ALDERANDA

Trying Romance

The next day, Nanda and Dera went to the office together as usual. When they got to the office, they went into their respective rooms. Rumors of a special relationship between the CEO and his secretary had been circulating among the employees.
Many support Dera and Nanda's relationship because they feel Dera and Nanda are a perfect match. However, not a few also condemn the relationship. Some look down on Dera and see Dera as a lowly woman who seduces her boss for money.
"Dera..." Nanda spoke into his cellphone.
"Yes, what's wrong, Sir? You can use the office telephone. Why call my cellphone?"
"Yes, it's okay. I like it. Again I also contacted my own girlfriend. Can't you? Oh yes, why are you calling me 'sir' again dear??"
"Mr. Nanda, this is in the office."
"Keep going?"
"Yeah--"
"We're just talking alone dear. Don't call me 'sir' ok!"
"Uh, yes, Sir-ah, I mean yes, Nanda. What do you need?"
"Erm you to my room now huh!"
"Okay Sir-uh Nanda."
Dera rushed to her boss's room. Arriving there, Dera knocked on the door. Because there was no answer from Nanda, Dera chose to go straight in.
There Dera was surprised, she did not find Nanda. Nanda had asked Dera to go to his room, but now I don't know where he is.
"Nanda... Erm Mr. Nanda!! Where are you Nanda?"
Suddenly from behind Dera was surprised by someone who had just come. The man hugged Dera from behind.
"Ehh--"
"I'm here honey. You were looking for me right? Hmm?"
"Nanda. Where are you from?"
"Nope. I just took an order outside for a while. Have you been waiting for me long?"
"Uh no. I was just here."
"Okay Dera. Hmm, you accompany me here okay!"
"Y-yes Nanda, but let go first!"
"Why honey? You don't like me hugging like this?"
"Uhm th-it's in the office."
"I know, this is my office. It's okay dear. No one will disturb us here anyway."
"Nanda..."
"Hmm? What dear?" Nanda tightened his embrace, he inhaled deeply the scent of Dera's body which is now his favorite scent.
" Please Nanda!"
"Okay, honey." Nanda let go of his hand. "Honey, now you sit and accompany me to eat. We eat together. Here I ordered food earlier."
"But it's not lunch time yet Nan!"
"Then why honey? I'm hungry now and I can't eat like that?"
"Yes, if you are free. This is your office too."
"All right."
"Yes, but I still have to work, I also can't eat now."
"Who said that?"
"E-ehh.."
"Okay, consider this an order from your boss. Now let's eat!"
Dera finally accepted Nanda's invitation to eat together in his room.
"How? You like it right?"
"Yes, this is delicious Nan. I really like it."
"Hmm, okay. Eh honey?"
"Why Nanda?"
"From now on, it's okay if we're not that formal anymore."
"It means?"
"No need for 'me', let's just talk casually-uhm use me-you. OK?"
"But Nanda, I--"
"Come on Dera! I beg you!"
"Well, it's up to you."
"Yeah, thanks dear. Alright, finish eating, okay..."
Finally they finished eating.
"Thanks Nanda for lunch, I'm full now. You're done too right? Then I'll go back to my room okay."
"Eits dear, why are you in a hurry? Don't be yet! I still want you here."
"Nanda, I have to work. I have a lot of work to do."
"I'll help you later. That job also comes from me. So don't protest anymore! You're here first."
"Nanda--"
"Dera... Come here!"
"Huh? What does that mean?"
"Here!" Nanda patted his thigh, he asked Dera to sit on his lap.
"What the hell Nan? No ah. You are--"
"It's okay here!" Nanda finally managed to make Dera sit on his lap.
"Nanda? You--"
"Why? I like it this way. We can get closer."
"But Nanda..."
"You really like to protest. It's better if you just shut up and don't move around like that. You know, if you're like that you'll make me--"
Dera reflex closed Nanda's mouth.
"Hey, why honey?" Nanda managed to get rid of Dera's hand covering his mouth.
"I know the direction of your conversation Nan."
"Okay, so shut up, don't move."
"Yeah, I'm already quiet."
"Heh, yes-yes..."
Nanda began to touch Dera's face, he stroked Dera's cheek gently.
"Dera darling, can you not be this cute for one day? You make me diabetic you know."
"Ugh, you're really exaggerating, Nan. Your jokes are ridiculous, you know."
"I'm not kidding. My girlfriend is really sweet, too sweet."
"Nanda..."
"Dera, I love you. I'm happy because we can be together now. You love me too, right?"
"..." Dera averted her eyes from Nanda.
"Darling??"
"..."
"Dera!!" Nanda held Dera's face, he managed to make Dera look at him now.
"Honey what are you doing? Hmm?"
"No Nanda. I--"
"So you don't love me?"
"Nanda--"
"I know Dera, it's still difficult for you. Our relationship even started with just an agreement. Maybe it's hard for you to let go of Al. But you have to know, I'm serious with you. I love you. I want you to be comfortable and happy with me. Darling."
"..."
"Hahh, it's okay Dera. You don't need to be afraid. I'm not angry. I'm sure one day you will also have the same affection for me. I will wait for you. I will make you really fall in love with me."
Nanda could not contain his feelings. He reflexively kissed Dera's lips. Dera, who couldn't resist, could only firmly grip the coat that Nanda was wearing.
When Nanda took off his kiss, their eyes met again.
"Dera dear, I love you. I love you. Ehmm, now you call Al, ask him to meet you!"
"Ah, what are you doing Nan?"
"I want us to explain our relationship to him. So you can really let go of him."
"Nanda??"
"I just want everything to be clear as soon as possible honey. I don't want to continue to have a shadow of him between our relationship. I want you to be completely mine soon honey!"
