A Piece of Asa In A Taste
The Scandal of the Stars

The flickering lights of the city shimmered beautifully, as beautiful as the smile of the woman sitting next to Ghani.

Ghani and Bylla were in a taxi, which took them to the Permata Hotel. The hotel that Bylla was staying at, before flying to Europe. Bylla deliberately chose the Permata Hotel, because the distance is not too far from where Ghani lives.

Ghani smiled faintly as she stared at the bracelet that was still curled sweetly in Bylla's hand. It was like a dream, getting a woman who was once only capable of her longing. He remembered the beginning of their meeting. From the first glance, Bylla's face had always danced beautifully in the flavor space.

"Ghani!" call Bylla.

Ghani gasped, his daydreams caving in instantly.

"Yes," he replied, looking over and looking at Bylla.

"I have something for you, but I don't give it to you right now" said Bylla, commenting on a sweet smile.

Ghani frowned, "okay?"

"Yes, because it's so special, I made it myself. I'll give it to you later after you justify me" replied Bylla.

"You made it yourself, hmmm I'm curious. What's that look like?" ask Ghani.

"Books."

"Book?" Ghani repeated Bylla's words while frowning in wonder.

"Yes. Ehh but your mind is not going anywhere, this is not a strange book. It's just__"

"Bylla, I never rated you that bad" Ghani said quickly.

"You're shocked, I think it's weird" Bylla said.

"I was shocked, because I didn't think you wanted to give me a book. You said it was your creation, since when did you make the book?" ask Ghani.

Bylla smiled broadly, "since knowing you."

"I'm serious Bylla."

"I'm serious too Ghan."

Ghani let out a long sigh, "if you may know, what is the book about?"

"About taste." Ghani replied quickly.

"Well!"

"Why shocked, it is about the feeling. You don't know if I'm a love expert" Bylla said, staring at Ghani.

"Who's feeling, what kind of diary, or poem is that?" ask Ghani.

"Not."

"Want to?"

"Ahh, don't ask too many questions. That's a secret, Ghan, later if you're married. I'll give you the book, please read it, and I'm sure you'll like it" Bylla said confidently.

"I'm more curious, Bylla. It's about what the hell, love the snippet dong, just a little!" Ghani.

"No, if you're married. I don't give you a dot, I can't ask you any more questions" Bylla said.

"I want to go into a coma" said Ghani.

"Point."

"Coma."

"Tock Ghani."

The small debate that succeeded made the two laugh. With love, anything simple is more beautiful. Moreover, love that embraces at the end of longing. No need to kiss or sleep together. With a conversation, romance can be created.

But unfortunately, the friendly joke must stop at that time. The taxi carrying them had arrived at the hotel courtyard. Ghani got out of the car and opened the door for her lover.

"So sweet" teased Bylla as she stepped down.

"Had an angel lover, if not sweet then he flew again to the sky," replied Ghani as she dragged the suitcase belonging to Bylla. Both of them walked into the hotel. Not to forget Ghani wears a jacket and also a black hat.

"Why do you think of death?" ask Ghani while still stepping.

"You said you were flying into the sky" said Bylla.

"What does this have to do with death? Gini yes, that person if he dies buried in the land of Bylla, not thrown into the high sky" Ghani explained with a laugh.

"Not funny" said Bylla.

"But pretty."

"It's not funny, Ghan" said Bylla, hitting Ghani's arm. Nevertheless, his cheeks began to blush.

Shortly after, the two arrived at Bylla's doorstep. Ghani put her suitcase there, and then left. The two looked at each other before they separated. Hopefully tomorrow, there will be time to continue the story.

***

The sun had just crawled up from the eastern horizon. Orange rays that gush beautifully still feel warm when hit.

The distinctive morning atmosphere with a wet aroma did not stop Tommy's intention to visit Boundary. There was little he wanted to talk about with any of their personnel.

"For Sat!" greet Tommy while approaching Satya in the kitchen room.

"For Om, the tumben has arrived here" Satya replied as he stirred the black coffee he had just brewed.

"Where is Ghani?" ask Tommy.

"There's above. Why___"

"All right, I'm going upstairs" Tommy cut as he walked away.

Satya looked at him while frowning. Although he did not open his voice, but curiosity burst into his mind. What the hell's going on?

On the second floor, Ghani was sitting sweetly on the sofa. Staring at the white sheet of paper that lay on the table. Some characters he has assembled there, as well as lyrics complete with arrangement.

His fingers were still clamping down on a pen, but were at a loss as to what he would write. The finished lyrics have not satisfied Ghani. But he doesn't know which part to fix.

While he was still late in his own writing, suddenly the door of the room was knocked from the outside. Ghani tells him to come in, and is a little surprised to find out who is coming.

"Mmm what's up, Om?" ghani asked, looking at Tommy.

There's no way Tommy came just to see it. I hope it's not about Alina.

"What did you do last night, Ghani?" Tommy asked back.

"Every night?"

Tommy put his phone on the table, "look at that, so you can remember!"

Ghani grabs Tommy's cell phone, and he is flabbergasted to stare at the warm news.

SCANDAL OF THE STAR

A line of titles written with capital. Ghani's heart beat quickly, then he read the contents of the news.

Ghani Alghibrani, Boundary vocalist whose name is increasingly soaring. Successfully steal the hearts of netizens because of his romance with Evelyna Patricia. But without public knowledge, Ghani was involved in a scandal with Indo women. They even slept together in a hotel.

Then Ghani stared at some of the photos uploaded there. While he and Bylla were at the airport, also when entering the hotel.

Not to forget Ghani also peeked at some of the comments, most of them blaspheming Bylla as an actor. Some called themselves fools, leaving Evelyna for simple women.

"Who is he?" tommy asked while looking at Ghani.

Ghani let out a long sigh, "he's my lover Om. He and I were in a relationship before I joined Boundaries. This is why I object to having a show with Evelyn."

"If you do not speak, your name will not be known. Netizens will definitely reject you, and you won't be able to change Livay's position!" tommy said firmly.

"Why are you so reckless, meeting at the airport, at the hotel. It's Ghani's public place, and you don't wear a mask. You deliberately challenged the public? I don't want to know yes, you have to clarify this matter. I don't want Boundaries' good name to be tarnished just because of your scandal!" connect Tommy while folding his hands to his chest.

Seriate...
