At exactly 19:00 everyone had gathered at the restaurant, where dinner was held as the engagement of Dion and Nattali.
At this round table everyone was talking about things that the lovers would do in the future, Dareel and Edwin could only listen, he said, occasionally they say if asked by the Natt and Dion families.
"By, it's almost 8 o'clock, Alana, I haven't come." Nattali's whisper to Dion. Alana must have come, only Natt was worried because Alana was not usually late at an important event like this.
"Try me to call him, maybe it's still on the way." Dion calms Nattali down.
Suddenly, all eyes were on a girl who was overwhelmed with a huge bouquet of flowers and some gifts.

Alana POVs
Oh my... Right my guess, the way it started, I came late. The flowers I ordered were exchanged by someone else's order, so I had to take care of them and I ended up coming here late.
"Walanaaaa... I thought you wouldn't come" whined the master who had the show.
"I'm sorry there was a little problem." I really don't feel good about making everyone wait for me. Nattali came up to me and hugged me, Oh my god this kid is right... I've been very reluctant to bring this big flower and the gift that I am about. "What problems? All is well, right?" asked Nattali to me. "I've taken care of it" I replied smiling and returning his embrace.
"Dear father Alana, let's all have dinner now." Aunty Rosa, Mama Nattali. I put the big flower bouquet on the table where the gifts of the guests were gathered.
"The vow is a dress you're really wearing, "right, this dress was a gift from Natt when I turned 25. I don't want to call it my birthday, because I'm too old to do such a show.
...
...
"Which sisun is not suitable for me to wear," as usual I always tease Nattali with high confidence. Nattali hit my hand and smiled.
As we walked towards the dining table, my eyes were on a man wearing a white shirt. Oh my..... My legs are limp, my eyes are soft, he..... Is this real.
Dareel POVs
Why didn't this show start right away, let alone the one they were waiting for. I look around me there's only Edwin, Dion and Nattali's parents. Then do they wait for a woman whom Dion often tells us about, Nattali's best friend. What she has to do is, come late at the event that her best friend's engagement. Really troublesome.
I saw these engaged lovers in front of me, Dion and Nattali. They are very compatible, a year of dating they have decided to continue a more serious relationship. Dion was like that, he was very kind, responsible and loved Nattali very much. Not like me.
"I think that's the one who's waiting, wait" chirped edwin next to me, I saw everyone staring at the newly arrived woman with a large bouquet of flowers and some gifts in her hands, she was having a hard time carrying that huge bouquet even her face to the point of being invisible. How adorable.
"Generic..." Call Nattali a little run and hug her, instantly my mind became as unfazed as yesterday after hearing that name. Everyone here smiled warmly at the closeness of the two of them. True said Dion, the woman named Alana was already like a sister to Nattali.
I didn't stop looking at him, he was joking with Natt. She turned her back to me, that wavy black hair in the pigtail up, that body.
As she turned her body towards the dining table, how shocked I was.
It's true she's Alana, the woman I know, Alana the woman I love so much. Oh my god. I met him here, the woman Dion told me about all this time turned out to be my Alana.
He walked towards the dining table, unaware of my presence. However, the moment his eyes crossed with me, he stopped. The previously very cheerful face sharp became very flat. Before that lip had a smile, it was now tightly closed. She hated me so much, from her talking eyes looking at me full of hatred.
Oh my god, it's Alana. I miss him so much... She's a woman I love so much who makes my days heaven, full of color and happiness. Alana walked over to the dining table, where we started tonight's event. He was sitting right in front of me. "I'm sorry everyone, I'm late" The voice that I missed so much these 8 years, I couldn't stop looking at her, I really wanted to hug her.

The engagement has been held, now we have a casual conversation. Likewise with Alana, she did not look at me at all - if in front of her now there was no one.
Alana POVs
"Al, this is the person I often tell you about, the lecturer was Dion," whispered Natt to my surprise. Please don't talk about this now, I still can't believe he's in front of me right now even than he didn't stop looking at me. Aarrgg I think I'd like to water it with this orange juice.
"Where is he?" I asked lazily. "In front of you, that white shirt. The handsome guy, from earlier I noticed he saw you continue.".
"I guess the one in the blue shirt," I really don't intend to talk about it. "Don't mah, who wears a blue dress is playboy al, his name is edwin his best friend Dion too. Look at the way he smiles, it's really nice. The guy in the white shirt is Dareel, he's calm. A lot of the tablets Dion told about Dareel, he was great. Complete post anyway."
Nattali's explanation made me laugh faintly, how could Natt judge Dion that way. Nattali had yet to realize that Dion who abandoned me and destroyed me was Dion who was now in front of me whom she praised from earlier.
"Reel, this is called Alana, which I often tell you. Al, here's a list of what we want to know about you,"***, what kind of situation this is. Aaah why did Dion even start a conversation like this in front of all the guests.
"Beauty" Dion told Dareel.
"Geez you? You're Alana? Oh, my God, it's really pretty, like what Dion told us. Hi I'm Edwin." No it wasn't Dareel's voice, I turned to the source of the voice and it turned out to be Edwin, the playboy. He stood up and extended his hand to me, and I welcomed him.
"Alana," I answered briefly to Edwin.
I accidentally looked at Dareel, he was still staring at me. This time he also smiled at me, I took my eyes off of him. What a smile that I miss so much, a warm smile that makes me always feel comfortable seeing it, first.
I don't know what I feel now.. Happy to meet him after 8 years or angry with him for leaving me and reneging on his promise to always be with me or I hate him, I don't know.
But the feeling I know for sure is a disappointment, a huge disappointment to Dareel. Because after her disappearance there were so many bad things going on in my life, I had no one who could understand me but Dareel, but he just left me. Even as I chased after him, I yelled to his name back then.
He also promised to protect me when my own Papa hurt me, but he hurt me the same. Then what's the difference between Papa and Dareel, I just hate them. Unaware of my eyes blurry by tears, I immediately wiped my tears before coming out of place.
"Alana's son was very cold if he looked from the outside, but originally he was very attentive. Right, huh?" said Nattali nudging my arm, which I replied with a nod. Seeing my response like that, Nattali suddenly said a tease to me. "Did you know each other before? Hemm, from earlier I noticed that Dareel saw Alana constantly," at once everyone laughed at Nattali's words.
"Know what the hell, only 3 hours ago met," answered me briefly staring at Nattali, hoping for her to stop teasing me. "Sometimes 3 hours of introductions can make us get rid of longing for someone, I mean, time does not guarantee self-introduction, we could have met before," damn, what he just said. Yeah, the one who talks like that is Dareel. I just heard his voice this time, you shameless, he smiled after saying those poetic words. Repugn
"Hahaahha, tumben loh speak long times base times high times squared. Your poetic soul has returned, man," said Edwin widened to hit the back of Dareel who was beside him.I do not pay attention to his words, everyone resumed their respective conversations. I saw Dareel stop looking at me and start chatting with other guests.
Well-groomed black hair, perfect jaw, a sharp nose, a tall body, what a well-grown Dareel. He's just getting taller and better. I hate him, eight years ago he left me, now he's back after everything that happened.

It didn't feel like I saw the phone turned out to be at 23:00 and everyone was out of the restaurant. It's me, Nattali, Dion and Dareel in the parking lot.
"We go home first, thanks for today." Dion smiled at me and Dareel. I nodded and released Nattali's embrace.
"Al, thanks for the flowers, pretty bangett. Can I say do not have to bring a complicated - complicated, uh even bring a flower like this," kekeh Nattali, grasping my hand. Which I replied with a warm smile at him.
"Its okay, it's not complicated at all. Brother Dion did not go home, Brother Natt, right? .. Then there the hunt came home," I said to Nattali and Dion at last, after I saw Natt's eyes wanted to cry. "Every sister-in-law. Reel, thank you, I came back first" Dion said. They both got into the car and left.
I took a deep breath seeing Dion's car leave the parking area, today was a tiring and unexpected day. I glanced at Dareel and he was staring at me with his pretty eyes. I turned around and walked no matter what, I kept walking towards my car, I guess he was gone because I didn't hear his footsteps.
Arriving at my car, I opened the car door. When I was about to get into the car, my arm was choked by someone. Dareel, I said in my heart.
"You can talk for a second, Alana,"
