The Not A Dream Marriage

The Not A Dream Marriage
Section 46 (AN INVITATION)


Salsa's eyes were already red, her hands and lips were shaking violently she really did not expect that the problem with Reza was not over, it was getting branchy.


“Yes,” Salsa clutched tightly onto a piece of paper she had just finished reading. His heart this time had completely melted away like a grain of dust. However Salsa is also a woman, she is imagining how to be in the position of April at this time.


Salsa again tidied up the pink box she had just unloaded its contents and put it neatly in its original place.


The drama has to start again. He must look strong as if he knows nothing and forgets what just happened.


Previously Salsa berinisitive photographing objects and a piece of paper that he had read. Salsa again keeps her phone, not long after Maya comes to bring Salsa to the meeting room where Reza and his colleagues wait.


“Mbak Salsa, come with Maya. Mr. Reza is waiting,” Maya said.


Salsa just smiled and followed Maya's footsteps, not asking much. Salsa is trying to set her heart, however she will meet in April.


Arriving in the room, Salsa's arrival was warmly welcomed by her future husband's business colleagues. One by one they greet and get acquainted with Salsa to find out the figure of the future Lady Hermawan closer. It was April's turn to regret it.


“Welcome and welcome to join us, Mrs Hermawan.” April deliberately emphasized the words of Lady Hermawan to Salsa.


“Thank you,” replied Salsa with a smile as warm as possible. That's all Salsa can do right now. Act like everything is okay. April wanted to leave the meeting room immediately which made her heart heat up even more. Just April was about to step out but her steps had to stop because Reza's voice called out to her.


"Miss April." In a friendly voice Reza called out.


April turned her back, trying to smile even bitterly because she had to see the grip of Reza's hand that never separated from Salsa.


Reza, you'll be sorry for ruining my life.


“April, do you know where Mr Gio is?” asked Reza with a serious face.


“Why are you asking me? Why don't you just ask him?” april replied with a stirring of her head, glancing sharply at Salsa.


Whahuh? Why am I being taken away anyway?


“You mean?” reza asked confused not to understand from April's words.


“Don't Madame Hermawan know where Mr Gio is? Isn't that like Mrs Hermawan?” April just passed by leaving Reza with all sorts of questions in his head.


Salsa rubbed Reza's arm, trying to calm Reza down as much as possible. Salsa slowly begins to tell her where Gio is and why she knows Gio is there. Of course Salsa told me with another version is not the real one because he did not want to make Reza jealous.


Meeting has finished at the title, Reza has officially announced the date of the wedding. They both left the office building that stood no less magnificent. Throughout the journey only silence is created. Salsa focused on staring at the road with her mind back branching. On the one hand he was imagining how April felt, on the one hand he was also thinking about Gio.


Salsa tapped her head making Reza who saw the strange behavior of her lover wonder. Salsa who realized being noticed by Reza again behaved as usual. Reza drove his car towards the hospital where Gio was being treated. Actually Salsa was lazy to join Reza but because this concerns their marriage then Salsa manut alone with Reza's will.


Reza heads to the reception desk to inquire about Gio's room. Unlike Salsa, who was casually walking, she forgot that she had to pretend not to know where Gio's room was.


Arriving in front of the room some bodyguards were still on guard, as well as Adam. Adam greeted Salsa kindly and immediately let her inside. Gio was sitting quietly reading the file still with the infusion in his hand.


“Tuan Gio how are you? Has it improved?” ask Reza who is now standing on the edge of the bed.


“I have improved of course thanks to the prayers of all of you. What business do you have coming to see me?” asked Gio without wanting to make small talk. There was no friendly smile for Reza or Salsa.


Reza took out an official invitation from behind his suit, then gave it to Gio. Gio accepted without a happy or sad expression, his face still remained flat without saying anything to them.


Salsa feels clumsy looking at Gio's face, she's afraid Gio will talk about last night's incident to Reza. After receiving an invitation from Reza, Gio banishes the couple with a very subtle sign that he is very disturbed by the presence of the two humans.


“If you have no business, please the exit still remains there,” said Gio by returning busy reading the file in his hand. Gio did not look at the lovers who were still standing next to him.


Cih, he thinks I'm at home what's been here for so long.


Rezapun left Gio, difficult to interpret and read Gio's attitude. Reza didn't find the facts he was looking for.


Even Gio spoke nothing of Salsa and looked at her still with an unfriendly gaze.


After confirming the lovers had vanished, Gio called Adam to meet him. Gio felt there was something Reza was looking for. It was possible that he was looking for evidence from the information he had received about his future wife.


"You should investigate immediately! Where's April?" ask Gio to Adam. The young man explained April's whereabouts complete with how her current condition was.


Gio didn't miss any information about April. However April is like her sister, her father's services are much greater than Gio's sacrifice to live April.


***********


Reza, sleeping behind the wheel, awakens when a message comes in. He hoped it was a message from Salsa. In notya the message that has been displayed on the device screen.


Apparently not a message from Salsa, a portrait showing Salsa standing in front of a room in the hospital, he seemed to be talking to a man whose face was invisible, the photo shows a clear expression of Salsa's panic. Makes Reza wonder who the Salsa is worried about? he was able to make her leave Reza.


This morning Mr. Gio was not in his seat. Making Reza's heart beat, is it possible that Mr Gio who Salsa was worried about last night? The questions kept teasing, the answers given by his partner made Reza more convinced. He must hear all from Salsa's lips. And sure enough Salsa told all, although she was still not honest that last night she went to visit Gio who was lying weak there.


Arriving at the hospital, no one can see Reza, either from Salsa's belongings left behind or Gio's testimony about Salsa coming. Even Gio's gaze towards Salsa did not change in the slightest still with an unpretentious look.
