Arriving at her destination, Almira immediately became the center of attention. After all, the woman's beauty was able to entice any man not to take his eyes off her.
Almira immediately walked to the table in the corner. He didn't care about all the pairs of eyes that were fascinated by his arrival.
Almira immediately ordered a coffee latte as a friend to release all the fatigue that had been crammed into her chest, which had been tight for a long time. The woman hopes that, by spending time in this place, she can make her forget for a moment all the problems that now feel piled up on her shoulders.
"Hey, Al, you came here alone? Where's your husband?" Someone asked without permission and sat down in front of Almira.
Almira immediately glared at the person in front of her in annoyance. It's certain that the calming down event that Almira was going to do was disbanded because of the presence of the uninvited guest.
"Hey, Almira! Why are you daydreaming? Did something happen?" He asked surprised to see Almira not making a sound.
"Come on, David! Can't you give me peace? I want to enjoy me time, so please get out of the way!" Almira was annoyed at the man in front of her who turned out to be named David..
"How can it be like that! As a friend as well as a friend from your childhood until now, I would never leave you in a state of confusion like this. I'll be there, preparing this shoulder of mine so you can lean on it," he said fieryly.
"Good grief! What a dream I have a friend like you Komodo dragon! Alright, there you go back to your woman! Later they will misunderstand again and continue to make my head spin!" Almira shooing really didn't add to the pain in her head.
"Almira my dear, you take it easy. Today I came with my friends from work. There they are!" Pointed to David at a table not too far from them.
Almira averted her gaze following David's index finger. However, his eyes instead focused on David's friends who were now greeting him, but on the table directly behind the table where David's friends were sitting.
"So take it easy, Al. Today, I'm yours!" David's chirping managed to make Almira's focus shift to him.
"Really?" Almira asked in a voice choked with sadness.
"Yes of course, I can't possibly go back on my words Almira," replied David with full sincerity.
"Then, be my lover for some time to come," said Almira managed to make a smile on David's lips instantly widen.
"Did I hear right? Princess Almira Chandra asked me to be her boyfriend? Pinch me, Al! So I know I'm not dreaming!" David asked holding out his hand.
Plak!
Almira slapped her best friend's hand. Of course he was annoyed to see David's lebay response.
"Wow, Al. I really wasn't dreaming. So, what are we gonna do first as lovers, Hem? Shall we just check-in at the hotel?" David's squeak managed to make him receive a death pinch from Almira.
"Haphazard! It's good to just play ngamar! What kind of girl do you think I am?" Almira grumbled with a sullen face.
"Yes, Princess Almira, forgive Your servant. I'm just kidding. So, why did you ask me to be your girlfriend?" David asked getting serious.
"We move to your friend's table and introduce me as your girlfriend! Feed me, pamper me. But, you must remember! Keep a safe distance of five meters from me!" Almira's press made David roll his eyes immediately.
"Come on, Almira. You're not kidding. How can I do that to you if I have to keep a safe distance of five meters from you. Seriously!" David annoyed with a frown on his face.
"Erm, all right. I'll break down the safe distance limit. Five centimeters?"
"Yes, that's the only thing I can do to still look intimate with you. Why did I have to do that, Al?" David asked confused. The reason is, Almira is not a woman full of drama. There's no way that girl would do anything if it wasn't for a reason.
"Look at the table behind the one you were sitting on! Who's there?" Almira said, lowering her gaze.
David obeyed and immediately did what Almira had ordered him to do. His eyes immediately rounded, as soon as he saw who was there.
"Is that your husband, Al? How could he be so affectionate with another woman? Doesn't he respect you as his wife?" David growled furiously. Even though he is also a player, but if you see his childhood friend being hurt like this, of course David doesn't accept it.
"Come on, Dav, you know very well why I got married to him. Actually I don't mind if he does something crazy it's not in a public place where anyone can see their behavior. Ah never mind. I don't know what else to do, Dav. I just want to look fine in front of him," Almira whispered, looking down, holding back sadness.
David gripped his best friend's hand tightly, as if transmitting power through the touch.
"Let's show him that you are worth more than anything. You won't lose with a petty Casanova like that," said David making Almira nod her head.
They walked straight to David's friends table. Of course, their arrival was immediately welcomed by David's friends.
"Gosh, Dave! Actually, what kind of magic do you have, to be able to hold this beautiful Miss?" Asked one of David's friends, shaking his head..
"Hey, of course my good looks are always useful in every opportunity. But, it's not only good looks that can make me melt him, but also love that is full of sincerity," replied David, making the laughter of his friends explode.
The commotion that created at David's table made Daffa, who was busy playing bribes with the woman he was going to date, immediately distracted. Moreover, the name Almira heard when she introduced herself to the men at the next table made Daffa really curious.
As soon as he turned his head, his eyes immediately rounded perfectly to see his wife who was surrounded by many men. What caught his attention, there was a man who seemed very close to Almira and proclaimed himself to be the woman's lover.
Of course it made Daffa's hands clenched tightly. It's easy for the man to claim to be Almira's lover, while the woman has officially become his wife.
"Mr. Daffa, what do you see?" Asked the woman who is now accompanying Daffa on a date.
Daffa turned, and immediately snorted in annoyance.
"I will transfer your payment immediately. Now, go home!" Daffa ordered who was not interested in playing anymore.
"You mean? Didn't we have fun yet?" asked the woman in surprise.
"Go! I'm not interested anymore! Just do what I say and don't make me angrier!" Daffa growled with her sharp gaze.
"W-well, sir."
The woman immediately left Daffa who was suddenly filled with anger. Even though he was confused and didn't know what had happened, he wasn't in the mood to ask questions that would get him in big trouble.
Meanwhile Daffa, who couldn't stand the sound that hurt her ears so much from the side table, immediately stood up.
The man walked with his hands clenched tightly. His eyes were red with anger that was ready to explode any minute.
As soon as he reached the table where Almira was sitting, his presence that no one had noticed made Daffa snort in annoyance.
The man immediately grabbed Almira's hand, making the woman reflexively stand up.
"We're going home now!" Daffa said in a clear voice holding back anger.
"B-but…."
"WE'RE HOME NOW, ALMIRA!"
