LOVE THE RECEPTIONIST

55. Accustoming Yourself

Monaliza was glued to her seat staring blankly ahead, her hand still holding her cellphone attached to her earlobe. He was sure, Leon was in an accident because he heard his decision last night to accept Dirga.

"Can I see him at Keny's hospital?" ask Monaliza slowly.

"You Can Look at Leon at noon, you won't be there because you're in the office" Keny said.

"Well, I'll be there later, sister," after saying so Monaliza hung up her phone and kept the flat object in her briefcase.

"Leon why Mona?" rullina asked shortly after seeing her best friend save her phone.

"Leon, he was in an accident after coming home from my house last night" said Monaliza with a sad face.

"There's so much pity on her," murmured Rullina also grieved.

"Then how is he? Is Leon okay," asked Rullina again.

"Entah Ru, until now Leon is still unconscious said brother Keny," explained Monaliza. After saying so he resumed his work which was delayed by receiving a call from Keny.

Although it is very difficult to concentrate on his work because he is still thinking about Leon's condition, Monaliza still tries to do it as a professional form of work.

Rullina did not continue her question even though there was still much she wanted to know. He resumed his work just like Monaliza.

After some time passed, Monaliza tidied up her notebooks that had moved important data into the computer.

"I let you go out first Ru, want to see Leon in the hospital," said Monaliza, she grabbed her briefcase which she kept in the bottom desk drawer.

"Didn't you have lunch first, Mona? Remember, there's one more life in your body, and you can't be late for lunch so you don't get sick and your fetus can grow up healthy, too," rullina said in a advising style to make Monaliza a little smile on her lips.

"It doesn't matter to Rullina, I was in a hurry, afraid that the clock might run out on the way," said Monaliza immediately stood up from her seat.

"You can't go anywhere before you eat your lunch" pointed Dirga at the boxes she was carrying.

Monaliza who was still half-standing was shocked at the presence of Dirga who suddenly appeared in front of the reception desk, as well as Rullina also looked up her head to look at the CEO who had a flat face as usual.

"But I'm in a hurry sir. The clock runs out" Monaliza gave an excuse.

"I won't let you go before you eat your lunch" Dirga said flatly.

"Again, you are no longer obligated to swipe at the man. You're not who you are anymore after you and your family accepted my proposal last night" Dirga said. He had previously heard the conversation of the two employees.

Rullina smothered her own mouth in shock at the conversation between Dirga and Monaliza, she was afraid that her golden voice came out without ethics to hear Dirga's statement that shocked her hearing.

Monaliza looked down at Dirga's flat face looking at her, "I don't want to eat, just let me and this baby be hungry" said Monaliza, not liking to hear Dirga's ban on her. Not usually he was as sorry and brave as that to his CEO.

Hearing Monaliza's words, almost Dirga immediately showed an attitude as a superior to his subordinates, but he immediately abandoned his intention to remember Firans's words which often advised to be able to take the attention of the future mother of his son.

He will not let his new struggle forward one step with his parents last night will end in vain because he cannot control himself to remain patient in dealing with the woman in front of him.

"Alright, you can swipe that 'your friend'," said Dirga finally still in his flat voice by emphasizing the word friend on Leon's name.

"Rullina, can you leave us here together? Go take a lunch break" Leon looked at Rullina who was still faithfully sitting in her seat.

"Well sir, I'm leaving now" Rullina immediately opened her desk drawer to grab her briefcase inside.

"Sir, let Rullina be here with me" said Monaliza, she felt sad and stubborn if only together with the CEO.

"Rullina is hungry too, she needs lunch. Isn't that Rullina?" sahut Dirga while asking for Rullina's support.

"Yes sir" said Rullina quickly.

"Now go, and don't forget to come back quickly, because I will accompany Monaliza to the hospital after finishing lunch, ' said Dirga again.

"Well sir," Rullina who has become accustomed in recent days to the style of expulsion of the company's leadership where she works is not much to say, only obediently and immediately left Monaliza who was increasingly uncomfortable with the aura of Dirga's presence at lunchtime.

Plus other employees who often pay attention to themselves and Dirga secretly as they pass the reception desk.

Dirga began to open the boxes of food he brought and put some in front of Monaliza," eat."

"You have to eat a lot of fish" Dirga brought closer one box of pink food containing salmon in front of Monaliza.

"The amount of protein, Vitamin-D, potassium, iodine, and omega three in fish is very good for the development of the baby, as well as the mother," added Dirga who did learn a lot about nutritional content for pregnant women and their babies.

"Sir Dirga, can you not look at me constantly, or Mr. Dirga away from here, I. will not be able to eat if it is like this," said Monaliza honestly.

"I really should be here to make sure you're spending all your lunch. I don't want nutritional intake for you and my future child is lacking" said Dirga gave a reason for his existence there.

"And from now on you have to get used to being around me, because we're getting married" said Dirga looking at Monaliza who always felt awkward around her.

Deggs. Deggs. Deggs.

Monaliza's heart beat straight away. Even though he knew Dirga's proposal last night would definitely lead to marriage, but still make his heart always beat fast every time he heard it.

Maybe if Leon says it, Monaliza will immediately smile and feel comfortable. But now who says it is Dirga, a CEO and owner of the company where he works. A man who always shows the charm of a leader's charisma, stiff, cold, and flat.

Being near him always makes Monaliza tense, shudder in horror, and deg-deg'an not careless, the world seems very slow to turn.

Could he be able to marry and survive with a man like Dirga. Just being near her made Monaliza feel a very uncomfortable aura.

"Don't forget to drink your juice until it runs out" said Dirga revealed a silence that had split between the two of them.

"Hm," Monaliza just muttered to answer Dirga's words to her.

He glanced at Dirga who was eating his lunch, the man just ate rice as a serving of Kindergarten, a small piece of meat covered in tomato paste and cheese, a piece of seasoned salmon, and a piece of meat, and a box full of half-cooked green vegetables, as well as some kind of fruit that has been cut neatly in his food box.
