Nicholas has been bathing and dressed for his birthday party. He had not been in touch with Raina, when she came home Raina was taking care of the party needs.
Nicholas's birthday party was not particularly lavish, only held on the porch of his house which happened to be quite spacious. They invited only about forty to fifty of Nicholas' friends and co-workers.

The band began playing jazz and pop songs. The decoration is simple but nice, the trees are decorated with lights and also some long white tables for guests.
The guests are seen starting to arrive, even Simon and Lita have also arrived. Nicholas searches for Bianca's whereabouts but does not find her, he attempts to contact Bianca's cell phone with no answer.
"Bianca's not coming?" ask Nicholas to Simon and Lita.
"So the hell it should be, he just said come here himself. We share loc anyway, maybe again on the road" replied Simon.
"Nanyain Bianca, ati-ati CLBK Nic hehehe" joked Lita half-whispering, afraid to be heard by Raina.
"Eh yes, in the future Raina, don't tell me about my past with Bianca. Tell me Bianca's a bridesmaid you ta, I also just met. Let's not have a long business hehehe" said Nicholas.
Simon and Lita then chuckle, they know very well what Raina is like when it comes to Nicholas' past in particular.
Nicholas then sat in a corner of the park alone looking for fresh air after greeting some invited guests. He took his phone back to see if Bianca had replied to his message but apparently there was no message from Bianca.
"Hey, how come the birthdays are sitting alone in the corner?" bianca's murmur that was already in front of him, made Nicholas surprised.
"Hei bi" said Nicholas, then he stood up from his stool.
Bianca then gave a birthday greeting while kissing Nicholas' left and right cheeks with her cheek. It made both of them feel a vibration within their inner selves. Bianca presented a gift to Nicholas in a square shape wrapped in black gift paper and a red ribbon on it.
After that Bianca decided to join Lita and Simon. He prevented himself from lingering with Nicholas.
Nicholas looked at Bianca from behind and was stunned by her appearance today. She wears a peach-colored dress that strongly shapes the curves of Bianca's body, with the hemispheres on her right side all the way to the thighs creating a sexy impression.
From a distance Raina saw the figure of a beautiful woman who felt familiar.
"Hi, I think we've met where ya mbak? Is it Nicholas?" ask Raina.
Bianca was surprised, she remembered the incident in the elevator and was confused as to what to answer.
"We've met in the elevator, it turns out he's Lita's bridesmaid, her name is Bianca" said Nicholas coldly answered Raina's question.
"Oh hi, yes I'm Bianca" said Bianca friendly and then stick her hand towards Raina. He tried to be friendly because he felt there was something strange about Nicholas and his wife, they felt very cold and stiff.
"Raina" Raina replied.

The party went well and the guests seemed to enjoy the music and delicious food. The day was getting late and waiters started to shop around offering cocktails and other alcoholic beverages.
Throughout the party Nicholas and Raina were indifferent to each other, even at dinner they sat side by side without talking to each other.
Raina, furious that Nicholas had ignored her, decides to go into the house to her room and leave the party.

Bianca chose to sit by herself while texting Fritz because since leaving Fritz has not reported Bianca at all, not as usual. The message from Bianca was not answered at all.
Nicholas who saw Bianca aloof then approached Bianca.
"Bi, are you alone?" ask Nicholas.
"Yes, I tried to call Fritz, but there was an answer. He anterin me here and said he would pick me up again after he finished with his show" said Bianca.
Nicholas then offers to take Bianca if there is no news from Fritz but Bianca insists on refusing.
"It's okay bi, if Fritz doesn't come later also let me anter you go home. You see Lita starting to mabok bi, it is impossible to ask for help Simon anterin you" said Nicholas forced.
"But your wife." said Bianca. She was afraid that Raina was angry or jealous of her.
Nicholas then convinced Bianca that there would be nothing if he drove Raina. Bianca was actually aware of the cold and stiff attitude between Nicholas and Raina during the event. They did not even say hello except when Raina approached Bianca to confirm her arrival.
After arriving at eleven o'clock in the evening, Fritz had not yet arrived or contacted Bianca. Some of the invited guests had started to throw a party, even Simon began to be overwhelmed by Lita who was currently getting drunk so he decided to go home. Bianca finally agreed with Nicholas' desire to drive her home.

Raina peeked out from behind the Window, finding Nicholas' car had already walked out of their residence. Raina is unable to see if Nicholas is alone or with anyone else as she only sees Nicholas' car driving over from the back side.
His heart was troubled, all this time Nicholas always relented with him and apologized but this time he really seemed to not care about Raina.
There is a fear in Raina imagining a change in Nicholas' attitude. During the new marriage this time Nicholas chose to sleep in the guest room even now he went somewhere and with whom.
He digested and recalled his words that night towards Nicholas but found no fault in his words. He just said his heart, he wanted Nicholas to be with him, that's all.
Unable to hold back his emotions, he sends a message to Nicholas.
"You don't know thank you! I made your birthday party but now I'm going somewhere! The whole party can also be my cuekin! What the hell are you taking me?! Sorry doesn't come out of your mouth! You feel great now, Nic?!! You can act like me without me, you can't be like me now! or you choose to let me tell my papa about this attitude of yours!!" fill in Raina's message.
Indeed tonight they did not invite their respective families because the day after tomorrow they wanted to make dinner at the hotel for the Nicholas family and the Raina family.
Raina's face was hot, as the only child of a successful businessman he always got what he wanted from childhood. Everyone is subject to him and his orders. Now facing her husband's attitude like this, of course, she felt very emotional and spoke words of ridicule to Nicholas.
