After a long journey filled only with silence, the car finally landed in the parking lot of the building.
Gerald had gone down first, while Isvara was still setting his heart to digest all of this. His hands felt cold with chest pounding that was getting out of control.
"Come, get off." Gerald's voice made Isvara look over.
It felt foreign to her to hear the gentle tone of the man's mouth. Usually what Isvara heard was just a clash and also insults from the man. It all feels foreign.
"You don't want to come down?" This time Gerald's exclamation made him wake up from the daydream. He saw that the man reached out to help him.
Isvara nodded, one hand reached Gerald's hand and another hand revealed a little of the dress material so as not to bother.
Isvara was amazed by the crowds of flickering lights around the building. There was a large red carpet that stretched wide for the guest of honor, the street.
There are about four small fence-like barriers that are each guarded by two bodyguards.
This party event is truly exclusive and grand. Like other colongmerat events, nuanced gold and very expensive certainly.
Gerald looked at Isvara's face filled with twinkle of happiness. It felt, he would do anything to keep the twinkle from the beautiful eyes of the wife.
"You likey?" gerald's words made Isvara look over.
Isvara smiled faintly, then nodded.The two of them walked in, Gerald hesitantly linked his fingers with Isvara's fingers.
Isvara flinched, looking at the man's slightly flushed face.
Isvara thought this was one of their acts to look like a more natural couple in public, so she did it as well as she could, clasping Gerald's big hands in a friendly manner.
"It's okay, but this is just acting" he said in his heart.
While Gerald? do not ask how his heart is now. Gerald is convinced that he really has fallen in love with this girl.
"Isvara ... What have you done to make me like this?"
***
Isvara and Gerald arrive at the party room. It is more exclusive here. Invitational guests who began to enjoy the event, MC and host families who were on the main stage.
Isvara looked at the astonishment of everyone here, they were dressed very luxuriously and must have been all important people. He did not expect the birthday party of a child would be this grand.
While Gerald looked worriedly at his phone. He was waiting for a man, Samuel. Gerald had ordered Samuel to fetch Laura, because she wanted to go with him.
Although she is already aware of her feelings for Isvara, Gerald still cannot ignore Laura.he will tell Laura if their relationship must be resolved soon.
"Isvara," he called out to make the girl who had been looking around turn her head.
"I have to call someone for a second, can you wait here first?"
Isvara nodded, Gerald was never allowed to leave, the man had been acting strange all day. He was also often left behind.
Gerald smiled, rubbed Isvara's cheek gently and stepped back. Isvara was somewhat surprised by Gerald's actions, but again he just thought Gerald was acting in public. They should act like a happy couple.
After Gerald's departure, Isvara simply stood glued to himself. No one knows him here, everything feels foreign.
Until a pat on the shoulder shocked Isvara, making the girl turn half her body.
"Hi" said someone. "Lo's here too?"
Isvara was surprised, the man turned out to be Brandon, his long hair tied up so Isvara did not recognize him too much.
"H-hai too," Isvara rubbed her neck out of nervousness.
"Lo's invited?" ask the man.
"I came with Gerald" said Isvara.
Hearing him Brandon's gaze dimmed. "Oh, so you're here as Gerald's partner?"
Isvara just nodded. From what Isvara knows this party carries the concept of pairing, so anyone who already has a partner, can bring their partner as well.
"So this is the reason you refuse me to continue, because it has been entangled with the same persuasion of the Gerald?" the man's words were cynical.
Isvara. "Not like that, I-I'm just being her pretend partner."
"If you want to be a couple, why not invite her boyfriend Laura? which is certainly more beautiful and classy than lo." his speech was so spicy and sharp.
"Aware Isvara, the man was just toying with lo doang, by inviting you here just to humiliate you alone," said Brandon.
Isvara's sharp gaze did not like the way Brandon spoke.
"You don't know anything, Gerald's not like you said, '" he said.
On the other hand Brandon chuckled. "So you know him? Isvara thought to use his brain, all this time what did he do? just nyakitin lo doang."
"Lo can run away from him and find your happiness." Brandon boldly clasped Isvara's hand and grasped it very tightly.
Isvara grimaced, she was terrified, even in a crowded place like this Brandon bravely did this.
"Release Brandon ... Pain ... " Isvara was grimacing more and more, she could even feel her bones being pressed down strongly.
"This time is not Isvara, I will not let go, it's enough so far I gave up," said Brandon grinned.
"Bas crazy, let me go." Isvara dropped her small bag and one of her hands moved to hit Brandon.
While the resistance of Brandon was getting more and more challenged, everyone here just silently looked, it was natural that they would not dare with Brandon Adriano, he said, a man who was famous for killing someone's life because of the influence of drunkenness, and the news was quite viral first, and made the name of the family of the entrepreneur become polluted and embarrassed.
"Lo won't be able to get away from me Isvara." Brandon chuckled Making Isvara even grimace in fear.
Bugh! suddenly someone hit him in the face until he fell down. A surprised Isvara immediately pulled over.
"That's no way to treat a woman, bro!" Samuel arrives on time and succeeds in making Brandon in a time crowd.
"If Isvara says no! well, you can't make him."
Brandon tightened his jaw, the man's anger suddenly taking hold, until he stood up and clutched tightly the collar of Samuel's shirt.
"Lo!" his hiss with a flushed face.
"What's? want to attack me?" Samuel did not look afraid at all the man instead smiled mockingly.
"In front of everyone like this? if I die at your hands, you'll be in jail again and never be free."
Slowly the grip on his collar loosened, Brandon stared intently at his image and then moved to Isvara, he also looked around, looking at everyone who was now looking at him, while his pride was like at an auction.
Brandon angrily pointed at Samuel's face. "Next time watch out Lo!" then the man turned around, then walked in annoyance after pushing the body of a man.
"Yeuh, it's usually snapping" said Samuel chuckling.
"Lo's okay?" he asked the man Brandon had pushed, the man nodded and then slowly all the crowd walked away.
Samuel turned around, then walked towards Isvara. "Are you okay?"
Isvara nodded. "It's okay, thank you, try if there wasn't you just now."
Samuel smiled. "Let's relax, it's my job to take care of you, boss' mom."
"Mother boss?" isvara's forehead frowned.
"Father boss' mother, since you're married to my boss Gerald, now I call you boss' mother," the man laughed.
"Do you want me to call my bouquet? since Gerald used to be the head of the gang in High School, can I call you that?"
Isvara laughed this time too. "You're funny, you better call me by name."
Samuel seemed to think. "All right, how about 'My dear'?" seduce the man.
Without knowing if there was already a man behind him who was staring intently at him.
"Ekhem!" Gerald cleared his throat loudly.
Samuel stared with a pale face as though he was bleeding out.
"Wine! shop's coming!"
