***

Laura Elsabeth Queen is a single adult female. Laura once loved but her love was forcibly broken down by her own parents and forced Laura to accept an arranged marriage that even Laura did not know the man.

Until one day Laura almost crazy and chose to go live her own life on the condition that both parents should not be in a relationship with a poor man who should not be mentioned by name in his family.

Laura lives in a simple apartment, she works in a well-known elite company, a company that has wide wings to foreign countries.

Unfortunately for 8 years Laura worked, the owner or president of the company was very low profile, even one photo was never found on the internet page.

A few days ago, Laura got a Birthday Party invitation from her classmate Sarah, and now just a few days away the show will start.

Laura was still in a state of worry, whether she should attend it or just skip it and chose to continue sitting at her favorite desk.

Laura is an independent, disciplined and hardworking woman. She used to be a jolly, cheerful, and friendly girl but that was before all those parting tragedies made Laura depressed.

***

Finally, the day that was determined to arrive, with all the preparation that Laura did should be enough to make her confident to meet her old friends who would also come at Sarah's birthday party.

"Jeez, come on, it's just a regular birthday party."

Said the girl to herself, then took a few deep breaths and exhaled violently.

"Wusai...!!!"

"I'm so nervous about meeting my old friends, after 10 years I've never had a conversation with them."

He said in his heart.

As her nervousness grew, both her hands were icy cold but also sweaty, Laura imagined herself like a cold, pitiful kitten.

"I shouldn't have come and chosen to work overtime, that's a pretty reasonable excuse."

Laura said again, her voice trembling.

The tiny hand was cold, the fingers were stiff, the palm was full of sweat, he finally got out of his car. The long legs felt trembling.

With her hands that were starting to get wet from cold sweat, she tidied her beautiful hair neatly through the glass of her car. If only his nervousness can be overcome easily like tidying his hair.

"Jeez, my bag and the gift for Sarah are left behind!"

He turned around and opened the car door to pick it up.

Taking a deep breath and exhaling as slowly as possible to make her nervousness invisible, the girl walked down the edge of the path towards the hall.

Her beautiful dress makes her look beautiful, graceful and also sexy, famous music thumping throughout the hall building.

The girl entered through a large and luxurious door, music loud enough to make a jolt in her chest. Lots of bright lights and colorful light bulbs, as well as colorful balloons in the room, with various words "Happy Birthday Sarah."

It was also seen that many people were laughing and talking, some were jogging each other, but Laura just stood there.

"Laura! Oh my God it's you! Laura Queen." - Laura Queen."

A pretty big busty sexy lady approaches Laura.

"Lava's oath I hate you. You're not gaining any weight at all, you're still very pretty."

Said the sexy woman while letting go of her embrace.

Laura laughs.

"Hi Kate's... You also haven't changed still beautiful and brave..."

The two women hugged and laughed again.

"It's so nice to meet you Laura."

Kate said as she hugged.

"I'm happy too, and you, even though I see you every day in Hitz magazine, still I miss you, and strangely enough, I work there too but we never meet."

Laura hugged her best friend who had never communicated for a long time.

"Oh my God, we're so close, I'll visit your room often."

Kate said, pointing at Laura's nose.

Sarah came to greet Laura.

"Hi Laura I'm glad you came."

Sarah smiled, smiling.

"Hi Sarah happy birthday."

Laura said she gave Sarah a gift and they hugged each other.

"Thank you but I'm sorry I couldn't keep you company, because I had to greet a lot of guests."

Sarah said with a sorry face.

"It's okay."

Laura replied with a smile.

"Just relax and enjoy Laura's show."

Sarah smiled, then Sarah said goodbye and left.

"Let's sit down, we'll tell you there."

Kate pointed at the sofa not far from them while holding Laura walked through the crowd of people who were jogging.

Kate said as she sat next to her best friend.

"No, you used to."

Laura shook her head.

"What's the matter with you, why did you disappear for so long and suddenly you showed up in a famous magazine in Hitz's class? I can't even call you at all."

Suddenly Laura felt very upset.

"The story was long, you know, Paul always beat me up, when it was the day I didn't want to see his face again, he tried to..."

Kate did not dare to continue her sentence.

Laura understood what her best friend meant. Paul the perverted and arrogant is Kate's stepfather, her mother remarried, her mother blinded by her own love to the point of completely forgetting Kate.

"I'm sorry I wasn't by your side when you needed help."

Laura lowered her head and squeezed her own nails.

"That's over, I did run away from everyone and start my own life, putting things together from the bottom, but look at me fine, now I even have a good job."

Kate smiled broadly.

"Yes, you've become a famous star."

Laura said gratefully.

"Now tell me about yourself, how you went through it with Zafran."

Kate nudges Laura's body using her shoulders, with seductive eyes.

"That's..."

Not yet Laura told me, Kate cut the sentence.

"Jeez it's Zafran..."

Kate stood up and waved to call a tall man, white and bodied quite ideal, but the man did not budge he did not see the wave of Kate.

"Zafran...!!!"

Shouted the sexy woman.

Laura starts acting weird, she holds Kate's hand and tries to dissuade her best friend from yelling at the man.

But too late, Zafran returned Kate's hand and walked to their seats.

"Hello Kate..."

Say hello to Zafran while shaking hands with Kate.

"Hi's handsome... Why did you guys come apart, you were so mean to make Laura wait here for so long. I'll get you a drink."

Kate said as she passed by leaving two pairs of lovebirds who were awkward with each other.

"I'll help Kate..."

Said Laura.

But when Laura was half-standing, Zafran held the girl's shoulder and made her sit back on her soft sofa. Laura looked up at Zafran.

Like a leaf dragging in the wind in the afternoon when the sun is ready to sink, making the surroundings feel warm but also cold. Like Zafran's face, handsome, cold and increasingly charismatic and more haughty compared to 10 years ago.

Zafran who is now more handsome and perfect, with clean white skin, he wears a donker colored shirt making it more inviting admiration every woman.

"How are you, are you happy with your marriage?"

Said Zafran still standing right in front of Laura.

The girl's stomach was heartburn, her brain was forced to recall painful memories of the past. It was as if his eyes could not stare, felt blurry and very tired. Laura was eager to escape from that place.

"What wedding?"

Laura replied weakly even as if she did not have the strength to reply to Zafran's question, she still felt awkward.

"There's no need to pretend Laura. You didn't think I'd be coming to Sarah's Birthday Party?"

Zafran said, while sitting next to Laura and looking at the girl with a sharp knife that was ready to cut her heart and all her pride.

Then Zafran's view now turned to all those who danced and chatted. Laura felt extremely humiliated and hurt with a smile that was like mocking Zafran.

But before Laura answered, Kate came with a drink in her hand, then gave it to Laura and Zafran.

"You guys have a chat first, I have to serve and meet other guests, Sarah became me Icon in the show."

Kate left them.

"Did you finally marry a rich man?"

Zafran asked suddenly made Laura who was drinking even choke.
