LIEGE
THE REVEALED 1

The clock shows at 11pm when Erina enters the Garage Cafe. He arrived an hour ahead of the appointed time. He wanted to see first what kind of woman called him last night.

Earlier this morning he had discussed the matter with Ardian over the phone.

FLASHBACKS

"In, I'm confused but also curious."

"Lo sure ready to hear what will be samedin the same girl?"

"Everybody's not ready, but I have to know."

"But ready for the possibility that you two will not go ahead?" Erina speechless. "Lo knows who to look for when that happens."

"Lo why did I and Daffa disperse? Tega is very much a friend," Erina scolded with a bitter laugh.

Ardian knew for sure that laughter was forced. He knew this friend he loved was actually agitated. If only he were right now beside Erina, he would definitely hug the girl to calm her down.

"Do you want me to go to Yemen?" Erina did not answer. "Woy, you didn't faint from nervousness, did you?"

"What the hell lo? I'm not that weak!" tukas Erina is upset. "Can't be concerned about me. He said love is like me but your attitude doesn't show that."

Geez Rin, if you are not already engaged to Daffa, I will definitely show you how my love to elo. Right now I can only intensify and hold back this feeling of love. I can tell Daffa's past story so I can make you break up with him. But I'm sure you won't like it. I don't want to be hated by Elo. I can't help it if you stay away. Let me sacrifice my feelings of love. Maybe Elo is not for me.

"Where's Rin? Need no company?" ask Ardian again.

"Elo has free time to accompany me? Your job schedule is seabreg-abreg. Very dense, lament the density of traffic at home."

"It just so happens that this morning there was no important meeting. I can bring a laptop. I can delegate work to Prio," replied Ardian quickly. She doesn't want Erina to be alone. She was worried that Erina was losing control.

"OKAY. Lo temenin me. But then the table will sit differently. I don't want to look weak in front of anyone. Elo pick me up."

After hanging up the phone, Ardian immediately called Prio, his assistant.

"Yo, cancel all my meetings today. Reschedule so tomorrow. Serahin monthly report to Pak Arya."

"But sir, this afternoon there will be a lunch with the board of commissioners. The presence of the father must be awaited by them."

"Tell them I can't attend. There's a much more important affair. If my presence is really awaited, tell them to reschedule the lunch event." Ardian's decision this time was completely inexorable. Prio as an assistant understood this very well. He can also guess what important business makes his boss dare to leave the meeting with the company elders, which incidentally is the family of Mr. Arga.

FLASHBACK OFF

Erina tried to calmly sit in her chair. At another table Ardian looked over. They intentionally sat apart.

Ardian: Rin, not here yet?

Erina: No. The deal's at 12. Lunch hour. Wh why? Hungry up?

Ardian : Yes. I ordered to eat. Do you want me to order?

Erina: No need. Let me order it myself. Some situations like where I can eat. Just make more mules.

Ardian: You can be nervous too. Though ngadepin bandit aja elo never nervous.

Erina: I*****t lo! If the bandits are easy to make. Stay beaten up. If this is not possible I will beat.

Ardian: Would you like a coffee or a sandwich? I'm sure you haven't had breakfast this morning.

Erina: Espresso, double shot Yes In. Plus salad and tuna sandwich.

Ardian: Okay, baby. I ordered elo.

Erina: Dih, Najong really use call love all. Norak.

Ardian : Training. Who knows, you changed your mind and want to be my wife. 🥰 😘

Erina : Dih, I am really excited to see your emoticons.

Erina: I want to play boy

Ardian: From a loved one. Being happy to others.

Erina: It's been ah! Your service is endless.

Ardian : Relax, if you later become my wife I will definitely serve with love.

Erina :Ardian!!️🙈😤

From her seat Erina could see Ardian laughing while looking towards her. Sableng's best friend, Erina's nag. He put his finger on his forehead. Ardian who saw even more chuckling. Make people around you notice it.

Ah, thankfully I brought Ardian. It could at least reduce my nervousness, Erina thought. Since last night his sleep was restless thinking about today's meeting. He did not dare guess what would be said by a foreign woman who called him last night. Her nervousness today exceeded the nervousness of the first time she met the Daffa family.

Towards 12 noon, a beautiful woman with elegant-looking makeup appeared at the table where Erina was sitting. From his face it is clear that this girl is blateran, not local. Who is this girl, Erina asked inwardly.

"Good day, miss Erina," greeted the girl with a thick bulenya accent. From his accent it is clear he is from mainland England there. Whether this girl had anything to do with the frequent official trips Daffa made, back Erina wondered inwardly.

"Good afternoon. Miss.....?" Erina waited for the girl to say her name. But instead of replying, the girl instead pulled a seat in front of Erina and elegantly sat her bo. Do all British girls sit like princess? inner Erina. Gracefully. Fits the girl's character.

"You don't need to know my name. All you need to know is, your future husband is not who you think he is." The girl took out a few photos from her bag.

Erina didn't take those photos. He tried to calm down and smile, although in his heart various feelings raged.

"What do you mean you want to see me? If only photos like this want to be shown, why not just send it via mobile phone? Or you deliberately want to meet and see for yourself what kind of girl you will meet." said Erina Kalem but her tone is quite sharp. There was lightning in the eyes of the Caucasian girl.

"Well, you must think I'm a weak girl. Sometimes I am weak. I have become a stronger woman more often. Especially facing people like you."

Once again the girl looked riled up, but she hurriedly changed her attitude when she saw Erina was not affected by what she was carrying.

"Hmm. You should pay close attention to the photos I bring. Maybe it can make you rethink to marry your candidate."

"I'm going to look at these pictures. But explain to me what you want." Erina took the photos that the girl had brought.

It is like lightning striking on a bright, unpredictable and startling day. That's the feeling when you see the first photo. Daffa was walking with a spoiled bule girl on his arm. Meanwhile, Daffa was pushing a baby stroller.

Slowly Erina looked at the second photo, which seemed to be newer than the first. Daffa and again the girl in the first photo was walking to enjoy the twilight in a park. This time it appeared that a little girl was sitting on Daffa's shoulders. All three look happy.

The next photos made Erina even more shocked. Yet he tried to maintain a flat expression on his face. The photo was taken a month ago. Same with Daffa's date to London last time. In the photo appears Daffa came out of a small house, again with a bully girl and her little girl. How one hand of Daffa seemed comfortable holding the girl and the other hand holding the little girl. Who're they? Are they Daffa's wife and children?

"Interesting." Erina put the photos back on the table. Princess Blasteran who was sitting opposite her looked disappointed to see Erina's reaction.

"You don't have to pretend to be strong. I know you must be disappointed in your fiancee. Didn't you?"

"Is that important to you? I don't know you or the people in the picture. Why am I disappointed."

"That's a picture of your fiancee with her little family. And you are the one who will ruin that happiness."

Erina laughed at the girl's words. He knew, he could not show real emotions in front of the princess blasteran.

"Why are you laughing?"

"Hey miss, this is modern times. Everything can be made. Photos or videos can be edited. I don't know what your purpose is. But I can't just trust someone who doesn't dare to introduce his name. I could think of you as a fraud."

The princess was silent. It appears he's racking his brain to convince Erina.

"I'm sure the letters I received were from you as well. You need to know, it's a coward's act."

This time the princess smiled mysteriously. A smile that could make Erina's heart shrivel and worry.

"Maybe these pictures don't make you believe. Alright. Let's see how you react after hearing my story."
