Sunday Afternoon.
"Are you ready?" sahut Selly from outside Marina's room.
"Yes, ma'am" replied Marina who was wearing a maxi dress with floral motifs to make it look bright. Not to forget he also applied makeup thinly. Her natural beauty is reflected. Marina doesn't like to make thick ups. His pink lips look shiny with lipgloss polish. His young age certainly has an attraction for adult men.
Marina cannot change herself to try to look like a grown woman. Marina wears an outfit to adjust her age, so she looks like a lady from the top. The paddocks Marina wore were very suitable and her young age was immediately evident from her fresh appearance.
"Good," Selly's eyes looked at Marina from top to bottom. Sumringah filled his face. Selly knew, her youngest daughter was a submissive child so she believed Marina would not let her down.
"Before we leave, I've prepared this for you." Then Selly handed Marina a bottle of medicine as a means to trap someone she was targeting without feeling guilty. He willingly made his daughter as bait. Cruelness flashed from the look of his eyes.
Marina's hand shook receiving medicine from her mother, how it troubled her conscience. He endured the turmoil of grief in his chest.
'Mom, is this how you use your own daughter?' Marina. Her soul had been empty from this very second, she was like a robot that had to follow instructions when it came to her own life but Marina had given up ever since her foot stepped out of the house.
Marina longs for the warmth of a mother, when Marina never felt it even Marina did not remember. The memories of his life since childhood were bitter. Her mother is unlike most other mothers who are described as loving. What's wrong with him? Marina doesn't know.
The figure of the person walking in front of him was no more like a stranger. Marina lowered her head following her mother's steps with a tightness in her chest.
The Virendra family residence...
Selly and Marina meet the Virendra family, there is a birthday party of the Virendra family's 17th daughter. Selly took advantage of this rare moment because all the important people were gathering.
Right now, he must trap one of the sons of the Virendra family so that he will become one of the respected members of the conglomerate family. The dream of Selly who wants to become a rich family in an instant way will now be realized by forcing Marina as bait to carry out her duties.
Imaged in Marina's mind, the man she would have framed must have been aged and ugly because her mother could not have asked Marina if the choice was good it must have been Rika who would have been the candidate first.
Many rumors spread about the eldest son of the Virendra family who according to the news he had difficulty choosing a partner. From there the assumption emerged in Selly's mind that the eldest son of the Virendra family must be less attractive. This golden opportunity, Selly used to reap profits in a sneaky way that trapped him.
Selly asked Marina to do it. Thirsty for power and treasure poisoned Selly's mind.
From childhood, Marina was treated unfairly by Selly who was kind to her three children. Marina who should always give in to her sisters. Marina is the youngest child but is treated as if she is the eldest child in the family.
They were already at a family party attended by many wealthy and distinguished families. The dress Marina wore was not particularly conspicuous but because of her beauty, her appearance seemed to support that she was the single most charming girl at the party.
Selly glanced from the corner of her eyes to find Marina's appearance was indeed stunning until the men did not wart to continue to look at her without blinking. Deep in the corner of Selly's heart, she envies her own daughter Marina– because Selly is aware her age is old and she is no longer attractive.
"Hi, jeng Selly! How are you?" A woman who is estimated to be the same age as Selly is greeting him.
Surprised by someone, Selly turned his head. "Lho, Jeng Neny was invited as well. It was unexpected that we met at this party," Selly welcomed a greeting from Neny, they were talking cipiki. Marina is accidentally left alone by Selly who is busy greeting her social friends.
This party was attended by socialites and everything was definitely from the upper class. Their appearance is so striking by bearing famous brands attached to his body.
While pretending to drink, Marina gracefully approached the group of young women who were chatting. It was important for her, to know the person she was going to target because Marina had absolutely no idea of that person's face. Armed with only a name, Marina tries to find him.
Marina overhears the conversation of two people behind her.
"Has he not come yet? The show was about to begin, "A middle-aged woman looked anxious.
"Mr Arshaka is still on his way, Nyah. He said he got stuck on the road"
"Well, we'll wait a little while until he comes"
Yes, Marina remembers the name that will be the target is Arshaka Virendra–the eldest son of the Virendra family. He was also waiting for the arrival of the man.
Anxiety enveloped his heart, he was anxious and afraid that his plan would fail. What a nervous Marina, this was the first for her to do such a terrible thing because of the insistence of her mother.
Marina behaves like an arrogant young lady from the upper classes. With her arrogance and resolute face managed to hide her innocent and innocent nature. Armed with her intelligent brain Marina is able to adjust herself.
A few minutes later...
"Dad, Mr. Arshaka said the show continued without waiting for him. He was coming late at night because there was a small incident on the road that required him to take care of it for a while" reported a man in the middle-aged woman who is the mother of Arsakha.
"All right, then. I will not delay this event. My daughter looks impatient"
Hearing that conversation, for some reason there was a bit of relief in Marina's heart. It was a sign that his mother's plan failed, so he could reason that the target did not come.
The birthday party was so good, all the guests were happy.
The night is getting late and the invited guests have gone home except for Selly and Marina. They still hold back before the intention is carried out.
"Mom, it's night. Are we still going to be here?" whisky Marina.
"We can't cancel our plans, do what I tell you. Maybe I'll go home first so no one suspects our cooperation. You should stay here waiting for Mr. Arshaka. Remember your promise"
"Yes, ma'am" Marina said helplessly. Marina is left behind and asked to do the action alone.
Selly is stubbornly still wants instant status without thinking about Marina. Now Marina was resigned and forced to follow the wishes of her mother.
