Go Home to Revenge
17. Invitation

Flat, only the word was appropriate to describe Dira's facial expression. Not looking angry, but not looking pity even though it looks like Rieke is really apologizing, not just acting.

"Did you let me go when I begged you to stop your torment?"

Rieke could not answer.

"My answer is Rieke!" said Dira coldly.

Rieke shook his head slowly. It was this cold attitude that frightened him even though Dira had not done anything to him. Rieke realized, the quiet oppressed would be much more ruthless when retaliating.

"So do you think I'll forgive you even if you beg me?" continued Dira.

Again Rieke could not answer. I don't know what he used to think so disturbing Dira is something fun and makes him laugh. He did not expect that his actions would bring regret.

"Go! You don't deserve to sit with a filthy girl the son of a maid like me!"

"Dira, forgive me my words too."

Dira does not flinch. "Go back to your place with the demoness! Whatever the reason, I will never forgive you both!"

"You may take your revenge on me, but I beg you not to involve my son" Rieke said with pleading eyes. Dira still does not flinch. Then Rieke left because there was no point in him talking to Dira.

Arriving at his house, Selvi's anger exploded. He didn't expect Dira to come and mess things up. And worse, it was Zaki who told Dira about the reunion.

At the reunion event, Dira stole the attention of everyone including Zaki. In fact, Selvi found Zaki looking at Dira with admiration several times.

"It can't be allowed!" geram Selvi recalled the incident.

"How did he see that?!! You sloppy Selvi, stupid!!! Why did you obey your lust?! I have to do something, lest the little one go any further!" he said while pacing restlessly in his room.

At that time, Selvi was the most popular and most beautiful female student in her school. As for Alex, he is the most handsome male student in school and becomes the dream of every female student. They fell in love and then dated. They are a couple that is predicted to be ideal and harmonious and that makes both carried away by euphoria to dare to do further. But their relationship does not last long because it turns out Alex is not enough with Selvi alone.

The next day...

"Darling, are you here? Why don't you tell me first?" Zaki was a little surprised because Selvi suddenly came without telling him first.

"Why? Don't like it when I come?"

"It's not like that, it's just that my job is so much right now."

"So I'm bothering you?!"

"No, where is it possible?! You why 'sih? Sensitive today?!" Zaki realizes Selvi's attitude is strange, not as usual. Actually, Selvi's mood was very bad since her return from the reunion event yesterday, so she became easily offended.

"There's something I want to talk about." Selvi immediately sat on the sofa in Zaki's room. Zaki followed her and sat down next to her. "I want our engagement to go forward. I've spoken to mom and dad, they agree" Selvi said without further ado.

Zaki frowning. "Why? Wait two more weeks?!"

"So you don't agree?"

"Not so, I just want to know why. Why are you so angry?"

"There's no excuse, I just want our engagement to go forward. That's all."

"Yes, I must know the reason dong," Zaki replied.

"So right, don't you want our engagement to go forward?"

"Darling, so how? Why just shut up?" Selvi shook Zaki's arm looking at her lover looking dreamy.

Zaki shook his head, throwing Dira away from his thoughts. "When is the show?"

"Tomorrow Saturday, Sunday night?"

"Alright," Zaki replied in the end. He did not want to fuss with Selvi because of this matter.

"Thank you" said Selvi, peeping at Zaki's cheek. His face that had been bent had instantly turned bright.

"Now I have to work. It doesn't matter if I just continue with my work or you want to go home first we meet again tonight?"

"You kicked me out? Why do you have in mind just work and work?! I am your lover but you are more concerned with your work!" Selvi's face was bent.

"Cell, don't you understand? My work is piling up and all of a sudden you want our engagement to go forward. I have to get everything done as soon as possible so that tomorrow Saturday I can take a leave of absence and we can have an engagement party like you want!" Zaki starts to get upset because Selvi doesn't understand her situation either.

Selvi did not reply, but she looked angry. Then the woman walked out of Zaki's room stomping her feet.

"Why is he not an adult at all? If it was Dira, without any explanation she would definitely understand something like this" Zaki murmured. Dira again, Dira again appeared in his mind.

Instead of continuing the work as he told Selvi before, Zaki grabbed his phone and contacted someone.

"Hello" said Zaki as soon as the call was connected.

"Hello Zaki, what's wrong?" voice reply on the other end of the phone.

Hearing his voice alone made Zaki feel happy. But then Zaki fell silent because he didn't know why he called Dira. He was like a reflex to contact the woman who had always disturbed his mind for the past few days.

"Hello?! Zaki's? You still there?"

"Eh .. Are you busy?" answer Zaki.

"Yes, I'm actually very busy. Is there anything you want to talk about?" reply Dira honest.

"That's uh ... Anu ... I'd like to invite you to my engagement party. Can you come?" answer Zaki.

"Of course, I'll definitely come. When's show?"

"I'll send it through the message, the time and place."

"All right."

"See you, Dira." Zaki hurriedly hung up on her.

"What's wrong with me? Why is it pounding like this?" muttered Zaki looked at his phone.

Meanwhile, somewhere else,

Dira smiled after hanging up the phone from Zaki. From the way he spoke, Dira was sure if Zaki invited him without Selvi's approval. Therefore he must come and look charming to surprise Selvi.

Dira immediately called Tia his assistant.

"What's my schedule Saturday?"

"For the month-end regular meetings, there are meetings with PT. Cipta Mulya's. In addition there is a report that you have to check and sign because Monday has to be sent to the center."

Dira's face turned pessimistic. Looking at such a tight schedule it seems unlikely that she can finish it and go to Zaki's engagement event.
