Dara entered his office like she was not treading the earth. Today she decided to talk to her boss about the news of her marriage. I don't know, he doesn't know how his friends respond if they know this, because they know Dara doesn't have a boyfriend but know-how to get married. Especially if they know who Dara will marry. He was sure his entire office would be in an uproar.
However, what he was worried about was actually Joseph's response. What if the man finds out? Because lately Joseph is impressed to pursue him, even the man had expressed love even though not directly. Dara is really made anxious, why not do it first? Now even though Joseph likes it for free, because Dara will marry someone else and will soon have children.
"Hey, early in the morning was daydreaming. Are you sick?" Dara jumped suddenly Nia patted him from behind.
"Ah, you're so surprised. Uh, by the way, is Mulyani here?"
"Yet, why?" Dara's hand played the pen, she was really nervous about talking to Nia.
"Hey, why? How, silence?"
"Nia, I'm .. I'm getting married this month. And today I want a press conference at two o'clock." Nia glared in shock and almost shouted, but she held it with both hands. Nia pulled out a chair and sat down in front of Dara.
"Rei has already decided to take responsibility? When did he talk to your parents?" Nia asked in a soft voice.
"Every night. Nia, I'm really stressed and don't know what my future is. Rei told my parents that he would marry me this month. Of course we didn't tell you the real reason why we had to get married, Rei just said he loved me so much and wanted to marry me before his concert in Malaysia. Know it? Reindra is really good at acting."
"Of course, if he sucks at acting, he won't get the award as the best newcomer actor" Nia said as she patted Dara's thigh.
"You're right. Uh, that's Ms. Mulyani. In a minute, I'll go to the room first."
Dara quickly got up from her seat, then followed Bu Mulyani to her room. Nia shook her head as she looked at Dara's back away. Nia was both concerned and amazed at her best friend. Dara could face the trials that hit her, but Nia also thinks Dara is the luckiest woman to marry the number one dream man in the country.

Dara knocked on Bu Mulyani's open door.
"Lake in!" exclaimed Bu Mulyani who was storing her bag to the table. Dara reluctantly enters the Head Teller's room.
Ms. Mulyani raised her face. "Oh Dara, what's wrong?" ask the Head Teller with a smile.
"Sorry ma'am, could you please have a minute? I have something to talk about."
"All right, let's sit down!"
Dara pulled a chair in front of Bu Mulyani's desk.he cleared his throat still did not dare to look at her superior's face.
"What's Dara? Is there anything important?"
"Yes Ma'am," Dara replied still nervously. Dara cleared her throat again. While Bu Mulyani waited patiently, letting Dara overcome her nervousness first.
"Mom, this month I plan to get married. And I'll ask for a leave of absence."
Bu Mulyani's face was immediately delighted. "Well, that's good news. What date are you getting married?" Dara was a bit confused to answer that question because Rei had not told a definite date.
"Not yet to know, Mom. There is no certainty of what date. But certainly this month," replied Dara.
"Alright, but you have to apply for her leave not suddenly, it must be a week before" said Ms. Mulyani.
Dara nodded. "Yes, I know, Mom. And also today I asked permission to work half a day. Because ...." Dara's words were interrupted.
Bu Mulyani's forehead crinkled as she saw Dara stop her speech and look confused.
"Why, Dara?"
"Because I'm going to hold a press conference" said Dara in a voice that grew quieter, but Bu Mulyani could hear him.
"What's? Press conference?" Bu Mulyani was shocked and astonished.
"I .. yes, Mom. Because I'm getting married to a singer."
Ms. Mulyani chuckled with a look of astonishment. "You're a girl full of surprises. I know you're the most secretive girl compared to the others. All I know is that you don't have a boyfriend either, but you know you're getting married to a singer anyway, and you want a press conference of all sorts. Well, you're really awesome. But I'm happy. All right, you can come home at twelve" said Ms. Mulyani.
Dara smiled. "Thank you, ma'am" said Dara, then stood up. "Alright, I'll excuse you first then," said Dara then left the room, but when Dara was in the doorway, Ms. Mulyani again called out to her.
"Eh Dara for a moment, if you may know, who will you marry? I know some famous singers."
Dara blinked, flinching for a moment, hesitating to answer.
"Reindra, Mom." But Dara finally answered. Dara slightly bowed her body before completely leaving the room. While Bu Mulyani gaped in disbelief. How did he not know about the artist? Her biggest daughter idolizes the singer, and her room is full of Reindra photos. Even some time ago his daughter to whine asking to buy a ticket for Rei concert in Jakarta. And know now one of his men will marry him. This is really surprising.
🌷🌷🌷
Rumors about Dara getting married immediately spread throughout the office, and eventually the news reached Joseph's ears. The flamboyant man did not believe it just like that. He thinks it's impossible. Because all he knows is Dara doesn't have a boyfriend and just likes her.
Joseph secretly watched Dara who was busy serving customers. Why was he so stupid to ignore a girl as beautiful as Dara? Why is this awareness coming too late? Did Dara deliberately create that rumor to make her jealous? Joseph put his hand in front. He's really sorry. Really am.
'May there be a chance, ' he sizzled in his heart.

It had been half an hour for Nino to wait for Dara in the car right in the bank parking lot where Dara worked. This morning after Dara spoke to Bu Mulyani, she contacted Rei about to return home at twelve, and Rei sent Nino to pick her up.
When Nino was busy listening to music with a hedset, suddenly the glass door of his car was knocking. Apparently Security.
Iman was astonished by the luxury car that came and parked there, but the person in the car did not get out. Feeling suspicious at last Security checked the parked car.
Nino was surprised, he hurriedly removed the hedset and opened the car door and got out.
"Yes, Sir?" nino Sahut.
"I'm sorry, I noticed you've had half an hour of parking here but there's nothing you do. Don't you want to take care of something in this bank?"
"Oh, anu .. I .. I'm here for ...." Nino said nervously as she saw Security's face look creepy and full of suspicion on her. Wouldn't the Security suspect that he's going to keep a bomb or maybe rob the bank?
"Pak Faith ...." Suddenly there was a female voice reprimanding behind Security's back. Faith turned and knew there was Dara behind her.
"Eh, Ma'am Dara ...." Faith nyengir.
"She's here to pick me up, sir," said Dara, then smiled kindly at Iman.
"Oh so. But by the way, you want to go home now?" Iman asked because he saw Dara carrying a bag.
"Yes, Sir. I'm allowed to work half a day."
"Oh, are you feeling sick again?"
"Ah, no. I want some important business."
"Oh so. Alright. Be careful then."
"Yes, excuse me, sir," said Dara then entered the car, followed by Nino entered through the steering door.
🌷🌷🌷
"Well, I was really scared of the security guard" Nino said as she drove. Dara smiled. "Sir Faith is so. Everyone who works there knows that." Nino nodded.
"By the way, do you want to go home first to get changed? You can't be at a press conference wearing that uniform, can you?"
"No. I'm not going home afraid not to go hunting, now I want one o'clock in the afternoon, right? Is there something wrong with my uniform? Anyway, I don't have any nice clothes."
"Ah, no. There's nothing wrong with your uniform. But I'm afraid Rei doesn't like you wearing that shirt at the press conference."
"Leave it if he doesn't like it" said Dara.
Nino's mouth immediately clenched tightly. 'Hhh this bride-to-be couple is really equally stubborn. I don't know how it's going to go ahead.'
🌷🌷🌷
Dara arrived at Rei's management office, where the press conference will be held. The building is a two-story minimalist style with bright orange paint. On one of its walls that protruded forward was a slanted and bold print, Management Robby Entertainment. The parking lot was quite spacious and there was a simple small garden in the middle.
In the lobby of the building, there is a reception desk and some minimalist sofa in the corner facing a plasma TV 32 inc attached to the wall.
"Let's go in Dara!" sahut Nino because Dara's steps suddenly stopped in the doorway. The reception desk was guarded by a brown-haired young woman who was busy taking selfies. The receptionist stopped her activities when she saw Nino and Dara, and the woman's gaze immediately turned to Dara.
"Is that woman Reindra's future wife? Geez, he even looks mediocre. Still looking forward to me" the receptionist said in his heart.
Indeed, since the news spread that Rei was getting married, the women in his office were very curious, what kind of woman would marry Rei. Full of envy they wish women who would marry their dream men were no more beautiful.
"Hello Sheryl ..," Nino said at the reception. Sheryl just smiled stiffly at them while continuing to stare at Dara until it disappeared from her sight.
Nino and Dara head for Mr. Robi's office on the second floor, where Rei is now.
Now that they were already standing in front of the door of the room, Nino knocked on the door before entering.
"Let's go in, Dara" asked Nino after pressing the doorknob and opening.
Dara immediately saw Rei sitting on the sofa, and there was a man in his forty years old sitting behind a large glass table.
The tie-in man immediately stood up to welcome Dara, but Rei remained in position, instead taking out his phone and pretending to be busy with his phone.
Dara entered reluctantly, and she tried to put her friendly smile on the man in the tie.
"Hello, are you Sandara? Introduce me Robi, yes you could say I am Rei's boss," said Mr. Robi kindly while extending a hand.
"Oh, hello. Dara," he said while shaking Mr. Robi's hand.
"Please sit!"
Dara sat down beside Rei who was still pretending to be cool with her phone.
"I heard you're Professor Salim's daughter?"
"Yes, how do you know my father?"
"Of course, because Nino and I are graduates of the University where your father served. He is my idol. I was very surprised when Nino told me about you. Until now I still can't believe Rei will be Professor Salim's son-in-law."
Dara could only respond to Mr. Robi's words with a bland smile. Secretly Rei glanced at Dara, then snorted.
"Well, are you ready?" ask Mr. Robi.
"Already," answered Dara briefly. Rei suddenly cleared his throat and changed his sitting position facing Dara.
"You ready? With clothes like that? God, you want to embarrass me in front of all the reporters?" Rei said cynically.
Nino's throat was choked, he already knew Rei would say that. Dara looked at Rei with a hateful look.
"Why don't you like it? You're still gonna dress like that?" continue Rei. Dara's mouth was tightly clenched, even though her heart was hot to reply to that annoying remark.
"Rei, don't be so rude to women!" exclaimed Mr. Robi reminded, even though he knew Rei would ignore him.
"How much time is left before the show starts?" ask Rei. Nino looked at his watch.
"An hour" answered Nino.
"Please get Miss Agnes here!" said Rei. Nino instead remained silent, he was a little confused, between obeying Rei or appreciating Dara who still wanted to wear the shirt.
"You didn't hear me? Please call Miss Agnes!" rei exclaimed this time full of emphasis. Agnes is a stylist and make up artist at Robby Entertainment Management.
"Alright Rei. I'm down now, don't get mad like that dong!" said Nino annoyed as she passed outside the room. Dara sighed trying to ease the resentment in her chest.
Five minutes later, Nino returned with Agnes. Rei stood up to Agnes and said.
"Please take care of him. Make her a proper woman next to Reindra," Rei said, glancing at Dara, then in a haughty manner, she went outside. After Rei left, then Dara could breathe a sigh of relief.
"Sorry Dara, Rei is like that. It sucks," said Nino while smiling trying to calm down.
"It's okay" said Dara.
"Let's come with me" Agnes took a friendly smile at Dara. Dara nodded then followed Agnes.
"Sir Agnes, make Dara change like a princess" exclaimed Nino before Dara and Agnes disappeared behind the door. Agnes pointed her thumb at Nino.
🌷🌷🌷
With all her abilities, Agnes also use Dara. Actually, Dara always wears thin makeup when going to the office, but Agnes said it was just standard makeup. Now Agnes applied makeup that natural but impressed luxurious, she accentuated the makeup on the eyes of Dara, because she thought Dara's eyes are very good. Dara has asymmetrical eyes, so Agnes uses smookey eyes makeup, according to her it will be more suitable.
Dara's long shoulder-length hair was allowed to unravel, but was made slightly wavy at the bottom.
The makeup is done and the results are great. Dara is completely different from before.
"Perfects!" agnes exclaimed with a smile on the glass, she was completely satisfied with her work, and she was always sure that any woman would look different from makeup, especially Dara was already beautiful from there. Now he believes Rei will pangling if he sees Dara.
Shortly after, Agnes' assistant came to bring clothes from her best friend Agnes's boutique. By looking at it at a glance, Agnes already knows the size of Dara's clothes.sometimes there are a few people who can know the size of someone's clothes just from glancing at the person a little.
Agnes lifted the dress that was still wrapped in plastic. He smiled, this dress will definitely fit Dara.
"Wear this shirt!" Agnes's orders. Dara nodded, stood up to receive the dress, then walked into the dressing room.
Agnes could not wait to see his masterpiece this time, and he was never that big. Ten minutes later Dara came out of the dressing room.
Agnes and her assistant held their breath for a few seconds when they saw Dara standing in front of them.
"Perfect!" exclaim assistant Agnes.
Knee-length black dress with open arms looks fitting once worn Dara. Dara's white skin looks glowing with the dress. With a touch of Swarovski crystals on the neck to the chest makes the dress look luxurious but not excessive.
"Does this suit me?" ask Dara embarrassed. Agnes nodded. He thought it was not Dara who was lucky to get Rei, but Rei who was lucky to get a woman as beautiful as Dara. This only needs a little polish, Dara immediately transformed like an angel.
"Sir Agnes, is it over? The press conference will begin." Suddenly Nino turned her head to Agnes' room.
"It."
Nino turned to look at Dara. "Who is this? God, you're totally different. You're really pretty." Nino flabbergasted in astonishment, the man was completely blown away.
Dara blushed in shame. "Hey, don't overdo it like that. I'm not pretty."
"Hey, I'm serious, you're really pretty. Come with me, Rei's waiting." Nino went out of the room followed by Dara. Dara slightly bowed her body to Agnes before leaving the room.
