Alea entered the Ballroom which had been packed with hundreds of invitations who were chatting with each other and exchanging news. The girl was wailing herself, not understanding what she was going to do inside here. The faces that adorned the Ballroom area were none that familiar to him, making him feel even more alienated.
"Hey, who are you?" The pat on Alea's shoulder made her turn her face to see who had reprimanded her.
"Eh, you No? I'm not looking for anyone anymore. Just squirming who knows if there's someone I know in here" Alea said honestly.
"There's something you know" asked Nino. Alea simply shook her head in excitement.
"Judah, you know me. I'm temenin?" Nino glanced as she hung her hand asking Alea to hold her hand through her blink of an eye.
"Thank you for wanting to go. It's not good to be in this big place with this many people if you have to be alone. Rich lost child will be, "Reveal Alea with a friendly smile on her lips. However, Alea did not grab Nino's hand, making the young man frown and lowering his hand.
"Yes, we've been there, yuk" pointed Nino at a table located not far from the stage.
Alea nodded her head and followed Nino walking in the direction her husband's personal assistant pointed out.
"Hi, Nino. Gosh tumben, now bring the couplers?" Asked a man who approached Nino and Alea when they had just landed his butt on the chair in front of the stage.
"Recake ga?" Tanya Nino played her eyebrows up and down, trying to boast.
"Kecakepan even for you," said the man as he looked closely at Alea.
"Know this is Alea. Alea this is Zainal, Ravka's friend and business partner,"
"Hi, call me Zai" Zai said, extending his hand.
"Alea," Alea said as she welcomed Zai's hand.
"Are you really hooked on this brat?" Zai asked not to believe Nino's words. Alea shook her head while smiling.
"That's right, I said what, too. Mana believe I you got a sling with this piece," Zai said casually. He even smelled his smile on Alea's beautiful and cute face.
"Ah ga asik lu Al. Say yes cake, so I can boast a little. He's Ravka's new aspri,"
"You're supposed to show off that you're supposed to make a pact to not be shy" Zainal chuckled at the look of the manyun installed by Nino.
"By the way, how come Ravka has a new aspri? Keep going, you're backing down on Ravka's cooperation?" Ask Zainal to Nino.
"Si Boss again baek heart times. I'm in kasih temen. Let's not see him mulu,"
"Gue tell you the same Ravka said take a look at him" Zai said.
"Ga cool you,"
"Oh yeah, where's the Ravkana?" Ask Zai later. Nino only put her shoulders together in response to a friend's question at school.
Zai tried to implicate Alea in the exclamation while looking at the girl with admiration. From the first moment I saw Alea walking beside Nino, she was like a magnet pulling her. Beauty and gentleness melted in the facial features Alea emitted. Makes Zai so captivated. Fortunately his concern that Alea was Nino's partner was not proven, thus making the young man cheer inwardly. As if given a pass card to be able to approach the sweet girl in front of him at this time.
"Good night, ladies and gentlemen," The sound that echoes in the Ballroom distracts all the invited guests from their activities. The pair of Master Ceremonies Alea often saw on the glass screen opened the event that night.
Various arrangements of the event were read by the two MCs carefully.
"Well before we get into the core event that is the auction of various limited edition items that are deliberately prepared for the event tonight, we will hear in advance a word from the Chairman of Dinata Group who is also the main donor of this activity every year. We welcome Mr. Bayu Dinata," said the MC.
Alea noticed a elderly man walking with his cane towards the stage. Alea's eyes were fixed on the group of people sitting at the table where Bayu had just moved. There she saw her husband's family gathered. No one was aware of his presence in this room.
Alea's eyes continued to search for Ravka's whereabouts there which he did not see at all the trunk of his nose. She did not even hear what Bayu said in front of her because she was too focused on finding her husband.
"Who are you looking for again?" Zai's question drew Alea's attention back.
"Eh, no one" Alea replied later. She talks to Zai again, occasionally noticing how handsome her husband's grandfather is when speaking on stage, even though he is no longer young.
"Alright the end of the word I say happy to enjoy the event tonight," said Bayu closed his speech. "But before we start the auction I want to announce about my granddaughter's wedding,"
Bayu's words made Alea's heart beat fast. His mind ran everywhere. Is it possible that Grandpa Bayu will introduce her as the daughter-in-law of the Dinata family tonight? Ask the little girl's heart.
"I'm going to call a couple of newlyweds to go on stage. Alex and Sherly, come here" Bayu said with a smile of pride filling his face. Alea began to rearrange her heart closing the disappointment lodged there. She had already begun to learn to swallow the bitter pill of disappointment within this new family of hers.
A boisterous pat was blaring in the room as Alex and Sherly were already up on stage. Bayu then introduced the two as grandchildren and grandchildren of family pride. Making Alea's heart back stomp her chest.
"On this occasion, too, I will announce that from tomorrow Monday I will retire. Because a three-legged person like me is no longer worthy to lead a company as big as Dinata Group" Bayu said as he held his cane into the air. Who was greeted with laughter by the audience in the Ballroom responded to the clumsiness of the man whose hair was flattened full of gray hair.
"Therefore, I think it is time for the young who are working to advance Dinata Group under the leadership of the new CEO, my grandson Alex," continued Bayu later.
"What?" Excited the two men sitting next to Alea together. The girl could not understand why the two young men nearby were shocked to hear Grandpa Bayu's announcement.
"How can Alex be appointed as the new CEO?" Tanya Zai threw a questionable face at Nino.
"I don't know either. During this time Ravka was prepared to take over the company. I'm also surprised, why Alex anyway?"
"Well, you, Ravka's personal assistant, can't know anything this big?"
"Lha last week was also still Ravka who was prepared to take over. After that all focus on the preparation of this event and the wedding. Ravka people are not married, I just know when the date comes to the show,"
"Your seriousness, No?" Ask Zai in wonder. "Gue would have been ready to come to his show if it wasn't for Dandi calling I said Ravka again gym,"
"That kid fucked up yesterday. I never saw him drink. Semalem he's a mabok. We have to disperse, we have to send him back to his house because he drinks again. Yaudah of the children why-napa we menemenin him until morning," added Zai again.
"Mabok ravka?" Tanya Nino did not believe it. "When can a child drink?"
