I'm Not Daria
Danced

I was confused as to what to say, I had expected it but did not know how to respond. But there was no need as Luna continued her conversation.

"My biological parents are dead, I don't even remember them."

"I'm sorry."

"no need. So Pandu and Shinta raised me as their child, Shinta didn't like me, I knew that from the beginning. So don't mind him when he's being rude to you. He hates my courage and Daria."

"Yes, according to him Daria and Luna are very Wild girls. And ever since I hung out with them, she started seeing me as a wild girl too. He originally liked me." Bella added.

"Did they not have children of their own?" my many. We were standing in a quiet corner and at the moment no one came to see us.

"No, Shinta couldn't have children so they chose to adopt." Bella answered

"The guide and Shinta are very different. I haven't known them for a long time but Pandu looks really nice. Shinta instead ."

"The opposite is interesting, I think," Bella shrugged. "Oh, I haven't introduced you to my parents. Let's go".

"Dad? Mommy?" Bella said, interrupting what sounded like a business conversation between several adults.

"Yes, honey?" The woman asked and then her eyes looked at me. "Oh, Daria"

For the umpteenth time I was hugged.

"Happy birthday! You've grown so much since the last time I saw you. I still can't believe you're here in front of me" said the woman, sounding like she was about to cry. I'm guessing she's Viona Hannan, "Oh Tio right?"

"Yes, right," the man behind her agreed. "Our little daughter has grown into an extraordinary woman".

We talked to them for a while until we heard soft music being played.

Suddenly a man in front of me stood with his hands outstretched .

"May I dance with you?" She asked. He's very handsome. She has dark brown eyes that slightly remind me of Devan.

"Do it," said Luna, grinning as she pushed me towards her. "He's a man Daria wants to buy".

"Wait, what?" I panicked, but by then the man had already grabbed my hand. She gave me a soft kiss on my knuckles before taking me to the dance floor

I felt awkward knowing that this was the man Daria was dating and she was having an affair because of that she wanted to buy it and now she thought it was me.

"Hey," she said with a smile on me. We were the first to dance and after us, many couples joined us on the dance floor. We swayed lightly following the music.

"Hi, Raka," I smiled at him nervously. Bella told me about him. He is the most popular boy in Daria High School and is also handsome.

"You look beautiful today, happy birthday."

"Thank you."

"So.. You still want to buy me?" He said and laughed.

My cheeks were flushed with embarrassment even though I wasn't the one doing it. But I feel ashamed because of Daria.

"T-no".

Raka looked a little confused: "You've changed. You almost look nervous?"

"Eh said who? I'm never nervous!" I said with as much confidence as he could muster

"alright. It was more like Daria hihi"

I did not answer and we continued to dance in silence. The song is coming to an end, I really want to go. I barely knew the man and if he said or asked me something I didn't know, it would most likely mess things up.

"Listen, I know we didn't end our relationship so well last time that you wanted to buy me as if I were an item, I'm responsible for your departure, but I just want to apologize. What I did was wrong," he said, staring at me with a pacifier.

"Aren't you going to say anything?" She asked.

"I don't know what to say" I answered honestly.

"It's okay, you don't have to answer. But I want you to know that I want you back. I'll fix our relationship, only if you give me a chance."

"Raka, I don't know. I don't think that's a good idea".

"At least consider it, please. I'll give you time to think about what you want. I'll wait for you, always."

I didn't answer. This conversation became too awkward and confusing for me.

I didn't realize that we were halfway to the second song, I no longer wanted to dance with her, especially as she started to get closer.

"Raka," I warned.

"Can't I get a little kiss?"

"No!!!"

There's no way I'm gonna lose my first kiss to this stranger. Plus, she is Daria's ex.

Suddenly, I was taken away into a different embrace. I was happy that I no longer had to deal with Raka. hearing the 'hey' voice behind us but she skillfully took me away from Raka.

When I looked up, I felt relieved. She was the only one who made me feel comfortable dancing with her

"What was that? You can't just take me like that. Not that I'm not happy you're bothering us."

"Yes, you don't look too happy to be in his arms. And shouldn't I dance with a birthday girl at least once?" Gio winked at me.

"So how's it going with Anna?"

I'm glad that she finds Anna attractive and tries to get to know her. But lately I've been thinking about both of them a lot and don't like the direction of all this.

"Gio, I have to tell you something. Don't be mad at me."

He furrowed his brows in confusion, "I will never be able to get angry at you, especially when it is your birthday."

"Okay, I'll be honest, I don't think you need to go after Anna".

Gio suddenly stopped, but continued our dance after a while. "Why?"

"Trust me. Don't fall in love with her. You'll just get hurt. Look, I don't want any of you to get hurt because of your feelings, so before you fall in love with her, you better not do that. That's what's best for you."

"I'm sorry, but I don't understand what you mean. Why should I get hurt?"

Because if we get caught someday, we're gonna have to go and I don't think you're a good fit for a regular person.

"I can't tell you. Maybe in time you'll know why, but I can't tell you."

Gio looked at me seriously as if I had just stolen a poor little kid's candy.

"I don't think I can do that, Daria. I'm sorry, but I can't and won't do it. Now, if you allow me," Gio looked back. "Devan, dance with Daria for a second? Thanku".

With that, Gio left me and walked away, I was in Devan's arms.

"Hey

"Hey," I said,

"Why do you look upset? What did Gio tell you?"

I shrugged my shoulders. "Nothing." I gasped as he dropped me, and was caught with one hand.

"It seems like nothing to me." Devan said after he pulled me up.

"Some things about Anna".

Devan nodded and we swayed to the rhythm of the music. Many people have now joined the dance floor, dancing with their respective partners.I saw Gio dancing with Anna, Liam and Nathalie dancing very closely, and Ardhika and Samantha.

"It's the first time we've danced together" Devan murmured and I looked at him.

"Yes" I said

We danced for a while until my eyes fell upon a familiar blonde, a green-eyed demon dressed as an angel. He had just entered and was so shocked to see him. It's been a long time since I last saw her,

Instantly, I became stiff in Devan's arms, my eyes fixed on the figure at the end of the room. He seemed to be looking for someone.

"Are you okay?" He asked, looking at me worriedly.

"Eh.. Devan, I want to go to the bathroom first yes, you just dance with Luna" I said as I pushed Luna into her arms. Fortunately, he was near me.

I immediately ran towards Anna who was still in Gio's arms. I pulled him away from her. Gio looked annoyed by the disturbance and then his eyes were fixed on me.

"Daria? Come on, can't I dance with her?"

"Gio, I really need to borrow it for a while. It's not because of what we're talking about."

I didn't wait for her answer and dragged Anna to the bar.

"Oh, what the fuck, Darla".

"He's here."

"Who?"

"The girl," I said, pointed to the girl who had been the source of my distress. "The devil?"

"God. What's he doing here?"

"I don't know."

"So, what are we gonna do?"

"We need to get out of this party. That's the only way".

"Cannot be. You can't leave your own birthday party"

"Yes, I can if there's a risk of us getting caught"

"We're not gonna make it. The door's on that side and he's there, too."

I'm looking for a way out but there's no. We're trapped. It didn't help because it was my birthday party, it was Daria's birthday. That's why he must be here

I looked at him, hoping he would magically disappear.

He was talking to someone. She looks beautiful. She was wearing a cream and silver mermaid evening dress. Her black hair was perfectly smoothed and her eyes looked beautiful with facial makeup. His dark skin looked soft and smooth like chocolate. He looked like an angel who came down from heaven.

I know him. He is not an angel. "Damn," we said in unison.

But I know, she's not an angel.

Suddenly, the person he was talking to pointed at us, the women started walking towards us. Anna and I turned around at the same time.

why is he here?!!! my inner
