LOVE THE RECEPTIONIST

107. Lotus Flower Embroidery

Leon's tears welled up in his eyes. Although he was a man, he could not bear his sorrow when he saw the mother who had given birth to him now did not recognize him anymore.

"Who's your mom? She must be the woman who didn't educate you! You're still crying, like a toddler!" mrs Gamsonrich said indifferently while continuing the embroidery with a lotus flower, her favorite flower.

Yes, it has been almost 5 months, Mrs Gamsonrich became one of the residents of the mental hospital.

After the court ruling that he had to account for all his evil deeds in prison, the middle-aged woman could only survive for 4 weeks in there.

The chill of the tiles, the dirty and disgusting food in his eyes, not to mention the incessant eating of the thugs of the women who one cell with him, who knew that he came from a rich family, made Mrs Gamsonrich was declared mentally ill.

Leon grabbed a handkerchief from his pants pocket, sweeping his tears that seeped into his cheeks.

During his mother's 5 months in the Mental Hospital, Leon always took his time every day at lunchtime to bring his mother his favorite food, except if he was out of town or was sick.

While his brother Kenny and his father visit only once a week, because of their busy business.

"Here you go, don't cry. This is not a cemetery where people mourn their grief. This is the place where people rejoice and rejoice!" mrs Gamsonrich said again, her hands continue to embroider, showing the lotus florets that are blooming and are almost done, there are a few more lotus petals that she must fill with threads.

"Look there!" mrs Gamsonrich placed her knitting needles, and pointed to several psychiatric hospital patients who were busy with their respective actions and activities around the park where she and Leon were sitting.

"There's no sad look on their faces, they're always laughing happily right?" mrs Gamsonrich looked at the mentally ill patients with a small laugh.

Leon also looked at the direction appointed by his mother, it was true, the mental patients were seen being happy. Someone cradled a baby doll and sang this song while walking around, someone laughed himself and chattered that he himself did not understand what he was laughing at in his chatter, and many more.

Leon glanced at his mother, the woman was still laughing looking at the mentally ill patients.

Despite his mother's condition now like this, Leon still remains grateful because his mother is still healthy and can laugh in her own way, and can still be creative embroider handkerchiefs, tablecloths, and curtain rags.

There have been several sheets that were completed over the past 3 months. Of course Leon bought it at a high price. The money given by Leon, he always carried in his sling bag everywhere, including the bathroom.

...🍓🍓🍓...

Scorching sun seemed to burn the skin, Leon who just got down from his car hastily entered the magnificent building of his office.

"Sir Leon, there's a guest waiting for you" said a beautiful receptionist standing up, as he watched Leon pass by the lobby near his desk.

"Where's the guest? And what's the need?" Leon stopped his steps right in front of the receptionist.

"On the couch of the lobby, sir," he politely pointed and walked out from the back of his desk.

"Name of Mr. Dirga. He did not say what he needed, and had waited almost an hour ago" the receptionist said.

"alright. You don't have to take me there, I'll see him myself," after saying so Leon hurried over, and the receptionist sat back at his desk.

As he got closer, Leon slowed his steps to look at the back of Dirga who was sitting on the guest sofa behind him.

"Good day, Mr. Dirga," said Leon, he was standing right next to Dirga sitting.

"Good Day, too, Mr. Leon. Sorry, it has disturbed your peace of work." said Dirga, extending his hand to shake hands.

He felt bad, because Leon did not immediately welcome his hand, and just looked at his hand as if he was thinking.

Belun Dirga had pulled his hand, Leon finally welcomed his hand and shook it tightly and tautly making Dirga startled and had held his breath for a split second.

"Not at all Mr. Dirga, I just went out to lunch earlier" Leon said later. "Please sit back Mr. Dirga," he said.

"It must be a very important matter, to bring Mr. Dirga to my office," said Leon, after they both sat facing each other.

Dirga just smiled faintly at Leon's words.

"Monaliza and I agreed to give birth to our son Arseano even though it seemed very slow, because Monaliza had only begun to calm down in this month," said Dirga with his speech that was deliberately not clarified.

Even so, Leon can understand what Dirga said, he was several times reported by Kenny and Nadine if Monaliza still often experienced excessive fear due to trauma after the abduction of her baby, because his brother and sister-in-law visited Dirga several times to bring their baby girl who was born only different days from the birth of Arseano, son of Monalisa and Dirga.

"Thank God, I'm glad Monaliza's feeling better. When's show?" leon asked, responding to the news brought by his former rival.

"The time, the place and the clock are on this invitation card. Monaliza asked me specifically to deliver it to you. He pressured me so that you should come, not not to," said Dirga according to a message from his wife and gave an invitation card to Leon.

Leon again smiled faintly in response to Dirga's words he heard like a gentle breeze, making him recall the past he had tried to forget and it turned out to be so difficult.

"Thank you, Mr. Dirga. You've taken the time to deliver this invitation to me specifically." Leon received the invitation card Dirga gave him. "I try to come." continued Leon again.

"Alright, my courier's task is done, and I beg you to leave," Dirga immediately stood up followed Leon and extended her hand again before leaving.

Fortunately, unlike before, this time Leon immediately welcomed Dirga's hand to him.

"Be careful on the road," although just a stale base, but Dirga was quite happy to hear it. His former rival is indeed a big soul inwardly giving judgment.

Leon was still standing where he stood looking at Dirga who had gone away. Her memories drift back to the past, when Monaliza was still her lover, too sweet and at the same time bitter to remember.

But a Leon never regretted the past as if it did not side with him. It was bitter, and he tried to make it. Trying to instill a mindset in his heart, if love does not have to have, and that love does not have to impose impossible circumstances, and that love is a love that is willing to sacrifice.

Leon smiled bitterly. And the smile was only visible at a glance because his face was now suddenly bent, when he realized that Nadya was the one who became his life partner until the end of life will pick up.

Leon again forced a smile on his face, because it was too difficult, as difficult as the feeling of being forced to love Nadya who became his wife for the rest of his life.

But he was determined, keep knitting his life as well as possible until the end of life, like the new skills of his mother who was able to make a lotus flower embroidery is quite beautiful after experiencing mental disorders.
