"Bye... See you soon !" Liza waved at the manyuning Enrique.
Because today is Liza's first day working at ST.Mary's Laboratory, Enrique insisted he wanted to drive her but Liza insisted he wanted to take a taxi only he was not a child who should always be considered, right?
Yes, I don't know the luck of where from the many freelance interviews he and one other person who graduated as a lab assistant.
Liza was grateful after their unimportant disagreement yesterday, she could be more open with Enrique. Liza expressed what she disliked about Enrique. And Enrique? He said he liked everything in Liza. It sounds horrible, but maybe that's the truth Liza thought with a happy smile.
...***...
"Hey. let me introduce myself, my name is Liza Tuffahati from Indonesia. Nice to meet you!" lisa said while bowing her respects to her working partner Nicholas andreas Michelo.
"I'm Nicholas andreas Michelo happy to meet you". Nicho replied while holding a smile.
"Huhuh? Do you speak indonesian?" Liza asked feeling silly.
"That's my extra course on campus". Nicho replied proudly.
"Oh.my, Liza gawked at hearing that.
"But still not perfect like you!" Nicho said humbled himself.
...***...
It turns out that working in a pharmacy Lab a hospital is very tiring, everyone is serious about their individual achievements. Liza became lab assistant professor Aitken Jhon Adam. He is friendly, but he does not like to talk.
Unlike Nicho, he got a female professor who likes to talk without dots and commas. Liza held back a smile looking at Nicho who was shaking his head as he walked behind Mrs Joanna who spoke very smoothly without stopping.
Until the break Nicho approached Liza who sat beside the hospital staff and sat beside her while putting a tray on the table.
"Hey...tiring days, right?" Nicho asked more of himself.
"You asked me?" Liza held back her smile mocking Nicho.
"Ohh..ayollah, stop mocking me". Nicho pretends to sulk.
"Ok well". Liza smiled broadly.
Karyawati next to Liza scares at their conversation and prefers to finish her food ignoring Liza and Nicho.
"What time are you home?" Nicho asked while looking at the clock in his hand.
"Hour 5pm, at the turn of the shif". Liza answered, spreading her shoulders.
"You? Don't tell me you work late on the first day?" Liza put on a look of shock.
"Yes.that's it!" Nicho replied tiredly.
"I'm a little suspicious. Don't-don't Mrs.Joanna like you, so she's looking for a reason to stay with you longer". Liza giggled slowly.
Nicho widened his eyes, then laughed with Liza without being held back. Fortunately, the cafeteria was in a crowded state. So no one is watching them. It's just that the nuns beside Liza gave a slight glance of dislike to them.
...***...
"You don't have to drive me Nicho, you'll be looking for Mrs Joanna". Liza said to Nicho who was walking beside her.
"Leave it, I'm just driving you to the gate". Nicho insists.
Arriving outside Liza's gate was intent on stopping the taxi. But just as he wanted to raise his hand the familiar baritone voice stopped the movement of his hand.
"Hey...Enrique greeted Liza.
"Hey...what are you here for? Liza asked in wonder.
"I want to pick you up, can't I?" Enrique didn't like it.
"No, I like it baby. But I don't want to trouble you". Liza chimed in with guilt. He did not want to disappoint Enrique.
"Ehemm.he heard another baritone voice behind him.
"Ohh..iya, meet Nicho my coworker". Liza felt guilty ignoring Nicho.
Enrique stared dislikefully at the man who had been tailing his woman. But still extend a hand to him. It was like familiar with the face of the man.
"Enrique Alfaro Leonardo's". Enrique mentioned his name briefly.
"Nicholas andreas Michelo". Nicho replied politely.
Michelo's. It was as familiar as that name. But he forgot where he had heard it. Thought Enrique.
"All right, I'm Nicho first...See you later". Liza walked after Enrique to his car. Nicho just waved his hand for a moment before turning back inside the gate.
...***...
Enrique threw himself on the couch in Liza's living room.
"I don't like that guy!" Enrique said as he looked at Liza who followed him sitting on the sofa beside him.
"Ohh.come on, don't start Enrique. He's just a coworker no more". Liza is lazy. He's been too tired in the lab, and now being interrogated by an Enrique isn't what he needs.
"No, I'm not jealous of him. It's just that I feel like something's wrong with her". Enrique muttered more to himself.
"You mean?" Liza asked in wonder.
"Let's go. Just don't get too close to him, I don't like it!" Enrique said firmly.
"alright...Liza said she ended their debate.
"I'll take you tomorrow!" Enrique stood up from his seat.
"I went in a bit unlucky, professor Aitken told me to come over for lunch, he had a show outside. You don't have to drive me". Liza was trying to give her understanding.
"Well, but I'm gonna get alex to drive you". Enrique calls his assistant in the office.
"Ohhh.Of course Enrique, Alex must be tired of his job. There's no need to add to her work" Liza evaded.
"Ok fine.but I'll find you a driver after this, so you don't have to take a taxi anymore. No more offers." Enrique ended when Liza intended to open her mouth again.
"I'm up first". Enrique passed by while kissing Liza's lips at a glance.
"All right." That's all Liza can say. It's free to keep arguing with Enrique.
...***...
At exactly 22:00 p.m., Enrique entered Liza's room and lay down beside her.
"Hey...Enrique hugged Liza from behind. Liza did not bully him and remained silent.
"Are you still angry about this afternoon?" Enrique asked slowly. He breathed the fragrance of Liza greedily.
"You want to sleep here?" Liza switched the conversation. Didn't he ask to stay apart? If Enrique always sleeps with him then what's the difference? Think Liza.
"Are you not happy?" Enrique.
"No, that's not what I meant. It's just that I might one day need Enrique's own". Liza said slowly trying not to offend him.
As of right now he was tired and arguing with Enrique was not what he needed. Enrique's too tight. Determine what is and cannot be for Liza. Come onl...Liza is a 24-year-old woman? Liza isn't a fat dede who needs to be taken care of wherever she goes.
Enrique's stunned. Liza doesn't want it. Her thought. A feeling of pain so deep suddenly overflowed in his heart. At the same time Enrique got out of Liza's bed.
"Hey...Liza woke up instantly from her sleep.
"Enrique.I didn't mean to throw you out!" Liza panicked, she was afraid Enrique misunderstood.
"It's okay, Princess. I understand you need it yourself, right? I just follow what you want". Enrique replied with a brief smile.
"I'm sorry, I just need a little time alone". Liza said weakly, she feels guilty to Enrique now. This is not what it means.
"Its ok. see you later" Enrique passed leaving Liza stunned again.
The next day Enrique did not stop by Liza's apartment at all like the day before. He really avoided it.
Liza started her day with a little bit of spirit left. If Enrique avoids him, he will come to him. With the plan to make Enrique lunch, he started the day more excited. While whistling happy he entered the bathroom to clean himself.
...***...
With a bit of courage Liza walked past the security guard at the front gate. They can't possibly ban him from entering, right? Think Liza.
But one of the security guards looked at him with a suspicious look. But then ignore Liza. However, if he does not have an employee card or guest permission, he will not be able to enter. Think security.
Liza walked while carrying Enrique's lunch with more confidence.
He walked slowly towards the lobby.
"Excuse me..!" Liza greets friendly.
"Yes.can I help you ms?"
The beautiful receptionist asked politely.
"Can I meet Mr. Leonardo?"Liza asked carefully.
"Sorry Ms,
Did you have made an appointment before?" The receptionist asked back.
"Ahh, not yet precisely.but I just want give this for him".
Liza insisted while showing Enrique lunch in her hand.
"I am sorry ms.i cant let you come in without that. Sorry..." The receptionist asks for understanding.
"Ahh..okkay, sorry for disturbing you.Thanks...Liza passed by lethargic.
"You are welcome." The receptionist was feeling kasian with Liza, instead of disbelieving with Liza. It's just that since this morning eleven women have wanted to meet Enrique without an appointment. Not even a few who claim to be their boss's girlfriend. And it happens almost every day. Isn't that exhausting?
Pupus was hoping Liza would surprise Enrique.
Liza walks with gontai. But the voice of the baritone Enrique stopped him.
"Princess...!!!" Enrique shouted to Liza. He intends to get out of the office looking for fresh air and may be able to briefly go home to see Liza. Somehow not seeing Liza for a second makes her sick of doing anything.
Liza turned around and smiled broadly seeing Enrique approaching her. Everyone looked curiously at him. The receptionist serving Liza earlier also looked surprised.
"Hey....!" Enrique greeted Liza with a stupor, he ran over to approach Liza no matter everyone was watching them.
"Hey...!" Liza returned the spirit.
"What are you doing here? And you want to go home?" Enrique glanced at the door leaf that was already close to Liza.
"I intend to meet you and give you this". Liza handed Enrique lunch.
"Yes, then?" Enrique was pleased with Liza's attention.
"I can't go in?" Hee...Liza.
" here....Enrique hugged Liza anxiously with one hand.
"Liza...!" Enrique called the receptionist who turned out to be named Liza as well.
"Name Liza?" Liza asked in surprise, astonished to see the receptionist who was caught approaching them.
"Yes.the name is Liza". Enrique smiled meaningfully.
The receptionist approached them.
" Yes sir ?" the receptionist asked fearfully.
"Just listen to me liza.she is Ms.Tuffahati, my fiance" Enrique said seriously.
"Enrique, don't you blame him.he doesn't even know me" whispered Liza.
"I am sorry sir.i dont know her your fiance. "the receptionist apologized sincerely.
"It's ok Liza. But, you must remember her face, don't ever forbidden her again meet me, understand?" Enrique said seriously.
"Yes sir, I am understanding "the recepcionist nodded obediently.
"OK.you can back !" Enrique.
"Thank you sir !"The receptionist turned around leaving Enrique and Liza.
Enrique turned to look at Liza.
"You want to go to my office?" Enrique raised his eyebrows next door.
"Can I?" Liza asked enthusiastically.
"Of course, who can ban you" Enrique hugged Liza back and led her into the elevator.
Arriving at Enrique's office. Liza serves Enrique dimeja lunch. Enrique devoured everything with pleasure.
Enrique had no idea what the name of the food Liza cooked for him, Liza shaped it funny like a penguin.
But everything feels good. Thought Enrique.
"You still mad at me?" Liza asked in fear after Enrique finished his meal.
Enrique turned his head and looked at the old Liza's face.
"I won't be able to get mad at you princess, I'm just disappointed and scared". Enrique said slowly.
"Fearful?" Liza parroted Enrique's words.
"Fear, I'm not unwanted by you". Enrique replied while leaning his head against Liza's shoulder.
"Why do you think that?" Liza rubbed Enrique's face dear.
"Let's see.just I've never been rejected". Enrique hugged Liza tightly.
"Enrique, don't ever think like that I'm only yours. Believe...!" Liza returned Enrique's hug.
"really?" Enrique looked at Liza's face seriously.
"Yes..." Liza stared back at Enrique.
"Then why don't you marry me? Enrique asked sadly.
Liza put her face back.
"Look, I don't refuse to marry you if you remember? I just want us to get to know each other first" Liza gave an understanding.
Enrique edged back.
"Well, how about we go to my parents' house tonight?" Enrique said enthusiastically.
"What's? At your parents' house?" Liza is worried.
"Yes, to my parents' house. Do you mind?" Enrique asked worriedly.
Does he mind? Of course not. The question is is he ready? Inner Liza hesitated.
"Eumhhh.
Enrique immediately smiled broadly at Liza's reply.
" Thank you" Enrique again hugged Liza tightly.
But Liza then moved from her seat suddenly.
"What's wrong?" Enrique asked in wonder.
"I have to get to the lab now!!!" Liza started to get busy picking up her bag and walked hastily open the door.
"Hey..let me take you". Enrique woke up and followed Liza.
Enrique chased after Liza then laughed behind Liza seeing the strange behavior of the woman.
"Stop it Enrique". Liza said as she glanced at Enrique who was still laughing at her.
