CEO's request

Part 31.

Our car pulled out of the parking lot together. My car is in front, I drive at a moderate speed. Along the way, my heart feels happy. It was the first time I fell in love with a handsome CEO.

Music playing softly through the car CD. Makes me more immersed in feelings of love. I can still feel the CEO's touch on my cheeks and hands. We should be in the same car so that the romantic atmosphere is more pronounced.

Soon the car entered the residential area where I live. After opening the glass a little, I honked as I passed through the portal to the house. Two security guards waved at me.

The car arrived in front of the house, while the CEO's car was behind me. Pak Dirman jogged to open the gate. From far away, I heard the call to prayer, I immediately put the car into the garage.

The CEO also did the same thing with me, he honked the horn, and Indra, his younger brother came out to open the gate. After saying hello, I entered the house. In the living room, Mother was sitting alone.

"Zahra, wait a minute! Mother wants to talk!"

From the tone of voice, it seemed that Mother was upset. I immediately sat in the living room at his request.

"Why come home late? Isn't it normal this long?" Mother investigate.

"This is the last day of internship at Mr. Wendy's office, Bund! We have a small event to take pictures of and eat together at the office!" I lied.

Mother immediately fell silent, she looked into my eyes, looking for the truth in them. I don't dare look at Mother, actually, I don't have the heart to lie, but I love CEO Wendy.

"You went home with Wendy, didn't you?"

"We're in the same office, Bund! Even going back to the same house, is there something wrong?" I explained to Mother.

She immediately fell silent, no longer asked. Then sat in the living room pensive. I left Mother, then went upstairs. Oops, why are you being so overprotective of me? So you feel constrained, you can't be free to do what you want.

Arriving in the room, I put the bag on the dressing table. The warm feeling of love that was felt, in the chest, disappeared instantly because of Mother's scolding. With a heavy heart, the CEO and I have to keep this relationship a secret from Mother.

If Papa would agree if Wendy and I were in love. It's like love doesn't arrive, now Brother Wendy and I want to be the connection between the love that had broken up. I think this is a crazy plan.

*****

Ahh, it's not necessarily a match, it's better if I live this relationship in secret. I want to feel love for the first time in my life. This is what makes me unable to sleep since the CEO lives in front of my house.

The beginning of falling in love all feels beautiful, life is more vibrant. This change was also felt by the CEO. He didn't come home from work until late at night. Before Maghrib, he arrived home.

He always honks the car horn, then looks upstairs where I sit waiting for him. The habit we often do is, after dinner, sitting on the terrace while chatting through the green application.

Actually, the CEO could have come to visit my house. But you have to find the right reason so that you don't suspect. Well, that's why it's hard to find. While the relationship between Papa and Mother is still not good.

It feels like torturing this secret relationship. But this is the challenge for us. Because parents have been in love in the past. This is the reason why Mother doesn't like seeing me close to the CEO.

After three months of being in love.

The CEO ventured to come to visit the house, with the excuse that he wanted to meet Papa. Though there is no serious problem. I was worried, afraid Mother would suspect.

I didn't dare go downstairs, just sat on the balcony terrace. Hearing the CEO coming to visit, Sis Mona and Brother Rey immediately left the room and sat in the living room. Likewise, with Mother, I became curious about what they were talking about.

I open a favorite novel that faithfully accompanies me when I'm upset. Reading romantic stories, the mood immediately improves. I smile myself considering the incident at the romantic cafe, exactly what the main character experienced in my novel was only in a different place.

While reading a novel, Mbok Nah was already standing behind me. She told me to go downstairs because there were guests. I immediately cheered in my heart, because the guest was the CEO of my lover.

*****

Footsteps felt light as he descended downstairs. I straighten my hair and clothes which are a little messy. Seeing me standing at the end of the stairs, Mona's face immediately changed.

I felt that, because Sis Mona immediately got up from her seat, with the excuse of going to the toilet. Not long after, Mbok Nah came with a few glasses of warm tea in a cup.

"Please drink Mr. Wendy! You can also make warm tea for this family," said Mbok Nah.

"Thank you, Mbok," said the CEO.

I sat next to Papa, while Mother was busy arranging the tea in front of us. Sis Mona hasn't come out of the toilet yet. I feel guilty about this condition. I rubbed my face harshly,

"What's wrong, Za? Why are you sighing like that?" asked Papa.

"Hm, it's okay, no problem, Pa," I replied.

"What's this, looks like something important, huh?" I asked Papa.

"Wendy... you explain the purpose of coming

you!" Papa asked.

What? I couldn't believe that Papa cared so much about the CEO that he was given the time to talk to me.

"Za... if you want, after college, you can go back to work in my office!" said the CEO.

"Thanks for the offer, Bro," I said.

"Zaa when is the graduation schedule held?" Mother asked.

"Next week, Mother," I replied.

"Aren't you interested in doing business in fashion design?" Mother asked again.

"Yes, Mother, Zahra will think about it after graduating from college," I answered to please her.
