"Daddy it doesn't matter if you want to invite anyone, but other times you should be able to distinguish it. This party can be said to be just a party of family and close relatives, but because you both have invited your friends, eventually it was Victoria who could not participate ..."
The feast was truly over, when Arshlan had spoken at length, giving special advice to Leo and Dasha who were bowed in silence.
Arshlan was disappointed to find that the absence of her daughter-in-law was due to the media crew who participated due to Leo's invitation, as well as the presence of Dasha's friends who came because of the presence of their idol Lisa.
I'm sorry, sir, because I was too happy to meet Miss Lisa, I forgot something very important .." Dasha's face was filled with regret, and her eyes went on.
Seeing the sight made Lana could not bear to see it so as to embrace Dasha's fragile shoulder.
"Here you go, Dasha, don't be sad. But next time you should be able to tell the difference, and don't repeat it."
"Yes, ma'am, I'll remember."
Lana nodded, hearing the earnestness behind Dasha's words.
"I'm sorry, too, Dadd, I really didn't mean to make Victoria unable to mingle at this party, I thought she wasn't feeling well enough to be invisible throughout the party ..."
"You are, when can you pay more attention to your own wife?"
"I'm sorry, Dadd," Leo bowed lethargic.
Really Leo did not lie, he did not even realize the absence of Victoria because it was too busy talking and joking with his colleagues until the end of the event
"Here you go, next time, you should be more sensitive too. Don't ignore your wife anymore, especially at a family moment like this .." concluded Arshlan, who was greeted with a nod of the head by Leo.

'The girl must have been very sad ...'
Quietly the tail of Luiz's eyes had been watching Dasha's lethargic steps that were following Leo's steps, about to head for the elevator that would take them to the second floor.
Leo is seen stepping with his hands raised, massaging the tip of his temple, while Dasha continues to bow in, signifying his deep regret.
Since the party began, Luiz has been aware of Victoria's absence, but she is reluctant to ask questions to avoid misunderstandings.
Luiz must be able to keep Leo feeling, even more so not wanting to make jealous of Dasha, his little lover.
In essence Luiz did not want to be seen that he was still paying attention to Victoria, even though what he did was limited to reasonableness.
"Luiz, you better get some rest."
"Yes, Dadd, I do have to rest as soon as possible because I'm going to headquarter tomorrow morning, and I'm going to work."
"You don't want to rest a day or two ...?"
Luiz shook his head. "No, Dadd. I'd rather work than rest too long. My body hurts when I sleep too much and it doesn't work ..."
"Goodoo. You're exactly Daddy, a hard worker!" Arshlan patted Luiz on the shoulder proudly.
"Of course it's exactly you, baby. Who else would it be ...?"
Lana's light humor has finally produced a small laugh at the lips of Arshlan and Luiz, simultaneously.

When Leo opened the door of his room, the situation of the room was dim.
Victoria's body was lying facing the wall as if forming a silhouette.
Leo opened his suit slowly, throwing it on the sofa near the window. Then his fingers loosened the tie, throwing it back in the same direction.
Leo walked toward the bathroom with fingers that also moved, unbuttoning his shirt one by one.
Since then Leo has felt if his head is a little dizzy.
The last few days of Leo's schedule is very dense, making him sleep less so that his body feels a little uncomfortable.
Coupled with the champagne effect during the party just made Leo's head more dizzy.
While it was ...
Upon hearing the door handle being opened from the outside, Victoria who had just thrown her body on the bed immediately turned her body towards the wall.
'That must be Leo ...'
In Victoria's heart murmured.
From that afternoon Victoria was no longer going anywhere. Just stay in the room tinkering with the phone, until Victoria was bored herself, then decided to lay her body on the bed, trying to drive away all the sadness that always stopped in the heart room.
Family moments like this were extremely rare, and should have been the only chance for Victoria to find a gap, gaining a little place in the heart of every member of this great family.
But what can be done, easily Dasha and Leo have destroyed all those opportunities.
In this house, Mr. Arshlan is the only person who is well-come with his presence, because Mrs Lana has not yet been able to accept his presence, while Luiz who was once very good, is not yet, he has become a stranger to her.
After a few moments of silence, the sound of the open bathroom door had left Victoria even more silent and unresponsive. Pretending asleep.
"Vic .. Have you slept?" leo's voice rang out as the man climbed into the same bed as Victoria.
Silent.
"Vic ..." this time right behind Victoria's back, so that the warm breath scented fresh toothpaste, a unique collaboration with the aroma of champagne that was still left behind despite the faint, hit the crumbling nape of Victoria.
Leo breathed slowly. "I know you haven't slept, but you're very angry ..."
Next to Leo's arm he tried to slip past Victoria's neck, so he could easily carry her into his arms.
"I'm so sorry .." whispered Leo again slowly, although from the beginning, none of his words were reciprocated. "Because I already invited my friends .. I forgot you ..."
"Leo, stop. I'm sleepy, don't talk anymore .." concluded Victoria without turning her head, but it turns out the sentence is quite powerful because in the end Leo does not talk anymore. Just hugging in silence.
'Tumben both his hands were silent. Usually, if it is like this, it has crossed the buana here and there ...'
Victoria nodded when she realized Leo's naughty hands this time as if she did not have the strength to adventure, besides embracing without a sound
'Why is he silent? Is he sleeping ...? But ... yes Leo can sleep that fast ...?'
Slowly Victoria felt her body being fed by the heat.
'Why does it feel so hot? Is the ac dead ...? Why is my body temperature ..."
As Victoria moved a little, her hand had touched Leo's arm that was coiled there.
Warm.
Realizing that Victoria reflex turned around, found Leo's haggard face that was so close to her face.
"Your body is hot, are you sick?"
Leo shook his head in a doldrums. "Just a little unwell, maybe because it's too tired ..."
"I'll call the doctor ..." Victoria rushed up, but as she was about to get out of bed, her wrists were blocked.
"No need."
"But ..."
"Drinking an aspirin later also resolves ..."
"In a drunken state, should not take aspirin ..."
"Then calling the doctor is free."
"But ..."
"Come here and just massage my head."
Victoria was silent, especially as her hand in Leo's grasp was slowly carried over the man's head, which had now closed his eyes.
Although a little hesitant, Victoria finally obeyed Leo's wishes, undoing his intention to move on.
Slowly Victoria's fingers moved down the black, slightly wavy strands of Leo's hair, trying to massage the scalp carefully.
Not a moment to do so, Victoria was again surprised when Leo's body inched closer, and the man had put his head on Victoria's lap just like that, still with a pair of eyes closed ...
