CHAPTER 20: Invitation for jewelry auction part 2.

One of the boutiques in the corner of Central Jakarta is close to shopping centers and towering office buildings, there are even buildings that look like kissing the sky above. The face of the sky that refracts the perfect blue color is clearly visible to the boutique owner. The golden-brown long-haired lady with the curly end entered her boutique building.

Slowly she breezed into the boutique with her feminine appearance, all employees were busy with their respective jobs. Only one woman welcomed Almira at the door of her room.

"Excuse me, brother Ra, this is a jewelry auction invitation from a jewelry company in collaboration with a company from Germany,"he said he handed out an invitation paper with thick paper and deep blue with gold writing.

"Invitation? When?"sahut Almira frowned while taking over the invitation from the hands of his confidants.

"It's expected two more days, right at eight o'clock."

"Hm .... Okay. Clothes for me."

"Ready ma'am, I'll prepare immediately."

Almira nodded to answer the words of her employee, then she continued into her room, swinging near the table and sitting on her swivel chair. He circled around on the chair as he played his cell phone to find out about the auction.

"Oh B&D jewelry company," he cried while leaning on the chair he was sitting in. "Why caves can be invited yes, caves have never had a cooperative relationship with their partners, how can ya?"it still amazes me why the invitation came to him.

Not long after Almira leaned back in her chair, the clattering of footsteps of a person was clearly heard approaching her. The ever-present step was already recognized by Almira, so she ignored it and waited for the owner of the steps to get into it and sit on the sofa just as she always did.

"Ra ..."call Manda as soon as she walks into the room without knocking on the door first.

"Hmm ..." muttered Almira who did not take her eyes off her phone screen.

Manda tilted her body watching her best friend who was so focused with the rectangular screen in front of her. Quickly he waved towards Almira and knocked on the table a few times.

"For your sake, seriously very neng," asked Manda leaning his body on the table.

"Find the info about the company from this invitation," Almira replied with the net still focused on her phone screen, as she swiped the invitation letter nearby in front of Manda.

Without waiting any longer, Manda picked up the invitation and lifted it up for her to read. One by one the words that lined up on the invitation paper he read carefully. A jewelry auction from a famous jewelry designer in Germany.

Looks interesting. Manda thought so, his mind had imagined many things about the glitter of the jewels that enveloped the arterial building, one of the mainstay buildings of business leaders of all kinds. This building is located in the western part of central Jakarta. A subscription location for wealthy business owners and large corporations in the country.

"So don't you take his bag?"manda asked then after she placed the invitation letter on the table.

"So dong, but then yeah, kind of a pity. Part **store**nya not open at this hour yet," he replied without looking at the watch wrapped around his arm.

"Cola .... Almira Miara Tisya, look at the watch in your hand now, what time is it?"manda placed both his hands on the table.

Hearing the cry of his best friend, Almira rushed to fix his sitting position to be more upright and saw the watch that circled his left arm, the clock has shown at 10:15 wib. That means that the store that Almira and Manda had headed for was already open from an hour ago. Almira got up from the chair with her eyes wide.

"Well ten o'clock, I just sat down, not yet. What my watch is wrong, yes," he said as he lowered his hand dangling with just anyone.

"Yes yes dodol. You come to the shop already noon, the clock is not wrong, it's just a long time. Why the hell at home, your husband?"

"Lunatic you! Where there I take care of the husband, we just marry on paper, in the house is different again, "arguably Almira as she stepped forward to approach the door of the room.

"When do you want to survive this marriage?"apparently Manda began to be curious about this wedding trip.

If you look deeper, this marriage does not have a definite future. This is what raises the question Manda, a curiosity about the story of his best friend's marriage. But Almira had not thought about it to the extent that Manda's mind, she was just enjoying it. After all, she didn't have to bother being a full-fledged wife, this was a good thing for her. The status of her marriage is nothing to worry about, because it does not change anything in the life of a beautiful woman.

"Not thought about it at all, how about it later. This section has only been running six months, the cave will wait until the next two years, if there is no progress yaudah I unplug."pendiknya calm, without thinking long impact from that long time.

"If you've fallen in love with her, how? Can you let it go?"said Manda.

The petite woman stopped in front of the mall entrance that she was heading to with Manda, hearing the words of her best friend made her stifled and think harder. How she forgets such a thing, let alone later, at this time she has started to give her heart to her husband. But there was nothing he could do but wait for the clockwork to keep spinning while exploring the real Royyan.

Arriving in front of the store in question Almira, the two waltzed into it, and were immediately greeted by the female there politely and kindly. The tall woman in formal black clothes greeted Almira and Manda with great joy.

"Miss wants to take the order bag?"tanyanya gently.

"Yes, but I want to look around the others first yes," replied Almira while circulating views on the objects displayed in the store.

"Well lady, do I want to be with you?"

Almira nodded in response to the workwoman. The long-haired woman curls at the end of it began to surf with Manda browse the store, a magnificent store that sells luxury items such as bags, shoes, clothes and also a variety of accessories.

Both of them walked to the shoe rack area, there was a heels that was able to attract the heart of Almira, immediately he took a shoe heels with a height of five centimeters and white with a touch of pink.

"It doesn't fit in the auction, Man?"almira asked while paying attention to the heels he was holding.

The shoulder-haired woman slightly tilted her face to look at the beautiful footwear, then she nodded after she saw the feet of her friend who was pure white, as white as milk.

"Pretty. Which dress will she wear?"

"Not sure yet, but I want to wear these heels like."

"OKAY. You know which one is good in combination with the dress later, you're a dodol designer, you know which one fits and which one doesn't." she said as she folded her hands in front.

The flat-eyed woman cleared her eyes until her cat's eyes closed because of her smile. After that she immediately put the shoes on her beautiful feet, after she took off the previous shoes she was wearing.

Those pink white heels are absolutely perfect on Almira's beautiful feet. Her body was indeed tiny, but her weight was not up to fifty. His height is only 160 centimeters.

"It's really pretty, what my legs are too good huh," he said praising himself.

"Beuh ... ask for a tampol."

Almira's laughter broke. The surrounding wind suddenly pecked and did not feel like blowing anymore. Then the woman who was wearing the color nude pink as a blur of her lips was quick to release the heels again.

"Well lady, please wait a moment," he replied as he took the heels out of Almira's hand and took them away from the face of the tiny beautiful woman.

While waiting for the transaction to complete, Almira and Manda surrounded the store once again. From a distance at the entrance there is a distinctive aroma that has been recognized by Almira, immediately he twisted his body to look for the figure of the owner of the scent.

And it's true. At the entrance was a tall, handsome man with his confidants, about to enter the store. Instantly, Almira's heart was scattered at an abnormal speed, even his eyeballs were wide. She never expected to meet her husband here other than at home.

Why is Royyan here anyway, make people's hearts are not safe anymore, not satisfied what this morning makes hangers. Mall in Jakarta is a lot, why should I go to this store anyway. There's Manda again, I have to behave as usual, as if I don't know her.

But who would have thought, if Manda realized Royyan's arrival first. Manda's round eyes were never separated from the figure of Royyan whom he was very familiar with, a figure he had met a few years ago.

"Eh the kebab boy Ra," he urged Almira to walk up to Royyan who was with Adrian.

Almira swiftly restrained Manda's hand to stay with him there, snapping her step. Then the woman who styled her hair with a clasp pulled her best friend's hand hiding on a shelf of luxurious bags lined up.

"Why the hell are you? Why hide?"ask Manda in a low voice.

"Udah diem. Don't let us meet him, "he made Manda think harder.

"Why? Though he used to love chocolate as you, you already pulled it to Paris, but because you are not there so in love with me, "just like that, considering the events in the past.

Almira was stunned for a moment after she heard Manda's confession, which had not been revealed all along. The flat-eyed woman who was slightly lowering her knees turned her head firmly and looked at Manda with her serious glare.

"You don't know what to say? When's that?"almira said with a voice intonation that can be heard by Royyan and Adrian who are in the cashier section has completed a transaction.

Within seconds Royyan turned to the voice, as did Almira, who had only realized that her hiding was useless, she clenched her lips and she immediately covered her with her tiny hands, he looked at Royyan. The two eyes finally exchanged.

The flat eyeball was again widened, with the accompaniment of the heartbeat that scattered with arbitrary. Soon he took his neutrals in the other direction and again made his body slightly sink behind the shelf with Manda who also followed his silly behavior.

Anjir even mgeliatin here everything. Just be careful if you reach the cave house chew you yes Royyan!

"Our ways, is he going to come here?"Almira curses her best friend with a soft tone of voice.

"Well, you said, she likes you, is it still the same?"cetusnya without knowing anything about the two while he turned to peek at the activities of Royyan and Adrian.

"Huh?! No, why can you say that?"Almira tried to dodge with an eyeball that could never stop to turn her head, making sure her husband left from there.

"Where is a guy who gives something for free, nothing! Let's think again."

Any timing? No way, we're marrying Manda! But he chose to hide it, what is love? Don't you?

In another corner, Royyan who has just completed his transaction to buy a white scarf with a blend of brown and black with a motif from a famous brand logo, said, her focus was quickly sidetracked with a bag and white shoes belonging to Almira which was wrapped by the workwoman on duty.

"It belongs to the beautiful woman behind it?"royyan asked the woman.

"Yes, sir, this belongs to Miss Almira Miara Tisya" he replied politely and snapped his work for a moment.

"How nominal?"asked Royyan again while taking back his black Atm card.

"The latest output from the best brand of our store with a price of 45,756,000 rupiah, and the latest heels from the famous brand originating from France with a price of 15,876,000, a total of 61,632,000 rupiah,"some of the woman was without hesitation, as she pointed at the bag and heels with polite hands.

"Payment."celtuknya while thrusting Atm card that is often said by the name of black card.

"Okay sir" he smiled as he lowered his head and took Royyan's Atm card.

The Karyawati immediately completed the transaction and returned Royyan's card. No need to wait for long the mullet-haired man immediately took his card and swung to get out of the store, while the scarf parcel was held by Adrian who always followed him behind.

"Thank you, sir," he said later, clenching his hands in front of him, not forgetting the head that was bowed politely.

Royyan continued to move out of the store, without answering the words of the woman again. Then he put one of his hands into the pocket in the suit to pick up a black phone with a casing that was also black, a new mobile phone from a brand that is a subscription for business people and rich people. After that he typed something on his phone and immediately sent it directly to his wife's number.

"Don't meet me outside, if you have anything to say at home."

"Who wants to meet you anyway, no yes ...."

"A little while."

"mean?"

Such was the short message conversation between Royyan and Almira who were now far apart. It was clear that Almira was painting her face in great confusion, then she was holed up to the cashier area and Royyan was no longer there. Only then did the golden brown haired woman feel relieved, feeling her breath more freely to breathe oxygen around.

"Let's ah back, really disturbing the guy, when I so ngaretnya long right."germunya in front of Manda.

"Yes your own fault, but the kebab guy also does not mind you there or not right?"concluded Manda.

The problem is that he's my husband Manda.

"Come on." Come on."

Almira and Manda swung close to the cashier, not yet exhausted he felt the spiked white ceramics, the woman in charge had already approached Almira and Manda brought two parcels containing bags and shoes belonging to Almira.

"Excuse me, miss, this belongs to the lady and the transaction has been completed by Mr. Royyan earlier," the woman revealed while mixing the parcel.

Royyan again managed to hit the heart of Almira for the second time in the same day. Netra Almira bought great with the same firmness of her forehead, as well as Manda who felt speechless with Royyan's treatment of her best friend.
