After the deadly duet that Alex and Anes did, now it's dance time. Again, Alex and Anes were able to grab the attention of the invited guests. They assume that Alex and Anes are a very compatible couple. Even the guests danced with their partners. The atmosphere also became lively.
The dance is over, now it's a relaxing event. Guests can chat and relax while enjoying the dishes provided.
Alex and Anes seemed to be busy talking, suddenly someone approached them.
"Mr Alex, can we talk for a minute, there's something I want to talk about for a moment, it's about the cooperation I've put forward" the person said.
Alex looked at Anes, asking for his approval. Anes nods his head in a welcome sign, then Alex leaves Anes alone again.
While Anes was drinking, a man approached him.
"Salsa, this is really you, right? Aneska Salsabila Putri" said the man.
Anes turned his head and was shocked to see who greeted him.
"Sir Reyhan?"
"Yes, this is Rangga Sanjaya Wiraguna. I've been watching you, it's true you're Salsa."
"Duh let alone this, why brother Reyhan is also here, actually this is a charity party or high school reunion anyway, Jesica is now Reyhan's sister,"
Rangga was Anes's upperclassman during High School, they used to be so close, to the point that many of their friends thought they were dating. But the truth is they're just friends. Actually they used to like each other, but they never expressed their feelings. Rangga whose incidentally the son of a rich man has been betrothed to the son of his parents' business partner. Rangga's parents did not like Anes who was the son of a civil servant, they think he was not worth their son. Rangga only according to his parents, so he never expressed his love for Anes. So did Anes, he just waited and waited to be shot by Rangga but it never happened. Until Rangga graduated from school and continued his studies in Singapore with the girl he was betrothed to. Anes was very disappointed and from then on, Anes dashed his feelings before going too deep.
"Sister Rangga how are you?" ask Anes.
"I'm good, very good. Did you know me and Chintya didn't get married, she betrayed me and preferred another man. Since then my parents never again questioned who the woman I would marry," said Rangga.
"What's the point of you explaining it all to me, you used to leave without saying goodbye, you didn't want to fight for your feelings for me."
"Oh I'm sorry, brother, with what happened to brother Rangga, may brother Rangga get a better wife again, or brother Rangga is married now?". Actually Anes lazy to serve Rangga, but anyway they were never close even though they were only friends.
"I'm glad I didn't get married to her, so you know who I like, right? And the taste of it until now has not changed Salsa," Rangga indeed often called her Salsa rather than Anes.
"Sorry brother, I don't know, Rangga's brother never said who you like" said Anes indifferently.
"Indeed all my fault Salsa, I am indeed a loser who does not dare to express my feelings, does not dare to fight for my love," Rangga cursed him himself.
"It's too late we say that, it's no use anymore" Anes said.
"So my brother, it's all the past, and now as Brother Rangga heard earlier at the auction if I'm married, and please call me Anes sis, don't call me salsa anymore" Anes said, revealing a wedding ring on her ring finger.
"I hope it's all not true, I hope it still has hope to fight for our relationship Salsa," Reyhan grabbed Anes' hand.
Anes and Rangga did not realize that from earlier there was a pair of eyes that were watching them with anger and jealousy. Who else if not Alex, he's not focused on his chat and his business partner. Instead, he focused on the two people who were talking about the past.
"Who was that man, what Anes knew him, they looked so familiar what they were talking about, insolent! how dare that man hold Anes' hand, I will break the hand that dares to touch my wife" Alex said. He clenched his hands in anger. If only in front of him opened an important client, Alex would leave him and approach Anes to teach the man a lesson. But fortunately he could still think sanely, if they were in a crowded place, so it was impossible to beat up the man.
Anes immediately brushed off Rangga's hand.
"One more time, don't ever call me salsa again, I don't want people to be suspicious about any special relationship between us" Anes said
Rangga was about to pursue Anes but unfortunately he was stopped by David.
"Sorry sir, please take care of your attitude, Miss Anes already has a husband now and you heard earlier, she really loves her husband," apparently David heard the conversation Anes and Rangga. At first he is worried, but hearing Anes' answer, David is happy because he is increasingly convinced that Alex's love does not clap one hand.
Rangaa decides to pursue Anes.
Anes went to the toilet to calm down.
Rania follows Anes. He approached Anes as Anes was looking at his reflection in a mirror in the toilet.
"How was your marriage with Alex" asked Rania suddenly.
"Eh mama, our marriage is fine" Anes replied.
"Don't call me mama, sick of it!" inner Rania.
"Did he treat you well?" Rania.
"Yes ma, Alex treated Anes very well, he was so considerate and warm" Anes said.
"You don't be happy Anes."
"What the hell does that mean, I don't understand."
"I mean mama?"
Rania took out a photo from her bag. In the photo Alex is seen hugging a woman, the woman's affection is only visible on the back, because she turned her back to the camera. In the photo it is very clear Alex is very happy, he hugs the woman with a smile.
"Look at this, this is a photo of Alex with his first girlfriend, you should know that Alex used to love his girlfriend very much, because of the misunderstanding they ended up parting ways, you should know that Alex was very much in love with her, Alex was devastated so he went to Australia. Until now Alex must still love his ex-lover, he just waited for the right time to return with his ex-lover. He treats you well, not means he loves you, he just doesn't want to hurt your feelings. I'm just reminding you not to expect more from Alex. I don't want you to get hurt if Alex leaves us and chooses to go back with the woman he loves" Rania said.
"Jully!" anes' heart felt drawn by a rusty sword. It hurt to hear his step-in-law's words.
"Mama knows where," Anes still tried hard.
"Of course I know, no matter what my name is, everything about Alex I know" replied Rania.
"But your relationship is not good."
"Trust me Nes, I just don't want you to get hurt, so don't expect too much of your marriage."
"Maybe Rania's mom was right, the proof is that Alex never said he loved me" tears began to escape Anes' eyes.
"Sorry ma, Anes, excuse me" Anes left Rania because she didn't want to cry in front of her step-in-law. Rania smiled triumphantly for successfully provoking Anes, according to him.
Anes continued running with tears that could not be contained anymore.
