Dad, I Want to Go Home

16. What a shocking night

Devan had his company's birthday party at a hotel where the hotel was his own. That night he wanted to propose to his heart. Devan sends Rachel a fancy and beautiful dress for the girl to wear during her company's birthday party.

Not long after, the dress had arrived at Rachel's residence, an apartment unit owned by her and her two friends Mia and Weni. Mia received a package containing her dress and equipment, namely hijab, shoes and bags. Of course the price is exorbitant because of the design results from famous designers abroad.

"Rachelorette. There's a package for you" said Mia, putting the package on the table. Weni and Rachel approached the package. Rachel, who never kept anything secret from her two best friends, opened the package in front of the two.

"What is this package and from whom?" rachel asked with a pounding heart.

"Udah, open it first. I was also curious, what package it was," Weni said impatiently.

Rachel opened slowly and saw a dress with her equipment. Inside the box was a card containing a message from the sender. Rachel read the message with a shocked expression.

"Wear this dress with the complement. I'll pick you up tonight at about seven. I hope for your attendance because you are my special guest tonight at my company's anniversary event. Take those two friends and I'll also send them dresses to accompany you later so you won't be awkward at the party, Devan," devan's writing on the card made Rachel furrow her brows.

"God. Why so suddenly. I just wasn't mentally prepared to accept her invitation," murmured Rachel softly.

"Here, I want to read. Be curious. What's the writing?" weni asked as she snatched the card from Rachel's hand.

As Weni read the card, not long after that came the second package for Weni and Mia from Devan.

"God. You guys are so good Rachel. Thank you that we were invited as well and there is a party dress for us too" Weni said gratefully to Rachel.

"May your relationship last Rachel to the marriage stage" said Mia who was also happy with the happiness felt by their friend Rachel.

"Aaami. Thank you for the prayer," said Rachel and the three embraced.

"Rachel, you'll dance with us first!" mia Pinta.

"Ok darling. Now we have lunch first while pedicure and menicure" said Rachel.

The three compactly answered while tosing each other. The three enjoy their lunch while imagining how they perform later tonight at Devan's company's birthday party.

"Not anything my heart has already been beating like this," said Rachel.

"We're Rachel too. We were just supporting roles, but my heart felt like it was going to explode" Weni said.

"The feeling of time passes quickly. That clock is racing against our heart right now. Well, hopefully we can all stand in line with the conglomerates" said Mia.

"Calm Mia, Kakata has Rachel because she is a VVIP guest and her lover Devan. Surely no one dared to disturb us," said Weni.

"You can imagine things that we have not yet guessed what they will be like" said Rachel.

"Just befuck. Hope the show is good" said Mia.

...----------------...

At nightfall, her two best friends Rachel, Mia and Weni, have appeared beautiful like models with a beautiful dress given by Devan. Now it's just Rachel who only wears her dress because Rachel just finished polishing the makeup on her face.

Weni and Mia help put on that super fancy and pretty dress Rachel put on. Now the three are like the Goddess of love who will spread the aroma of love to everyone.

Rachel glanced at the clock on her wrist as she stepped onto the main door. They were just about to come out suddenly, a bell rang. Rachel looks at the CCTV monitor and it turns out it's Devan.

Rachel opened the door slowly. Devan stared at his inner face with his heart racing. The pink dress worn by Rachel greatly amazed Devan. Within the first minute Devan's unbroken gaze looked at Rachel making Mia and Weni elbow each other. Both of them were embarrassed.

"Good night, doctor Rachel!" said Deni's assistant representing his Master Devan.

"Assalamualaikum Devan!" greeting Rachel made Deni close his lips because he mispronounced greetings that did not match their religion.

"Waalaikumuslam Rachel! can we go now?" devan asked as he gave his arm to hold Rachel.

The five of them walked to the main elevator. Not long after they've been in a metallic silver limousine. The car moved quickly through the streets of the capital to quickly arrive at the event venue. Upon arrival, all the guests were apparently waiting for Devan to blow the candles and cut the birthday cake.

"Good night ladies and gentlemen, we welcome the owner of the company Mr. Devan who will deliver a few sentences starting the company's 60th anniversary," said the MC of the event.

Devan invites Rachel and her mother, Alisa's mistress to stand by him in front of the podium.

"Assynolajet. Good evening everyone for your presence that I cannot name one by one. Whether it's a name or a position because the invited guests tonight are all very special for me and my mother in particular.

Before the show starts, I want to tell you something that I'm going to propose to Rachel to get engaged to her first" Devan said, leaving the guests in shock.

Rachel who did not know this would be a special night for him to become nervous until his body immediately trembled with legs that felt very weak to make Devan immediately embrace his waist so that Rachel did not fall.

"Be careful honey! don't panic like that" Devan whispered to the veiled girl.

"Why did you suddenly go crazy like this Devan? what would your mother respond if you chose me..-"

"Mommy herself asked me to propose to you dear and mom already knew with this surprise. Without his blessing, I wouldn't be able to do this" Devan said.

"Devan. Guests are waiting for you dear," whispered lady Alisa to wake up her son who had been arguing with Rachel ever since.

"I.iya mami," said Devan and continued his sentence.

"I'm sorry there's a little technical difficulty. Meet my future wife, Rachel Andara. Surely you have a lot of people who know who Rachel is or rather, Rachel's doctor because she has just held the title of a specialist in psychology," said Devan.

The handsome man then took out a ring box to pin the diamond ring on Rachel's ring finger.
