"Good afternoon Monaliza," a greeting echoed a woman entering the kitchen.
Monaliza, who was busy with her work preparing lunch, immediately turned her body around. Even though he could guess who the owner of the voice was, he was still surprised to see a guest who came to see him in the middle of the day.
"M-I'm sorry Non, I've tried to prevent it, but this Mistress still forced her to enter," Aunt Nia felt bad.
"It's okay Bi, Auntie can leave us alone" said Monaliza.
"Yes, neither Non," hearing Monaliza's words, the housekeeper immediately passed obediently.
"Mrs, you came here? What's the need?" Monaliza, who did not feel a good relationship between herself and the middle-aged woman, asked some unfriendly questions.
"As a good host, won't you let me sit down first, have lunch together, and then we'll talk?" said Mrs Gamsonrich with a smile.
"A good guest, can't go straight into the kitchen? Isn't it only in the guest room if you want to visit?" monaliza won't lose.
"However, since I am a generous and generous person, I have no objection to offering and sharing lunch with you Madam" he said with a smile made amiable.
"Heum, shocking. It turns out that marrying a rich man like Mr. Dirga Surya, makes you dare to answer me that way," he said with a cynical smile. Hearing the words of his uninvited guest, Monaliza only smiled blandly.
"Come, please sit down, it is not good to refuse the windfall in plain sight," Monaliza pulled the chair, inviting Miss Gamsonrich in a deliberately respectful manner.
"After becoming the wife of a rich man, you still act like a waiter, preparing your own lunch, not your housekeeper's assistant" said Gamsonrich, looking around from his seat.
"A good wife should prepare food for her husband with her own hands, so that the one who gets the praise is herself, not her domestic assistant," Monaliza thrust the plate she had filled right in front of her guests.
Mrs Gamsonrich did not say anything, she did feel insinuated. During his time as a wife and a mother, he rarely went to the kitchen to cook for his family, all done by his household assistant, he said, so that she never heard her husband or two sons praise the results of her cooking.
"That feels good. Your husband must love it and praise your cooking," said Mrs Gamsonrich after several mouthfuls entered his mouth.
"The lady is right, my husband always eats what I cook. Including the dishes we eat now, I've sent them through my husband's private driver. For me, cooking is one form of serving a husband who is the duty of a wife, and getting compliments is the bonus."
Mrs Gamsonrich looked at Monaliza, the shadow of Leon who loved the woman who was smiling happily in front of him at this time made him suddenly sad.
"You look so happy with your marriage" the remark just popped out of his mouth. If only he had not hindered his son's love for the woman he despised, Leon would not have been as miserable as he is today, his mind.
Monaliza paused her eating activities for a moment, she looked at the woman who was always rude and bragged before her in the past, she felt something was happening. Could it have something to do with Leon? Was her ex-boyfriend unhappy in his marriage? Monaliza immediately dismissed her thoughts.
When she accepted the proposal and married Dirga, she decided to forget everything about Leon, whatever it was. It is not easy, but with a strong determination, slowly he can accept the fact that Dirga is the father of his baby who must be loved with sincerity.
Monaliza did not say anything, she resumed eating by adding the portion of food that had been exhausted in her plate.
"Madam may add more," he bargained again to Miss Gamsonrich.
"No thanks" the middle-aged woman's one hand moved, hinting that she didn't want to add any more. He drank a glass of water, cleaning the corners of his lips with a piece of tissue.
After lunch, Monaliza invited Gamsonrich to move into the guest room.
Mrs Gamsonrich had looked around, paying attention for a moment to the situation of Monaliza's home. In his heart he admired the beauty and arstistics of the arrangement of the room, it was not inferior to his residential home.
"Mrs, what did you mean by coming to our house?" monaliza asked, seeing Leon's mother looking around her.
"Monaliza, I apologize to you, for what happened between us" he said, starting the conversation, taking his seat opposite the host.
Monaliza was stunned for a moment, she never expected that the rich and arrogant woman would be able to say an apology to her like now, considering in the past, there were only insults, insults, and insults, and the condescending attitude of the middle-aged woman's mouth towards her poor self.
"I see you're happy with Mr. Dirga, and I'm happy to see him in person" he said, staring fixedly at Monaliza's face, which also looked at him with a watchful look, the woman's gaze finally decreased on Monaliza's bulging belly.
Monaliza did feel a bad feeling from the beginning of the woman entered her house by force, but she still gave a chance, he continued, it's possible that his premonition was too exaggerated due to the influence of his past relationship with Leon's mother which was never good.
"Can you share your happiness with Leon, so that we can also feel the happiness you are feeling right now" he said floating. He deliberately did so to find out Monaliza's initial reaction to what he would say next.
"What does Madam mean? I don't understand" asked Monaliza puzzledly as she furrowed her eyebrows.
"I can't possibly ask you to divorce Mr. Dirga and return to my son Leon, that's too cruel. I just want the baby you gave birth to later, handed over to Leon," he said without further ado, Monaliza was immediately stunned to hear. The old woman, it turned out that she had not changed, even grew more evil in her heart with her face still stunned to hear the unexpected request from the woman before her.
"Splitting a child from her parents is the cruelest act of the Lady" Monaliza still looked at the woman in front of her with a look of disbelief, as easily as she uttered the words to ask for her baby.
"It's only Leon's with you, so you have to give it back after the baby is born" he said.
Monaliza was stunned again, she then shook her head, still could not believe if the woman was able to talk like that.
"Madam heard himself from my husband's mouth when we were both in the hospital when Leon was in a coma, that this baby in my womb was his flesh and blood. And Leon has also admitted, if this is not his flesh and blood," said Monaliza, pointing at her large belly.
"That's just their confession, you don't actually know who your baby's father is? Leon or Dirga," said Mrs Gamsonrich remained adamant, hoping her remarks could affect the interlocutor.
"Enough! I trust my husband and Leon, they don't lie. Please Madam get out of this house! Maybe Madam forgot, if Madam ever refused the baby in my womb." expelled Monaliza, she was already impatient to face the woman.
"You dare to throw me out?"
"Bad people deserve to be expelled. I think the Madam has changed, apparently not. I've already fulfilled the Madam's request to stay away from Leon.so, don't disturb my life anymore." Monaliza stood up from her seat, she went to the door, with one hand to her left, allowing her guests to leave immediately.
Lady Gansonrich stood up, she approached Monaliza who was standing by the door, "I hope you won't regret your treatment of me today. You know, I can do anything. Anything! Remember that," he threatened in his usual angry tone, then walked out.
Monaliza sighed, she closed the door tightly and locked it.
