Mirror reflection

"Ra .. meet, this is Bella. He's my cousin, too."

I extended a hand. Introducing myself to the beautiful woman who came along with Tian. Luckily, Bella welcomed me well, unlike the girl I knew named Silvana. The girl who had been staring at me with a cynical look. For some reason it seems like Silvana doesn't like my presence between them.

Does this have anything to do with Raffi?

Yeah, it seems like it.

But I didn't care, I ignored her cynical gaze and just acted ordinary, as if I thought it was not among us. And that certainly made that woman look even more annoyed at me.

This time it was Bella's turn to introduce Tian to all of us, the woman said if Tian was her friend, a friend who might soon change her status to a boyfriend. It's probable.

Tian and I shook hands as usual, but there was something that made me immediately pull my own hand away when the man never let go of me. Even with Raffi, I have not lost my surprise because of Tian, now I am again made dumbfounded when Raffi introduces me as his lover in front of everyone.

"Sorry .. You don't get angry?" Raffi's whisper is right next to my ear. Maybe the guy knew I was surprised. "Later I'll be clear with you." He said again with a face full of regret.

Seeing Raffi's face like that certainly makes me unable to get angry, my head hurriedly nodded while throwing a thin smile.

"But it's true, if you're going to be my lover?" I saw Raffi smiling ignorantly. And I can only hiss while twisting my two eyeballs.

"He's your girlfriend?"

It was not Silvana who asked, but a middle-aged man who had just come to us all.

"Mr ..." Raffi Seru.

"Who is he?" Ask the middle-aged man. Staring at me with a slight look made me feel uncomfortable.

"Pa, this is Nayara. He---" Raffi's voice was restrained when his father suddenly just called out someone's name.

"Silvanna.!"

"Yes, Om." I saw the woman approaching with a big smile. Then, without looking at Raffi and me, his father was having a warm conversation with Silvana, not to forget that the man also took the time to talk with Bella and Tian. A couple that looks so good tonight. I saw a big smile adorning those thick slightly moustached lips while with Silvana, Bella and Tian. But not to me and Raffi.

Repeatedly Raffi apologized to me, the man felt guilty for the attitude of his father who seemed to dislike my presence tonight. I just smiled, gesturing to Raffi that I was okay. Although I really wanted to leave right then and there. Avoiding annoying people like them.

After a long time in a situation that made me feel uncomfortable, I was finally able to breathe a little relieved when Papa Raffi left us. But after that, I saw someone coming back to Raffi, asking Raffi to come with him. Raffi asked for permission, and I nodded. Letting the man go with Silvana who was also with them.

Now, there's only me, Bella and Tian.

I chose to retreat, separating from the two of them while Bella was chatting with some of the other invited guests.

"Are you okay?"

I turned my head, and was surprised when I saw Tian already standing beside me.

"Why are you here, Mom?" I ketus.

"Would you like something to drink?"

"No. Thank you." Thank you." Reject me.

"You're all right, right?" It didn't take long for me to understand why Tian was repeating the same question again. The man probably knew that I felt uncomfortable being in this place because of Papa Raffi's unfriendly attitude towards me.

"I'm good, even very good." My words lied.

Although I didn't see it, I know that Tian is looking at me right now. "Why are you here, my friend? shouldn't you be there?" I looked at the group of beautiful women who were laughing not far from the two of us. Where there is Bella, the woman who came with Tian.

Tian looked at Bella before the man looked back at me. "I'd better be here."

"You mean?" Instantly I turned my head, looking at Tian at this moment.

"It's okay, if I accompany you here.?"

I glanced sharply, "As far as you are, Mas. But sorry, I have to go to the bathroom now." As soon as I turned around, whether intentionally or not, suddenly Silvana was in front of me, we both had a chance to collide before the glass in his hand fell, it made a sound loud enough to attract everyone a little, not to forget the liquid was also watering the dress that I was wearing at this time. Making the front of my dress partially wet.

"Oh my goodness ..." The woman screamed in shock. "Sory, I didn't accidentally." He said with a contrite face.

"Are you okay?" Suddenly Tian was next to me. I had a quick look at her, then looked at Bella who was looking at me and Tian was suspicious.

My head shook, before I went to the bathroom, I took the time to look at the damn woman. There was no longer a look of regret on his haughty face, instead I saw the woman smiling at me.

God damnit.!

As soon as I entered the bathroom, I immediately cleaned the stain on my shirt using a little water.

"Because of me, your clothes got wet, right?"

I looked up, looking at Silvana in the mirror reflection. The woman was standing while crossing her arms in front of her chest and leaning her body against the wall.

"You were intentional, right?" Tanyanku cynical.

"What looks so good?" I'd love to smear that shitty face.

"Stay away from Raffi." The woman approached, we both threw dislike gazes at each other in the reflection of the mirror.

I turned around, looking at the woman who was now standing not far from me.

"Why should I stay away from Raffi?"

"Gue knows who you are." I saw the side of her lips pulled up. "Lo works at a nightclub, right?"

"Yes, I'm a DJ. Is something wrong?"

"Lo and Raffi are different."

"Then?" I ask no less fierce.

"And you're a widow, right?"

I kept quiet, looking at the woman in disbelief. How could Silvana know my origins so quickly? has my closeness with Raffi been known to many people?

"Why silence? you're a widow, right?"

I took a deep breath to make sure I didn't see the emotion in front of the woman. Then I smiled while nodding. I told you the truth, I admit that I am a widow. And that made Silvana laugh in mockery.

Not wanting to serve such a crazy woman, I chose to get out of the bathroom. It's better now that I'm gone than to keep listening to something that makes my ears hurt.

"Basic cheesy!"

"A widow like you doesn't deserve Raffi."

"What would his family say, if a man like Raffi gets someone else's ex?"

That woman's enough to make me no longer in control. I turned around, looking at Silvana intently.

"Now I doubt if you're an educated woman?" I approached, saying that line while smiling faintly. "Did your parents never teach you how to speak well with others?"

"Get your mouth, lo.!"

I saw both of Silvana's hands clenched tightly at the side, even with the glint of her eyes full of anger.

Without waiting for long, I decided to leave. Leaving Silvana to find Raffi. But before I actually left from there, I was so shocked that Silvana suddenly just pulled my hand violently. The woman almost threw a slap at me if only someone hadn't stopped her.

"Never dare you touch her.!"
