Cassandra Loving

Engagement Announcement

Silent.

There are two hearts that are both still there taste but are hindered by blessing. There is one heart that knows nothing, but just wants to be free from this match.

"What's up?" Cassandra broke the silence by turning towards Mayasa.

Mayasa's face stiffened. Pras looked at him with a wondering look.

"Don't nag the kid, May. I'm sure he didn't want this match either. The boy must have been quite depressed knowing the health condition of his papa. Let him be my business. We just got here, yeah. We don't have to meet or talk from now on, except for the office."

Pras remembers their last meeting. Of course secretly. It could be bad if Arik Gudono knew they were still meeting despite being warned out loud.

At that time Mayasa was silent and just nodded. But now why does Mayasa seem to be trying to get close to Cassandra? Whatdoes thatmean?

Pras looked at Mayasa with a mute mouth, but his eyes spoke as if he said, "You promised, May. I told you not to nosy Cassandra."

Cassandra was still looking at Mayasa with a questioning look.

Mayasa stuttered.

"Ng-no, really. No papa." Mayasa tried to smile.

"So Ma'am Mayasa called my name. I think why." Cassandra replied again innocently.

Mayasa immediately sculpted. His lips that he was still trying to be able to smile wide slowly closed.

Ma'am...

Miss Mayasa...

Yes, Cassandra called it that call. Bu may be interpreted as a formal call, but Mayasa who was too sensitive from the beginning felt Cassandra considered him old.

"Yes, Mayasa. You're old.37 years old. You're almost 40. The kid is 20 years old not yet. You're almost twice as old as Cassandra.

Now, Pras has clearly left you. He does not want to fight for you and wait for his heart to melt. Pras the ordinary man. He would have chosen a younger and more beautiful one.

Mayasa, Pras has already shown you. Have a little shame. Know yourself a little. Look at her hand holding the girl's hand. Pras didn't even look at you. Pras did not glance at the dresses and makeup you prepared for hours before coming here.

Look, Mayasa. Open your eyes. Pras took the girl's hand away. He did not even rebuke or say goodbye. You've been forgotten..."

Mayasa was still standing in front of the bathroom door, with a monologue of her own heart's screams filling her head.

He looked at the back of the beloved man he had hoped to be called papa by his children with a nostapa look.

The burly back with the comfortable shoulder that used to be the place to lean on it is now clinging to the shoulders of the beautiful young girl.

Mayasa's eyes then captured the similarity of the colors of Pras's pants and the tuxedo on Cassandra's shoulders...

"Oh, Mayasa. Even look. Pras gave up his tuxedo boss for the girl to wear. You don't see how open the top of Cassandra's dress is? It must be Pras who took the initiative to give his tuxedo to Cassandra. Yeah, definitely. Mayasa, Pras is not yours anymore. Pras belongs to the girl..."

And Mayasa could no longer hold back her tears. He went back into the toilet and stood pensively in front of the wide mirror.

Fortunately, he was alone there.

Mayasa cried without a sound.

"Mas Rendi, I found a nice guy like you who loves me and the kids. I thought it used to be. But I think he's nice to everyone. And yesterday it was possible that she didn't fall in love. But she just pity me because I'm a widow with three kids. He's just too good. I misinterpreted all of his kindness..."

And makeup Mayasa do not be asked again how the condition is now. Crushed apart, like the condition of his heart as well...

Faint and boisterous sounds were heard as Mayasa exited the toilet door.

Mayasa slipped out of the toilet toward another, more twisted path. He could not hear, let alone see for himself.

Mayasa knew where he was headed. Yeah, to the car park. He knew he would cry all the way home.

***

Cassandra took off Pras' tuxedo and folded it, then put it in the back seat of Pras's car.

"Why removable?" Pras asked while turning on his car engine.

Yes, they decided to go home first before the show was over. The important thing is that their engagement announcement is in order. Pras knew Cassandra did not feel at home for a long time in that place, so he asked for permission from his father and Cassandra to go home first.

"Silky. Come on, take me home." Cassandra's wearing her seatbelt.

Pras chuckled. She glanced at Cassandra's smooth shoulders and her perfectly fallen hair on the back of her open dress.

Really, Pras hopes Cassandra will never look like this in front of others, especially in front of Hugo.

"Cassandra, you're a precious woman. But the crazy guys out there will consider you cheap if you look like this. Please don't dress like this anymore." It was very desirable for Pras to say that in front of Cassandra.

Cassandra glanced at Pras with a more friendly eye than yesterday. Maybe he knows himself a little too because Pras runs out to help him feel comfortable throughout this party.

"I think it's just the two of us, you want to seduce me." Pras started to pull his car out of the parking area. I don't know why he said that.

Cassandra turned to Pras and glared. As fast as lightning she took another tuxedo Pras and slid it as if to cover the top of her dress.

"Don't be insolent, yeah!" Cassandra who had been tame throughout the party turned fierce again.

Pras immediately nodded.

"Sorry, just kidding. You're turning bad again." Pras commented.

Cassandra was silent. Yes, he was like a tame pigeon alias obedient. Throughout the party, Pras held her as if they were a real couple. When the engagement was announced, Cassandra also receded as Pras asked her to smile at everyone.

Where there was a fierce face like the one he was showing now.

"It was just acting." Cassandra replied after a few seconds of silence.

Pras laughed as he took his car out of the hotel area towards the highway.

"Yes yes. Your acting is good." Pras said slowly with a smile.

Silent.

No music is on. The usually crowded streets are now also smooth. The two figures in the car dissolved with their respective thoughts.

Cassandra recalled how happy her face was when announcing her engagement. As if there is a separate relief from the burden that has been stuck.

Cassandra saw for herself how her papa patted Pras on the shoulder with relief while saying, "Jagain Cassandra, yes." It was as if he was going to a faraway place.

While what is in Pras' mind is precisely Mayasa. After meeting in the toilet, Pras did not see the figure again in the middle of the frenetic ballroom. Mayasa's missing.

Pras remembers the look in Mayasa's eyes. I don't know what that means. Wretched it? Sad him? Disappointed him? Angry him?

Didn't they agree on the end of the forbidden relationship?

"Ma, Cassandra. Last time on the toilet, Mayasa said what to you?" Pras dared to ask.

CONNECT ...
