Episode 58's. Gala Dinners

Dusk fetch night. The light of her sun began to be shrouded in dark mist and gradually disappeared. Meanwhile back and forth luxury cars sat in the white building. The building where the gala dinner took place.

Arumi stood at the doorstep welcoming the presence of invited guests from various circles. Arumi's smile expands adorning her beautiful face. At other times Arumi was busy checking every detail of the preparation for the event that night.

"How are we prepared, Brother Arka...?"

"Miss Arumi is so beautiful. Perfect.." praise Arka unconsciously. His eyes continued to look at Arumi.

Buk....!

"A....!" arka said as Arumi's fist dropped into her arm.

Arka grimaced with pain. The other hand rubbed the arm of Arumi's former punch.

"Focus, Sis..."

"Oh, sorry. I became unfocused because the lady looked so.." said Arka stopped.

Arka did not continue he said when he realized Arumi's perfectly rounded eyes glared at him.

"Em, sorry. Non Arumi why is here. The show will start in a few moments"

The atmosphere became quiet and a little noisy. Arumi stepped back and mingled in the crowd. Especially at this time is in progress the opening dance performance of Tanggai sanggar offerings. The screams really happened back then. The rhythm of the music is so sending the rhythm of the steps of the dancer. All eyes of amazement were fixed on the seven dancers who were acting on the stage.

"Congratulations, dear.the event tonight is so great. I was amazed" said Mirza who suddenly stood beside Arumi.

"thank you. All because of brother..."

"Because of me?"

"Yes. Because my sister has given me space to be myself. Thank you, yeah..."

"Hemm.." answered Mirza without any other meaning.

Heart ripples. The frowns he felt as Arumi said stopping by and tickled the tip of his heart. A smile also rose from the corner of his lips even for a moment and looked faint. Mirza's happiness is saved. And he didn't want Arumi or anyone to know about it. He was too proud to admit how he felt at the time.

"And now we welcome the person in charge of tonight's event, Miss Arumi Hirata...!"

Applause became boisterous filling the room welcoming the proclamation. Especially when Arumi stepped onto the podium.

"Assalamu'alaikum's chat... Good evening. Meet Arumi Hirata. I am nobody. But departing from a desire that turned into an ideal, I began a plan to carry out a painting performance that will begin tomorrow. And happiness pervaded all my soul as I watched the enthusiasm of the participants and also the welcome of the leading figures. Therefore I say countless thanks, including to Mr. Mirza Adyatma who has fully supported this event. Not to forget the famous painters who became my teachers, colleagues, all the organizing team, Mr and Mrs William , Mr. Edward Edwardian, the relevant government agency, the government agency, my mother and father were also present tonight. I also pray for someone who has always been an inspiration to my life, Yuki Hirata. She is my mother..."

"Waaaah....Yuki Hirata" muttered some people who knew very well who Yuki Hirata was.

"It turns out she is the daughter of Yuki Hirata, the famous painter." murmured the guest.

"Again thanks for everyone's participation and support..."

Arumi ended his speech and immediately stepped down from the podium. His steps felt so light after successfully issuing all his greatest wishes at that time. He again stood between Arka and Vanya who was still clapping like the others.

Mirza is now on the podium. His handsome face was always successful in drugging women until their murmurs reached Arumi's ears.

"Woah. Dream man"

"It's handsome, successful anyway..."

"But dear, his future wife is not worth it..."

"What do you mean?"

"His future wife is Arumi Hirata, physically not worth it. She is a tall girl who is only 150 cm tall"

"Arumi Hirata, the organizer of this event..."

"Yes..."

"You mean..."

"Haha....Because I would be willing to be made a wife to anything..."

"Duh, even his mistress I'm willing..."

Flirty....!" vanya said commenting on each of these murmurs.

"Hus..have not been too responded to"

"Hot ears and my heart. Very shallow in his mind. It must be just the physical that is the focus of his life" said Vanya annoyed.

Such was the unfortunate chatter of several guests that lasted until Mirza was done with the strands he said. Mirza remained standing on the podium as requested by the Officers for a joint photo session. Several figures immediately stood side by side with Mirza. Not to forget Arumi as the organizer also joined on the podium with others. Dankali's hands hooked the arms of Permana and Edward while breaking down a smile.

There is happiness that saves his soul. His smile endlessly adorned his face. A smile that signifies a gratitude for the implementation of the performance of the painting is also the presence of Edward and Ryu who are felt like an oasis in the middle of the desert. How not, when the loss of hope when the painting Yuki Hirata damaged Ryu came to give him hope. This is a blessing to Arumi whom she endlessly thanked. Especially now that he just found out that he has a brother seibu, namely Ryu Hirata.

After several times capturing togetherness in one frame, Arumi and others returned to the bottom of the podium and mingled with other invited guests while enjoying the dishes available.

"Boss, why not accompany Arumi? Is there something going on between you?"

"No. We're doing just fine. I just gave her space to be herself without my name..."

"What is that also Arumi's request..."

"That's how..."

"Honestly yes, Boss. I was impressed with Arumi. There are not many women like him. If he wanted to, he would definitely take the chance of sticking to your big name. Or instead he will always stick to you at this time, for the sake of showing his status with you at this time..."

"That's what I like about Arumi. It turns out that I used to be so shallow thinking about the criteria for finding a partner. It turns out that my comfort is not in physical beauty alone, but in the simplicity, determination and struggle of Arumi. A comfort that finally melted the ice of my heart. Comfort that gives birth to love. Just for her..."

"Ah, finally the Boss found a simple yet mutual love"

"Yes. I'm grateful to you. You always remind me. If it wasn't for your warning, I would still be caught in the trap of Andrea's love..."

"Ah, the boss can be ae." said Elvano while rejecting Mirza's arm with his arm.

"Eh, I'm your boss." said Mirza as she looked at Elvano with a playful look.

"Hahaha.iya, Boss. Excuse me. Don't cut my bonus." said Elvano, cupping his palms together.

"Hahaha, I'm afraid I'll cut your bonus too"

Meanwhile in the other corner of the room, Arumi's eyes were watching two men talking. Both are Permana and Edward. Unfortunately Arumi could not hear what the two people who had loved Yuki Hirata were discussing.

"I didn't expect, a man as cowardly as you, to dare to meet my daughter, Arumi"

"I did make a mistake. And that was the biggest mistake of my life. I've wasted Yuki. And I've known it for a long time and been a regret for the rest of my life..."

"Well, then what's your purpose in meeting Arumi..?"

"I don't have any intention. I just wanted to meet Yuki. I want to apologize. But baby, I'm late. He has preceded me. In addition, we also want to collect what is the ideal of Yuki, namely painting"

"We?"

"Yes. Me and our boys. Ryu. Did Yuki never mention our boy? Or call our other daughter?"

"You..."

"I know, Permana. I know about Arumi. Hirata Arumi. Now are you being a coward to face the other realities about Arumi..."

"Don't try to interfere with my relationship with Arumi" Permana said, staring intently at Edward.

While his hands were really clenching violently. There was a wave of anger that was ready to become a storm in his heart.

"Hahaha.just calm down. I'm not that naive" Edward said, patting Permana on the shoulder.

Arumi's eyes grew sharper looking at the two men. His heart became curious as well as worried. Especially when looking at the reaction on the faces of the two in the middle of the chatter.

"What are they talking about until anger and anger are clearly drawn on the faces of the two? Is this about mom? Or something else." Arumi's inner.
