"Honey!"
Hazre's voice was heard from afar calling Rosalina. They both immediately turned their eyes to the other direction.
"Why are you standing here?"
Hazre said immediately hugging Rosalina's slim waist. He gave Rosalina a sweet smile. Meanwhile, Azmar started looking at the two of them. His eyes focused on Hazre's hand which was hugging Rosalina's waist.
"Hey, I didn't think you were here either.."
Hazre said while looking at Azmar's suspicious reaction. Hazre acted as if nothing had happened. Azmar just smiled blandly seeing Hazre who had just noticed his presence.
"Oh yes... Forgot to introduce you. Dear, this is the chairman of the Office Star company where I work. Sir Azmar, is that correct?"
Hazre deliberately acted in front of Azmar. After being introduced, Rosalina just put on a mask and acted as if she didn't know him. A smile etched full of mystery on her lips.
"Your wife looks beautiful. She..reminds me of someone."
Azmar started to speak. Hazre and Rosalina just looked at each other. Smiles engraved full of falsehood.
"Hey, what are you doing? Do you think my wife is Mrs. Veronica?"
Hazre's joke was given full meaning. Azmar just chuckled. At the same time, Veronica was preparing to speak to the attendees at the birthday party. From afar, she saw Azmar looking face-to-face with Hazre and Rosalina. She became interested in getting closer.
"What are you doing here?"
Azmar quickly looked at Veronica who came and held her hand tenderly. Rosalina who looked at her felt disgusted. The look in her eyes turned to hatred.
"Oh..ahm, let me introduce you to Ikmal and his wife, Alina."
"Yes, I remember clearly about you Mr. Ikmal.."
Hazre just smiled blandly. Veronica remembered their meeting at a cafe earlier in the day. She knew Hazre very well but after her gaze shifted towards Rosalina, the smile faded suddenly. They both stared at each other.
'What is she doing here? Is she...Ikmal's wife?'
Veronica's heart hissed as she recalled that she had been insulted in terms of her clothing fashion. Rosalina on the other hand made a fake smile but her heart was burning with hatred.
'We.. see you again it seems. I believe. You are only being used by Azmar in silence.'
It's the same from Rosalina's heart. Without Azmar and Hazre knowing, they just look at their reactions.
"It's been a long time since we've all gathered here. I want to make a request. Can you not allow my wife to work with your wife? She is very talented in the world of fashion.."
He began to arrange his steps. Listening to the request, Veronica hated her even more.
"Yes? You..you can't let her work with you?"
Azmar said asking. Rosalina managed to raise one eyebrow towards her. She disgusted Veronica.
"Of course, she can. If ​​she thinks she can do it.."
She said it was not sincere. Hazre and Azmar smiled happily to hear it. Even though they didn't know what would happen between them.
"Ah...I want to get ready now. You two invite me to sit and enjoy the food here."
"Good. Happy birthday, my friend.."
Hazre said he had time to speak. But his heart said otherwise. Azmar just smiled at the greeting before leaving the two of them. The same with Veronica who was still holding Azmar's hand. But her eyes gave a glance towards Rosalina.
"Friends but enemies.."
Hazre said in a half-whisper. Rosalina just smiled cynically at Azmar's pairing with Veronica.
"Are you sure..there's a surprise here?"
"Yes. Just finished his memory video, and everything will change in the blink of an eye. We'll see what his reaction is after this.."
They both smiled slyly at each other as they walked towards the dining table reserved for the two of them. Hazre's arms were hugged tightly by Rosalina. They acted like a married couple.

Not long after, all the lights in the hall were turned off. The video was displayed on the screen immediately on time. They showed a video of Azmar's victory and difficulties in achieving the success of the Office Star Company. They said it was Azmar's effort to wake up on his own. Although everything is just a public play. Rosalina and Hazre's hearts warmed after seeing the display of the video.
Azmar and Veronica smiled happily when they saw that the video was well-designed. The video was watched by many attendees who came to the party. Everyone was silent because they were focused on Azmar's video display.
It takes 15 minutes for the video to finish, and the party lights up again. The video is immediately stopped. Everyone stands up and claps for Azmar. Except for Hazre and Rosalina. That's not what they want to see.
Azmar immediately stood up to face the audience who gave him applause. A smile engraved with victory and pride.
Hazre immediately looked at his expensive watch. There were 30 seconds left for the surprise to take place. He immediately looked at Rosalina.
"Are you ready?"
Hazre said in a half-whisper. Rosalina just nodded her head. Without delay, Hazre pressed the small earphones attached to his ears.
"When he opens his mouth, you are ready there.."
"Yes sir.."
Suhaimi was also at the party. But he disguised himself as a journalist by wearing normal clothes. The mission started after Azmar spoke. The three of them waited for Azmar to open his mouth.
"You share the speech.."
Veronica said next to him. Azmar started talking with a smile.
"Thank you.."
Suddenly the area around the stage caught fire by itself. Azmar stopped to speak to the crowd. They both immediately looked towards the stage. The fire was burning around the stage. Azmar and Veronica were very surprised by the incident.
But how surprised they were that two statues were hanging on the stage. They were bleeding terribly. Both of them rolled their eyes at the statues. But when they looked at them from afar, the clothes the statues were wearing were Rosalina and Hazre's clothes in the fire. They both got scared.
"Ahhh!!!"
Veronica's dream came true. She screamed after seeing the two statues still hanging on the stage. Both of them were stiff. But Hazre and Rosalina immediately stood up smiling. That's what they wanted to see. The fear of karma for both of them will arrive as promised.
Without delay, all the guards immediately moved to put out the fire. Azmar with a brave step went up to the stage and raised his head to look at the two statues hanging on the stage. Suddenly, the two statues fell and almost hit him. He managed to avoid it. His eyes trembled saw the body of the statue stained with blood.
But what's unique is that he saw a piece of paper attached to the body of the statue. He immediately took it and read it.
"I WILL COME BACK..."
Azmar quickly crumpled the paper in his hand. He felt that something was trying to scare him. He turned to look at the crowd. Journalists also worked because of the incident. Here and there the frightened faces of the crowd were visible.
His heart is as hot as the raging fire. He is determined to find the mastermind behind this game. While the three who designed the game are smiling in victory. That's what they want to see. Enjoy this game until you fall.

Azmar and Sharul continued to discuss in the office room. Meanwhile, Veronica immediately returned from the party because she was surprised. Now it was just the two of them in the room.
"Who..who ruined my party ahh?!"
Azmar was so angry that he dropped all the items on his desk. Sharul just stood there scared.
"I'm sorry, sir. I will investigate who did all that.."
Eyes lowered. Unable to see Azmar's anger. But when Sharul spoke, Azmar immediately looked at him. He immediately took the expensive glass vase placed on the table. Then walked towards Sharul.
"Do you know..how much I lost?"
Sharul trembled at Azmar's actions as if he wanted to hit him.
"My birthday party was ruined due to..that incident. Like..how do you work ahh?!"
The hand holding the glass vase was immediately swung at Sharul's head. The glass vase was broken by him. Sharul's head was bleeding from the blow until he fell to the floor.
"I...I'm sorry sir.."
Hearing Sharul begging for forgiveness, he once again took something to destroy. He took another glass vase and threw it at Sharul's head. His heart felt angry.
"I'm embarrassed by that nonsense, don't you understand?! You disgust me!!!"
His legs also moved to kick Sharul's body. Sharul was powerless against him again. He allowed himself to be beaten badly.
"It's good that you do your job properly. Otherwise, I will kill you!"
Said Azmar stepping on Sharul's face with his leather-shoed foot. He bruised Sharul's face. The blood did not stop flowing from his head.
"Find out who did all that. You're trying to challenge me! Wait for your fate because you're playing with me from behind!"
He said turning towards the window. Sharul stood up again after Azmar let go of his legs. Azmar's face was wrinkled and angry. He was determined to kill whoever was the mastermind who ruined his beautiful day.

"It was fun to see him scared.."
Hazre said in the car. Beside him, there was Rosalina also in the car. They were satisfied.
"He thinks..he can be happy after killing us. I don't think he should be at peace with that dark world.."
Said Rosalina also excited. The smile was completely engraved happy to see their game for Azmar and Veronica. It's amazing.
"We can't celebrate anymore. I promise, his smile will change to nervousness every time he is happy with his victory."
Hazre's promise was planted in their hearts. Rosalina also felt the same. It was a long night, and they both returned home with happy hearts. They may invite Suhaimi once to get it.
