The Not A Dream Marriage
Section 42 (FAMILY GATHERING)

Salsa was pensive on the edge of the bed, waiting for the arrival of the family who would come to pick her up. Mom and Anna soon entered the room where she was waiting. Smiling in welcome, Salsa rushed out of the room she had been in for almost a week.

Bang Sam and Reza go hand in hand. Whether Salsa himself confused can not interpret his feelings now, his feelings are no longer the same to Reza even though he still decided to survive.

Salsa's eyes traced every angle he encountered.

“Ca, what are you looking for?” ask mama.

Salsa was silent, she could not yet tell about the misunderstanding to her mother now due to Reza's presence. Salsa does not want to make Reza become disappointed because Salsa already knows all the facts.

While everyone was happy that he had returned home, Salsa wanted to be there once again to see who was really looking after him. Gio's happy expression danced in memory.

Oh, my God, am I crazy? Why should I think of him.

During the trip there was not much Salsa said, not as usual when he had been lying in his bedroom like there was no passion to return home.

After Mamah and Reza went out, Anna started to open her voice.

“Ca, why the hell do you bengong keep?” chirp Anna.

Salsa just shook her own head confused by her feelings, suddenly seething again Gio's smile in the eye patch.

“Ann, during yesterday I was cared for actually who is taking care of me every night? Is that maybe the crazy boss?” ask Salsa who can no longer stem her curiosity.

Anna begins to explain everything she knows about Gio who waits for his best friend every night without being absent. Question after question sprang up again about the fundamental reason a Gio would wait for him while Salsa was no longer his personal secretary especially Salsa was not the most important person in his life. How would he take his time and energy for Salsa?

“Ca, I ask you not to over-think about Gio. You must remember that soon your marriage and Reza will be done soon" Anna said with a tone of emphasis.

Anna reminded Salsa not to put more feelings on Gio. Salsa understands Anna's anxiety, but Salsa is not the kind of person to fall in love with. That's why she prefers to go back to Reza and give a second chance for him than Salsa must ditch her marriage dream and heartbreak that takes longer to heal.

There is one fact that increasingly makes Salsa hurt why Reza was the one who visited her the most late? Everything feels complicated, the meaning of Gio's presence when his relationship with Reza stretched that Salsa could not understand. In the waste of thought about Gio far away, now he must focus on the wedding plan that has been in sight.

Three days after Salsa's return, Gio never came to his house or just sent him a short message that annoyed almost every second when he was still his secretary.

The thought of Gio continued to drift like he did not know the direction, trying to be pushed aside but the faster it turned over his head.

Salsa contacted Gio via voice call but in vain because the number he was going to could not be reached. Salsa typed in a message to Adam to ask his boss but none of the messages were answered. It's strange!

Today is dinner between the two families. Reza was present with her parents and older sister. While from Salsa's side all attended including his best friend Anna.

Dinner was solemn, discussion about the dissemination of invitations that were ready to be done starting tomorrow. Reza gave several official invitations to his prospective business partners. With careful Mr. Joni read it, all is perfect there is no writing error there. In the boisterous laughter Salsa looks mused her eyes blank.

“Ca, how do you like?” reza's voice made Salsa an erratic wave.

“Iy-iya.” Salsa answered nervously.

Aaaaargh, what the hell I can-can bengong diaspora this important.

Reza rubs Salsa's fingers trying to channel calm. I don't know how strange it feels, there's no swish like the one he felt yesterday. Is it possible that his love has faded? But is it so easy that love can be lost only with heartache due to the scandal of her future husband?

“Ca, why are you? Are you unhappy with our marriage?” reza's question left Salsa dumbfounded. How could Reza say such a ridiculous thing.

“What are you talking about anyway? Already let's go back to eating with the others.” Salsa pulled Reza's arm, but Reza didn't budge at all.

“What might be because—“ Reza's speech was cut when he accidentally saw the figure of his sister looking at the two of them with probing eyes.

Reza immediately embraces Salsa and takes her back to the dining table. It was fortunate that their presence that appeared simultaneously did not invite suspicion.

Before long Reza's older sister caught up from behind out of nowhere.

“Oiya Ca, hear you become the secretary of Mr Gio?”

Salsa did not understand why suddenly her older sister Reza was discussing such an insignificant matter. Salsa only answered questions briefly, which had been a lot of questions about Gio he received.

“Wah, know very well you about Mr. Gio. Don't-don't,” ledek sister Reza.

“I only answered what I know to think of as just sharing an experience.” All managed by Salsa, he will not let the woman drop her pride. Salsa believes that Gio is not like Reza, who uses his coworkers as an outlet for Lust. So long awkwardness was created, the voice of Mr. Hermawan broke the silence.

“Sam you when to get married?” ask papah Reza.

Reza's papah question made the green-eyed girl choke while the one who was asked only smiled in response to a question that was already commonly heard.

When Marriage? Of course, once my Anne is ready.

Sam was only able to answer the question in his heart. Sam glanced at Anna who had looked wrong, her red cheeks and sweat that suddenly existed at her temple made Sam want to laugh amusedly because of Anna's adorable expression.

Sam who is good at reading the situation shifts the conversation towards family business matters. The discussion that was welcomed was delighted by the two middle-aged men present. I don't know since when Salsa has started to get bored with their conversation.

Drrrt .. drrttt ...

One Salsa incoming message immediately opened the message from an unknown number. Seemed one picture complete with the details given to make himself surprised and rushed to leave the dinner that was not over.

“I have to go.” Salsa said goodbye with a panicked face, all looking confused whether she wanted to go where.

“Ca, wait for me.” Reza's voice was completely unheard of. He passed by Sam's car, which he drove himself.

“Arrrrght, shit.” Reza kicked a pebble and ran into the house to pick up the car keys and catch up with the girl. I hope he doesn't lose track of Salsa.

***********

The pale-faced man was sitting looking at the departure of the girl he had been waiting for a few days. Happy to see her cheerful and recovering as ever.

Gio again ordered Adam to take him to his nursery. After receiving a blanket given Salsa shortly Gio was unconscious because he was too tired to exercise and less rest.

Gio's body collapsed and fell on the floor. Luckily Salsa did not see the incident of Gio who was slumped to the floor.

A few sprightly bodyguards immediately contacted the nurse to deal with their boss. Now Gio is lying weak in a quiet room with no one, only himself.
