ALDEBY
|19.| Sky

Aldef and Beby compactly stopped stepping as soon as they reached the doorstep of their respective apartment units. Let Miko in first.

"If you need my help, call. Okay?" aldef said as he stared worriedly at Beby.

"BEBY! LOGIN!"

The cry of Miko from inside made Beby quickly enter his apartment unit. In return, the girl fused her thumb and index finger to form an 'okay' symbol towards Aldef.

Inside, Beby found Miko sitting with a serious look on the living room sofa. The expression that Miko always shows when she will interrogate someone, especially Beby.

"Sit down" Miko asked as she patted the surface of the sofa on her right.

Before sitting down, Beby who remembered his phone chose to charge first. When finished, Beby was ready to sit on the hot seat.

"Why did you get to be like Aldef?"

Beby wet his lower lips that do not since when to dry. The girl ventured back to Miko's intimidating look. "So I met him on FS."

"Kok, can?"

Beby poked his shoulders, a sign that he did not know for sure about the reason why Aldef was in the FS studio this afternoon. "Aldef, right, nearby friend Fahri. There needs to be the same Fahri, maybe? I don't know for sure either."

"Keep, about that viral video?"

A heavy sigh escaped from Beby's respiratory tract. If this is the case, he must tell the chronology in a row. Can misunderstand the Beby story half-and-half.

"Can't her face be serious?" beby Protest.

One sec.

Two seconds.

Three seconds.

Miko. Making Beby then frowned in wonder. "So you were scared?" Miko still laughed satisfied. "okay-okay. I am ordinary, this. The story."

"Haishis. Jinjja!" (Damn!) pissed Beby.

Before beginning the story, Beby cleared his throat. Wetting his throat ready to work with his mouth and brain to voice the story behind the viral video.

"So, it was lunch time. I say goodbye to everyone going to the toilet. Mbak Anggi said, the nearest toilet is near the pool. Yeah, I'm going there. But, right out of the toilet, I met Fara."

"Fara?" sela Miko's. "Fara your best friend in High School?"

Beby nodded. "It turns out, Fara's her twin brother Fahri. And the project I had with Aldef back then, should have had him."

"Certainly? You drowned because of Fara?"

Once again, Beby let out a heavy sigh. His head nodded briefly. Making Miko then close her eyes to neutralize the emotional turmoil that suddenly rose.

"At first, I was the same Fara had a debate," continued Beby. "Gue also had no intention to respond to him. But he seems to be my revenge. The proof, he still remembers my weakness."

"Okay, now let me simpulin." Miko who was originally leaning, now straightens the body. His bead eyes stared straight at Beby's brown eyes. "Lo drowned because of Fara, and Aldef nolongin lo with CPR."

Beby nodded, confirming Miko's conclusion.

"But why Aldef?" ask Miko again. "Aren't there a lot of female crew? Anggi?"

"Gue doesn't know either" replied Beby. "But try lo shadowin, deh, brother. If Aldef hadn't been quick to help me at that time, I might have been much worse."

Miko mangosteen, understand the purpose of her sister's speech. "Lo's right." Pause for a moment. "Keep, about lo who suddenly the tiger yesterday? Why?"

Again and again, Beby let out a heavy sigh. Of all the bad things that happened to him, according to Beby, this is the worst. "Because I met Zidan."

"ZIDAN?!" This time, Miko's reaction was out of bounds. The man had to stand up because he was so shocked. "Isn't it .. isn't he in prison?"

***

After draining her energy and thoughts from the conversation with Miko, Beby rushed into the room and cleaned up. After bathing and changing his clothes with pajamas motif lorek-lorek blue-white, then Beby can relax.

With a towel coiled around her back neck to keep water from dripping from her hair, Beby lit a flat object over the nightstand.

There were so many incoming messages and missed calls. The winner of the nomination is Anggi. Beby took the initiative to call Anggi right then and there.

"Astaganagaaaa!!! You really-no, yeah! I couldn't call from earlier! Where are you going, anyway?! A dead queen?!"

Beby kept the phone screen away from the earlobe, intending to limit Anggi's sound which could damage his sense of hearing. "Hehehe. Yes, sorry, Ma'am. My HP was lowbatt. It's new at home and I charge. What's up?"

"Lo's endorsement stuff for rations today and tomorrow is in my boutique. You have a lecture schedule, right, tomorrow?"

"Yes. Nine o'clock in the morning."

"good. Before you go to college, stop by my boutique. Kan, unidirectional, tuh."

"Which courier you used to take to my apartment where to go, Ma'am?"

"Lo forgot? My courier used to start circulating it by noon. While you have to start up the endors that should be uploaded today."

Beby's forehead wrinkled in wonder. "I feel like I've been uploaded on Instagram stories for endorsers today."

"That's just food endors. I know you're stressed again, make things that can be delayed, I put it here first."

Endorsment items are usually sent to the boutique owned by Anggi. Then, there was a courier there who would drive to Beby's apartment when the girl was already home. But since Anggi had not managed to contact the girl all day, Anggi decided to hold the endorsement item there.

"Pantes endors today feeling very tight," murmured Beby. "Yes, deh. Okay, Ma'am. Tomorrow morning I'm going to the store to get stuff, yeah."

"Goodle. Don't forget! I'm going to yank you!"

Beby. "It's a hell, Ma'am Manager."

"Bodo very!"

Beby chuckled while shaking his head, amazed by the behavior of his manager who often bars it. It is fitting that Anggi faithfully rejected the status of the single despite having a brilliant career.

Switching from Anggi, Beby opened the incoming message from Aldef.

Aldefra Mahardika:

If you're done talking to Miko, call me, yes.

Both corners of Beby's lips swooped upwards. Form a smile with a million meanings. The girl then presses the phone symbol that will connect her to Aldef.

On the first dial, Beby's call was answered. It was as if Aldef had been waiting for him since.

"Hi, By," said Aldef who made Beby's smile wider.

"Hi, Al."

"Where? You're clear all the same, Miko?"

"Udah."

"Certainly? How's response? He's angry, isn't he, same me?"

"Initially, yes. But I'm clear, really. Lo's intention, right, good."

Aldef laughed crisply across the street. "Well, good, if that's it."

"Al."

"Hm?"

"Thank you, yeah."

"For?"

"To be the one who helped me. And always there when I need to."

"Anytime, Sky."

"Sky?"

"Can I call you by that name?"

Beby thought for a moment. "Yes .. can, anyway. But, why 'Sky'?"

"Keep what? You want to be called Amanda?"

The deg!

Beby's heart seemed to stop beating when he heard the name enter his eardrum. "No-no."

"Yes already. Let's be different, I call you 'Sky', how?"

"Okay!" beby shouted while smiling widely.

The next day, at exactly 10:00, Celine confronted Fara at the cafe located directly opposite the FS studio.

"So, what's your decision?" ask Fara, to the point.

"Gue accept your offer," Celine replied confidently.

Fara smiled with satisfaction. "Good."

"As you said yesterday, I can ask for whatever salary I want, right?"

"Of course! Call it that."

"Thirty million. Per week"

"Uhuk! Uhuk!" Cappucino who was drinking Fara, successfully made him choke. "Lo crazy, huh?!"

One eyebrow Celine raised. "Say, 'whatever'."

"Yes. But not that too! Thirty million, that's one hundred and twenty million every month. Morotin I'm his name! Model salaries in FS are not half that!"

"If you don't want to, yes."

Fara breathed a heavy sigh. "Thirty million per month."

"Fifty million per month. For this month's salary, transfer now." Celine held out a hand. "Deal?"

It is like being given a heart, asking for a heart. That sentence was what described the figure of Celine in Fara's eyes at the moment. But, Celine was the only way for Fara to make it easier for Beby to suffer.

"Deal!" Fara returned Celine's hand.

This deal, made Celine smile with satisfaction. The girl sipped her coffee latte before asking, "So, what should I do?"
