Upon arrival at the cafe Oliver Van met Karina who was waiting for him at one corner of the table. The man walked over to the table where Karina sat while enjoying a cup of coffee.
Seeing Van came Karina too with a sumringah welcoming the man. "Finally you come too, please sit down. You want to order a drink?" karina Basa is stale.
"I'm not here to drink."
"OK..."
"What do you really want to say Miss Karina?"
The woman flicked her hair with one hand, spreading the charm in front of Vander. Unfortunately Van reacted flat.
Why is this guy so ugly to me? Even watching me for a second no, damn it! Hold Karina, you have to be patient.
"Oh yes I want to give you this invitation." Karina gives Vander her birthday invitation card to be held the day after tomorrow in the ballroom of the Rossvelt hotel.
The man squinted his eyes. "Why did Miss give this invitation to me, am I not your colleague?"
"This is a special invitation from me, and I personally invite you to come as my partner there."
"Partners?" Van furrowed his brows.
"I do require my guests to bring a partner of the opposite sex, so anyone who comes either has a husband or wife boyfriend or even single even though they have to bring a partner, so I can not if it comes alone. Lara also knew it anyway," concluded Karina began to provoke Van by calling Lara's name.
Miss didn't tell me anything about this party?
"What does this have to do with me?" Van Saying.
"The connection is that you should be my partner at the party later, because there you will also be my partner dancing. You take it easy, especially you I'll give you this to cover your identity." Karina pulled out a black masquerade mask with silver gold lines and placed it in front of Van.
Van smiled amusedly "Sorry Miss Karina, unfortunately I have no interest in attending your frenzied party at all, so there is no need to bother preparing it."
"You sure you don't want to come to my party?"
"I don't fit in there, I know where my social strata are."
"Even if Lara comes there you won't come?" Karina tries to keep provoking Vander.
Van of course will immediately become serious every time he heard the name Lara called. "Miss Karina, why do you always use Miss Lara to pressure me?"
"Because that's the only way."
Van that did not want to be driven by Karina also chose to remain unwilling to heed her request.
"Where are you going Vander?" Karina asked to see Van moving out of his chair.
"Go, because there's nothing more to talk about."
"Wait!" Karina approached Van and gave the masquerade mask to him.
"You can take this mask with you while you're thinking about it, and if you change your mind, call me right away."
Van initially hesitates but in the end he accepts and carries the mask. "I'm leaving!"
"Vanders... Uh?" Karina wanted to touch Van's face but the man immediately sped up and dodged.
"My face is dusty, Miss Karina's pretty hands will get dirty too if you hold it" said Vander. "I'm sorry!" Van is gone.
The woman was stunned to hear Van say her hands were beautiful. That of course makes Karina's desire to get the Van even more passionate. "Van may not be rich, but he has an allure and charm that is very rare for any man." The glance of Karina's eyes seemed to say how much she wanted Vander to be hers. "Any way she should be mine!"

In his room Jeden paced back and forth waiting with emotion full of call from Karina.
"Why did that woman tell me so long!" Jeden said. Before long Karina's call came in, the man immediately answered her.
Jeden: Hello, so how?
Karina: Take it easy about Van I've taken care of, I make sure he will be my partner at my party later. Now it's your turn to convince Lara that she'll come to the party with you as her partner.
Jeden: That matter leave it to me. I'll make sure Lara goes with me to the party.
Karina: Good, then I'll tell you again.
Jeden: Okay!
"You'll be mine soon, and that rotten bum will be far away from you soon!" Jeden laughed happily.

On the way to Miracle, Lara suddenly called. The van picked it up.
Lara: Van are you still out?
Van: Yes, I am on the road.
Lara: Fast back yes. (with a spoiled tone).
Van: Do you miss me?
Lara: If a couple misses their lover can it?
Van : Of course you can.
Lara: Yasudah hurry back and meet me.
Van: Well princess I'll see you soon.
Lara: Van, I love you
Van (Smiling) I love you too.
After ending the conversation, Van suddenly laughed.
"Pair huh? Me and Miss, we are a couple but unfortunately we can't be a whole couple in public, it's really sad!"
**
Lara who had just run out of the toilet in the middle of the road passed Jeden.
"Lara, eum I mean Miss Lara can we talk for a minute?" Suddenly Jeden.
"Just talk, just talk."
"Are you busy?" Ask Jeden.
"Why is that?"
"I want to talk to you for a minute, right?"
Lara was silent for a moment to guess what Jeden really wanted to talk about. "Just talk," said Lara.
"Can we not talk here?" Jeden took her to the Miracle cafeteria to be the place to talk.
Lara sighed, "Alright, if it's just for a moment."
**
In the canteen Lara and Jeden sit at a table at the end of the canteen.
"So what do you want to talk about? I don't have much time so please just get to the point."
"I want to talk about Karina Foster's birthday party the day after tomorrow, you're leaving too, right?"
"Yes I'm going, then?"
"Do you know who you're going with?"
Lara gasps. "Why are you asking that?"
"I'm asking because I want us to go together there as partners, you're sure you know that the party requires you to bring a couple of the opposite sex?"
Lara looked at Jeden suspiciously.
"You don't have to be suspicious of Lara, I'm talking like this well-meaning. Because I know you can't take your bodyguard, right? Because if you invite him you will be the same as embarrassing his pride in front of other guests," said Jeden full of certain intentions.
Lara thought of the words Jeden. I couldn't have brought the van because it was dangerous. But going with Jeden is it okay?
"Look, I won't force you but if you're willing to go with me, call me okay, Lara?" Jeden then got up from the chair and immediately left.
Lara watched Jeden who had just left. "Tumben once he didn't force me? But what he said has a point, too. If only limited terms and partner work seems okay I accept Jeden's offer."

Upon Van's return to Miracle the man headed straight for Lara's room. In the elevator Van was still holding the mask given by Karina earlier. "If Miss were to go to that party, she would definitely be with another man. As for me, it can only be outside to take care of him. "Can't!" Vander.
The man suddenly attached the party mask he was holding to his face, Van could see how he was with the mask from the reflection of the mirror wall inside the elevator. The man grinned cunningly like a wolf "If I wear this I won't be caught, will I?"
