THE ENTERTAINER
CHAPTER 48 (END)
The beautiful dangling dress is bone white with embroidery ornaments all over the fabric, steps that are always accompanied by exhaling filled with nervousness, and music that accompanies the step, as well as music that accompanies the step, making Naya barely able to distract her from the man who was already waiting for her up ahead. A handsome face with a white tuxedo, stood waiting for him. There was a smile full of joy on that handsome face.
As Naya gets closer, Noah extends his hand and Naya welcomes her. Noah kissed the back of the cold hand.
After saying their sacred promise, a boisterous clap was heard along with Noah's approaching face and a brief kiss on the lips of the woman who was now his wife.
After the sacred event, they had dinner together. Clara who came with Alvin approached Naya who immediately embraced him.
“Thank you for coming, Ra.”
“I promised, right?”
Naya breaks her embrace, then extends her hand to greet Alvin.
“Halo, Vin, how are you?”
Alvin smiled in welcome. “Slightly heartbroken.”
Clara immediately nudged Alvin's arm while smiling awkwardly.
Noah, who was talking to Calvin, turned to look at Naya who was shaking hands with Alvim with a smile. Noah immediately leaves Calvin and stands beside Naya.
“Feelings, I just invited Clara.”
Now replace Naya who elbowed Noah's arm while smiling awkwardly.
“Sorry, Sir. Alvin just drove me. I have to come back early tomorrow morning, and there are no inter-city buses operating so early,” Clara replied unwell.
“You can say it, I can have the driver drive you back.”
“Noah, stop. Alvin is also my friend.” Naya whispered a little.
“What is this? Why is it like in a haunted house?” Calvin came to melt the atmosphere.
“Calvin, meet, these are my friends, Clara and Alvin,”.
Calvin suddenly looked at Clara. Her bright face with thin but not excessive makeup, as well as her shoulder-length black hair made her hypnotized by the face of the beautiful woman.
“I'm Clara.”
“Beautiful,” Calvin muttered involuntarily.
“Sorry?”
“Oh, I mean, I'm Calvin. Nice to meet you.”
Calvin pulls Clara's hand and wants to kiss the back of it, but Naya immediately lets go.
“Calvin, he's my best friend. Don't play it,” threatened Naya.
“I won't be possible.”
“OK alright, it seems like everyone in this place already has a partner. I have to drink something to clear my mind.” Alvin then walked away, towards one of the tables that provided low-alcohol drinks.
Noah followed. Leaving Naya, Clara and Calvin to talk.
“I haven't said it and actually I don't want to say it. But, I thank you, because thanks to you, Naya could have a job back then.”
Alvin smiled wryly. “No need to thank. I did it because I was interested in Naya.”
“OK. Now I regret saying it. Enjoy your dinner and go home.”
“Master Noah.” The emphasis seems to be on the mocking. “I'm really interested in Naya, therefore, I hope you don't hurt her.”
Alvin is smiling a little. “I'm glad to hear it.”
Noah then turned and left Alvin who had finished his drink with a flat face.

“NAYA!” yelling someone from a distance, Naya and Noah stop their steps.
“Clara? What was? I thought you were back this morning.”
Clara managed to catch her breath as she ran very strongly to look for Naya and Noah before entering the departure gate.
“Untung is still hunted. Here, I forgot to give you a wedding gift.” Clara thrusts out a small square box.
“Ra, you don't need.”
Naya opened the box. There was a silver bracelet bearing her name, Clara, and also Rose. Now Naya's eyes were a little heated up, and she hugged her best friend tightly.
“I'm sorry for having to go, Ra.” Naya's tears are flowing.
“No... don't talk like that. I'm happy to see you happy, Na.” Clara's tears have fallen.
“Thank you for being friends with me, thank you for holding my hand at all my worst times, Ra. I ... couldn't have survived if I hadn't met you.”
Clara tightened her embrace, calming the sobbing Naya down. “I'm always grateful too, Na. You saved me from that dark world. You know, don't you think I love you so much?”
Naya nodded strongly. “I know. I love you too, Ra.”
An echoing voice from the loud voice informs Naya and Noah's next flight to France.
Clara parsed her embrace, after wiping her tears. Although his lips were smiling, but his heart knew, maybe this was his last meeting with Naya.
“Cabuse me, Na. I will always wait for your news.”
“Pasti.”
Noah approached, embracing Naya who was still crying. “Get yourself, Clara. If you need anything, call this number. He will help you, anytime.” Noah handed him a business card with his company logo.
“Thank you, Mr. Noah.”
Noah rubbed Naya's shoulders along with the steps of those who entered the departure gate. While Clara continued to wave her hand with tears falling down again.
Shortly before they completely disappeared from his sight, Naya turned around with a smile full of happiness, then returned Clara's longing.
Clara who was still standing in her place even when Naya and Noah were completely out of sight again, smiled full of relief. Naya, a weak woman who is so fragile, has now found her happiness. Naya's frightened face when she first saw him in the dim room, has now been replaced with a face full of happiness there. Probably true, a sentence he had read somewhere.
...“In fact, if you are enveloped in darkness, remember there will always be light. You just have to hold on, until the light comes over and saves you.”...
