The Undying Past
PART 7 ~ I WAS YOUR NIGHTMARE

Either Aleya had to be happy for her appointment as secretary or had to cry. Problem for sure no doubt, he will be able to give a better life for his little daughter. But his education base is not a secretary and he does not know what to do, especially the fact that the boss is Najib, the man took everything and kicked him out of the man's life.

"Honey, now mama will be home longer, so Celya do not be naughty and can not be troublesome mbak." Aleya said goodbye to her daughter when she dropped her off at school.

"Ok ma, spirit." Celya hugged Aleya before entering the school area followed by her nanny. Aleya looked at her daughter's back and disappeared from sight when she got back in her car.

Before running her car, Aleya took a deep breath. A new round of work awaits. I don't know what will happen in the future only God knows and Aleya will only follow her destiny.

The clock shows at 06:50 as Aleya parked her car in a normal place. With a quick step he headed to the company lobby and then entered the elevator which would take him to the highest floor of the building.

The elevator stopped and Aleya rushed out. Soon he had to learn the duties and work of a secretary. Aleya had never imagined herself to be the secretary she was today.

The moment Aleya started to open the file came the sound of the elevator stopping and there were footsteps heading towards her. Aleya immediately stood up to greet her superior.

"Good morning sir," Aleya slightly bowed her body a sign of respect for the boss.

"Bring me my schedule for today !" The short, dense and flat tone of the man's voice without stopping his steps.

Aleya looked at Andika asking for help. He really doesn't know where his boss's schedule lies. The secretary who once just stopped without any communication with him at least told him something that was most needed by his superiors.

"Mac book on the right-hand corner" Andika whispered and followed Najib into her room.

"What are you doing here ? Has your room moved ?!" I don't know why that handsome guy is so sniffy when it's still morning. But it is still a new moon and it is not possible to be in the period.

"Once the boss needs something, "Andika quibbled before finally coming out. He followed his boss so as not to bully Aleya on her first day as secretary.

Najib only snorted at the words of his assistant. He started to turn on the laptop in front of him while waiting for his secretary to bring his schedule.

Tok tok tok tok

"Lake in." There was a heavy voice typical of the man and Aleya stepped slowly impressed hesitantly entering the CEO's room for the first time.

"Excuse me sir, can I read your schedule ?" Aleya did not dare to look into the eyes of the eagle belonging to the man she once admired.

"Hm" Najib did not take his eyes off the laptop in front of him.

Although Aleya was a little annoyed at the man's short answer yet she still did her job. Read one by one the man's schedule without pause so that he can get out of the room . Sharing oxygen with the man in the same room left him suffocating as if the indoor oxygen supply was monopolized by his superior.

"I know you're good at reading, but slow down a little so I can remember every second of my schedule." Still with a flat voice his cold bin sounded perfect in Aleya's ears.

"My company's hosting company guests tonight." Najib's word does not want to be disputed.

"Sorry sir, my daughter's nanny can't make it to night." Aleya tried to subtly refuse Najib's orders. He could not spend time with the man, especially outside of work hours.

"I have nothing to do with your daughter and her nanny. Work should be professional especially as a secretary, anything ordered by the boss should not be denied. Let's say the secretary doesn't have working hours." Najib stared intently at the beautiful face of Aleya who was looking at him softly.

Najib almost changed his mind when he saw the helpless gaze of the woman who used to color his day. But his past memories beat everything. Here in this office he is in power and Aleya must be aware of that.

"Then let me resign this time, sir. Sorry to me my daughter is more important than anything in the world. He's all mine in this world." Without a second thought Aleya chose to resign. Moreover, his superior was very unfriendly. There was still a lot of work he could do so as not to miss the story the night before his daughter went to bed.

Celya always told her all her activities both at school and at home before Aleya came home from work. As a single parent, Aleya used her daughter to always tell her anything so that she would be more open to her and consider her a friend.

"You sound so in love with your daughter's father" Najib's voice sounded cold as he spoke. It felt like Aleya was screaming in the ears of the man telling the truth.

Aleya just stared at the cynical man who had incised her heartache, almost making the mistake of revealing the true facts. It was fortunate that his mind overcame his will that he again swallowed his words that were ready to slide freely. Aleya didn't want to be accused of making things up.

"Yes, of course I love him wholeheartedly," Aleya felt her heart slashed in the light of the betrayal of the man in front of her.

"I won't let you stop. Either way you have to accompany me tonight. Bring your daughter along is fine for me, "Najib doesn't give Aleya any space. He wanted to know the life of the one-child woman all along.

Najib was just plain reasonable. All this time he was always accompanied by Andika and that was enough for him. Melisa as a secretary she never invited to attend meetings with him. But from today everything will change and Andika will work more in the office unless it is needed by her superiors.

"As far as you are concerned, my father is in charge of this, anyway,"

"Thank God you understand and in the future do not ever argue with me even if I tell you to stop breathing you must obey me" Najib showed his arrogant and arrogant face.

"What dream did I have last night that I should meet him," Aleya muttered very quietly but still Najib's sharp ears heard him.

"Of course I was your nightmare !"It was cold and sounded like a big threat to Aleya.

If only Aleya did not know Najib well then of course he did not need to be high-level vigilant. But because he knew Najib and his ugliness and kindness made him feel threatened. His scarf slightly shrunk but he did not show.

Since the birth of Celya, Aleya has turned into a super woman for her daughter. He deliberately isolated himself from his surroundings after knowing there was another life in him.
