My employer, my husband
Chapter 10

"Son Zia, forgive Aditya's rude attitude, yes. I don't know what else to say, I'm really ashamed of you and Miss Narti" Aditya's mother said.

"It's okay, Mom. Nazia could understand, really," said Nazia, smiling a warm smile at the woman.

"Thank you, son!" Miss Radia rubbed Nazia's cheek gently and then immediately said goodbye.

In front, Aditya was impatiently waiting for Miss Radia in his car. While Mr. Dodi is waiting in front of his car door.

"Come, Mom." Mr. Dodi opened the door of his car and let Ms. Radia in first.

After his parents got into his car, Aditya rushed his car to his residence.

"Nazia, come on in! It's cold, youh!" take Bi Narti while embracing Nazia's tiny body and lead her into the house.

"Why, Zia thinks Mas Aditya never liked Nazia. Even since the first time he came to this house," said Nazia.

After entering her house, Nazia immediately approached the table and cleaned the remnants of drinks and snacks on the table.

Bi Narti let out a heavy breath while staring at the girl. "Yes, because he doesn't know the real you yet, son. If I may give you advice, let's see how the man behaves to you in the next month. If the attitude is still like that, you should not continue this matchmaking. Aunty does not want the man to keep trampling on our self-esteem just because we are poor" Bi Narti said.

Nazia looked at Bi Narti with a sad face. He abandoned his intention to clean the dirty glasses that lined the table and chose to drop himself on one of the chairs.

"Then what about the wishes of the late father who wanted Zia to marry Mas Aditya? Would Zia be innocent if Zia did not comply with Dad's last wishes?!" ask Nazia.

"Come, Son. But let's just pray, that Nak Aditya will change and become a good husband and father to you and your children."

The one remaining a month faint smile on Nazia's face. "Amen. Hopefully," he said.

The next day at Danish's office.

"Good morning, sir," said Aditya.

Aditya approached Danish's desk and sat down right in front of her. He put some important files requested by Danish on his boss's desk.

"This is the file you requested yesterday, sir" Aditya said.

"Thank you" said Danish.

Suddenly Danish's eyes were fixed on the ring that was coiled on Aditya's ring finger. Danish knitted his eyebrows while watching the ring. He raised his head then looked at Aditya with a faint smile.

"You're engaged, huh? How come I wasn't invited?" goda Danish's.

Aditya's face paled. He was so surprised that suddenly Danish found out about his engagement. "Tu-fiancee? Same who?" ask her with a stammer.

Danish chuckles at Aditya's reaction which looks funny to him. "You and Helen, that's it. Who else is it?" answer Danish.

Aditya breathed a long breath. He was relieved, it turns out that Danish did not know about his engagement with the village girl.

"No, Mister. Helen is still not ready to be bound in a more serious relationship" Aditya said.

Danish's forehead shriveled again, he looked at Aditya's ring finger and he did not see wrong that it was an engagement ring.

"Then the ring?" Danish pointed at the ring on Aditya's ring finger with the look in her eyes.

"God! Why am I still wearing this ring!" aditya's inner self when he realized that his engagement ring with Nazia was still coiled on his ring finger.

"I-this isn't an engagement ring, Mr. Danish. It's just a regular ring. Last night I tried this ring and I forgot to take it off" Aditya said.

"I'm serious, sir," Aditya said as he scratched his non-itchy nape. Slowly Aditya pulls his hand down the Danish desk then immediately releases the ring.

"I'd better let go, than it will make everyone more suspicious of me" he said.

Danish smiled and she did not want to bother even though her assistant lied to her.

Meanwhile at the flower shop, where Nazia is still struggling with her work.

"This is the change, Ma'am. Thank you" Nazia said, handing over the change to her buyer.

"Together."

After the buyer left, suddenly his blind phone rang. He immediately grabbed the flat object and then placed it next to the ear.

"Yes, Mom?" greet Nazia.

"Son Zia, where are you? This is Mom in front of your house but it looks like your house is empty, huh?" ask Miss Radia from across the phone.

"Loh, Nazia's at work. What's the matter, Mom? Can Nazia help you?"

"Look, Zia boy. I want to make sure you play at home, how? I'll pick you up now, okay?" said the woman with great enthusiasm.

"But, Ma'am ..."

"Udah, don't think about your job. Later I'll pick you up at work then Mom who asks permission from the owner of the shop. Want ya?!"

"All right," said Nazia.

His face looks not excited. Actually he wanted to reject Bu Radia's invitation but he could not. Nazia did not want to make the woman who would become her mother-in-law disappointed.

"Why, Zia?" ask the shop owner.

Nazia also told the story of Miss Radia who wanted to pick her up to the owner of the flower shop. Luckily the woman understood and she allowed Nazia to come with Miss Radia.

"Go, Zia. I let you," he said.

"Really, Mom? So, you allowed Nazia to come with Miss Radia?" nazia asked trying to convince.

"Yes, go."

Not long after, the car carrying Ms. Radia arrived in front of the store. He immediately approached Nazia and asked the owner for permission.

"Yes, Mom. It's okay, I've allowed Nazia to come with you" the shopkeeper said.

"Thank you very much, Mom. Excuse me first, yeah."

In the car,

"Zia, you don't mind coming with me?" madam Radia asked Nazia who had only been silent since then.

"No, Ma. Nazia's happy, really!" saith.

At that moment Nazia was worried. He was afraid that Aditya was getting more and more ilfil to see him in their home.
