THE SECRETARY'S BED TEMPTATION
Chapter 34~

~I LIKE YOU, AMARA.

###

"Mas." Vanila stood up as soon as Galang opened his eyes. He approached and held the man's hand.

Kevin, who was standing far enough away from the bed, immediately approached.

"Sir, are you conscious?" tanyanya.

Galang's gaze scanned for a moment the entire white room, he then asked without answering Kevin's question.

"I ... am in the hospital?" His gaze was fixed on Kevin beside him, then turned to Vanila.

"Yes, Sir. You are now in the hospital." Kevin answered while glancing at Amara who was still at home standing at the end there.

He wondered why Amara did not come closer. He even chose to stand there.

"I'm in the hospital? Why?" Apparently Galang still does not remember the events that happened to him.

"A—"

"It was in the hospital because of dehydration, Mas's stomach acid relapsed, kept on like Mas passed out." Vanila interrupted Kevin just like that. Highlight his eyes were sinisterly glancing at Amara.

"Fainting? Ah, yes. Semalem I have diarrhea," said Galang who just remembered it.

Kevin looked at Galang, he seemed to want to say something. However, his mouth felt very heavy because Vanila continued to look at him. As if from that gaze, Vanila gave a code not to say much.

The room was silent for a moment. Vaguely Galang remembered the incident last night. His intention to sleep must be delayed because his stomach suddenly returned heartburn. He went back and forth to the toilet again, until his body was completely limp and his vision was twitching. Then, I don't know what happened next he can't remember.

"Kevin," call Galang.

"Yes, sir."

"Who took me to the hospital? As far as I know the maid in the house is all holiday."

As he remembered Galang, Bi Ratna had paid a day off because there was an event at his home. Then, the other maid was given a day off by him. Except, driver and security.

Before replying, Kevin glanced at Vanila who had a sour look since.

"That brings you to the hospital Ms. Amara, sir," he replied later.

"Marrion?"

"Yes, sir." Kevin nodded.

"So, where is he now?"

"Di—"

"Mas! Why are you looking for him? He's a no-nonsense secretary! Because of him you're going to the hospital." Vanilla interrupted Kevin for the second time.

Kevin can only grumble in his heart. Vanila really sucks in her opinion.

Highlight Galang's eyes turned sharp, he could not accept if Amara was blamed for what happened to him.

"You better shut up, Vanilla! I didn't ask you! Anyway, why are you here? Aren't we related anymore?" sembur Galang which then makes Vanila even more upset.

"Mas! You—"

"Take him out! I don't want to see him here anymore." Galang ordered Kevin without looking at Vanila who seemed to grunt.

Kevin nodded obediently. "Good, sir." He then approached Vanilla. "Please come out, Madam. Mr. Galang does not want to be disturbed by you," he asked Vanila.

"Mas! You can't mess with me like this! My mother!" Vanila tried to hold Galang's hand, but was quickly pushed aside by the man.

"Come, Vanila! I have no more business with you," drive out Galang who does not want to listen or see Vanila's face again.

"Mas!"

"Go!" Galang Scenes echoed throughout the room until Vanila was shocked, even with Amara at the end there. Galang's corner of the eye glanced at the woman. 'Why is he standing there?' batin Galang wondered.

"Come, Madam. We're out." Kevin reminded me once again.

Vanila clucked loudly. "I can get out on my own!" he said who then left the room with a cocky feeling.

"You take care of everything. Give him anything. I don't want to deal with him anymore" Galang told his assistant.

"Good, Sir. Then excuse me first." Kevin resigned.

"Thank you."

"Together, sir." The young man followed Vanila away, but before coming out he looked at Amara briefly and nodded his head.

Amara simply commented on the smile while nodding along. He looked at Kevin's back which slowly moved away from his sight and out of the room.

Now in the room there is only him and Galang.

"romance."

Galang's call made Amara stunned, and turned his head.

The corner of Galang's lips is pulled upwards. Funny with Amara's behavior.

"Will you stand there? Don't you want to ask me about my situation? After you get me into a hospital like this?" The man deliberately teased the frightened looking Amara.

While the woman who let her hair down gulped her saliva with difficulty.

"Em, i-iya, sir." With weight, her little legs stepped closer to the bed. His head kept bowing.

"Please help me sit down. You can't, can you?" pinta Galang who tried to get up.

Amara came and helped him. "I-I help, sir." He held onto both of Galang's burly arms, then carefully he helped Galang sit leaning against the head of the bed.

"Thank you" said Galang after sitting comfortably.

"Together, sir." Amara's reflexes are inching backwards. He went back to silence and looked down. His mouth opened and he wanted to say, "Sa—"

"That's it. I will not sue you. I was just kidding." Galang cut off Amara's words that he knew where he was going.

Amara's head was raised. His forehead was pucker very deeply.

He smiled, then said again. "This is all my fault. You don't have to be scared or guilty."

"But, Sir. I'm the one who's been asking you to eat there" said Amara, who still feels guilty.

Screaming quickly and then saying, "Udah. Don't talk about it anymore. Anyway, I'm fine."

Hearing that, Amara who was about to chimed, the urung was done because Galang gave him the code by attaching his index finger to the lips.

"Shhh! Hitherto. Lupain. You are not wrong," broke up Galang who did not want to argue further.

Amara nodded slowly then said, "Ba-nice." 'I think I should postpone saying goodbye to Mr. Galang. If I want to go home.' Inner calls.

"Mara. Come closer."

"Sa-my?"

"Yes, you. Who else is it?"

The woman approached Galang. He did not dare to look at the handsome face of his boss. A very firm and charming face. While Galang actually did not want to be free to look at Amara. Her lips have been smiling ever since.

"Sit down." Amara screamed because suddenly Galang touched his hand and led him to sit on the bed.

"But, Pak—" Amara had wanted to retreat, but quickly Galang held him back.

"Shhh! Don't argue with me. Let's sit down."

Like a hypnotized person, Amara obeyed the orders of his superiors. He landed his butt slowly. Sitting face to face with Galang like this makes his heart beat uncomfortably. To move the eyeball alone, it feels too heavy. The eyes of this man were so deep and like magic. Up close, Amara could see Galang's tanned bead.

A sharp nose, thin lips, a firm jaw, a sharp gaze, and a very distinctive voice. It all caught Amara's attention.

"romance."

"Yes, sir."

Both of them stared at each other without blinking.

"I want to be honest with you."

"Bi-talk what?" Amara's eyeballs kept rolling to and fro. He's really scared of being caliph. It looks very serious.

Suddenly Galang raised his hand to touch Amara's cheek.

"Sir." Amara was shocked by what happened. The warmth of Galang's palm when it touched his skin, causing a strange sigh in his chest.

He wanted to stand up and move away, but again Galang held him back. The man was determined to tell the truth. Maybe it's too fast and sounds absurd. However, he was already unable to hold back any longer the turmoil of his increasingly crazed feelings.

Silent.

Amara froze in front of Galang who refused to let go of his hand. He kept looking into the eyes of his boss. Trying to find answers. His attitude towards her was beyond belief.

"Sir. You why? I feel uncomfortable." Amara wanted to pull her hand but Galang still held her back.

Galang smiled, then kissed the back of Amara's hand.

"I have no intention of being rude to you. I just want to say what I've been feeling all along."

Amara's eyeballs suddenly widened, he did not expect that Galang would act this far. However, he also felt bad to be angry let alone to the point of shouting.

Too excessive—his thoughts.

Both hearts beat in rhythm. Their minds were centered on the look of each other's eyes. Until in the next second, Galang resolved to continue his speech.

"Mara. All this time I liked you. I love you, Amara."
