Trying To Be Faithful

Fiesta

"Where are you going, Pah?" akhtia asked as she saw Raden dressed neatly with his tuxedo.

"There's an invitation from papa's partner. Her son's fiancee's show. You wanna come?"

"Maybe?"

"Can. This invitation is for two people, related papa does not have a wife already you are the one who participated. There, prepare. Wear a pink dress."

"should?"

"Yes." Yeah."

Akhtia looks cute wearing the pink dress that Raden bought her two years ago. The dress she had not used.

Arriving at the ballroom of a hotel, where the event was held, Raden visited his dream, Mr. Alex.

"Good night, Mas Raden. Thank you for coming."

"Together, Sir. Congratulations on the engagement of his son. Good luck until H day."

"That's the youngest, huh, Mas? Beautiful yeah. If only I had a son, I would ask to be a ghost" said Adelia, Alex's wife.

"Auntie can do it." Achtia.

"Please, Mas. The food chip is over there. Please enjoy, if there is less can be directly complain yes."

"Yes, Sir. Of course I'll enjoy the meal."

"Excuse me, Om, Aunt."

"Yes, Son. Please enjoy it."

Akhtia nodded politely.

"Well, if only we had a boy, Mama would want him to be our daughter-in-law. Beautiful, still like a good son." Adelia whispered to her husband.

"Raden's children grew up well even without a mother. Many are after Airlangga as well, just yes .. we know that he is not Raden's biological child."

"Ah, what matters is that the child is good, right? Ngapain ngurusin. For mama the origin of her child responsibility, well, love our child, just ignore the rest."

Alex just smiled at his wife. He again welcomed another guest and forgot the chat about Achtia.

"We just match Pah the same as the papah. Let the rumors of him guy be debunked. How's it?"

"Srst." Alex asked his wife to shut up. However, it seems Adelia already likes the figure of Achtia. Many times he glanced at Akhtia who was eating with Raden.

"Why the hell is Aunt Adelia geliatin I keep? I am not comfortable. Something's wrong with me, Pah."

"No. Just look at his beaming eyes. It means he looks at you with liking and admiration."

"Times?"

Raden nodded confidently.

Suddenly the mood became boisterous. People were whispering while looking at the guest who had just arrived. A successful businessman in the city.

Some of them approached to shake hands and ask for news. However, what makes some people whisper is the woman who is held by the firstborn of the businessman.

"Mahs ... Aunt Hasna." Achtia. He did not believe what he saw. Hasna is holding a young man.

Raden kept the plates of his unfinished meal he had finished. Sipping drinking water because his throat feels dragging.

Hasna realized the existence of Achtia. He smiled at the girl. Hasna desperately wanted to run up to him, but she realized where she was and with whom.

Hasna tried to ignore it even though her eyes were not strong to not glance at Achtia and also Raden.

"Sir Mahendra .. welcome to my party. Glad you could attend. It's an honor for my family, sir."

"Ha ha ha. Don't overdo it, sir. The one whose name is invited must come anyway."

They laugh while shaking hands with each other.

"This is Dewandaru my first child and his future wife, Hasna. That's my second son's Dewindara."

"Hello, Om. It was nice to meet Om. Papih often talks about Om. He said I should be like Om."

"Ha ha ha. You could have."

"Yes, jeng. I mostly go to Arisan and get confused. I took off a few anyway."

Mothers, if they have gathered, the conversation is never far from the gravestones, clothes, jewelry and proud of their children.

"Darling, we'll grab a drink first. You thirsty?"

Hasna nodded.

"Om, Aunt. Excuse me first, my lover is thirsty as it is. Pih, I'll say yes." God says goodbye to everyone. He took Hasna to a different food place with Raden and Akhtia.

"What do you want to drink?"

"Just pickle if there is one."

Hasna stood waiting for Dea to return.

"Darling ...."

The deg!

The sound made Hasna's heart beat unnaturally. Hasna found it difficult to turn her head, until Raden finally walked and stood right in front of her.

"How are you? Why disappear without news? Where have you been all this time? What's hiding in Mahendra's house so I can't find you?"

"Mas .. I'm here as Mahendra's family. I hope you can keep your attitude and speech so that others don't talk bad about us."

"I-"

"Excuse me." Hasna said goodbye to Raden who had not finished saying his words.

Raden clenched his hands in annoyance at himself. He was angry because of his stupidity he lost the most precious thing in this world.

"Akhtia, papa go to the toilet for a second."

"Yes, Pah."

Akhtia stood alone in the middle of a party that many businessmen attended. There were only a few people who were his age but were very far away. Achtia looks like a duckling lost its mother.

Akhtia took the phone from her bag, looking at the clock on her phone. Raden had been gone for almost half an hour and had not returned.

Worried, Akhtia gets out of the ballroom and searches for Raden.

"Mas, sorry. Which guy's toilet is it? I'm looking for my papah."

"Non just turn right, after there is a garden turn left there is a toilet. You see, the toilet here is being repaired, the door is broken."

"Oh yes, thank you, please excuse me."

Akhtia stepped out, walking according to the instructions given by the hotel maid. In a hurry, he did not look around. When turning he accidentally collided with someone to make it fall bounced backwards.

Bruckk!

"ouch!"

"Eh, sorry. You're all right? I'm sorry I didn't see you here."

"What's okay is sick to know.that's why the eyes are used, do not just be done doang display."

"Yes yes sorry. 'But unintentionally, his name was also unintentional."

Erlangga helped Akhtia wake up. The girl rubbed her dress on the back, and rubbed her elbows that hurt because it held her body when she fell.

"Sick vows."

"I'm sorry again. I really didn't mean it, besides you said it's a men's toilet here."

"Papo is a man's business."

Akhtia walked past that person just like that. the one who collided with him who was none other than Dewandaru.

"eh uh stop where you going? that's a guy's toilet for some woi."

Dewandaru pulled Atia's hand which almost went inside the male toilet. So fast Dewandaru pulled Akhtia's hand, again he almost fell. Luckily this time his body did not fall to the floor because Dewandaru immediately caught the body of Akhtia.

For a moment they just kept quiet and looked at each other.
