Because I Don't Want to Lose
32 - Angry

Although Anaya actually knew, it was Sasikalah who came to Izzar, he was still irritated. He watched Izzar with a piercing look. However, as Izzar looked back at her with an undaunted look of innocence, Anaya receded as well.

Izzar stood next to Anaya without saying a word. Anaya, who was still hot in her heart, could not help herself.

"Why left? Poor thing, when maybe he's missing." Anaya whispers. Fishing emotions Izzar.

Izzar. He saw the face of Anaya who met reddened by the sun despite the cold air. He is not comfortable with the situation he has to face but does not want. Being in the same location as Sasika, who forced to approach him again and Anaya who was somehow feeling what to him, made his patience eroded.

He put his lips to Anaya's ear.

"I left that woman, who I also don't know why she's suddenly here, because I don't want any problems to hurt you. Especially here a lot of your family. But, if you want me to talk and talk to him, do the kangennya, it's okay! I'm back there!" Izzar said subtly but firmly. He was ready to turn his body.

Anaya quickly held back Izzar's steps by holding onto his arm. Head shakes.

Izzar. He could not bear to see regret in Anaya's eyes. He knew, this stubborn woman beside him sometimes had to be delegated so that his pride did not continue to dominate.

The two of them stood side by side, but did not speak to each other anymore. Both are drowning in their own misfortune.

"okay! Now is the next game the game of moving balloons, in pairs, without being allowed to hold or touch with hands!" exclaim Yanne.

Anaya was looking for a gap to get away. Suddenly he wanted to be alone at this moment. Izzar's tough attitude just now, slightly ripped his ego apart. But, suddenly, out of nowhere, Randi pushes Anaya and Izzar into the middle of the game arena.

"Hey! I'm not following!" Anaya tried to avoid.

Randi does not want to be denied.

"Be friendly with your husband if you don't want him around other women!" randi whispered softly but rather fiercely.

Randi's words made Anaya stunned. Apparently Randi noticed what had happened.

Anaya and Izzar as well as all the couples who took part in the game were asked to stand face to face. A person gives a balloon that must be supported by both bodies without being allowed to use their hands, and then taken to a predetermined end point without being allowed to drop it.

In the middle of the crowd, a momentary awkwardness still controlled Anaya's heart. And so did Izzar. They look at each other. Randi's warning came back, and began to feel funny in Anaya's mind. A smile spread across his lips, inviting Izzar to smile as well. Eventually the awkwardness that blocked them vanished.

As if addicted, both late to enjoy the game and other games. Both laughed out.  Anaya did not hesitate even though he and Izzar would not want to touch physically. And no matter who is in charge, Yanne who guides the game and Dian's work team like not giving Sasika the opportunity to participate.

The event ended in the afternoon, the guests rushed home, because the sky had been engulfed by heavy rain clouds. Anaya accompanied Aunt Tania to receive a farewell greeting. To Sarah's family and relatives, Aunt Tania introduced Anaya as the owner of the *event organizer*which arranged Sarah and Randi's marriage, while promoting the use of her services.

Anaya just laughed in response to her tantic treatment. He didn't mind the beauty of his tant this time. He continued to smile and say thank you while greeting one-on-one. All were friendly, except for a woman who today became a scourge that she and Izzar tried to avoid.

Sasika only gave her greeting with her fingertips. Anaya spontaneously kept her distance, even though she managed to keep smiling. Sasika's face was flat with completely unfriendly eyes. There was clearly an aura of dislike in his attitude.

However, the basis of Anaya, which sometimes even applies bravely if challenged. It even showed more hospitality to Sasika.

"Thank you for your presence!" said Anaya. Then turned to the other guests, unconcerned and thought meaningless Sasika's cat-like attitude was about to show off her fangs. He let Sasika's desire to intimidate him unsatisfied.

However, Anaya seems to be overconfident. His close proximity to the previously unobstructed Izzar caught him off guard. Sasika's last recklessness on the show escaped his observation. He was too concentrated on greeting the last guest, when Aunt Tania shook her arm and pointed to the parking area.

There looked Izzar who was hugged Sasika. Izzar was standing next to Erik.

"Eh! Who's that hugging your husband?!" Aunt Tania squealed in shock.

"Who, Nay? Sarah's family? They know each other?" Aunt Tania asked her so curious streak.

Anaya really doesn't know how to answer all her tantic questions.

"Aren't you angry?" ask Aunt Tania. "Neither polite woman is like that!"

"I'll be angry with Izzar, Auntie. Aunty has calmed down" Anaya said with a smile despite her heart heating up.

"Auntie wants to ask Sarah who she is." Aunt Tania called Sarah.

Anaya didn't prevent it. However, he quietly moved away, away from his tant. He chose to meet Dian and the other men and help them pack. He deliberately distracts her from forgetting the incident and Izzar who faithfully awaits her while talking to the guard and caretaker of her villa on the side porch.

Randi, Sarah and her nuclear family have left the villa. Finished giving appreciation to his men. Anaya is ready to return to the hotel. He was worried about staying over or going home. Because, Naira was still with Ridwan until tomorrow.

"Wanna go to the hotel now?" tanya Izzar after Anaya thanked the guard and the manager of the villa.

Anaya nodded. The annoyance he was holding back from watching Sasika's embrace earlier made him reluctant to talk. Along the way, he kept his mouth shut.

"Would you like to stay or go home?" ask Izzar. Many times he glanced at Anaya in between his concentration of driving on the winding road.

Anaya's lips were tightly clenched.

"Annaya?"

Instead of answering, Anaya turned her face to the window. He was like Naira when he was snooping.

Finally, Izzar chose silence as well. He felt sure, Anaya's attitude that again ignored him was caused by seeing the embrace of Sasika he received when the girl was going home earlier on the pretext of saying goodbye. He did not blame Anaya. He was actually annoyed by the actions of Sasika who was very brave. Fortunately, Om Erik who witnessed, after being briefly explained immediately understood and did not judge him.

Izzar was tired of facing Anaya. If only the woman next to him was honest with her feelings for him, everything would have been easier. But, Anaya has always blocked herself with their covenant commitments. But, every displeasure in his heart, he then secluded himself. Izzar can't take it anymore. He decided that he would immediately end the condition that repeatedly appeared and made him uncomfortable.

A few days later, they arrived at the hotel. Izzar deliberately parked his car in the parking area instead of lowering Anaya at the lobby door first. He is worried that Anaya will leave him, while he does not know Anaya's room number.

Izzar followed Anaya's steps. Crossing the lobby to the elevator.

"I haven't booked a room for you yet." Anaya waited for the elevator door to open. He again limited their interactions under the pretext of the contents of their contract agreement.

"I'm not staying overnight. But, we need to talk first."

"Speak what the hell? I'm tired!" Anaya tried to dodge.

"I'm tired too, Anaya! I'm tired of facing your attitude that's always like a kid like this? Snicker. Beyond Naira!" reply Izzar with an angry tone that is no longer restrained.

Anaya stunned. Izzar had never spoken so loudly to her. This man seemed to have lost some of his patience.

Suddenly, Anaya was afraid.
