Night falls and Rara is ready to go to the anniversary of the Alexander company branch. Tonight also Rara appears different wearing a cream-colored dress made of very soft satin. The sleeveless dress made the skin of her shoulders and arms clearly visible. To minimize the eyes of the opposite sex, Rara stroked her hair that she made to expand with the help of a salon makeup artist she had called before.
Her legs were wrapped in a colored stiletto in her dress. With natural makeup and accentuating the shape of her eyes, Rara looks more beautiful.
The door was knocked on and Alvin walked inside in a white blazer suit that made him look more handsome. Rara had to remind herself that Alvin was younger than her and that only her body was as tall as an electric pole.
"Is he ready?" Alvin stared at Rara's performance from top to bottom, "Beautiful. Good idea you're raking your hair like that. So his shoulders won't look too big."
"Thank you for the compliment." Reply Rara.
"Together, my dear."
"Vin, tickle the horror!"
Alvin laughs. He stretched out his hand and Rara welcomed. The two of them then walked out of the room after Rara took the silver-colored clutch on her dresser.
"Oh yes, I'm still curious, why would I be part of Alexander?"
"I can't tell you yet, after all, it has to do with the family's long history." Alvin.
They both got to the front, a car was waiting for them and Martin who will be their driver tonight. Alvin opens the car door for Rara, after the girl enters, Alvin also enters through the door on the other side of the car.
"What's your family's history throughout?" Rara is still curious.
"Enough to put you to sleep and not wake up until the sun comes up." Alvin.
"Yeee ..."
"Later on," said Alvin smiling, "I'll tell you everything."
"Promise, huh? So if there's anything, I'll be ready for something to happen." Rara.
"For that one I won't let it happen" Alvin patted Rara's hand, "Because if anyone tries to harm you, their head will be hollow for less than a second."

The anniversary event of the company branch was held in the ballroom of one of the most luxurious hotels in South Jakarta. The car that brought Alvin and Rara into the hotel area, Rara had seen some famous Indonesian artists and celebrities who seemed to be invited to this event.
He also saw Kevin's car and its owner walking towards the lobby.
Martin goes down first and opens the door for Alvin then Rara. Mata Rara saw the other guests coming while holding the couple. There are some that do come alone, but the rest are paired.
"Ra, what's wrong with you?" alvin asked, who was by his side.
"It's okay. Just realized that only the guests who come together with all." Celtuk Rara origin.
Alvin frowned and then laughed. He also grabbed Rara's hand and led her into the lobby. There they are both greeted by Albert, who seems to be waiting for his son's arrival.
"Daddy's not in the ballroom?" alvin asked as his father greeted him in the lobby.
"Wait for you and Rara to come. Not good Daddy comes alone, later people think Daddy's single ngenes, right?"
Rara gnashed. Albert turned out to have a sense of humor that is enough to make twitches at the corners of his lips lifted. He had only met Albert a few times, but never knew his in-laws could speak this way.
Following the times, right? I don't know. But Rara was happy to have in-laws like Albert.
The middle-aged man looked at Rara and smiled sweetly, "Welcome to your first event as Alexander, Ra. Come on, let's take the elevator to the ballroom."
Rara nodded and followed the two of them into the elevator along with about three other people who seemed to be heading towards the same floor as them.
The soft clinking sound and the open elevator door made Rara reverberate. They stepped out and passed through a rather long corridor. Two men stood in front of a double door. When they saw their arrival, the two men opened the door and Rara could see a ballroom that was filled with people who came, including invited guests.
Alvin suddenly clasped Rara's hand tighter and made the girl stare at Alvin's face, "Why, Vin?"
"It's okay. In Dalem ntar do not let you separate from me. As much as possible stay near me or Daddy." Alvin's Message.
Again Rara just nodded even though she did not fully understand what Alvin said.
Their arrival was greeted by the MCs who were on stage. Applause was heard as they entered the ballroom. Many faces that Rara did not recognize, but she could see Kim's father sitting with his pal who was now wearing a bright red blouse and cotton pants that accentuated his masculine side.
Kim and her father were invited. That fact made Rara a little relieved because she saw one person she knew was in this place.
The three of them sat at a table right next to the stage. As the MCs returned to talk, a waiter came up to them and served them food. Rara had noticed the female MC who was talking and then looked at the food in front of her.
I don't know why she doesn't feel good.
"Then, let's listen to a welcome from Albert Alexander as the president director of the Alexander Group!"
That speech made Rara blink. Albert stood up from his chair and headed for the stage. Rara also noticed her in-laws giving a speech that inaugurated the opening of the event tonight and congratulated the branch of her company that has stood for more than two years. Occasionally Albert would throw jokes that were answered by the guests who attended.
"It feels different, huh?" alvin said suddenly, making Rara's head turn.
"What does it mean differently?" ask the girl.
"Daddy at work and when at home," Alvin put his shoulders together, "He hardly ever comes home except for events like this. Usually he oversees the company from his London center."
"Oh yeah .., Alexander's company is from London, yes," said Rara, "Are you going to move to London too, Vin?"
"That's not confirmed yet. Besides Indonesia, I also lead branches in China and Korea. Who knows if I'm transferred to one of those countries, and of course you'll come, Ra." Alvin.
Rara nodded. He truly realized that the one he married was the sole heir of an already worldwide company. Of course, the obligation can be greater than others ...
"Will anyone come after me later?" ask Rara more to herself.
He was well aware of what the risks were if he married someone important. Since childhood, he and Darren have been trained by his father to deal with any situation when it is tied to someone, including the dangers that will be faced if later who will be their partner are important people who have many enemies.
"Let's just, Ra," said Alvin, "I've often said you don't have to worry about that."
"I'm just thinking about the possibilities, Vin." Rara replied.
"Yes, I know, really. Just don't need to get to it. Tonight seems safe anyway. There's no sign yet that anyone is going to stop and take you away."
"What do you mean in the box? You think I'm rice, so you're wearing it?" sulcan Rara.
"You're petite, Ra. No need to put on a rope, a sack so."
Rara shook her head. Alvin's sense of humor still exists.
Albert finished giving his welcome and returned to their place. The MCs then leave the next event to the musicians who have been hired to play the music as long as they eat the dishes available at their respective tables. The MC also said that after this they could chat in the next room where snacks and light cakes were available as chatting friends.
"After this, I'm going to get to know everyone here" said Alvin, "Don't sleep, Ra."
"No. I used to attend this event like Darren or Papa." Reply Rara.
Alvin smiled faintly. He ate his meal while his eyes looked in one direction, at someone who stared back at him with a hostile look.
