IVONA: 1World 2Names
Chapter.99 Attention Center

Tommy takes Ivona to meet the Smith family elders. "Good night, Mr. Edward. Happy Birthday to you."

"Thank you" replied Edward. The man who was celebrating his eightyth birthday was Grandfather of Smith. Their family had a business in metal mining, which kept them in the hands of wealthy Victorians.

Ivona, who was standing by Tommy's side, caught Mr. Edward's attention. "Who, he, is he your new boyfriend?"

Tommy laughed in response. "Talk, this girl's name is Ivona. He is my younger brother" Tommy replied honestly.

The elder of the Smith family was very surprised, was not the daughter of the Iswara family a classmate of Smith. That kid is good at playing the piano.

"If she's your sister, then who have we known as the daughter of the Iswara family?"

"The story is very long, sir, it will be time-consuming if I have to tell a story." Tommy ended his answer with a smile, as if what he said just now was just a joke.

"Alright, I think your guests are getting more and more. I ask permission to see my family first."

Mr. Edward just nodded, but still looked at Ivona. So did Smith who had been standing next to his grandfather. Her eyes could not escape Ivona for a moment.

"Beautiful" Smith said, as heard by his grandfather.

Tommy takes Ivona back to walk, greeting everyone he knows. To them, Tommy tells about Ivona's status as his sister. Ivona herself could only remain silent, meeting these people as if resurrecting her SCD again.

"Mom and Dad are there, are we there?" bring Tommy.

Ivona could only nod. The appearance of Ivona who was wearing a maroon color dress, really stole the attention of every eye that looked. No exception, someone who was sitting at the bar. He has been watching Ivona ever since the girl started entering the ballroom.

The man smiled at his smile, while downing the wine in his left hand. "Try to avoid" he murmured to himself. Then ask a bartender to refill the glass.

"Hi, Ma'am .. hi, Dad." Tommy hugged his parents in turn. Ivona was standing awkwardly near them.

"Child, naughty! why don't you go home?" Mrs Iswara immediately grabbed Tommy's ear. His second son immediately pretended to grimace in pain.

"Again, Mom. I won't repeat it."

Tommy hasn't come home since he came from abroad. From the airport, he goes straight to Ivona's school, then takes her sister to a Japanese restaurant that ends with Ivona's anger that makes her run to the bar and spend the night there.

Mr. And Mrs Iswara chatted with Tommy, until they forgot that Ivona, Thomas and Vaya were with them. Thomas and Vaya don't care what their parents do with Tommy. The two men stared at Ivona.

Thomas looks in awe at his sister, and is envious of Tommy who managed to bring Ivona to this party. Though previously he had tried and still rejected by Mrs Iswara.

As for Vaya, the girl stared hatefully at Ivona. It should be her tonight who is the center of attention, not this crazy girl. He has even paid the most expensive and famous artist makeup for this event, the dress he wears has been ordered in advance on the famous designer, but what. People were stunned by Ivona's stunning appearance.

"Hi, Iv," said Thomas, which made Mr and Mrs Iswara and Tommy stop chatting. "You're so pretty tonight" praised Thomas, who was met with a faint smile by Ivona.

Lord Iswara immediately set his sights on his biological daughter. Thomas didn't get me wrong, Ivona was amazingly beautiful tonight. Many colleagues even asked about Ivona when the girl had just arrived. Unfortunately, Mr. Iswara did not have enough courage to acknowledge Ivona as his biological daughter.

"Hi, Ma ... Hi, Dad," said Ivona, though she was lazy to do it.

"Hi, Iv," replied Mr. Iswara.

While Lady Iswara actually melengos and turned to look at Vaya. To be honest, he did not deny Thomas' praise for Ivona, but he also had to keep Vaya's feelings.

Tommy sees the awkwardness among his family, so he wants to melt it. "Have you all eaten?"

The whole family nodded.

While waiting for the waiter to serve their food, Grandpa Iswara came over. Ivona who captured Grandpa Iswara's presence first.

"Grandfather." Ivona stood up and approached Iswara's grandfather who was walking in a body guard.

"Sin." Iswara's grandfather hugged Ivona. "How are you, are you okay?"

"Sure, Cake." Ivona immediately leads Grandpa Iswara to her family table. All members of the family stood up to welcome the arrival of the oldest family members.

"Good night, gentlemen and ladies. Tonight we're on Mr. Edward Smith's birthday. Let's all congratulate him." A Mc opened the party.

"For tonight's event, there will be an offering from the beautiful daughter of the Iswara family. He will display his extraordinary ability in playing the piano. Let's welcome Vaya Iswara."

Everyone at the party applauded Vaya.

"Grandfather, Vaya's permission to go on stage."

Grandpa Iswara just nodded. He saw the enthusiastic guests who could not wait to see Vaya's appearance. Indeed, Vaya's talent is well known to many people, and it is undeniable that Vaya's ability adds to their family's prestige.

Ivona stared at the amazed look of everyone who heard Vaya's music. Tommy, who realized that, immediately clapped Ivona's hand. "You don't have to be humble, Vaya is great at playing music, but I'm sure you've got talent to work with, too" Tommy said.

Ivona didn't respond to Tommy's nonsense at all. Let everyone think he is stupid, because it is not detrimental to him.

A standing ovation was heard from the invited guests as Vaya finished her piano game. "Thank you." Vaya slightly bowed her body before stepping off the stage.

The MCs spoke again, "After we hear the game of heaven from Vaya Iswara. We still have someone else who's gonna charm you."

"Thank you, who's our guest tonight?" shouting MC.

Many guests have wondered who someone would charm them.

"Alright, I guess you all can't wait to know. Let's welcome our multi-talented artist Caroline Wilson" the MC said.

All eyes were shocked to see the artist's presence on stage.

"Good night everyone, does anyone miss my presence?" caroline said jokingly. "Surely you miss me, don't you?"

Everyone laughed with a joke thrown by Caroline.

"Well, tonight I don't want to talk much. I'm going to present a new song that I'm going to release tonight. All of you present at this party should be proud to be the first to hear Caroline Wilson." The woman laughed to provoke the laughter of the invited guests.

"But earlier, I wanted someone to accompany me to sing. Who would be worthy to accompany a Caroline singing?"

All the guests immediately mentioned Vaya's name. "Vea ... Vaye ... Vaya."

Vaya who had returned to sitting immediately felt her confidence level increase when everyone mentioned her name. She will be chosen by Caroline, her idol singer. Who better to accompany a Caroline Wilson, nothing!

"May I choose him myself?" caroline said from the stage. The artist then stepped off the stage and looked for a suitable person to accompany him to sing. He passed by everyone he saw, until his steps came to the table of Iswara's family. Everyone can guess, it must be Vaya who was chosen.

"You, I want you to be my escort" Caroline pointed to Ivona.

The woman invites Ivona to stand up and be seen by many eyes. All stared in disbelief and asked about who this girl chosen by Caroline was. Not just the invited guests, the Iswara family alone could not believe this.

Why Ivona, why not Vaya, who was chosen by Caroline Wilson?
