"Yes, sorry." Haura wrapped her right hand around Adam's large, muscular left arm. It felt really stifling, having to pretend everything was okay. I have to pretend to be a happy wife.
"Don't forget to smile" Adam whispered as they entered the party hall. Haura tried to pull her lips, holding back a cry.
Various circles of rich people, Ray and Adam's business associates were already in that place. Some are enjoying food, some are talking to important clients.
"Eh, honey.. Here sit with Mama," take Medina directly to bring Haura to their family's dining table.
"Darling, I'd like to say hello to the client. You're not papa here with Mama? "pamit Adam pretends to care. So great acting Adam. Like a professional actor who used to play his plays. Perfect without reproach, making his mother easily fooled by his scenario.
"I-iya Mas," Haura replied imposing her smile. It's so uncomfortable to be in such a crowded place. Moreover, only her husband and in-laws were known to her.
Medina was talking to Ray's co-worker's wife. Haura became a little bored, no one else she knew. He looked around, looking at the guests who seemed to be mostly from the bourgeoisie. Of course all the VVIP guests that no one Haura knew.
"Ma, take Rara's bag? Rara wanted to take a drink for a while" said Haura because she was thirsty.
"Need to be with my dear mama?" ask Medina gently. She knew her daughter-in-law had never attended such a party. He was just a little worried about his daughter-in-law.
"No need Ma. Let Rara go alone." Haura commented a smile to her in-laws.
"Yes already. There, baby. Hurry back." Haura nodded in understanding.
He stood up and intended to drink. He walked here and there looking for a place to get food and drinks. Finally after a few minutes of walking, Haura found the place.
He immediately took a glass and filled it with a drink. Not to forget he filled his plate with a little food.
Near Haura stood, there were a few men talking with laughter. One of them was quite handsome, with his shirt light blue. The man was a new employee, but he was easy to get along with. I only worked for a few days at the company. He already has many close friends.
Accidentally, the man turned his head towards where Haura was standing. The man sharpened his eyesight, afraid that he might see wrong. But after he really noticed. He was sure that there was no one wrong, the woman standing a few meters in front of him was the one he had been trying to forget for half a year. The woman who had filled her days with beautiful memories full of meaning.
"Mara ...." The person called looks.
"Eh, Vian ...." Haura's originally flat face turned cramped.
Alvian stood up from his seat and quickly approached his former lover.
"Oh my God, it is true. It's you Ra, I think it's the wrong guy. I didn't think we could meet again in this place" Alvian said happily.
"Vian, how are you?" Haura's originally wry face now smiled widely.
"Good Ra. You alone? You must be more than okay. How did you get to this party?" ask Alvian curiously.
"Ep.. That, I came here with my husband, Mas Adam."
"What's? So Mr Adam is your husband? The world is so narrow. Lucky for you, Ra? Mr. Adam is a good boss. He must be a good and perfect husband for you too" said Alvian, laughing blandly. There was a bit of pain in knowing Haura's husband was superior to her in every way. Haura deserved to choose a more established Adam compared to her. Haura was silent for a moment and did not answer Alvian's words.
"Allowed Ra? You must be living happily now. "
"Yes Vian. Why are you attending this event?" haura asked to shift the conversation, covering up the real reality.
"Yes Ra. Now I work for Mr. Ray's company. I'm subordinate to your husband Ra." said Alvian with a stifling taste.
"The world is really narrow, isn't it Ra? The woman I wanted to forget these past six months, was now standing before me. Under the circumstances, I can't do anything to get it. The woman now belongs to someone else."
"What the hell is Vian. Let's just forget everything. We remain friends. Like old times. And there will be other women who are more deserving of being with you someday."
They both joke and talk. Sharing stories after six months of not seeing each other. Both of them laughed without paying attention to the situation around again. Haura also forgot her desire to drink.
Adam who finished talking with his client is now looking for the whereabouts of his wife. When he saw Haura looking happy and able to laugh loosely, Adam's heart was pinched. Either jealous or how, because in fact he has not felt the vibration of love. I don't know, or is it Adam's heart that denies that love.
"Basar village woman! Just been left for a while already daring to tease foreign men."
"Rome! Why are you here?" adam asked in a cold voice. Unable to see their laughter, he immediately approached his wife who was busy talking to Alvian.
"This is Mas, Rara was looking for a drink. Accidentally meeting Vian," Haura replied with a happy smile.
"So you know each other?" adam asked suspiciously.
"Yes Sir. Rara and I used to be a village. I'm so happy to see him, because I haven't seen him in a long time." Hearing Alvian call his wife 'Rara' makes Adam heat up. That meant that the young and handsome man standing before him was quite close to his wife.
"Mas, Alvian was Rara's best friend from childhood. We grew up together as close friends. Isn't that Vian?" Haura laughed considering their beautiful togetherness. It made Adam jealous.
"So wry, now laugh with another man." Adam's mind was getting upset.
"Yes, we're back at our table, baby." Adam grabbed Haura's shoulder. It was as if declaring that Haura was his. And warned Alvian to stay away.
"I-iya Mas." Haura. Seeing Adam's dislike expression, she was sure that her husband's mood was not good.
" Vian, I have to go, forgive us. We have to get back to our table there. Next time we connect again, yes Vian," said Haura as if not willing to end his conversation with Alvian.
"Yes, not papa Ra. "
"We go first. "
"Ah, yes Sir. Please," said Alvian a little disappointed, he had to part with Haura again.
"R.. How lucky you are. Another case with me who until now has not been able to forget you." The handsome man looked at the back of Haura who was moving away unharmed.
