Asa In Star Altair
Part 88 ~ Asa & Altair
I don't feel like time passes so quickly. Today was the day Altair had been waiting for. The day on which he would concert at once withdrew from the entertainment world.
Since then the man has been running on stage singing a song that he created specifically for his girlfriend.
Greeting the fans who kept shouting his name simultaneously. At times Altair's gaze was fixed on an empty chair. The chair that Asa was supposed to sit on and shout her name repeatedly.
However, what power. It's all just Altair.
The man set his breath which had been hunting. Sweat splashed on his body because it ruled the stage for approximately 2 hours.
He stood in the middle of the stage, staring at the loyal fans supporting him in any situation.
"Evening everyone, how are you guys doing?" altair asked the fan who was under the stage.
"Good!" shout them in unison.
"Happy hearing. Y'all know? Altair loves you all!"
Cheers instantly echoed in the spacious room. The fans of the Altair baper heard his idol shouting love.
"Tonight, I want to design something for you. Something that might make you sad. Earlier, sorry!"
The atmosphere that had been boisterous was suddenly silent. They seemed ready to hear what they should not be with from the rumors that circulated 2 months ago.
"Tonight's concert is my last concert as the Altair you know. After this I decided to get out of the entertainment world. Thank you for supporting me so far. Thank you for giving me so much love. You guys are great, I'm proud to have you in my life."
The voice that had been filled with laughter and cries of the name Altair, now turned into a sob. No fans are willing if their idol hiatus like this, especially when his name is soaring.
"I'm sure after this, there will be something better than me. Don't cry, we just split up as idols and fans. If you meet on the street, never forget the me you once had in your hearts." Altair took a deep breath, then exhaled slowly.
"Thank you!"
After delivering what he wanted, Altair left the stage. Leaving pain in the hearts of their fans who did not expect the rumors they heard to be real.

After the concert, Altair was no longer out of the room. Now the man has no more activity than studying and going to school. The responsibility that originally burdened him was gone.
If I could be honest, Altair would have left what had been her dream. However, due to the Agency's overly torturous demands, Altair opted to step down.
Why survive if tortured? Made a money-making machine without being able to rest in peace. The more the name of an Idol rises, the heavier the burden is carried. The agency is increasingly looking for profits over his idol.
"Altair?"
"Hm," muttered Altair without turning his head, making Jijadi who had just opened the door of the room walk over.
"Now we don't have a contract to work with anymore, but that doesn't mean we're not friends, right?" ask Jihadi.
Although Altair was often arbitrary to him, Jihadi never hated the man. Behind Altair's arrogant demeanor, there was still a gentleness left. At least Altair cares about each other.
"Hand-self too?" ask Altair.
"As you know."
"meaning?" Jihadi's forehead shriveled.
"AR Entertainment, if you want. You can work there according to your ability."
"Seriously?" Jihadi's eyes are a little bully. Come on, who wouldn't want to spell at AR Entertainment? A large agency that humanizes its employees.
Not to mention the salary that goes with hard work.
"Hm, AR Entertainment has my cousin. Send me a cover letter, I'll call you bang Arga."
"Love Altair. Uh but wait ...." Jihadi stroked his chin, thinking of the thing that suddenly appeared in his head. "I just found out that AR Entertainment has a cousin of yours. Why not work there? All the artists are well."
"Ck, you know I don't want to stand in my family's company. I want to succeed because of my own results without the intervention of Adhitama!"

If Altair and Jihadi are talking about work, it is different from Fely who is in school.
The girl clenched her hands while closing her eyes. Approaching Mark who is smoking in the school rooftop.
"Mark!" call Fely.
Mark immediately flipped his body, threw away the cigarette butts and then stepped on them.
"Hapa lo? How's nahan boker's face?" ask her with a soft tone.
"Gue likes you!" fely said, withstanding shame. The girl suddenly said her guess for fear Mark was taken away by others.
Especially these few days Mark is close to his upperclassman.
"Not funny!" Mark laughs. Fely approached him who was trying to control his heartbeat.
The man cupped Fely's jaw shutting his eyes. "Open your eyes!"
With only 10% of her remaining courage remaining, Fely opened her eyes, so that the gazes of the two were locked onto each other.
"What was that about?" mark asked with raised eyebrows.
"I like you!" Breaking glances.
"Since when?"
"Since you moved to this school. I've always been concerned about liking you, but stopped knowing you like Asa."
"Fely?"
"I don't need your answers, let alone rejection. I just want you to know that I like you. About you liking other people I don't care."
Fely flipped his body, running to get away from Mark. But, how surprised the girl was when her body was approached from behind by Mark.
"Gue doesn't like you, I have no other sense of friendship. But we can try. Do you remember Asa's words? Why look far away, if those near us are so much better?" mark whispered right in Fely's ear.
