Little Dandelion
Chapters 14. First Dance of Caca

Caca and Valen rushed towards the event room. Because of the difficulty of wearing heels, Caca intended to take off first. Caca then paused for a moment.

"You why Ca?" ask Valen.

"You take off your shoes first, it's hard to walk if you're tight," said Caca while taking off his shoes.

"Oh here I help. Where's your bag? here I hold," said Valen.

"Tring tring." Valen's phone rang.

"Ah of Nael." Valen lifted her.

"Hello. Yes, Nael. Wait yes this is close" Valen said as he ran.

Nael looks at Valen who is already at the entrance. Nael then approached Valen and lectured him.

"That's too long! your show will soon. Ayok quickly entered," said Nael while pulling Valen.

"Yes. Wait a minute, I'll wait for Caca to come first" Valen said as he waited for Caca to return his bag.

Suddenly, Nael's phone rang. There's an incoming call. Because the sound was too noisy, he slightly moved away a little from the party room, and started talking on the phone.

***

Soon Caca arrived and approached Valen.

"Da, Ca. Your bag," Valen said, giving it to Caca.

"Yes. Thank you." Thank you."

Then Valen came in from the main door. Because his name has been called by the Host (MC). The sound of confetti explodes along with the entrance of his steps of Valen. All the guests stood up and clapped.

"Prok prok prok!"

***

A little while later Nael finished answering his phone. Hearing her name on the call, she then headed to the party room.

His steps came to a halt, when he saw a woman who was busy wearing shoes. Nael looked at her carefully, for some reason she was attracted towards the woman. He then walked over to the woman.

"Who is he? seems to have seen. But who?" ask Nael in your heart

Caca had finished wearing shoes and wanted to get into the party room.

"OKAY. I'm done wearing his shoes. I'm bothered to wear all this, too" said Caca tidying up her dress.

Caca then stood up and headed for the main door to enter the event.

Nael then approached. They finally passed at the main entrance. Nael and Caca meet. They look at each other.

Nael looked at Caca closely. Then Nael walked closer to Caca. Shortly thereafter, the MC voice called Nael's name.

"And all the ladies and gentlemen. Let's introduce him, Nathanael Chandra Putra."

"Out of duar!"

The sound of confetti suddenly exploded. The contents of the confetti were mixed from the top of their heads and fell like rain and hit the bodies of both of them.

Caca was surprised by the voice of the exploding confetti, but not by Nael. He was still looking at Caca so differently.

Nael then smiled gently at Caca and said inwardly, "it's Carisa."

"Prok! prok! prok!"

The sound of guests clapping. Nael's daydreams then stopped. She immediately entered the room and gathered with her family on the stage of the event.

***

Caca was still standing outside. He cleaned out the remains of confetti that stuck to his body. There was quickly a figure of his hand that pulled him in. Yeah it is, Valen. Valen pulled Caca in. All eyes were on the two of them, especially Caca.

"Who's that woman with Valen? what is Caca? today she's getting more beautiful" said everyone who was there.

As they already know. Caca is already beautiful even without any makeup. Natural beauty that makes all women feel envious. But today Caca looks perfect, with light makeup on her face, shiny hair a little wavy, with a charming white dress.

All the invited guests looked at Caca with sparkling eyes. Caca walked gracefully, as soon as the atmosphere became silent. They watched Caca as a princess entering the palace.

Mba Dewi, Lista, Cindy and Mul tea were shocked by the presence of Caca who was so enchanting. Absolutely perfect. Beauty that is not made up by thick makeup or excessive sexy clothes. They all admired Caca.

***

Valen invites Caca to sit down with him. Valen left Caca briefly to take the stage as Mr. Heru was about to announce important news after the candlelit show was over. All eyes looked at Caca.

Mr. Heru's birthday event then began. Everyone sings birthday songs and claps.

"Yes please, Mr. Heru. To blow out the candles and cut her cake," said the MC.

Everyone applauded. Then the MC gave a Microphone to Mr. Heru.

"Good night, peace to all of us, on this happy day, do not forget I extend my gratitude to the Creator of the Universe, because I am still given health."

"Don't forget also I say thank you to the invited guests who are ready to attend this small event."

"Huh? small," said Caca slowly.

"And don't forget also I want to tell you about the engagement of my eldest daughter, Valencia and her fiance Peter, which will be held today, so many of my thanks."

"Prok! prok! prok!" the sound of applause filled the entire room.

Caca was a little surprised and relieved that Valen turned out to be her older sister Nael and not her boyfriend or fiancee.

***

After Mr. Heru gave his speech, the MC then took over to guide the next event and called both Valen and Peter to come forward.

Peter was present from a different door, then walked towards Valen while carrying a flower in his right hand and something in his left hand, Peter gives the flowers to Valen and Peter opens the box of the Ring containing the diamond ring.

Peter then pinned the Ring on Valen's ring finger.

"Yes. Give a big round of applause for Valen and Peter!" the MC shouted while congratulating.

All guests stand up. Then applauded, including Caca who was very enthusiastic.

Finally arrived when his invited guests were invited to eat the food that had been provided.

Caca hastened. He took out a plate and scooped up the rice one full centong, with the side dish barely loading any more on his plate.

Mba Dewi who saw Caca then approached her and was followed by her other friends.

"Okay, Caca. You make me ashamed. Your appearance is already rich princess but your behavior is rich porters. Look at the food on your plate until it is so full. I'm rich in mountains" said Mba goddess.

"It's okay, Mba. I'm really laper than that" said Caca.

Then Lista dredge the contents of the Caca plate so that the portion of Caca is reduced and not shy. They argue and Caca finally relents.

Their behavior was seen by Valen. Valen approached and invited Caca and his friends to sit down and eat together at an empty table.

They praised Valen and congratulated Valen. Caca was busy eating. Nael approaches Valen, and Valen asks Nael to sit down and accompany him.

"Nael. Here sit down" said Valen.

"okay."

Nael according. He sat right in front of Caca who was busy eating. Caca ignored his surroundings. Caca also did not realize that they were all looking at Caca who was busy eating. His round cheeks were filled with food, adding a cute and sweet impression on Caca's face.

Seeing the behavior of Caca who was greedy eating, Mba Dewi could only shake her head, Lista patted her eel and Cindy only took care of her face.

Valen just laughed amusedly at seeing them all. Valen nudged Nael's shoulder and saw Caca.

Valen then whispered to Nael, "Your employees are funny."

Nael just smiled. Then Valen asked for permission to leave, as he would soon dance with his fiancee.

"I live first. Nael, you get them, yes" Valen said.

"Yes!" answer them compactly.

Moments later, Caca had finished eating. He was silent when he saw Nael sitting right in front of him.

"Eh, Father. Any here? where's Valen going?" ask Caca plain.

"Then do not take care to eat just," said Lista nagging Caca.

"His name is also laper," Caca said over a drink.

Suddenly the lights of the room became dim. Caca then panicked. He accidentally holds Nael's hand on the table.

Caca looked around. "Why are the lights dim?do you want the lights off?"

Caca clasped Nael's hand tightly. Nael lets Caca hold her hand, because she knows Caca's fear will be dark and Caca also does it unintentionally.

Soon a bright light shone somewhere. All eyes were heading towards the light, it was a dance hall. Valen and Peter were already in the middle of the hall, ready to dance.

Romantic songs are then played.

All the guests came to see them dance. Cindy took everyone there.

"We go there yuk! look at them dancing" Cindy said.

"Yeah!" answer Mba Dewi and Lista compact.

They then go there, they do not know if Caca is left behind and is still at the guest table with Nael.

Nael looked at Caca who was just silent while looking towards the Light. Caca was afraid to step because his surroundings were very dark.

Then Nael stands up and takes Caca to the hall to see Valen and Peter dancing.

"Let's go over there," Nael asked.

Caca agreed.

Nael clasped Caca's hand to keep it from coming off and she didn't panic back. Then lead her to the dance hall.

***

Arriving at the dance hall, Caca's eyes were only on Valen and Peter who were dancing. Very harmonious.

Then the song was finished in play they had finished dancing. All the guests then applauded. Caca let go of his hand and clapped.

All guests are not allowed to sit and cannot go anywhere, because Valen held a dance contest for 10 couples and has prepared prizes for 1 winning couple and earned the nickname King and Queen of the dance, as well as tens of millions of rupiah in cash.

Then the guests are busy looking for a partner to be invited to dance.

Ahmad invited Teh Mul to dance. Teh Mul received an invitation from Ahmad, all cheering. Only 1 couple who had stood in the hall, then followed by Mba Dewi and Mas Karyo, then another couple also followed.

"Who else? there are only 8 couples, only 2 more."

Then Valen invited Mr. Heru to dance with him.

"OKAY. There are only 1 couple left, ayok are still waiting!" MC sounds like selling medicine.

Seeing no one advance to the dance hall. Valen then pulls Caca over for the dance, but Caca refuses as she has never danced before. Then Valen kept forcing Caca to come along. Caca would not obey.

***

Nobody wants to dance with Caca. All men feel inappropriate pairing with Caca, some are embarrassed, some are afraid of his father Caca, whereas in the heart of all men are eager to dance with Caca.

Seeing Caca not having a partner finally a man stood up and offered himself up. Caca knows the guy. That's Mr Tris!

"Can't this old man take Caca for a dance?" ask Mr. Tris to Caca.

Caca was moved, and he nodded in agreement.

"Sir Tris, but Caca can't dance" said Caca a little nervously.

"Follow the rhythm. I'll teach you later" Mr. Tris advised Caca.

"Well, Mr. Tris."

Finally the contest will start soon, all couples are ready. There will be two songs playing. The first is a happy song, and the second is a romantic song.

The first song was played, they danced with great joy. All eyes were on every couple, they encouraged Mr. Heru and Mr. Tris who was aged.

Caca laughed off seeing Mr. Tris who was trying to keep up with the rhythm, all the guests cheered and clapped.

***

Finally the first song is finished. All guests applauded. Mr. Heru and Mr. Tris asked for a short pause, they were overwhelmed because of the soybean to follow the dance rhythm earlier.

"OKAY. We'll take five minutes, then" said the MC.

Valen and Caca led Mr. Heru and Mr. Tris who had been sapped to rest while laughing at the behavior of the old man.

Mr. Heru sat while holding his waist, then followed by Mr. Tris who sat next to Mr. Heru. They rest while stretching. Caca gave a drink to Mr. Heru and Mr. Tris. Everyone is waiting too.

Then Nael came and sat down next to Mr. Tris and asked how they were doing.

"Sir Tris, Pah. You two okay?" ask Nael.

Mr. Heru and Mr. Tris simply replied, "It's okay, it's still strong to dance once again."

Seriate.
