THE STAIN OF THE PAST
Chapter 24. Boss and Secretary.

This morning, Athalla and Kania made a presentation again. Looks Athalla more focused and fluent in the talk this time. Maybe the happy effects of yesterday. So is Kania. Everyone applauded what Kania said.

After the five companies gave a percentage, the big company asked for a one-hour pause. Actually they have a choice. Just want to listen once again the percentages that are said.

Eventually the Athalla company won the tender this time. I have a less happy face than Adit. He looked at Athalla and Kania with a sour and red face.

After making an appointment for the next meeting that would discuss cooperation they returned to the room to prepare for home.

Throughout the journey Athalla's hands are always in the hands of Kania. No matter which driver sometimes glances at them. Arrive at the Kania boarding house around 9 p.m.

Before boarding, Athalla had bought Kania food for breakfast. Athalla did not want her lover was always breakfast with instant noodles only.

"I went home straight away so you could rest. Sleep directly! Don't shadow me and think of me, for I will remain in your heart."

"What's the talk, huh? Just gombal!"

Athalla laughed and kissed his lover's forehead. If you want to follow the naps, want to kiss the lips of old Kania. After Kania entered the boarding room, Athalla walked out of the boarding house.

***

At 07:00 in the morning Athalla arrived in front of Kania's house. The woman greeted her lover with a smile.

"Attent, Mas. I'll grab the bag first" said Kania and went into the room.

Athalla's car has split the road to the office. Along the way Kania smiled once glancing towards Athalla.

"What the hell are you smiling at?" ask Athalla who was curious about what tickled his lover's feelings to make him smile.

"Damn, kepo! Want to know," answered Kania who has now begun to dare to tease Athalla. He was already comfortable with the man and considered Athalla a part of him. No hesitation or hesitation.

"I'm serious, honey! I wonder what makes you smile. But you know if you smile, your face is more beautiful, I like it" Athalla replied.

That sentence had managed to make Kania's face meet red, making her look down embarrassed like the ABG girl who had just been praised by the man she liked.

"Come on dong, honey tell me what's funny?" ask Athalla. However, at once Athalla thought of one thing and immediately lowered his head towards his pants. He thought it might be possible to open the zipper to make the girl smile, but she didn't. The clothes are neat and the hero is still wrapped safely in there.

"Didih, his mind is slovenly. I didn't smile because of that, huh" sambar Kania who was also looking at Athalla's pants. The two laughed together.

"Cock suddenly his face pouted? his forehead bent in thought what the hell? just now we laughed together, now it's a frown," said Athalla did not like to see Kania's forehead wrinkled because if it was like that surely his lover was thinking something serious.

Athalla doesn't want anything to happen, Kania keeps it just for herself. For Athalla, he has to look after and also help Kania in every problem that the woman faces.

"I'm serious, no problem. Trust me." Kania smiled again to calm the man's mind.

It was no longer an open secret in the office, all the employees started talking about their relationship not openly. Of course they only talk when away from Athalla's hearing, there's no way they'd dare talk about the boss. But as Kania passed by, without any burden they would start gossiping saying he was shameless for luring their Boss.

I do not know where the employees in the one-story division with Athalla know the status of Kania with the video of his shur. Kania did not want to be so bad at accusing someone. They scoffed, saying that Kania must have teased their Boss with her body.

Feeling the glances of the eyes of some who saw them passing made Kania take a step back, away from Athalla.

They should not show their closeness, because in this office they are the boss and secretary.

Athalla, who noticed that Kania was making some distance between them, stopped and looked back. Shamelessly Athalla reached out to Kania as she was about to enter the elevator, but Kania shook her head weakly, and signaled that they were keeping their distance as this was the office.

Athalla who understood the cue from Kania followed what she wanted, first went up to the top floor followed by Kania with the next elevator.

Kania almost fell backwards as she opened the door of Athalla's room and found the man standing in front of the door waiting for her. As soon as the door of Athalla's room closed, the man pulled Kania's hand and took her to sit on the sofa.

"Why didn't you want an elevator with me? I also want to hold your hand, but you refuse. What am I wrong? Are you ashamed to walk with me?" protests sulking.

"Mas, this is the office, we have to think about what the employees think of me and of you. I don't want our personal problems mixed up with work."

Kania approached and clasped Athalla's hand, trying to explain to the man that that was the best thing at the moment, which they could do. They must be professional at work, not involving feelings and maintaining intimacy in front of many employees.

As much as possible, Kania works with professionals. Although indoors, Athalla often makes him misbehave, either by looking at him or sending heart-shaped messages.

For lunch, Kania who had brought supplies for the two of them prepared food on the table. Athalla who saw that smiled sweetly at Kania, so excited to imagine that his life would be perfect when he had a wife like Kania.

We eat first yes, Mas, uh sir," he error considering this is the office.

Athalla ate the provisions carried by Kania greedily. Though the woman only brought a side dish of egg balado and clear vegetable spinach. Athalla asks Kania to cook tomorrow and bring him another meal. Kania is happy to see Athalla who likes his cooking.
