...It's sad when you realize that you're not as important as someone as you thought before....

AN HOUR EARLIER.
Allura smiled satisfied looking at her performance tonight. She is beautiful like a classy woman. Entering the final trimester of pregnancy, Allura still looks trendy at every event.
Allura appeared classy by choosing lace dress cream shades owned by the brand bellbee. It is more elegant with black clutch bag and mules shoes with matching colors. Allura's look is more complete with flawless makeup and simple hairdo that makes it more radiant.Β The dress really does fit the theme tonight, a birthday event with Smith's extended family and other high-ranking officials that her father-in-law had deliberately invited.
He had not forgotten to carry a small bag in his hand. The steps of his heels echoed and made him the center of attention. Allura circulated her gaze, looking for Margaretha.
"Mother Allura" Margaretha held out her hand. He ran over when he saw the beautiful woman standing in the hotel lobby.
"You're Margaret, huh?" allura asked smilingly and stepped closer towards the beautiful girl.
Margaret lowered her head. "Truly ma'am. I ordered Mrs Smith to pick you up in the lobby."
"Have you waited a long time?"
"I just got off, ma'am."
"Have my husband come?" Allura asked as she tucked her hair behind her ear.
"The director's not here yet. Please come through here, ma'am." Margaret took Allura to the VIP room of the restaurant in the hotel.
"Everything ready?"
"Already mom. I have confirmed my return to the hotel for twelve guests. And I make sure you'll love your birthday party."
Allura smiled and continued to step with her back straight and firm steps. It's not like a pregnant person. Using heels that are about 7 cm high.
"Has Smith's guest arrived?" Tanya Allura continued to step forward looking with her graceful steps.
"Some of them have arrived and are now in conversation with Mr and Mrs Smith. They're waiting for your arrival ma'am." Margaret returned to.
Again Allura could not hide her happy smile. He had just had a birthday party like this. Not to mention, Allura got the diamond ring gift she had wanted all along.
At the turn, Allura was still glued when he saw Harry leaning his back against the wall while smoking his cigarette. He took a deep breath while squeezing the small bag he had in his hand.
"Thank you, Margaret, you've been bothered to pick me up. Now you can go." Allura said softly.
"Huh? Mean ma'am?"
"You can go."
Allura's eyes crossed sharply as he saw Harry smiling as he waved his hand.
"Why Harry could be here." Allura growled in heart.
"Sorry mom. I'll have to get you to the room."
Allura stopped her steps, giving Margaret the best smile. "I can do it myself, thanks for the attention."
Margaret finally gave. "Good ma'am. Then excuse me first."
Not yet Margaret got confirmation, Allura had already stepped up quickly to leave the woman.
TUK TUK TUK
His heart rate was hit hard. He squeezed his cold hand. His meeting with Harry was a nightmare for him. He didn't want the Smiths to know what his old life was like.
"Now come with me," said Allura pressed down on his every word, it was obvious that he was so angry.
Harry smiled following Allura's steps. He stopped his steps when he felt safe and there was no one.
Allura looked straight and did not look at Harry. He gave himself time to be as calm as possible. After exhaling a deep breath, Allura began to speak. "Why are you here?"
Harry smiled as he looked at Allura's waistline. His eyes flashed sharply and clearly in his eyeballs showing a flash of anger. "I've come to wish you a happy birthday" Harry replied as he was.
Allura gave a rough snort, he pulled as much oxygen from his mouth and nose and collected it in his lungs, then exhaled all at once.
"Did you deliberately embarrass me? You can call me by phone and not have to come here" Allura said in a furious tone. He could no longer manage his words to speak softly to Harry, He was already too upset by his brother's attitude.
"Why are you angry, I should be angry, Allura. You didn't pick up my call." Harry protested with an unhappy look.
"I don't have time to answer your phone. At the end of the day, you just ask for money. You are never satisfied with the money I give you. Now you're home, before my patience runs out."
"I came with Allura's good intentions. Can't you see my sincerity?"
"No need, I don't even want to see your face. You know, Alvin accepted me. Not because your presence is all so messed up." Allura growled. He began to care about Harry's character.
"My goal is to get here, because Alvin is figuring out who bought the house and the estate we sold the other day." Harry finally came out.
Allura was silent at his position, as if locked and unable to move. His face turned anxious. Allura swallowed her saliva so hard like something was stuck in her throat.
"What do you mean?" His voice stuck to his neck. His tongue was as thick as a snake. She clutched her own dress.
I swear, at this time Allura's face turned pale when Harry said that. His mind was immediately fucked. If Alvin finds out that he sold it. Alvin would hate it. Cold sweat started to wet his forehead.
Seeing the reaction of Allura's body, Harry caught his breath. "Just calm. If I get caught, I won't take your name."
Allura's tense face, suddenly softened. He exhaled a sigh of relief, "Good, lest Alvin know of the matter. For a while, go far away. I'll transfer your living expenses for the next few months."
Harry smiled meaningfully. "alright. I'm waiting for the transfer."
"Now go!" Allura pushed Harry's body. "Never come back."
"Happy birthday to Allura."
Instead of answering, Allura even made a gesture of expelling. When Harry actually got into the elevator. Allura could only exhale a sigh of relief. He reorganized his performance and returned to the VIP room to meet his family.

Tap...
But...!
Allura lowered her footsteps right in front at the door of the VIP restaurant. He clamped his lips, curtly arranging his hair. He smiled as he opened the door.
THE CZECH!
Door opens.
Seeing Allura's arrival, the guests there instantly woke up from his seat. Luke and Mary stood up from their seats and went straight towards Allura.
"Happy birthday, dear," Maria approached and hugged Allura briefly.
"Thank you mom. Shouldn't bother preparing all this." Allura smiled shyly.
"It doesn't matter honey, what matters is that you're happy." Said Maria rubbing Allura's arm gently.
Lukas smiled, stretched out his hand to shake his daughter-in-law's hand. He also said the same thing.
"Happy birthday. Nice to meet you." Said one of the guests there.
Allura walked back to greet the other invited guests. Finished shaking hands, while waiting for Alvin's arrival. They talk about business, which is rife in conversation or other opinions related to investment, capital, markets that are synergistic with it. They look serious.
"Why hasn't Alvin come yet?" Ask Luke in between their conversation.
"Maybe it's still in dad's way."
"Yes right, try calling Allura again." Maria looked worried.
"Good ma'am." Allura stepped away from the invited guests. He tried to contact Alvin, but was not picked up.
TWENTY MINUTES HAVE PASSED.
Alvin's not coming. Allura repeatedly took a deep breath while looking at the clock in her hand. The invitees also seemed to be getting restless. The meal hour had already passed by twenty minutes.
Maria and Luke try to contact Alvin. But still not lifted. Suddenly the door opened that appeared was not Alvin, but Marvel.
Luke scrunched his forehead. "Where's Alvin?"
Marvel bent his body. "I'm sorry before, sir. Today Mr. Alvin cannot come because there is a sudden affair that cannot be left."
Allura's face instantly changed, "No way. Alvin said he could come. Why can't it suddenly come? Don't make up your story."
"Sorry lady, this is really sudden."
"At least he called me." Allura still could not believe it. "How can Alvin not come to such an important event."
"Mr Alvin just dropped this." Marvel gave a small red box to Allura.
Maria was worried. Because this incident was repeated at the wedding of Alvin and Allura. Suddenly Alvin disappeared and this incident was like fishing his memory back. "Where's Alvin now?"
"Sorry lady. Mr. Alvin is currently on his way out of town."
"What's? He can leave after this show is over. Is he crazy?" Luke couldn't cover his disappointment. He locked his eyes on Marvel. "You're not lying, are you?"
Marvel lowered his head quickly. "I dare not do that, sir."
Luke returned his thoughts. He could not get angry in front of the guests who were already present there. "alright. About Alvin, we'll talk about it. Now how about we eat. Poor guests are already on hunger." Lukas said he approached his invited guests again and offered an apology.
"Alvin couldn't come because there was a sudden affair. Please enjoy the banquet." said Lukas smiling kindly. His hands invited those who were there to enjoy the dinner tonight.
Allura just remained petrified there without saying anything. He's not excited anymore. There was pain clutching his chest. It was like a big hand squeezing his heart broke intentionally. His heart felt torn to shreds hearing the word could not come.
Allura squeezed her hands tightly, wanting to cry but she couldn't do that. The disappointment of his heart could no longer be described. He took out one of his breaths which came out unstable from his mouth.
"What's wrong with Alvin, does he know that I sold the estate?" He closed his eyes and held his breath for a moment. Allura immediately took a deep breath and swallowed his saliva. Trying to be calm, but his jaw tightened. He immediately came out to take his phone to make a call, but Alvin's phone was not active.
