You Must Go!

"It doesn't matter if you don't come, but don't be sorry if you find out that Karin was present with Alisya at Ryan's birthday party, tonight at 8 o'clock," said Zein, deliberately mentioning the names Karin and Alisya.

 Zein left Adith who sat staring at his cellphone.  Adith smiled broadly at the photo of Alisya who was fast asleep last night.  A few moments later, his phone rings.

 "Adith ... I've asked several staff and higher-ups, after of course by giving a few small gifts then they can speak clearly that the person they have been calling Mr. Ali is Alisya," explained Pak Dimas in a deep, heavy voice.  holding back his surprise.

 "You're not kidding, are you? I mean, you received this information from someone you could trust, right?"  Adith hesitated a little and didn't believe it because Mr. Ali, whom he had known, was a man, not a woman.

 "This time you can confirm the truth!"  Mr. Dimas said firmly in a confident voice.

 Adith was silent for a while, absorbing every word that was spoken by Mr. Dimas then turning around all the events that had happened before.  He remembered very well that at that time when he met Mr. Ali, he escorted himself right in front of his house.  How Alisya always shows the same characteristics as Mr. Ali.

 "Mom…" Adith immediately remembered his mother.

 "Mom seems to have known that Mr. Ali is Alisya!"  Adith remembered how his mother watched Alisya and treated her very well as if she had known her for a long time.  He quickly stood up running out of the room, because he wanted to immediately see his mother confirm before meeting Alisya directly.

 "Anyway, you have to come!"  Karin insisted, still debating the issue of Ryan's birthday.

 "You know, I hate attending events like that," Alisya avoided refusing to join.

 "No! Anyway you have to come. All of this is also because of your fault. Because of you, I hit Ryan. Therefore, you have to take responsibility!"  Karin was no less firm and a little pushy.

 Huuuhhh …

 Alisya sighed in annoyance.

 "Okay! But I can't guarantee, that I'll be there long!"  Alisya surrendered because Karin had persuaded her for almost 5 hours, from the time the first subject started to school.  Karin continued to follow Alisya home on foot.

 "Whatever! Now, come with me shopping to attend the party tonight."  Karin immediately took Alisya's hand and pulled her in another direction.  Alisya resigned to follow Karin's wishes.

 "Why do we have to go to this place? Aren't there many other places?"  asked Alisya when she was in Senayan City.  The biggest shopping mall in the city.

 "Where are you going? Why are we shopping elsewhere, if there is a place where you can shop as much as you want for free?"  Karin pulled Alisya's arm inside and immediately broke into several shops.

 "How, is this suitable or not?"  Karin picked up a soft pink one-piece dress.

 "Hum .. it suits you!"  Alisya replied, sitting back looking at Karin, who was busy choosing clothes.

 "How about this?"  Karin picked up another Tosca blue dress that wasn't too short.

 "Not bad!"  Alisya replied indifferently.

 "How about this?"  Karin is still excited to ask Alisya's opinion.

 "Not bad!"  the answer was short again.

 "Come on Alisya, I don't know which one to choose. You want me to look embarrassed at the party, Ryan? I, who always hang out with you, have rejected many people's invitations, so I've never been to a birthday party before!"  Karin's voice was weak.

 Alisya knew very well that her best friend was acting, but what she said was the truth that had been making her feel guilty.  Alisya took a deep breath and put on all the clothes that Karin was holding.

 "Stop your ugly acting and come with me!"  Alisya moved out of the shop followed by Karin, who laughed cheerfully.

 "You are the best! So? Where are we going?"  praised Karin with enthusiasm?

 "To the Top Floor!"  Alisya explained when the elevator door opened.

 "Woww ... a special lift for VVIP is different, right? This is the first time you invite me to ride here."  Karin is amazed by the elevator which is usually used for a VIP customer.  The elevator is very spacious with such a luxurious interior and the lift ceiling is no less magnificent with a view that contrasts with the color of the elevator walls.

 "This is the first time I have ridden it, since last time with Mom!"  Alisya grabbed the golden elevator handle against the elevator wall, which was where her mother used to lean.

 Ummmm …

 Karin nodded not wanting to ask more and looked around the room.

 "Tell them not to have to follow me, let them rest first!"  Alisya's lyrics to CCTV instruct her bodyguards not to follow her when she wants to spend time shopping comfortably with Karin.

 "Wow ... I should be used to it, but you always look very charismatic when in front of your subordinates!"  Karin clapped her hands softly as the elevator doors opened.

 The shop on the top floor is a shopping area with goods from well-known designers and the most expensive brands ready to spoil the eyes of those Elites who are crazy about Fashion.

 "Sorry ... High school kids are prohibited from entering here." An employee blocks Karin and Alisya's path.

 Alisya and Karin forgot that they haven't changed their clothes.  The regulations in this place are very strict, especially for those who are not well recognized.  This was done to prevent various possibilities that occur, even though the floor has fairly sophisticated and up-to-date security.

 "But we want to buy goods ..." Karin deliberately suppressed the word buy to get an entry permit.

 "Haahahahaha ... Go home, Sis. This place is not a place that can be reached by high school kids like you," the employee looked at Alisya and Karin from top to bottom with disdain.

 Once again, their appearance will indeed make people misunderstand because their uniforms look very simple even though they have the symbol of the number 1 school in Indonesia.

 "Can you call the manager who runs this place? He will certainly understand," Alisya tried to be polite considering that the female employee was quite old above her, with around 25 years of age.

 "What are you meeting with our manager? Who do you think you are to meet a busy person like him? You'd better go while I'm still reminding you in a good way," threatened the employee with sharp eyes.

 "You better call him first."  Alisya still trying to be polite.

 "Hey ... You -" another employee immediately stopped him and whispered something in her ear.  After being silent for a while, there was a hint of doubt on her face.

 "Wait here. Don't enter until I give permission!"  After giving a warning, the employee immediately went in looking for the manager.

 "Aren't some managers supposed to be here?"  Karin referred to the CCTV supervisor who should have announced Alisya's arrival.

 "I don't want to make a fuss!"  Alisya smiled and clapped Karin's palm to be patient.  Karin remembered Alisya's warning while in the elevator that gave her bodyguards off.  That means, he doesn't want to be disturbed.

 "I'm sorry ... I didn't know that the master would come here!"  the manager ran with a terrified face while lowering his head.

 Seeing the manager in such fear made the employee who was initially pointing at them arrogantly, face darkened, and trembled with fear.  This is the first time the manager is so afraid of facing a customer, while there are many types of VIP and VVIP customers that he can easily deal with, but he never looks as scared as he is now.
