Time passed too quickly now I went to a dinner party invited by Mr. Briantoro, and we went to one of the restaurants that was very luxurious, I don't even think I deserve to set foot in such a luxurious place, I also feel very uncomfortable wearing clothes that have been given by Kevin before in addition to high heels that I do not usually wear including makeup on my face that feels this does not look like the real me, fortunately, was that Kevin was willing to help me and he extended his hand to offer to help me walk into the restaurant.
"Klara come on, I help you walk just hold my hand," Kevin told me at the time.
I smiled at her and immediately received help from her because I was very troubled with the long dress and it was very difficult for me to walk at this time, I still felt very nervous and unsettled to get inside at the time but luckily Kevin quickly convinced me and he challenged me so I could walk confidently right into it in that restaurant.
"Let's raise your head, don't look nervous like that, even though I know it's hard enough for you but you have to believe in yourself, there I will always hold your hand, I promise I won't let you go." Kevin said a little something that calmed me down at the time.
We walked in and saw that Mr. Arfanka had just come in and he called Kevin's name from behind, making me and Kevin reflex immediately look back and dealing with him was also Riska who was there at the time.
"Kevin..." Mr. Arfanka said quite loudly at that time.
I turned my head and saw clearly how close Mr. Arfanka was to the woman named Riska, if asked if I was jealous of course I was very jealous, he said, no woman would not be jealous if she saw the figure of her lover who she loved so much instead took another woman while I had let go of my arm to Kevin because I appreciated her presence when that's.
But Mr. Arfanka looked so calm looking at me and he was holding Riska's hand that was holding her hand so tightly back then.
"So you were invited here too? I think it's just a banquet for the upper class, not for a lowly former servant like him." Said Mr. Arfanka addressed to me.
I really feel very hurt and so ashamed to get such a word that so pierced my heart from Mr. Arfanka directly, even Kevin was very angry when he heard it, but I quickly held back the hand of him who was about to lose control at that time.
"You how dare you talk like that to Klara!" Said Kevin as he was about to step forward in front of Mr. Arfanka closer.
"Stop Kevin, what was said by ya is true, I am indeed a former lowly servant but at least I don't have a very low attitude like him, we should go, we should go, here we are to attend an invitation from your father not to seek enemies with people who do not deserve to be served," I told him back to reply him with sharper words.
All of that can come out of my mouth just like that because of the pain that was given first by Mr. Arfanka to me, believe in what I feel now, the pain caused by the person we love the most and most we expect her to be next to us always, it becomes the most untreatable pain
I tried to pull Kevin's hand and intended to take him to get out of there but unfortunately before I had time to get out of there, mr. Briantoro was present in our midst and was seen walking while clapping and showing a smile that made me very anxious at that time.
"Prok..prok.... What drama is there tonight? Why do you guys look so serious and it looks like Arfanka doesn't like my son's future wife very much?" Said Mr. Briantoro staring at Mr. Arfanka then began to turn to me with the tip of his eyes at that time.
We immediately bowed and honored Mr. Briantoro while welcoming him quickly at that time.
"Welcome, great sir," I said, followed by those who were there in unison.
Until Riska just answered the question given by Mr. Briantoro at that time.
"You heard it, didn't you, I'm sure you knew who this woman really was, I heard just now Arfanka said that she was a lowly ex-servant, do you think he deserves to be the son-in-law of Kevin Briantoro who is the biological son of om himself, the owner of the largest company in the country? Isn't what Arfanka said for Kevin's sake, you have to support him, right?" Said Risak who looked so close to Mr. Briantoro at that time.
My heart was already very unsettled, my heart continued to beat fast and felt very scared at that moment, moreover the gaze from Mr. Briantoro felt so sharp and very suspicious of me at that time, even more so, I couldn't dodge this time because Kevin clasped my hand tighter and he immediately chimed in on what Riska said back then.
"Hentika Riska! Not just because you were born into a wealthy family, you can bully my future wife like that, even if she was a servant, although he is neither a person of honor nor a person of power in this world, but he does not have a rotten heart like you!" Kevin's reply made Riska look very angry and upset.
He immediately complained to Mr. Arfanka and looked so spoiled with him that it made me even more unable to bear to look at him, even I haven't really officially parted from Mr. Arfanka but I already feel the feeling of being betrayed in front of my own eyes right now.
"Arfanka look at your sister even defended her, I don't accept it baby you have to do something to her, come on baby show me that you love me and you have to be on my side before I also defend you dear." Riska said very forcefully to Mr. Arfanka at that time.
Until old Arfanka looks to tighten her teeth, and, I could tell that he was very angry at the time but I had also strengthened myself and mentally prepared the strongest to get the worst and most painful words from him for me at that time, because I know that in front of Mr. Briantoro, Mr. Arfanka is not at all someone I know.
Even when Mr. Arfanka hasn't shown up, I've gotten the words that hurt you from him first, so I've prepared myself for this moment.
"Don't you dare turn the facts against Riska I can destroy you or the woman next to you if I want to!" Mr. Arfanka's words made Kevin cluck softly and underestimated him at the time.
How not very brave, Kevin said such a sharp speech in front of his own father, yes, mr. Briantoro who was still standing upright held a stick in his hand and a small smile continued to watch his two children attack each other with words to each other.
Mr. Briantoro finally wanted to speak up and he immediately invited us all to immediately sit at the dining table that was beside us all at that time.
"It has. Stop all this mess, I don't mind who Kevin's going to pair up with, because he's obviously not going to be the leader of the company as long as Arfanka's around, so let him have that wild life, I won't even give you a dime, let's sit you down at the dinner table, I'll make an important announcement to you all." Said Mr. Briantoro to all of us.
Mr. Arfanka's gaze continued to not be separated from me and it made me very uncomfortable until Kevin realized it and he immediately pushed the chair for me and allowed me to sit very softly and attentively.
"Please sit down Klara," said Kevin welcome at the time.
I only responded with a small smile and immediately sat there while Mr. Arfanka did not push a chair for Riska at all and they were already sitting first then.
"Arfanka I warn you, stop looking at my girlfriend or I'll think you like her." Kevin said it deliberately to make the father feel suspicious of his words.
Until Kevin's plan at that time was really successful and could make Mr. Briantoro really designed by his words as well as Riska which he actually did not target in the slightest.
"What do you mean Kevin? Arfanka I've already betrothed Riska she will never be able to marry any woman let alone a woman like your lover who has no clear origin!" Said Mr. Briantoro at that time.
"Yes.you don't dare to talk carelessly, Arfanka could continue to look at him because she feels dislike with the existence of the woman here," added Riska chimed in immediately.
My hands were already shaking so much and I couldn't hold my face anymore to continue standing straight at that moment, I was really hard to resist and could not bear to listen to any more insults from everyone there, especially from the people I loved the most, and from the man I thought I could protect me, take care of me and be by my side.
But now, in fact, he did not carry out any of the promises he had made to me before, it's too painful for me and I think it's possible that my presence in that place is just an insult to the rich, who don't have the same social class as me.
"I can't possibly like a woman like her, I hate her so much now, I'm so unhappy when it comes to eating with someone who was once a lowly servant like her!" Reply Mr. Arfanka at that time with a sharp look at me.
I struggled to swallow my own saliva and kept holding back the tears that I could barely contain at that time, I quickly stood up and immediately chose to leave the place because I thought my presence was no longer needed.
"Well sir, if you really feel hate for me, I think I hate you more now and then, but at least I am grateful because even though I am poor in wealth, I feel that I am, but I am not as heartbroken as you are, thank you for the banquet and invitation you gave me dear Mr. Briantoro, but I have to pami and you've had enough to insult me because I know now you're more despicable than a street beggar who at least still has a conscience!" I said with courage and immediately bowed in respect and left quickly.
Kevin was also angry and he bravely yelled at Mr. Arfanka when it was also included to his father.
"Well, you've got my loved one hurt until he can say that, you're so great at demeaning people without realizing that you're so low, you're so good at being so low, especially you Arfanka, you'll feel what it's like to be dumped by my father, and from now on I'll just have to strip me of your family card, you're not my father anymore!" Kevin said with courage at the time.
Mr. Arfanka is very emotional but he can't do anything just clench his hands very tightly and just keep holding the emotion in my heart and then come and go quickly from there, so did Riska who was chasing him at that time.
While Mr. Briantoro looks very calm and he only shows a small smile, his face continues to make anyone will feel very suspicious of him.
I don't know what he was planning at the time.
Kevin quickly ran after me and he immediately shouted while successfully holding my hand back then, but unfortunately I was already unable to hold back the tears on my face anymore, I really couldn't pretend to be strong then, until Kevin found out about my weakness and he saw that I was sobbing in the middle of the road.
"Claras....Klara.wait, Klara!" kevin shouted and held my hand strong enough that I could not escape or let go at that moment.
"Go from here Kevin, let me alone, I don't want to hiks.we hiks... see my weakest condition like this," I told him to leave at that time.
But unfortunately instead of leaving Kevin immediately pulled my hand until I was dragged by him and he hugged me tightly at that moment, I could not stop and continued to cry in his arms.
