LOVE THE RECEPTIONIST

49. Sentry

Hueek! Hueek! Hueekk!

Monaliza's breath was panting, the food that went into her stomach had now moved to the sink. Leon walked half a run carrying the eucalyptus oil he had taken from the medicine box.

"I've called the doctor to come here to check on you Mona" Leon said, massaging Monalisa's nape and pouring eucalyptus oil there.

"No need for Leon, I'm fine" Monaliza refused as she wiped her face with the tissue Leon had proffered her. Monaliza flipped over her body, her face looking pale and lethargic for Leon who saw her.

"But you don't look all right Mona," said Leon worried to see Monaliza vomiting, he looked down on Monaliza's face, touching the forehead of his lover who feels cold and moist by his cold sweat that continues to flow.

"Leon, i-, I'm really pregnant," Tangis Monaliza suddenly exploded.

Leon was flabbergasted, the back of his hand against Monaliza felt hollow, although he actually knew that what Monaliza said would happen, but still he was surprised to hear it. He embraced her body, and took her into his arms.

Her fear over this time finally happened as well, the incident that night made her lover Monaliza pregnant with the seeds of another man. Leon closed his eyes, unable to speak, feeling the tightness and pain in his chest. Even if he tried hard still the point of water at the end of his eyes forced out from the corner of his closed eyelids, describing the sadness that was very deep in his soul.

Monaliza was still in Leon's arms, afraid to attack him in the days ahead, the disappointment of her mother and sisters in him, and the disappointment of her, will the moral burden on the surrounding community who will know about her pregnancy outside marriage, the assessment and speech of her colleagues, and many more thoughts this and that she feared.

The two dissolve in their moods for a while, until Monaliza feels Leon loosening his arms on her body.

"How did you know you were pregnant with Mona? Did you use the test pack I gave you?" leon looked at his girlfriend's face.

Dirga's confession of the flesh and blood that was in Monaliza's womb when she was parked this afternoon again harassed her and she felt very disturbed because of it. Could it be that the man knew of Monaliza's pregnancy because her lover was also vomiting at work. It did not rule out the possibility that the man would actually snatch Monaliza from her.

"Yes, I used it this morning, and the result was positive, two bright red lines on the device, I'll show it to you," Monaliza opened her briefcase on the sink table, his finger searched for the object he was referring to, but seconds later he stopped his search and looked at Leon anxiously, with the remains of tears still attached to his face that still looked pale.

"That thing seems to be left in my house, Leon, what if you find it?"

Leon thought for a moment, although his heart was actually worried to hear the words of Monaliza.

"It's okay Mona, relax. Now you rest in the room. Tonight you don't have to go down to work, I've asked Keny for permission, because your condition doesn't allow you to work tonight" Leon tried to calm down. He led Monaliza into the room to rest.

Monaliza was lying in a bed with a thick blanket wrapped around her, while Leon was calling the doctor to cancel an appointment at Monaliza's request.

Leon glanced at Monaliza's hand, her lover suddenly hugged her from behind after she finished calling. Leon was transfixed, when Monalza's lips landed on his left cheek, his heart immediately palpitated, as Monaliza's lips crept towards her stiff lips.

One after another, Monaliza did not feel Leon reacting to what he was doing. Not without Monaliza doing it, she wanted to get an answer to her question that stuck in her heart for what had happened to her.

The lips were too cold, there was no warmth there. Not the same as the aggressive actions felt when he struggled hot in the hotel room that night, until Monaliza finally stopped her activities.

"Didn't you want me Leon?" lirih Monaliza looked at the face of Leon who also sad to see it.

"I want you Mona, even more than you know" Leon said in a trembling voice, enduring the pain he was feeling.

"But I don't feel it Leon, you don't even give me back" said Monaliza looking into Leon's clear eyes with tears welling up there.

This is the first time Monaliza has seen Leon. As long as he hangs out with her, the man never shows his weak side, he always puts his smile on the face of Monaliza, and always comforts her when she faces problems in family, school, and work. Also showing himself as the protector of those who tried to disturb him, the man acted as if his father was dead.

"I'm your guardian Monaliza, I swear to myself, I'll touch you when you're my wife" Leon's voice still rattled, the tingling tingle he felt affecting his vocal cords.

"That means-, this seed in my womb is not your son Leon," Monaliza bit her lower lip, holding her stuffing that seemed ready to explode, she already got a little answer from her own question.

Leon's soft gaze turned slightly sharp. "What do you mean Mona? Why are you saying that?" he looked into the eyes of his lover, trying to find answers to the words of the woman he loved so much.

"If you're my guardian, and you're determined not to touch me until we're a couple, but why did you sleep with me that night Leon, until I was pregnant now?" leon's face suddenly stiffened hearing Monaliza's words that broke his speech.

Leon seemed confused what to say, while Monaliza's back began to shake, still trying to hold back her tears.

Leon tried to grab Monaliza's body that was still sitting on her lap, but her lover refused her with a gesture of body movement.

"I can feel different things Leon-that night you were too aggressive-and demanding-but tonight-you were so different-you were so different-, not even responding to what I did to you, Leon," said Monaliza, her voice stammering and quivering as she tried hard to hold back the sobbing.

As long as they knew each other in the past four years, until the two decided to have a romantic relationship, Leon never acted out of bounds, just holding hands, kiss the forehead until hugging to give a sense of security only.

Leon was still silent and trying to be calm, but in his heart if it was like a room, the situation was chaotic and tacky, no longer shaped.

"Tell me Leon, how could there be another man sleeping with me that night? Aren't you my guardian?" said Monaliza makes Leon flabbergasted, how Monaliza could know that, he thought with the face stiffened again.
