I Don'T Want To Be Cinderella #1
57. Deja vu

Deja vu

May I be arrogant if at this time the King is like being proud of me to his business partners. He introduced me to almost all of his colleagues, and Caraka who accompanied me always smiled proudly whenever they praised my success for breaking through the eastern retail electronics.

Although I think it's too early to be proud because only once did we hit the target. And I'm sure it won't even have much effect on Haryanto's turnover, given their dozens of outlets spread across East and Central Java.

But Om Haryanto's words had a little bit of an impact on people's view of me. Not a few of Papah's colleagues (Ehm!!) those who are talking about their business are asking for my input. And after getting the nod from Papah (Ehm!!) I answered all I could, which made Papah (Ehm!!) and Caraka smiled proudly.

I was also actually grateful and able to breathe a sigh of relief when Big Boss asked me to come with him which I immediately participated in because I was finally able to escape from the high-class women who rated me more physically, he said, but because of the ammunition from the Queen Mother who ‘perfect’ they have no gap to demean me physically. Finally they tried to demean me with my educational background as well as my work (luckily they did not know my family background), but finally silenced after Om Haryanto praised my performance earlier.

Besides all that, I want to escape from the gaze of Anggi Santoso who continues to look at me with a sharp gaze, he said if this Anggi eye cartoon film had issued a laser that would make me gosong. But profit is unachievable, unfortunate cannot be denied. I was back in the face of an ex-fiancee who had not been able to move on, when Caraka left me to grab a drink.

“Have long been in contact with Caraka?”

Okay fine! to the points.

“Lumayan.”

“From before he split with me or after? Or you who became the third person between me and Caraka .. pe-la-kor.”

This was the first time I looked at Anggi this close, back when he had a birthday I only saw him from a distance, and earlier when I was acquainted I only glanced at him briefly. Beautiful, it's just that her mouth needs to be slightly silenced.

“Hmmm .. sorry to know exactly when did you and Caraka start connecting?” Anggi furrowed his brows at me. “To my knowledge, you guys are not officially in touch. And you only met twice .... during introductions, and also birthdays, right?” Anggi's jaw is now hardened on me. “There has never been a word made up or broken up between you. More precisely there is only an introduction between you.”

I looked at Anggi, whose eyes were staring at me.

“So, there has never been a third person word let alone actor ... because there has never been a relationship between you and Caraka .. ti-dak per-nah a-da.” I smiled looking at Anggi who now has his jaw hardened, his nose is flat, his eyes bulging.

“Honey!” I called Caraka who was walking closer with two drinks in her right hand.

I saw Anggi's breath hunting, his eyes darting at me before he finally left.

“Ex-fiance candidates who can't move on.” I took a drink from Caraka's laughing hand.

“He didn't say silly things to you right?”

“Quietly my immunity has been improved from the mode of anti ex-boyfriend who can not move on to become an anti-fiancee candidate who can not move on.”

“Hahaha.”

I drank my drink while staring at Anggi's departure.

Have I ever met him before?

Looking at it up close reminds me of someone, but who?

And ... I seem to have known him for a long time, but when and where did I meet him?

Paradeicos

Sunday night makes the exclusive place is crowded with visitors who want to have fun. The entire private room is filled, the dance floor is crowded by visitors who dissolve in the beat of famous DJ music. In one corner of the room some people were sitting enjoying alcoholic drinks as an escape from the annoyance, anger and disappointment.

“Already, Gi, forget about them.”

“Forget ... not that easy.” Anggi again poured the golden liquid into his drinking glass.

“Yes, but your chance to get back to Caraka, seems to be completely absent. Didn't you see how he treated that woman?”

How could Anggi not see it. He's not blind. He could see how Caraka smiled at the woman, how Caraka looked at the woman filled with love, how Caraka called the woman affectionately without feeling awkward at all as if it had become his habit.

How could he be so envious of that woman. Mediocre perempun who is not from his golong let alone Mahesa.

After confirming that Mahesa's family would come to Haryanto's party, Anggi decided to come with the excuse of representing his father who could not attend. She prepared everything perfectly, the best clothes, the best makeup, the best accessories. Hoping that with her perfect appearance she would make Caraka and her family regret their decision to decide on an arranged marriage with her, as well as to show that she was in a different class with the woman.

But it's all for nothing. Caraka didn't even look at him twice, he just greeted as part of courtesy, she said, after that his eyes were only on women who were recognized or did not look prettier than the photo he saw some time ago, plus his ability and intelligence made the woman look shining. And he hates it!

And Anggi hated himself more for admitting that the woman was indeed extraordinary.

Anggi again poured the drink into his glass, whether the glass that I how even now he was half drunk, he was, but none of his friends dared to ban him because they knew how the current state of Andi Santoso's daughter was.

“What did Caraka see from the woman? i jauuuuh lebh beautiful .. sexier .. richer.” Anggi gulped back his drink.

“I want to tear his mouth so that the woman can no longer smile mocking me.” Anggi started babbling indistinctly.

“Do you want to teach that woman a lesson?”

Anggi looked at the man who had been sitting down to join them. Anggi then nodded while saying,

“I will teach him a lesson, so that he knows who Anggi Santoso is and no longer feel arrogant because he managed to take Caraka from me.”

The man looked at Anggi who was now pouring the drink back into his glass.

“I can help you.” Anggi looked at the man. Put back the bottle of drink that was almost finished. “I have the same business as you, and we are not alone .. There is someone who will gladly join us giving them a lesson.”

Anggi is now sitting leaning back to look at the man who is also his friend seriously, as well as the people who sit with them.

“You know that woman?”

“Not know, just .. know. And I still have an unrequited debt.”

Anggi fell silent, his eyes could not be separated from the man who was now also looking at him seriously.

“You said there is one more person who will join us?”

“Yes, I'm sure he will come soon after knowing that the woman is here.”

“Who is he?”

The man was speechless looking at Anggi before replying, “Ferdi Izam.”

“Ferdi?”

Of course Anggi knows who Ferdi Izam is,

and he knows quite well what Ferdi Izam is, but Ferdi is also a loyal friend so Anggi is very confident that Ferdi will help him. Especially so far as it has been an open secret in their friendship cycle if Ferdi likes it.

But does Ferdi have to go along with his plan this time?

Didn't he just want to teach that woman a little lesson?

Anggi again remembered how the woman smiled mocking him because actually Anggi never had any relationship with Caraka.

Nnnnope. Anggi will not let go of the woman just like that for the humiliation earlier.

He will make sure the woman is destroyed, make Caraka disgusted by seeing her or even just hearing her name he will not be able to anymore, and make the Mahesa family realize that the women are not suitable to be part of Mahesa.

Yes, by destroying the woman, Mahesa's family will again ask her to continue the match with Caraka.

Anggi smiled imagining his plan .. because in the end he was the one who would laugh happily and become Mrs Caraka Mahesa.

“I myself yagn will contact Ferdi, and ask him to come to Surabaya,” said Anggi with a sly smile.
