One Week Later
The sound of music echoed throughout the room. The sparkling light bulb that twinkled twinklingly emitted various colors in a spacious room that was conjured up in such a way as to be a party place at night today.
The waiters back and forth push the trolli on which there are several glasses of wine that will usually be taken by party visitors.
Tonight is the night of a child's birthday party from a famous conglomerate in the Capital City. His company is so patronizing all over the country. His business lines span many industrial sectors. No wonder, because the family company has been established for decades ago and is currently led by the third generation.
A woman who was wearing a typical waitress outfit was a white shirt with a black vest and a black span skirt with hair in a neat loop that left only a child with hair dangling slightly on the forehead. The woman pushed the trolli to and fro bringing her glasses of wine.
His steps stopped for a moment when he saw someone he knew very well. Even from a distance, he could still recognize who he was seeing.
The woman was holding her chest which was throbbing pain. A feeling of disappointment spread in every corner of his heart. His eyes glazed over when the person he saw had met his eyes but immediately turned his face away without intending to say hello.
The woman immediately stepped back to the back where a special bar area was provided. He needs to bring back the wine dish because his trolli now there are only used glasses of wine that has been gulped out by guests.
As he waited for the bartender to carry out his duties, the woman took out a cell phone from inside her shirt pocket and opened a photo gallery. He swiped a photo from his phone screen. A picture of a man and woman smiling sweetly.
"Okay. it's all.. You can bring those wines back into the room". Said the bartender interrupting the woman's daydream.
The woman immediately put her phone back in her shirt pocket and nodded away.
He began to walk around again in the spacious and magnificent room. The clothes she wears today are in stark contrast to the clothes of the guests, who all wear beautiful tuxedos and party dresses.
If only.. She wondered how she would look if she wore a party dress that wrapped her body.
"Wait the fuck.." A man's voice stopped his steps.
"I want this".Continue the man again while taking 1 glass of wine from the top of the trolli.
The woman just nodded her head. He has been given direction by the event coordinator that it should not stare at the guests. His job is to walk around delivering wine and carrying empty glasses only.
The woman started to step again but the same man's voice stopped her steps back. "You.. Anggi right?".
The woman raised her head and ventured to look at the man. The look on his face was surprised instead of playing when he saw who the man before him was.
"Sir Reynald..." He said a little while bowing his head politely.
Reynald watched from top to bottom Anggi's performance tonight. His forehead shriveled in wonder.
"You're at work?". Ask Reynald.
Anggi nodded thinly. "Yes, Sir". Answer Anggi briefly.
Anggi looked back and forth afraid of himself being seen by the chairman of the coordinator because he had violated the rules that should not stare let alone to talk to guests like he did today.
"Is there anything you're looking for?". Tanyq Reynald when he saw Anggi circulating his gaze throughout the room.
Anggi shook his head slowly. "No..It's just that the rule is I shouldn't stare or talk to the guests, sir".
Hearing that Reynald snorted. "Who made those ridiculous rules? Indeed, you guys are the waitresses of this robot that just passed his duty. You should display the best smile and give a friendly impression on guests". Reynald.
"What's up, bro?". Asked a man to interrupt Reynald and Anggi's chat.
"Did this waitress make trouble with you?". Ask the man again.
Reynald looked at the man and then turned to look at Anggi who immediately lowered his head.
"none.. I just asked her to give me a glass of wine". Reynald said as he raised his glass.
The man was bearded and turned to look at Anggi. "Continue your work". Say ny and quickly Anggi passed without saying goodbye to Reynald.
Gavin, a business associate and also a friend to Reynald. Gavin is the sister of the owner of the show tonight.
"You found her?". Gavin asked, whispering a little to Reynald.
"Not yet.." Reynald said as he slowly shook his wine glass.
Gavin is someone who knows other than Renata and Andre about the relationship between Reynald and Clara. The man also had time to help Reynald in the first 3 months to find the idol of his friend but just the same he had trouble finding traces of Clara.
"I hope he finds her soon. I've settled back here. My two months in Moscow were hell".Gavin complained to Reynald.
"At least you should be proud of yourself if you end up being useful to your family. You managed to save the branch company there within two months. I'm glad you finally have another talent instead of just spending money hahahaha..." Reynald laughed out loud in response with a slow fist on the man's shoulder.
Two hours later the party was over. 80% guests follow the event until the end because the party is held is interesting and comfortable to enjoy but there are also some guests who survive until the end to look for face in the family conglomerate that holds the event.
Reynald decided to say goodbye to the queen tonight before returning home. The man approached a group of people in the middle of the room.
"Gina, happy birthday to you". Reynald.
Gina turned to Reynald and kissed the man's left and right cheeks. "Thank you handsome.. I'm glad you came tonight".
Reynald nodded. "I'll go home first.."
"Hey... Don't forget next month you'll have to come to my wedding!". Gina. "And give me the best present for me hahhahaa". The beautiful woman laughed freely revealing her row of neat and white teeth.
Reynald smiled as he nodded and immediately retreated.
By the time he got to the front of the lobby, the driver had been waiting for him next to his luxury car. Reynald immediately headed to his car and sat in the back seat. He opened his tuxedo suit and removed the bow tie in the shirt collar until he opened the top two buttons.
"Go home, sir". Reynald said to the driver.
The car starts to go slowly and Reynald's eyes suddenly catch a woman he met accidentally at a party.
Reynald turned his face to look outside when he saw Anggi running towards the side of the road and approached a man who worked online motorcycle taxi.
Reynald's car passed through Anggi and the online motorcycle and Reynald was still staring from inside his car with his forehead linked confused by what he saw tonight from a student named Anggi.
