Sweetest Escape

Kayla's betrothal

What's wrong with circular plastic flower-studded embellishments? The lights are flashing? Slim-legged glasses filled with red, orange and black drinks? Then, the babble from the invited guest that made Arden's ears feel deaf.

Everyone there doesn't bother him. Be it lights, flowers, annoying noises, but Arden feels they are all mocking the helplessness of a man who is at the engagement of his best friend.

What best friend? Since when? Arden has to rectify it. He is not friendly with fat women who wear dresses like Cinderella. The woman instead giggled with the handsome man of foreign descent.

Arden forgot where the bule man came from. America or Canada is not important to him. The problem is himself. Something's wrong, heart, right? Or the competition between him and Kayla.

The bongsor-bodied woman was engaged. The man who became her future husband was so handsome, it could even be said to beat Arden. The understanding was based on the eyes of Aretha who came and Kayla herself of course.

According to Arden himself, he is the most attractive and handsome man. It doesn't matter if anyone says he's narcissistic, but it's true. His eyes were pitch black. He was a hundred and seventies tall and a burly body resembling his father, Kevin. Both of his parents are of mixed ancestry. Naturally, Arsen had a stunning look.

His eyebrows cross perfectly. The nose is very clearly towering, the skin is white and the shape of the lips has a little thickness. However, why until now he has no companion? This became the mockery of his biggest enemy since childhood, Kayla.

"You've congratulated Kayla?" ask Aretha.

"What to?" Arden asked back.

"should! Don't tell me you're reluctant because you're feeling rivaled?"

"You know for yourself I'm lazy to look at her face. He was even told to congratulate. I go home first, deh," said Arden.

"Good congratulations first. Om Raka was nyariin you," said Davin who came with the baby, Daren.

"So mom and dad too. Mending you thank you there. Old age still wants enemies" said Aretha added.

Arden exhaled a rough breath. If her sister's wishes were not obeyed, Aretha would never stop telling her to go up on the bail.

His steps felt heavy as if walking on sharp rocks without wearing footwear. However, to run away from this event is not possible. There were a lot of watching eyes and questions if he did not come to congratulate Kayla.

"Why does Arden move like a bride?" ask Davin, who saw his brother-in-law reluctant to walk.

"Arden's foot is a whistle" replied Aretha.

Arden should have pretended to be sick, busy or whatever it was, as long as he wasn't present at this engagement. But on the other hand, Arden must also be present because Kayla will assume he is embarrassed.

In Arden's heart he cursed, all manner of sagapah he uttered only in his heart. Cursed the happy Steve and Kayla, but to Arden the couple was like laughing at him.

After a full struggle at last, Arden arrived behind the guest who congratulated him. A man and a woman. Maybe it was Kayla's friend, and Arden had to wait because instead there was a photo session.

Increasingly he cursed Kayla's engagement. Arden didn't care, he broke into Steve's hand.

"Congratulations to you" said Arden.

"Receive kssih," replied Steve.

Holy hooch! Steve is handsome. Arden wanted to gouge out the man's two bluish eyeballs. A stocky body wrapped in a batik shirt. It was about the same height as Arden, with a firm jaw. What a promising superior seed.

Arden leaned his body towards Kayla, then whispered, "Don't feel good just yet. I'm sure you'll be breaking up soon."

"Say you are envious" said Kayla.

Arden smiled wryly. "Congratulations to you, Kay."

"Thank you, Arden."

What a great show both of them played. There cannot be a cold war. They were in the middle of the party and all the guests noticed.

"When are you, Ar?" raka Tegur.

"It's a pity Kayla already has Steve, if you can't be with Kayla" said Dean.

"Kayla is not an Arden type" he said.

"This child! From childhood, I loved to bother Kayla" Elena said.

"If you want, Papa can find you a mate?" ask Kevin.

"No! Arden has a girlfriend in America."

"You want to get proposed?" ask Kevin.

"Arden doesn't want to get married yet."

"Young people should not be forced. Let it be," said Raka.

"Congratulations, yes, Om, Aunt. Hopefully everything will be smooth until H day" Arden told Raka and his wife.

Raka replies, then Arden steps away on the grounds there is an appointment with his friends. Arden had to get out of the atmosphere that was suffocating him.

Before he actually gets out of the hotel ballroom, Arden flips himself to see Kayla. Filled woman with cute face. His eyes were round, his nose was small, his lips made a man want to stop by. Her height was around One hundred and sixty, and Kayla liked to change her hair color. Arden likes it best if the woman wears round glasses and brown hair color. Impressed sweet and adorable.

"From now on I can no longer pinch her cheeks. There's been Steve as a substitute" Arden murmured.

Kayla looked at the entrance of the hotel ballroom, she saw Arden looking forward. Kayla clasped her hand against Steve's burly arm, and the man kissed her forehead.

"Tonight you were very spoiled" said Steve.

"I'm so happy, Steve," said Kayla.

"More me."

Steve embraces Kayla's dense waist, pinching the woman's cheek which makes Arden grit his teeth looking at her.

"Kayla challenges me! Just watch out for you!" arden said, annoyed, and then left immediately.

"He's finally gone, too" Kayla muttered softly.

Now Kayla has proven that she can get more men than Arden. Until now Kayla was upset that Aretha's brother was endlessly mocking her.

"Look at you Arden, now it's my turn to make fun of you."

"What's wrong?" ask Steve.

"No, Honey. I'm just tired of standing up" Kayla replied.

"Rest first." Steve grabs Kayla's hand, allowing her fiance to sit down.

Steve is concerned with the little things. That attitude made Kayla fall for him, and the man never commented on Kayla's physique at all. Unlike Arden who always gives bad comments on his body shape.

Arden kicked the tire of his car because he was upset to see Kayla. At the age of twenty-seven, he remained in solitude.

"You did it, Kayla. Look at it later, you guys are gonna break up halfway. May my prayers be heard. When you cry because Steve left, then that day I'll laugh" Arden murmured.
