Amel was amazed by the luxury of the place. He looked in admiration at the decoration. In his heart thought.
Is this a birthday party or a wedding? The show is so fancy. Apparently, Rendi was not from the ordinary. Birthday parties are held in luxurious hotels.
"This is the venue, brother?" amel asked with a curious face.
"Yeah, you're ready, right? We'll be in soon" said Rendi.
Suddenly Amel felt inferior. This place does not match him who comes from ordinary people. "But I'm afraid to embarrass Brother" said Amel.
"No, you calm down, there's me" said Rendi.
"Ayoo in." Rendi clasped Amel's hand and pulled him inside.
When they came in there were many guests. The party was very good. Rendi continued walking to where her parents were and stopped right in front of them.
"Ma, Pa..?" call Rendi.
Renaldi and Lilian looked over. "Where are you going?" ask Lilian.
"So Rendi had already picked up Amel," explained Rendi. They looked at Amel.
"Who is this?" ask Mama Rendi.
"This is Rendi's boyfriend, Ma. His name is Amel," Rendi replied as she pulled Amel closer to her.
Rendi then turned to Amel. "Mel, know this Mama with my Papa," explained Rendi.
Old man Rendi was a little surprised. Because during high school, Rendi never had a boyfriend let alone to introduce her boyfriend to them.
"Owh, so this is your boyfriend? Beautiful huh?" praise Mama Rendi.
Amel went ahead and introduced himself. "Good malem Om, Aunt. My name is Amel" said Amel, shaking hands with Rendi's parents.
"The name of Aunt Lilian and this is her Papa Rendi call aja om Renaldi," said Mama Rendi smiling happily.
Papa Rendi was only silent because the person did not talk much like his son, but the person was good.
"Ma, papa wants to see Mr. Dody first there," said his father Rendi while pointing at someone.
"Yes Pa, later mama will follow," said Mama Rendi.
"Amel, Om stay first?" papa Rendi said before walking away from them.
Amel. "Yes, Om."
"How come you never told me that you have a boyfriend, Ren?" lillian asked as she looked at Rendi.
"You never ask" replied Rendi.
"You are, if not for Friska who told the same story, Mama would not know" said Mama Rendi.
"I don't want to talk about him, Ma" said Rendi coldly.
"Yeah, mama knows," said Mama Rendi quickly.
Amel just silently looked at those who were chatting. Amel was asking in his heart.
Rendi is very cold when talking about Friska, what is their real relationship?
"So Sofi nyariin you, you better meet her first," Ijar Mama Rendi.
"Yeah. Sofi where, Ma?" ask Rendi.
"It looks like we were talking to Kenan up ahead," pointed to Mama Rendi.
"Just get there first, Ma. Please take care of Amel, don't get scolded," joked Rendi.
"It's impossible that mama was angry with prospective ghosts," said Mama Rendi as she fell.
"Mel, am I staying?" pamit Rendi's.
Rendi walked away from them and Amel could only look at Rendi who was starting to move away.
"Amel uda ate yet?" ask Mama Rendi.
"Not Aunty," replied Amel embarrassed.
"Yes, you eat first? Later aunty tell the waiter to take it for you," said Mama Rendo softly.
"Later aja Aunt, together with Rendi aja," declined Amel polite.
"Alright," said Mama Rendi, "are you really dating Rendi?" ask Mama Rendi.
"Yeah, Auntie," replied Amel lying.
"I'm sorry Mel, auntie asked. You see, all this time, Rendi never told me that she had a boyfriend."
"We haven't been dating long, Auntie," said Amel lying.
"Means Rendi really dear dong same to you? Not long ago dating, but it has been brought by Rendi to be known to his family," explained Mama Rendi.
If they were dating for real, surely Amel was very happy to hear the words of Mama Rendi, but in fact they were just theatrical.
"Amel also did not know Auntie about it," said Amel.
"The joint is the person that is so, cute and cold, but actually he is a good person for Mel so well yes with Rendi," said Mama Rendi.
"Yeah, Auntie," replied Amel.
Amel felt that Rendi's family was very friendly because she immediately received it well. At first Amel was afraid that his parents would not like him. Apparently the assumption is wrong.
"Playing into the house often. You see, in a quiet house," said Mama Rendi, smiling.
"Yeah Aunty, if there's time for Amel to play there."
"Tante was shocked when he found out that Rendi had a boyfriend. He was the one who was closed. Never wanted to tell a aunt. If at home also he is only in the room, rarely out," said Mama Rendi.
"In school it's also like Auntie, but even so Rendi's brother is popular in school."
"Ooh, so you're at the same school as Rendi?" mama asked Rendi with a surprised face.
"Iyaa Aunty, but not in class. Amel adek class Rendi," explained Amel.
"Well, it's good to be able to support each other."
"Yeah, Auntie," replied Amel politely.
"Mel, auntie stay a while. Want to meet other guests," explained Mama Rendi, "you just sit here, wait for Rendi to come," said Mama Rendi again.
"Yeah, Auntie," replied Amel.
After the departure of Rendi's mother, Amel circulated his gaze looking for the figure of Rendi, but did not find it. Amel finally walked with slow steps, hoping to find Rendi. Tired of having yet to find Rendi, Amel decided to sit at the empty table in the right corner of the place.
When Amel had just sat down, his eyes caught the figure of Rendi walking through a side door connected to the hotel lobby followed by Friska at his buy.
Amel tried to follow from behind and stopped near the side door when he saw Rendi standing with Friska near the elevator.
It looks Friska trying to hold Rendi's hand, like he was begging, but then thrown by Rendi. Friska kept trying, but was succeeded on the edge by Rendi. Friska then hugged Rendi and was immediately released by Rendi. Until the moment Friska fell due to the force of Rendi's hand.
Rendi, who saw Friska fall down instantly, tried to help Friska get up, but Friska seemed difficult to stand up because her legs were sprained.
With a worried face Rendi tried to finish Friska. He held onto the girl's waist, like he was hugging her and then carried her carefully. Amel's heart ached at the sight, especially when they entered the elevator together.
Amel, who saw the elevator door closed, walked up to the elevator. The elevator kept moving upward and stopped right on the 30th floor. Amel's knees were trembling, his body was cold hot, his heart was beating fast, his eyes were already glazed as soon as his tears would come out. Amel's thoughts were chaotic, various kinds of questions popped up in his mind.
Why did they go up to the 30th floor of this hotel? what are they doing there? If Rendi does care about Friska, why did Rendi ask her to pretend to be her boyfriend in front of Friska? Did Rendi just use it to make Friska jealous?
Amel was silent with a million questions in his head.
Seriate....
