Alex stood in front of the mirror while wearing his clothes.
Tok tok tok tokk
Alex turned his head when he heard the knock on the door, but his father was already standing in the doorway. Papa Alex, who is neat in his luxurious suit, now smiles to see his son who today looks more handsome and charming than usual. Alex wears a white shirt and a maroon suit, decorated with a bow tie that is also maroon.
"Pa?"
"Are you ready?"
"Hm, in a minute!" say Alex while fixing his tie.
"Can you come in?"
"Hm."
Papa started to step inside, spreading his gaze across Alex's room.
"Older time, papa didn't go into your room. Uh, what's this? AI.. papa told you not to paint in the room!"
Papa's step stopped when he saw a canvas still attached to his clamp board. Papa approached the canvas, which was next to Alex's mattress, facing the window and turning his back to him. Then papa circled around to see the painting on the canvas. When papa saw it, papa slightly gasped, then looked at Alex with a ignorant smile.
"Hmm.. Who is Al?"
Alex just smiled in response while walking towards papa.
"For so long you've never painted someone's face, you love the natural scenery and your classic carving paintings, but this girl is definitely special until you paint her face." Papa was amazed as he looked at the face painting of a girl on the canvas.
Alex stood next to Papa by folding one hand and placing the other under his chin.
"What do you think of papa?"
"Beautiful, I think you painted it in great detail huh, who is she?" Papa curious.
Alex smiled at the painting, "Al would have known him to papa if Al could see him again."
Papa frowned confused, "What does it mean if you see him again?"
"We only met once, and Al hoped to see him again." Alex turned to his papa before continuing his words, "Will he be present at the night event, pa?"
"Where do you know, is he papa's business friend? Or papa's employee? Did you take him?"
Alex smiled lethargicly, "Hopefully, Al wished for a miracle.. Al really wanted to see him again." he muttered.
Papa chuckled while patting Alex on the shoulder. "So, is your son in love?!"

Kayla and Mami got out of the car, after parking their car Om lwan went down and they entered the event site together.
The asset handover event as well as the inauguration of several projects held by the big Boss was located in a restaurant large enough, this restaurant is privately owned by the Boss, it was, which he said had just finished construction this month and would open soon.
When Kayla, Mami and Om lwan entered, they were amazed by the elegant decor of the room. It does not look like a restaurant, as this restaurant has been transformed into a magnificent palace.
"I guess it's like being a royal guest huh mi?" kayla whispered, making my mother laugh.
How not, in addition to the view inside this room like a palace, they were also warmly welcomed by the servants who served at the event.
Mami and Om Lwan are now preoccupied with greeting their business partners, while Kayla just stands next to her mom and smiles when she sees her interaction with her friends.
Mami looks very happy when her wish is granted, the desire will introduce Kayla to her friends. Kayla feels awkward seeing mommy so enthusiastic and talks a lot about Kayla, mom looks proud to introduce her daughter to her friends.
Until the event starts, guests are welcome to sit in the space provided. The show's MC took to the stage and started the event, beside him stood a middle-aged man whose appearance looked noble, dignified and elegant.
MC introduced him as Founder and President Director of PT SWill Group, and CEO of several well-known companies and factories, which have many branches in various cities in Indonesia.
MC announced the show. "First: Welcome from Mr. Elfattar Smith William as the host.
Second: Legalization of the new project, by several company leaders and Mr. Willian himself.
Third: Inauguration of this new restaurant that has been named 'AWS Food'
Fourth: Submission of 50% of company assets to the sole heir of PT SWill Group.Fifth: Birthday of the only son of Mr. William, the 17th"
Then the MC invited the Big Boss to speak, the Boss walked to the center of the stage and began to give a speech. It turns out that this event is not just a business meeting or the transfer of assets, the Boss also published about this new restaurant, which will operate from tomorrow and its grand opening tonight. Lastly, his only son's birthday will be celebrated tonight as well. Well, all the important events were held in one night. It was fitting that the invited guests were present a lot, and it seemed like most of the upper class.
After finishing the second event and about to enter the third pickle, with a little mince-talk, he finally introduced his only son who was the reason this lavish event was made.
"Okay, we're going to get into the core of the show. I am proud to introduce my only son, Alexander Smith William!"
Boisterous applause echoed throughout the room. The guests who had been waiting for the presence of the sole heir now seemed rowdy to see the figure who was stepping up on the stage and then standing next to the father.
"God willing..." Praise one of the guests.
"Eleven twelve is the same Mr. William."
"we are eleven twelve, father and son. But more handsome son anyway"
"Great handsome boy again!"
"He's very competent, yes, fit to be the heir to a large company like SWill Gruop. It's only been 17 years, but the aura of his leadership is too good."
"His name is Alexander, cool no tuh.. in accordance with the person and his position!"
Kayla was curious, she also turned her head to be able to reach the vision on the stage which is now covered by the number of people who look in the right direction.
"Alexander's? Is Alex the jerk at school? I don't think it's possible, Alex's name is a lot" Kayla murmured slowly.
When Kayla's gaze could reach the figure standing next to Mr. William, Kayla was shocked. In contrast to the gazes of people who looked to admire the figure.
"Yes God! Really him? Alex? Ah no way, I must've been wrong" Kayla's inner shock.
Kayla could hardly believe her vision, so she rubbed her eyes to make sure.
"Dear, don't rub his eyes, it will be damaged you again use softlens!" Sergey Mami.
Mami giggled at Kayla's reaction when she saw the Boss's son, "lo dear, he is handsome but not all you see"
Kayla instantly averted her gaze and stared amusedly at the mami, "What the hell is Mi!"
"Dear my daughter is married, try not yet, really want me to be with Mr. William." someone near Kayla heard praising Alex.
"lya yes jeng, the dream ghost is so kayak." timpal his friend.
Kayla flicked her shoulders feeling a sense of unease with what she had just heard. "The aunt knows Alex's true behavior, must have said that the dream ghost." Kayla's inner.
"lex? His only son, Mr William? The sole heir of all those assets and big companies? Oh, my God. how can you? Doesn't match her image at school! But..." Kayla continued to mutter in her heart so much that she did not expect it.
"..but he looks different here?! Ah, yes it is different, this is a big and formal event, where it may look careless. The smile is also different, not as scary as usual. Ah, what the hell am I!" Kayla shook her own head, dismissing her positive thoughts about Alex.
"Once a jerk stay a jerk! This in front of his papa business colleagues is clearly he ja'im, huh!" gerutu Kayla in heart.
Look and listen, now the style of speech is very polite and formal, the appearance looks simple and good. He was very different from her at school.
Kayla did not expect that tonight she would attend Alex's event. Kayla recollected when she read the invitation last week, there was no Alex's name on the invitation, only her papa's name was listed. Besides Kayla does not know Alex's full name and she also does not suspect that Mr. William is Alex's father, or Alex is the son of Mr. William. And even though at school everyone knows Alex is the son of a school owner and a respected businessman.
After Alex finished his speech, signed some papers and cut the ribbon as the inauguration of the restaurant included in the assets given by Mr. William to him, now the next event is the birthday celebration of Alex. A Habib is here to recite a congratulatory do'a and a token of gratitude to the Alex family for their smooth running and business success as well as for Alex's birthday celebration.
The event closed with the cutting of tumpeng according to the customs and traditions in this country, as the gratitude of everyone. Guests are welcome to enjoy the dishes available.
"Uh, if I know this is Alex's show, let alone his birthday!" gerutu Kayla slowly.
"Eh what, baby? Mommy didn't hear?"
"No, Lily said nothing." - Kayla.
"Why are you coming home, Kay? The show is over, eat first! Om also want to chat with friends Om." said Om lwan.
Let alone eating, Kayla was not even interested in being in this place any longer. Kayla initially enjoyed the party, but after seeing Alex, her mood changed. Moreover, this is Alex's party, Kayla does not feel like being here. Kayla grunts lazily.
"Alex can't know I'm here, he can't see me! What about kumat? Or at least he must have mocked me because of my appearance" Kayla murmured inwardly.
Om Iwan and mami began to choose the food they would eat, Kayla also would not want to take the plate but she was confused about what to take. In a big event like this, of course, there are many tempting food menus on the tongue, ranging from snacks to heavy meals. All kinds of drinks and cakes adorn the dish table. All the menus available here will be a fixed menu in this restaurant that will open from tomorrow.
Kayla likes any food except the galah shrimp and other large shrimp of its kind, Kayla is allergic to it. And Kayla's problem right now is not to be confused about what to eat, but she does not*****food.
"I should be hungry anyway see the food like gini, but my mood is hounded because there is Alex." Kayla sat back, looking at the various foods in front of her that made Kayla tempted.
"What do you want, baby? tawar mami's.
"Emmm... Fruit salad deh, Lily is not laper" said Kayla while putting back the plate is still empty and replace it with a small bowl to fill with fruit salad.
"Rare you eating? Rice or noodles, or something else?" Ask mami.
Kayla shook her head steadily with a smile and started picking up the fruit salad. "No, Lily wants this."

Alex snorted lazily as he glanced at the one-by-one faces of the man sitting with him. Since then, his father has been busy introducing Alex to his colleagues. What makes Alex upset is that some of his papa friends act pretentiously with him and even with his pede's introduce their daughter to Alex.
Never mind happy, Alex even felt sick of the treatment of those who happily offered his daughter. Alex was only forced to accept their handshake, to keep his good name and the good name of his father as a business partner and host.
Actually since Alex was standing on the stage earlier, his sharp bead had explored the entire room. Looking for the figure he missed, maybe the girl was present at this ceremony. Although Alex has yet to find any trace of her in this city, she remains optimistic that she will be reunited with her Kissable.
Even now, his eyes continued to be still circulated to look for the girl. And he began to impatiently move from his seat and look for the figure he missed in this place.
"Pa, Al go there first!" finally said.
"Oh, yes" answered his papa briefly before resuming his chat with his colleagues, whom Alex believes their chat is still a long time away.
After all, it's been half an hour the fathers around him are chatting about the development of their business, and Alex is just a listener. Rather than wasting time, Alex would rather just leave.
"Well...! Papa why the hell invite this many people, I will be hard to squirm their face one-on-one! How can I find Miss Kissable if I like this!" his own grunt while walking gontai.
Alex continued to circulate his gaze until the tail of his eyes caught the figure he was looking for, his sharp bead suddenly stopped on that one object. Yes, Alex is sure he is the one. He can not be mistaken to recognize the face of the girl, even though he has never seen it perfectly.
Degg
Degg
The flowers in Alex's heart began to bloom. His eyes did not blink so happy, not only could not but Alex would not be willing to blink his eyes if it would make his eyes blocked from the figure he saw, even for a second. Without him noticing, tears had welled up in his eyes, his breathing began to tremble, and a smile rose from his lips.
"Miss Kissable.." the little mutter escaped from his mouth without asking.
... ....
... ....
... ....
"Hi Nad? greet a woman who is now standing next to Kayla's mother.
"Oh, hi Lin!" reply mami when she realizes her office friend greeted.
"Have you finished eating? Follow yuk! Join the others" he asked while pointing at a group of mothers who were busy chatting.
"Udah. Uh, this was my son Kayla. And baby, this is my office mate, her name is Aunt Linda."
"Hi Kayla, you are so beautiful! Mami you lost." she said enthusiastically while extending a hand.
"Thank you aunt!" kayla said while accepting aunt Linda's hand job.
"Darling, mommy go there first! Aren't you alone?"
"yes, no papa. Here's rame."
Finally after Om left to join his coworkers, he left Kayla sitting alone, who still ate the fruit salad lazily. Kayla circulated her random gaze, at least so that she would not be too bored sitting alone while eating even though she was lazy.
Suddenly Kayla gasped in shock, her eyes wide open to see someone smiling at her. Kayla immediately choked and coughed in shock. Kayla looked at it once more to ascertain if the person was actually smiling at her or at someone else? But again Kayla was shocked because the man was indeed smiling at her, even now the man was walking towards her.
"Alex???"
"Can't be! Alex smile at me? No, I must be wrong!"
"Eh, right? He's going to come here, really? Couldn't he be killing me?" Inner Kayla rumbled.
Kayla glanced around her even more backward, perhaps Alex not walking towards her but to someone else. And Kayla is increasingly agitated by her vision, because now she believes Alex is actually walking towards her.
"Duuuh... How about, what should I do? I don't want to face him! Why'd he come here, smile again, he'd be mocking me!"
After settling in on her own, without a second thought Kayla got up and hurried away.
Kayla stepped in a hurry without looking back, she stepped aimlessly to hide where. Anywhere, just don't see and be seen by Alex.
Kayla stopped her steps behind the big pole. Regulate the roar of his breath that is still not careless while wiping the sweat that soaks his forehead and neck.
"Ehem!"
Suddenly the sound of Deheman shocked Kayla so with a reflex Kayla turned around.
Duaaaarr.....
Now Kayla could only sigh and swallow her saliva. Since then he has walked briskly half-run to avoid Alex, but now Alex has been in front of him.
"Miss Kissable?"
Duaaaarr
Kayla was stunned to hear the sentence that Alex had just come out of Alex's mouth.
"A ..what?? A. I must have heard wrong! No way." Kayla's mind was nervous.
"Miss Kissable?" reset Alex.
Kayla was getting flabbergasted, even now her mouth was open so shocked.
"Can't be! No one knows that call! Nothing!! Not even my mom knows how Alex can....?"
"Miss Kissable?" repeated again.
Degg
Kayla's heart almost stopped beating hearing Alex repeat Miss Kissable's sentence for the third time. For some reason now Kayla's hair is stiffening and her veins are squeezing, to the point that she restrains her body by resting on a pole beside her. Kayla leaned on the pole while staring in shock and wonder at Alex.
Alex himself was confused by the reaction of the beautiful girl before him.
