The Touch of Love Aura

Chapter 29 - Arisan (2)

Aura sat down beside Naya, making her companion become even more curious about the young lady.

"Aduh jeng Naya, meet the young lady sitting next to Jeng Naya dong. Very beautiful," said one of them while praising the beauty of Aura.

"Yes, almost forgot. Sorry yeah. Introduce this Aura, her lover Rendra," said Naya introduced Aura.

"Hello everyone," Aura greeted with a sweet smile.

"Well, I failed to introduce my father to Rendra" said one of them.

Naya simply responded with a smile.

"Where is Stella, by the way? Doesn't he usually not come?" naya asks who didn't see Stella at her house.

"Ah, that .. anu .. duh! How is that clear?" said one of those confused to explain the situation.

Naya gets confused because she doesn't know anything.

"Listen from her neighbor, Stella and her husband will divorce jeng Naya. But it still does not know for sure whether or not it is true. So, we dare not ask him directly. Jeng Naya knows for herself what the Stella is," replied Arisan Naya's friend.

"Ah, so it seems," Naya responded. He does not want to be carried away with the news he heard because it is not certain the truth.

Suddenly a message came into Naya's phone.

Jeng, I'm sorry I haven't been able to show up at the Arisan this time. I just put the money away. I transferred to your account.

Apparently Stella was the one giving the message.

"Even though Stella could not attend, she apparently left the money to me. So we can immediately start to shuffle the name of who appears," said Naya.

The name that appears to be the winner of Arisan is Naya.

"Congratulations Jeng. Well, jeng Naya follows two names have all come out," chirped his friend.

"Yes, thank God, it can be used as savings to open a new branch," said Naya.

"Gee, great! There is one more name that has not won. After that we just talk about it again, want to continue or not the arc."

"Yes, let's look in the future how. Please enjoy, I was helped by prospective ghosts to prepare all this," said Naya who had claimed Aura as her prospective daughter-in-law.

The aura that was considered like that, only felt guilty and unkind.

My God, even if only for a moment I became Rendra's pretend lover. I still feel guilty and I feel like I can no longer afford to lie. How'this? Aunt Naya is very good.

One by one the prepared food is eaten until only a few remain. In between that time, one of them asked about Aura and her background.

"Aura, what do your parents do? The businessperson? Or architects?"

"Dad, I don't know where she is after leaving mom. If you were just a regular trader. But he's dead now" Aura replied without any lies.

The response from Arisan friend Naya was very surprised because Aura seemed to come from an ordinary family which when viewed from the economic status was very much different from the Naya family.

"Then what do you do?" ask one of them again.

Just now that Aura wanted to answer him, Naya instead shifted the conversation to something else.

"Already, don't ask such a thing to Aura. We better just discuss, whose house will be the place of the next Sunday's rally."

"It seems that at my house also can not be jeng because it is still in the renovation stage."

"Try asking Jeng Stella, who knows if it can be at his house" suggested one of them.

"Yes already, in my house again is also okay," said Naya who offered her home back. Of them all continue to reason and end no one will want to make their home as a host.

"Okelah. Indeed in the house of Jeng Naya the most exciting. You see, Naya's children are all grown up and there are busy with their respective careers."

The arisan event is over. Aura again helped Naya to clean up all the dirty dishes and glasses.

It was at that moment that Aura explained her true self to Naya.

The day was getting late, Aura came home from Rendra's house with Rendra escorted. Arriving in front of Aura's house, Rendra continued to be confused by Aura's attitude that seemed different from usual. The aura was usually a little chatty but this time it was just silent. Not a single word came out of Aura's mouth.

"Thank you for dropping off. I went in the house first. Be careful on the road" Aura said, walking towards her house.

Rendra was eager to ask what happened to Aura. However, he paused because Aura had moved away to enter his house. Rendra also did his car while continuing to think on the way home.

"Is there something that happened when I left my mom and Aura with my friend?" rendra wondered.

"You asked me if I had any doubts" added Rendra.

"Ah, stop. Tomorrow as usual."

Yeah, that's how Rendra is. It always brings up something that deals with one's heart. But it was different if it was a matter about his heart. He always tried really.

At a cafe, Elnan and Evan are meeting as best friends instead of working partners. They are used to spending time together, while reminiscing about their teenage years and their respective romance stories.

"Where have you found Meira's replacement?" ask Evan who is straight to the point.

Elnan was unable to answer because in fact, despite having gone all the way to Paris for a year, he still could not get rid of Meira's name in his heart.

"Ah, apparently haven't moved on yet?" said Evan who already knows the answer just by looking at the look on Elnan's face and his gelagat.

"Aren't you supposed to still be sad about breaking up with your boyfriend?" elnan asked who remembered that Evan had broken up with Aura and now the woman was in a relationship with her sister.

At first Evan was very hard-headed with Elnan's words. But he understood instantly. Apparently the man she saw at the restaurant was really Rendra. That means it was Rendra who hired Aura for one week.

"Ah that, yes maybe it's the way it is," said Evan assented it because he did not want Elnan to know that Aura was just his pretend lover.

"Then what now? You don't want to open your heart and find a new partner?" ask Evan to Elnan.

"You don't have to ask that. Obviously, your question suits you too. We better just enjoy this drink and do not discuss women," pinta Elnan because he is afraid to remember again the pain in his heart that has not healed.
