"Hi, you must be Juliet. I'm Maxim." Two unidentified men came up to Juliet with outstretched arms. Juliet flinched as she frowned, because she had never seen the two men before.
A brunette man with dimples, as well as a black-haired man whose height may be above 180cm.
"Ah, sorry. You must be confused. We're Romeo's friends, we've seen you before, at Gabe's party. And this is my friend, Troy" said the man named Maxim. The man who has dimples. "Yes. I don't really remember. I'm sorry." said Juliet being so friendly.
Juliet is alone, because Romeo went with James to meet someone who he said was an important guest of the James family. Juliet didn't ask anything, because she said they only left for a little while. He was asked not to go anywhere.
That was why he obediently waited across the table a little away from the crowd. But even so, it was Juliet herself who decided not to familiarize herself with anyone. Including with her husband's friends. It can be dangerous if he does something out of control. He knows no one except James and Rachael.
"If you want to meet Romeo, as you have to wait, Romeo is leaving with James. So you guys,-
Maxim, the man chuckled, making Juliet look at the two with a frown. Is there anything funny about my words? "I'm sorry if I'm being disrespectful." Maxim still held back a laugh. "We're not here to meet Romeo. But we want to meet you. You don't mind if we're here with you?"
"Speaking?" what do they want to talk about? are they really insensitive? since when do I look happy with them? "What?" juliet said she didn't want to make small talk. "We just want to know more about you. You look interesting." the guy called Troy interrupted. The man also smiled, and was slightly more handsome than the man named Maxim.
"About me?" Juliet laughs blandly. "I'm sure there's nothing interesting about me" she said, "At some point we might never see each other again" Juliet said.
"Why? you want to go back to your country? or are you going to another country?" Juliet grunts. He did not know if the two men had more curiosity towards him until like this. "Yes. I'll be back soon."
Juliet is not who the men think she is, but let it be. She is too lazy to tell more about herself. They will never meet again. "It's a pity then." Sela Troy again. "It would be nice if we could gather more often to familiarize ourselves. Especially if you can be more familiar with the lover than your cousin" he said a little regretfully.
Cousin's girlfriend? meaning Romeo? Juliet is back. "My cousin's brother has a lover? who?"
"You don't know?" Juliet shakes. Of course he doesn't know. If he knew Romeo had a lover, he might have had a reason to refuse his betrothal. But all this time Romeo never said anything about lovers, nor ex-lovers. Never does.
"You know who they're meeting right now?" strange question. Once again Juliet shook her head accompanied by a frown. "The one Romeo met with James was the daughter of the Troner family. That's Rebecca Troner. The daughter of the deputy PM" he added.
"I remember, as long as we were friends, Becca was the first woman to make an ice man like Romeo melt" the two told proudly, because you can share Romeo's romance story that Juliet does not know in the least.
"Said Becca just got back last week. And have plans to settle here again with his family. I'm sure Romeo must be flowering right now. After all, they used to be a great couple." Now Maxim is the one who tells the story with a little enthusiasm.
"of course. Plus Becca is a beautiful woman. Many sons of other businessmen are also pursuing him. Even at the beginning of his return at the airport. I saw the news." both of them laughed.
Hearing stories she had never known before made Juliet's head throb. How could Romeo have never mentioned anything like this before? plus, a lover? Hid. Coulda.
From where he stood, Juliet unknowingly saw Romeo coming out from behind the door, just across the street. It was quite far from his place, and behind him was a woman following. Is that the guy?
"You see." Maxim's voice that was standing next to Juliet looked the same way. Juliet doesn't really hear what the man is saying, because of the music being played.
"The girl's name is Becca. Romeo's lover." added a little scream. Juliet who had been observing Romeo was irritated by the fact she had just discovered. A lover? Hid. Just be right. "Want a drink?" tawar Troy who also stood to the right of Juliet.
At the moment these three are already like a group of observers who have nothing to do but pay attention and cram some facts about what they are looking at. One of them is Romeo.
Goddamn bum. He said you wanted to acknowledge our relationship. But what now? you have a lover without my knowledge? huh! Your first love? Juliet really feels inflamed. He could have believed Romeo's words while the man never said anything about him.
His heart really hurt. He thought their relationship was okay. He thought there was nothing they needed to cover up anymore. But what is all this? first love? the lover who came back?
Juliet's eyes again rounded perfectly with a sense of heat that began to crawl inquiring. When he saw the woman standing in front of her husband was smiling indistinctly while struggling spoiled. It would be stupid if I believed you now!
It sucks! the view ahead really does make the eyes hurt.
You think only you can play with my feelings like this? you fucking jerk. Liars. Juliet berates Romeo in heart.
"You dance?" So angry to see Romeo with other women, Juliet wants to do anything to avenge the man's actions on her. That's why he invited one of the men nearby to dance. He wanted to show that he could do anything without Romeo.
The stupid time of not being able to attract attention. It's stupid not to talk to strangers. Stupidity is also with only yours! You liar!
"You're taking me? sure." Troy gladly welcomes Juliet's hand, and accepts the woman's invitation to dance. Without knowing that at this time the woman was just using herself to make the man standing across there feel what she was currently feeling. That's if Romeo really cares about him.
In the middle of the dance floor filled with several dance couples, Troy clasped Juliet's hands and wrapped his hands around her waist until the position of the two actually became close.
Juliet's body is bristling. Honestly, he felt a little uncomfortable being this close to a stranger. But luckily, it seems like Troy is not a guy who likes to look for opportunities.
"Just tell me I'm making you uncomfortable" said Troy, who was making his first move. Juliet said nothing. His mind was currently being filled with something else. He just moves on with his instincts. After all, he was used to dancing when accompanying opa Adam, first.
"You okay?" ask Troy again, when pulling Juliet to reunite with him. "Hem. I'm fine." said Juliet. "I haven't danced in a long time, so I'm a little nervous."
Luckily the man dancing with Juliet right now is a pretty sensitive guy as well as a polite guy. When the music reaches the middle, Troy again turns Juliet's body and a glimpse of Juliet can see the gaze of Romeo who is currently staring intently at him.
Degs...
Juliet's heart was beating fast. But not because he was happy. Quite the contrary, because he felt angry to see the woman who he said was the lover of her husband continued to stick next to her husband like a caterpillar.
Juliet's breath was a bit of a hunt when once again she had to turn, and Troy quickly pulled back her hand until their bodies were back in their proper positions, and the music was over.
Troy bowed to pay his respects to his dancing partner. "You're so great. I can hardly believe that you haven't danced in a long time." praised Troy. The man was still being polite, not knowing that Juliet was just using her.
"You're Troy too. Looks like you're used to events like this too." Juliet replied. "Well, I can say that." Both of them returned to their original places. Still with a little breath hunting Juliet almost jerked when he realized that Romeo was now standing right in front of him.
The eyes of the two meet. The sharp highlight of Romeo's netra makes Juliet a little goosebumps. It's just, he won't budge because of bullying the man who's been lying to him.
"Romeo. You're here?" Troy stood beside Juliet with a smile. "I asked your cousin to dance, just now. You don't mind, do you?" troy broke the silence. Romeo did not flinch.
"You're done, aren't you? I have to take Juliet with me." said Romeo coldly. He ignores Troy's exact whereabouts standing next to Juliet. His gaze was only on the woman who was currently rummaging through her common sense. "We're not done yet. I still have a debt of one more dance." Juliet replied quickly, she hooked her hand back on Troy's arm.
Troy, who doesn't know there's such a thing, just keeps quiet following Juliet. "Then we'll excuse you. You busy? proceed anyway. I won't bother you." Juliet said with a cynical look.
Right now he was not wanting to fight and make a fuss in front of many people. Yet Juliet also did not want to be treated like a surrogate woman by a man who looked at her sharply like this. That's why it's better to avoid.
"Come on Troy." Juliet pulls the man's hand but is confronted by Romeo. "Who will let you dance again. We go home now." stop Romeo full of warnings. Romeo also pulls off the hands of Juliet who was previously coiled in the hands of Troy.
"Wow. bro. relax. I didn't do anything weird with your cousin." Sela Troy realizes Romeo's anger.
"Go to Troy. It's our business." - Romeo stared intently at the man who had touched his woman.
Juliet who did not want to be dragged in front of many people pulled her hand quickly from Romeo's grasp. Enough of it being humiliated. Plus he also had to accept all Romeo's lies. Juliet really can't take everything for granted.
"Deliver! I can walk by myself."
