Jasson stepped firmly into the ballroom to attend a wedding invitation from his client. All eyes were on Jasson who came in an all-black suit and shiny pantofel shoes.
The man walked towards where the groom and the woman were to congratulate him. However, his footsteps stopped when he saw the figure of a woman who was standing in front of the bride while chatting with the bride. The woman who was so desperately missed by Jasson, the woman who had filled her heart. The woman he always disappointed and hung his hopes on.
“Manda.” He was in the party crowd. Between being moved and happy when he saw the woman he always missed was now only a few steps away from where he stood.
“What's up, Mister?” Harry the loyal assistant Jasson almost hit Jasson's back. Jasson was unmoved, her gaze still focused on the smiling beautiful woman cheerfully.
“Isn't that Miss Manda?” Harry pointed at Manda with his index finger. Jasson regained her senses and turned to Harry, “Isn't she very pretty?” Smiling with pleasure. Harry agreed. Because Manda is beautiful visually and also his heart.
Jasson continued his footsteps toward the bride and groom. This is an opportunity, although Manda may be surprised to see him but he does not want to waste another opportunity.
“Mr Daven, congratulations on your wedding.” Jasson said as Daven, who was none other than his colleague.
“Thank you, Young master Jasson has come.”
“Of course I have to come, this is a happy event for Mr Daven and his wife. I want to pray for.”
What about Manda? Was he surprised to see Jasson? Of course, upon hearing Jasson's voice staring at Daven, both Daven and his wife and Manda immediately turned towards Jasson. If Daven and his wife are happy to see Jasson coming, not with Manda. I was sad to see Jasson. Instead of greeting Jasson, Manda actually said goodbye to both brides and left the guarantee. Jasson also failed to catch up with Manda because the man had to be friendly for a while with the newlyweds. Instead of Harry's assistant, be quick to monitor where Manda is going.

“Shoppers!!” Bumpat Manda is upset in front of a big mirror. It glazed while tearing the waist. “Why can he be here?” He's what Manda means is Jasson the handyman ran away when Manda was feeling affectionate.
After saying goodbye to the newlyweds, Manda immediately ran to the toilet to neutralize her irregular heartbeat. He was in the toilet long enough. “Quiet Manda, don't be affected on that person. Just ignore him!” spoke confidently while nodding his head and staring at his reflection in the mirror. After twenty minutes in the toilet Manda decided to go out.
“I thought you'd stay overnight in there?” Syndicate a handsome man when Manda just came out of the toilet. Manda was indifferent and did not heed the insinuation, he sauntered leisurely past the man while throwing his face in the other direction.
“Wait!” hold the man down while tightly holding Manda's wrist. “We need to talk.” Holding Manda forcefully walked away from the toilet area. Manda did not even have time to refuse, because of nervousness.
“Leask!” Manda muttered as the man carried her into a car. A black luxury car that not everyone can afford. The man did not care that Manda was rebellious, he still held Manda's hand.
“Street!”
The driver drove off from the basement of the hotel where Daven's wedding was held.
“Stop!”
“Staying way!”
“I said stop!”
“Street!”
“What do you want Jasson?” Manda yelled at Jasson with a distinctive voice that might make someone's ears hurt.
“Close with me, we need to talk.”
Jasson grabbed Manda's hand and grabbed it. One hand gently stroked Manda's hand. “This one time just listen to my explanation.”
Jasson takes Manda to a restaurant. The man ordered a large and luxurious room. Pramusaji painstakingly serves a variety of menus at large tables from dessert to large meals.
“Tell me what you want to say, I don't have much time!”
“Eat first, I know you haven't eaten anything at the party.” Persuade Jasson who intends to buy time to be longer with Manda.
“I'm not hungry!”
“Preciate someone who has served all these foods, at least eat a little.” Said Jasson who was gently able to hypnotize Manda. Manda began to eat what the waiter has served greedily and without a word. While Jasson smiled satisfied to see Manda eating so greedily.
“I'm sorry. Occasion one year ago, I was forced to leave S City due to grandfather circumstances.” Jasson began a conversation about the incident one year ago where he who did not come to the graduation ceremony Manda and he also canceled their meeting plans.
Manda calmly listened to what Jasson said without interrupting.
“Grandfather died of a heart attack. I think you should know.”, too Jasson Lirih.
“I'm sorry for that.” Manda said sincerely.
“Thank you, but that's not what I want to explain to you. I was forced to settle down after grandfather's funeral because of chaotic circumstances, grandfather's confidant betrayed grandfather, the company is on the verge of collapse. I have to stay to solve that problem.” Jasson explained.
“I know.” Sahut Manda is short.
“You know?” Jasson gasped, not expecting Manda to know. Does that mean Manda has forgiven him?
Answer Jasson's questions by tapping. “Which I don't know, why are you carrying all that burden alone? Why didn't you let me be by your side at the time? Why are you ignoring all my phone calls? Why don't you do that?” Manda's words seemed to pierce Jasson's heart with a dagger. The look in the woman's eyes exuded an overpowering sense of disappointment at the man sitting in front of her.
Right, all Manda's words are right. Why did Jasson bear all the burden himself??
“Manda, I.” Jasson's words hang when he can't give a clear reason. He just did not want Manda to feel the suffering he felt, the difficulties he experienced. She only wants Manda to accompany her as a happy queen without burden. No, accompany him in trouble, that's why Jasson didn't involve Manda in the predicament he went through.
“You know Jasson, I even flew into town to meet you with Brother Dave. But you don't want to see me.”
A week after Jasson's departure, Manda had whined at Dave to take him after Jasson but the man refused to meet Manda.
At that time Jasson was busy taking care of company matters so he did not have time to meet Manda and Dave. But can Jasson make that an excuse?
“Since you don't want me to accompany you in times of trouble, then from then on you don't have to explain anything to me, Jasson.” Manda's words were full of emphasis. He stood up and left Jasson still pensive in the VVIP room. Leaving Jasson to reflect on what Manda had just said.
What about Manda, he ran out of the restaurant looking for a taxi while crying.
