Not the Dust Granules

Doni's Proposal.

"Irene, you're willing to be my wife, right??".

"Sorry Doni, I can't accept your proposal".

"I don't deserve to be your wife".

"I'm a dirty woman".

"You can find a better wife than me".

"I don't care, for me you're still the same Irene, who I've known for a long time".

"I promise I'll always make you happy".

Irene fell silent. Doni's application was very sudden. After all, he had just recovered from the rape trauma he had experienced. He's not ready, if he has to deal with a man.

"Give me Doni time, I can't answer your proposal yet".

"I'll wait, as long as you know I'm always by your side".

"Can you take me to the store now??".

Doni nodded, he complied with Irene's request. Doni drove him to his Frozen food store. He was not sure Irene had completely recovered.

"Sir, please keep an eye on Irene, if there's anything, call immediately".

"Good sir".

Irene went straight up to the top address. His thoughts are getting more complicated. The fact that he was no longer holy, plus Doni's proposal, Irene could no longer think. Doni doesn't deserve his dirty self. And Irene, she could no longer stand tall before the world.

"Irene read one chat from Tamara. He wanted to order a dress design. While chats from foreign numbers were also the same content, they ordered a party dress design.

Irene is excited again. He replied one by one the incoming chat. Shortly after, a call came in from Alex. Irene immediately rejected it. He did not want to go back to remembering the painful events between the two of them. Irene continued to chat with Tamara.

"Irene,, prepare all your designs, in a month I'll be looking for sponsors, we'll have a fashion show for your work".

"You're serious Tamara, I'm not dreaming, right??".

"I'm serious, you're out of Miss Renata's boutique, right??".

"This is your chance, you just have to prepare all your clothes".

"The rest, leave everything to me".

"1 month, enough right??".

"Your career will be brilliant after the show, just look..!".

"Tamara, I don't know what else to say".

"I hope I didn't let you down".

"Well,,, let's get to work".

Irene was like getting the wind of heaven. In the midst of the calamity that befell him, there was great wisdom he received. Maybe this is God's answer to all his prayers. He had replaced Irene's suffering into happiness.

Irene rushed to gather all the designs of the clothes she had made. He also ordered the best materials for his work. All the gear he put on the top floor of the store. Now, the shop is a fashion house.

"Mother Irene, you want to get out??".

"Yes, I have a little business, no one can go upstairs, you understand, right??".

"Good Mom".

Irene bought all her sewing supplies at her subscription store. She chose unique accessories for her clothes. After that he went to the store.

Rather than at home, Irene prefers to work in the store.Besides the place is quiet, there can also be no distractions. Because, besides Doni, no one else knows that Irene has a store. So Irene felt safe hiding in that place".

"What are you doing, I called you earlier".

"Sorry Don, I'm outside".

"Out of nowhere, don't be weird..!".

"No, you know, Tamara offered me a fashion show".

"My work, only, and Tamara's taken care of everything".

"Good, I'm glad to hear it".

"Listen...don't forget to eat and take care of your health".

"Later in the afternoon I stopped by".

"Well Doni, I get it".

Doni was shocked after turning off his phone. Alex stood in front of him. Perhaps, he had already heard his conversation with Irene. But it's not important.

"That's Irene, right??".

"Have you not hurt her enough??".

"Though it was Irene, I wouldn't tell you where she is now".

"Doni, I just want to make amends".

"If possible, I'd marry her".

"That's not necessary, just stay away from him".

"There's still me beside him".

"You just don't know who Irene really is".

"If you knew it, there's no way you'd underestimate it".

Doni moved away from Alex. He won't let her see let alone meet with Irene again. It was quite the heartache he had made on Irene.

"Sir, please help lift the groceries in front??".

"Take it upstairs".

"Good Mom".

"Are you sure Miss Irene wants to make clothes here??".

"Yes mbak, I'll wear a uniform sometime".

"You guys take care of the store this month??".

"Tomorrow my bonus".

"Gee...Miss Irene is so nice, thank you, Mom".

Irene immediately started her work. This month she focused on fashion shows. Preparation is almost 90 percent. Waiting for the day H.

Irene had slowly begun to forget the tragedy that had befallen her. This month, Alex also could not see Irene. Doni still often accompanies him in the store that Irene transformed into an impromptu boutique. The application that he uttered, had not yet received an answer from Irene.

Tonight, Irene's fashion show will be held. Already since the afternoon, Tamara picked up Irene and took her to the salon.In addition to being attended by top artists, the fashion show later also invited boutique owners and garment companies throughout the city. And of course the event was also aired in various media.

"You look so beautiful, I'm pangling Lo".

"You could be Tamara, I'm so embarrassed".

"Eh..bener Lo, you can be an artist too this way".

"Just tonight, our designer's the best".

Irene and Tamara are already on the scene of the fashion show. The models are also ready. Irene is still wara-wiri preparing a model who wears her draft dress. Soon, the show's full, but Doni hasn't been seen yet.

"Let's go Irene,,,, in 10 minutes you're on stage".

"Your fashion show was a huge success tonight".

"All the dresses are almost sold".

"In the meantime, I'm still waiting for Doni".

"Come on Doni, pick up the phone, where are you??".

"This is a very important moment in my life".

Irene was still pacing back and forth waiting for Doni.

In five minutes, he has to perform on stage. Her smile brightly saw Doni running towards her.

"Sorry, I'm stuck in traffic!!".

"Thank God..ayo hurry, change your clothes, five more minutes we perform".

Irene chose her dress for Doni. They look very harmonious. From off the stage, Tamara called out her name. Irene rushed to bring a bouquet of flowers by holding Doni's arm.

Alex, who was sitting with his mother, was shocked to hear Irene's name. She did not expect the fashion show this time was her show. He was looking forward anxiously to Irene's scales. They have not met for a month.

"You see,,, you, you've made a mistake".

"Irene is a jewel, this is just one of his successes".

"But you look down on him too much".

Alex looked at the stage carefully. Irene looks so beautiful. But the instant his blood boiled, seeing Doni holding his friendly hand.

Alex is jealous. It is undeniable, he is already in love. Ever since that damned event, Alex has missed Irene terribly.

This time Alex is really jealous of the two people.He considers himself more entitled to Irene.
