LOVE THE RECEPTIONIST

42. Wind In

Leon pulled his car slowly to the side of the road, when they had arrived in front of the narrow alley where Monaliza lived.

"Mona, tomorrow morning, I hope you're willing to do a test using this tool" Leon said. He thrust a small plastic bag at Monaliza.

Monaliza stared at the plastic package that was still in Leon's hands, then her gaze turned to look at Leon who was watching him, Leon nodded his head, hinting at Monaliza to take the plastic package from her hands.

Though hesitant, Monaliza reached out her hand, taking it from Leon's hand, the two objects that were still sealed neatly removed from the plastic.

"Do you think I'm pregnant with Leon?" monaliza said with a sad face.

"I'm sorry Mona. I didn't mean to offend you, I just wanted to make sure, because you were vomiting Keny said on the phone" Monaliza said.

"Yes, I understand. But what if I'm really pregnant? I was afraid of Leon," Monaliza's voice sounded trembling, her teary eyes revealing her fear.

"Mona," Leon grabbed Monaliza's hands, then pressed them against her chest.

"Don't be afraid Mona, I'll always be there for you" comforted Leon.

"Tomorrow, I'll take you to lunch together, and there's something I want to show you, do you want?" ask Leon expectantly. Monaliza nodded her head in agreement.

"Thank you," Leon kissed Monaliza's soft back, then let go.

"We're going down now, I'm going to take you to your house" Leon got off first, then opened the door for Monaliza.

The two walked down a narrow alley lined with concrete on the left and right sides. The atmosphere of the night seemed very quiet, everyone seemed to have been lulled into a dream in their blankets.

Monaliza knocked on the door of her house, not long after the sound of footsteps from inside the house was heard approaching. Rony's face appeared at the door.

"Hi Rony, haven't you slept?" greet Leon to Monaliza's sister.

"Not yet sister, mother asked me to wait for Mona's sister to come home, because mom is tired of babysitting sisters today," said Rony. From the water on his face, it looks like the teenager is very sleepy.

"Alright, brother Leon go home first yes," said Leon as he rubbed the top of Rony's hair gently.

"Yes, be careful on the road. Thank you for bringing sister Mona home" Rony said with a smile.

"Sama-sama" said Leon again smiling.

"Mona, don't forget my message about that thing in plastic. See you tomorrow." After saying so Leon turned his body around and immediately left the house of Monaliza.

...***...

The atmosphere of the office seemed quiet, but Dirga had arrived there so early. The employees have not been seen everywhere, only the cleaning service is busy with their respective tasks, mopping the floor, wiping the glass, sweeping the office grounds from dry leaves, and so on, prepare tea for the staff, and so on.

Dirga's view was imprinted on the figure of the receptionist employee who was already on standby at his desk. Yes, Monaliza, the employee was already busy that early morning, checking the guestbook sheet by sheet on her desk.

Monaliza's nose twitched, smelling the fragrance of a man's perfume blowing into her sense of smell. Monaliza who was bowing her head was not aware of the presence of the leader.

"Oh, why does my head suddenly feel dizzy smelling this scent," Monaliza said as she continued to examine the sheet by sheet of the guest book in front of her. Instead of fading, the aroma was getting stinging into his nose, causing nausea in his stomach.

Monaliza was stunned for a moment, the voice, no stranger to her ears, she looked up quickly, looking at the owner of the voice.

"Sir D-Dirga?!" Monaliza gasps. He looked around hoping that there would be someone other than himself and Dirga there. But there was no one but the cleaning service who was busy carrying out their duties and their distance was quite far from Monaliza and Dirga.

"Are you sick?" dirga asked, when he saw Monaliza's face paled and sweat on her forehead.

"S-I'm fine sir, but I can't stand the smell of perfume Mr. Dirga" said Monaliza honestly while cupping her nose and mouth with both palms.

Dirga raised both hands in turn, sniffing the perfume she was wearing. "No problem," he said. Doesn't he use it every day.

Dirga had not had time to say something, Monaliza seemed to run away from her desk to the toilet next to the elevator.

Dirga caught up with him at a rapid pace, his steps stopped at the door of the toilet, when he realized the toilet entered by Monaliza was a female toilet.

From the outside he heard Monaliza spewing something, her voice sounding so noisy inside. There was a bit of worry and panic in him hearing Monaliza's voice inside.

Dirga waved her hand, calling out the cleaning service that was passing by her.

"Good morning sir, there is something I can help you with" said the cleaning sevice.

"Get me a bottle of mineral water and quickly bring it here" Dirga ordered with a panicked face.

"Okay sir, I'll get you soon," the cleaning service put the tools he was carrying on the edge near the wall and immediately rushed to the pantry.

The voices of Monaliza who was spewing out all her entrails still continued to be heard, Dirga who could not bear to hear it finally forced herself to enter. Sure enough, Monaliza looks limp with her face face face down on the sink, some of her vomit has been scattered everywhere other than in the sink. The fishy, sour, and unpleasant smell of the vomit made Dirga want to vomit too. But his human instinct encouraged him to keep trying to help his employees.

Dirga immediately grabbed Monaliza's back, leaning her on her left side. Monaliza who was drunk and limp was unable to resist. Dirga's hands immediately wiped and cleaned the face of Monaliza who was affected by the spit itself, as well as the sweat that poured on her face that was tangled and messy.

"Sir Dirga, here's the mineral bottle," the cleaning service finally arrived, and gave him the mineral bottle he was carrying.

"Thank you" Dirga received a mineral bottle from the hand of her cleaning service employees and immediately unsealed it and gave it to Monaliza.

"Monaliza, drink this" said Dirga, helping to drink the guts of his receptionist.

Monaliza drank a few gulps, then began to spit out what was left in her stomach, until her mouth was bitter. His breath felt so tight that it sounded hunting.

"Quickly, clean this place," Dirga ordered again to his cleaning service employees again.

"Well sir," the cleaning service employee immediately came out of the toilet and took the tools he left behind in the lobby.

"Come, come to my room, I'll call you a doctor immediately, it looks like you're catching a cold" Dirga pulled Monaliza's hand to follow.

"But Sir-" Monaliza refused and tried to let go of her hand held tightly by Dirga.

"You're sick, Mona, just look at that pale, limp face of yours. Go, hurry!" force Dirga.

Monaliza had to comply, she followed Dirga into the elevator. There he leaned his back against the wall of the elevator which was tightly closed because he could no longer stand.
