The spacious and magnificent atmosphere of the hotel ballroom is decorated with sparkling lights and greenery decorations and eye-cooling flowers. On the front there is an entertainment stage and in every corner on the LCD monitor screen. The seats are arranged in a circle on each table. On the right and left side there is a table with food and drinks available.
ARD's Corp's birthday party carries two themes, tonight the party is held at the hotel, tomorrow morning from the company's representatives will provide compensation to the poor and orphanages.
Space arrangement, the, decorations and arrangements have been submitted to the Party Organizer or Event Organizer (EO), while the waiters are only in charge of transporting food and drinks from the restaurant kitchen to the Ballroom and also to serve the guests. There is also food ordered from the Catering.
There were many guests at this party. They were mostly from business associates and employees of ARD's Corp, and a small part from relatives of Ardiansyah's family as well as invited journalists.
Sisi and Aris have arrived at the hotel ballroom, every time there is a waitress who passed by and out of the hotel, Sisi pay close attention to their faces. However, because some of their faces were covered in masks, it became difficult to recognize his cousin's brother.
Sisi ventured closer to a waiter who was arranging drinks on the table.
"Sorry, Ma'am. Do you know a waitress named Tania?" ask Sisi trying to ask.
"Sorry, Ma'am. I don't know, I'm busy." The servant replied with a judge.
Sisi has also repeatedly made phone calls to Tania's HP number, which Edos loved, but not also lifted. Yes it is not appointed Sisi, Tania's mobile phone will be stored in the locker.
The flashback
Rifki delivers Tania to the Ballroom of the Hotel, where there is already a waiter coordinator from the designated Event Organizer. The coordinator will then direct what tasks must be done by the waiter during the event.
"Sir, this is an additional waiter requested from Ardimart," Rifki resigned to a team of coordinators who were busy doodling his book.
"Oh yes, Mas. Please sit down, Mother. This gig," said Dewi.
Tania looked at the girl for a long time.
"Devi!" call Tania out loud.
Surprised, the so-called one diverted his attention from the book he was holding.
"Tania!" call the coordinator
"It turns out you're here" said Tania sumringah as she was able to meet her classmates.
"Eh, where's Edos? Why isn't Edos the one who took you?" devi asked whispering.
"Next time I tell you," replied Tania.
Rifki smiled amusedly hearing what they whispered. Devi gets Tania a uniform.
"Promise next time! Here, Tan. Change your costume, your things will be placed in an empty locker in the room over there, you have the key," Devi told me.
"Okay, I change clothes first" she said, leaving.
"Him a minute, Tan. This is your ID-card" Devi said again handing over the ID-card to Tania.
"Thank you, Dev," said Tania.c"Mas Rifki went home first" Tania told Rifki.
"You're brave yourself, aren't you?" ask Rifki make sure.
"How dare, Mas. Some of my friends from the village. I don't have to worry" replied Tania.
"I go home first, take good care of yourself. If there's anything, call Mas Rifki" said Rifki.
"Yes, go home!" tell Tania.
After delivering Tania, Rifki immediately returned home. Upon Rifki's return, Tania is asked to change the clothes she wears with a special event uniform of the waiter. After changing into a costume, put his belongings in a special locker.
As he was about to leave the room that only contained lockers, he passed by his colleagues in minimarket, Rina and Sita.
"Hi, Tania! You here too?" reprimand Rina.
"Eh, Rina, Sita. You guys are here too" Tania smiled back. "I go first, yes" she said.
Tania left the room.
"You didn't forget, did you?" rina asked Sita as she put her bag in the locker.
"Beres, I brought this," replied Sita.
"Keep in your pocket, let's not bother going back and forth here," asked Rina.
"Okay, let's go out, Yuk" asked Sita.
Flashback off
🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸
Return to the Ardiansyah Family residence. Ardi was still waiting for his wife to get dressed.
"How much longer, Ma? Ck, women if groomed very long," he decreed.
Finally the Goddess finished dressing up, she stood stepping away from the dressing table. Approaching Ardi who is waiting for him to wear a tie as is his custom.
"From earlier ngedumel, Mama thought it was ready," grumbled Dewi.
"Here," said Ardi, showing a tie in his hand.
The goddess grabbed the tie from her husband's hand, then put it on.
"Do you have to wear a tie, Pa? The event is not formal-formal very," asked Dewi while tidying up the woven tie.
"Requires, Ma. In honor of formal guests. Let's go!" answer Ardi.
They came out of the room, walking hand in hand like a pair of newly married young men down the stairs.
Arriving at the ground floor, they met with Nurlita and Edos who were watching television.
"Bak Lita didn't come to the party?" ask Goddess.
"No, Wi. Ma'am at home just nemanin Edos," replied Nurlita.
"Mas Burhan didn't come?" ask Ardi chimed in.
"Come on, just left with Abizar" replied Nurlita.
"We're leaving first, ma'am. Titip's house," said the Goddess.
"It's fine at home, Edos. Don't run away again!" tymphal Ardi's.
"Ma, Pa, I'm coming with you guys donk," suddenly a second-floor cry sounded. Aghni almost missed.
"Come, aren't you bringing your own car?" nurlita asked her youngest child.
"No, Ma. Afraid to go home and sleepy, danger" replied Aghni
Ardi, Dewi and Aghni go to her hotel escorted by a driver. After they left, Nurlita had a conversation with Edos.
"Sir, tomorrow morning check up to the hospital huh, surely you've never checked up right, honey?" take Nurlita to Edos.
"Ma, don't call me Dek, Edos isn't a child anymore" Edos said.
"Mama still feels like you're a kid, want to check up?" pinta Nurlita again.
"Yes, Ma. Edos also wanted to quickly be able to walk normally."
"Why don't you take the jewelry you gave Tania? Even if you take it can be sold for your medical expenses and Tania," asked Nurlita.
"Edos of forgetfulness, Ma. The plan was to take Edos and get the car keys at that time" replied Edos.
"Mama can't imagine how hard Tania is to make money for your medical expenses. Where did you get the money? Honor Tania worked out for sure to eat," said Nurlita glazed.
"Edos doesn't know, Ma. Everything Tania took care of. Maybe he was wearing dowry money, Edos also did not see him wearing a wedding ring, when I asked him he answered his allergy and the ring was stored in a bag, I really do not believe," said Edos.
"There must be a pawn ring, not possible if it is sold. Papa has unblocked your account, son. You look for a lien ring and you redeemed it for him, the wedding ring will have a sacred value," said Dewi.
"Yes, Ma. Tomorrow morning I will look at Ms. Retno's house, and take Edos's belongings there" said Edos.

The Ballroom Hotel Merysta
The invited guests had been present filled the room, sparkling in dim lights following the music played by the famous band, the sound of the top singer was also heard complementing the music, romantic songs performed shahdu at the beginning of the party.
Tania and the rest of her friends seem to be busy going back and forth between the restaurant kitchen and the ballroom. Check the food and drink supplies on the table and bring and put the food and drinks to the table that has been empty.
Sometimes the waiters approached to offer food and drinks that were brought to the tables in the middle, there may be lazy invited guests to take food on the edge of the room, there may be invited guests who are just resigned waiting to be served by the servants.
At one of the tables of dozens of tables, uh hundreds of tables maybe the one on it, saw Sisi and Aris sitting there. The side sat down nervously.
"Mas, I'm going to this party because I want to see Tania. If we can't see Tania, why are we here? Nothing we know here, Mom. Go home yuk!," Sisi murmured.
"Patience, my dear. Enjoy the show first rather than redundant. Who knows if we will meet Tania, the show is also just starting right? Just sit down do not go anywhere, anyways rarely do we get free entertainment just as good food," persuaded Aris.
"But if we stay here until when do we find it, Mas?" whine Sisi.
"If you go anywhere, maybe not only Tania is on my search list, even you later," Aris said somewhat bluffing.
The silent side confirmed Aris' words, but he could not hold his lips to the manyun. Aris smiled amusedly at the behavior of her lover.
"Mas Aris is anxious to see your lips that manyun. So want to quickly halalin you, dear," seduced Aris.
The side only glanced at the man beside him
While not far from Sisi and Aris's desk, Niken seems happy to be close to her husband even though she thinks that Bram still considers her a pretend wife, their togetherness this time is just acting she thought. A happy aura emanated from the faces of the two. Bram held onto Niken's hand.
"Niken, I want to improve our relationship" Bram said.
"What do you mean Bram?" niken asked not yet understood what her husband meant.
"I want us to be like husband and wife in general, not pretend" Bram said.
Niken smiled hearing Bram's heart. "Really, Mas?" he asked with teary eyes as if he could not believe it.
"Yes, right. I'm serious," Bram said again.
For a moment Niken's face returned moody, he again remembered something. "What about the letter of agreement?" tanyakanya.
"The letter of the covenant, I no longer consider it to exist, will you be my real wife? We're going to live a life in a household together. Will you be the mother of my children?" ask Bram.
Hearing Bram's words and questions this time, clear circles seemed to flow from Niken's eyes. "I want to, Mas. Ever since we got married, I've thought you were my real husband, I never thought the covenant was there" Niken said sobbing.
Bram looks into Niken's bead, trying to find a lie there, but he does not find it. Bram also grabbed Niken's body and peeked short of his wife's forehead.
"Thank you, sweetheart. You've been patient with me all this time."
As music and singer games were halted to welcome the number one presence at ARD's Corp in the party room, Ardiansyah, Aghni and Dewi emerged from the middle door, walk gracefully and gracefully on the red carpet.
The atmosphere, which was momentarily silent, was now boisterous by the cheering applause of the guests, as well as the sound of the cheques and camera lights of the guests and journalists. A few bodyguards accompanied them from behind. They are directed to sit in the front seat of the center of the left side.
Two hosts began to guide the show. The event began with a basmallah reading followed by a speech from the representative of the board of directors.
Furthermore the core event is a word from the owner of ARD's Corp delivered by Ardiansyah and the cutting of tumpeng. Ardi advanced to the podium on stage. He began to read impromptu speeches without the text.
"Assalamu'alaikum warahmatullahi wabarokaatuh," was heard greeting from Ardi's lips as the opening speech. The greeting was heard from all over the audience.
Ardi continued, "Before I say a word, let me be honest, that I feel groggy on this little podium with this big stage, in front of you who number up to 1000 more invitations, I feel like a flea, in other words I die a flea in front of you,"
Gerrr
The sound of laughter and boisterous applause was immediately heard welcoming Ardi.
"I'm used to dealing with clients from anywhere, I'm confident. But this time the group of clients was in front of me, amazing."
Simultaneous applause was heard again.
"The expression of deep gratitude we praise the presence of Allah SWT, the, in one generation Ardiansyah Corporation or better known as ARD's Corp has grown from a minimarket and hospitality company into an integrated company operating in Indonesia and two other countries in Asia. Our business has also grown to provide the needs for all levels of society from the lower to upper middle class in the present."
"I thank all those who have contributed your hard work and dedication so that ARD's Corp becomes a company of this magnitude. From the shareholders, the board of directors, the board of management, all business relations and all employees and servants as the spearhead of this company that I can not name one by one.
