The False Lover the Culun
Chapters 30. Reunions

All these signs convince me that I really love you.

I know it's not that easy that you forget all my mistakes, that's why I assigned myself to be the healer of the wounds I made.

I'll start by stringing together the fragments of your heart, I'll be with you even if your heart isn't with me.

I don't think it's gonna be this sad.

It turns out that I was very naive, because I thought that if I won your heart I could do it easily.

I had forgotten, if you were no longer my old girl.

Now you are the perfect woman who deserves to be adored by many men, including me.

And it made me not confident, I was not sincere, I was childish, because I was jealous.

#GIBRANO POV#

“So true if you were once a couple of lovers?” aunt Laila has been flocking us with the same questions since we came.

“Iya Aunt Laila, it's true that we had a love affair while still at school. But aunty just pray, hopefully we can get back together,” I said.

I could see Laila's aunt forcing her smile, then walking into the room where Sherina was trying on some of the dresses I had chosen.

Not without purpose I did all this. My first destination was indeed wanting to attend a reunion with Sherina as a couple who performed harmoniously.

My second goal of course was to show Aunt Laila who Sherina really was.

From my mom, I know that Aunt Laila really hopes that Sherina and Rafie can get married. Of course I won't let it.

Shortly after, Sherina exits the dressing room wearing a mini black dress modeled on a spaghetti strap that shows her white and smooth shoulders.

For a split second, I was flabbergasted by Sherina's beautiful and seductive appearance.

“Wauuww..you are so beautiful Sherina,” my praise.

There was a red tinge on her tiny face.

“But it looks like this dress is too open,”.

Of course I will never allow and sincere, if such a beautiful thing is enjoyed by another pair of eyes.

With heavy steps, Sherina again entered the dressing room followed by 2 boutique employees and also Laila's aunt who continued to shake her head at my possessive attitude.

I waited for a few more moments patiently, until Sherina again fascinated me with her incredible performance.

This time she was wearing a long black sleeveless dress, with a very low cut on her back.

Beautiful, interior.

But once again my mind does not feel willing if you have to share this beauty.

I'm shaking. “No .. big no Sherina,”.

I saw Sherina sighing in disappointment, but without refuting or asking my reasons she turned back towards the changing room.

That's my Sherina ... My Sherina is submissive and doesn't have many questions, my mind.

“Mother heard you'll be at the reunion tomorrow?”

My mother greeted me with a question whose answer was clear.

“Yes, I will be present,” I replied briefly.

“Go with Soraya. I heard he has no friends to go with to the show,”.

I laughed, “Who said Soraya has no friends? Soraya is a popular woman Mom, many men are in line to be able to be her partner to the reunion event,”, I explained.

“But all Soraya wants is you,” Reply Mom.

“But I don't, Mom. The one who will go with me is my lover, if he is not the one then I prefer not to attend the reunion,”.

I was about to set my foot on the first rung to my room, but Mother's words stopped me.

“Some time ago, Laila contacted Mom. Your aunt asked about your arranged marriage with Soraya,” said Mother.

I didn't expect Laila's aunt to call mom.

"Said Laila, you went to the boutique with the young lecturer? Is he the one you're gonna turn the couple into a reunion?" ask Mother.

"It should be that if Aunt Laila had properly contacted mom, then of course you already know the answer" I replied.

“Remember Gibran, no matter how far you adventure in the end you still have to pull over,” remembers Mom.

I won't let Mother's warnings mess with me again, this is my life.

I've arranged my life enough.

As for my next-door, I will follow the choices of my heart and pass them on to the Almighty.

I thought we would both be the center of attention tonight.

Long-sleeved dress, broken white, with details of a successful sabrina model showing the neckline and make people who see must be interested or even admire it.

The dress was very fitting for her, to successfully display the shape of Sherina's body is very beautiful.

My jealous feelings and possessive soul thrashed. Not a second did I let my embrace on her waist come off.

Everyone in the luxury hotel ballroom should know that this beautiful woman will soon be mine.

“Gibran, can I uninstall? I'm uncomfortable to see a lot of people,” Sherina said as I tightened my embrace and brought her body closer to me.

I just shook my head and it made Sherina pout.

As I walked in, I could see him at a circle-shaped table in front of me, my father and mother looking at us with different eyes.

If Father looked at us with happy twinkle, Mother looked at us with a twinkle of hostility.

While being engrossed in observing the jealous gazes of the men, my embrace of Sherina was released because Naila pulled Sherina into her arms.

“Sherina, you are so beautiful. I'm actually sulking at you, you'd rather come here with her than come with me, ” Naila protested without caring if the person she was talking about could hear everything.

“I'm sorry Nay, you sure know how the imposter Gibran,” Sherina replied.

As fast as lightning I brought back Sherina in my arms when I saw Faqih and Sherina greeting each other and Faqih was about to hug her.

Although Faqih is Naila's lover and also one of my best friends, I still would not be willing if he embraced Sherina.

“Wooaaawww...it looks like your partner is very possessive, Sherin,” said Faqih who was replied with Sherina who just put her shoulder down.

Before joining the table with Naila and Faqih, I invited Sherina to meet some of my business partners who were invited.

El-Fatih High School Reunion was never only a reunion event to tighten the friendship rope, but also as an event to establish business cooperation for alumni.

And for the time being I had to endure jealousy when many of my business associates were blatantly praising Sherina's mesmerizing appearance.

“Your woman is very beautiful Mr. Gibran,” said one of my business colleagues who is also one of the alumni.

“Of course. For me he is the most precious diamond,” my reply came to praise.

Sherina's face is now increasingly blushing to get plentiful praise.

“You must be happy, tonight almost everyone is bewitched by your beauty,” I whispered to Sherina, as our two legs continued to step towards the table occupied by my Father and Mother.

“Of course, you know I'm getting ready and dressing up long enough for this kind of appearance" she replied.

"I also have to appreciate your kindness which has given me such a beautiful dress,” she said.

I wanted to pinch her two cheeks, then hold her in my arms. But my intention must be to recollect because we have arrived at our destination.

Sherina ceaselessly amazed me, as much as what advantages she had.

Politely, gracefully, elegantly, and classily, Sherina greets Nashir's father, mother, uncle and aunt Laila. Everyone greeted Sherina warmly, except for mother.

As before, Laila's aunt had always been overreacting to Sherina. This one aunt of mine, is completely obsessed with making Sherina her son-in-law.

Especially when Rafie and his best friend Harsya join the table. Suddenly me and my mother were like strangers, while the others kept chatting.

Not wanting to linger in this condition, I finally took Sherina back to the table filled with Naila, Faqih, and the others.

“What's the problem? I'm afraid Mr. Nadim is offended if we move to another table,” Sherina said as I proposed to move the table.

“You're worried that my dad is offended or doesn't want to be away from Rafie or Harsya?” ask her.

My question was indeed impressed to accuse him, I only felt annoyed because since the first time I joined Harsya's gaze was never separated from Sherina.

Even when I deliberately put my arms around Sherina's shoulders, Harsya's gaze was already like it was trying to skin me.

Even if I had to, Sherina kept following me where I was going. I could feel her body trembling slightly as we now joined the table filled with Naila, Faqih, Kaif, Elena, Barra, and Soraya.

The sharp gaze from Soraya, as well as the incredulous look from the other netra made Sherina a little nervous and probably intimidated.

I immediately hugged her waist possessively, and greeted all of our friends.

“Hai, can we still join?” ask pleasantries.

“Of course,” replied Naila.

Before Naila managed to pull Sherina sitting by her side, I first took her to sit beside me with an embrace that never separated from her waist.

“Wow ... you are unchanged, still possessive," commented Kaif.

"Know to us-we dong, do not you umpetin mulu," he continued.

"Why should I introduce you again? You know him already, he ... Sherina," I said.

"Sherina Kanza, the ex-lover who will soon return to be my lover," I said confidently as I pulled down my eyebrows looking at Sherina.

A red tinge appears on both cheeks.

Ah .. please stop making me anxious, otherwise I'm afraid I can't help but kiss her here, my inner self.
