THE DESIRE OF FIRST LOVE
CHAPTERS 100. Ballerinas
***Mansion Tatum***
Tonight the Tatum Mansion is very festive because of the 80th birthday event Iko Tatum, Billy's grandfather was held there.
Although the Tatum Company is not growing rapidly like the Wijaya Company which has many subsidiaries today, but many Jackson Wijaya generation entrepreneurs are reluctant and respect Iko Tatum.
All companies that get an invitation must come to participate in the celebration of Iko's birthday.
This time Dian came with Stefan. Ever since the two of them got there, a small smile was garnishing at the corner of Stefan's lips the entire time as he managed to become Dian's companion to the show tonight.
"Happy birthday, Grandpa Ito! May a long and healthy life always," said Dian.
"Thank you Dian," Iko replied with a friendly smile.
"Happy birthday, Mr. Iko! I represent the Bramasta Company" Stefan said.
"Greetings to CEO Stefan!" reply Iko.
"Rigger Iko! I'm excited to join Billy and Alisa" Dian said.
"You're like my own grandson. Often play to the mansion like before," said Iko.
"Okay Grandpa Iko," replied Dian.
Stefan followed Dian walking over to Billy and Alisa. Sherina, Natasha, and Leon have already joined the two of them.
"Dians. Meet Alisa, my wife!" billy said.
"Dian!"
"Iisha!"
The two young girls shook hands while smiling at each other. Billy and Stefan greeted each other with a nod of their heads.
Ever since Stefan saved Dian's life from a car crash, Billy has known Stefan loved Dian so much and was willing to sacrifice his life for the young girl.
Billy's main wish is Dian to live happily. If Stefan can make Dian happy and the young girl wants to accept Stefan again, Billy is willing to resign.
His short trip to Japan and his encounter with Alisa make Billy's life enter a different new chapter. Alisa manages to make Billy forget his first love's passion for Dian slowly and surely.
Dian will still be Billy's best friend, as will Sherina, Natasha, Dion, and Leon. The love for Dian as the opposite sex has turned into affection for friends.
Billy's desire now is to build a harmonious household with Alisa. Billy is determined in his heart to learn to love Alisa because of the young girl who will accompany him until the end of his life.
"Congratulations on your marriage in Japan. When is the reception in Bali?" ask Dian.
"Two weeks," replied Billy.
"I'll prepare a nice present for Alisa" Dian said.
"Billy! I didn't think your wedding reception was faster than Kak Rina's" Leon said spontaneously.
"Oh yes. I also do not know when the reception Kak Rina and Kak Chandra," said Dian.
Chandra and Sherina are taking care of all the preparations for their marriage. From pre-wedding photoshoots, wedding dresses, and more.
The Wijaya family and the Saputra Family gave complete freedom to both of them because they were the ones who would become a couple later so that Dian did not know the exact date of Chandra and Sherina's wedding was held.
"Half more years," Sherina replied with certainty.
"A few more years? Maybe Chandra's job is so much that he can't leave now" Dian said.
Dian did not realize Natasha's face was blushing red upon hearing Sherina's reply. Natasha glanced at Kelvin who was standing not far from them and conversed with Chandra.

The sound of melodious music made them all turn their attention to the stage built in the middle of the room. There were several young musicians playing musical instruments in their hands.
"Grandfather invited young musicians and dancers to celebrate his birthday" Billy said.
"Let's enjoy the show" Sherina excitedly asked.
Chandra and Kelvin have joined them. Chandra stood beside Sherina, while Kelvin stood beside Natasha while looking at the young girl with a gentle gaze.
"Fa! I just realized that Kelvin and Tasha are very compatible" said Dian.
"Yes" replied Stefan.
The attention of Dian and the invited guests focused with the show on stage. They are unaware Chandra, Kelvin, and Stefan are gesturing to each other.
The three men circulated their gazes around the mansion vigilantly. Even some of the bodyguards, Bagaskara's men and also the bodyguards that Stefan hired mixed themselves into the crowd of invited guests.
The sound of music being played is getting more cheerful. Several singers and dancers came out one after another to perform so that it attracted the attention of everyone.
A few moments later the type of music played turned into classical music. Five dancers dressed in ballet danced beautifully.
Dian turned to Stefan who was staring intensely at him from the side and ignored the friendly gaze of the ballerina, Gisel.
Gisel accidentally joins the dancers in charge of entertaining at Iko Tatum's birthday show because Gisel believes Stefan will attend this event.
Gisel wants to present her perfect ballet dance to Stefan, hoping the young man will remember the beginning of their relationship.
At that time Stefan was intrigued and stunned and stared at Gisel's ballet. From then on Gisel becomes Stefan's girlfriend so that the girl on the wall is convinced that she is Stefan's first love and can certainly reclaim the young man's heart.
Gisel is unwilling to return to his current life of being the fifth wife of a striped old grandfather.
***
One dance ended and Gisel felt a deep disappointment. Stefan did not stare at him for a single second, but Gisel was unwilling to give up as this was his last chance.
Gisel picked up the microphone attached in front of the musical instrument. The other musicians and dancers stare confusedly at Gisel.
"I wish you a happy birthday to Mr. Iko Tatum. May you live a long and happy life always!" Gisel.
The sound of applause from the invited guests because they thought Gisel's congratulations were part of the show.
Of course Chandra's entourage didn't applaud. They stared intently at Gisel and hinted that the shameless girl would be looking for trouble with Dian.
"I invited Miss Dian Wijaya to perform a ballet with me" Gisel continued.
Dian only smiled slightly and ignored Gisel's request.
"Miss Dian Wijaya has an honorable status. Is it not willing to dance as a congratulation to Mr Iko Tatum?" ask Gisel again.
Stefan clasped Dian's hand spontaneously. "Dian! Don't mind that crazy woman! Bodyguard will drag him out!" stefan said in a loud voice.
Gisel's face turned pale at Stefan's threat. Gisel didn't expect Stefan to be so protective of Dian.
Stefan doesn't want Dian to get into Gisel's trap and be humiliated in this show.
Stefan, Chandra, and Kelvin all knew Gisel was a dancer for tonight's birthday.
The three of them had already prepared a bodyguard to protect Dian. It's just that they didn't think Gisel could make a stupid request for Dian to dance ballet with him.
Dian patted Stefam's back with his left hand, then removed his right hand from Stefan's grasp.
Dian bent her legs and took off her high heels one by one calmly. Chandra's entourage already knows what Dian will do in a moment. Stefan was the only one who was still staring at Dian in confusion.
Stefan hinted Dian would accept Gisel's challenge and his little heart said Dian would win.
"Fa! Please take care of my high heels!" dian said before walking onto the stage.
Gisel walked backwards a few steps as he felt an aura of intimidation from Dian. Dian took the microphone from Gisel's hand and put it back in place.
"You don't deserve to dance with me! Downhill!" Dian's orders.
Two bodyguards of Bagaskara's men rushed up onto the stage and pulled Gisel down from there.
Dian turned to the musicians and smiled kindly. The musicians were hypnotized with Dian's smile and played classical music with their respective instruments, as if they understood Dian's command of the young girl's smile.
Dian started her ballet dance beautifully and confidently. Her toes are very flexible and tiptoe to the rhythm of classical music, until at the end of the music, Dian performed 32 rounds of fouettes perfectly.
##Fouette rotation is a movement performed by a dancer in a standing position with one leg flat on the floor and bent. The second leg is then thrown to the side making a spin. These throws result in the body turning once. The thrown leg is then immediately placed on the knee (retire) while the other leg tengjit en pointe. The ability to perform these rounds 32 times is seen as an indication of the skill of a ballerina and demonstrates strength, technical expertise and stamina##
The sound of applause from the invited guests echoed inside the Tatum Mansion, while Gisel glared with a look of disbelief that Dian could dance ballet with professionals, even exceeding the ballet performance earlier.
Stefan stood in his place. The shadow of Dian's ballet dance repeated continuously in her eye pelupuk. Dian's ballet dance reminds Stefan of the little girl dressed in ballerina he met at Hartono Restaurant.
"Princess!" mumbling Stefan.
Today the memories of decades ago reappear more clearly. Stefan recalled that the little girl had two twin brothers and they always called the little girl with a princess call.
Stefan had heard Billy and Leon calling Dian a princess. All the flashbacks of that memory came together in Stefan's mind until the young man finally realized and was convinced of his current thinking.
"Dian and the little girl are the same person," inner Stefan.
