The Secretaries
CHAPTER 29
It was morning, and Zaila seemed busy in the kitchen helping Bi Darsih, the housekeeper Wirawan had hired at his house, to make breakfast. Zaila is actually confused and anxious because until this moment Darren has not come home. Darren's phone is also still out of touch.
“Aw,” exclaimed Zaila suddenly held onto her stomach. “Aw, my stomach,” he continued complaining making Bi Darsih start approaching him.
“Why, Non?” bi Darsih asked in panic when she found Zaila's expression in pain.
“My stomach hurts, Bi. Aw...” Zaila began to cry as she continued to hold her stomach.
Bi Darsih immediately added a rush to hear the expression of the woman. “Mrs..., Mister...!” pekik Bi Darsih calls Fiona and Wirawan. The old woman did not know what to do to help Zaila who was in pain.
Hose not long Wirawan and Fiona also arrived to approach the maid and her maid who shouted calling in the kitchen room.
“Zaila why, Bi?” fiona asked Bi Darsih while holding Zaila with a worried expression.
“My stomach hurts, Ma.” Zaila answered Fiona.
“Bring Zaila to room, Ma. Let Papa call the doctor,” Wirawan said to his wife.
Zaila was trained to his room by Fiona and Bi Darsih, then Wirawan quickly called the doctor to check on his ex.

“Where, Doc?” fiona asked after the doctor looked finished examining Zaila's stomach.
“Bu Zaila and its content is okay. His stomach ache was only due to mild stomach cramps. Pregnant young is usually normal. Ms. Zaila just needs a lot of rest and avoid stress,” explained the doctor.
Fiona and Wirawan breathed a sigh of relief, and so did Zaila, the woman was so grateful that her fetus was fine.
“But if Bu Zaila often feels stomach cramps like this, you should immediately check to the hospital. Fear there is a serious problem or what,” said the doctor ended with a smile.
“Iya, Doc. Thank you,” said Fiona returned the doctor's smile.
“Then I excuse you first.” The doctor also took a break.
“Let me inter,” bargain Wirawan full of hospitality.
Wirawan also drove the doctor of Argantara family subscription to leave his residence. Meanwhile, Fiona still accompanies Zaila who is in bed. The woman gently rubbed her mantel forehead looking so dear.
“Ma, Mas Darren to where?” ask Zaila to Fiona.
Fiona is confused as to what to answer. Her husband told her that Darren had been staying at the apartment last night, but he could not reveal it to Zaila. Fiona is afraid that saying it will make Zaila hurt and feels that Darren does not care about her being pregnant young.
“Udah, you don't think about your husband just yet. He'll be home soon. You have to rest a lot and not be much thought,” persuaded Fiona to try to calm Zaila's anxiety.
Zaila kept silent and obeyed her mother-in-law.

“I'm sorry, sir. If there is anything please contact me again,” tell the doctor to smile at Wirawan.
Wirawan and his doctor were standing right in the front door of his house.
“Iya, Doc. Once again thank you.”
“Oh, my son is in the apartment. Soon also home.” Wirawan stood with his smile.
The doctor fell silent for a moment trying to remember something. “Apartment?” he kept staring at Wirawan again. “About a few months ago Mr. Darren contacted me to come to his apartment. I checked a woman. But I forgot his name.”
“Female?” Wirawan is confused.
“Iya, Sir. That woman seems very close to Mr. Darren.”
“Doctor sure?” asked Wirawan hesitatingly to believe.
“Sure.” The doctor remembered. “If it's not wrong that Monday morning. I heard Mr Darren has been appointed CEO, right now? Well, that seems to have happened before Mr. Darren became CEO.”
Wirawan began to suspect. “What is that woman named Shani?” guess he suddenly asked the doctor.
The doctor remembered. “Iya. It looks like his name is Shani.”
Wirawan. The man began to raging with strange shadows. Wirawan is the type of person who has a sharp memory. Before Darren became CEO, on Monday morning, and right where Shani was once absent from work. Wirawan's mind started to become negative.
“Yes already, I'm sorry first yes, Mr.”
Wirawan just smiled indifferently responding to the doctor's parting. And the doctor actually left Wirawan's house. While Wirawan, he was still staring at the doorway of his house trying to digest the strange information he had just obtained.

While at Shani's residence, Darren was seen eating breakfast with the woman. Darren chewed his food slowly while looking at Shani who was drinking milk pregnant women and reading a schedule book. Suddenly, Darren smiled wryly.
“Maybe I will be the happiest person in the world if I can marry you,” Darren chirps make Shani turn her head.
Shani and Darren also clashed with each other by being blocked by the distance of a dining table in front of him. Both hearts are equally broken. From last night until this morning, ranging from sleeping together to breakfast together, but everything is like a hallucination.
Their hearts have both. But the bitter reality that makes the feeling is like the earth and the sky are equally complementary but the facts are far apart. The mistake of both makes a new problem that is increasingly felt to be increasingly heavy to bear.
Shani is again busy with her schedule book. “You just need to defend your marriage with Zaila. I'm sure he can also make you happy,” Shani said without looking at Darren in the slightest.
“But I don't want to lose you,” Darren said.
Shani looked back at Darren. “Do not be selfish. Zaila needs you more than me. And I don't really need your help either. I can get through all this alone. Without you.”
“Enough, Shani.” Darren shook his gaze. “I will be responsible with your pregnancy. We're getting married and-”
“Now!” Shani interrupts. “I do not want to marry a man who already has a wife. I don't want to be the second, the mistress, or the destroyer of your household. I don't want to, Darren.”
Darren threw a face reluctant to respond to Shani's words. Then he left the house. Shani can only freeze in her seat with teary eyes.
Darren leaves Shani's house. His black sedan was neatly parked on the street in front of the woman's house. A few minutes ago Darren had told his men to take his car from the apartment parking lot. It was almost 9am, so Darren had to hurry home. This time Darren will be completely ready with everything.
