That Other Woman... I

THE WLIA 43

Abhimanyu was still visibly shocked to see the woman being congratulated by the invited guests after she stepped off the stage. One by one entrepreneurs from the young to the old approached Laras. How not, besides the appearance of Laras who was indeed very charming tonight, everyone was also amazed by him. Because he is still very young, 21 years old. He was already the CEO of such a big company in the city of D. Of course, many people suddenly became admirers tonight.

Dipa who disguised herself as uncle Laras since then also continued to pay attention to Abhimanyu who looked very shocked and it was clearly visible from Abhimanyu's attitude that was like a confused person. Dipa directly approached Laras who had been busy serving congratulations and handshakes from other businessmen who attended the event.

"Stop smiling here, your target is there!" whispered Dipa to Laras who was still busy answering the questions of the entrepreneurs one by one.

The businessmen were like journalists who had asked Laras from where? whose child? how many years has the company been established? is he intending to open a branch and work with one of the entrepreneurs who are in this exact spot. All of those questions were not all answerable, because he had not yet answered the questions of one person, the others had already asked him again. Anwar who had tried to bring Laras from the crowd was also very difficult to bring Laras from there.

"Sorry gentlemen, I am Indri's uncle. If you have any questions, let me answer!" said Dipa who immediately asked Anwar to bring Laras backstage.

After Laras arrived backstage, he immediately sat on a sofa there.

"Geez, I'm so nervous. Are they businessmen or journalists?" asked Laras who did not expect he would be welcomed as horrendous.

"Miss, I'll leave you. Pretending to lower your head, the man is near. When you feel there are footsteps coming in, just like Mr. Dipa said. Pretend it's me you're asking to get some water to drink!" anwar told Laras what he should do because Abhimanyu was walking towards them.

Hearing the sound of footsteps getting closer. Anwar quickly left Laras. As instructed by Anwar, Laras lowered his head. Pretend that he feels dizzy because of the crowd in the ballroom earlier.

Abhimanyu stepped slowly. His heart kept saying that the woman he had seen was Laras. Even though the woman said her name was Indri and it came from the city of D. But Abhimanyu's feeling was that the woman was Laras' wife. But his move became doubtful because he also could not rule out that Laras could not be a CEO of a company that has been established since five years ago. Abhimanyu is like a confused person. His eyes were red, a sense of tightness so felt in his chest made it even more difficult to breathe. In addition to these few days, his health is not good.

Deg deg deg

Abhimanyu's heart skipped a beat as he reached the room backstage. A woman was sitting while twitching her head and looking down.

Abhimanyu's steps are getting slower, but he keeps stepping.

Hearing the sound of footsteps. Laras immediately pretended that it was Anwar.

"Geez Anwar, hurry up! why is your road so long. Just take a drink should it be that long...?" asked Laras who looked directly at Abhimanyu.

Actually Laras was eager to rush over to step closer towards Abhimanyu and hit him with all his might. The man has caused father, friend, and even his future son to die. Laras really wanted to spill his anger on Abhimanyu. But Laras held all that and stood up, pretending to be surprised as Dipa had instructed.

"Oh, sorry. I thought you were my assistant. Oh my God where is Anwar? my throat is so dry!" laras said, then walked closer to Abhimanyu.

The closer the heart of Abhimanyu the faster it beats. But unfortunately Laras did not approach Abhimanyu, but he passed her.

"Clearned!" call Abhimanyu with teary eyes.

Laras stopped his steps, but not because he felt called by Abhimanyu. The barrel stopped because Anwar was already in front of him.

Abhimanyu who had heard the woman's footsteps stopped even closed his eyes at a glance.

He thought after he called the name Baras he stopped, it meant that the woman was really Laras.

"Anwar, why take a drink for so long!" complains of Laras on Anwar.

"Sorry lady, you called me for a moment!" reply Anwar.

Abhimanyu turned around, his heart was broken and disappointed that the woman had stopped not because of her call but because her assistant had arrived.

Abhimanyu immediately turned around, but unfortunately Laras and Anwar had already walked away from there. Abhimanyu rubbed his face rough. He was sitting limp on the sofa that was sitting on Laras.

"I must have been out of my mind thinking that woman was Laras... Baras.I miss you so much!" lirih Abhimanyu who immediately leaned his head that felt very dizzy on the back of the sofa and closed his eyes.

Meanwhile Laras who was outside the ballroom walking along with Anwar approached Dipa who had first come out of the ballroom.

"How's it?" ask Dipa who was so curious about what happened.

Laras just kept quiet while sighing. It was actually very hard for him to face again with Abhimanyu who had filled his heart with resentment and heartache. But Laras had already agreed to take this path, he could not retreat anymore. Moreover, he always remembered Hendro's story about what happened to Wulan and his family. This makes Laras want to immediately destroy Sarah and her mother.

"As you have predicted! mr. Abhimanyu looks so shocked!" anwar replied because Laras was silent.

"Good! I'm sure tomorrow he'll come looking for you Laras!" said Dipa who was so sure.

While Baras was still silent.

"Then what should I do?" ask Laras.

"Be like someone who has never known Abhimanyu, I know you can!" dipa.

Laras just sighed. But he nodded his head slowly.

"I see, can I go back to my room now?" tanya Laras and Dipa nodded her head.

Baras rushed straight to the elevator to return to his room. When the barn got into the elevator. Dipa said to Anwar.

"Keep watching Anwar, take care of him, lest something bad happen to him!" dipa orders Anwar to keep Laras.

"Okay sir!" reply Anwar.
