Soraya

A woman appears busy struggling in front of the papers that currently fill her desk. Drawing equipment such as colored pencils, crayons, colorful watercolors, brushes, and others appear scattered on the large workbench that he usually uses for meetings with his members.

The woman sighed many times while scratching a colorful pencil into each sketch of the dress she had drawn. He meticulously added details to the dresses he had designed over the past year.

The woman immediately picked up her phone as her phone rang for the umpteenth time. He gave up and chose to answer the call after dozens of times letting his phone ring.

"Hello" replied the woman with a soft voice.

"Soraya," said the caller, sounding happy that his call was finally answered.

"Hi, Mary," said the woman named Soraya.

"How does the work progress for your single show? Three months left, will it be hunted?" mary sounded worried.

Soraya breathed a heavy sigh.

"Are you still constrained by the funds problem?" ask Mary.

Soraya could only be silent, at this time he was constrained by the problem of funding because of the lack of sponsorship to fund his fashion show.

Being a designer was Soraya's dream but Soraya's parents did not support her big dream. Soraya's idealism is so high, he wants the show to be successful thanks to his own efforts without the need for interference from others. So it took a long time for Soraya to realize her dream. Soraya wants to achieve her dreams with her own ability to prove to her parents that she is not playing around in fighting for her dreams.

"Have you submitted a proposal to all your acquaintances?" ask Mary.

"Already, but I doubt it, Mary," answered Soraya.

"What do you mean?" ask Mary again.

"I got an answer from one of the sponsors, but I doubt whether to cooperate or not," Soraya replied still with doubts that sounded clear from her tone.

"Soraya, please don't make me curious like that" Mary complained.

"Voren Lazaro is willing to give me a sponsor, Mary," Soraya said.

"Oh," Mary chuckled before finally laughing.

"Mary, is there anything funny?" ask Soraya.

"Geez, that guy again," Mary still laughed.

Soraya rolled her eyeballs. He knew the reason why Mary laughed so hard every time she heard the name Voren Lazaro.

"Well, it's great that the man wants to be your sponsor, Soraya, so that your clothes will be realized immediately in accordance with the plan you have compiled," said Mary.

"Only, I was hesitant because Voren asked me to make a show in the city where he lived, he also asked me to open a boutique there, a deal he gave like that," Soraya said.

"Are you afraid that Voren is still hoping for you?" ask Mary full of questions.

Soraya did not answer.

"Soraya, have you heard that Voren Lazaro is married?" ask Mary again.

"Yes, I heard the news" answered Soraya.

"Soraya, hasn't making this single show been your dream for a long time, and you've been focusing on it for the last three years? This is a golden opportunity for you, Soraya!" mary tried to convince Soraya.

Soraya seemed to think hard while making abstract scribbles on a blank sheet of paper. What Mary said is true. The opportunity to get the main sponsor for the implementation of the solo fashion show Soraya is in sight. Soraya certainly has to be professional to put aside the past between him and Voren. A past that should not affect Soraya's dreams.

Soraya tried not to tense up as she got down from a car that drove her to a fancy restaurant in the hills. He immediately stepped into an open-air concept restaurant surrounded by lush trees.

"Good day, Soraya," said Doni who immediately welcomed Soraya's arrival.

"Doni," Soraya was stunned to see Doni's presence.

Doni looks handsome in a light grey suit. Doni commented on his friendly smile, he really did not expect to see Soraya again after a long time they never met. This impromptu reunion was created because Soraya agreed to cooperate with Mr. Voren in order to become a sponsor for a single fashion show that was planned to be held in the next two months in accordance with the the proposal that Soraya submitted.

"I really didn't expect that you were still working for Voren" Soraya said as she walked down the seemingly deserted restaurant corridor.

"Thank you for your praise, Soraya," said Doni.

Doni immediately invited Soraya to sit on a chair behind a round table that presented a view of the green valley. Although during the day but lush trees make the air feel so cool.

Soraya immediately sat in her chair, her eyes staring at the figure of the man she had not seen in the past seven years. For Soraya, Voren had not experienced any significant changes at all. The man still looks handsome and luxurious.

Soraya extended her smile towards the man who was currently sitting with his hands folded in front of his chest and leaning against the back of the chair.

"Voren, it's been a long time since we met" Soraya said.

"I think this year is the seventh year" Voren responded to Soraya's words.

Soraya kept her smile.

"Thank you for being ready to see me, Voren," Soraya said.

"Yes, I'm glad you're willing to meet me even though you've always chosen to avoid me" Voren commented.

Soraya stiffened at Voren's words, but she kept smiling because this man was really good at making her feel guilty.

"Voren, I'm really grateful that you're willing to be a sponsor for my solo fashion show" Soraya said.

"Yes, I'm glad to be able to help make one of your dreams, Soraya, come true" Voren said.

The waiter immediately came and served the food on the table.

While Voren still can not be separated staring at the woman who always makes his heart captive. Soraya still looks beautiful though not the same as fifteen years ago. 

Soraya has straight, soft, and beautifully shaved black hair, which contrasts with her milky white skin. Soraya has an oval face shape, a pair of beautiful sparkling eyes, a sharp nose, and her lips are polished soft pink hue lips. Soraya was wearing a sleeveless black dress, looking perfect on her slender body with a height of 168 cm. 

His charming smile makes Voren can not be separated to look at the woman who has made him fall in love and bring away all the love he has for fifteen years.

And until this moment, Voren still loves Soraya.
