The Love That Is Taken

The Love That Is Taken
Dispute at Buffet Event



“Taste good yes, Mas,” praise Theresia while sitting enjoying a meal with her husband. Jonathan nodded. Buffet banquets are held in a large hall located next to the worship room. Rosa and her husband looked happy. Together they approached the guests and greeted them in turn.


“Thank you for your presence, Mr. Jonathan, Theresia. This is Bernard. My husband,” said Rosa friendly. His face looked radiant. Her bridal make-up really accentuated her beauty. A bone white wedding dress decorated with matching brocade adds to its elegance. The dress intersects simply, just following the wearer's slender and long body curves only to the ankles.


Perhaps Rosa feels too old to wear a dress that is striking on her wedding day. But the choice is just right. She looked so graceful alongside the big tall groom and wore a black bridal suit. Bernard, the husband, smiled kindly as he extended his hand teaching Jonathan and Theresia to shake hands. The couple put down their food plates for a moment and greeted the groom in turn.


Then Theresa hugged the bride. “Congratulations yes, Aunt Rosa,” she said sincerely. “May her marriage last.”


“Thank you very much, There. I want to be like you guys who have been married for a long time. There are ten years, huh?”


Theresia nodded. Then the husband greeted Rosa to congratulate her. “Pak Jon, if later Karin makes a mistake in his work, please be reprimanded is okay,” message the bride in earnest. “For his own good...”.


“Good, Miss Rosa,” replied the boss while nodding in agreement. “But I think Mom has been guiding her well for a month and a half. He will not make a fatal mistake.”


“Thank God then, sir,” cetus Rosa is relieved. Meanwhile Theresia silently grimaced and complained inwardly. Why would Aunt recommend such a beautiful girl to be Mas Jon's secretary? I'm so confused now how to get rid of that girl from my husband. Not good with Aunt Rosa who has been working faithfully in the office for a long time, the woman complained in her heart.


“Please relish the dish, Mr. Jon, There. Sorry if it is too simple, yes,” said Rosa please be advised.


“Enak once did his meal, Aunt,” says Theresia honestly.


“Thank you, There. We excuse you for a moment, would like to say hello to Mr. Simon and Miss Mila there.”


Theresa and her husband nodded. The couple then stepped out of them. They were about to approach Simon and his wife, who were picking dishes at the buffet table.


After his plate and There's plate are empty, Jonathan offers to grab a dessert.


“Where is your dirty plate, dear. Let me give you back,” pinta the husband. Theresia thrust out her plate and stacked Jonathan on her own plate. Next the man went to a table at his own end and on it was a large basket filled with dirty dishes.


After putting the dishes he brought into the basket, Jonathan then turned to a table some distance away where there were various desserts. He took two bowls and two small spoons. Suddenly a familiar female voice was heard.


“That moss pudding is delicious. Fruit tarts are also yummy. I ate earlier. It's take again.”


Jonathan looked up and saw Mina smiling in front of him. “Eh, hello, Min. Your appearance is so different. I barely recognized you in the prayer room,” the man's comment was straightforward.


His friend nodded. He was busy choosing cakes that looked good to his wife. Meanwhile the woman in front of him is still busy talking to herself, “Today also looks different, right? Kudandani that even looks more beautiful and younger. I myself was surprised to see the results..”.


“Mas Jon really long? Who is this guy?” asked a voice suddenly interrupted Mina's words. Both Jonathan and Mina gasped to see a woman suddenly burst into conversation. Apparently theresia. Her face pouted showing a displeased feeling of seeing her husband conversing with another woman.


Mina soon mastered the situation. “Oh, hello Theresia. I'm Mina, Jonathan's High School friend. We met at a movie theater a few months ago. Remember that, huh?”


The one asked was amazed. Is this Mina? Didn't Mas Jon say his hair is now floppy and painted purple? How is this long, straight, and black? his mind is full of questions. He saw the young woman in front of him from head to toe.


Mina who was a little careless was stared at in such a way trying to smile kindly and say politely, “Oh, maybe you don't recognize me huh, There? At that time my hair was short and painted blonde. Now I paint it in black to politely attend the wedding in church.”


“But your hair is really long?” tanya Theresia while pointing at Mina's hair that was as long as her back.


“Hehehe. Let it look more elegant I wear a hair extension. It will be long if you wait for yourself.”


Suddenly, Theresa felt so stupid. Why didn't it occur to her that Mina was connecting her hair instantly like that? He himself had once done it.


Karin who was in a daze looking for Mina suddenly saw her make-up artist. Then he walked closer to her.


“Mbak Mina is here, after all. I've been looking for it. Oh, hello, Miss Theresia,” said the girl innocently while smiling sweetly at Jonathan's wife whose heart was not feeling well. Why did this girl suddenly appear in front of me? he said it in his heart. My business with Mimin is not over yet.


“You're Karin, right?” tanya Theresia with a sour face. He did not like to see how young and beautiful this girl standing before him was. The girl who accompanied my husband all day at the office! with feelings of jealousy.


Karin who could not read the feelings of his boss' wife nodded and replied innocently, “Iya, Bu Theresia. I'm Karin, secretary to Mr. Jonathan.”


“I know you're my husband's secretary, Aunt Rosa's replacement. Just I didn't know you were good friends with this woman,” Theresia said fiercely as she pointed towards Mina. Jonathan who had a bad premonition immediately took his wife and said half in whisper, “Let's go, we're eating a desert. Look, I've got you some. We sit back at the place, yuk.”


Theresia looked at her husband sewot, “Why the hell, go along with everything! I'm not done talking to Karin and Mimin. Afraid, am I talking to them? What's the matter? Nothing you hide.”


The sentences spoken by Theresia loudly immediately attracted the attention of those who were near the buffet table. Jonathan, who was embarrassed that the guests were mostly his attendants in the office, looked at his wife with pleading eyes.
