The next day....
Thousands of people have begun to crowd a building that has been decorated as beautiful and luxurious as possible, making those inside the luxury building amazed. That night was the anniversary of the Darmawan Group company which coincided with the sole heir's birthday - so it was celebrated simultaneously. Up ahead, there are already many luxury gifts to be raffled for the lucky Darmawan Group workers.
Gracefully, Sheila entered the building. A beautiful girl in a black dress, walking on the red carpet like a princess. Making all eyes inevitably go to him.
Sheila rolled her eyeballs to and fro, glancing at one by one the invited guests. Especially, some people who were the object of his revenge. A meaningful smile rose at the corner of his lips.
At a table, Marchel and Willy notice Sheila's arrival.
"He's come." Willy pointed at Sheila with his tail. "By the way, what did you bring?" asked Willy staring at a box Marchel was carrying.
"It's a gift to Sheila."
"What's that?"
"You'll know later." Marchel turned her eyes to Sheila.
While at another table, not far from Marchel, mother sat down with a friend. I don't know what to talk about. The woman did not know that the beautiful girl who was being greeted with respect in the room was her daughter-in-law, who she mourned for four years almost every day - - a regret of her mistreatment.
The evening event was also very lively. One by one the agenda of the event implemented smoothly without obstacles. Sheila received many lavish gifts from some of her company's business associates.
Some wealthy men also tried to approach him, but Rayhan did not seem to give a gap to anyone who wanted to get close to the princess pour from Darmawan's work.
Guests really enjoyed the event. Starting from entertainment events, delicious dishes, and also gifts that are drawn add to the excitement of the evening event.
However, there were two faces that looked like cloud cover. Audry and Maya. The two are enjoying the act of revenge of a geeky girl without them noticing.
Go to the closing show. Some guests have returned, but some still enjoy the festive party. Sheila was already standing in front of everyone present. He moved his eyes to every corner of the room.
"Thank you everyone, for your willingness to attend and enliven the event tonight. Earlier, I wanted to thank someone who has been looking after me all this time. Someone I consider to be my own father, and also an older brother I love very much. I love you guys so much. I don't know what my life is like without you. Father, Sister Rey... Thank you!"
Applause began to echo in the room. Everyone's gaze momentarily turned to Mr. Arman and Rayhan.
"Actually I lack confidence, standing before all of you. If I remember my past, I am nobody. But in order to keep my salvation from the wicked, my true identity is kept secret."
Hearing Sheila's words, Mr. Herdian lowered his head. He knew he was being insinuated by his nephew.
The room was quiet too. Everyone only watched Sheila speak up ahead.
"Actually, tonight I want to reveal who I really am. And maybe some of the people in this room already recognize me. But some people only see my outer cover. They don't know who I am yet" Sheila said, staring intently at Maya and Audry. "But tonight, I want to show them who I really am. Doctor Audry, can you get me that white box on the table?"
Audry glanced at the table where there were many neatly arranged gifts. The beautiful woman immediately picked up the white-colored box Sheila had prepared beforehand. And like a loyal servant, Audry does whatever Sheila commands.
"This, Miss!" Audry pushed the box.
"Please hold on!" Sheila took off her hairpin, opened the bun, so that her long hair was smeared. Then opened the box that Audry was still holding and grabbed a wet tissue from inside. Everyone who saw what Sheila was doing started to wonder. About what the young boss was going to do.
Sheila rubbed her face with a wet tissue, so that a plain face without her make up appeared. Here are the eyelashes and also the jewelry they wear. All undone. Both Audry and Maya still looked confused.
"Doctor Audry, please give me my glasses in the box."
Without asking much, Audry picked up the thick glasses that were inside the box, and gave them to Sheila's hand.
And, to her surprise, Audry and Maya saw who was in front of them. Instantly they recognized the figure of a bespectacled face with thick hair. I felt like I was fainting from being too surprised.
Audry was silent, thinking about the boss's attitude which was very arbitrary to give him orders. So did Maya who looked so shocked. Even his eyes were glazed over.
In that corner, the mother who realized who the young lady standing in front was just dropping her tears.
"Sheila? Is that really Sheila?" mumbling Mother.
Maya and Audry are also a school principal who is Maya's silent father. Realizing that it turns out their boss is Sheila the geeky boy who used to get bullies from other students. Even the headmaster seemed to close his eyes to the crimes of his only child who continued to torture Sheila.
"Why? Why are you all quiet? You guys remember someone?" sheila asked, looking one by one at the people in front of her. "You remember me?" Sheila walked over to Maya. "Maya, do you remember me? I'm a geeky kid who for three years you've been tormenting. You even framed me with cunning as if you were really my friend. Do you know, it was your actions that started all the bad things that have happened to me all this time. And your father, he knows what you've done to me, but he's silent!"
Maya is speechless. The girl could only wipe her tears. The headmaster was embarrassed.
"And you, Doctor Audry... For the sake of getting Doctor Marchel you use all means. You even got me kicked out of my own husband's house. And you do not know the shame of selling my house so that I am lost and living a miserable life. Even you've caused an innocent child to become a victim. Do you remember any of that? Why are you all quiet?!"
Instantly the box that Audry was holding fell to the floor. Hand trembling. Don't know what to say.
"Look! That's my mother-in-law." Sheila glanced at her mother-in-law who was already crying there. "How he treated me like trash in his house." Although Sheila's lips were smiling, it was clear that sadness was mixed with anger. "I didn't know what was wrong until he hated me so much. He slapped me as he pleased, asking me to do the job a waiter was supposed to do. Do you remember, without mercy you kicked me out of your house? You can't accept me to be your daughter-in-law just because for you I'm not worthy."
"Do you know what a bad thing I've been through because of what you did? Nah! You never thought about it."
Everyone inside the building was silent, no one dared to speak. Until Marchel came and approached Sheila.
Mr. Arman also coded Rayhan and Joe, as well as several other bodyguards, to ask all guests to leave the building in an orderly manner. It didn't take long, the guests had already left the spacious building. Audry, Maya and mother are asked to leave immediately. Inside the building are Sheila and Marchel. Some of the lights were turned off by Rayhan.
"Sheila.." call Marchel.
"Don't touch me!" snapped it. "You're just as bad as all of them. I hate you so much!"
"Stop this, Sheila!"
"Why? Why are you asking me to stop? I will destroy you all just as you destroyed me!"
"I beg you, stop! You're just gonna hurt yourself."
Sheila laughed as she dropped her tears. "Destroying myself? I've been ruined. Then why are you coming to me now and starting everything from scratch? Did you know it was too late? Your regret means nothing to me!"
Sheila was about to leave Marchel, but Marchel pulled her into his arms. Although Sheila rebelled, the tighter Marchel's hand coiled around her body.
"I'm sorry. You're going through all this because of my fault. I gave them a way to hurt you. If only I had realized my feelings sooner, maybe none of this would have happened. You won't get hurt like this. It's my fault." Marchel whispered in Sheila's ear.
The instant Sheila's cry broke, echoing in the room. He let go of all the pain that had been holding him back.
From behind a curtain, Mr. Arman and Rayhan noticed Sheila crying bitterly.
"Come, Rey... We're goin. Let them both. Marchel will finish it. Maybe only he can dampen Sheila's anger," said Mr. Arman followed by a nod by Rayhan.
