"Sir, are you coming to Miss Lara's birthday?" Raka asked while reading Guntur's daily schedule.
Thunder paused for a moment digesting his assistant's speech nonchalantly.
"Come away!" Replied Guntur cuek continued his work.
"The great lord contacted me to force the master to come." Raka's words made Thunder squint his eyes staring at his assistant coldly.
"You think my job's only about trivial things? Why didn't you offer to come?" Thunders exasperatedly looked at Raka lightly.
He could not refuse the Wicaksana order to make Thunder even more upset, whatever the great lord asked Raka always said everything without lacking anything. That is why the old man always knew Guntur's activities if Raka had his schedule or when Raka joined Guntur every meeting with the client.
"Sorry, my master just reminded me. And it's a pity that I've got my own invitation from Miss Lara." Said Raka while showing the invitation to Thunder as if he was mocking him.
"You haven't given up yet?" Thunder's comments made Raka's face blush.
"A.. What do you mean?" Raka answered nervously.
"Huh .. Your struggle through the old man is very hard." Thunder's comments mocked Raka.
"If indeed we were to mate, the great master would definitely accept me as a son-in-law." Raka answered with confidence.
"Huh.I don't want to think of you as my sister-in-law later." Thunder Ejek.
"Huff." Pinta Raka's.
"I fight for mine it's hard to tell you to help me." Thunder Gum.
"Is there anything you're saying, sir?" Tanya Raka could not hear the muttering of Thunder.
"Find a gift that a girl likes!" Tell Thunder stared fixedly at Raka.
"What do you want?"
"Whatever!"
"How can you give your sister a gift?" Tanya Raka did not accept.
"You're gonna argue with me!" Thunder glared at Raka annoyed.
"Not so, I mean give an idea of something so that I can easily determine it." Raka answered while clearing her throat.
Even though he was like a friend with his boss, he still had fear.
"You know what he likes best, don't you?" Thunder did not look at Raka continuing his work.
"Is the price not a problem?" Thunder glared sharply at Raka.
Raka immediately understood and immediately left his boss room. He often gives gifts to his female clients. It has been a tradition since Wicaksana served as chairman. It automatically also declined on Thunder's leadership as well.
Guntur had rejected the lowly way that meant the bribe but Wicaksana immediately ranted unclear if he did not do hereditary tradition even though it used corporate finance. Thunder had a moment of annoyance and curses the old man.

"You ready?" Ask Nara who was already coming home to the Anin family mansion when she came home from college.
Anin offers Nara to return home to her mansion if they both attend her classmates' birthdays. And Nara agreed to Anin's invitation. After going home from college they were shopping in the mall to find a gift that was worthy of his friend's birthday both decided to go to the skin and face care salon.
Until the time has shown at five o'clock they arrived at the Anin family mansion and changed clothes belonging to Anin.
At sixty-thirty, Anin and Nara leave the family mansion after saying goodbye and get permission from the mommy. Anin drives at moderate speed with the help of a goo*gle map in her car to show the house of Larasati, her birthday friend.
At seven and fifteen minutes they arrived at their destination, many guests had arrived. All guests are dominated by one class of college friends, but there are also from among their seniors who are invited. Also an official invited guest from the business partner of Larasati's parents.
"Are we late?" Anin asked when she saw the guests had filled the sizable mansion.
"So, just a little late I don't think it's a problem." Nara replied while glancing at her watch.
"Is it okay?" Anin asked hesitant to get out of the car.
"Come on! We're here, just tell him we have to find out the address of the mansion first." Answer Nara calmly.
"All right." The two got out of the car and walked in and were greeted by a receptionist and were very friendly.
Fortunately, both of them were wearing party dresses even though they were closed so they were not like the wrong place.
"Happy birthday to Lara!" Anin said when she met Lara between her parents to welcome the arrival of guests not far from the reception.
"Thank you, Nindi, for coming." Lara answered smiling happily.
She receives a cipiki hug from Anin and Nara.
"Oh, no. The show has not started yet. I want to start when my brother comes." Lara looked sad in her eyes.
Anin just nodded affirming Lara. Anin and Nara also greet both of Lara's parents who welcome them kindly.
Anin and Nara went inside to the place where her friends gathered and greeted each other.
"Nindi, are you coming?" A friend asked Anin and Nara.
"I'll definitely come if I'm invited." Sindir Anin firmly.
Everyone feels guilty, because every time they party never invited Anin. Because they believe Anin must have refused because she felt uncomfortable with her guards first. Anin and Nara were ready to go to the place where the food took soft drinks.
***
The show's host also started the show. One by one the event was passed. When you sing a birthday song. The look on Lara's face that was forced to smile despite the looks of disappointment in her eyes twinkled. And a girl also stood next to Lara who made Anin stare at the girl who felt familiar, but Anin forgot who and where they had met.
Anin did not have time to think again because of the sounding of another birthday in the party room. And he sang it too.
The candle blow event continued with the cake cutting event, Lara seemed to stare towards the entrance as if waiting for someone to attend her birthday event.
"She's like waiting for someone?" Anin asked seeing Lara's unease.
"Ah, maybe her brother. He said he would start his show when his brother came. There's no way that girl's her sister, there's nothing like her." Nara's Comments.
"Ah, you're right."
Until finally the candle blow event, cut the cake and continue the meal together freely make the guests walk towards the place where the food is placed. Including Anin and Nara were in line.
***
Less than an hour, the event, someone present very late because there was an impromptu meeting that he had to attend made his assistant cuss at being late to attend the birthday party of the person he likes secretly.
"Sister's coming?" Lara smiled as she approached Guntur, who at that time came in a formal suit of his office suit that still looks handsome even though he has not changed clothes since morning.
"Happy birthday." Said Thunder handing over a square box of that mini size.
Lara received the box with a happy heart. One kiss on Lara's forehead made the girl blush blush in embarrassment as her brother dyed her in front of the crowd. Lara was very happy, even she was willing not to be given any gifts as long as she was given a warm kiss on her forehead.
"Happy birthday, miss." Raka who held out her gift after Thunder stepped aside gave space to her assistant.
"Thank you, Raka." Lara replied smiling as well although not as enthusiastic as receiving a greeting and gift from her stepbrother.
Thunder did not look at his parents at all. Like he didn't see her there.
"You're meeting the guests of our business partners!" The Wicaksana half whispered in a cold tone.
Thunder just let out a heavy breath. Lick again? Inner Thunder was upset. Thunder followed his father's steps to meet the invited guests of his parents' business partners as well as himself one by one, Thunder's lips until annoyed at having to pretend to smile in front of them.
Thunder just wanted to escape let alone see the girl he did not expect was struggling affectionately in his arms making Thunder more and more careless.
"Can you let go for a second?" Thunder Whispers stared at Alea sharply, despite having to turn his face again at the guest with his million-watt smile.
"You'll run if I don't hold on." Alea replied with a smile looking at the guests her fiance met.
Thunder was getting even more careless to see the bullying the girl was doing.
The host again announced something until all the guests looked back at the short stage where the cake was blowing.
There's Lara's parents lined up, Lara, Thunder and his fiancee were in the middle between Alea and Lara who were both patting her body but Thunder had to still show her sweet smile in front of the invited guests.
His eyes widened as his eyes met that very familiar person in front of him. A girl he knew very well and missed so much these days. But not the smile that was obtained from the girl, instead the girl turned her face unwilling to look at her.
It was as if they did not know each other, and there were also expressions of disappointment and heartache from the look in his eyes. What Guntur realized was that the eyes were foggy and Thunder was sure soon tears would fall on his cheeks. Especially when the host announced about his engagement to Alea.
Thunder wanted to run towards the girl, because Anin, yes Anin was the girl. The girl who a few days ago has officially become her lover. Anin further retreated from the event choosing to avoid the gaze of Thunder who was looking at her in surprise.
Until after the talk of the host is done. Thunder instantly released Alea's hand, not caring about anything. Even the greetings of the guests were ignored which made Raka inevitably entertain the guest until they were not upset.
Anin put her glass of juice on the table where she took it. But Anin had not yet stepped out the door. A hand pulled him firmly towards the kitchen it seemed. Because many waiters were pacing around carrying trays filled with food.
"Take me off!" Ronta Anin when the burly hands just drag her small body until she has difficulty walking even impressed dragged.
