The Love That Reunites
Chapter 37

The day that will not come later. Today Vizah's birthday party held in a luxurious villa owned by his family is very festive. Drinks and the sound of music filled every corner of the room.

A few minutes ago before the show started. Reyhan picks up Clara at his house to meet the mama. Widya then takes Clara and Reyhan to the beauty salon. After finishing decorating Clara, Widya then took them to the boutique. She chose some dresses for Clara. After Clara tried it, she showed it to Widya's mother.

"Where's Auntie?" Clara asked as she turned her body.

"Gee, perfect!" Widya gave her two thumbs up.

"Rey, let's see Clara, who is very beautiful as a potential daughter-in-law" said Mamah Widya made Clara blush embarrassed.

'Since when did I become Aunt Widya's son-in-law?' Clara's new mind is aware of Widya's mama speech.

"Yes mah, beautiful" Reyhan said unknowingly making Clara blush even more.

"Well, because soon the show began, mending us a sneak there, a late hunt" said Mamah Widya.

The three of them also headed to the place where Vizah's birthday party was held. The sound of music greeted their arrival.

"Rey, you take care of Clara, yeah. Mom and dad first, want to chat with business partners" Reyhan nodded and allowed his mom to leave.

Reyhan took Clara's hand. He looked at the girl, his face looking worried.

"You don't worry. Whatever happens inside, I'll always be next to you" Reyhan said, making Clara a little calmer.

They both stepped into the villa.

No no no no

Instantly all was silent as they entered the villa. Everyone was stunned by Reyhan's appearance which looked extremely handsome and dignified. Likewise with Clara who looks beautiful and graceful.

"Shhh, well, how come I'm pinched anyway, baby" Ringis Wildan held her arm.

"Everything's in the eye. Just keep looking, no papa. Coming home from here I'll take your eyes off" Anxious Ayunda as Wildan unblinkingly looked at Clara.

"sorry"

The rest of the young men were also fascinated by Clara's beauty. The girl looks different, looks so beautiful. Different at school.

"Well, Reyhan is handsome" Praise Lita.

"I don't think the hick girl turned out to be beautiful when she was polished" said Aulia.

"Look, the others are fascinated with the hick girl" Appoint Lita with her chin.

"You can shut up, can't you?" Upset Vizah as her two best friends praise her rival in love.

"She's trying to be Cinderella here. Just look, in time you will be back as a hick girl" continued Vizah with a grin.

"Clar!" Call Mita while waving her hand.

Clara invites Reyhan to approach her friend.

"Loh, Brother Mira is also here" said Clara who saw Mira beside Dimas.

"Yes, at the invitation said you can bring a partner. So I brought Mira here" said Dimas.

They chatted while waiting for the peak event to begin. Reyhan never let go of his hand. He really took care of Clara.

"Sister, I go to the toilet first" Clara said.

"I'm taking ya"

"No, I can do it myself"

Reyhan finally allowed it.

"Lepasin first, sister" Clara shook her hand to make Reyhan realize that he was still holding her. He also let go of his hand.

Clara was allowed to go to the toilet for a while.

"Hey, that's Clara, right?"

"Yes yes, dare he come here. Is it not shameful?"

"I think his shame veins have been broken, the proof he wants to be paid. Cheap, how much is the price of his flat body?"

Clara remained silent and immediately finished her wish. He let them whisper about him because he was lazy. As he came out of the toilet, one of the three whispering girls pulled his hand.

"Hi cheap. I'd like to ask, how much is it worth? Hahaha" He laughed.

Clara threw the girl's hand. "So your mouth!"

"Oh, still dare to fight. You'll cry blood after this. The peak event has not yet begun" the other timpal.

Clara decides to leave them and rejoins her friends.

"All right, the peak event starts. To Miss Vizah, please blow her birthday candle" said the MC.

Vizah blew out the candles accompanied by the song happy birthday. Applause echoed after Vizah finished blowing out the candles. The girl cut the cake and gave the pieces of her cake to her parents, and vice versa.

"Alright, now a gift-giving session" MC said.

One by one give a gift to Vizah. It was Clara's turn to give the gift, Vizah immediately opened it and told everyone what it contained.

"Oh, wallet yes. Sorry, at home I have too many wallets that are more expensive than this. This part of the wallet does not match me, fear of money I even say again if make this wallet. Let's see what kind of wallet is this?" Vizah deliberately showed her to all the invited guests.

"Lia, please give this to my maid. Tell me a gift, because it suits him not me" continued Vizah gave the wallet to Aulia.

Some people started sneering gifts from Clara. They say his gifts are too cheap for a child conglomerate like Vizah.

"What does Vizah mean by that cake?" Kesal Mamah Widya's.

Clara just bowed sadly. The girl was actually already convinced this would happen but still it was painful when the gift from us was despised. He tried to hold back his tears so he wouldn't get embarrassed.

"Reyhan, didn't you give me a present?" Vizah asked spoiled Reyhan who was standing next to Clara.

"Of course I have a gift for you. You'll choose" Sahut Reyhan.

"really?" Vizah asked.

"Right, you'd just pick, trash or waste?"

Vizah was silent for a moment. "Ah, you're good at kidding"

"I'm not kidding. You deserve it" Reyhan took Clara's hand and left Vizah upset by her words.

"You don't think about Vizah's words, yeah" Reyhan rubbed Clara's hair. She knew Clara actually wanted to cry.

"If you're uncomfortable, we better go home" continued Reyhan who did not have the heart with Clara.

"No need, I'm still strong, brother"

"We're going to continue with the next dance!" Said the MC who was greeted by invited guests.

"Reyhan, do you want to dance with me?" Tanya Vizah approached the two of them.

"No, I've got my partner" Reyhan said staring at Clara.

Vizah clucked in annoyance because Reyhan refused her. He chose to leave them both.

"Ra, do you want to dance with me?"

Clara nodded. "But I'm not good at dancing, brother"

"I'll teach you" Reyhan took Clara's hand towards the dance area. Dimas and Mira are also seen dancing.

"What is our power that is single" said Mita lethargic.

"If you weren't busy, I would've invited him here. Who knows Lo and my sister are a good fit" Rena told Mita.

"No, I want to be the same age. Brother Lo must be old" Reject Mita.

"Yes yes"

In the dance area Reyhan patiently taught Clara the basics. Clara seemed to understand and they started dancing well.

The annoyed Vizah immediately carried out her second plan.

"Tante Widya, Reyhan hasn't given me a birthday gift yet" Vizah said using a mic, so her voice was clearly heard by all the guests.

Widya patiently replied with a smile. "Oh yeah, then ask Reyhan"

Reyhan stopped dancing and stared intently at Vizah.

"Ehm, I don't want anything or anything. I just want Reyhan to answer my question. Is it true you paid Clara to be your girlfriend?"

Reza and Widya widened her eyes at Vizah's question. Not only them, Dimas, Mira and the invited guests who did not know were surprised.

"Given your cold attitude and cruel impression on a girl, it certainly makes me not sure if you have a relationship. Moreover, there are witnesses who heard for themselves that Clara said she was just your paid boyfriend. This news also spread and went viral in school, you know your name is bad right? I don't want them to say anything that's not about you. I'm also sure you can't possibly pay someone to be your girlfriend. So, answer my question, are you really paying Clara to be your boyfriend?" Vizah asked.

'I'm sure you'll say no. You can't possibly acknowledge Clara as your girlfriend, let alone as a paid boyfriend. Aunt Widya's taste is high, she can't possibly approve of your relationship if it's true. You have to say no this time, Reyhan. If you don't want my threat to happen, it's Inner Vizah.

Reyhan was silent at Vizah's question. He remembered the threat from the girl.

Moments ago when Clara went to the toilet. Vizah came to Reyhan and asked him to speak.

"Reyhan, you have to admit that Clara's not your girlfriend let alone your paid boyfriend. I'll make your name clean if you obey me. You know for yourself they're putting you on a striped-nose guy for paying a girl. Your name got bad at school. With you saying no, your name will come back clean and Clara will get more polluted. I hope you obey me. Otherwise, I'll make Clara suffer even from being kicked out of school just like the girl you used to love" Vizah threatened.

Reyhan remained silent making all the invited guests even more curious. Especially Reyhan's parents. Widya believes her son deliberately paid Clara to be her boyfriend to fulfill Ken's omah request.

Clara looked at Reyhan's face with resignation. 'Whatever you say later, I'll take it. You take it easy'

"You're asking me if I'm paying Clara or not?" Finally Reyhan's mouth came out a sentence that was waiting for him.

"Me and Clara. Not as a paid boyfriend, but as a real girlfriend. You are easily consumed by news that is not necessarily true. Even the news has no evidence. The witness? can she show you the voice recording when Clara says that? At that time you said Clara used me and removed me, even you said Clara was teasing me. That's not true, I'm the first one to go after him. I was the first one to fall in love with her" Reyhan said to all astonished.

Clara looked at the man beside her. 'You're willing to lie, brother. Why are you saying that?'

"I can't believe it, you said it was proof, right? So show us the evidence" Vizah challenged, believing Reyhan couldn't show it.

Reyhan wrapped his hands around Clara's waist and kissed the girl's lips. Clara turned her back in surprise at Reyhan's actions that arrived.

All the invited guests were stunned to see it.

"Kyuw kyuw, how many kisses?" Mita's chirps made everyone sure it wasn't their first kiss.

'How many kisses, that means they've had a kiss before'. Inner Vizah was upset.

Reyhan deepens the kiss, causing Clara to dissolve and return Reyhan's kiss. He put his hand around Reyhan's neck.

All the guests present are witnesses if they are really dating. Maybe after this, no one would dare to call on cheap Clara or anything.

Suddenly Widya goes on stage and grabs the mic from Vizah.

"You see for yourself, Reyhan and Clara really have a relationship"

Widya's mama's words immediately made Clara and Reyhan stop kissing.

"My son couldn't possibly pay anyone just to be his girlfriend. One more thing, I've known about their relationship for a long time and already planned their engagement after Clara graduated school. If I hear anyone making fun of or disturbing my future son-in-law, I'll chase him to the seventh heaven"

Vizah glared at hearing they were getting engaged. Moreover, Widya said Clara as her son-in-law candidate.
