Handsome Ceo's Secretary of Choice
Chapter 6. Papa Rudy's Worries

When Rania had just returned home from training, Rania was shocked when she saw the figure of a middle-aged man standing before her at this moment. His lips instantly turned crazily to summon that middle-aged figure. But even so, Rania still said it, "papa!"

The middle-aged man mentioned by Rania, quickly walked over to Rania. Arriving near Rania, papa stroked the head of the princess who was still considered small.

"Papa said, baby. You don't have to go into that organization. Especially until we come here this afternoon. You don't, papa is worried."

Rania smiled. He then calmly conveyed the words he had prepared long ago. He took Papa to the seat around there. After arriving, Rania and papa sat side by side with the hand that Rania held.

"Rania really understands what you're feeling. But, what Rania can't realize is Rania's little dream. Rania knows, Rania would not be worthy to follow her if she saw from Rania's appearance, but this is Rania, pa. It is not someone else who will accept the opinions of others easily."

"Bad kid. Papa just doesn't want you to get sick. See, as long as you follow him, your body has dropped dramatically. Papa just wants you to live in peace and enjoy your teenage years."

Rania nodded, she looked at papa with a gentle look and smiled warmly as papa was so very worried about her. "Rania knows what papa meant by forbidding Rania from joining. Rania thanked him very much because papa had taken care of Rania to this extent. But pa, if Rania doesn't start now, when else does Rania have a good time to prove Rania's talent? After all, senior sister Rania is supporting Rania too! Even she recommended Rania to come along. So, papa don't worry anymore. Believe me the same Rania," said Rania calming.

Not far from there, the newly arrived Khanif with his ninja motor saw the figure of Rania with an unfamiliar middle-aged man. He then approached them - wanting to know who was the man sitting so close to Rania.

"Assalamualaikum," said Khanif so polite.

"Sir Khanif, waalaikumsalam." Rania smiled. He introduced his father to Khanif. "Pa, he's Khanif's brother. The one who helped Rania."

"I'm Khanif, um. Rania's upperclassman" Khanif said, hand-chewing Papa Rudy.

"Thank you for being kind to my son."

"I have no reason not to be kind to a child."

Papa Rudy smiled. He was very fond of Khanif's character who was polite and without regard to physical.

"Emm, if so Khanif into first om, Rania. Khanif wants to see the others first."

Rania agrees, so does Papa Rudy who is increasingly proud of Khanif.

"Now you can trust Rania, right? Look, he's the Khanif brother that Rania told me about."

"Papa believe, but it's good not to put too much trust in others because it could be someday you are disappointed beyond your trust in him. I mean papa, treat him as you can, "suggested papa. "Now let's go home" he continued.

Rania nodded in response. But can he also make his feelings ordinary? I don't know, for now Rania just wants to enjoy it and in the future, she will think about it further.

...***...

Several days have passed since the day. Today is the day everyone is waiting for. Art performance day held by intra-school student organizations. Rania who became one of the dancers had prepared from earlier behind the stage. However, he still looks nervous because he will appear in public as one of the centers of attention. Honestly, appearing in many pairs of eyes that see it is the first thing for him and may be the last for him if the response he gets is different from his original thinking.

As Rania was daydreaming, Khanif came to see the preparation of the dancers. Feeling nervous, Rania did not even realize that Khanif was walking towards her.

"Ehem!" Khanif cleared his throat, trying to make Rania aware of his presence.

Rania looked up. He saw Khanif smiling at him. Then in a quiet voice, he called out to Khanif, "sister Khanif, I'm sorry I didn't realize that brother was here."

Khanif stepped closer and sat down on the empty seat beside Rania.

"You nervous?" ask Khanif.

"Slightly brother."

High curiosity, made Khanif more interested. He continued to ask, "I have one trick rather your nervousness can disappear. You want?"

Rania nods her head in a nod. Khanif also began to tell Rania and all of you exemplify it as well. Rania who is a girl who easily understands, easily understands the meaning of Khanif.

Rania followed Khanif's instructions by taking a deep breath, then exhaling it through her mouth. He did it three times. Sure enough, after doing Khanif's words, Rania's nervousness gradually disappeared even though not completely. But he was sure, if he did it again, surely the nervousness was gone.

Not long after, the host heard that the next appearance was a dancer from the members of the osis. Hearing this made Rania nervous. But he soon realized. He went back to doing what Khanif said. Khanif who saw it smiled.

"Excitement, success for you" he said before leaving Rania.

Rania nodded. He stood up and hurried to gather with the other dancers. Slowly, behind the stage the dancers had arranged their formation. Rania who was the last to appear, had made everyone surprised.

Rania noticed the change. Especially blatantly when he saw some of the smiling invited guests mocking him. Rania was initially disappointed. But seeing Khanif sitting in one of the guest chairs, makes Rania sure that she can show her talent as well, like other friends.

As she assured herself, Rania and her dance group managed to get a standing ovation. He even caught a whistle from the guests.

Everything went as he wanted. Although he was disappointed at first, but it did not make him disappointed prolonged.

Rania smiled back. "Thank you brother. Rania wouldn't be so confident like this if you didn't give Rania a solution."

"Hem, I'm so happy to hear that. Well I go first because there's still a lot of other things I have to do."

"Yes brother. Thank you." Thank you."

"Hem."

After the death of Khanif, Rania's dancing friend approached him. He's Desi, a second-grade teenager who also harbors a taste in Khanif.

"Ehem," Dehem Desi surprised Rania.

"Sister."

Desi folded her hands against her chest. He saw Rania from top to bottom like he was judging her. Rania who did not like the way Desi saw him spoke up.

"What's up, brother?"

"none. It's just that I'm surprised, what makes Brother Khanif so close to you. Whereas in comparison, I am more than you," Desi said intending on her face and physique.

Suddenly from behind, Tasya came to them with a mocking smile towards Rania.

"What are you saying, Des. Don't misunderstand him. Khanif only approached Rania because he felt sorry for her," Tasya said, making Rania's heart feel like it had been pierced by a dull knife.

Rania was injured but not bleeding. Instead, the tears she had been trying to hold were now flowing past her cheeks. As soon as her tears seeped out, Rania immediately wiped them away. He then left the two women who could not keep the other woman's feelings.

"If you want to make Rania aware, you don't try to compare you to her. Look, without me saying anything nonsense like you, he's gone from here" Tasya said with a burst of arrogance.

"I think I should learn a lot from Tasya."

"No need, I don't want to transmit this intelligence that will turn against me." Tasya then held onto Desi's chin and wiggled softly as he continued, "don't think I don't know if you also have more feelings for Khanif!"

"Ka .. Tasya said what the hell." With a lie, Desi smiled blandly.

"Never again be lowly in front of me!" tasya said before leaving Desi who was fixated still and withstood his frustration.

Rania who passed from the waiting room went to pick up her belongings in the sausage room. Only after that, Rania rushed home to remember her job was also done.

As he walked towards the public transport stop, a red motorbike approached him. From the color alone Rania already knew that the rider who stopped in front of him was Khanif.

"Rania," call Khanif. "Well, I'll take you home."

Rania had refused, but because of Khanif's sincere wishes, Rania could not refuse him anymore. He nodded his head as a form of approval for Khanif's invitation to him. Before Rania got closer to her, Khanif had seen a ray of doubt in Rania's eyes.

He who then knows the ray of doubt also spoke up, "if you feel uncomfortable, you can make your bag a barrier between us," Khanif said after Rania was nearby.

Rania nodded and smiled. He also began to ride on the Khanif motorbike which he had previously placed his side bag between himself and Khanif.

"Thank you again, brother."

"Either. Oh yeah, you can hold on to my bag if you want."

"Yes, brother." Embarrassedly, Rania followed Khanif's advice. Of course because he didn't want to take any more risks.

Khanif also drove Rania to his house. On the way home, there was no conversation between them. Even Rania was surprised because Khanif brought her home without asking for an address from her. But after Khanif told him, he was only able to smile in response.

"I saw your biodata in the osis, so I know your address."

"Hem, thank you for the ride you gave me."

"Either. All right, I'll go first."

...To be continued ...

Does an osis chairman have to know the address of his members, huh?
