Selenia chose an off shoulder dress model with the appropriate theme on the invitation card - monochrome, an elegant blend of black and white - to wear to Tony's birthday tonight. She sat in front of the mirror while applying thin makeup on her face. Although it could be spelled out rarely grooming, but Selenia knows how to bring appearances to an event. Given her age of 17, she chose a flawless make up.
After spinning once in front of the mirror, Selenia grabbed her bag and card and came out. He was shocked when he opened the door and found Adam standing there.
"Lhuh...." Selenia looked at Adam from head to toe. Her husband was wearing a long-sleeved shirt with a dark blue tosca, which was paired with old ash casual chino pants. Adam also wore regular sports shoes in a mix of blue black. There was absolutely no monochrome theme of the clothes she was wearing.
"Why? Cool huh?" joked Adam as he flicked the collar of his shirt.
"They are monochrome. Why are you wearing gini-rich color?"
Adam raised an eyebrow. "Sir Anton didn't say anything like that" he replied.
"At the invitation is really there," Selenia argued.
"On my invitation there is no cell. I didn't read it" said Adam Kalem. "Yes, maybe the theme is only devoted to Tony's friends."
Selenia grunted softly. Maybe what Adam said was true. Unwilling to argue any longer, Selenia walked past Adam. He went down the stairs carefully because he was using high heels. Adam who followed Selenia from behind could only chuckle at the way Selenia walked.
"Not laughing," Selenia flinched without even looking back.
His phone shook as soon as he reached the end of the stairs. Along with that came the sound of car horns outside.
[Cia: cell spout, old gapake]
Selenia read Cia's message at a glance and put her phone back in the bag.
"They came" said Adam, pointing his chin at the door. "Be careful on the road. Don't be naughty yeah," her god after giving a kiss on Selenia's right cheek.
Selenia did not flinch. He just waved his hand and went out to meet Cia and Marvin who were waiting in the car. They're leaving three tonight.
...πΊπΊπΊ...
Tony's birthday is celebrated in the building. A slick decoration arrangement makes the atmosphere increasingly look luxurious. Listen, there's gonna be an important announcement tonight. The guest chair is divided into two sections. The invitation to Tony's friends is in the building's right-hand section, with monochrome-themed decorations as written on the invitation. While the left is special for the guests of Mr. Anton's office people. A jumbo-sized multi-storey birthday cake arranged sweetly on the front or main background of the building. The accompanists are already preparing with the musical instrument in their hands on the podium, near the main background.
Syahdu country music welcomes the presence of invited guests who begin to arrive. Before entering the building, they first filled the guest book at the main door. So did Selenia, Cia and Marvin. After filling the guest book and putting gifts on the table that has been provided, they immediately take a position on the chair that has been prepared. And sure enough, the invited guests who came from Mr. Anton's office no one wore clothes according to the theme. They're free.
"Good night to all the happy invited guests" one MC began opening the event. He was standing on the podium, among the musical performers who were also wearing black and white costumes. Strictly and straightforwardly he delivered word for word.
Selenia looked agitated in her seat. He had not seen Adam in this place. He hasn't come yet, or is there a problem on his way? Selenia looked at the chair next to her. Cia and Marvin seemed engrossed in whispering and joking. Selenia sneered and immediately threw away her face. Fuck up! It feels like the mosquito repellent is next to them.
Selenia sighed slowly to calm herself down. The show has been going on for almost 15 minutes and Adam still hasn't come.
Selenia: [where are you anyway? Why not come yet?]
Selenia sent a WhatsApp message but it showed a tick. That means the message was not sent. Feeling emotion, she threw her phone violently into the bag.
The MCs echoed throughout the room. The cake cut will start soon. All invited guests were asked to stand up and sing Happy Birhtday. Tony emerged from the side door with Mr. Anton and Ms. Fatma. He looks cool wearing a white hem wrapped in a suit, tie and black pants. Some of Tony's admirers at school said things like 'Well, that's really cool!' 'That badboy vow is a dream!' 'Wuh!' ',Wow!' and some other amazed expressions.
Moreover, Lala was sitting not far from Selenia. He stared in amazement at Tony's newly-emerged figure. Tonight the girl seems to deliberately look as much as possible. Make up even if according to Selenia looks excessive and too flashy. But yes, people's tastes are different.
Tony and his Dad and Tantenya stand behind the birthday cake. The MC handed Tony a cookie cutter knife. Guided by the MC, Tony cut the cake with Happy Birhtday from everything in the room. The first cut was given to his father, while the second, although not actually Tony's wish he still gave to his Tantenya.
Simultaneously two people appeared from the main door. They were not the center of attention, but somehow when they came, it just so happened that Selenia was looking back - because indeed from earlier she was not focused and more often pay attention to the entrance of the building.
Adam just arrived at the party building with Renata. HE'S HOLDING NOLA! And what made Selenia even more surprised, the clothes they wore were almost similar in color. Like a couple of couples. And Nola too. The little boy was also wearing a dress that was exactly the same color as Adam's shirt.
Adam and Selenia meet. Adam drew his smile on Selenia, intending to signal that there was nothing to worry about from what she saw. But still it could not be taken for granted by Selenia. He did not want to return Adam's smile and threw away his face. His emotions had already shot up to the crown.
MC allows all guests to enjoy the dishes that have been available while waiting for an important moment that will be the highlight of the event tonight. Romantic music echoed the shahdu. But not to be heard by Selenia's ears. From then on he continued to steal a glance towards the guest on the left. Renata seems to be trying to be near Adam. And Nola was as if she was just making excuses so she could get close to Adam.
Adam: [Tadi Nola kebelet pup. So I have to wait. Sorry]
Selenia: [It must be so smart to act so dadyable?! Must it be Nola you're the one who's carrying?!]
Adam: [Please Cell. Be enjoy Ya. love you π]
Selenia threw her phone back into the bag. The atmosphere was lively, but not with his heart. His eyes were very hot to see the scene of Adam and Renata together. Look, they're like a dream family!
"Hey!" a voice shocked Selenia and she turned her head. "Make you, this is the third piece," Tony handed a piece of cake in his hand to Selenia.
"Oh.. uh..." Selenia. He was frowning looking for Cia and Marvin who had gone around enjoying food. Fuck up! Why the hell tonight it feels like a pleasure alone!
"You why the hell? Rich people confused?" ask Tony wonder.
Selenia received the cake and drink. He bit the cake a little. "Oh. e. no-no-pa," he tried to smile as sweetly as possible. "Happy birthday to you."
"Thank you" Tony nodded. "Cheers dong," he attached his drinking glass to Selenia's glass. "For my eighteen birthday!"
Selenia just smiled and followed the cheers from Tony.
Tony had actually noticed Selenia and Adam's gurgles from afar. His conjecture of those with special relationships grew stronger when he saw Selenia's sour face on Adam and Renata's togetherness. Tony smiled bitterly at the fact that Selenia's gaze was jealousy. From there he became more convinced, Adam was not Selenia's older brother.
"Who did you go with?" ask Tony then.
"Hi Tony's...." Lala suddenly approached them and interrupted the conversation. "Happy birthday yes Ton," he reached out.
Tony welcomed Lala's hand casually. Selenia chose to step aside a little.
"Thanks Lala," replied Tony flatly. "Yes enjoy the food. Have fun yes," he said and immediately shifted closer to Selenia.
Lala can only gawk. Iiihh... Not really fun anyway?! grunts in the heart. Feeling neglected, Lala immediately walked away with the sewot leaving Tony and Selenia. What is special about Selenia? I also dance everywhere. Ugh!!
"Cell, why are you getting out of the way?" ask Tony.
"Hehehe, no pa-pa. It's not good to bother people anymore."
"Geez, bother what the hell, not times. Lala's your classmate, right?"
Selenia nodded. "Yes,"
Tony mangosteen. "Oh yes, I did not answer. Who did you go here with?"
"I'm the same with Cia and Marvin."
Tony's forehead frowned. If they are brothers/sisters have a special relationship should go here together, right? But this, Adam instead left with his office friend.
"Why Ton?" tanya Selenia looked at Tony's tense-looking facial expression.
"No," Tony shook his head quickly.
The music is getting calmer. Couple couple embraces each other and dances. They seemed to be enchanted with the romance deliberately made by the music guides.
"Yuk dance!" Tony pulls Selenia's hand towards the main setting.
"Tons. But I can't dance" cried Selenia.
"Later to teach," said Tony, continuing to pull Selenia's hand.
Lala who saw Selenia being pulled around by Tony to the dance felt increasingly arrogant. He stared at the two of them. And it seemed like he felt uneasy about having to be here any longer. Unbeknownst to others - because he was busy enjoying the party - Lala immediately covered out of the building with a feeling of sadness and disappointment. Already groomed as much as possible to get Tony's attention, but even Tony attention to Selenia!
At that moment, Cia actually looked at the togetherness of Tony and Selenia in the main background. He also found Adam in one corner, staring intently at the two of them.
"They're made?" ask Marvin.
"I don't understand," Cia shook her head.
Selenia could not frown as Tony began to wrap his hands around the guy's neck. Friendly, Tony clasped Selenia's waist which still looked awkward. Tony sighed, and looked deeply into Selenia's eyes. And strangely, Selenia also returned that gaze. By following the rhythm of the music they dance with others.
Adam's clenched hands held back the emotion of seeing the scene. A feeling of unwillingness roared in his heart. Why did Selenia do that before her eyes? Didn't he tell her not to worry about Renata? Adam's breath was hunting until the dance was over.
Tonight's final session was an important announcement from Mr. Anton stating, that Tony's 18th birthday is, in particular and officially he handed over all his assets to his only child. Erland Antonio Adigunawa's. Because at that age Tony's name can be written legally and legally as a shareholder of the company. It's just that, as long as Tony is still in education, all are handled by Mr. Anton.
Awe and thunderous applause filled the room. The atmosphere was more lively when the music that had been shahdu changed with hip hop music. Great music for prancing. They all went back to enjoying the party, spending the remaining half of the night.
Tony pulled back Selenia's hand and took her swaying.
"AGAIN AT THE PARTY DON'T BAFFLE!" tony shouted trying to beat the sound of music that echoed while jumping. "TAKE IT AGAIN CLUBBING!" he chuckles.
Music can sometimes change a person's mood. For a moment, Selenia forgot what had just happened. Tony's right, it's party time and be happy. The matter of Renata can be discussed later at home. Not wanting to waste a chance, Selenia began to jump and jog.
"HAPPY BIRTHDAY, YES TON!!" shouted Selenia while dancing.
