The End of Long

The End of Long
The Part 32


I've been living in Mr. Andre's apartment for two days, since I haven't been anywhere just cleaning up. I stopped my work because I heard a bell ringing.


"When what are you doing?" Andre smiled at me.


"I'm cleaning up again, sir" I said it's not good because I didn't expect that Mr. Andre came. Right now I look more like ART's aunt with a duster in hand.


"You don't have to, you just call the officer to clean this up"


"No need sir, I have no job anyway. It's good looking for sweat"


"You don't have a show tonight?"


"No sir, do I have a job to help?"


"I want you to take me to the company's birthday"


"Huh" I was surprised to hear Mr. Andre's request


"Yes later that night it was the fifty-second anniversary of the company that my grandfather built" Mr. Andre said, making sure I didn't hear wrong.


"But I don't feel worthy to be present in such a way"


"Why not?"


"The invited must be important people all, I don't believe myself to come there"


I don't want to humiliate Mr. Andre for taking me to that direction. I have given some reasons to refuse. But it seems Mr. Andre doesn't care about all the reasons I give, he still wants me to go with him to that direction.


"If you don't want to come, I won't come to the show either"


"But sir this is an important event for the family of the Father, cook only because I do not want to attend the event "


"Rather than being lonely because there are no friends better not to come"


I know it's not just acaman, because all this time I know very well the character of Mr. Andre how. If Mr. Andre doesn't come to the event because I don't want to accompany him away, I feel guilty. Especially since he has been so good to me. What is difficult to grant his wish anyway I stay come, people do not necessarily pay attention to me.


"Already Lika you don't worry I have everything prepared, you just agree" said Mr. Andre when I said I did not have suitable clothes to come there.


Indeed, I am not the type of person who pays attention to appearance problems, but I also do not want to be the center of attention if I wear clothes that are not in accordance with the event.


Since I had already agreed to his request, Mr. Andre said goodbye to finish a job. He just gave me an address to go to, he said they had everything I needed. I just stay here and Mr. Andre's gonna pick me up there tonight.


As Mr. Andre said, I just sat down, because everything was prepared. I'm a little weird about my appearance this time, probably because I've never dressed up and worn expensive clothes before. I asked them several times that I didn't look too much. But they always convinced me that I was beautiful with this look.


Mr. Andre just fell silent as soon as I came to see him in the car. Several times he looked at me with a smile. I don't understand what that smile means.


"I look weird, sir?"


"You're beautiful, I almost couldn't recognize you"


"But I feel a little strange"


"Any?" mr. Andre smiled. "No really, you are really beautiful and graceful mini mala. I didn't choose the wrong place for your makeover. I'm afraid someone will have a crush on you"


"Mother could have praised me"


At first I hesitated to go inside, but Mr. Andre reassured me that everything would be fine. I just act natural enough not to attract people's attention. If they notice you, it's a sign that you're beautiful tonight.


There were some people whispering as we passed them, I don't know what they were talking about. It may be true Mr. Andre said that I do not have to care about what others think. Because it could make my confidence disappear.


The first person we met was Mr. Emil and his wife, then Mr. Andre invited me to meet his parents who were welcoming guests. I didn't want to because of what I had to talk to them about. Not necessarily they like me but Mr. Andre keeps forcing me to finally follow his wishes. Besides, it's not good if you don't say hello to them even though I was present at this event.


"This Must be Lika" it came out of the mouth of Mr. Andre's mother with a smile.


"Good night sir, ma'am yes I'm Lika"


"Here near auntie, it turns out you are very beautiful. Exactly what Andre often told a aunt" said Mr. Andre's mother while holding my hand. If his father smiles while glancing at Mr. Andre.


"Thank you Ma'am" I'm a little awkward with the familiarity that Mr. Andre's mother showed me. What she told her mother about me.


"Call aunty, won't Pa be more familiar?" Mr. Andre's mother asked for her husband's approval.


"Yes you are his friend Andre cook call Father and Mother, or if necessary call Papa Mama like Andre" said Mr. Andre's father while patting his son's shoulder. I see Mr. Andre is just smiling.


I did not expect that Mr. Andre's parents turned out to be good people, friendly and not arrogant like most rich people. It turns out that the nature of both parents of Mr. Andre decreased to his son.


"When we stay, there are still many guests that we have to greet. You just relax and enjoy the party" said Mr. Andre's father.


"Lho kok Sir anyway" said his mother


"I'm sorry I'm not used to it yet"


"The next time we talk again, Andre sometimes invite Lika to eat at home so we have a more relaxed conversation" said his mother.


"I would love to, only Lika is a bit difficult to invite" said Mr. Andre with a smile glancing at me.


I can only smile in response to Mr. Andre's words. Sir, to be honest, speaking of it. I felt bad for his parents, as if I was arrogant for his son. Although that is the reality but that does not mean I am arrogant, I just feel inappropriate if I have to be close to Mr. Andre.


"Kok saying that anyway sir" I protested Mr. Andre after seeing his parents leave us.


"Lho is right?" he said with a smile. His smile made me feel guilty for him all this time.


"Hi Ndre" said a man who came with his girlfriend.


"Hi, Erik" said Mr. Andre, shaking hands and embracing the man. It seems they have not seen each other for a long time. "How are you?" ask Mr. Andre after releasing his embrace.


"Okay, you know what's up. Now busy, yeah, until he doesn't have time to gather with us anymore" then he glanced at me "Who's this?"


"Oh introduce this Lika" Mr. Andre introduced me to his friend "Lika, this is Erik my best friend in college first"


"Lika" said as he welcomed Mr. Erik's hand


"Erik" then he glanced at Mr. Andre "Beauty yes, it turns out that Lho's taste is now a lot of improvement" they laughed together.


"This is Mia Erik's wife" Mr. Andre introduced the woman next to Mr. Erik.


"I'm Lika" I said extending a hand to the woman.


"I'm Mia" welcomed my hand to shake "this time beautiful and graceful" Ms. Mia continued.


"Thank you Ma'am" I said embarrassedly, indeed all this time I was rarely praised by such a person.


"Waduh don't call Mom dong, just call Ma'am" she patted me on the shoulder. It is clear that he is a good person and easily familiar with others.


"Because Mr. Andre's friend that's why I called Mom" I said confused.


"Why call Mr. Andre anyway?" Mr. Erik glanced at Mr. Andre.


"Now it is still very close" said Mr. Andre


"Since when Lho became kalem gini, usually very agile without cas cis cus tau-tau has been made" Mr. Erik laughed insinuating Mr. Andre.


I saw Mr. Andre just laughing in response to the innuendo of his best friend.


"Hello Mas Erik how are you?" the voice of the woman beside me greeted Mr. Erik, I'm sure it was Laura's voice. Because these few days that voice always upsets my calm. What's he doing here? don't let him do the same thing as yesterday.


"Hello Laura, good news. This who?" mr. Erik said he welcomed his greeting.


I don't intend to look at him, lest there be any more tension between us, let alone have to happen here. But he didn't seem to have come alone, because at first glance I saw him with a man. Who her? The clouds?


"Yes this is Laura's future husband"


Because I heard that I looked at him, it turned out that the Cloud he was holding, Laura was spoiled by leaning her head on the Cloud's shoulder. My calm heart had now turned hot, I was angry at what I had just witnessed. Cloud you lied that you only love me, proof that you came here with Laura in warm company. Plus Laura introduces you as her future husband and you don't dispute what Laura just said. This proves that you agree with what Laura just said.


My heart started pounding with anger, but I tried to cover it up so it wouldn't be seen by others. I looked at the Clouds in anger so that he would know that I had known his lies all along. But from what I've caught that the Cloud is currently looking at me with love and longing.


Clouds you jerk, there is currently a woman holding your hand but why are you looking at me like that. I better get out of here, I'm afraid I can't hold back my emotions anymore.


"Sir, please excuse me" I whispered to Mr. Andre.


"After I said the same to Erik" whispered Mr. Andre


"Do not stay here, let me go out" I whispered again.


"I'm sorry Rik, I want to have another guest first. You guys please continue" Mr. Andre said regardless of my advice.


"Ok, we will talk again" said Mr. Erik.


"Let's excuse me first" I said goodbye to Mr. Erik and Ms. Mia.


"Yes please" said Ms. Mia.


Actually I wanted to go out for a while to get some fresh air to ease my anger, but Mr. Andre instead wanted to come along. He said he was also a bit stuffy inside, so he took me to a small garden in the courtyard of the hotel. I choose to sit on the bench that is beside the pool.
