The Life Journey of NAURA
#63
The number of female employees in the marketing department is many. When they gather, they like to gossip.
In the afternoon, the problem that occurred this morning in the marketing department had spread in the company.
Naura's face was swollen from a slap from Marsha this morning. As she went to the toilet, she heard some female employees were talking about the problem that occurred this morning in the marketing department.
"Actually, what's the problem?"
"I heard, there's an employee who asked for permission today but it's a female employee and not a male?"
"I guess, this matter must be Marsha and Mr. Jayus the marketing manager deliberately working together wanted to teach Naura a lesson."
"Steaching?"
"Naura's only been working here for a few days, has she made Mr Jayus angry?"
"Everyone knows what Jayus is. Previously, the matter of him being rushed to the hospital until asking for permission, hear it's Naura's doing."
"It turns out Naura can be cruel too?"
"But I think Marsha is more ruthless. He slapped Naura, even from a distance, I can still hear her slap. Whether there was any grudge between them, it could slap so cruelly?"
Naura stood leaning against the wall of the toilet. Waiting until it was quiet outside, he opened the toilet door and went out.
He stood in front of the sink, staring at his face. Marsha's former slap swelled a little bruised. Looks, a little awful.
Marsha slapped him very hard.
It seemed like these few days, Naura had already made Marsha angry.
All right then! Just wait, look who will end up laughing!
...
At lunchtime, Naura was just about to go for lunch.
Just standing up, the phone in his bag rang. He pulled out his phone and saw 'Samuel' calling him.
"What else is it?" Naura asked as soon as she picked up the phone from him while furrowing her brows.
"Hurry out, we go eat together. I'm waiting for you at the company door." Aaron said as if not hearing Naura's tone of voice that sounded annoyed and impatient.
After speaking, Aaron hung up on him.
Naura looked at the screen of her phone then ruffled her hair because she felt very upset. He had to go out to meet 'Samuel'.
When exiting the Affandi company door, Naura immediately saw the luxury car owned by 'Samuel'. Previously, he had opened the internet and found out about the man's car.
It costs hundreds of billions. Although at that time 'Samuel' said that the price of the car was "not expensive", for Naura the price was exorbitant.
Naura looked around, not a few people were talking about 'Samuel' car'. He lowered his head, walking quickly towards her.
But, his steps stopped because there was another car that was currently passing by.
The car stopped in front of him.
The driver opened the back door and Merlin got out of the car.
Since the first time Naura lied and did not keep her promise to Merlin to go to the restaurant for lunch together at that time, Naura never again met Merlin.
Merlin told the driver to take down two boxes filled with food, then turned his head and accidentally saw Naura standing next to his car.
Merlin furrowed his brows, looking extremely surprised upon seeing Naura. He did not believe what he saw. "You...Naura?"
Naura grinned. Smiled with that forced smile, looking like he was mocking. "Who do you think, who else?"
Living under the same roof for approximately twenty years, Merlin, as her biological mother, was unable to recognize her own daughter.
Not only that, Merlin heard and saw the face change on Naura, to the point of ignoring the swelling on her face that was still not gone.
Merlin approached and looked closely at Naura. "You...are you having facial surgery? Therefore, when I take you out to eat, you don't come?"
Right now, Naura who wanted to smile, could not smile. The look on his face was clearly a deep sadness. "Mom, I'm Naura. Since I was a child I have been like this. But mom always said, I can't be prettier than you. So, the more I grow up, the worse I make myself."
"Where possible! These few years, you've been....." Merlin stopped his words. He did not dare to believe Naura's words. How could Naura possibly make herself ugly all this time?
Naura stared fixedly at Merlin with a look full of sadness. "Because I want to be a good daughter to Mom. To be able to make Mom happy, from childhood until I grow up, what you ask, I must do."
Merlin's lips trembled and was unable to speak anymore.
She still remembers when Naura was a child, Naura a very beautiful, obedient and smart little girl. But after that, the value became ugly. The bigger it gets the uglier it gets. Before that, indeed Merlin had told Naura that she should not be prettier and more powerful than her brother.
But Merlin still wants to defend himself not to be blamed. "That's all your own whim. You can't blame me!"
Naura was glued for a moment. His eyes were full of sadness. "Mom, there's something I want to ask Mom. Am I your real daughter?"
"Naura, you....."
"Let's get in the car! We go eat!"
Suddenly there was a voice of a man interrupting Merlin's words.
Naura looked up and saw 'Samuel' who had been standing next to her since sometime.
Body posture 'Samuel' tall strapping and dashing. When he saw Naura, he had to lower his head.
With her eyes red, Naura looked at him. Her pair of eyes were so beautiful, almost covered by a puddle of tears. It looks so sad.
Especially Aaron's gaze fell on Naura's swollen and bruised face. Highlight Aaron's eyes instantly turned cold and sharp. But, with a moment back to how it was. Aaron with a face without expression.
Merlin glued and saw the man who pulled Naura away. He knows that man. He's familiar with 'Samuel'. The man once came to the Affandi family home. Why would he be able to pick up Naura?
Is it possible that they are both......?
Merlin remembered what they had done in the car in front of Affandi's house. Merlin called them immediately. "Wait a minute!"
Aaron and Naura stop and turn around to see Merlin.
"Naura, the food I brought for your father and brother is quite a lot. Would you like to eat together?" Ask Merlin.
Just opened his mouth wanting to reject Merlin, but 'Samuel' had already spoken first. "Can. Incidentally, I haven't eaten either."
"Eum, here....." The food Merlin brought was actually only enough for three people.
But, 'Samuel' is Aaron Daffa's cousin's sister, he doesn't want to offend her. Suddenly, he didn't know what to say.
Naura cluelessly stared at 'Samuel' and slowly elbowed her stomach.
Aaron held onto Naura's shoulder hard. He looked down and looked at her, gesturing with the look of an eye.
The strange thing was, Naura was really made safe by the gaze of 'Samuel' eyes'. He calmly stood beside her and said nothing.
During her half-life Merlin became a housewife, in addition to spending money on berias to take the heart of Dawn Affandi, she could also pay little attention to the situation.
He knew that 'Samuel' could not be underestimated. So, he gestured to his driver, telling his driver to tell Dawn.
Quickly, Fajr came downstairs and came out followed by Marsha behind him.
Marsha was immediately seen tidying up her makeup. The makeup on her face looked a little thick.
As soon as he saw 'Sameul', the look in his eyes locked as if he was looking at his beloved item.
Naura noticed Marsha's gaze leading to 'Samuel, she quickly stood in front of 'Samuel' as if Naura wanted to block Marsha's gaze which kept on 'Samuel'.
