Not Just a Dream
It's almost

Renata kept staring at the alarm clock that was on the nightstand. On the one hand he felt bad to refuse Bagas who seemed to expect it, also Nurmala who had helped him. On the other hand, he is still traumatized by the incident some time ago while in the office. 

What if anyone knows me, surely they will accuse me of seducing Mr. Bagas, Renata murmured inwardly. 

She stared at the dress hanging in front of the closet, all day long Renata felt anxious and could not close her eyes.

I have to face them anyway. I cannot be weak and oppressed. 

Renata rushed to the bathroom to clean up. His determination was already unanimous to go to the event with Bagas.

Almost thirty minutes, Bagas sat on the living room sofa of Nurmala's house. Sometimes he stared at the door of Renata's room which was still tightly closed. 

"Where the hell, he. Long time," grumbled Bagas. 

Just now Bagas turned on the tv, Renata's room door opened. 

Bagas turned to the source of the voice. He stared at Renata's appearance from top to bottom. Amazingly, even Renata was very much different from the one yesterday at dinner. 

Renata walked slowly towards Bagas who looked dumbfounded. The man dropped the remote in his hand until it barked on the carpet.

Renata wears a strapless maxi dress of pastel pink, clutch, and high heels. Although minimalist, its appearance still looks elegant and elegant. Moreover, his tall body makes him suitable as a model.

"Is dad okay?" renata asked as he waved his hand right in front of Bagas face. 

"Yes, I'm fine," Bagas replied nervously, he turned his face the other way to avoid Renata's gaze. 

"Can we go now?" say the next Renata.

"Okay, we're leaving now, rather than late."

Tidying up his suit, he looked at Renata's back who was walking towards the front. 

Ms. Nurmala who peeked behind the kitchen cabinet laughed faintly at her niece who seemed to be getting interested in Renata.

"What the hell is it, Mom?" ask Auntie to take a peek. 

"Renata and Bagas are very compatible, does aunt agree that I betrothed them?"  asked Bu Nurmala, every decision he makes always involves aunty. 

"Again, Non Renata is beautiful, and Den Bagas is also handsome, they clop really."

May Bagas quickly open his heart to Renata. 

...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...

The atmosphere of the ballroom was very crowded, invited guests began to crowd the party venue. Many pairs of eyes were staring at him with a sinister look. However, Renata ignored them, he followed Bagas' steps in. 

"Who is that?" 

Whispers began to sound in Renata's ears. 

Bagas pulled his chair, he also seemed uncomfortable with the gazes of the people around him who continued to look at Renata. 

"You know them?" bagas asked Renata who lowered her head. 

Renata stared one by one at the beautiful women lined up not far from his desk, he shook his head, because none of them he knew.

"Please drink, sir!" A waiter came with two drinks and placed them in front of Bagas and Renata. 

From afar, it appears Melinda who wears a white dress that approached Bagas and Renata. 

"Good night," said Melinda kindly, she extended her hand in front of Bagas. 

"Night, congratulations on your engagement" said Bagas, accepting the former's hand, though his heart was still torn to shreds by Melinda's betrayal, he tried to stay firm in the face of reality. 

Melinda turned to look at Renata who also went to follow Bagas.

"Who is this?" ask Melinda curious. 

"Include, his name is Renata, he's my girlfriend," said Bagas casually, he immediately grabbed the slim waist Renata who made the master shocked, even Renata almost pulled Bagas' hand. 

Deg deg deg 

At once the heart of Renata berdisco ria. 

Oh my God, what's wrong with my heart?

Renata just smiled wryly.

Melinda took off her hand and pointed to a man who was busy talking to other guests.

"Alright, then I go there first" Melinda said hesitantly.

His face seemed unwilling to see Bagas' affection for Renata. 

It turns out Bagas already has another woman, it means he has forgotten me, or maybe the woman was just his escape because I have decided, Melinda's mind. 

After Melinda's back disappeared, Renata clapped Bagas' still-at-home hand against her waist. 

"The next time you have to get permission, I don't want this to happen again" Renata said. 

Not because of anything, Renata was just afraid Bagas could hear his heartbeat beating faster than the drum. 

"Iya want to hug the girlfriend must ask permission first," Bagas sergeant raised his eyebrows. 

What did Mr Bagas say? A boyfriend? Mean what? 

"Don't ge er first, we keep pretending to date when in public, show others our affection." 

It turns out it was just a lie. 

Plok Plok Plok 

A round of applause echoed from behind Renata. The sound of the piano from earlier adorning the ears suddenly stopped. 

"Recent, Sena." 

Bagas moved from his seat. He looked at the friend who was now his greatest enemy, while Renata immediately turned toward the back of Bagas. 

Sena folded her hands together, while Derya stared at Renata's appearance which indeed turned one hundred and eighty degrees. 

Now they are the center of attention of all the guests nearby.

"Do you all know who that girl is?" sena asked pointing at Renata who was behind Bagas.

All shook their heads without a sound, they were curious about Renata, the woman who first walked with Bagas.

"Bagas, Bagas, are you desperate to find a better woman than Melinda's sister?" said Sena mocking.

Silent bagas, he digested the sentence that slid from the corner of Sena's lips.

Poor Mr. Bagas, I have to do something, lest Sena leak everything. 

"Sir, don't listen to him, we better go" Renata whispered. 

"Why should I go, I wonder what Sena means?"

Renata clucked resentfully at Bagas' rejection, if he used to be humiliated in public, now he had to think about Bagas. 

Geez, Mr. Bagas, if Sena says who I am, everyone must be in shock, cleaning service the same way boss, grumbled Renata in the heart. He grew even more panicked as Sena continued to step closer to Bagas. 

I have to move fast, Sena can't say everything in front of people.

Just about to step away, Sena grabbed Renata's hand from the side. 

"Do you know who this woman is?" sena asked Bagas while raising Renata's hand. 

"Know, her name is Renata, why is it?" ask Bagas who doesn't know about the girl. 

Finish my history. Renata is getting scared.

"Sena, we're leaving now," suddenly Derya pulls Sena's hand from behind. 

"Sister, I haven't spoken yet" Sena declined. 

"No need, for what? You're just gonna embarrass yourself."

Renata breathed a sigh of relief, he leaned his head on the back of Bagas who was still very curious. 

At least today Mr. Bagas is safe.

"Sir, I want to go home." Without waiting for an answer from Bagas, Renata left the party that had just begun.
