THORNS IN MARRIAGE
CHAPTER 25 - ALL BECAUSE OF GOD

"What's up, Boss?"

I of course opened the door to my room straight away because Boss Gege knocked on it. It was rude to let him wait too long.

"I.mmm... Still want to talk to you! What...may? I meani... Mm... Liana's not sleepy yet?"

I was shocked to hear Boss Gege's timid talk.

"Can, Boss! I haven't slept either!"

We walked to the balcony of his large house.

The atmosphere of the house is very quiet. Citra and Genta had entered their respective rooms so that the situation was completely silent.

"This house is too quiet, isn't it?"

I nodded in agreement. Turns out we were thinking.

"This house is too big to be filled by Boss and Mbak Citra only!" my dream in a soft voice.

"It wasn't this lonely. There are about five-six people living here including me and Citra!" boss Gege's story made me frown.

"Where are they going, Boss?"

"Two people died!"

Deg.

My heart stopped beating. Turns out...

Instantly my hair bristled. I'm a little bit of a coward as well, though not really. But hearing Boss Gege's story made my heart pound and put my legs and body a little closer to him.

"The Boss family doesn't live here?"

"Keluargaku.ada in Jakarta city. I deliberately didn't allow them to stay here because it was too horror!"

Instantly I realized something.

Why would Boss take me and Genta to stay in this house while he wouldn't let his family stay here? How strange. What's... Is he rich because of the pugilism? A will me and Genta be the next collision?

"Liana's? Hehe... Don't take my story seriously!"

"Darling, Boss!!! I almost had bad thoughts about you! Hey!!!"

Of course I immediately flushed. Forgetting the position that this handsome guy beside me is a big Boss.

I laughed as well hearing him chuckle happily.

"But it's true that two of my employees died. One person due to age. Yusril's grandfather was 82 years old and was indeed sickly. He worked in this factory long before I lived here! Then Hilda, hhh... Hilda died but not in this house, but in her hometown two days after returning home."

I was seriously stunned to hear the story of boss Gege who was quite tense.

"Since then, one by one employees have left this factory for various reasons. Bad rumors spread so quickly. Even the discordant rumors about Me and the company became a viral story among the employees that was getting less and less. He said, this factory likes to ask for a tumble every year. And it started happening three years ago... Now the factory is headed for bankruptcy!"

Good Lord! That's the story.

"Did the Boss family know about the state of the factory?"

"Hm...! I am the backbone of the family. Ready not ready, inevitably.I must be able to keep all the legacy assets of the late Papi and Papa Tiriku!"

Eh? Papa two?

"You must be confused, Liana! Hehe..."

Boss Gege seemed to know my way of thinking.

"You want to hear my story, Liana?"

The typical voice of Boss Gege who was rather hoarse wet sounded gently engrossing. Although the story is a bit creepy, but I am curious and want to continue the story. Of course I nodded quickly.

"We make coffee first, how about it?"

A coffee? Nine o'clock in the night like this? What's... Not to make it harder to sleep, Boss?

"Me only. You're hot chocolate milk only. Wanna?"

Itis funny. He's the CEO and the Big Boss. But right now it is precisely he who serves me by making drinks. I didn't know how to make coffee from the sophisticated machine that was in the corner of the mini bar table near the second-floor balcony of his house.

"Sorry, Boss! I don't understand how to brew coffee with a manual coffee maker!"

"It's okay. I offered it to you anyway, Liana! Don't hesitate! Outside of work hours we are friends!"

I love hearing that word. It feels like this head is so big and my soul is like flying.

It's great! Boss Gege is a super haunted CEO apparently!

"Before I tell you, may I know why you divorced your husband?"

"Liana's? Excuse me... If I open your old wounds!"

"My husband cheated on me and wanted to marry his affair. I of course refused and it made him angry and then divorced me."

I'm just telling you a short story. I don't want to remember this pain for long.

"Sorry...!"

"His affair turned out to be pregnant while I was ten years into his wife but never pregnant!"

I don't want to tell you much. But precisely this mouth even bablas let out all stripes and grievances even to the point of crying.

"Baby boys*n! Hik hik... He turned out to play crazy and play shaman as well to get what he wanted. His affair was also eleven twelve. Both adherents of black magic and cults! May they get what they want in hell!"

I went so far as to subconsciously curse and curse my ex-husband in front of Boss Jonathan.

My face is red, my hands are wet. This heart became bloody again opening the wound that I had closed tightly.

"Drink first, Liana!"

I only realized after Boss handed me a ceramic glass filled with warm chocolate milk.

"I'm sorry... I'm sorry I made you sad!"

"Hik hicks... Thank you, Boss! Boss is the most meritorious person in my life as well as Genta. We would've been bums if not Boss please a few days ago at that terminal restaurant!"

"That's it. Forget the bitter past, Liana! Open a new page. Our lives mean much more than weeping over the bad things that have happened. Rise up! You're lucky, God kept you away from the bad guy. Otherwise, you could have been skinny-dried inner cowers of him!"

I stared at Boss Gege's face long enough.

"I was cheated on by him for stupid and FAT reasons. Can I be as skinny back as when I was a teenager?"

We both looked at each other.

"Why not? Surely can. Where there is a will, there is a way. You know what, Liana? Five years ago I also had a struggle to make my only obese sister slim and cool as it is now. Do you want me to be your trainer?"

"You! Go, Boss!!!"

We laughed. Boss Gege turns out to be a funny guy too, albeit a little stiff because he's the CEO. Of course, every day is required to seriously carry out his duties as a company leader.

"You know what, Liana? Today two of my tenders succeeded. I feel this is thanks to your presence. You and Genta! That's why I purposely invited you to chat these nights to personally thank you!"

"the boss? It's all by God's permission. And certainly thanks to the hard work of the Boss himself lobbying the supliers. I'm so happy for the success that Boss has had!"

Boss Gege smiled as he shook his head.

"The two tenders have actually been around for a long time and there is no news, let alone a copy after almost a year more hanging. But this afternoon after a big wind hit my house and kitchen, the happy news suddenly seemed to line up to me. Tomorrow at ten, I'm asked to come to their company to sign the contract."

"Alhamdulillah!" my answer is very happy.

"Miana,... Will you come with me tomorrow? Febri my secretary can't come in because tomorrow is Sunday. Please, please help me just take note of the important things later there and make documentation of the agreement. How's it?"

"Boss?"

I'm choked. It was all so fast and it was never on my mind.

This happiness... So suddenly. It made me unable to close my mouth that was smiling so widely.

"But I don't have any good clothes, Boss!" honestly revealed.

"Don't worry. Tomorrow at seven we go to the boutique and to the salon first! Want huh?"

"Good, Boss!"

"Yes already. Now you go to your room. Sleeps. Tomorrow morning get up and meet me in the dining room!"

"Good, Boss! But..., isn't Boss willing to tell Boss' story to me?"

"Hehehe... There's plenty of time, Liana! I'll tell you my story every night if you want to hear it!"

"Hehehe... Ja. I want to hear it. I am very interested in the story of Boss!"

"Come, sleep. It's ten o'clock past now. I don't want you to wake up late!"

"Ba_good. Excuse me, Boss! Good evening. Assalamualaikum..."

"Waalaikum salam. Good night, Liana! Have a good dream!"

"Thank you so much Boss!"

I don't know what color my heart is right now. The red tinge is so clear for sure. Because I'm so happy. God is Good. God is Most Merciful and Merciful.

Thank you God. Thank you for this favor you gave me.
