THE SECRETARY'S BED TEMPTATION
Chapter 26~

~WHAT ARE YOU REALLY CHEATING ON?

###

As planned, today Sarah's mother will take Kasih to meet her biological mother at the Hospital. However, without Galang coming with them because they have to go home to Amara first to take something. Both will follow from there.

Amara wants to show her something she got when Maya gives her Love, she hopes that Maya will remember the princess she threw away when she sees the item. Amara always kept the object without Love's knowledge because she did not want to make the princess wonder about where she came from.

Upon arrival at home, Amara immediately entered and met bi Mina who had just finished washing.

"Mom, go home alone? Where's love? How come, don't you come?" ask him while flirting around the house that still looks lonely. There's no sign that Kasih's coming home with Amara. However, his gaze pointed towards the figure pad that was standing in front of the door. "Sir Galang?" Bi Mina looked at Amara questioningly.

Looking at Galang and bi Mina alternately, then Amara said, "Please don't come, Bi. Later if there is a good time I will tell my aunt. Now I'm in a hurry. Auntie please make a drink for Mr. Galang," pinta Amara later.

Bi Mina chose to nod obediently and urgently asked more. "Good, Ma'am." He then returned to the kitchen after inviting Galang to sit, while Amara immediately headed to the room.

The center of attention of Amara upon arrival in the room was directly fixed on an old wooden cabinet in the corner of the room that was not much. He then opened the closet door and pulled the small drawer inside. Amara sighed for a moment before grabbing the circular object and taking it.

"May Ma'am Maya remember this. And he also remembered with Love," muttered Amara while looking at the gold-plated round object with teary eyes. The thing commonly called the bracelet belongs to Love as an infant. Inside the bracelet there is a carving of the name of Love.

Since seven years ago Amara always kept it in the hope that one day Love can be reunited with his family. Amara never stopped praying for it and now her prayers are answered. Although the corner of his heart was not willing if he had to return Love to his biological family.

"After this you will find happiness, Love. You will meet your mother and your family. Mother is happy because Love can be reunited with those who love Love." Amara said while staring at the photo of Kasih when she was six months old.

He recalled the first time Kasih called her MOTHER. And, that Amara will never forget her whole life. The moment of his togetherness with Love when the boy for the first time can lie on his stomach and crawl will be the most beautiful memories in Amara's life. The cry of Love when midnight awoke, his whining as he asked for milk. All of that was still clearly imprinted in his memory. Seven years is not a short time. He takes care of Love with all his heart and all his body. Amara struggles to live out Love, giving her best to a daughter who is not her flesh and blood.

And, Amara was both happy and sad. Love is no longer his. The little angel is now with his family. Although Amara knew that the Pratama family asked him to continue to accompany Kasih until he recovered and grew up. However, Amara was self-conscious if it would not last long. He who is a nobody must leave immediately from the life of Love. Amara wants Kasih to learn to forget herself so she can calm down when she has to really let go of her daughter.

Ah, princess... Even today Amara still considers Kasih as her little daughter.

"What is this, Ra?" asked Galang who did not understand why Amara gave the bracelet to him.

"It's her bracelet love when she was a baby, sir. Inside there is a carving of the name of Love. It seemed like it was deliberately made by her mother," Amara replied in a sad tone and it caught the attention of the man who was currently standing before her.

Galang's eyebrows were rising when he realized something. The woman in front of him was crying. It was clearly visible from her slightly wet and puffy eyelids.

"You crying?" Galang was even interested in talking about Amara who was like crying. He forgot the golden bracelet that was still in his hand.

Clearly Amara was stunned and widened her eyes.

"W-what?" ask him confusedly.

"You've been crying?" Error repeating the question. This time without permission he rubbed the trail of tears still left on Amara's smooth cheeks.

Amara slightly flinched with a sudden touch of Galang. He reflexively shuffled backwards.

"Sa-I was just a flickering dust, sir." Swiping his cheeks in a quick motion without daring to stare at Galang. He just wanted to keep his distance from this superior.

Galang cleared a glance to dispel his throat that suddenly choked. Amara's movements that avoided her made her feel uneasy and ashamed. For some reason, he cared so much about this secretary that his hands were itching to wipe the cheek.

Nodding stiffly accompanied by rubbing his nape slowly, Galang then said,

"sorry. I had reflexes. Then we will go to the hospital immediately. Mommy and Love are waiting for us. Come on." Galang took a fast movement and did not want Amara dissolved in his shameless behavior. He walked out first.

Amara stared at Galang's back which was getting further away and came closer to the door. His gaze was so nanar with a struggling heart unclear. Unknowingly, he rubbed his own cheek and started walking after Galang.

Upon arrival in the car, Amara was shocked by the presence of dozens of journalists in her home. The reporters ran over and immediately asked him questions.

"Is this woman your affair, Mr Galang?"

"Is it because of her that your household is falling apart?"

"Is she your mistress, Mr Galang?"

"How come you're having an affair, Miss Vanila Pearce is having an affair?"

"Miss, since when have you had a relationship with Miss Vanila's husband? Can you tell me how far your relationship has gone?"

Amara shock is not playing with the various questions that corner her. The reporters gathered around him and asked him a lot of absurd questions. He was urged and accused for actions he did not do at all. The reporters did not think in the least with all the questions that might lead to slander.

"Surge! Move aside! Stopit! No one is pressing or asking that! You have no right to ask her that question. You've charged him without proof! Understood!" Galang felt indignant and angry at all the reporters who swarmed Amara and asked unreasonable questions.

One of the female reporters asked again.

"Why do you feel angry, sir? If indeed you do not have a relationship, why on the media there are so many news about you and this woman? Many times say if Your wife is cheating to get revenge because You were the first to cheat with Your secretary. Is that true? Please explain it to us."

The eyes widen in disbelief. "For what reason do I explain something that is not all true. It's all slander. My secretary and I have no relationship. We are just co-workers no more. And, regarding Vanilla's affair is a true fact. He's the one who cheated on you why you guys cornered me and vilified a woman's name that had absolutely nothing to do with any of this." Galang paused his remarks, scanning one by one the reporters who casually took pictures of himself and Amara.

"I will sue anyone who dares to spread this kind of false news. You guys remember this! I'm not messing around with my threats" he added again and looked at Amara who had only bowed his head since then. "Come on Amara we need to get in the car quickly. Don't listen to them. Come on." Galang grasped Amara's hand and took the woman into the car.

Before entering he looked at one by one the reporters who only silently watched him holding Amara. Then he got in and started the engine. Not long Galang brought his car bolted from the yard of Amara's house which still had reporters there.
