Your wealth is destroying my family
Chapters. 17
The Grand Ballroom at the Fairmont Hotel. Ichigo did not stop smiling throughout his birthday event which carries the theme of a fairyland. Unlike his friends who wear costumes in the style of princes and princesses of fairyland, Ichigo chose to be a fairy costume that will grant all requests of princes and princesses.
Blue, Sora, Natsuki and Andre who accompanied were no less excited. They wear costumes according to the theme. While Keyko and Amaya they just sit and observe from afar.
"Tante .. "Rengek Arini stomping his feet. He is upset to see the interaction between Blue and Sora.
Indira and Raya compactly massaged her temple. Despite being explained many times and asked to be patient, Arini still acts like a child.
"Persaturlah Arini. We'll embarrass him at the parent's special reception later. Just a few more minutes. Be patient." Indira said while suppressing his cocky taste.
"I can't wait anymore. I'll pull Sora from there." Sahut Arini's.
"do it. Then Hasan will come pulling your head out of your neck. Can't you see there's a lot of kids from influential people in this room? What if they complain?" Ask Indira.
"They're just kids. What can they say." Arini won't lose.
Indira clenched her hands tightly while cursing in her heart.
"But their babysitter is not a child." Raya Saying. "Don't be rash." Another imbibing.
Arini looked around the ballroom. He was upset because what Indira and Raya said was true. Finally Arini returned to her room with a bad feeling.
"Where are you going?" Ask Indira.
"To my room. It's better to wait there than see a woman doesn't know herself." Say Arini while raising her chin towards Blue.
Indira and Raya quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
"That woman drove Mama crazy with her stupidity." Indira.
"Yes Ma. Good thing Om Hasan's nephew." Raya.
Indira nodded her head in response to Raya's words.
Soon, the children's special event ended. Kinomoto's family returns to their hotel room to change clothes for a banquet that Sora holds especially for the parents of Ichigo's friends and also all his business associates.
Ichigo is still excited, especially he who became the main star in the Ballroom. His face sparkled with greetings and gifts from adults he did not know most of.
"Mama, Ichi is very happy." Speak Ichigo to Blue while staring at the pile of gifts in the corner of the room.
"Thankfully, Mama was also happy to see Ichi smiling constantly." Blue then kiss Ichigo's cheeks.
Suddenly two Ichigo-like children approached. Gloria and Miranda are Ichigo's best friends.
"Ichi, let's eat cake." Take Gloria.
The candle blow event has ended, now the parents are chatting while enjoying a banquet accompanied by a music show. So Gloria and Miranda are not afraid to hang around anymore because the formal event is over.
"Can't you Ma?" Ichigo asked permission.
"Yes dear. But don't play until you're out of the Ballroom, okay?"
"Ready Mama."
The three little girls immediately ran towards the birthday cake that was in the other corner. Blue soon joins Natsuki, Keyko and Amaya at one of the tables.
"Where's Sora?" Ask Amaya suddenly.
"It looks like it's with one of the shareholders." Blue answered without taking his eyes off the juice.
"Not with Arini, right?" Ask Keyko.
"It doesn't look like Grandma. That girl is on stage." Answer Natsuki.
Natsuki's words made Blue, Keyko and Amaya stare at the stage. There Arini is seen standing in the middle of the stage while holding a microphone.
"Good night everyone. Allow me to sing a song from Ten 2 Five. As a birthday present to my dearest Ichigo. May a long and happy life always be Ichigo-chan."

🎶🎶🎶
They clapped their hands with a satisfied expression when Arini was done singing.
Indira immediately went up and took the microphone from Arini's hand. The two glanced at each other before Arini stepped off the stage.
"One more time, give a round of applause for Miss Arini Prawira." Said Indira who was immediately responded to by applause from the invited guests.
Sora was already moving restlessly in his seat, he felt that something was amiss. Sometimes he looked back to see Blue. But the face of the False Wife seems to remain calm looking at the stage.
"To enliven the birthday of our granddaughter, Ichigo. Blue Mistress Kinomoto will show her talent in playing the piano to entertain all of us at once as a birthday present for Ichigo."
Indira's words suddenly made Sora stand up and look at Blue.
Mom's outrageous! Sora growled in his heart.
Meanwhile, Blue looked at Indira with a faint smile.
He intends to bring me down, especially if I refuse.
Blue breathed. He calmly walked towards the stage.
"Blue." Sora held Blue's arm as the woman passed by.
"Let's just calm down, Bang." Blue Speech. He took off Sora's hand and went on stage.
"Show me your greatness, son-in-law." Indira said and smiled cynically. He knew Blue could not resist.
The Ballroom's main light is turned off and a grand piano is highlighted. Blue stared at the white piano for a while. He sat down, but did nothing.
The ribs began to sound below.
"It seems he can't play the piano."
"I heard him from the bottom. I can't play the piano."
Sora who could hear that immediately stood up and headed to the stage. Of course it shocked everyone including Indira who had just sat back in her place.
"What did Sora do?" Ask the Indira.
"Eitherway. Maybe he'll help the poor woman." Answer Indira. " Just leave it. Even if Sora helps, people already know that she can't do anything." Indira smiled smugly looking at Blue who was still silent.
Sora took a seat beside Blue, the inside. He stared at Blue for a moment.
"Why follow the madness of the mother?" Sora asked Blue while whispering.
"I don't want to embarrass you."
"Gosh, Blue." Sora Fizzle. Then he stood up and faced to the side to stare at the invited guests.
"May you all be entertained. It's Ichigo's favorite song." Sora lowered his head for a moment and sat back down.
"What will you play?" Ask Blue.
"Four hands piano, Secret OST." Answer Sora briefly.
"But it played two people." Blue Speech.
"I know I'll do everything I can."
Sora took a deep breath.
He put his fingers on the keys. And as a warm-up, he performed the song Secret Lento Version from the soft Secret movie.
Sora's fingers seemed to dance on the keys, creating a soft and sweeping tone.
Heating complete. Sora prepares to play the main song that actually has to be played in a duet. Four hands - On shells Rain OST Secret.
How surprised Sora was when he started pressing the keys on his left, suddenly Blue's left hand pressed the keys. But Sora quickly took control. Now he and Blue play the song together. Blue keeps smiling while playing the piano.
Their two left hands play chord and bass progressions well. Likewise, both of their right hands, moving agilely to play the melody and also the chord. There was no mistake in tone, as if the two had practiced in advance to bring the duet.
One by one the invited guests stood up and stared in admiration. Indira, Hasan, Arini and Raya stood with angry faces.
Ichigo, Gloria and Miranda take the stage. The three use ballet movements and dance agilely to the rhythm of music played by Sora and Blue.
For Ichigo's sake who looks happy while dancing, Sora and Blue repeat playing the song from the beginning.
A thunderous applause filled the Ballroom as Sora and Blue pressed the last keys and Ichigo and his friends bowed respectfully. Everyone present gave appreciation in the form of standing ovation.
Sora and Blue approached the three young ballerinas and together they saluted the guests again.
The applause is not over yet, Sora smiled happily, as well as Blue. He even chuckles and hugs Ichigo.
After Blue and Ichigo untied their embrace, Blue looked at Sora with a small laugh. Laughter is contagious. Even Sora instantly grabbed Blue into his arms. Many times Sora kissed Blue's head to channel his feelings, and Blue did not dodge.
Doesn't stop there. Because of being carried away, Sora distanced Blue's head then he lowered his head and kissed Blue's lips several times before finally k3cup4n turned into lum4t4n. The audience cheered again, Ichigo and his two best friends suddenly turned a blind eye.
Blue was swept away in the atmosphere to let Sora colonize her lips. Until finally Blue realized and pushed Sora's chest.
"Devents." Blue Fizz, she felt embarrassed for kissing in public.
Sora chuckled and hugged Blue again.
Arini who witnessed it was powerless to resist emotions. With a stomp of his feet he rushed out of the Ballroom. Indira did not expect, his plan to humiliate Blue even ended with a romantic scene on stage even they got a standing ovation from the invited guests.
On the other hand, Natsuki also hugs Keyko and Amaya when the three of them see Blue and Sora's affection on stage.
