Sunday.
Hotelis.
One by one the invited guests have attended and began to fill the entire room, where an engagement event will be held soon.
While Louise was in Steve's family entourage at the back, she stood with Gisella who smiled happily and always held her hand, unwilling to let go, until Louise was made uncomfortable by him.
And upon arrival at the door of the room, where the room is the place where the engagement Steve and Evelyn. Louise let out a long sigh, while following the footsteps of the tray bearers in front of her, who began to step foot into the room.
Her heart was constantly pounding and suddenly her heart was engulfed in anxiety, because soon Evelyn would be bound by another man.
And when he got inside, his two neutrals locked onto the movement of a beautiful girl standing gracefully, greeting Steve's family who had just entered, with a warm smile.
Louise was blown away, her eyes looking at Evelyn. Until his turn passed Evelyn, he smiled waiting for his turn to shake hands.
But Gisella, who noticed Louise's behavior, immediately pulled her husband's hand away, before successfully greeting Evelyn.
"There is no need to shake hands, we just sit down" he said with a cynical look.
Evelyn rolled her eyes lazily. "Welcome Mr. Uncle and Mrs Aunty, please come in and sit down at the table that has been provided" he said respectfully.
"Thank you, sister-in-law." Gisella showed her smirk smile, while looking at Evelyn with a satirical look.
Because it has managed to keep the husband from the woman who always makes his life unsettled. Then the woman walked back and forth to her desk and showed everyone the best smile, holding Louise's hand.
...***...
Mrs Merry presided over the event and directly proposed to Evelyn in front of everyone, then asked Steve to pin the ring on Evelyn's sweet finger.
Likewise, Evelyn pinned Steve's sweet ring with applause from everyone who witnessed it.
"With this, you two have been bound by an engagement relationship. And Mommy hopes that you both take care of each other's feelings and stay faithful until your marriage arrives later" Merry told her son and future daughter-in-law.
"Sure Mom, I will always be loyal to Evelyn. Yes Eve," replied Steve then nudged Evelyn's pensive arm.
"Yes Steve," Evelyn replied with a faint smile.
Steve gently pulled Evelyn's shoulders to face her, and the man landed a warm kiss on Eveeltn without her permission.
Until Evelyn was shocked because of Steve's action and reflexes to push Steve's chest away from him.
"Sorry Steve, I want to go to the toilet for a second." Evelyn turned her body around and left the room for a moment.
Steve smiled and chuckled slightly as he looked at Evelyn who was running away. "Is he ashamed" he murmured to himself. Then sit down with his family.
"Well Steve, you're brave too! If I were you, I'd kiss her lips too!" said Gisella half-screaming, while glancing at Louise who looked annoyed. "Just love, please" he told Louise affectionately.
Louise just sighed in annoyance, then moved from her seat. I don't know why seeing the incident made her feel jealous.
"Where do you want to go, baby?" prevent Gisella.
"I have to contact someone" he replied briefly. Then leave the room to find a quiet place.
...***...
On the other hand, if everyone is rejoicing in the middle of the event to boisterous everywhere, different conditions are felt by Evelyn.
Because the woman felt empty, because there were no relatives on the side, who accompanied and helped her prepare everything. Including the grandfather, who did not show the trunk of his nose at all during the event.
He felt that something was strange, because during his engagement event, he felt like this event had been controlled by Steve's family.
"I had to call Opa" he said, then made a video call and it didn't take long for the call to be connected.
"Opa, why don't you attend my engagement ceremony?" tanyanya tried hard.
"Sorry dear, Opa is just not healthy and can not walk far," Opa said.
"You sick? Why not tell me and hide it instead" Evelyn replied in tears while looking at the phone screen.
"I'm sorry, instead of Opa not wanting to come in your care, baby. But indeed Opa was not present. If you need anything, just say the same to Mr. Christ and aunt Maureen yes. Soon they will come with you. Oiya Eve, Opa can only pray the best for you dear," kissed Opa Bernadi with a sad look.
Evelyn smiled bitterly. "Yes Opa is fine, I am calm if aunt Maureen and uncle Christ will come here. Opa just rest, hopefully get well soon, I love you."
"Opa loves you too" replied the Opa and the call was switched off.
Evelyn squeezed her phone and held the tightness in her chest, occasionally strengthening her heart to continue her engagement to Steve until it was over.
"Think about Eve, Steve is a good guy. You have to be sure Steve will always make you happy. Think about it too, at least with this engagement you can be free from the gossip that is circulating and prove that you are not a mistress of married men!" inner strengthening.
Evelyn breathed out many times, then came out of the toilet to return to the room.
But he just came out of the toilet door, suddenly a helping hand pulled him and took him to a quiet place.
"Gentlemen, let go of my hand!" hentak Evelyn, occasionally turned her head in all directions fearing that anyone would see them both.
"Would you bring me here, sir, what if someone was looking for me or someone caught us both here!" evelyn whispered in a pressing tone.
Louise put her body together and put a finger on Evelyn's lips to keep her still, while looking at the engaged woman with an unreasonable look.
"Have you cried?" louise asked as she wiped the tears left at the tail end of Evelyn's eyes using her thumb.
"Don't touch me! I was just flickering with dust" Evelyn replied, dismissing Louise's suspicions.
"Where's the dust?" Louise brought her face closer, then blew out Evelyn's netra one by one with a gentle gust.
While Evelyn immediately froze instantly, even Louise's treatment could not be rejected just like that. He was stunned and confused what else to say so that Louise understood, that the attention to him was wrong.
"You may lie to everyone, but you can't lie to me. I know you must be sad today, because you're alone. No family will accompany you, nor the engagement that took place today because of your compulsion" Louise said.
Evelyn was teary-eyed, Louise's words made her little heart feel sad. He could only turn his face away and look down, hiding his sadness in front of others.
