Stain From you
Chapter 2 The Fiancee
After washing the glasses in the kitchen, Gilda was approached by a family driver from Martinez. The man was ordered by Mateo to drive him home. He also reluctantly received Mateo's good treatment. Gilda felt that she was very troublesome, but Mateo always forced her.
“If you don't receive my kind treatment, I feel like I failed to treat a guest whom I consider part of my own family, Son ..” Mateo said before she saw Gilda get into her car. The old man waved until his white car moved away from the courtyard, and was completely invisible. “You really think of me as my own grandson, Gilda. Like a grandfather's affection for his grandson, I'm not willing for the worst to happen to you.”

A whole week Gilda never told Edzhar let alone met. The girl really does not dare to face her best friend. Gilda was afraid that the events of that night would come back to her, and put her back to mind. As a result, he only busied himself in the bakery. Edzhar herself had not contacted him until this very second.
Early in the morning the girl had already joined the workers in the special room of bread production. Gilda's job was to weigh the weight of the bread dough one by one and shape it into a circle. While two employees around him were filling the dough ready to be decorated with chocolate, nuts, and various other toppings. One male employee stood putting the decorated bread into the oven.
Gilda, who was busy forming bread dough, was suddenly surprised by the aunt who came in and said, “Edzhar came to the store looking for you.” With shock Gilda stood up. “Meet me, there seems to be something serious he wants to talk about.”
“E-Edzhar?” Dalila nodded. Very nervously, Gilda walked to the sink, washing her hands before meeting the man. “Do you think Ed remembered what we did that night?” he murmured inwardly as he walked towards the exit.
Arriving at the bakery, the man in a pure white shirt turned his back on him. By taking a deep breath Gilda called, “Ed?” The man called to look. “What brings you here?” tanyanya while exhaling and smiling.
“I want to invite you to an engagement event as well as a proposal.”
Gilda was nervous, so confused. With her forehead wrinkled, she asked, “What will be engaged?”
“Sore later I will propose to Carla,” said the man who was smiling widely. “Grandfather and I will come to his family. Grandpa asked me to take you, that's why I went straight to your store.”
“What am I coming for? I'm not your family, Ed. I shouldn't have come.”
“Grandfather already thinks of you as his grandson, Gilda.” Edzhar with her handsome smile took one of Gilda's hands and continued, “So, come along .. I will also be happy if my best friend comes on my good day. Grandpa who has prepared this luxury event, surely he invited many people.”
Gilda ber-oh ria's. “Means your application event is not privacy?” Edzhar shook her head with a big smile.
“How? You're coming, ‘kan?”
Hearing Edzhar's question and seeing a bright smile on the man's face, for some reason there was suddenly a feeling of sadness lodged in Gilda's heart. His heart felt strange, like there was a sense of unwillingness Edzhar stepped into a more serious level with Carla. Deep in Gilda's heart, she dislikes, and does not accept. Even so, Gilda still nodded because she was still aware that she was only a friend.
“I can't refuse if grandfather invited me,” said Gilda then who made Edzhar chuckle. “It's wrong that I forbid you to propose to him, Ed. We are not lovers, and ... that night was a mistake that we did not deserve to do ..”, Gilda said in her heart.
“Ah, I forgot ... a moment, you wait here. There's something for you and left in my car, I'll get you.”
“OK,” replied Gilda while nodding.
Edzhar turned around and ran a little out of Gilda's bakery. The man returned with a paper bag. While giving it to Gilda, she said, “That's for you, grandfather who bought it, but I haven't seen the contents.”
Gilda received the paper bag that Edzhar had proffered to her, and asked, “What is this?”
Edzhar shrugged, not knowing. “It looks like a dress for you that you should wear later in the afternoon,” she guessed by stroking Gilda's shoulder. “Alright, I have to go. You should come, Gil. I wait for your presence this afternoon,” the message that Gilda replied with a nod and a smile. “Show very pretty, so you can find the best men on my show later.” After saying that the man wearing the short-sleeved white shirt actually left the Gilda bakery. Leaving behind Gilda who was looking at the paper bag from Mateo.
Gilda nodded. “It looks like a dress for me, Bi. I continued working first,” pamitnya and passed the aunt. He did not immediately work, but went into a special room for him and the aunt who usually used to rest and calculate the sales results. “I was curious as to what grandfather's choice dress was for me ..” muttered while putting the paper bag on the sofa. Then he went out of there and went into the bread-making room.

The red maxi dress looks sparkly because it is filled with sequins on the chest to the stomach, and around the waist. Gilda who came with a stunning look was also in the spotlight of the guests. Not infrequently the young men there stole a glance at him, and Gilda who walked uncomfortably, her brown netra began to search for the loneliest place.
“You're alone, Miss?” asked a man who was suddenly on Gilda's left side, and she turned her head, nodding her head. Unexpectedly, the handsome man reached out his right hand to Gilda as he continued, “Kendrick Jonas Hernandes. Who are you?”
Gilda was silent for a moment while glancing at the hand, which made her fingertips progressively towards Gilda. “Violetta Gilda,” replied Gilda who inevitably gave a friendly smile to this tall man before her.
“You sure you didn't come with your partner?” Gilda did not have time to answer, the host there greeted the guests and the event had begun. Gilda then invited Kendrick to one of the tables available for two people, because available at the event only two types of tables, tables for four people and two people only. Coincidentally what remained was only a table type with two chairs.
“You sure you didn't come with your partner, Miss Violet?”
Gilda glanced at Kendrick and shook her head. “No. After all, I'm not really from Edzhar, Mateo's grandfather, who invited me to this event. By the way, my nickname is Gilda, just call it Gilda ...”
“But I like the name Violet, sounds beautiful and suits you.”
Gilda spontaneously dodged and that expression made Kendrick chuckle. “I'm rarely called Violet.”
“Alright, Gilda .. so, you're not Edzhar's distant brother?” Gilda answered ‘no’ briefly and chose to focus on the MCs who opened the event session by thanking all the parties who came. Kendrick nodded in understanding and continued asking, “If so, what is your relationship with grandfather?”
“Ed and I are college friends until now. Because of that Mateo's grandfather thinks of me as his family,” Gilda explained briefly.
After that, the two watch the show, with Kendrick unable to stop looking at Gilda completely. The man was greatly amazed by Gilda's charm this afternoon, and hoped that Mateo would allow him to get to know Gilda further. Only Gilda is really focused on the MC up front there.
The application continues with the MC who tells the journey of the love story of Biantara Edzhar Martinez and Carla Florine with enough detail. Starting from getting acquainted, dating, until there is at this point. Hearing well all that, unconsciously tears Gilda dripped. Removing her tears carefully, Gilda got up on her feet, and took a break at Kendrick, “I want to go to the restroom.”
“You want me to accompany you?”
“No need, it looks like I will be long,” replied Gilda who went straight away.
Rush Gilda out of the special event room and choose to run to the front garden of Carla's house. Coincidentally the park is deserted. Everyone was actually inside, and Gilda felt greatly relieved after sitting on one of the black benches with long breaths blowing from her nose.
“You shouldn't be like this ..” whispered Gilda to herself as she stared at the darkening sky above.
“You love Edzhar?” asked the man she just met with a flat face. He approached Gilda and ended up sitting next to her. “You can't bear to hear their story, can you? That's why you chose to be alone here.”
“You better not ask. It's none of your business to know,” replied Gilda who immediately got up from the bench and was about to leave Kendrick. Not having time to swing his legs further, Kendrick pulled his hand and made Gilda fall on Kendrick's lap. “What are you doing?!” gilda snapped as Kendrick's hands wrapped around her waist. “Let go of me!” the jolt this time with a higher tone.
“Of course it's my business, because I won't let a girl as beautiful as you feel sad just because of an Edzhar,” Kendrick replied that instead of getting rid of the hand from Gilda's slender waist, but getting hugged tightly. “He doesn't deserve you, Violet ..” whispered Kendrick who instantly gave Gilda the creeps and gulped her saliva.
