The Secretaries
CHAPTER 22
A few days ago when Shani was still in his hometown Darren had just been engaged to a girl who had the status of the son of a friend of Wirawan. Darren has never met the girl of his choice. However, Wirawan and Fiona secretly promised to meet and agree with his friend to make the engagement as soon as possible.
And it came to pass, 3 days since Shani began taking leave from Argantara Group, Darren was very forced to follow the will of his father and mother to get engaged to the girl he did not love. Darren must also take advantage of that moment to forget about Shani. Maybe marrying another girl can make him stop loving her.
...◦○⭕○◦...
Day by day walking. Since his talk with Darren at that time, Shani became a different person. Jia and Andra feel Shani's change in attitude that is more reserved, closed, and rarely willing to gather with them.
Shani and Darren's communication has completely changed. They are both cold, and just talk about the context of the work. Language is back formal, greeting feels foreign, but their souls are equally languishing.
Darren hopes to release his feelings from Shani, but reality makes it difficult. Every day Shani visits her in the CEO's room. Although the girl only came with the files that she needed to recap or sign and then left, but it made it harder for Darren to forget.
Darren's getting crazy made by curiosity. Every time he saw the girl's face and eyes, every time he saw despair. Darren should know how sad Shani is right now.
Shani just needs to say that she needs him, that she loves him, and that she wants to spend the rest of her life with him. Darren just wanted that sentence Shani said directly to him. But not because it is selfish, but Shani just can not. And the reason, whether when Shani will be able to express.
...◦○⭕○◦...
Shani's body slumped to the floor of her bedroom, sitting limp, her eyes glazed over. And in a few seconds, the tears began to drip, little by little, but continued. His gaze was unceasingly staring at that blue line 2 mark.
A test showed that Shani is now pregnant. His heart seemed to be pierced by a sharp sword. How's he gonna get through all this? Who will be responsible? Is it only you who will bear all the burdens?
Exactly 2 weeks after the incident that night, and shani positively pregnant. But Darren had already spread the wedding invitation a day ago to all Argantara Group employees, including Shani. Darren's getting married in 1 week.
Shani is really confused as to what to do. No choice, Shani can't ruin Darren's marriage. And Shani, he can't get rid of that fetus either.
...◦○⭕○◦...
Many Argantara Group employees are wondering. Tomorrow is their CEO's wedding day, but why is the boss even busy in the office and seems not to know about his happy day that just counts the hours? Darren really doesn't care about that.
And this morning around 9 o'clock Shani suddenly felt dizzy. His body felt strange, and he decided to make a warm tea in the pantry. Just stirring a glass of tea in the glass, suddenly Shani wanted to vomit.
Darren who accidentally passed in front of the pantry door found Shani out of there by covering her mouth and holding her stomach. Shani could not bear the nausea until she did not realize that she had just passed Darren. Darren starts following Shani's steps to the toilet.
Darren suddenly becomes alarmed while eavesdropping on Shani's voice which seems to be vomiting. And about 5 minutes later, Shani came out of that toilet room. He was shocked when his gaze met Darren's gaze.
But Shani's underpowered body begins to stagger crumbling. And swiftly, Darren caught him. Shani fainted in the man's arms. Darren's face froze as if what he feared would happen. As soon as he shook his head to wake up, Darren continued to lift Shani's body and took her to the hospital.
Some employees who saw the scene of Darren carrying Shani's body with an anxious look began to wonder. But Darren who was so agitated just thought about the state of Shani. Darren doesn't care about the strange gazes of his employees, he just has to care about Shani's circumstances.
Darren puts Shani in the front seat of his car. And with a hurry he starts driving Shani to the hospital. Darren's right hand was busy driving, and his left hand was firmly grasping Shani's right hand.
...◦○⭕○◦...
Shani regained consciousness as soon as she was laid to a hospital bed to be examined.
“Shani,” call Darren staring at the girl's twinkle in the eye while rubbing her head. How relieved Darren is to see Shani wake up from his stupor. He's grateful.
“And you're out now,” Shani told Darren.
Darren just stared into the eyes of the girl who seemed to hate him.
“Out!” shani exclaimed at Darren and involuntarily shed tears.
“Mr, please come out first. Let me check the patient for a while,” said the doctor mediated.
And Darren finally complied. Darren out of the room. And Shani starts getting checked out by a doctor.
...◦○⭕○◦...
“So right Doc I'm pregnant?” shani asked to make sure if the doctor's diagnosis of her 2-bodied self was correct.
“He's right, Mom. Pregnancy New mother in early trimester. So nausea, dizziness, and natural things that you feel at this time is normal.”
Shani listens to the doctor's words, but her mind is stunned. Everything has been proven right. Shani is pregnant, and she doesn't know what to do. Defend her fetus by holding Darren accountable, or defend her fetus with her own capabilities? But all the consequences of those 2 choices are equally severe.
“I do not give any medicine because of the condition of the fetus and the state of the mother is fine. I only recommend that you always consume something nutritious. And do not forget to drink pregnant milk.”
Shani doesn't care what the doctor tells her. His mind just kept wandering out of nowhere. He's still trying to accept the reality, but it's hard.
And after the examination ended, Shani walked out of the room. There Darren was still faithfully waiting for him. The man sat on a waiting chair staring at him who had just come out after the examination.
Darren approached Shani who was staying by the door. “What did the doctor say? You're not pa-pa?” tanya Darren is still in anxious mode. His response was to hold Shani's hand.
“I'm not pa-pa.” Shani replied, continuing to take her hand off Darren's hand. “You can go now,” he continued to chase away the man.
“Neg. I want to know how you are.” Darren refuses, and rushes into the examination room to see the doctor who examined Shani.
No 5 minutes Darren's been out of that room. Shani is gone, and her strong hopes are let down. Darren thought Shani was pregnant, but the doctor said, Shani just got windy and exhausted.
Shani does not want Darren to know the real situation. He asked the examining doctor to lie to Darren if he asked for the results. Shani thinks she would be very evil to tell Darren that she is pregnant, but tomorrow is Darren's wedding day.
Shani just doesn't want to hurt the woman, the woman who will be with Darren at the front tomorrow. Reportedly the woman is very good and close to perfect, very different from her. Shani does not care if he will suffer under the happiness of others. Yes, it's better that way, than he who feels relieved over the grief of the innocent. Shane just has to be strong.
