...*HAPPY READING* ...
Rina was still unable to digest the situation where her grand opening gallery event was so crowded. Especially when there are so many media members covering, while Dika also never discussed this before.
"Is it really going to be like this everything that has to do with you?" asked Rina when Dika asked her to wait in a special room and did not invite her to mingle with the people out there.
"Emm, more or less like this. But it seems like it's a lot more crowded than usual."
"Can't that be it?"
"Because for the first time we're holding someone new, young, and beautiful."
Dika still had time to tease Rina. This he did so that his wife was more relaxed and not nervous ahead of the ribbon cut event.
Lina stared at the luxurious watch that was coiled around her wrist.
Ten more minutes. Why can't I just ease this nervousness?
Dika continued to hold Rina's hand, hoping to ease the anxiety felt by his wife.
"Darling, later if you go out with a stick or the road itself?"
Dika raised Rina's hand and kissed her.
"I'll do whatever makes you comfortable."
Rina obtained an injection of confidence when she heard the words spoken.
"Let's get out" take Dika when they feel their time has come.
"Where do I look?" Rina had asked Dika's opinion regarding her appearance.
"Very pretty."
"I'm serious, I'm serious."
"I'm very serious."
Dika reached out her hand and Lina immediately linked her arms. Once it appeared, all eyes were on them, until Dika gave a speech, Rina still could not figure out why she was so the center of attention.
Dika is down and it is time to give a welcome.
"Assalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh, good night. Thank you for attending the event tonight."
"As a partner of Mr. Restu Andika, and as part of the Surya Group, please allow me to introduce myself first."
"My name is Rina Malinda, a Rhode Island School of Design graduate, with a major in Jewellery Design."
"It was fortunate that Mr. Restu Andika accepted the proposal that I submitted and gave a special team to build a branch within the Surya Group."
An invitation who seemed to be preparing to throw a bottle in front of Rina suddenly felt her hand blocked and her movements stopped. Not enough to get there, he was dragged forcibly out of the crowd. No doubt the people who came wanted to take down Rina ciut instantly when they realized that there were so many people who were on standby to mingle with the invitation there.
Rina was still confidently introducing the gallery and the results of her work contained there. She also described the meaning of jewelry for her personally and for women in general.
"And tonight let us inaugurate the Surya Art and Gallery. Hope you all enjoy this show. Good night and thank you. Wassalamu alaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh."
Hana squeezed her hand when she felt her original plan had failed. He who had instigated people and devised a scenario pelted Rina with a bottle and whatever as she delivered her speech. That way Rina will be devastated by falling on her own show.
I did not think the guard was very tight. Whether this is the facility of Surya Group to protect everyone or Rina who has prepared herself for this.
Don't be happy with Rina. You can still survive the welcome, but not at the press conference.
Hana was still staring at the cynical smiley Rina beside Dika cutting the ribbon together. Got a big round of applause and lots of congratulations.
You don't deserve to be there, Rina. I should have been standing next to Dika.
"Hana, how's the press conference going?" the sudden arrival of Andre had shocked Hana so much.
It only takes a few breaths and good acting from him, Hana has managed to neutralize the face.
"It's all done sir. Do I need to ask the media to prepare now."
"Yes, because it's time."
"Good Sir."
Hana immediately resigned herself to carry out her duties.
"You're smart, Hana, but you're not agile enough to trick us" Andre murmured as he watched everything closely.
Andre works very well. He does not have intelligence and memory as good as Dedi, but he has tenacity and accuracy that has been recognized. No doubt he uses this advantage well to carry out every task assigned to him.
"Remember, do not let our main target loose," murmured Andre before returning to save his phone.
Andre was aware as Dika looked at him from afar. He just raised his hand and showed his boss an okay symbol.
Dika nodded his head and continued to step towards the press conference venue.
One more step you will destroy Rina.
Honey, this isn't the author who said it, but Hana's inner voice. And this is the time.
Dika and Rina sat side by side with a table full of microphones with various media loggos. In front of them had also prepared a place for news hunters who wanted to convey their questions.
Just now Rina threw a smile at all the media crew, suddenly a projector screen lit up, showing slides of photos of the couple that seemed to be taken secretly in different places and situations.
Please accept my special gift from Rina. Inner Hana while cheering happily because she felt a little more her target would be destroyed instantly.
Rina's eyes squinted as she felt familiar with the people in the picture.
"Geez!"
Rina closed her mouth, while recognizing the figure inside each slide was she and Dika. Everyone in this room is starting to get rowdy. An unpleasant look began to be addressed to Rina.
Reno began to be unable to resist seeing her daughter in this position.
As Reno was about to arrive at where Dika and Rina were, Andre quickly prevented her. Aided by a few people, Reno was taken away from the crowd.
"What are you doing. Paid how much you by Dika so dare at least teach this to the old man, ha!"
"Sorry Mr. Reno. Again I apologize. You please calm down."
"How can I calm down. When my daughter was cornered, Dika instead looked relaxed and silent. Do you think I can still calm down!"
Reno clutched Andre's collar. When the big men were about to help him, Andre refused and let Reno release a blow on Andre's jaw.
Andre felt a pain in his left jaw, but was still as strong as holding back.
Suddenly there was a noise and applause. Andre smiled knotfully as Reno released his grip and left him to look at the circumstances.
