"I warn you not to act anymore. Don't get close to Miss Kiara. Just so you know, Mr. Adiraka is mad at me. It's all because of you!”
\_\_\_\_\_\*\*\*\_\_\_\_\_\_
Evan's words continued to echo in Rio's ears. Since morning Evan has been warning Rio to stay away from Kiara. I don't know how many times Evan said that sentence to Rio. Rio was surprised if Evan did not get tired of warning him so many times?
Rio's not deaf. His hearing is still normal. What Evan said, he understood. However, Rio could not control the will of his heart. His brain was willing to stay away from Kiara, but not with his heart.
Ever since he first met Kiara, Rio had already fallen in love with Kiara. During this time Rio is famous as a player of love who easily change women without a binding relationship status. But this became different when Rio met Kiara. His heart is already adrift. There was only the name Kiara in his heart and Rio was unwilling to turn around with the others.
“Boy..!” Evan patted Rio on the shoulder. Evan needs to remind his best friend.
“I understand. Stop reminding me and quickly start the party” said Rio annoyed.
The night was getting late, guests were already starting to arrive. Evan should immediately start his birthday event instead of constantly following Rio, said Rio in his heart.
Rio stepped out leaving Evan. If Rio remained motionless, it was certain that Evan would not start his show. Rio chose to be in the place of Evan's birthday band. At least he was free from Evan and began to be busy playing piano keys. Rio asked the piano player to leave because Rio was going to play his piano.
Rio's fingers started dancing agilely on the piano keys. Without being asked to accompany Rio playing the song Set fire to the rain owned by Adele, Rio's favorite singer. Evan took a long breath.
“Why doesn't Rio play happy birthday songs? She thinks this is her show?” grunts Evan.
Evan moved from where he stood. He immediately met the invited guests who began to arrive. Evan greeted them kindly and kindly. Sometimes Evan chatted for a while with his guests and then moved to meet other invited guests.
Yes, the name Evan Scandz is no stranger to the world of NY entertainment. She was named the number one designer in NY. So do not be surprised if the invited guests who come are very many and also not just anyone.
“Mr Evan, Happy birthday” someone patted Evan on the shoulder. He was stunned to see the figure who was now standing in front of him with a sweet smile.
Kiara comes with Olive who is representing Evan to be his stylist. Kiara appeared very graceful with a navy dress with a sabrina sleeve. The dress is full of gliters so it looks beautiful if worn at night with dim lights.
Olive grappled Kiara's hair with a slight mess. Not to forget with some children's hair that is left loose so that it adds an elegant impression to the appearance of Kiara. Olive also rubs makeup upminimalis on Kiara's face so that it shows natural beauty on her face.
“Hmm. The work is very good” Inner Evan who seems very satisfied with the work of his men.
“Mr Evan, this is a gift from me" Kiara said politely.
Evan receives a matching colored box parcel in Kiara's dress. Whether intentionally or not. Kiara really did look stunning tonight. Evan happily thanked Kiara and did not forget to give a thumbs up and wink at Olive.
Evan took Kiara on a walk to meet the other guests. The few guests they passed by were of course amazed, as if hypnotized by the figure beside Evan.
Evan does not stay silent, he happily introduces Kiara as his boss to his invited guests despite Kiara nudging him several times to keep quiet.
“Nona Kiara, is it just coming with Olive?" ask Evan.
“Yes, of course with Olive and my driver" Kiara said.
“Master Adiraka didn't come?" ask Evan again.
“No, Kadir is in a meeting. Wh why? You missed her?" kiara Goda.
“Ah no, because usually Mr. Adiraka is always present every year" said Evan.
“Maybe he'll catch up with me here. I don't know, today I haven't met him" Kiara said.
Kiara turned her body. He stepped slowly in search of Olive's whereabouts. But his foot movements stopped when someone pulled his hand.
“Kiara...!!! Where to?” ask Rio.
Actually Rio was just a pleasantries. Deep down she wants to say that Kiara is very beautiful tonight. But somehow his tongue was stiff and only that stupid question he said. Rio did not take off his hand. It was like there was a stream of electricity flowing in his pulse.
“I'm looking for Olive, did you see her?” ask Kiara.
Rio just shook his head. Rio was about to take Kiara
leaving Evan's show. But he lost fast. Evan calls Kiara and asks her to go on stage as his respect for Kiara.
Kiara invites Rio to approach Evan. Finally Kiara and Rio stood beside Evan. Evan glared at Rio, but Rio remained indifferent. He even closer his body to Kiara.
The band members began to play the melody of the happy birthday song. All the guests sang while clapping. After the song is over, Evan makes a wish and blows out the candles.
Applause sounded again. Evan cuts his first cake and gives it to Kiara. Kiara just smiled and as Evan and Kiara were about to hug, Rio quickly stood in their midst.
“Kue for me where?” rio asked innocently.
“Take it yourself!” evan ketus.
The band is back to playing a romantic song. The dance party begins. Apparently this time Rio lost fast. Evan pulls Kiara's hand and invites her down. Rio snorted annoyedly seeing Evan and Kiara dancing.
Evan is actually trying to keep Kiara away from Rio because he does not want Adiraka to scold him again. It was better to see the employee grumbling every day than to get a tantrum from his big boss.
Guests began to enter the dance area. Rio was just staring breathlessly at them without intending to join in. Rio stepped over to the band players and whispered something.
Instantly the slow music turned into a little upbeat. Marathon dance. Their dance partner will change every ten steps. Rio joined the dance area. He took a step so that the next step would be to dance with Kiara.
Hupph....
on time, Kiara and Rio are now in a pair. The music again becomes slow sign that the marathon dance is over.
Kiara scrunched her forehead. He seems to know the song. This song was performed by someone who knows who, Kiara had forgotten. Kiara only remembers the title of the song, best friend so love belongs to Zigaz band.
“Why play this song? Does Evan know this song too? Is this NY not Indonesia? Or maybe the song went international and I don't know?” ask Kiara inwardly.
Kiara kept wondering in her heart. He did not notice Rio face that had been staring at him full of taste. The two chocolate beads did not stop staring at the face before him. The dance area lights are getting dimmer. Rio with a heart full of romance advanced his face and...
Cupp...
Rio's kiss is missing. Intention heart wants me lu mat Kiara's lips. But what power Kiara moves fast. Kiara crossed her hands, closing Rio's lips. Fortunately Kiara quickly regained consciousness. Rio was shocked by Kiara's reaction. His face was flushed red, between embarrassment and disappointment, Rio was silent.
Suddenly the lights went off. Someone pulled Kiara's body and smothered her mouth. Rio sensed Kiara was not in front of him. Rio shouted calling Kiara's name. He was trying to walk in the dark. A few minutes later the lights were on and it was true that Kiara was no longer in front of her.
