Rania then turned the door knob and entered the room. There, his eyes were fixed on the figure he had long tried to forget.
"Sir Khanif!"
Feeling his name, the man who focused on the sheets in front of him, now loosened his head to see the figure near the door that was fixated on seeing him. Khanif did not say hello to Rania. He focused more on the documents that Rania brought.
"Are you going to stand there without giving me any financial documents?"
"Sister is ceo here? So, all this time, you've known that I work here!"
"You are my employee. Why ask the unimportant!"
Rania stunned. The Khanif he knew was different from the Khanif who was now in front of him.
He knows, the years that have passed, there must be people who have changed their personality for the better or vice versa. However, Rania could not guess which way Khanif was heading. Because Rania knows that this is office hours. Of course Khanif has to be professional and so does he.
Rania also thought to give up, after all, he was wrong because he mixed personal and work at the office by being pretentious with his boss.
"Sorry, I was too surprised to know that you were my boss."
"What's wrong. Get me the documents you have."
Rania nodded. He walked closer to Khanif. Then give.
"This is a document from the finance division for a month."
"thank you. You can go."
Rania was again confused. At least, as a superior, Khanif should start greeting him so that he as an employee does not violate any of the articles in his employment contract. That is, it should not mix personal and work affairs. Yeah, at least Khanif started it first.
Khanif looked up to see Rania who never stepped out of his room.
"Is there anything you want to say?"
Rania shaking.
You idiot! Not that it was what he wanted, but why couldn't this head compromise! Really too, when Khanif gave him the green light, he even slowed his path and in the end, he found himself at the red light again.
"If there's none, you can get out."
Rania pursed her lips as she turned towards the exit. He threw away the golden opportunity.
***
Thinking about the events of last year, made Rania dismiss her momentary thinking. He opened the old letter.
"It turns out it's been a long time since the denial incident."
Rania breathed a long heavy sigh. It was unexpected that he would work for a man who had rejected him. Indeed, he did not know that the job he wanted to apply first was the work in the office of Khanif.
He only knew about it because at that time, he considered that this was the way to success in the world of work. So without checking the profile of the owner of the company, Rania proposed to him without a second thought.
On the one hand, he regretted applying for a job there because he was still heartbroken to remember Khanif's rejection behind school. But on the other hand, he also felt lucky to be able to meet him again after a long time only to hear information about him from Bella. I don't know what his heart wants. He himself also did not know how he felt at this moment.
The knock at the door resuscitated Rania. He turned to the door that had just opened.
"Sister."
"Why not sleep?"
"Not yet, brother. Brother why come here at night?"
"Sister just wanted to check on you. It turns out that brother's guess is right."
"What is my guess?" ask Rania carefully.
"If you haven't slept. Now replied brother, why hasn't sister slept as well?"
"Oh that, Rania was just about to sleep when sister came in."
Reyhan raised his eyebrows. His gaze then turned to the open drawer and a letter in Rania's hand, Reyhan did not believe the reason Rania just now. But he didn't want to urge her to talk again.
Because Reyhan knew that his sister would not tell him what she meant by holding the thin, worn-out blue object. As an older brother who has known Rania for a long time, Reyhan may not not know the character of his secretive sister when it comes to his personal matters.
He also switched their conversation so that Rania did not suspect him that he was suspicious of his sister because he wanted his sister to remain comfortable with him. He does not want Rania to stay away from him because he feels curious about all his sister's business.
"Alright then brother come out first. Rest, sleep well."
"Yes, brother. Brother as well."
Reyhan closed the door to Rania's room. Rania heaved a sigh of relief as she had managed to divert the conversation. But he suddenly woke up as he looked down. He saw his desk drawer still open, plus he still holds a letter first.
Rania put her letter back in the drawer. After that, he returned to bed walking slowly. He did not realize when he dropped himself in bed, his legs still hurt.
He screamed, "auu .. the pain." Rania then rolled over on the bed.
Reyhan who was not far from Rania's room ran back to Rania's room. He opened the door without waiting for Rania's approval. Reyhan was shocked to see Rania in pain while holding her leg.
"Which why?"
"Huh, brother. Rania's feet are hurting."
Reyhan then pulled out his phone to contact a doctor he had known to check on Rania. Not long after, he got an answer. He also told the doctor connected his mobile phone if his sister needed him immediately.
"Sister, Rania is fine."
Reyhan turned to Rania and showed her the finger she had placed in front of her lips to keep Rania quiet and not disturb her.
"Wait for brother here" Reyhan said after hanging up his phone.
Rania nodded obediently. Reyhan's exit from his room, Rania again stroked his legs so that the pain was reduced. However, the moment Reyhan reappeared, as quickly as lightning Rania withdrew her hand. He wanted his brother not to worry about him.
"Your feet are checked outside. Here's brother, pick up."
"Rb ... Rania can walk alone, sister."
"Udah. I don't want to hear a word of rejection."
Rania resigned. Reyhan also brought Rania out of the room by carrying her. They have arrived in the middle room without making the entire house wake up due to the voice of Rania's rejection. While waiting for the doctor he had contacted arrived, Reyhan went to the kitchen to take warm water to compress Rania's legs that were not covered with bandages.
"What do you want?" rania asked as she saw Reyhan carrying a small bucket in his hand.
"Of course to compress your feet."
"Rania doesn't want to."
"Anyway should. Here let brother compressin."
Reyhan compressed Rania's feet very carefully. He did not want to make the wrong movement even make his sister in pain.
"Sister, Rania heard the bell ring."
Reyhan also went to open the door for a doctor he had contacted earlier.
"Please come in."
"Who wants to be checked?"
"Obbed my wayward sister."
"Rania?"
Reyhan chuckles. "I'm sorry to make you come on nights like this."
"What's wrong. That's my job."
"Alright, come. Rania's in the middle."
Upon their arrival in the middle room, Rania suddenly calls the doctor's name, "Zaky!" Rania does not think that the doctor her brother contacted was Zaky. You know, he'll call Zaky after, so Zaky doesn't have to come here.
"For a long time no see, Rania," Zaky said.
"Ah, yes. You're right."
"Please check first doc," said Reyhan.
Zaky nodded. He also checked Rania's legs.
"How, doc?" ask Reyhan.
"It's kind of better. It's better than ever."
"Really, Zak?" tanya Rania did not believe it. He immediately had an idea in his mind.
