WITH YOU, ME AND MY HEART
49

At night at James's.

After Maghrib James asked Julia to accompany him to the party of one of James' business partners. Julia got ready and put on the dress that James had bought for her. After the bath, Julia opened the light blue box that James had placed on the bed.

Julia makeup herself with a simple make up and apply pink liptin on her lips. When she was done, Julia took her phone on the table and went down.

Many times James saw a time machine attached to his wrists that looked luxurious. It's been almost half an hour since James waited for Julia downstairs, but Julia hasn't come down yet.

James walked up to it - here in front of the stairs, he started to get restless. It's not about her late at the party but about the shirt Victor gave her this afternoon for Julia. Honestly she was curious, what kind of dress Victor sent her.

'' No..tuk... tak...tuk...''

The sound of footsteps began to sound down the stairs. James was silent and turned toward the source of the sound. James froze, occasionally swallowing his saliva violently.

Julia went down the stairs slowly. The dress was in matching color with her lips stuck so beautifully on her body. Neatly bunned hair with clasps is made of cherry blossom shaped diamonds that add to its elegance.

A beautiful smile on her lips. It makes James even more excited. Without James realizing it, he had stretched out his ladder helping Julia down the last rung of the ladder.

Keeping his hand on Julia tightly, James took her out to the car Victor had set up.

'' Please madam, '' said Victor.

'' Thank you Victor.'' Julia Sahut.

James looked awkward, confused about what to do or what to talk to Julia about. '' Ciiiit....'' The car that Julia and James were riding stopped suddenly made James suddenly hug Julia, as well as Julia who closed her eyes in James' arms.

'' What are you doing Victor?'' James asked in anger.

'' I'm sorry sir, it looks like something is crossing the Road, '' Victor replied straight out of the car.

'' em... James... '' James let go of his embrace. Shortly after, Victor got back in the car.

'' Apaa ....'' Julia and James looked back at each other as the questions they were asking went hand in hand. While Victor who witnessed it just smiled.

Julia looked awkward and averted her eyes. James continued his question. '' How's Victor?''

'' Emh. no master, '' Victor shook his head. Victor drove his car back to his destination.

There James led Julia into the room. There were a lot of people there, including Julian.

'' Hi bro...'' Say hello to James by patting him on the shoulder.

While Julia recalled the moment she entered the room with James earlier, she saw a woman talking to her brother. They look very close. Unfortunately Julia could not see the woman's face because it was covered by someone's shoulder.

'' Brother? Who was that waniya who was next to big brother earlier?'' Look at Julia with her sister.

Julian smiled and said goodbye to James. '' James I go first, there's something I need to do.''

Not yet able to answer, Julian had moved away towards the exit. James took his wife to the host.

'' Hey bro, congratulations yes, success always.''

'' Hiya... James, thank you very much, o. yes you do not knowkaaaannn, said business associate James glanced at Julia.

'' O yes, meet Julia, my wife.... Julia..this is John my business partner, said James.

Julia received the hand of James' business partner with a smile. '' Julia, ''' said Julia.

'' John.''

'' Let's love we meet my other colleagues.''

James took Julia to meet with another business partner.

'' Stingy base, '' murmured John.

When James and Julia were talking, someone started their welcome. Yes, the host John, started opening his show.

'' Thank you to the audience, invited guests, business associates who have attended, actually I do not deserve to hold a birthday event like this, he said, but because the family is pushy and also a celebration of the progress of business that we have built so far, I finally say yes, hopefully colleagues - colleagues can enjoy this simple party event.''

'' I send it to my colleagues who want to dance, thank you.''

A few young people began to take their partner to the dance floor and John walked down the podium towards James and Julia. John lowered his head and extended his right hand towards Julia. Julia who received the helping hand was cackling, confused.

" Miss, may I ask you to dance for a moment" John asked.

" Has he gone mad? Doesn't she know I'm someone's wife?" Inner Julia.

The confused Julia turned towards James. James nodded his head. " James are you sure?" Ask Julia wonder.

James smiled and nodded slowly. Finally Julia received a helping hand from John and John took her to the dance floor. John holds Julia by the waist and Julia puts her hand on John's neck. Although it looks like Julia still dances with John.

John glanced at James who kept staring at his wife. " Baj basis***an," grumbled James in his inner being.

John intentionally tightened his embrace so that there was no distance between him and Julia. James who saw it grew furious. James clenched his hands tightly. Inwardly Julia said," what did she do."

" I'm sorry sir, isn't this too much?" Julia said.

" Miss.you are too sweet to waste" replied John.

" Em .. I think you're exaggerating sir, I think there are still many other women more beautiful than me."

" But I don't want them, the lady's presence is so blinding to my eyes that I can't look at another woman."

As John lulled with what he said, James took Julia's hand and took her in his arms. John still stood stiff getting a reply from James.

" You're a brash James" he murmured in annoyance.

On the other hand James smiled triumphantly, able to reply to John's disrespectful treatment.

" James, what are you doing?" Julia slapped James' shoulder.

" I'm sorry Julia, I was forced to say yes, she asked you in front of my business partners, I can't do anything, I'm sorry baby."

" James I'm thirsty."

James takes Julia to a table with a waiter in front of him who serves several drinks. John approached them and greeted them.

" Hey....." John said as he lifted the glass of drink the waiter gave Julia.

John winks his eyes at the waiter while Julia and James are not aware of it.

Julia received a glass of drink given by the waiter to her. Because her throat feels dry, Julia drinks the drink until it runs out unceremoniously.

A few minutes later, Julia's head was dizzy. His eyes twitched - firefly. He could barely hear what James was saying to him.

" Julie.... Juuu liiii aaa," James' voice echoed in Julia's ear. Julia began to rumble hallucinations and went to run to the dance floor when she heard music up beat in play.

Julia was dancing while James and John were following her dumbfounded at seeing Julia skillfully dancing, while the people there began clapping.

" What you gave him ha," James pulled John's shirt.

" I didn't do anything, weren't you there?"

" Look out of you." James let go of his cloak violently then walked towards Julia cackling his hand and took her away forcefully.
