Ayu lifted her face to see the man who was hugging her, the perfume she had longed for in the office but had always ignored her. He knew it was Tirta, but why was this man with him, wasn't he with the karmen?
"Why crying? is anyone sick? who hurt you?" tanya Tirta still hugged Ayu, her other hand stroking her beautiful hair.
"My ailing heart, I can't stand to see you with another woman" Ayu said, wanting to feel Ayu saying that and forbidding Tirta from being close to another woman.
"No, I just glimmers of dust" Ayu replied while wiping away the rest of her tears.
"Hehehe? an illogical reason! where is the dust in this room?" Kekeh Tirta's. Tirta is not a fool for reasons that make no sense. He knew Ayu was lying covering up his heartache.
"Let's sit down for a while" Tirta took Ayu to a chair and then took a drink at the waiter who was walking past.
"Now, drink first, calm your mind," said Tirta while offering drinking water to Ayu.
"No, I want to go home! you go inside, someone must be waiting for you," Ayu said then stood up to leave.
"Yeah..!" call Tirta, call Tirta,
Ayu stopped her steps and turned to look at Tirta.
"Tell me again if you don't want me. I just want to hear it one more time so I can take the right steps." Tirta's gaze shaded, after making sure if Ayu did not want it, then he would propose to Karmen.
Ayu shook her head, it felt empty for days Tirta ignored her in the office, especially when she saw Tirta with another woman, her chest tight and her heart was broken.
"I'm afraid of failure!" lirih Ayu's.
"That's not the answer I want. Are you going to marry me or not?" tirta asked while holding Ayu's hand.
Without them realizing Karmen saw and heard everything. A little bit he had already placed his hopes on Tirta. His eyes began to glaze over, he immediately left the place towards the toilet, the safest place to spill his disappointment.
Brugh!
Not focusing on looking around, Karmen hit someone until her bag fell and the contents scattered.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean it" Karmen said, picking up the bag.
"I'm the one who apologized for calling" Brian replied.
Karmen stood up then looked at Brian's face, a very handsome and charming man, a little similar to Ergan he thought.
"You okay? is something sick or your stuff is broken?" ask Brian.
"Money, you mean?" Karmen parroted, frowning, was this man still sane in asking such a thing in a public place?
"Ah, I mean, stuff in your bag," Brian said.
"Oh, no, excuse me," Karmen immediately headed for the bathroom, she stood in front of the mirror looking at her face blankly.
"Come on Karmen...! lo that's why! self-conscious...! Why does it feel so weird? isn't there any connection with him? you are just calm, yes only to that extent, do not expect more on someone who is not sure to like you! forget him, there are still many other men who might be better than him, "monologue Karmen while encouraging himself.
Karmen fix make-up that slightly faded due to tears that had shone. He felt stupid crying over someone who never belonged to him. After feeling calm he came out again to join the party. His mind was shifted to the figure of the man who hit him earlier. Who's the guy? is he Ergan's friend or family? yes it must be because he was at this party.
Karmen is looking for Amelia to return home, some of the invited guests have gone home, Karmen also has to go home because they have to leave again tomorrow morning. But Karmen first saw Lidya with some people he did not know. The otu are Charisma and Andreas and Aqilah, only Azka is Karmen among them.
Karmen approached Lidya and said goodbye, but he also said goodbye to Ergan's family because Lidya introduced them to him. After that he went to where Amelia was with Ergan and some men there. One of them was the man who hit him, but there was no Tirta. Usually that guy is always where Ergan is.
Karmen hit him on the head slowly to remove Tirta from his brain. "Ah, Come on Kar..! forget the man," he said inwardly as he walked over.
"Where's tyre?" ergan asked to see Karmen coming alone, but he had Tirta accompany Karmen during the party.
"Oh. That's it, he's on business" replied Karmen.
"In the meantime, I'm gonna have him drive you home." Ergan took his phone.
"No, maybe she's home, I saw her coming out of the ballroom. It's okay, I can go home by myself," Karmen refused, she no longer wanted to see Tirta. Being sent home by Tirta would add to the burden of his mind. He wanted to immediately get rid of his feelings of joy by not seeing Tirta again.
"Brian, you bring your best friend Brother-in-law home! kasian if you go home alone," Ergan asked.
"Well?!" Together the two made Ergan and Amelia frown.
"What's wrong with you guys?" ask Ergan.
"So he.. is Amel's sister-in-law? means Ergan's sister? my God...why do I have to be around these people?" Inner Carmen.
"When with Mom?" ask Brian back.
"Don't worry, there's a driver, right? no more excuses, take him home," Ergan's orders annoyed Brian. Maybe the CEO of his Papa-owned company was ordered by Ergan.
"Mel, really! I don't want to trouble anyone else. I can take a taxi online, "Karmen asks for a defense from Amelia because Ergan still forced to drive Karmen.
"Can't, you've got to get Brian. What if there's a bad guy out there. It's midnight!" Ergan's firmness is undeniable.
"Okay, I'll take him home," Brian relented, inevitably he had to obey his brother's orders.
"Mel, I'm going home? yan, don't speed," Amelia told the two of them.
"Relax, brother" said Brian.
They came out of the ballroom together. Brian had officers pick up his car in the basement, while they waited in the loby.
Karmen froze to see a metallic blue lamborgini in front of him. Is he going to get in this car? not necessarily, it could have been someone else's car.
"Come on," Brian asked.
"Huh?! ride this?"
"Yes, what's up? this is the only car I have" Brian said.
Brian opened the door for Karmen. Karmen came in and sat down next to Brian.
"What dream did I have last night to meet Ergan's sister? ride the car of my dreams that can not be achieved again," Inner Karmen.
"Wear the seat belt," Brian said as he started the car.
Karmen pulls the seat belt then mounts it. Maybe he can not install the seat belt well because of nervousness. It was really embarrassing, he thought.
"Here, I help you."
