Pop music from the car radio was heard filling the cabin of the car Rangga and Niko were riding. Rangga on the left side dissolved in his deep mind while Niko was on the right side, adjusting the speed of the vehicle while listening to Rangga's song that began to play on many radio channels.
He memorized the lyrics of this trending song. Like a dream come true when their songs used to be rejected for playback now even every change of broadcast radio there must be a request to be played Rangga's songs.
One mini album is selling well in the market. One of the most famous is being listened to by both. The song is slow tempo with the voice of Rangga who is character and vibrating because of his words that condition meaning.
“I who had forgotten, on the sad face that I now miss
Makes me feel lost and no longer want to love, even though a million women tease in plain sight
It was my fault for letting you go, my fault for leaving you
Though my heart is clear, sure to hold on
How foolish I was, taking off the lantern and chasing the soot
Until I realized all were just pseudo-shadows, and made it impossible for us to unite.”
“So this is lo's flagship song?” Ask Niko when the line of refs is finished in Rangga. It was clear that Rangga was very passionate about his song.
“Hem,..” Rangga remained with his empty gaze fixed out the window.
I don't know what he saw. It may be traffic lights, food vendors on the streets or it may be vehicles racing at each other speed on the streets.
“From six songs, these two songs are like Bella's story. You accidentally entered your story to this album?” Niko was still curious. He knows well the character of the song that Rangga created is always sincere from the heart.
“The two songs that I feel hurt the most. The most disturbing feeling of my loss. But, the other four songs are songs with Bella as a source of inspiration.
"He who makes me grin, he who makes me fall in love. And I just realized, if the same time he is the time that makes me the most happy and peaceful.”
“The more this song starts to boom and the more people like it, I am more aware that I am the most stupid person in the world.”
Rangga smiled slightly, but his heart grimaced. His chest feels tight when he should be very happy at this time because he managed to achieve his dream without the shadow of Bella. Without any interference Bella set it up this and that.
But this time also became the most empty and servant time for Rangga.
“Bella is happy Ga, you should start organizing your new life.” Said Niko who looked at Rangga with worry.
Rangga does not chimed. He prefers to lean his body weakly into the seat. And then closed his eyes. Hoping that when he woke up, all this sadness was just his nightmare.
Around 8 pm Rangga arrived at the place where he and Niko used to perform. The atmosphere was already very crowded by the fans waiting for them.
“Waahhh no sister Rangga... Aaaackk... Bull bangeettt!!” Anxious female audience who misbehaved when seeing the arrival of Rangga and Niko.
“Ask yukkk photos, who knows want..” Invite his friend, who both idolize Rangga.
“Lo who talked, but.” The girl pushed her friend up to hit Niko.
“Wo wo.. Slow dong's... Why nih?” Niko immediately turned around and helped the girl stand up straight.
“You asked for the same photo Rangga. Can I?” ask her timidly.
“By lah.” Niko was always the friendliest.
“Wah, thanks sister Niko. Nih lo the fotoin.” Say the girl to her friend.
“No! I also want to be in photo.” Clearly he refused.
“Sini, I photoin.” A woman said, seizing the phone from the girl.
Compact they turned to look at the beautiful figure who was preparing to photograph them.
“Why? You guys want to be in the photos, right? It's a quarry there!” Said the woman who was none other than Jihan. He pushed the girl violently. He really doesn't like to wait.
But Jihan doesn't care. After taking some photos he returned the phone to the owner.
“I need to talk to you.” Said Jihan while shaking her hands at the two girls to keep them away from Rangga.
“Rangga to gig.” Niko immediately got in the way. He knew how bad the woman in front of them was.
“I have no business with you. Move!!” Jihan looked at Niko sharply. He really does not like rejection.
Seeing her best friend arguing with Jihan, Rangga felt that he could not let her.
“Lo ready first my guitar. I'll follow.” Rangga tries to break up, pulling Niko's hand so as not to block Jihan. For him, there was no reason for him to reject this woman of such a stern character.
Niko squealed as it passed from the sight of Jihan. “Be careful, the ones you face, snake.” Niko's whisper reminded.
Jihan only smiled cynically as Niko passed from before her with a feeling of annoyance.
*****
“How does it feel now? Fun not being able to have it all?” Jihan asked with a slanted smile on her red lips.
Currently they are in a cafe that is not far from where Rangga gig. The attention of cafe visitors who all fall into the appearance of Niko, making this place suddenly quiet. They both seemed free to talk about anything.
“Eh but wait, not everything you have, right? There is still something out of your hands.”
Jihan continued her sentence with a wry look at Rangga. He even smiled, satisfied that he managed to demean Rangga.
“What do you mean exactly? What do you want to talk about? I don't have much time.”
Rangga was lazy to talk to this woman. The figure of a hardened woman who could easily destroy anyone she considered a barrier.
“Emm... Are you sure you don't know what I want?” Jihan is indeed a woman who likes to convolve and test her patience. Just look at his full smile.
“No. And I am also not interested to know.” Sahut Rangga immediately.
“Oh yes?” Jihan looked at Rangga full of probing.
“What if we bet? I can give you something very valuable and to get that, you have to help me.” The bargain without hesitation.
“What is so valuable to me?” Rangga looked at Jihan in annoyance. This woman started to corner him.
Jihan smiled slightly and turned on her phone. The mobile page he showed Rangga.
“Dia,.” Say it with a small smile.
For a while Rangga seemed to frown, not yet fully understood with the intention of Jihan.
“If you help me, you can get Bella. But if you don't help me, I can destroy Bella. So simple right?” Jihan sniffed nonchalantly while crossing her arms in front of her chest. His gaze was so intimidating to Rangga.
He knew exactly that Rangga was still very much expecting Bella. More than that, he is sure that Rangga will not be silent when using Bella as a threat.
“Where? Agree?” Jihan extended her hand to Rangga.
Rangga looked at the smooth white hand with pink cuttings and glitters decorating it. He didn't shake Jihan's hand. He may have agreed with evil.
“I assume you agree. Please wait for my next news.” Tandas Jihan while moving from her place.
For him it does not matter what answer Rangga because the man will definitely follow all his requests.
