Waiting for your Love to Grow

Lunch

He seemed busy at his desk. He had to complete some important designs with his team. After the job is done, he intends to see Denis.

"Yeah, doneii..... Alhamdulillah**", he said happily while raising his hands up wriggling as if heavy loads had come down from his shoulders.

"Team was like our plan in the beginning, so are we having lunch outside?", yelling a bit for the rest of the team to listen.

Everyone in the room boisterously answered Nabila's question.

Previously Nabila and his team agreed to lunch outside the office if they finished with their project. They were eating at a restaurant across the street from the office. Not because they want to party, because what they choose is also not an expensive restaurant. Just want to reduce saturation with a menu in the office cafeteria and consolidate their team.

"I went to the boss's room first huh, let's have his lunch off together", picked up the phone lying on his desk and put it in his blazer pocket then went outside his room.

Arriving at the 26th floor, he immediately met Karina, Denis' secretary.

"Miss Karina! Can I meet Mr Denis?", said Nabila with a faint smile.

Karina who was busy with the papers she was holding, looked towards the person who greeted her.

" Oh mbak Nabila, a moment yes mbak I asked him first", in a soft voice, then raised the phone handle next to him.

"*Good afternoon Mr. Denis, there's Miss Nabila wanting to see you"

"Send in*!", replied the person across the phone.

"*Please enter mbak"

"Thank you Miss Karina*"

Without hearing Karina's reply, Nabila rushed towards Denis' room. That's the door to the room. After being invited to enter the person in it, Nabila immediately entered the room.

Denis, who realized that Nabila was in front of him, without stopping his work, said, "*I thought you'd be here".

"What do you mean yesterday came to see my mama*?", while crossing his hands in front of his chest, his face was turned to the left without wanting to see Denis.

Denis turned his chair until he faced Nabila.

"*As your mom told you, I went there to propose to you".

"Sorry Miss Nabila, my company is a place where people work.It is not appropriate for us to talk about personal problems in the office*"

Denis looked at the clock on his wrist.

"At lunchtime, if you'll come with me to lunch, I'll tell you about it", raising one eyebrow up.

"I'm sorry I can't, me and the team have already made an appointment for lunch outside" he replied.

"As far as you miss, it's just an offer" while folding both hands behind the head that rests on the chair.

Without saying anything, Nabila turned around and rushed outside the room with a pouting face. He opened the door and closed it hard. Until Karina who saw it seemed to ask questions in her mind.

Along the way to his room, Nabila continued to grumble. He cursed the attitude of his superiors that made him very upset.

********

Lunch time has come. Nabila and the team are already inside the restaurant as planned. Everyone ordered food as they wished.

When the food came, they immediately ate it. Not half the food they ate, they were surprised by the arrival of two important people in the company where they worked, none other than Denis and his assistant. Uncommanded they stood up and lowered their heads.

After the two sat down in the chair they had ordered, they sat down and ate their food again.

Denis and Arsyad were sitting a short distance away from Nabila's table and his friends. Denis looked at Nabila from a distance. Nabila who accidentally saw Denis looking at him, immediately threw away his face as if he did not care about Denis's view.

Not long after, Nabila was shocked by the voice of the person who was already standing behind him.

"Miss Nabila, Mr. Denis is asking you to come to his desk right now" Arsyad's voice was slow but still heard by people who were like Nabila.
