Mr. Daus' birthday party was only attended by some close relatives and friends of Mr. Daus. The event is not a luxurious and lively party with colorful balloon decorations or entertained by birthday clowns. Just a regular dinner that starts with a prayer.
Verda waited for Vedra who had not yet returned from the toilet. I don't know which toilet the man visited.
"Sister, find Jehun kw?" ask Vivie who can read Verda's gelagat.
"Vie," Verda glared.
"So I met him, sister, but he seems too shy to join here" Vivie said.
"I think I should pick her up" Verda said.
"Sister, don't spoil the mood!" prevent Vivie.
"Vie, what do you mean?" ask Verda.
"If you bring Jehun to come and meet Abim, according to you, what will happen next?" Vivie asked back.
"'Look! I'm even so busy with Abim!"
Verda glared in anger.
"Then I'd better just go" Verda said.
"Sister! Jehun kw super it's not going anywhere, he already said will wait Brother!" prevent Vivie.
"But, Vie," Verda complained.
"Sister! Why did you take him? I knew I wouldn't like it!" hatch Vivie.
"Vie, who knows, you changed your mind" Verda said.
"Sister, is Jehun treating you well?" ask Vivie.
"Vie, my husband is a really nice guy" Verda replied.
"Sister, do you really love Jehun?" ask Vivie.
Verda was speechless, he did not immediately answer Vivie's question. At the moment his feelings for Vedra are very uncertain. But now Verda also wants their relationship can get approval from her father.
"Vie, right now the most important thing for me is that I'm married, and I don't want to refer to Abim!" sahut Verda firmly.
Abim was still talking with Mr. Daus and some of his closest relatives who welcomed Abim's desire to rejoin Verda. Abim really tried hard to get back the support of Mr. Daus' relatives.
Verda immediately approached Abim.
"Abim, can we talk for a second?" ask Verda.
"All right" replied Abim. "Sir, if you'll excuse me for a moment, you'll talk to Verda, '" Abim said goodbye.
"Please" said Mr. Daus, commenting on a friendly smile.
Abim immediately followed Verda, they headed to the backyard of the restaurant.
"Abim, there's something I need to tell you about the reference request. Honestly, I don't want to go back to you" Verda said.
Abim was silent, his eyes still fixed on Verda who was looking at him coldly.
"Verda, your parents, even your extended family, have agreed to this" Abim said.
"Abim, the one who has power over my life is me! I don't want to refer to you! Our relationship ended fifteen years ago!" verda said firmly.
"Verda, we can repair our relationship! Start it all over again and I promise, I won't repeat my mistakes! We were both so young, Verda! I realized that I was wrong to obey my ego too much and ignore what you want!" said Abim.
"I am still immature, can not think wisely, and certainly still put forward emotions alone," continued Abim.
"Abim, I'm not willing to refer you!" tukas Verda's.
"'Why don't you want to talk to me, Verda?" ask Abim.
"Have I not apologized to you and promised not to make the same mistake? What else do I have to prove for you to accept my sincerity?" ask Abim.
"I even cancelled my wedding plans, to show you my seriousness!" continued Abim.
"Abim, I never asked you to give me any proof! Besides, I'm married now! I've been happy with the man I chose myself!" tukas Verda's.
"W-what? Are you married?" ask Abim.
"Yes, I'm married! So, better just forget about your desire to refer to me!" answer Verda.
"Why Verda?! Why don't you forgive me?!" sergeant Abim.
"'Abim, I've forgiven you, but I really can't forget all your treatment!" continued Verda.
"Who?! Who's that man, Verda?" abim asked in a furious tone that he could not hide.
Verda commented a cold smile. He soon left Abim.
...*****...
Verda returned to the venue, with all her curiosity, Vivie immediately approached her sister. Vivie had seen before Verda left the event with Abim.
"Sister, what is Brother talking about with Abim's sister?" ask Vivie.
"I told her unequivocally that I refused a referral, and I'm married" Verda replied.
Vivie was flabbergasted to hear her sister's confession which was indeed typical of people who were often straightforward.
Verda's eyes caught the figure of Vedra entering the room. The man immediately approached the two Verda's parents. Mr. Daus and Ms. Eva were surprised to see the arrival of Vedra. All the relatives were directly focused on the man.
"I wish you a happy birthday, only the best prayers I can say to God are good," Vedra lowered her head.
Mr. Daus could clearly catch the question mark gazes fixed on the mysterious man.
"Hmm, yes, thank you" said Mr. Daus.
Verda immediately approached Vedra. Embrace the man's arm.
"Honey," Verda commented on the carefree smile.
"I'm sorry, I'm late" Vedra told Verda.
Ms. Eva smelled unpleasant smells from Mr. Daus's facial expression that immediately turned sour. Miss Eva really has to save the situation.
"Come, come here" Eva immediately invited Verda and Vedra to leave Mr. Daus.
The three of them exited the VIP room through the back door.
"Mom didn't mean to throw him out, but I was worried that if he was here it would cause trouble" Ms Eva said, setting her sights on Vedra.
"Okay, I understand" Vedra replied.
"Ved," stop Verda.
"Verda, it's okay, I understand my position" Vedra said.
Verda looked at her mother.
"Mom, then, I'll go first" Verda said.
"Verda," stop Miss Eva.
"Don't I tell you that I'm going to come to my dad's show as long as I'm with my husband? Didn't you agree to it?" ask Verda.
"But, Verda," said Ms. Eva restrained.
"Verda, don't be, I'm really fine, I can wait for you until the show is over" Vedra said.
"No, honey, I'm coming with you, it means we have to be together" Verda insisted.
Just this time Miss Eva saw Verda like that, especially to a man. It seemed like the relationship between the two of them was much deeper than Bu Eva had expected. Well, what a natural thing because they are both married couples.
"Let's go," Verda asked.
Vedra looked at Verda who looked annoyed.
"Alright, Miss Eva, then, we say retreat, greetings to Mr. Paradise," Vedra said.
"Mother, see you," Verda hugged her mother before leaving.
Bu Eva could only sigh at Verda's departure.
...*****...
Abim was still speechless with the shocking confession Verda made. Verda refused the invitation and was married.
Just be right! Damnit damnit! Abim cursed in his heart.
"What's wrong, Mr Abim?" ask Hengki so close to his boss.
"Sushy, try to find out who the man who married Verda is!" answer Abim.
"Mrs Verda is married, sir?" tanya Hengki astonishment.
"I really have to make a calculation on that man! That bastard who dared to snatch mine!" answer Abim.
"Well, Mr. Abim, I understand," Hengki concluded.
