Not Just a Dream
Gathering

Renata continued to stare at her from the mirror reflection. The hair that was criwil and branched now becomes straight and soft. The dull face turned clear until it could be used to reflect. Sexy clothes worn very luxurious. High heels with famous brands and branded bags also complete the appearance to almost perfect.

He could not believe it, it was like a dream for him that had completely turned one hundred and eighty degrees.

"If I had been like this a long time ago, surely my life would not have been miserable and oppressed by everyone" he told himself. 

Renata sat on the edge of the bed, waiting for Bu Nurmala who said she would call him when it was time.

"But why did Nurmala dress me up? Is there any other plan behind this? Do I want to be sold?"

Deg 

Renata's heart was beating fast, fear again seething when he saw his thighs that looked a little.

This can't happen.

The sound of knocking on the door echoed, Renata grew more panicked and continued to lower her dress to cover her knees.

He grabbed the bag on the nightstand and opened the door to his room.

Bu Nurmala looked at Renata from top to bottom, the middle-aged woman shook her head in astonishment and raised her two thumbs.

"You are beautiful" she said with a small smile.

Renata responded with a forced smile, fearing that what was being said was true.

Bu Nurmala looked at the clock that was coiling in her hand.

"As soon as we leave, the driver is waiting ahead."

Bu Nurmala took Renata by the hand and invited her out. Despite the doubts, the girl still followed Nurmala's step towards the car.

"Sir, careful! Maybe restaurant" said Bu Nurmala to the driver who was sitting in front of the steering wheel.

"Da.. da.hopefully successful." Bu Nurmala waved her hand towards Renata who was sitting in the back seat.

Renata returned the wave of the hand until the car came out of the courtyard of the luxury house Nurmala. 

Minutes apart from the dark streets, Renata shifts her seat right behind the busy driver with her steering wheel.

"Sir, who do we want to meet?" ask Renata waswas.

The driver stared at Renata's face from the hanging reflection of the rearview.

"I don't know, Mom just told me to take non to the restaurant, that's all."

If it is sold, why come to the restaurant, why not to the club all of you, Renata snorted inwardly. 

Arriving, Renata immediately got down from the car, he stared at a luxurious restaurant in front of him. The restaurant audience in general, in many visitors who are enjoying the dish. Nothing suspicious made Renata relieved. He had only dreamed of getting in there. But now it all becomes real.

"Sir, wait for me!" pinta Renata's. 

"Okay, Non" replied the driver.

Renata walked straight into the restaurant, he went straight to table number 99 like Bu Nurmala's orders.

"Please, Ma'am!" One waitress shows a table in the very corner.

Renata sat down, his eyes continued down the very luxurious place, his mind continued to wander until he did not hear the words of waitress who was standing at the side of the table.

"What message do you want?" ask waitress the third time.

Instantly Renata regained consciousness and opened the menu book that was on the table.

What message is yes, why is nothing cheap, later if Nurmala is angry how. But he said no papa, someone wants to pay.

"Steak only, Ma'am," Renata replied hurriedly. 

"But who wants to see me? Why hasn't he come yet?" lamented Renata. 

Food came, Renata immediately cut the meat into a knit shape before devouring it.

Almost a mouthful floated in his mouth, the sound of Deheman from behind making Renata turn.

Mr. Bagas, why is he here, is he following me and wants to seek compensation for his scuffed car.

Renata turned her face away, she turned her back to Bagas who was looking at her with a serious look.

Was she the surprise that Aunt Nurmala meant, this was the girl who was at the lake at the time, but why it looked so different.

Bagas reached into his cell phone and put the flat object in his ear, he contacted Nurmala's mother to make sure if it was not wrong people.

"Hello Bagas, have you met Renata?" ask Nurmala's mom across the phone. 

"Already, auntie," replied Bagas briefly, then closed the connection again.

Jerry who felt unneeded finally came out. Arriving at the door, he turned towards Renata.

The girl seems to have worked in an office, but why does she look so different, am I wrong?

Jerry continued his steps and walked out.

"Can I sit down?" tanya Bagas without frills greeted good night.

"Please!" rennata replied with his head lowered.

Was Mr. Bagas the one Bu Nurmala was referring to, how could it be a coincidence like this, how is this, what should I do so that he does not ask me for compensation.

Renata stabbed the piece of meat in front of him and ate it. 

Silence, only the thump of spoons and plates from the surrounding table could be heard. Bagas continued to stare at Renata, from the way he ate to the moment the girl gulped down her drink.

"Why do you see me like that?" scold Renata who feels uncomfortable.

Bagas shook his head without a sound. From the bottom of his heart heaps of questions that will be launched for a Renata who suddenly becomes a surprise for him, even Aunt Nurmala says if he should approach the girl.

"Am I really weird?" ask Renata next. 

"What a weird thing, you're like a chameleon, some time ago I saw you like a beggar, but now __" 

Bagas did not continue his words when the beautiful woman came with a cup of black coffee. 

"Please, Sir!" 

Now why? Like ondel-ondel? Renata only spoke in his heart.

Returning to the main tree, After sipping his coffee, Bagas looked back at Renata's face. 

"What is your purpose in coming here?" tanya Bagas.

Renata shook without a sound. He did not know the purpose of coming and just follow the orders of aunt Nurmala.

"Then, what's your relationship with Aunt Nurmala?"

Renata nodded again. He chewed his food slowly with his eyes continue to look at the plate in front of him.

"Okay, do you live in a aunt's house?" ask Bagas the third time. 

Renata nodded slowly.

"Since when?"

"A few days ago," replied Renata, he was like a suspect who was caught off guard and intimidated.

Bagas leaned his back and exhaled a rough breath. 

"I don't know your relationship with our family, but don't take this meeting more than an introduction, I came just at Aunt's request, that's it" Bagas explained. 

"I know myself, so don't be afraid."

Renata finished his meal, not even paying any heed to Bagas who continued to babble.

There's just Aunt Nurmala, yes, I was told to date her, not really.
