Mirages
Wh who?

Mira seemed surprised to see the presence of the man, who was now standing in front of her. With a sharp look, he turned his head towards Thom who was right beside him, as if asking 'Why is he here?' on that middle-aged man.

“Oh! I forgot to tell you something, Mir! Actually, this is a party invitation from the company Mr Lingga!” whispered Thom, as if he knew the meaning of the sharp gaze of the beautiful woman who came with him.

Mira rolled her eyeballs and let out a rough sigh, as Thom said that. While Thom, of course, he again greeted the man in front of him and did not realize that Mira released her embrace from Thom's arm.

The woman looked furious at the behavior of the man who went with her.

“Don't I tell you, if I don't like that guy, Thom! You're being rude!” grumbled Mira in his heart.

He was still standing behind the man who had invited him to the big party venue, but the smile he had reviewed earlier, disappeared out of nowhere.

He continued to pay attention to the two men who seemed to consider themselves invisible beings, and ignored his existence.

Out of annoyance, Mira takes a glass of Champagne brought by a waiter who passes in front of her. Sipped at once the drink until the toilet, and put the glass back on the tray, then he took another glass for him to hold.

He was not aware, if there were a pair of clear eyes that were staring at him with probing and questioning gazes.

“Looks, your partner tonight, looks upset standing alone there!” said Mr. Lingga as he turned to the direction where Mira was at the moment.

Thom followed the eyes of the man, and he saw Mira who kept staring intently at the two of them.

“Hahaha! Oh my god, I forgot about him! But, just leave him! He will enjoy this party by himself!” thom said while laughing mockingly towards Mira.

Inevitably, it made Mira throw a sharp glare at the middle-aged man. The woman approached the two men and approached them both.

“It seems, I you brought here just to ignore, Thom!” grouse Mira.

“Hahaha! Come, Mir! Didn't you just stop there by yourself! I thought you were gonna grab some snacks!” sahut Thom who deliberately made Mira upset.

“You won't get anything tonight, Thom!” mira whispered in the Man's ear.

“Wah! Looks like you guys are very close yah!” said Mr. Lingga who saw the interaction of the two.

“Yes, Sir! Sure was! Mira and I are so close! Saaaangat near!” sahut Thom, guiding the woman's hand, held her arm back.

Suddenly, from the other direction, a hand pulled Mira's arm, until the woman spontaneously turned her head towards the man.

“Mari!” he shouted while looking at Mira with sparkling eyes.

Mira's speechless. He saw the surprised expression he showed just after the person called him by someone else's name.

He saw a beautiful woman, smiling sweetly at him, with a warm and very friendly look.

However, Mira immediately dispelled her shock, and again put on her poker face.

“Sorry! Who are you, Miss?” thom asked the woman who pulled Mira's arm.

“Mari! It's me, Cheria! Riri, your little friend first! Do you remember?” ask the woman who ignored Thom's question.

“Sorry, Miss. My name is Mira, not Mari as Miss mentioned earlier. Maybe you are wrong person,” said Mira with a cold expression.

“Really? But you are very similar to my friend Maria,” replied Cheria gloomily. “I miss him so much,” muttered slowly with a weakly bowed head.

“Mungk I just look alike at a glance! But sorry, I'm not the person you know!” mira exclaimed firmly to the woman in front of her.

“Alright! Then I'm sorry! But, can we be friends?” cheria said as she extended her hand and smiled towards Mira.

With hesitation, Mira grabbed Cheria's helping hand and smiled at her. The two men standing between them, noticed the two women with different expressions.

Thom looks as if ordinary, but Mr. Lingga looks interested in the interaction between the two, so his gaze is always on the two women in his presence.

“Sure, Miss. But, I guess, we'll never meet again!” she said with a sweet smile, but it felt so cold.

“But, I am very sure, we will definitely meet again soon.” replied Cheria who looks so optimistic.

Mira only smiled faintly in response to the woman's words.

“Sorry, excuse me to go to the toilet for a while!” pamit Mira who walked left them all there.

“Ri! You better get back in there! Guests are waiting for you!” said Mr. Lingga to the woman.

The woman left Thom and also Mr. Lingga, who appeared to be talking again.

In the toilet, in the toilet,

Mira stands in front of the washtafle mirror. He turned his faucet, but did nothing with the flowing water. Both of his hands rested on the wastafle mat in front of him with a heavy sigh.

He looked straight at the mirror. With her flat face, she stared at the reflection of herself in the mirror.

“Cheria? Do I need to know you?” ask him to himself.

After coming from the toilet, Mira again approached Thom who was still talking to Mr. Lingga. The woman seems reluctant to rejoin there, but she does not want to embarrass Thom, because he has been disrespectful to the host.

Inevitably, Mira also had to re-attach her poker face and mingle with the two men.

“Sorry! Am I old?” ask Mira.

“Low if old women in the toilet!” sahut Tuan Lingga to Mira.

“Wah! Looks like you are very familiar with the habits of women well, Mister!” syndicate Mira.

“I do know all about them, especially, the real face behind the mask they wear!” reply Mr. Lingga, while raising the corner of his lips.

Mira seems to be trying to keep smiling towards the man who thinks it is very annoying, so that Thom feels if this continues, it will only embarrass them both.

“Wah! Looks like you guys are a match! Why not try dating?” said Thom lightly.

“Thom!” call Mira furiously, while staring intently at the bloated man.

“Hahaha! Relax, Mir! I'm just kidding!” sahut Thom with his clumsiness, tried to melt the tension that existed between the two people.

“Looks, that's a great idea, Mr Thom! When can we start dating?” said Mr. Lingga while looking at Mira with both of his eyebrows raised a defiant sign.

Mira grew furious, until she was barely able to hold back her anger anymore.

“Dear Lord Lingga, you must be someone who is very busy, so shouldn't I adjust your schedule?” sahut Mira who retaliates against the challenge from the lord Lingga.

Mr. Lingga smiled at a glance and walked forward closer to the woman.

“How about tonight?” the whisper was right in the woman's ear.

Mira turned her head to hear the man's words. He could no longer hold back his anger towards Lord Lingga. After the man pulled himself back away from Mira, the woman stared intently at Thom.

“Looks, I've been drunk enough, Thom! Can I come back first?” ask Mira.

“Yes, okay! You just rest at the hotel!” answer Thom.

Mira also slightly bent her body as a sign of respect, while holding her chest. After which, he walked away from the event venue.

Mr. Lingga was seen watching Mira walking away from him until the woman disappeared in the distance.

“If you were him, why didn't I find him on you?” muttered the lingga lord in heart, while watching Mira's departure.
