Handsome Ceo's Secretary of Choice
Chapters 74. Give Me A Reason
Zaky had just come home from work when he was intending to go see Rania. Because he felt like they had never met for a long time. He rushed home first. Cleaning himself, then after, he chose to wear a dongker shirt and cloth trousers. When he was ready, he grabbed the car keys and the wallet he put on his desk.
Arriving in front of the house, he got into his car and started driving his white suv car towards the house of the woman he had missed half dead.
When Zaky had just arrived at Rania's courtyard, Zaky saw papa coming out of the house in a hurry. Zaky then ran small towards papa. Arriving near the papa, he took his hand and kissed her.
"Assalamualaikum, um."
"Waalaikumsalam, son of Zaky."
"Rania is, um?"
"Rania hasn't come home from work yet, son. This is just about to go pick her up."
"Let Zaky pick him up. It just so happened that Zaky really wanted to meet with Rania."
"All right, boy Zaky. Then, om trust om's son with you."
"yes om. Zaky will escort her on the way home" Zaky said with a smile. "Then Zaky goes first. Greetings to aunt. Assalamualaikum."
"Wa'alaikumsalam's chat. Be careful on the road, son Zaky."
Zaky rushed back into his car. He drove his car to Rania's workplace. Fortunately, Rania's workplace is not too far from her home. So, now Zaky has reached Rania's office. More precisely, he had just entered Rania's office courtyard.
Zaky could clearly see Rania standing near the entrance of the office with a man who was none other than Khanif. Zaky stopped the car right in front of them. Only after that, he got out of his car.
He slowly approached Rania, who was already smiling, where he was standing.
"Zaky," exclaimed Rania did not think that it was Zaky who picked her up. Zaky smiled back at Rania.
"Sorry late" he said.
"Kok you came to pick up Rania? Where's papa?"
"I was at your house, but you haven't come home said Om. So I volunteered to pick you up here."
"Emm, okay."
Zaky nodded. He also ended his conversation with Rania because he wanted to invite Rania home soon. Before leaving, Rania turned to Khanif and said something to him, "thank you for accompanying me here waiting for an invitation."
"Sama-sama, no need to hesitate," said Khanif smiling thinly.
Zaky also said to Khanif, "thank you, take care of him as long as I haven't come."
"It has become my duty as a superior to take care of him. Especially at this time Rania is still in the office, so there is no way I leave her," Khanif said.
"Yes, of course. As a good boss, you have to guarantee the safety of your employees."
After saying that, he then turned to Rania. "Let's go home now." Rania nodded. They left Khanif alone.
Before getting into the car, Rania had to turn her face towards Khanif who still saw her. Only after Khanif nodded his head once did Rania get into the car with a calm heart.
After Rania's departure with Zaky, Khanif was silent for a long time. He had just moved from there when the security guard regained consciousness. He also stepped his feet towards the car that should have been forwarded to the house.
But now different, Khanif has no other reason to keep Rania from coming home with him than in Zaky's car. Thinking about it, made Khanif not realize that he had loosened a bit of his tie which was like strangling his neck and hands gripping the steering wheel of the car so strongly that it made his fingernails whiten.
The situation lasted until Khanif's car entered the yard of the house. After Khanif parked his car, Khanif passed out of there and rushed into the house. But just as he was about to reach the door, someone stopped his footsteps.
"Darling, why did you just come home?"
Khanif turned his body towards the source of the voice. He answered with a sweet smile. "Khanif there's a little business in the office, ma. So, Khanif's been home a while."
"Next time, call your mom if you want to go home late. Let's say you're a boy, but you're still worried too" said Mama. The reason, only this time Khanif returned home late once during he took over the family business.
"God willing, ma. All right, Khanif come in first." Khanif passed from the presence of a mother who was busy watering her flower plants.
When Khanif arrived in his room, Khanif opened his suit and turned to open the tie and rolled his shirt arm up to his elbow. Only after that, he went out to the porch of his room. Enjoy the fresh breeze accompanied by the sun that starts to set at the end there.
"Darabase, Khanif. You're just making it hard on yourself" he murmured while bowing. He recalled Rania's smile when Zaky arrived to pick her up.
Not long after, there was the sound of Khanif's room door being knocked by someone. Wanting to not want to, Khanif also moved from there and rushed to open the door of his room.
"Mama?"
"Mom come in?"
"Of course I can."
Mama went into Khanif's room and sat herself in Khanif's reading chair.
"Mom saw you were so lethargic when you came home earlier. Is something bothering you? If anything, here's my mom's story."
"Not too bad, ma. So you don't have to worry about Khanif."
"Is it all because of this afternoon?"
Khanif, who knew what he meant, shook his head, because Khanif went without lunch with them, not because of Tasya he went from there. However, all because of himself who could not stand the sight that made his heart beat in pain.
Yes, Khanif admitted. Ever since the girl changed her appearance that used to not take care of her appearance too much, many more than men who stayed away from her.
Only he may be the only one willing to approach the girl because he is not looking through the physical but through his heart.
But now, since the girl changed her appearance to be like the king's daughter, many men also tried to approach her. Starting from Zaky, David and of course there are many more out there without him knowing. He took a deep breath while rubbing his tired face.
"Why?" asked Mama who was now acting sitting next to him and nodded her hand Khanif. "Try my mom's story. Who knows if you can help."
Once again Khanif shook his head and then returned to his hand. "Khanif is okay. It's just that Khanif feels tired," Khanif said with a thin smile.
As a parent, of course, you know that this child has something that makes him not excited like this. But once you know, mama seems to have an idea so that she can see the spirit of her son again.
