"Huh, e yes.." Davee flinched and wavered.
"Mas, why the hell? something wrong, huh?"
"No, you're so pretty."
Degs..
Degs..
Riana's heart is pounding.
"What Mas?" Sure again.
"Let's go.." Davee did not answer Riana's question, but instead took her straight away. Riana screeched in annoyance, she wanted to hear it once more.
A beautiful night, a gray night befriended flickering stars that sparkle. Riana opened her window glass, and looked at the sky with a cheerful smile. Davee looked at Riana, seeing Riana smiling sweetly as soon as Davee also smiled.
"You're more beautiful than thousands of stars twinkle, Riana." Davee occasionally turned her eyes on the street, but more than the majority of those gazes stopped at Riana. "Riana, why can't we count stars?"
"Who said Mas, an astronaut named Dorrit Hoffleit from the United States can count stars. There are 9,096 stars, but only 4,548 can be seen by the naked eye." Riana replied while looking at the star. Davee's smile faded..
"His intention is to be combalin, even to science..." Davee sighed.
"Mas, the star has many friends."
"Then?"
"However, never mock the moon by itself."
"Continue?"
"The star is never arrogant and faithfully accompanies the moon."
"Then? You talk half a." Davee's getting pissed.
"Em, forget the continuation of the word he said..." Riana scratched the scratch of her non-itchy eyebrows. Davee chuckles.
***
The night was so well designed. A long red carpet stretches, as well as the guests' greeters standing on each side of the carpet. Davee's black car was greeted with cheers of applause after arriving in front of the majestic culinary company.
Riana was still in the car, she saw Davee talking to Nadila.
"I'd be ashamed if I went out without Mas Davee's man, Mas Dave might have other plans. Positive thinking is Riana."
No matter how long Davee walks alone through the red carpet, a tap of the tanga as well as the camera's blitz light radiates from every angle. Riana frowned.
"What am I made of? Why would he ask me if I was just a spectator behind the windshield."
Amidst her confusion and frustration, Nadila shocked Riana with a knock on the windshield. After recognizing Nadila's face in a few seconds, Riana opened the car glass.
"You're Mas Davee's secretary, right?"
"Yes Miss, Mr. Davee ordered me to bring Miss in through another entrance."
Riana widened her eyes.
"Is Davee ashamed that I'm here? But why would he take me then?"
"Let's come with me, Miss.."
"Ah, okay.." Riana opened the car door and followed Nadila away.
"Guard Pan, Mr.'s car park now." Nadila rules over Pan's guards who come because of her orders as well.
"Miss, this is Master's sister isn't it?"
"E, as Mas Davee ordered this afternoon, the secretary will know tonight. So wait a minute." Riana said remember the words Davee, Davee must have a plan or Davee did not want to say his married status, so Riana thought. Nadila smiled faintly hearing it.
"Currently, does the identity of the younger brother have to be made this special." Inner Nadila.
Nadila and Riana had reached the middle of the guest table which was very crowded with people who were completely unknown to Riana. Riana saw someone standing on the stage, she saw Mr. Santoso standing up giving a welcome to everyone who heard him. Davee sat on the front sofa behind her, but of course Riana could still recognize from Davee's hair.
"Miss sit here," said Nadila then without waiting for the fortune of Riana, he had passed away. Riana was still listening and looking at her in-laws welcome. Riana's gaze was split when she saw Davee who stood up from her seat and was followed by Nadila, Riana's eyes followed wherever Davee walked.
When Davee passed by a group of people, there was a man who accidentally hit him, so the orange drink he brought spilled on Davee's suit. Riana still silently watched Davee, looking like the grown man apologized many times. While Nadila very dexterously took tissue and cleaned the Davee suit. In the midst of his busy cleaning Davee's suit, Nadila's back was nudged by people who passed by, so Nadila became as if clinging to Davee's body. Davee hugged Nadila's shoulder, brought her closer to her body so as not to get hit by people who would pass by again.
Riana's eyes widened to witness it, as if the embrace was running so slowly that it was clearly painted in Riana's eyes. Riana could not stand her tears anymore, the clear water immediately poured out, Riana took her bag and then with half a run she left.
the guard who recognized Riana, remained silent without reacting. They think their Master already knows. The guard was stupid.
Riana continued her steps, her tears had not stopped.
"Did he bring me here just because he wanted to see his affection for that woman. It was fitting that he did not want me to be recognized by people, it was fitting that the secretary even took me to another door. Turns out this was all their plan to work on me." Riana monologued while continuing to sob.
