Elvira gave a smile as usual if she met Meisya even though she knew she would never get a similar reply.
“You are here?” asked Meisya who was quite surprised by his presence.
“Iya, Ma.”
“Don't say you were just here to want to appear in the media, as the event today a lot of journalists,” accuse Meisya sounding boos.
While Anya who also saw Meisya's treatment of her own daughter-in-law was only silent while occasionally smiling cynically, she always felt happy to see Elvira getting similar treatment from Meisya who was never friendly to her.
“It's not like that, Ma. I know this event is very important for Mama, I came to see how lively and amazing this event is. I'm sorry I haven't seen Mama because I think Mama must be very busy.”
“No need for many reasons! Your presence will not change anything. It's different if you can bring my son-Daffin back to me!” concluded Meisya, then he felt he had to immediately turn away from his daughter-in-law.
But unexpectedly Meisya it turns out that currently many journalists from various media are rushing to him because they feel interested in covering Meisya together with his daughter-in-law.
They immediately approached, took pictures and just threw a simple question about today's event.
Feeling being noticed, Meisya grabbed Elvira's hand and acted like an in-law who had a very harmonious relationship with the son-in-law. While Elvira follows the play created by Meisya, she also now smiles kindly to Meisya.
Although feeling uncomfortable, Meisya must still do it because to maintain a good image of himself that has been difficult to build.
While Anya who must now be eliminated from the togetherness of the two, making it hot cold themselves see their play. Although he knew that it was only a play to beautify Meisya's self-image in public, but it felt Anya still felt unacceptable because at this time it was clearly created differences in their social status. This made his hatred of Elvira even more passionate.
Anya did not understand and hated why she had to feel so envious of what Elvira had in her life. Already the love of Daffin that he can not have, the status that Elvira also can not get.
Thinking about how upset he was at the moment made him look riled up on his own and a sense of disappointment towards his own fate could not be hidden from the look on his face.
After finishing with the reporters, the smile as bright as Meisya's face instantly vanished as she looked back at Elvira.
“It is not your presence that gives me a good image. But, my existence aligns itself with you which makes you get the attention of people. Never forget who you are and where you come from, you are nobody without the surname Arkatama.”
Again Meisya's words sounded very piercing as if able to hit the heart of Elvira who heard it directly with a tone full of ridicule.
He could only spread a smile to his mother-in-law as usual just to cover her scratched heart.
“Iya, Mother. Thank you for wanting to do this for me,” Elvira said.
Meisya immediately left her, who was soon followed by Anya. While Elvira who was still controlling her feelings suddenly found the spotlight from a pair of eyes in the distance that were currently looking at her with love and pride.
Asty, though, could only look at her sister from a distance, but he was already very happy because since then he noticed from a distance Elvira who appeared together with the in-laws and looked very harmonious when conducting interviews in front of the media.
Without Asty knowing at this time Elvira trying to keep looking okay. The position that he had once dreamed of now made him feel tired to bear it.
How not, the social status created in between with his own family makes Asty seem to have a very high guardrail to be able to reach Elvira.
Elvira recalled her phone, she immediately grabbed it from her expensive tote bag and found a message her office had sent. A phone number of the person Elvira asked for.
He immediately called the phone number and got an answer after sounding the tone several times.
“Halo.” Gio's voice greeted.
“This is me,” said Elvira whose voice was instantly recognized by Gio.
They then chatted briefly on the phone and planned a meeting today.
...----------------...
After getting permission from Dewanti to leave the event early, Elvira arrives in front of a simple food place according to instructions from Gio.
He felt it was fine to go to a place like this, certainly in this location Elvira may feel more protected privacy because it could be dangerous if someone who knows her sees her meeting a man.
Just now Elvira solved the problem of misunderstanding that occurred and luckily Dewanti still believes it, however, at this time she feels she does not want to look close to any man let alone her husband just died.
Gio who saw the arrival of Elvira who had now passed the entrance of the place waved his hand from a distance.
Elvira raised her gaze briefly around this place, in front of her there were now several arrangements of tables and chairs that were not much.
The place is quite comfortable and interesting, not noisy because there are currently only a few visitors consisting of two pairs of young men and women and two men who seem to enjoy their food.
Elvira immediately approached Gio and sat across the table opposite to him.
“You want to order something? Because you asked me to choose our meeting place, then I prefer to go here,” said Gio who was still fun while enjoying the food.
“It's okay,” said Elvira briefly, then she put her bag on the table.
From the direction of the kitchen area, two people were looking at them.
“Bu, that's Mas Gio's friend huh? Very beautiful yes, try to see me deh,” said a young woman to a middle-aged woman who now looks busy beside her.
“Maybe. Yes, I just saw her coming here.”
“Yeah, this is not a human, but more to the angel spec, Mom. Just look at her skin looks so smooth, her hair is beautifully smoothed. The clothes are also very nice and seem very expensive.” The woman continued to look at him in amazement.
The woman yelled and excitedly approached Elvira. He was amazed many times when he got a smile from Elvira.
“Excuse me, want to order something?” his question to Elvira sounded groggy because he saw the beauty of Elvira up close.
Gio glanced at Elvira as he said, “What is certain is that there is no menu of five-star restaurants.”
“Tea warm sweet,” Elvira said.
“Yeah, beautiful Neng likes to drink tea huh?” asked the woman again innocently, Elvira assented just by nodding.
“Two food?”
“No, I order a drink only.”
“Alright, wait a minute ya.” The woman Elvira did not know her name immediately covered towards the kitchen.
“So, you know Anya and want to ask for my help to meet her?” ask Elvira.
“Iya.”
Elvira looked at him in full detail. “Indeed why are you having trouble meeting him? Maybe you guys have some kind of close relationship?”
“I really wanted to see my sister because she did not want to answer the phone for a few days from me,” said Gio.
“You mean? Brother?” Elvira wonder.
Apparently he had wrongly guessed, he thought Anya had a lover.
“What do you think? She's Anya Giani Saraswati, my only sister.” Gio gave a more detailed explanation.
“Wait, wait.” Elvira then thinks of something, if Anya is the younger sister of Gio.
He came to the conclusion that the two of them were children of Rani's mother. What kind of reality is this, Elvira is really not out of thought with the destiny that has brought them closer.
If it is like this, how will he be able to reveal what Anya has done to him while he knows Rani well and has great respect for the woman.
The thing that makes Elvira more inexhaustible is how a good woman like Rani can have a daughter like Anya.
“Excuse.”
A woman came to interrupt him with a glass of warm tea at Elvira's request and he placed it right in front of Elvira, then left again.
Elvira who grumbled in her heart while daydreaming now her hand had grabbed the handle of the glass glass and immediately drank it, instead of to calm her feelings.
But the next second when his lips had touched the drink, he immediately gasped after feeling the hot water made his tongue feel numb in an instant.
After putting the glass back, Elvira hurriedly took Gio's iced orange drink to ease the effects of the hot water on her tongue.
“What did he give?!” peekik Elvira annoyed.
While Gio seemed to refrain from laughing at Elvira's behavior like that which clearly removed the look of arrogance on her beautiful face.
Meanwhile, in the kitchen, the mother who is the owner of the dining area rebuked her daughter regarding the drink she had made.
“Loh, hot tea Mother who has made here where was it?” he asked when he found only a glass of warm tea.
“Hah? Geez! That means I gave it to his friend mas Gio,” he said look panicked.
“How the hell are you? How can I exchange?”
“Yes, I saw there were two cups of tea, I think both are warm tea.”
“You are! Didn't it get checked first? Why so careless. Quickly apologize there!” the mother's orders.
“But Mom, I'm scared. What if he's gonna scold me?”
“That's your risk, hurry there!”
The innocent woman immediately rushed over to Elvira.
“Sorry yes, Neng. I accidentally gave her a drink glass wrong. Sorry yeah. I was very careless, I should have made sure first,” he said full of regrets.
“Ya already, it's okay,” said Elvira who has a heart.
“Sorry yes, then I will make a new one.” The woman immediately took Elvira's drink and brought her back to the kitchen.
Without them knowing it turns out that from earlier there were two pairs of eyes that were paying attention to Elvira from their table located in the corner.
