ALDEBY
|83.| Jealousy

"You guys, how can you be together?" fahri asked when he saw Daren and Beby coming together.

"So out of college, guys," replied Beby.

"So, are we starting a meeting now?" sahut Daren's.

"Daren coming too?"

"In the editing room. Yuk!"

Fahri precedes Daren and Beby. As soon as they entered the editing room, they found Celine sitting on one of the chairs.

"Hey. You're finally here."

"What's going on here?" ask Daren.

Celine's eye beads point at Fahri. "Ask Fahri."

"Celine will help me during this project."

"What is this project, Ri?" ask Beby.

Fahri turned on the projector there. Seeing that, Daren and Beby took up positions.

"So, this is a project that we will work on in the next three days. First, we will hunt for photos around Jakarta. In this building."

In the picture, there appears an abandoned building that has a 3rd floor. That location, quite familiar to Beby.

"Second day?" ask Daren.

"Well, for the second and third day which means Saturday-Sunday, we're going to the mountain."

"Mount?" sahut Baby's.

"Yes. To be exact, Mount Bromo."

"That must be exhausting" Beby complained.

"Silent. The model here is not just lo same Daren. But, me and Celine."

Beby increasingly do not understand where the plan to hunt photos that Fahri will do. "okay-okay. But, what is the purpose of hunting this photo for?"

"The photography competition."

"Again?"

Fahri. "The question is about the wild."

"Why did you choose the mountain? Not the beach or what, is that it?"

"The holidays."

Daren chuckles. Beby looked at him. "Why, anyway, By? Anyway, you, right, often sports. It's not easy to get tired."

Beby snorted loudly. "The model is four of us. So, how many crew members are there?"

"From the data I had, plus MUA and stylish, a total of ten personnel. Fourteen including us."

"What makes you a photographer?"

"Grand."

The four pairs of eyes in the room then turned to the source of the sound.

"Aldef?"

The time has shown at 22:23 when Beby is ready to plunge into the dream realm. However, the phone above the nightstand suddenly rang, undoing Beby's intentions.

"Kira?"

Seeing the name displayed on the phone screen, Beby did not hesitate to press the answer button.

"Yeoboseyo—"

"Lo's so mean, anyway, By! You rarely come to me now! Overall, ah!"

"Casual first why, anyway, Ran? What was? You talk about what?"

"Lo break with Aldef, right?!"

Beby's forehead frowned in wonder. "Lo know where it's coming from?"

"Lola."

"Gue hasn't told Lola."

"Yes, how do I know. Anyway, I'm kelp same lo!"

Uh! Lola must have known that from Miko. Beby laughed in his heart. So, Miko really went to Lomare Cafe just now?

"Certainly? What do you want me to do?"

"Can't be tomorrow, huh, Ran? It's malem."

"Bodo very! I want it now!"

Finally, that night—with very forced—Beby skinned his own wounds in his heart.

***

The first day of hunting is agreed to start at 11:00. This time was taken based on the schedule of Beby and Daren as the main models.

"Is everything ready?" fahri asked the crew on duty that day.

After making sure everything is ready, the shooting session begins. Daren in a plain gray shirt with open front buttons, inside is a plain white shirt. While Beby, he wears a matching colored dress with a one meter long tail. On the head of Beby mounted a white beach hat that displays a graceful impression.

Throughout the photo shoot, Beby's gaze was often distracted by Aldef's presence. The problem was not there, but the blind man who seemed reluctant to take his eyes off her.

The more we get here, Beby and Daren seem to be getting more friendly. The chemistry of both is so prominent on camera. Thirty minutes for the first costume. Fahri gave a pause for the models to change clothes for 20 minutes.

Aldef who had been watching could only remain silent. The man's gaze pointed at Fahri and Celine.

"Eh." Fahri was surprised when suddenly someone rubbed the sweat on his forehead.

"Your sweat bothers me so much, daritadi" said Celine.

Fahri's palm scrambled the top of Celine's head. "Thank's, yeah."

Then, Aldef's sense of vision shifted to the new Beby and Daren coming out of the dressing room. Beby's figure with a sky blue dress knee-length short sleeves, long hair extended, and star-shaped flops that lock his bangs.

"Wahhh .. lo is so beautiful, By," praised Daren with a clear-cut look of admiration.

"Lo's cool too." Beby returned Daren's praise with a sweet smile.

"Crazy, anyway, By. If you were my girlfriend, I wouldn't be able to look at other girls."

Beby laughing. "It can be lo."

Seeing that unusual interaction, Aldef's two hands involuntarily clenched firmly. His jaw was tightly clenched. However, the man was still unaware of any jealous signals to him.

The reshoot session continues. Increasingly, Daren and Beby did not hesitate to pose a friendly scene. In fact, there was one pose where Daren and Beby's noses stuck together. That made Aldef stand up from his chair.

Whahuh? Do you want nyamperin Beby? You want to get angry? Are you ready, Beby?

You think, how is the image of you in Beby's eyes if you nyamperin he continues to be angry?

Beby will forgive you? No! There he is, he is getting more ilfeel!

The voices restrained Aldef's movement on the spot. Both of his hands clenched tightly, revealing his whitened fingernails. It felt, Aldef wanted to separate Daren and Beby up ahead. Anyway, Beby's still Aldef's girlfriend. But, the man did not want his image to get worse in Beby's eyes.

The break time arrived. All personnel are given 1 hour and 30 minutes for Dzuhur prayer and lunch. Aldef who saw the figure of Daren stepped towards him, blatantly throwing a sharp glare.

"Shalat first, yuk, Al," Daren asked. "Bareng-bareng the same as the others."

Aldef. His faithful eye beads stared intently at Daren's eyeball. The man's jaw also looked hard.

"Lo why, anyway?" daren asked with a frowning forehead. "I'm like a guy with his face. Or, angry? I was wrong, right?"

"Daren!"

That soft sound made Daren's and Aldef's sense of sight compactly switch. Seemed the figure of Beby who was waving his hands and smiling broadly towards Daren. Daren did the same.

"Not praying?" ask Beby.

"Yes. Just a little more."

"Gue first, yeah."

"Yoy!"

After the departure of Beby, Aldef then moved from his position. It could be, the man would really hit Daren if it continues to be near the man.

Of all that happened, the thing that made Aldef upset was the way Beby behaved to him. The girl smiled and waved at Daren. However, staring at Aldef alone was not. Beby is Aldef's girlfriend!

Daren, who sees Aldef missing from his place, runs to catch up with the man.

"Lo's jealous, huh?" asked Daren when he managed to match Aldef's steps. "Look, that was just professionalism, really. But, it's different if you break up with Beby."

Aldef stopped stepping. The man turned his head towards Daren with a hunting breath. His gaze was like a sharp little dagger that pierced Daren's sense of sight.

"Beby will not want to be the same lo," ketus Aldef who makes Daren immediately inflamed.
