"Are you okay?" said Chandra who realized that Alsha now looks not eager to accompany him, while their position is now in front of the building where the event is held.
"Ehmm. I'm fine sir, sorry I'm a little dreamy" said Alsha.
"You have a problem?"
"No sir."
"You're not lying, are you, Alsha?"
"N-no sir! oh yeah, Chandra sir brought a gift?"
"Yes, I stopped by for a while at the knick-knacks shop."
"I didn't bring it, I didn't think it."
Chandra smiled as she held out a gift she had brought to Alsha's hand, "The lady will be your beloved."
"Eh, but sir_"
Still with his fluffy smile Chandra rubbed Alsha's head, "It's okay, let's go inside."
Alsha nodded her head, then followed Chandra's footsteps who entered the building first.
There is a sudden regret when you know the invited guests that the whole thing comes from the upper class is seen from the way they dress that looks fashionable and glamorous.
Had he known it in the first place, he might have rejected Chandra's offer, and opted to rest in the house.
But as the saying goes, rice has become porridge, he cannot avoid it now, and is forced to endure until Chandra himself asks him to go home.
Alsha further lowered her face as some guests who were mostly women her age continued to look at her while whispering.
What's wrong? he thought he was wearing the best clothes and shoes he had.
Alsha sighed softly, she forgot who and where she came from, as good as any clothes she was wearing at this time did not cover her stamp as a poor girl, at all, moreover, the clothes he wears are not branded clothes that are usually purchased in large malls or famous boutiques.
"Alsha, come on!" call Chandra, clasping his hand toward a middle-aged man who waved beside the one biggest table among the others.
"That's Mr. Dimar, Rima's father who is currently on his birthday" whispered Chandra.
Alsha nodded as Chandra pulled her closer to Dimar.
"Chandra, it's finally coming." Dimar greeted him with a helping hand.
"I promised I'd come, so yes I came." Chandra replied.
Dimar chuckled, glancing beside Chandra where Alsha was standing awkwardly.
"This is your boyfriend Chan?" he asked, because Chandra does not usually come to an event by bringing a couple like today.
Dimar knew Chandra, however, because the man's parents had been his best friends for a long time.
"She_"
"I am Alsha sir, his secretary Mr. Chandra." sidelines Alsha with an awkward smile.
"Oh secretary, I thought your boyfriend was?"
"Not sir."
"It is because you have come, now enjoy the banquet, say back first, Chandra Alsha eat whatever you like."
"Okay o'm."
"Yes sir, thank you!"
"We're sitting there Sha." take Chandra.
Just as the two were about to sit down a girl in a red sleeveless dress came over to Chandra and swayed in his hand.
"Why wait for me."
"CK, I must have forgotten! I'd like to blow out a candle, usually every birthday you keep."
"That was when you were little Ri."
"What difference is the same now?''
"It's a fucking thing."
"Oh, who is that?" tanyanya while looking at Alsha did not like.
"I'm secretary to Chandra, brother!"
"Oh, who do I think? it's weird that Chandra's suddenly brought a girl."
"Once it seems, oh yes it's a gift for my sister." held out the gift Chandra gave to Rima, "Include my name Alsha sis."
"Thank you" he said ketus, while putting the gift of Alsha on the table, without intending to welcome the girl's hand.
Alsha only grimaced confused, I don't know what she has to say next especially if the mature woman in front of her looks not so like it.
The candle blow event began, and Chandra was forced to accompany Rima to blow the candle, while Alsha stood behind him, until in the end he felt bored and chose to avoid the crowd by going to a toilet.
Long enough Alsha was in the toilet, nothing she did indeed! he only washed his hands a few times, not because his hands were dirty, but because he deliberately did it to ward off boredom.
And after a few minutes in there Alsha came out the girl almost squealed as a big palm smothered her mouth and pushed her body back into the toilet, then locked the door from the inside.
"What are you doing? you've gone crazy?" jolt Alsha whose mouth was again smothered by the man's big hand, the man who was none other than Davin.
"If you dare to shout again, I'll make sure that between us there will be a second qabul ijab."
"What do you mean?"
"You're deliberately yelling because you want to make the guests in there hear your screams, right?"
"What are you talking about?"
Davin snorted, pushing Alsha's body until it hit the wall. "Why? is it because you're feeling better now that you're close to Chandrawinata."
"I don't have to answer that at all, do I?"
Davin laughed cynically, a laugh that sounded so terrible in Alsha's ear. "The way you don't give up easily, after failing to get all my property you're now hiring a man whose wealth is almost the same as mine, Alsha-Alsha you're really great" Davin said, without realizing it, there was a pair of clenched hands down there.
"Have you finished talking? if so, may you step aside from me and please open the door."
"Originally you know if it wasn't for Mama, I wouldn't even meet."
"Then why did you meet me, isn't there no business between the two of us?"
"Mama asked you to be deaf?" said Davin who unknowingly raised his voice, making Alsha melengos staring at any direction, moments like this that makes Alsha feel not want to get close to her ex-husband.
"Come back, if you're willing I'll give you whatever you've been wanting."
Alsha sighed softly, talking to Davin did have to be filled with extra patience, he thought.
"Do you know what I want?"
"Yes, obviously I know what you want! you want money, don't you?"
Alsha smiled bitterly, with trembling lips she again spoke, "Do you think everything should be about money, mister Davin heard! even though I don't have as much money as you have, I'm not crazy about money, you have absolutely no idea what I want."
"And whenever I thought you wouldn't know! please open the door Chandra sir has been waiting for me too long." continued Alsha who then pushed Davin's body sculpting and rushed to open the lock and out of the room.
