PAST VIDEO SCANDALS
Personal Assistant

Evelyn gasped at Bagas' words. He could hardly believe his reflection at this time, until he finally asked to make sure his hearing was related to Indhira.

" Have you found Indhira?" evelyn asked with a choking tone in her throat.

" I haven't met him in person, but I've found out. He's in Jakarta. I even called him." Bagas told me the information he had gathered about Indhira.

Although in the dim lighting, Evelyn could see the sparkling Bagas face when she said that the man had found news about Indhira.

Imagine, just heard the news Bagas already looks happy. Especially if Bagas meets Indhira directly. I don't know what the happy guy will be.

Evelyn pulled her hand under the table. With fingers squeezing each other, indicating he was being hit by anxiety. Anxiety about the future of his relationship with Bagas that is like going to sink.

Evelyn began to understand the sentence was not pleasant news for her that Bagas meant. Instantly, he also felt that something would happen to his engagement bond with Bagas.

" What does this have to do with me?" evelyn mencoha asked in a calm manner. Though his heart was immediately chaotic and agitated with the news delivered by Bagas.

" You know I've been feeling guilty about him all along. I want to make amends to Indhira" said Bagas.

" What does all this mean, Bagas?" Evelyn knew where the Bagas talks were going. However, Evelyn hoped that her fear would not come true.

" I'm sorry, Evelyn. You know what I feel for her!? I've been shutting myself off from other women because I always think about her. I want to meet him, apologize and make up for what I've done to him." Bagas revealed what he really wanted.

" Does this mean you want to end our engagement?" Evelyn instantly guessed the intent of Bagas' speech.

" I'm sorry, Evelyn. I know you're a good woman. You don't deserve a breng sek guy like me. Even after we got engaged, I kept thinking about other women."

Even though Bagas said it. However, Evelyn already knew the true meaning of Bagas' words.

" I know this will disappoint you, Evelyn. But I think I should take this attitude so that you don't feel disappointed even more deeply, if I continue our engagement. Because my heart and mind cannot turn away from Indhira." Bagas said his reason for wanting to end his engagement to Evelyn, citing not wanting to hurt Evelyn's feelings any deeper.

" If we force our engagement to go all the way to marriage, we both suffer, Evelyn. Maybe you'll just get my status as my wife. But, you can't have my body and my heart." Bagas even said bad things if they kept up with what their parents wanted.

Evelyn stared fixedly at Bagas's bead eyes with her eyeballs condensing.

" You haven't met him in person. Why did you immediately decide to end our engagement, Bagas? Are you sure Indhira will accept you? What if she already has a boyfriend or is married?" Evelyn wondered why Bagas had made the decision to end their engagement so quickly.

" My heart feels that Indhira will accept me and forgive me" Bagas said with confidence.

* I know this is disappointing you, Evelyn. But I can't keep lying about my true feelings. Because my wish is to be with the woman I love" he continued.

The words spoken by Bagas not only hurt, but hurt Evelyn's heart until tears fell on Evelyn's cheek.

" Excuse me ..." Waitress who served Bagas and Evelyn came to deliver the food and drinks they ordered.

" Thank you" Bagas told the waitress.

" I accept if you end up hating me, Evelyn. Because I was a loser who had not dared to go against my parents' will, to finally bring you into this matter." Bagas continued to pass on his guilt to Evelyn.

" I won't accept our engagement break up, Bagas!" Evelyn wiped away her tears that kept flowing down her cheeks.

Bagas snorted at Evelyn's rejection of her decision to end their engagement. She had indeed expected that it would not be easy for Evelyn to accept her decision.

" I don't want our engagement to break up, before you get any certainty if Indhira really accepts you and forgives you, Bagas!" evelyn said next.

Evelyn's statement confused Bagas. For what else Evelyn kept him, when clearly she could not give her love to the woman.

***

For two days Indhira rested at home. He was more focused on taking care of Aunt Sandra than continuing to lock himself in the room. It seems like hiding inside the house is the safest place right now and far from the evil plans of the people who want to drop his good name.

And this afternoon Adam suddenly came to his father-in-law's house to fetch Indhira on Azkiah's orders. Indhira himself did not know where to take him? Finally, Adam's car took him away to a boutique. The boutique she thought belonged to Azkia because she often heard from her partner at the cafe who said that her boss' wife had a boutique business.

" Come, Ra!" Adam broke Indhira's daydream staring at the boutique's name on the neon sign.

" I-yes, Mas." Indhira rushes off the seat belt and gets out of the car and walks to the Alexa Butique building which has now been renovated to three floors.

Indhira also walked after Adam until they arrived in front of the working room of the boutique owner who was none other than Azkia.

" Sir, is Kia there? I'm Adam, Mas Raffa's employee." While dealing with Azkia's secretary, Adam introduces himself to Azkia's secretary named Wanda.

Wanda watched Adam and Indhira alternately before she finally entered Azkia's study, and soon returned out.

" Please, Ma'am, Ma'am ..." Wanda invited Adam and Indhira into Azkia's room.

" Lunch, Miss Kia."

" Lunch, Mom."

Adam and Indhira greeted Azkia who was still sitting in front of her desk in unison.

" Oh, hi, Indhira ..." Azkia just greeted Indhira. He even got up from his chair then approached towards Indhira. " You how are you?" ask Azkia later.

" Thank God be kind, ma'am." said Indhira slowly with his head lowered, because he was still ashamed of his past which was a disgrace known to Azkia.

" Sir Adam can go now." Azkia allowed Adam to leave.

" good, Ma'am. I'm sorry then." Adam immediately say goodbye half 'expelled' subtly by the wife of the boss.

" Here sit, Indhira!" Azkia pulls Indhira's hand, taking Indhira to sit on the sofa with her. Azkia even folded one leg under her bo kong with one hand supporting her head with her elbows pressing against the sofa's backrest. It is like dealing with your own friends.

" Sir Adam said you were sick yesterday?" ask Azkia later.

" I apologize to Ms. Kia and Mr. Raffa for yesterday's commotion and for my past" Indhira said. Indhira realized the events of last weekend must have caused a commotion in the cafe.

" Ck, don't think about it!" Azkia shook her hand into the air. " I understand how you feel, because I have also been in the same position as you. Although my fate is not as tragic as yours," he continued later.

Azkia's words made Indhira raise her gaze, now looking at Azkia, finding out what Azkia said earlier.

" I have also made a disgrace in the past with my husband, Indhira. We also sinned, had sex outside of marriage until I became pregnant with Naufal" Azkia opened a story of her past.

Indhira was flabbergasted to hear confessions from Azkia about his boss' past, who had also committed the same sins as he did.

" So then, someone with malicious intent wanted to trap me by putting the war drug into my drink. They even hired two men to 'pronounce'. They are also ready to record the illicit activity and then spread it to the public. But, fortunately it was by chance that my husband came to my aid, until I was able to escape from the bad guys. Even though I ended up sinning with my husband until I got pregnant." Azkia opens up the story of her past without anything being covered up on Indhira.

" If my husband doesn't help me then, maybe my fate will be the same as yours, Indhira. Could be the case of my viral video first circulated before your video." Azkia closed her story.

Hearing Azkia's story, Indhira really did not expect if the boss had suffered a fate that was almost the same as him.

" Sorry, Mom. I didn't expect Mom to have experienced almost the same thing as me." Indhira said her sentence with a concerned tone.

" Yes, Indhira. Although the case is different, the point is we still commit the same sin," said Azkia who had also felt fear when she knew she was pregnant. He felt sinful and afraid because he had tarnished the good name of his family, especially his father, a lecturer who had a good reputation.

" But we must not continue to be swept away by the mistakes of the past, Indhira. As long as we have repented, we have improved ourselves to live better. Rest assured that happiness will be achieved in the future." Azkia tried to encourage Indhira to never give up on the wave of trials in her life.

" I have heard many stories of your past from Adam and his wife. I also heard from Fero, how you have been doing at the cafe. Fero said if you can establish a good cooperation with your coworkers. I think it's very unfair if people keep discrediting you just because of one mistake in your past that you don't really want to do." Azkia who had experienced the same incident with Indhira can understand how to suffer it to be Indhira at this time.

The words spoken by Azkia certainly made Indhira feel moved, even to the point of shedding tears. So many people care and can understand the problems that have happened to him so far, even though they do not have blood relations with him. Why his own family. The younger sister of her father hated her and was being bad to her? That's what Indhira never understood until this second.

" Thank you, Mom. Thank you Mom and Dad for understanding and accepting my condition." With water, Indhira expressed her gratitude from the bottom of her heart because of Azkia's wise attitude as well as Raffasya.

" Not crying anymore! Not tired from yesterday you cry?" Azkia rubbed Indhira's arm trying to strengthen Indhira.

" I'm sorry, Mom." Indhira hurriedly wiped her tears.

" Oh yeah, the plan is you still want to work in La Grande or not?" ask Azkia then to Indhira.

" I'm up to Mom and Dad to decide." Indhira handed the decision to his boss, as he was not entitled to vote.

" You can still waitress and meet a lot of people?" ask Azkia back.

Indhira did not immediately reply, honestly he was still afraid of dealing with many people including his coworkers who he believed already knew about his past.

" It's up to Bu Kia and Pak Raffa's decision" Indhira said.

" Do you want to work here?" tanya Azkia offered the job in her shop to Indhira.

Indhira rounded his eyes to hear the job offer that Azkia had given him.

" Working in this boutique, Mom?" indhira asked still not believing her hearing.

" Yes, you want to not? You'll be my personal assistant here." Azkia offers a new job to Indhira. " Later you can also help the work of Ms. Wanda." Azkia pointed outside the window of her room where her secretary's desk was.

" If you work here, I feel safer from the distractions of people who want to disrupt your life." Azkia gave her reason for placing Indhira in her boutique.

" I'm up to Mom. I'm still allowed to work at Mum and Dad's place, I've been thanking you very much." Back Indhira expressed her gratitude for being continuously helped by Azkia.

" Oh yes, if you agree. Tomorrow you start working here. The shop is open from nine to six in the afternoon. No problem, right?" tanya Azkia asked for Indhira's willingness to follow her working hours.

" Oh, no, Mom! I don't care" said Indhira glad because he is still trusted to work with Azkia.

" Oh yeah, you're sorry, you're going to walk here? Wear Ojol. I have a subscription if I deliver customer orders. I'll give you the number. So you can order him offline just as he's safe to get here." Azkia really cares about Indhira until the safety and security of Indhira he thinks.

" good, Mom. Thank you" Indhira said. " I will ride my own bike later" he continued.

" Oh yes, then. Hmmm, have you eaten yet? We'll just eat outside, yuk! I want to eat Sundanese food again! You accompany me, yuk!" Azkia got up from the sofa and walked over to her desk to tidy up the table and put the phone in her bag.

While still from the sofa, Indhira noticed Azkia who was cleaning the workbench. Without feeling the arch is seen at the corner of his lips because he feels happy always sent good people who have been helping him.

Meanwhile in Bagas office ...

" Excuse me, Sir. There's a guest who claims to be your friend, wants to meet." Bagas' secretary told Bagas that he was planning to go out for lunch.

" My friend, who's Esther?" tanya Bagas with a frown.

" His name is Mr. Benny, sir." said Esther later.

" Benny?" Bagas immediately rushed out to meet his schoolmate first.

" Hey, Ben." said Bagas to Benny who was sitting waiting on the sofa waiting.

" Hey, Gas." Benny got up and approached Bagas until they hugged because they had not met for long.
