"Bad boy." Papa rattled Rania's nose, and continued, "it's like you don't want to give you up to a man of your choice, if the time comes."

"If so papa don't give up Rania," Rania looked up at papa.

"No dear. Even if you say no for now, papa is sure, someone will change the way you look someday. Even unknowingly you've been stolen from papa. By the time that happens, papa can only bless you."

Rania dissolves in the arms of the father. It was as if the embrace was able to calm him down when his heart was not exhausted in the days gone by. I don't know what happened to him. He had worked there for a long time, but only this time he felt it was not because of this.

"So tell me who the guy who had lunch with you is. Papa wants to know," said papa made Rania aware of the momentary daydream.

"Emm, that." Rania thought that after all, papa had to tell him who the man who had lunch with her, so that papa would not continue to tease her. Rania continued to say, "He is Zaky, a friend of Rania's college. We were friends when we started college in the same place, but different majors. We are friends to this day. So, papa can't be jealous of her. Jealousy is not good."

Papa is anxious, he then pinches slowly on Rania's cheek. "Can't papa be jealous of her?"

"Of course not, because papa doesn't deserve to be jealous of him. Right now, Rania still has papa," entertain Rania.

Papa tightened his embrace. "Hem, papa won't be jealous anymore. All right, go clean up first." Pretending to cover his nose, he continued the question, "emm stinks of acem."

Rania immediately broke away from the papa. He pouted with his sweet lips. Rania knows papa is just kidding. But Rania still replied, "wrong papa, Rania smelled noni," Rania's snickering followed by papa's booming laughter.

Mama who was in the kitchen to hear the laughter of the child and papa. He shook his head to hear their voices. It always ends like this. Mama came to them with tea and cake she had just made.

"Mama" said Rania.

Rania remembers her journey tomorrow. Although already said it to mama and got approval, but different again when it comes to papa. For him, getting papa's approval is number one. Just like he got approval when he started college and working. With a small smile, Rania turned to Papa again.

"Pa's."

The reflexed Papa just asked, "what's up, son?"

Rania is clueless, she turns to Mom. "Mama, mommy, tell me the same story about tomorrow. Rania's going to the room first."

Rania soon leaves her parents, with papa being astonished. But he did not get into the room. He hides behind a wall, listening to his parents. He knows that listening to people's conversations is impolite. However, he also wondered what the answer was from papa. So, Rania chose to listen to her father and mother.

"What's up with tomorrow?" ask papa.

"Rania is leaving for M, pa."

"What's? Why didn't anyone tell papa earlier."

"Oh papa, where would you tell me that papa is rarely at home. He likes to go to the second house," mama grunted.

"Papa's sorry, but it's papa's job. Papa promised, mama and the kids remain number one."

"So, Rania was given permission to go there, right?"

"How long has Rania been away?"

"Rania said Saturday is coming home." Mama plays the button on papa's shirt, then continues her words, "not that Rey is there. Surely Rey used to take care of Rania," persuaded mama.

"Papa was worried about Rey, that kid really liked Rania."

Mom smiled. "It's not good that Rey likes Rania. My mom doesn't even have to worry anymore. Papa let him yes. For the sake of mama," persuaded mama to pull out her death-style.

"All right, papa let me. But on condition, upon Rania's arrival, Rania must contact papa."

"Ready sir," said the mother raising her hand as respectfully to the flag.

It made papa laugh. "The same child is the same."

"Pa ...," cut mama.

"That's why don't cut off papa's words first. Papa wants to say, mama's the same child, can't be denied his request."

Mama Dahlia smiled. He thinks the same as his beloved husband.

Behind the other wall, Rania pranced happily. He was very happy when Papa allowed him to leave. Rania also grew happy when she found out that Rey was there too. A man very close to her.

His mother and father were still talking when he decided to go into the room to clean up. Really, today he was very happy. Especially when you know papa is not angry at him for finding himself having lunch with Zaky.

Recalling Zaky, Rania recalled the first time they met.
