Secret Denis
Fifty Eight

Rania had just entered her mother's residence when two men came out of her mother's study. He recognized the two men as his mother's confidant. Over the past few months, her mother has spent more time at home. She, who had been in control of the family company since her husband died, worked more at home. For office business, he left it to his children. But not a hundred percent.

Since her health is often compromised, she prefers to get all the information through people she has trusted. It sometimes makes the disappointment of his two sons who are actually already so responsible for the continuity of the company. Therefore, the relationship between the mother and her two children had experienced a rift. Especially with Rania who did not get along for a long time.

But since her mother was often sick, Rania began to be soft on her mother. Especially when his mother showed her regret for Denis' departure from home. Rania is more sympathetic towards her mother.

Now he's back to visit his mother. Although there is a sense of displeasure with the attitude of his mother who still trusts others more than him and his brother, as well as his brother, but they finally had to accept the reason that his mother had told him that he did not want to add to the workload of his children. As long as he can, he will do it himself. And it is true that Aryanti, Rania's mother, including hardworking women. He did not want to just sit on his hands and foot in the house. He always wanted to be involved with all the company's affairs. Even now the pace is getting limited.

Rania knocked on her mother's office door before entering. The door opens from the inside featuring a woman who is almost the same age as Rania. She is her mother's personal nurse.

The woman smiled politely when she saw who had knocked on the door. Rania is allowed to enter, while she closes the door again after Rania is in the room.

"Ro." Aryanti smiled looking at her daughter. Rania approached her mother who was sitting in her great chair and kissed the old woman's hand gently.

"How are you, Mom."

"As you can see."

"I see mom's getting better now. I'm so happy to see a mother who's back on her feet."

"Mom will be more excited if you come here with happy tidings."

Rania closed her lips. He should have come with happy news. But it turns out, what he expected has not been able to realize.

"You could say I brought happy news. But it's a pity that I haven't been able to make you happy."

"Whatchu mean? Don't make a fool of it when you talk to your parents." Aryanti frowned. His eyes were staring at his daughter.

"I met with Icha."

"What's? You met Icha? When's? Where is he now? Why don't you take him home?" Aryanti straightened her body. Her eyes sparkled happily looking at Rania.

Rania took a deep breath and exhaled slowly.

"I can't convince him to go home yet. I'm sorry, Mom."

Aryanti's face changed. Rona is disappointed that she can't hide.

"Where is he now?"

"One place issue. Do you know why we've been having trouble finding her all this time?"

"Why?"

"Because he lives in the house of the Arga Dinata family. He was good friends with the son of the late Arga Dinata."

"Arga Dinata our business partner?"

"Yes. All this time we've been looking for Icha through her friends on the street. But it turns out he was in a different environment. Of course we won't be able to find it "

"Then let's get him out of the house." Take Aryanti with enthusiasm.

"Unfortunately, he is not living there at the moment. I don't know what's causing it."

"And you let him back on the streets?"

"He still doesn't want to go home, Mom. We can't force it."

Aryanti. Her eyes were staring at Rania. He sighed softly.

"yeah. There has been at least some progress in our search over the years. Give him a little time to realize that he still has a family waiting for him."

"Where are you?"

Ask Andres after saying his regards.

"I'm with mom. Do you need anything?"

"none. It's just, tonight I want to take you to dinner."

"really? Aren't you busy?"

"I know you're still sad because of your meeting with Icha the other day. For that I want to cheer you up a little."

"You're so nice, baby. Thank you in advance. Hurry home, I'll wait for you."

"I'll try to get home fast. Oya, I should have met Alex son of Arga Dinata today. But she canceled the meeting because she was preparing for her engagement later that night. Only his assistant came to see me. I was trying to find information about Icha."

"She just canceled the meeting?"

"Yes, that's it. Looks like she put her engagement so much first that she canceled the meeting with me. But it's okay, so I have time to finish some other work. So I can go home soon to see my wife.."

Rania laughed spoiled hearing her husband's words that sounded very sweet in his ears.

"All right then. Happy working my husband. I'll wait for you." Rania said in a seductive tone. No doubt his behavior made Andres sigh because of anxiety with his wife. Too bad they were just talking on the phone. I don't know what happens if the two meet.

Rania hung up the phone with a smile on her lips. Without realizing it, Aryanti sneered at the behavior of her daughter. He still doesn't like Andres. Andres is the man she chose for Rania.

Alex was very upset. He thought he was already free from Viola's interference. But it turns out that the girl has used her papa to be alone with Alex. When lunchtime arrives, her father Viola calls Alex and asks her to meet Viola at a boutique.

At first Alex refuses subtly by giving the same reason she gave to Viola. But with various excuses eventually Alex could not refuse again the request of his future father-in-law. I don't know what Viola said to his papa so the man tried to persuade Alex out loud.

With a heavy heart Alex left the office after giving various directions at length to Faisal. Especially about the plan of his meeting with an important client of the company that he had to unpleasantly cancel. He asks Faisal to meet the important client and apologizes for his absence.

Finally, Alex also came to the boutique that Viola meant. The shop does not belong to anyone else. Except Viola's own. The boutique is located in a mall in the center of the capital and has been pioneered by Viola since he graduated in fashion abroad.

When Alex arrived, Viola was actually already very upset about waiting too long. But he had to display his best smile for his potential fiancee which he painstakingly got.

Viola excitedly showed Alex some beautiful dresses. All his own plans. Alex simply responds to her and leaves it entirely to Viola to choose the dress she will wear.

After the selection of the engagement ring by Faisal, Viola felt satisfied with Alex's presence to see the dress she was going to wear even though Alex did not clearly choose a dress for her. At least his disappointment was slightly cured.

After choosing a dress that took quite a while, Viola whined to invite Alex to accompany her to lunch. Alex resolutely rejected it because he did not want it. Reasonably having lunch with Pak Yunus and Faisal in his office earlier, Alex really did not want to waste his time with Viola.

"I'm sorry I had to go back to the office immediately." Alex said as gently as possible.

"alright. I'm not going to force you to stay here. After we get married, we'll spend a lot of time together." Viola embraced Alex's arm. Touching his head on Alex's boat.

Alex slowly pulled his hand which was in the winding of Viola's hand.

"I have to go now."

"OKAY. I'll see you tonight." Viola smiled broadly. Her eyes were full of glints of happiness imagining her engagement to Alex later tonight.

The happy day he had been waiting for so long had finally come as well. Once she's engaged to Alex, then everything will be easy. Just one more step later he'll have Alex for all eternity.

Viola stared at the man in his heart until he disappeared from the sight of his eyes.
