I just smiled so as not to embarrass Sean. But the greeting between the two stopped when someone called Senator Garcia.

"Happy Birthday, Godfather!" said a man who suddenly appeared behind us. Sean and I both turned around and I was surprised to see Julius. It looked at me, observed my whole appearance. I think he liked my new look because he seemed stunned by how I looked now. It was not in my mind that I let go of Sean's arms. I was worried that he might see it and we would still be married.

Sean noticed that I seemed to distance myself from him so I was surprised when he suddenly grabbed my hand and pulled me closer to him. I saw how sad Julius's eyes were when he saw me holding hands. Even though I wanted to remove my hand, Sean held me tightly.

"Julius, it's good that you came." Julius approached the Senator and shook his hand. After a while, a woman appeared behind Julius. He suddenly grabbed Julius's arm and greeted the Senator with a smile.

Happy Birthday, Senator! here.

I was sad when I saw it holding Julius's arm. Julius noticed this but did not remove his hand. So I just went because of jealousy.Sean and I mingled with other guests, most of the guests were also fellow politicians. Holding a glass with only wine. I stared at the location of Julius and his girlfriend, Shantel Abra. It turns out that he is also the son of a senator, from a rich family and studied abroad and graduated. What is my heritage? I'm just a maid's son.

I just held my breath because of that thought. A few moments later I felt bladder pain. So I said goodbye to Sean first to take a shower. I was able to walk in heels again, even though I felt like walking upright. At least I got used to it, but not that perfect.

Entering the cubicle, I quickly emptied the bladder. I feel relieved. When I finished, I thought for a moment. I took out the face powder I had in my sling bag and applied a little on my face. I was just surprised when a voice suddenly grabbed my attention.

"So you're Julius's ex-girlfriend? Aren't you also the girl in San Rafael?"

I turned to the door and saw Shantel standing there. He came next to me and put the handbag he was carrying on top of the sink that looked like he was going to love it. A lipstick that I think was also branded was brought out there, she applied lipstick on her lips.

"Am I the one you're talking to?" I ask here.

"Is there anyone else in the area?" this is also a direct question to me. I looked around, it was me he was talking to because we were the only two people in the cr.

How did he know that I was Julius's ex? Is Julius telling a story here?

I didn't speak. I don't want to fight with Shantel either. Out of respect for the birthday person, I will refrain. I put my face powder back in my slingbag. I was about to leave when he spoke again.

Don't try to play with two rivers. Julius and I are getting married next year, so please don't ruin it! You might not like it, when I get angry so be careful. I've never wanted anything that didn't get it. And I can knock you out in a moment. it still threatens me.

I was speechless with what it said. I didn't say anything until he left me alone, I was also taken by my fear. Why am I so cowardly to always fight for my love? First I couldn't fight my love for Julius, now I can't fight my feelings anymore. I was disgusted with myself because I was too cowardly to admit it.

A few moments later, I came out of the cr. Sean was no longer in our place so I just sat on a chair. After a while someone suddenly sat next to me. When I turned around, I almost fell out of my seat. Julius, he brought two glasses, one of which only had wine. It reached me.

Drinks? here.I accepted that, with a smile. I remembered Shantel's threat to me. Why doesn't fate always bring us closer? There is always an obstacle in our love.

"Shantel might be angry, when she sees us together."

"Shantel? Didn't I tell you that we are not... are you jealous?

I was surprised by Julius's question, why should I be jealous when I have no right to be jealous because we have nothing.

"No!" I quickly refused. Julius suddenly smiled, as if he was happy that I was tense. Why am I confused and confused when I face Julius?

"I mean I have no right to be jealous because we don't have a relationship." Let me clarify here,

"Why, can only those in a relationship feel jealous? Everyone is free to feel jealous. It's better that you say what you really feel to reduce the burden."

That's when I had the courage to apologize for what I had done to him before.

"Ju-julius, I would like to tell you something."

It looked at me, so my heart felt like it was racing.

"What is that?" it stared at me seriously.

"W-what, I would like to hu—"

Aira! A voice suddenly spoke. I turned to the source of the voice then and saw Sean standing behind us. There is some distance from us. I could clearly see how it looked at Julius evilly. His eyebrows were arched so I was suddenly nervous that Sean might start a fight. I suddenly stood up from my seat.

"What are you doing to Aira?!" he asked Julius angrily.

Julius laughed at Sean, as if he was teasing him by grinning.

"Se-sean, he doesn't do anything to me. Julius and I were just talking." Let me explain here.

Sean angrily came to me and pulled me closer to him.

Know who you're up against! Maybe you don't know what I can do to you!" Sean spoke threateningly to Julius. Its eyes are still shining.

"Tsk! And you think I'm afraid of you? Don't own Aira. Maybe you forget that he is just your assistant. He is not your wife and you will never be his wife!" said Julius which surprised me even more.

There was substance in what he said, but why did he say that to Sean? Is it just because of their political fight or because of our past that he wants to connect with. Anyway, I first erased those questions from my mind. What I want is to stop the two from fighting. This is not the right place for them to scandalize. It's embarrassing for the birthday person, especially when there are so many guests.

"Come on Sean, let's go home..." I pulled Sean. At first it didn't want to be weaned but eventually it joined me. Until the car, his eyebrows were still arched and his teeth were still chattering. He even hit the roof of the car as if he had poured out his anger there.

"What, why are you so angry with Julius?"
