The third-month charity event that the Sanjaya family has always held has begun. Jaka could see some of his business associates also attending the event at the invitation of his father.
She and Sarah are approached by Maulana and her son, Debby. Actually Jaka was lazy to meet greet them. If not for his father's insistence, he would never have known Debby who was too spoiled.
"Hello, son Jaka... How are you?",
"Hi.", Debby said hello.
"Good night. I'm doing fine... What about you guys?", Jaka said. Next to her, Sarah hesitated to say hello.
"Oyeah, introduce... This is Sarah, my friend.", Jaka introduced Sarah. Sarah felt her name mentioned, then reached out. But the two men seemed to ignore Sarah's hand. They just raise the glass they hold.
"It's nice to meet you", Debby said hello.
Sarah pulled her hand again. Jaka then pulls Sarah away from the two men.
"They suck. I've never liked doing business with their company...",
"What are they running?", Sarah wondered.
"Franchisee. Debby's son is the only heir. Unfortunately the boy was very spoiled...",
"Haaa. You know him well...",
"Yes, I've dated her a few times...",
Sarah let go of Jaka's hand in her hand.
"You're jealous?", asked Jaka who was shocked by Sarah's rejection.
"No. I'm fine...",
"Aaaah. You're really jealous yeah.", Jaka starts teasing Sarah.
"Stop. I have no right to be jealous",
"Of course you're entitled, sweet.", Jaka kissed Sarah's lips at a glance. Sarah did not refuse.
"Stop. People were looking here", Sarah glared at Jaka. Jaka threw his best smile. He did not want his girlfriend to be angry.

Mr. Ismail and his wife went to the guests. As usual, Madam Ningsih's makeup looks simple but elegant. Her smiling face made her beauty shine. Beside him, there was Mr. Ismail in a black suit paired with a white bow tie.
Mr. Ismail opened the event by giving a speech as necessary. At this event, the donations they collect will be directly distributed to several orphanages and nursing homes scattered in the city.
Charity is just the opening. Usually, events like this will be continued by talking about business and finding new colleagues. This activity benefits many parties. Mr. Ismail only prepared the place because he also likes to gather with his business colleagues.
The show has been running for less than an hour. Jaka has also given her donations. He is with Paul and Esmeralda.
Esmeralda itself is the founder of the largest inter-messaging service in Indonesia. It turns out that the woman still remembers Paul who was her Classmate when High School used to be.
Sarah leaves Jaka to get some drinking water. As he was about to take the last glass that a servant brought, his hand came into contact with the hand of a woman.
"Ah, sorry.", Sarah pulled her hand.
"Oh, no. Please take... Uh, you're that woman.", you...",
"Woman, what?", asked Sarah puzzled. That's when he realized that the woman he was talking to was Citra Sanjaya.
"Mother Citra... Ah, sorry... I don't see...",
"It's okay... I'm deluan ya.".", The woman moved on. She approached her husband, whom Sarah knew as the biggest wine businessman in Indonesia. His collection was featured in Newz magazine. Big business magazine in Southeast Asia.
Sarah was still looking at the two men, as she was shocked by someone holding her hand.
"Sir Jaka... I didn't see you coming.", though...",
"You met Citra? I haven't even greeted him yet", though...",
"He is so... How about we go see your father and mother?", Jaka offered. Sarah did not mind, because their view on Sarah at her last meeting was quite good.
The two of them passed through several guests and business associates to be able to get to where the master and great mistress Sanjaya were.
"I think I should go to the toilet first, sir... Could it be?", Sarah was feeling a bit nervous.
"Well, I'll be here.", please...",
Sarah's in a hurry. He did not want Jaka to wait too long.

Mr. Ismail called Jaka to approach him.
Jaka was already standing next to Madam Ningsih. He kissed his mother's cheek at a glance.
"How are you, son...",
"I'm good, ma'am... Jaka wants to announce something if I can...",
"But yourfather... Talk to him later on...",
Mr. Ismail picked up the mic that had been provided earlier. He wants to make an announcement.
"I am very happy with the arrival of all my colleagues... In addition to the event that we have just finished, I as the host want to make a happy announcement about the youngest son of the Sanjaya family... Jaka Sanjaya.", Mr. Ismail embraces his son's shoulder.
Jaka is a bit confused. He hasn't even said. Sarah is not back either.
"With a feeling of happiness, we announce the matchmaking of Jaka Sanjaya, my own son, with the daughter of my colleague... They have also met several times. Please come here to Debby Maulana...",
She was shocked by what she had just heard. He was not sure what his father said.
"What is this, sir?" Jaka tried to calm down. He saw Debby approaching them. People did not stop applauding.
Paul who was also startled by the announcement approached his boss who looked a bit tense.
"Sir, are you okay?",
"Paul, drive Sarah home by the side. He's going to the toilet. Don't let him hear anything!", Jaka's orders are very clear "Let me see him".
"Take care of your emotions, sir.", Paul reminded.
Paul immediately did what Jaka told him to do.
Just as he reached the toilet, the door opened and Sarah came out.
"Eh, Paul... Why so many?",
"Eitherway. They play silly games. I'll take you home, it's been quite a night...",
"Ba..how about Mr. Jaka? I didn't go home with her?",
"Sir Jaka is talking to his mother. Looks like something important. I just can't listen", Paul's looking for an excuse.
"Oh, okay.", Sarah can only follow in Paul's footsteps because the man is holding her hand.
Hopefully Mr. Jaka doesn't start a fuss...
Paul could only hope.
