32

"What's this?" I asked Wrum when he entered my room and I turned to his side where I saw him with a woman so I was surprised. What is he doing here? "And who's with you?"

I looked at her given a large black colored paper bag. It even has the logo of an expensive brand and then I saw inside of it. A dress. Color black.

"Don't ask me anymore. Just wear that," he said to me. I looked up at him. "And she will take care of you. She needs to fix yourself, your face. To look presentable." he added.

Fixing my face to look presentable? Well, I can fix myself without the help of any makeup artist.

I cleared my throat. "I can handle myself. I can take care of myself." and that was a fact if he knew. "Without her. Without anybody's help."

"We're going somewhere and you need to look presentable this time," he said calmly to me. It's a good thing he knows how to talk to me even without shouting. "And you have to follow what I want."

It's almost night. I don't think we have to go out somewhere. I'd locked in this room then witnessed again how they would kill anyone.

"Are you serious that I need to be with you? And where are we going?" asking him curiously.

"You'll know it later." he just told me. He faced the woman next to him. "Take good care of her." Wrum reminded the woman.

I would love to tell him something, but I couldn't do it anymore. The woman introduced herself to me and she was Benny, a make-up artist, and a hairstylist.

I wanted to tell hee that I didn't want her to fix my face and her. because it's okay for me to do it and I can do it on my own. She still insisted on me that he would fix me because it was Wrum’s order. I could do nothing but let her do what Wrum told her to do.

Benny also fixed me for about two hours. And now, she’s done fixing me up. I was already wearing the black dress, Wrum had given me earlier. I looked at myself in the mirror. I'm beautiful. Am I?

"I'll be going downstairs Ma'am Silic," Benny said goodbye to me. Nodding at her is what I did and saw her carrying his big bag with plenty of makeup.

"All right Benny. Thanks for fixing me." I'll just tell her. She smiled and nodded at me and then immediately turned her back on me.

I turned my gaze back to the mirror. I smiled. Then I immediately stood up as well, grabbing the pouch near the glass, and started walking towards the door. I opened it and came out.

Maybe we're going to a ball? To a party? I don't know. They always surprise me.

Raising my gaze on the wall, I saw the time on the wall clock. It's already seven in the evening. I continued walking until I reached the stairs. I started to get down as I heard the voices of Wim and Xander talking below.

"Yeah, I told you that Xander. You're not listening to me. You're stupid."

"You're more stupid."

I saw Wim and Xander in formal attire and Wrum standing by their side. Wrum was also in a suit. He looks so attractive tonight.

They are at the foot of the stairs. And when they felt my presence they looked at me.

"Silic is coming down and look at her," said Wim. They looked at me from head to toe and they immediately looked back at my face. They were all shocked to see me. I'm wearing it well and it suits me. Why are they like that when they stare at me?

Wrum's reaction that looks like seeing a ghost in front of him. Until I reached near at him. He doesn't seem blinking.

"Woah, Silic. Is that you?" Wim asked. What kind of question is that.

Xander gave me a thumbs up. "Gorgeous Silic. That's your thing." Xander said to me.

I smiled at what they were telling me. "Thank you."

The shocked reaction I still see in Wrum, oh God. Does this black dress doesn't fit me? Come on, it fits for me when I looked at the mirror. Why is he like that? Can't he just appreciate someone?"

"Let's go out now that Silic is here," said Wim to us. "Xander and I will get the car ready," he said to me as he looked at Wrum.

I nodded at him, followed them around, and walked towards the door. Even before they finally left, they turned to look at me again and at the same time, giving me a thumbs up. Wrum also looked at them so they immediately go out.

"So, where are we going? Ball? Party?" I asked him, signaling him to turn his gaze to me.

Damn. He looks hot tonight. Well, he looks hot every time, not just this time.

"Well, you'll know it later." as expected. That is what he will answer me.

"Maybe you can tell me where that is, right?" I said.

He didn’t answer me and I saw him stare at me. He swallowed and he still didn't lose his gaze.

I was suddenly nervous. So I avoided looking at him. It looks like I am going to melt.

"..... beautiful." He murmured to himself, but I only hear him saying 'beautiful'.

So I looked up at him again. "Hmm?"

"I didn't say anything," he said and turned away. "Let's go. We've been waiting for you for a while. '' He said.

If I am not mistaken in what I heard from him earlier. Am I the one he said was beautiful? Really?

"Why are you still standing? Don't you have any plans to come?"

We are wearing formal attire. And if I’m not mistaken, we’re going to a party or ball.
