LOVE THE RECEPTIONIST

66. Dinner

In the VIP room, which had been designed so much, with a full kitchen inside, there Monaliza and Han's mother were busy preparing their dinner while having a light chat about their favorite food.

"Madam," called Monaliza in doubt, after she finished cutting the vegetables and preparing the herbs according to mother Han's direction.

"What's up with Mona?" asked Han's mother without taking her eyes off the meat she was roasting on the roasting.

"I'm sorry" Monaliza said to the middle-aged woman who kept her grilled meat from maturation.

"I'm sorry for what Mona's son is?" ask Han's mother again.

"Because of having taken the position of the late Miss Megan beside Mr. Dirga," after saying that, Monaliza became clumsy, she saw that Han's mother stopped her hand movements on the roasting as if she was thinking.

It did not last long, Han's mother quickly lifted the grill and placed it on the serving plate because it was quite mature.

"You don't have to apologize, Mona, you didn't do anything wrong. Megan's gone, your position on Dirga's side is destiny" said Han's mother, stroking Monaliza's back gently.

"A few days ago Dirga came to see us to ask for the blessing of marrying a woman, you want Mona," Han's mother said, stirring the pasta in the pot she was cooking on the stove.

Monaliza was stunned staring at the deft hands of Han's mother who was making pasta, in fact she did not focus on what the middle-aged woman was doing, but rather her words. So close were Megan's parents to Dirga, that the man desperately needed their blessing? inner Monaliza.

"Dirga has also told us everything about you, including the future fetus in your womb," continued Han's mother frankly.

"J-fetus?" Monaliza gasped, embarrassed that Han's mother also knew she was pregnant, even before she officially became Dirga's wife.

"You don't need to be ashamed of Mona," said Han's mother as if she understood what Monaliza was thinking when she heard the young woman's nervous voice, pouring pasta over the roasted meat, then began sauteing seasonings formulated by Monaliza for sweet sour spicy crab favorite of her husband and Dirga.

"As Mama said earlier, Dirga has told me everything, including why you can carry her child," continued Han's mother again.

"S-everything?" monaliza's face reddened, she felt even more ashamed of the existence of herself whose disgrace was known by Han's mother and her husband as well of course.

"S-I feel very ashamed Madam," said Monaliza honestly expressing what she was feeling at the time.

"Have you said, you don't have to be ashamed of what has happened to you son Mona, Dirga has told you everything clearly, if what happened to you is not your fault son Mona," said Han's mother again in a comforting tone.

"If you may advise me, you must not be in contact with your ex-lover anymore" said mother Han looking at Monaliza with a serious face.

"Whatever the reason," added Han's mother. After saying that, he resumed cooking vegetables that had been cleaned by Monaliza.

Monaliza was stunned again, should Dirga convey about Leon also to the Han family, his inner being. Knowing all that, Monaliza felt Dirga was too trusting in the two former in-laws.

Feeling that Monaliza didn't say anything, Han's mother turned her head, "sorry Mama, we just met tonight, but Mama has talked too much about you and Dirga" she said, as if knowing what Monaliza was thinking.

"Oh, it's okay, ma'am. From all that Madam knows, I feel confident, Mr. Dirga's relationship with the Madam's family is indeed very close," said Monaliza who felt Han's mother knew what she was thinking.

Mother Han smiled, her pair of hands touching both of Monaliza's shoulders gently. "Don't call Madam, just call Mama" he said.

"I-iya Ma-ma," said Monaliza awkwardly, she still felt uneasy even though Han's mother was nice to her from the beginning they met.

Mother Han just smiled at Monaliza who looked still awkward and awkward to her, "later you will get used to calling me Mama."

"Let's bring all the food we've got to eat shirt" Han's mother said as she turned to the ready-made dishes.

Monaliza was only a good listener while enjoying her dinner, as the Han family discussed the restaurant with Dirga.

Although chatting and enjoying his own dinner, Dirga did not forget to pay attention to the plate Monaliza and fill it with side dishes and additional vegetables.

"I'm full" protested Monaliza seeing her plate being filled again.

"Eat, you need twice the usual intake you should eat" said Dirga staring at Monaliza who tried to resist.

"Yes, but my stomach is full" said Monaliza again maintaining her argument, she was embarrassed to eat too much more than others.

"You should eat a lot, son Monaliza. Because what you eat should be enough for two people. My wife used to be like that too. Isn't it Ma?" mr. Han said to his wife.

"Yes to Mona. Dirga and Papa are right, you do have to eat more than usual, so that the development of the fetus in your womb is also always progressing," said Han's mother to support the words of Dirga and her husband.

Monaliza's face immediately met red, between shame because her pregnancy was already known by mother and Mr. Han, happy because she got attention and was well received by the Han family in that place. In his heart he hoped, hopefully the Han family he just knew was really good people until later.

Mother and Mr. Han, also Dirga smiled at each other to see Monaliza who finally obeyed what they said by eating back her dinner.

...***...

"Don't forget to drink your milk and vitamins before going to bed tonight" Dirga said.

"Yes" said Monaliza briefly.

"Mother, I'll go home first. Good night," said Dirga. He grabbed Bianka's mother's hand, then kissed the back of her hand.

"Yes to Dirga. Be careful on the road" Bianka's mother said, smiling warmly.

Monaliza and her mother then drove Dirga to the front door. They looked at Dirga's return until he disappeared behind a narrow and deserted wall.

"Mona, Leon came here looking for you. It looks like she just had an accident, mother saw her breast wound that is still bandaged," Bianka's mother said as she walked in and noticed Monaliza who was closing the door tightly and locking it. The woman had just found out that Leon was in an accident, because Monaliza never said anything about the accident that hit Leon after returning from their home.

"Leon? What did he say, Mom?" monaliza looked at her mother.

"He still wants to be with you" said Bianka's mother, sighing.

"Then what did Mom say?" ask Monaliza curious.

"Mom said that it was impossible. Because you have to get married in a few days with Dirga's son" said Bianka's mother.

"Monaliza, I hope you can take good care of yourself, it's the same as you keep your future husband's honor. Forget Leon. He's a good man, but you're not a match for him" Bianka's mother said, gently rubbing her shoulder.

"Yes Ma'am," said Monaliza understood.

"Now go to sleep, the night is getting late," after saying so, Bianka's mother moved from the living room into her room.

Meanwhile, Monaliza went into the kitchen, brewed her pregnant milk and did not forget to take vitamins as Dirga ordered her.
