Wulan was still sobbing in Jason's arms, but it was already much calmer than before.
"Why did you get on stage?" Jason asked as he looked at Wulan's face flushing the rest of the crying.
"Mom Monica and Bianca asked me to give a welcome, but after that I was instead asked to answer the questions of the reporters, sir" Wulan replied while wiping off a trace of tears on her cheek.
"Goal, this is their show!! Why are you involved??!! Let alone answering about personal matters, it was unethical!!!" Furious Jason.
"But luckily Ibram came to help just in time, so I don't have to answer all that sir" Wulan said.
"Ibram?? Yes, and the man owes an explanation as to why he covered himself!!" Jason was really upset.
Indeed, what Wulan said had a point. Ibram came at the most crucial moment, when Wulan was cornered. They should thank you for that anyway.
But, knowing the fact that the man who claimed to be an ordinary teacher was not from a careless family made Jason even more upset.
"Wulan" shouted one woman from the other direction.
Bianca seemed to be half-running towards the place where Jason and Wulan were standing.
The look on the girl's face really looked so worried.
"You here? I was confused looking for you from earlier!" Bianca pats Wulan on the shoulder.
"You why? Rich is crying?" Bianca asked as she observed Wulan's flushed face.
Wulan just shook her head and smiled, a smile being the answer when she did not want to explain anything.
"She's fine, just a little shocked at being suddenly the center of attention! Or rather be forced to take centre stage and share our personal affairs" Jason told Bianca.
Bianca gulped her saliva violently, Jason's gaze and manner of speaking were completely unfriendly this time around.
Sharp, cold and scary. But Bianca must not be afraid, or all her false kindness to Wulan will be exposed easily.
"I'm sorry, Wulan, Aunt Monica is too excited to meet such an amazing girl like you, let alone Jason's fiancee, that's all!" Bianca Refusal.
"It's okay" Wulan replied with a forced smile.
"Since you're here too, we better go out and enjoy the show, okay?!" Bianca said kindly to Jason and Wulan alternately.
Jason's face was still hardened, his gaze still remained the same, sharp and without a smile.
Wulan touched Jason's arm, trying to calm down his master who looked so angry.
"Come sir" said Wulan lirih.
Jason looked at her and then nodded.
The two walked out to follow Bianca who had sailed first.
The moment they had entered the room, as if given a cue, all eyes were staring at them.
Bianca steps towards a table, where she and Wulan sat before, a table where Jason will also be there.
Wulan walked beside the handsome Jason wearing a work suit like his usual days, her hands curled sweetly on the man's arms.
As the two were about to reach Bianca's table, Jason's footsteps did not stop.
The man stepped steadily, clasping tightly onto Wulan's fingers wrapped around his arms.
It makes them both the center of attention.
Wulan gasped, her heart again rustling when she realized that Jason was bringing her closer to the main stage.
Where Monica was standing with Ibram as well.
Like uninvited guests but so respected, they were surprised but also at the same time happy and honored Jason Hartono was willing to attend.
Actually, the opening invitation to the boutique was clearly sent and may have been among the pile of Jason's invitations in the office. But the man never had much time for such a party, he was too busy - not a mountainous office.
But for the sake of his Wulan, he ended up being in that place as well.
"Good day, Miss Monica" he said from under the stage.
"Happy afternoon, Mr. Jason, please" replied Monica while welcoming Jason and Wulan to board and join her.
Jason stepped up to immediately go up, while Wulan's hand felt much tighter, for some reason the girl was as nervous as before.
"May I give you a speech?" Jason asked with a smile.
"Of course, sir" the middle-aged woman replied as she handed him a microphone.
"Good afternoon ladies and gentlemen, please introduce me to Jason Hartono.
And besides me this is my fiancee Wulandari, who may have been acquainted first with all of you.
On this occasion I would like to congratulate the opening of a new branch of the boutique belonging to Madame Monica Darmawan.
And thank you for introducing my fiancee to the distinguished audience.
Even making her a major star at an event that shouldn't be for her." Jason said loudly and firmly.
His eyes glanced at Monica who appeared to be covered in cold sweat.
Several times Jason also looked at Ibram who looked so calm beside his mother.
"And to answer the questions of media friends who have not been able to answer Wulan, then for that I will answer.
Wulandari is the person I love, what her work and background is not an important thing to explain to anyone.
Most importantly we love each other, and that's enough. Our private life is not for public consumption, thank you!" Jason said firmly.
Ibram put on a cynical smile at the corner of his lips, hearing it spew out of Jason's mouth really made Ibram sick.
A married man who does not know himself!! And Ibram swore he wouldn't let Wulan stay stuck with a guy like Jason.
Previously Ibram felt that his interest in Wulan was like a sister, but somehow seeing Wulan always cornered made his sense of disbelief, he wanted to protect the girl, no matter what her name, no matter what, but that's not a feeling for a sister.
