"Reenan!"

"Grandfather?"

"Great master?"

The three people in the room looked at each other, Annisa quickly lowered her gaze she was too afraid to look at the grandfather of her boss.

"Why did Grandpa suddenly come here?" ask Reenan wonder.

"Why? It's my office!" said grandpa Reenan.

"Who is he?" asked Reenan's grandfather to point at Annisa.

"The new secretary,"

"You two sit down!" reenan's grandfather orders, "Explain what I saw!"

"What did you see?" ask Reenan back.

"Reenan!"

"Sorry great sir, what the great lord saw was not like that in reality, Mr. Reenan was just kind enough to treat the wound on my cheek" explained Annisa.

Reenan looked at Annisa lazily, why would Annisa also have to bother explaining something that her grandfather definitely did not believe.

"You still know the limits, don't you, Reenan? If you want to go further get married! How many times have I told you to get married? Answer!"

"I never count the cake" replied Reenan lazily.

"Do you have to wait for me to die and you'll get married?"

"Let me think again" Reenan said as he stepped into his chair.

"Annisa come out" Reenan told Annisa. Annisa nodded and walked out of the room after slightly bowing to grandfather Reenan.

"Who is he?" ask Reenan's grandfather after Annisa comes out of the room.

"My secretary,"

"You're interested in him? If so, Grandpa will propose to you,"

"I'm not his type of man, he wants a simple man and after all he's a widow would be more selective to find a husband" Reenan said.

"Widow? A girl as young as a widow?" grandpa Reenan was surprised to hear that.

"Yes"

"I don't have any specific criteria for a woman who will be your wife, you're too ignorant of my choices, if you want a widow, Grandpa doesn't matter, as long as he is of the same religion and from a good family, grandfather will agree to it" said the grandfather.

Reenan was a little surprised, but not in the end a slight smile rose on his lips.

"Do you know who her husband was?" reenan asked his grandfather.

"No,"

"His husband is the CEO of Win's Group, I've known for a long time actually because several times their divorce news was broadcast on television, but I pretended to be quiet and did not know so that he was comfortable working," obviously Reenan.

"Whatever, if you want we can talk about this later,"

"Heeemmmm,"

Grandpa Reenan stood up to return home after getting implied answers from the grandson.

While passing through Annisa's desk, Reenan's grandfather stopped and looked at Annisa kindly.

"Great master wants me to drop by the lobby?" bargain Annisa.

"Come on!"

Annisa immediately got up and held onto Grandpa's arm carefully.

"How old are you?" ask grandpa Reenan.

"This year is 26 years old sir" replied Annisa politely.

Hardis. Reenan's grandfather watched Annisa closely, although uncomfortable but Annisa still put on her smile.

According to Hardi, Annisa is a good woman in view of her polite dress, words and behavior that Hardi is not made up for sure if her grandson must put his heart on this secretary.

"Where's your house?" ask grandpa Reenan back.

"At this address sir," Annisa said of her home address.

They reached the company lobby, Hardi then stood waiting for the driver to pick him up in front of the entrance.

"Go home, your cheeks look bruised once I'll be responsible if Reenan scolds you"

"Thank you for your attention, big master," Annisa replied with a smile.

Annisa returned to her desk, just sitting down Reenan had already called into her room.

"But sir, there's still a lot of work to be done" Annisa declined.

"I don't like to be rebutted. Remember that thing?"

"I'm sorry, but won't this be a new conversation among employees again?"

"Go home, treat your cheeks, come back tomorrow!"

"Sir....."

"Go home! Don't argue!"

Annisa nodded stiffly at Reenan's command, he immediately walked out of the room and tidied up his things to get home.

Annisa turned her bike towards one of the malls that she used to pass every day,

Sometimes buying new clothes is not what? He bought clothes with his own money.

Annisa walked down one store to another, initially only intended to buy one shirt stel instead ended up buying shoes, pajamas, and several other things such as accessories are also not left behind in buying Annisa.

"Why is this much?" Annisa stared at the grocery bag she had in her hand.

"Do you want to help me?" bargain for someone who's next to Annisa.

Annisa turned her head quickly "Sister Damar?" annisa said spontaneously.

"So you know me?"

"I'm your ex-husband, who probably doesn't recognize you" Damar said.

"I've been wearing a mask, though,"

"I memorize your face even if you cover it with a mask!"

"What's my brother doing here?" ask Annisa curious.

"Meeting clients all lunch," Damar java honestly "You yourself why not work and even wander in the mall during the day?"

"There's a bit of a problem and I'm allowed to go home first" Annisa replied with a smile.

"You all eat?" tawar Damar's.

"Byeah, I happen to be hungry, too,"

They walked to a restaurant that provides Japanese menus in the mall.

"How's your relationship with the Gita?" annisa asked as they were waiting for lunch. Actually only Annisa who had lunch, Damar just accompany.

"Gita? Gita who?" damar parrots.

"Aren't you close to my friend Gita?"

"I? When am I close to your friend?" damar was getting confused.

Annisa pulls out her phone and searches for the photos of Damar and Gita that Gita sent her a while ago.

Damar was surprised when the accidental meeting was made Gita as if they were close.

"A little advice for you, it's good not to pick on friends, but it's even better to be friends with people who are kind and not two-faced like that!" damar gave advice.

"Open two how?"

"He's good in front of you for sure, but behind you you don't know what he really is!" damar.

Then Annisa recounted the incident during the anniversary of work some time ago, Damar just listened to Annisa's words carefully.

"Be careful when it works like this, not everyone who is good to you is really well-meaning" Damar again gave advice.

When the food had reached the table finally Annisa could take off the mask she was wearing to eat, Damar was immediately surprised to see Annisa's cheeks were slightly bruised and reddish.

"Why cheek? You fighting?" ask Damar curiously. Annisa nodded.

"Why did it get like that?" damar asked as he extended his hand to touch Annisa's cheek.

Getting such treatment Annisa reflex back his seat, Damar also pulled back the hand that had held Annisa's cheek.

"Still sick?" ask Damar.

"It's still a little bit, but tomorrow is also gone" replied Annisa.

"Why is it like that?"

"I don't know where my fault lies, all the employees are talking bad things about me just because I'm a widow" Annisa replied honestly, instantly his appetite disappeared as he remembered the thing that had been in his realm.

"I'm sorry," Damar suddenly said sincerely. Annisa looked up to see her ex-husband.

"If I'm to be honest I'm so sorry to divorce you and make you have to bear such a burden" Damar said as he stared deeply at Annisa.

"If the opportunity exists, I want to get everything right with you, want to make you happy, want to protect you, want to do everything with you even I want to age with you, too, and if allowed I want to get married again to you" Damar said.
