Claire looks sad because Melvin didn't see her. He had been away from this city for a week. Stupidly, Claire doesn't have Melvin's phone number.
Claire is in a hotel room where she spends time with her boyfriend. "Have you forgotten your promise, El? Or maybe I'm hoping too much?"
Claire sat on the lip of the bed looking down, her tears shed instantly. "Hiks.it seems like I was the one who was hoping too much."
Satisfied with crying, Claire moved on from there. Leaving the hotel environment without a clear destination. Because he had already decided not to return to the mansion. And now Claire doesn't know where to go. Feeling tired, he sat at a stop. He doesn't care about the people around him right now.
"Mommy, why didn't you come looking for me? Am I not that important? No one wants me in this world." He muttered while looking down languidly. Even her tears came back.
"You're wrong, sweet girl. I'm looking for you, and I want you." Sahut someone who managed to make Claire aghast shocked and immediately turned his head. He squinted his eyes at the person currently sitting next to him. The other one is Gabriel. Until this moment the man did not come home because he was trying to find the whereabouts of his sweet girl. Today the fruit of his patience is ready to be picked.
"Who are you?" Hardik Claire's.
"You forgot about me huh?"
The girl's forehead is wrinkled. "Have we met? Sorry, I don't remember." Actually.
Gabriel smiled faintly. I like cute girls. "Do you have no purpose?"
"It's none of your business." Claire left there, leaving Gabriel. "Freak man."
"Sweet, where are you going?" Gabriel asked who was chasing him. He even managed to keep up with the girl's steps.
"Don't follow me, I already have a lover."
"Melvin Digantara?"
Hearing that Claire's footsteps were held back, as well as Gabriel. Claire glared at the man.
"You're investigating me?"
"Of course, I'm interested in you."
"Cih, who are you? How dare I investigate my personal matters." Ketus Claire's. He had never seen or heard of Gabriel, because he had never appeared on social media like the others.
Gabriel stretched out his hand. "Gabriel Digantara, Melvin's cousin."
The deg!
Claire was wide-eyed to hear that. "You... Are you Mr Gabriel?"
Gabrile smiled happily . "Yes." Yeah."
Claire smiled in anguish. "Then what do I care? What I want is your cousin. Not you." The cynic.
Not offended, Gabriel laughed. "You want her, too bad she never wanted you."
Gabriel pulled out his phone, then looked for something. "See this." He says while showing the screen of his phone. "She just announced her new boyfriend."
"I know." Claire turned her face away. Actually, he knew about the news. But he insisted that he could conquer Melvin's heart.
Gabrile had his phone back. "I can give you more than he gives, Claire."
"I don't need." Claire continued her steps. This time it was faster. However, his pace could of course be offset by Gabriel since the man had a body size that was much larger than him. "Stop following me."
"I will continue to follow you" Gabriel said.
"Whatever." Ketus Claire's. His eyes looked for something to avoid the man. Until his idea came up, he accelerated his steps toward the women's toilet. Of course Gabriel can't get in.
The man smiled amusedly. "We see how far you can go, sweet girl? I don't care if you belong to Melvin even once. I'll get you."
Claire sat on the closet. Then rubbed his face violently. "Why should I meet him? Why not Melvin?"
Claire was silent for a long time. Then suddenly a brilliant idea appeared in her beautiful head. "Ah, why don't I just use it? He's the only one who can take me to that son of a bitch."
Not long after Claire got out of there. Sure enough, the man was still waiting for him.
"I thought you were gonna run away?" Syndicated Gabriel.
"I'm not a rat that can escape through a crack." Annoyed Claire.
Hearing that Gabriel chuckled. "You're really sweet, baby."
Claire looked at the man. "You really want me? Or do you just want to dump me like that?"
Gabriel smiled so charmingly. "My age can't play games for love anymore, baby. I'm the oldest child in my family."
Claire remained silent. "Don't tell me you want to get me married?"
Gabriel nodded. "Yes, if you don't mind."
Claire bit the tip of her lip. How'this? I can't give him false hope. All I want to marry is one, that's the jerk.
"Em. I don't know you any more. This is the first time I've met you."
"Second time." Erat Gabriel.
"Ah, it's up to you. I mean, look, what if we knew each other first?" Bargain the girl.
Hah, I hope he takes me to his country. So I'd be more free to meet that jerk.
Gabriel thought for a moment. "Em. doesn't matter."
Claire was silent for a moment.
"Look, tomorrow is Eveline and Lucas' wedding day. Are you willing to be my partner?" Bargain Gabriel.
Gabriel smiled happily. "Because tomorrow's a special day, I'll take you to buy a dress."
"Huh? You serious?"
"Yes, come. This afternoon we leave. So don't waste time." Gabriel pulled Claire's hand and took her away from there.
****
Ballroom Hotel Digan't Group
The romantic music sounds so melodious, as if expressing the happiness felt by the two brides who were already sitting sweetly on the super magnificent pelaminan.
Eveline looks so beautiful with ivory wedding dress. Likewise with Lucas who looks handsome wearing matching color tuxedo. The newlyweds smiled broadly as they watched Violet climb onto the leash with Paul.
"Well, I can't believe you two came?" Sapa Lucas's.
"I don't think your advice is bad, he's a good guy. I like it." Violet hugged Lucas. "Congratulations to you, Luc. I'm so happy."
Lucas returned the hug, even giving a kiss on Violet's head. "He was gone when he saw you coming." His whisper.
"That's better. Otherwise I'm not sure I can hold back." Violet also whispered a little.
Lucas smiled as he looked at Paul. "May you and Paul really be a match."
"Yes, I hope so."
Paul smiled hearing that.
Violet pulls out of Lucas's arms, and switches to Eveline. Hugged his cousin warmly. "Hi, congratulations little brother. You finally passed your brothers. You're great."
Eveline smiled and returned Violet's embrace. "Thank you, Vi. I will always pray for your happiness too. Is she your lover?"
"Not yet, but it probably will." Violet replied as she broke their embrace.
"Don't dawdle. It seems he can't stand it anymore. Do you look sexy like this." Eveline whispered as she rolled her eyes at Paul who was talking to Lucas.
Violet glanced at Paul at a glance. Then he brought his face closer to Eveline. "I've teased him, but he's not tempted at all. It sucks."
Eveline laughed a little. "I don't think you're attractive."
"Geev!" Annoyed that pretty girl.
"Wait!" Eveline screeched as her eyes caught a pair of humans who had just entered the ballroom. "Did I not see wrong? Claire's with Gabriel?"
Hearing that Violet looked back. His eyes were round when he saw that. "Wow... Am I dreaming? Gabriel started admitting his lover to the world?"
"Hey, she's not her boyfriend. That's Claire, Summer's sister."
"What?" Shocked Violet. "How can they be together?"
"Okay, I don't know either." Eveline replied with eyes still on them.
Not only them, the entire extended family also looked towards them. Yes, let's just say that right now they are the center of attention more attractive than brides.
Damnit damnit!
Bumpat Melvin when he saw Claire who appeared so charming. Even those sharp eyes were immediately fixed on Claire's sexy lips that she had smashed several times.
The cesss!
Their views meet. That's him, asshole. Goddamnit! He's holding another woman? Look, I'll pay it back. "Gab, I'm thirsty."
Gabriel looked. "What do you want to drink, huh?"
"Anything, as long as it can treat my phlegm." Claire answered with a sweet smile.
Goddamn bum. I was thirsty just because I saw that man hugging another woman.
"All right, come on." Gabriel takes Claire to the restaurant area that serves various types of food and drinks.
"Wine?"
"Nope, moctail only."
"You never drink alcohol huh? Don't want to try it?"
"I don't dare."
"Why?"
"Because he's too young." Melvin who knows since when it has stood behind them. Both of them turned around. Melvin immediately raised a sharp look at his lover. "I need to talk to my girl, Gab. He should be punished."
Without warning Melvin immediately attracted Claire.
"Hey, where are you taking my girlfriend?" Shouted Gabriel.
"Sorry, Sob. She's my lover." Melvin continued to take Claire away from there. Of course, it left everyone confused and wondering.
"I think a civil war is going to happen." Violet Mumbled.
"Yes, you're right." Lucas Sahut.
Tbc....
