Secret Denis
Fifty Nine

Alex is back in the office. He returned to his work that seemed endless. Her crumpled face signified how heavy the work she had to finish was. But Faisal knew, that was not the cause of the loss of the aura of happiness from the face of his superior.

Faisal had been paying attention to his superior ever since coming from his meeting with Viola. No words were spoken from the lips of his superior. His face was flat with his mouth tightly clenched. He just kept quiet and took his work very seriously.

"You're not coming home, sir? It's past the office." Faisal reminded me very carefully. Alex saw the clock in his left hand.

"You might be late if you don't get home soon." Faisal added when Alex did not say a word.

"I'll get out of here." Alex's voice is short. He just needs to change his clothes and does not need preparation like women do. And the clothes he needed were already available in his special room in his study.

Faisal nodded in understanding with the intent of Alex's words. He didn't ask much either. Know that the mood of his boss is not good.

By seven o'clock in the evening, Alex tidied up his desk. Walking towards his private room which he often occupied lately since Denis did not return to his residence.

Faisal waited while playing his phone reading some information about the business and stocks. Sometimes he stared at the door of Alex's room that was still closed. She moved her head slowly as she recalled Alex's expression which was very far from a happy hue ahead of her engagement. What he sees is, Alex is deeply tormented by his plans to propose to Viola.

Faisal did not understand why Alex had so forced himself to propose to Viola while his own heart did not want that. It is conceivable, how when the mouth and heart are not in line.

"How's it?" Alex stood before Faisal and asked his assistant to rate his performance.

"You're so charming, sir." Faisal smiled flirtatiously as he looked at Alex. Alex grinned while displaying a ringing in his face.

"Very disgusting."

Faisal chuckled softly.

Just as Alex had entered the car, Viola had already called him asking where he was.

"I'm leaving already. I'm definitely coming, Vio." Alex hung up the phone call with a slight annoyance and kept it back in his pocket.

He didn't want to think of anything more now. Whether or not his decision to ask for Viola, it doesn't matter anymore. Let him just do this. No matter what happens, he will face it. Though it might be the regret that he will get.

The car drove at a moderate speed towards a very famous luxury hotel.

In a restaurant room in the area of the hotel, Viola and his parents were already sitting sweetly at the table that had been ordered by Faisal on behalf of Alex of course.

Viola looked almost out of patience waiting for Alex to come. His mother kept giving Viola messages while waiting for Alex to come.

Viola smiled broadly at Alex who was walking gallantly wrapped in clothes that were very fitting with his body. He stood up to greet Alex who was only accompanied by Faisal. Both Viola's parents also stood up to welcome the prospective daughter-in-law who seemed to amaze anyone.

"Sorry for waiting." Alex slightly bent his body and pulled a little of his lips.

He then sits next to Rahman, Viola's papa, opposite Viola. Faisal took a seat next to his superior after saluting everyone there.

A waiter brought a menu book and started writing food and drink orders.

Viola unceasingly looked at Alex with a smile that could not escape his lips.

"Alex, thank you for taking the time to meet the family. At first I wanted to invite you home. But om know you have a lot of busyness that you can not leave. After your father's departure, all the burdens are on your shoulders. Om can understand your situation. Moreover, you handle all things alone." Rahman opened the conversation after the waiter left.

"Thank you for caring about me. That's why I also thought to immediately have my life companion so that there are people I can share with. Share everything in my life. Happiness, sadness. And after all this time, I believe that the right person for me to live with is Viola, the daughter of om. For this reason, on this occasion, I would like to ask for the blessing of om and aunt, to allow me to propose to Viola to be my life friend in the future." Alex said straight to the heart of the meeting. Rahman and his wife stared at each other with smiles of happiness looking perfectly fluffy in their lips.

And Viola more. It felt like he was out of breath because of peerless happiness. Dreams from many years ago are now approaching reality. The man she wanted so much was now proposing to her parents.

"Om very happy to hear all you mean this very good. For a long time, ever since your father was around, Om really hoped to bring our family together. But you cannot impose your own will. Now that you have expressed your desire to edit Viola, of course, om gladly and with open arms accepted your good intentions. It's just that as a parent, of course the decision is in Viola's hands. Om will follow whatever decision he makes. Is that right, ma?" Rahman turned to his wife for support for what he had just said.

"Yes. Mama's also happy to let you edit Viola." Utami, her mother Viola smiled at her daughter who looked so happy. Of course, there is no need to be asked what decision Viola will give. The answer is very clearly implied.

"Even if you know your answer, Vio. But here everything should be clear. Are you willing to accept Alex's proposal or not? Hmm?" Rahman looked at his daughter with a slight tease. Of course he knows how his daughter feels about Alex. That need not be questioned anymore. It's not that he won't help his daughter to get Alex. But he also knows how Alex feels about his daughter. He didn't want to force his will on Alex. Because for him, marriage must be on the basis of loving each other.

He is also very surprised when Alex declares his intention to propose to Viola. But after seeing his daughter so happy at Alex's wishes, Rahman did not want to delay Alex's good intentions. Even the plan, he would immediately ask Alex to marry Viola as soon as possible after this engagement event.

Viola smiled shyly getting a question from her papa. Her beautiful eyes were staring at Alex.

"Vio accept, Pa."

A word of thanksgiving was heard from the mouths of Rahman and Utami.

Faisal immediately opened the ring box and handed it to Alex to be pinned on Viola's ring finger. Alex got up from his seat and walked over to Viola.

"Alex!! Watch out!!.."

Dorr!!
