Not Nackal, Nurul!
Brian is going to marry Nurul?

“If you have high hopes that Brian will marry you, you better forget that stupid hope of yours.  If he knows the real you, he won't marry you even close to you,” said Tommy.  “Iya thank you so much for reminding me again about the low status of me,” Nurul said bitterly.

“I became an easy target for you guys, very easy to use but not good enough for you to marry.  That right?  Don't worry, Tommy.  I will never forget where I came from,”.

Tommy only realizes the impact of his words when Nurul turns around and opens the door.  “Wait, Nu.  I didn't mean.. “ said Tommy regretfully.  But Nurul had already walked away from the door.  Nurul's head was raised so high that it was a miracle because it did not fall from its small, tiered neck.

Condemning himself for being rude, Tommy starts chasing after Nurul, then sees Rudi and the other guests walking in.  Quickly, Tommy returned to the previous room.  A polite conversation was the last thing he wanted to do at a time when his jealousy overpowered him enormously.

Tommy hears a waiter announce that dinner is ready.  Then, Rudi said, “How about Father Mother and brother all go first to the dining room for dinner?  I will pick up the other guests,” said Rudi.  

Tommy glimpsed the whole room.  He was looking for a place to escape.  But he didn't find it.  The next thing he knew, Rudi had walked casually towards the room.  Rudi looked around, he was astonished.  “Where are Brian and Maria?” ask Rudi.  “Which I know,” replied Tommy.

Tommy could not prevent the sound.  “She may be ‘entertaining’ Brian in a way that only a woman can do.  You may be able to search them in the bedroom,” Tommy said.  Rudi curled his brows.  “Your jealousy is clear, Tom.  You certainly know for sure that Maria will never enter the bedroom with Brian,” said Rudi.

“Oh, yes?”  Tommy looked at the corner of the other room with a blank look, he felt his childish urge to punch the wall before him.  “Brian may think otherwise.  He's implying that he can almost get Maria,” Tommy said.  “Brian will say whatever he likes to lure you.  You know that very well.  It was all just a lie,” said Rudi.

“Keep why did Mary not deny it?” tommy Protest.  “You actually said everything Brian said to Maria?” asked Rudi then shook his head.  “Yes is it!” said Tommy.  “Gosh!  Do you have no feelings at all?  It has to do with the honor of a woman, you underestimate her!” said Rudi.

“Yeah, Tommy.. You can't accuse a woman of honorable descent of being free to spread her affection, unless you deliberately want to insult her.  And especially since you ha told him that you heard it from a stupid guy the gossip continued to believe him just like that,” continued Rudi.

Tommy recalled his entire conversation with Nurul.  “Did Maria admit that Brian had touched her?” rudi urged.  “Ga is so rich.  But he blushes whenever Brian's name is called,” Tommy replied.  “Okay, I get it.  This is proof you think.  I hope you listen to him.  If another man says such a fairy tale, you will definitely laugh at him when he is confused.”  Rudi shook his head.  “Again, what do you care?  If you're not interested in marrying that girl, what's the problem if Brian approaches her?” continued Rudi.

Rudi hesitated before answering.  “Actually invite Brian it is the idea of Aunt Lupita.  I didn't want to invite him, but Aunt Lupita forced me,” replied Rudi.  Not out of thought for Tommy, what if Aunt Lupita and Mr. Sudarsono have a number of strange ideas to marry Nurul and Brian.  “What does Aunt Lupita have to do with this?” ask Tommy.

“This dinner is his idea.  He promised to support my relationship with Icha in front of Mr. Sudarsono.  But, first he wants to know me further whether it is suitable as a husband,” said Rudi.  Rudi's explanation surprised Tommy.  “What do you mean?” ask Tommy.

“Did everything have progressed so far with Icha?  You haven't even seen it in weeks!” said Tommy.  “It doesn't change anything.  I am still serious about my desire to be in a relationship with him,” replied Rudi.  Tommy remembers what one of his confidants, his assistant, told him.  “ Rich there's something you need to be aware of, Bro.  Icha even ran away from home.  No one knows what happened to that girl,” Tommy said.

“Yes, I know,” said Rudi.  “You know?” asked Tommy surprised.  “Tante Lupita told me.  Now Icha is in a safe place.  He is protected from ‘bajingan’ like me,” said Rudi.  Rudi smiled.

“But Aunt Lupita said that her sister was really stupid.  Aunt Lupita said if I can prove that I am worthy of acceptance, she will find a way to deal with any objections Mr. Sudarsono has raised,”.  It made sense to Tommy.  It was like Mr. Sudarsono's habit to do something very dramatic, and it also became Aunt Lupita's habit to do something she wanted.

So Icha's departure does not appear to be related to Nurul's disguise.  What are the plans of the two of them then?  “Inviting Brian is Aunt Lupita's idea,” Inner Tommy.  “Job!  It must have something to do with Brian!  If it wasn't like that, why would Nurul be willing to approach the man?  And now that she thought about it, Nurul has also been using her time with Brian since that engagement party, Tommy's inner”.

The thought of Brian and Nurul together made Tommy feel scared.  “Are you all right, Tom?” ask Rudi.  “Kok you look pale gini yes?” added Rudi.  “I'm fine.  Just a little hungry,” said Tommy.  “Ya.  Then we should go to the dining room now,” take Rudi.

Rudi followed Rudi walking across the room.  He was hungry.  Hungry to know what's going on.  At least now he had a way to get Nurul to tell him the truth.

Oh, yeah, Tommy had an unexpected little surprise for Nurul when he could be alone with her.  There will be no more tears or pleas that could make Tommy melt this time.

Nurul glanced across the dining table where Tommy was sitting next to an alluring young widow.  Thank goodness Tommy's attention was entirely on the woman.  Maybe the seductress will convince Tommy to leave this banquet immediately.  Nurul would be happy if the widow did.
