21. The World Work Routine

That morning Aluna was back in her routine, with light steps she walked gracefully in a cream-colored dress that was collared with ribbon, combined with sparkling accessories and heels that were brown.

Her hair was wavy in one pigtail so that it showed her straight and white neck.

"Mother Aluna?" Call security as he walks through the entrance.

Aluna stopped her steps and turned to look at the security, "What's the matter sir?" he asked as security approached.

"This is a daycare for mom!" Answer the security thrust a parcel that has not been known its contents.

"Who are you, sir?" He asked as he grabbed the parcel.

"I don't know Mom, she didn't mention her name." Reply to that security.

Aluna glanced around her office courtyard, but there was nothing suspicious or someone she knew.

Aluna raised both eyebrows "Thank you sir!" He said and continued his steps.

While Arlan, that day made a visit at the location of the FAMILY RESIDENCE project accompanied by Kris.

"Welcome, Mr. Arlan!" Greet the heads of the foremen and architects who were there while shaking hands.

"How is the development process, everything is going smoothly?" Arlan asked hoarsely researching around including the workers who were working.

"Currently sir, the current development is about 25 %." Answer the chief foreman.

"Let me drive around to get around!" Invite the architect and Arlan also follow him as well as Kris.

Arlan walked around the site looking at parts of the building, talking with some workers about the development process including the obstacles they experienced.

Arlan is typically meticulous and prioritizes mutual interests, including ensuring the comfort and safety of the workers on his project.

"How come sir is there something you think you lack or need to fix?"

"Mhh so far I see it still safe and in accordance with the planning!" The reply was hoarse while leaving the waist.

As Arlan chatted with the architect, in contrast to Kris who was silent but not with his eyes, he researched around and even observed the workers making sure everything that worked looked good.

Kris is an adult male figure who is the same age as Arlan, a widower with 1 child because his wife died while giving birth to his beloved daughter.

Medium skin can be said not to be white nor black, nose pointed, has black neutrals and medium lips, quite handsome especially the posture is classified as high strapping.

He is quite intelligent and his thoughts are in harmony with Arlan, making them not just coworkers but the only person closest to Arlan in the company.

"Then we'll excuse you sir!" Pamit Arlan's.

"Okay, please!"

Arlan and Kris stepped out of the architect and headed to the parking lot. While releasing the yellow-colored helems on his head.

"How's Kris?" Arlan asked when he was in the car so that only the two of them knew the conversation between them.

"Sir, everyone is in position!" Reply Kris.

I don't know what they mean, but certainly Arlan always has his own plans and thoughts that are difficult to guess as a form of protection for him.

They leave the project site and return to the company to continue other work.

Arlan knows that at this time his position is very unsafe, there have been many things that he has always faced during his time as CEO, but he always managed to get through and solve every problem.

Returning to Aluna who was already in the room, he was seen working together with Helen completing a jewelry set order from a client.

This one client has its own uniqueness, he never ordered only one jewelry but always ordered 1 complete set containing a pair of earrings, necklaces, rings and bracelets.

Only Helen and Aluna are always ready to complete their orders that seem a little complicated and picky. Even Aluna who has become a popular designer at her company sometimes has to do several revisions.

"What if the gem is a little bigger?" Ask Helen.

"May, but remember she doesn't like it if the model is too pointy!" Reply Aluna.

"OK!"

"For the bracelet it is better to add some blue gem points!" Aluna.

"It can, but don't forget he doesn't like it if the color is too flashy too dark!" Helen also reminded.

"Bere's all I've noted, later stay adjusted to the right color during the production process!" Reply Aluna.

"I just reminded him before he said,,,"

"I don't like the model. It's too old and tacky, I don't like the color of the village either!" They say compact imitate the style of his clients and then glance at each other.

"Hehehe!" Compact chuckles small.

More or less that's the character of his special client. However, he has been a regular client for several years until it is difficult to refuse every request.

After finishing some pictures Aluna and Helen sat resting on the long sofa that was still in his room.

The two sat side by side leaning against the sofa while straightening their legs forward flexing the muscles. Being a designer is not easy, they must follow trends, have their own characteristics in each work, recognize the character and style of the client to make it easier to find a suitable design.

They should also be prepared to accept client requests or complaints that sometimes make them revise multiple times, in order for clients to keep trusting them. And the thing that is no less important is the ego, designers must keep the attitude also always open-minded.

"KRUYUK, KRUYUK,,"

"Don't you know, like I heard something?" Helen's voice brought her ears closer to Aluna's stomach to tease her when she heard her tummy rumbling.

"Helen,,,!" Lirih Aluna pouted a little.

"Hehehe!" Little chuckle, "You hungry?" Helen asked glanced at her new watch pointing at the number 11:00 towards noon.

"Oh yeah, some days I'm more laper!" Reply Aluna held her stomach.

"Mh, continue to nauseous vomit?" Helen looked at her friend curiously.

"These two days did not vomit, but there was still frequent nausea." Aluna and Helen nodded.

"Good, that means your condition is getting better!" Helen smiled and so did Aluna.

Aluna glanced at the parcel on her desk and picked it up before returning to sit next to Helen.

"What's that?" Helen asked, frowning a little curious.

"I also don't know what it is, it was security that gave him a deposit from someone."

Aluna opened the parcel, making her a little surprised when she saw the contents.

"Fruit salad?!" Helen looked at the contents of the parcel.

"Tin!"

Aluna picked up the phone on the table when she heard her phone notification go off.

"Hello madam, fruit is very good to meet the nutrition of pregnant women, I hope the nausea is reduced and the appetite is increased!" 😸

"Doctor Leo."

For the umpteenth time the notification from Leo's doctor came in, even this time delivering food for him, it was a little unique.

Aluna reviewed the small smile of reading the chat from Leo. Somehow Leo always gave positive energy to him from the moment he first met.

"Owh so his name is Doctor Leo!" Helen's silent voice - silent to read the chat from Leo suddenly made Aluna surprised to pull the phone towards her chest.

"Helen, you,,!" Lirih Aluna looked a little wrong.

"Try to explain to me what kind of relationship you have with him?" Helen shrugged her chin.

"Apaan anyway, he's a doctor recommended by Citra doctors." The reply.

"Related?" Back Helen asked a little squinting eyes researching Aluna's mimicry.

"Concure yourself!" Reply Aluna briefly.

"But,,,"

"Helen Client! He must have been waiting!" Aluna reminded her of her appointment plan with the Client while pushing Helen's body away from the sofa.

"CK!" Decak Helen, "Ok. Ok. I'm leaving now!" Reply Helen moved from her seat while carrying her bag with her favorite tiger pattern.

"Remember you owe me an explanation!" He pointed at Aluna with a light tone and Aluna just rolled her eyes seeming to ignore Helen's words.
