Captured by the Past
CHAPTER 52: Manda out, sponsor out.

"You're said to be one of the mainstay models of your agency, so the agency will not be that easy to take you off too many times," said Ajun as if he really knew everything.

Exhales are wasted with relief, "maybe .. but, your friend is truly the devil incarnate," Manda said, weaving a faint smile with a gaze like she would chew Elshara alive.

Instantly everyone who was there chuckled, especially the Ajun who was beside Manda, his laughter lingered in the boisterous state of the restaurant. The longer they exchanged chirps in the state of the table was filled with only one sweet drink in front of each of them, in that time they were also close to each other.

Leaving the five people who exchanged those eyes, the gegana that always accompanied the sky immediately moved from its place of origin in another direction because the command of the passing baby danced in the air that was sending hot air.

Under the blue sky with a piercing sun, the scene noise was still going on, but the other models were still trying to shoot and the director was forced to skip the Manda section.

And Elshara was still in her starting position, because the leadership of the organizers did not give her permission to occupy the position of Manda even though the agency leadership continued to persuade and ignore everything.

"Come on sir ... Rala was better than Manda, she could definitely do much better than Manda, "persuade that thin-haired man who kept following the middle-aged man who had slightly narrowed eyes.

"You are a really bad leader" he said as he turned to face the man approaching baldness, "you are too obvious if you underestimate your other protege, all the work that Rala cannot do, everything is done by Manda very well, then for what reason if Rala your favorite child is much better than Manda,"stick with firmly.

The head of the agency was stifled for a moment to hear the words of his client, what he said was indeed true, indeed, his soul is haunted by the fear of losing his position so he forgot to maintain the quality of the agency that attracted clients to use the children educated from his agency.

Is that scary? Elshara is too spoiled and her family fulfills the spoiled nature that Elshara possesses. He could not move, rejecting Elshara's request was a disaster for his position while not obeying the quality for this event will also impact the prestige of his agency will decrease.

With the blazing sun getting fiercer, the confidant of the organizer's leader was stirred up to two leaders who were fighting arguments, the organizer said, the young man faced his boss while carrying his white tablet.

"Sorry sir, it's an emergency" he said gasping.

"What's this?"ask the organizer.

"Try to calm down first, speak well,"tipal the thin-haired man.

The young man was still trying to swallow his dry saliva while adjusting his breathing pattern, "our biggest sponsor resigned after he found out that Manda was out of the show." he said.

"Well?!"exclaimed the two leaders so loudly that the young man shook his face in surprise.

"Remira's company resigns?"ask the organizer once again with a panicked look.

He nodded firmly, in fact he was also very panicked, a project that he had been working on would be useless if not fixed immediately, especially the head of the organizer, he immediately gripped the collar of the agency lead suit with the look of his eyes that lit the burning embers.

"LOOK! It's because of your selfishness, all the models have got their positions, we talked about it at the beginning and you screwed it up just because your favorite child wanted it, I don't want to know, I don't want to know, bring Manda as soon as possible or I'll replace all the models with other agencies except Manda!"snapping with a big breath.

Elsewhere Royyan who was near a beach that refracted the orange color of the sky, he tried to call Dirta for the first time, either will get a good response or vice versa, what is clear is Royyan just wants the continuity of this event to run smoothly so that he can return to Jakarta on time.

"Why do you call me, I'm busy at the restaurant" said Dirta, it looks like Dirta is calmer now.

"After your work is done, you meet El," asked Royyan who has not explained what he meant.

"What's wrong? Want to ask what you are? You're gonna have to ask me to do something, right?"guess the Dirta behind the phone.

Slowly Royyan's lips grinned, it turned out that Dirta had not completely forgotten their friendship, she still remembered the habit that Royyan often did.

"Your girl is throwing a tantrum, shooting is messy because of her" Royyan explained.

"meaning? Lu if you speak the obvious, never change wonder I'm the same you."

"Gini, El wants to grab the position of Manda who is also a top model in his agency, Manda is angry and he is unplugged, so please tell your girl if you don't make a noise, ask to do what has been scheduled from the beginning, do not change the schedule as he pleases," explained Royyan again.

"Yes. I'll try to talk later."

The call was quickly cut off. Royyan flipped his body back to the beach that did not have many visitors and in front of him there was already a figure of the woman he loved was standing devouring his favorite vanilla strawberry ice cream until it flew out of his mouth, his eyes were fixed on the lips that were likely to get even sweeter, Royyan thought so.

"Why do you think I'm that, anything weird?"tanya Almira did not stop licking the ice cream that was in his grasp.

She pulled Almira's small waist closer to her until their bodies were close together, making Almira again bend her pupils and stop her activities, then looked up to peck at her husband's gaze.

"Why are you, this is outside again, you forgot or what the hell?"rebut Almira tried to step back.

However, his waist was still held by Royyan, and Almira was forced to fall silent with one hand holding the remaining ice cream, while the other hand was hanging on Royyan's chest.

"Eat neat, if at home I have cleaned your mouth with my lips," he said as he wiped the edge of Almira's lips with a piece of tissue he took from the pocket of the suit he was wearing.

Degh's!

Almira's body rattled with a parade of heartbeats pounding like horses dodging hungry lions, then she pushed Royyan after not feeling the gentle touch of her husband.

"Don't haphazardly say, in the horrors of people in the thought of what later, you have already finished with your friend?"benggah Almira resumed his eating activities.

"Yet. Later after returning to Jakarta I just found out," replied Royyan clenched a former tissue and walked to his right side, there is a green trash can that looks clean.

"So she still holds a grudge against you? Kan, the girl he likes is back and she just stayed close to him, why are you still a hassle?"concluded Almira while dizzy looking for what objects can clean his hands.

Seeing the wife confused, Royyan again slipped one hand into his pocket and took two pieces of tissue from there and pulled both hands of Almira and cleaned the wife's hand with the tissue.

"Wait a minute, El is still showing that he likes me, so I have to know the response from Dirta, I've tried to avoid him, but because of work I can't always avoid him" Royyan explained.

The petite woman nodded, she was very much waiting for that day, the day she did not have to hide from everyone, the day she left the house without her mask, glasses and hat.

Both of them moved from the front of the restaurant to a beach area far from the human-human range with various activities, he said, Royyan and Almira walked side by side along the beach while enjoying the waves and the wind that whizzed towards it.

"If Dirta didn't like El, would you fall in love with her? She was beautiful, a top model too" asked Almira's inscription, implied clearly in her pupils.

"Hmm .. I don't know," said Royyan briefly.

Along with the stunning orange sky painting, the couple fell silent right in front of the sun in the area where Royyan and Almira were, they faced each other. Royyan entered the beautiful face of his wife while Almira, his face bowed with the dew that began to evaporate.

Although Dirta did not like El at that time, I would not love her, because at that time there was you among the needle of my life, the point, because you are in it, this love remains yours.

Batin Royyan is back.

"Tomorrow I will be busy outside the resort, because there is a lot of work to be done" Royyan said later.

Almira looks up, "hmm .. okay. I might as well start tomorrow to be busy."

"Happy work" said Royyan, who was short.

"Hm ..."Almira muttered in response to Royyan's words.

In another corner, Manda frowned, her curiosity re-excited, her imagination re-groped the possibilities that exist about the relationship of her best friend with the man she often calls the kebab guy.

"Gue was sure they must have something to do, even if the cousins couldn't have been treated this sweetly,"terka Manda who was folding her hands in front while she scattered her gaze at Royyan who was with Almira.

Suddenly Adrian and Ajun who were near Manda immediately exchanged eyes, then they nodded to each other, they had finished their inner conversation. So Ajun stepped forward right in front of Manda as he ruffled his waist.

"Don't go for it, he's your best friend, right? If there's anything, he must say honestly, it's just as good,"Ajun's legs until the sweet fragrance that refreshes the breath Ajun licks Manda's face.

"Yes, but they're like the courtship knows,"tepis Manda still stood firm, she didn't move from her initial position at all.

"Udahlah .. justin aja them,"reply Ajun again while putting both hands on the pointy shoulders of Manda and turning Manda's body forward and pushing it.

Bringing Manda away from the reach of Almira who was with Royyan was enjoying the twilight, then Ajun then exchanged eyes with Adrian as if talking to his friend's confidant to remain silent there accompanying his boss, and strangely Adrian understood the conversation between those eyes, then Ajun immediately pushed Manda again away from there.

"Eh uh uh .. Where are you taking me?"the protest of Manda being forced to walk due to the Ajun's push was very strong on his shoulders.

"Jalan aja, later you also know where to go,"sahut Ajun.

That afternoon they actually spent their time in the restaurant without anyone knowing of its existence, Ajun and Manda spent their time in the playground, while Almira and Royyan were busy on the beach enjoying the twilight, and what about Adrian? There was nothing he could do but continue to follow Royyan wherever his boss went, as he arranged Royyan's work schedule tomorrow.

Almira who was getting tired of the view of the sea and the sky finally turned to the chair sat by Adrian and he again looked at the husband who was asleep on the sand, actually the handsome man did not fall asleep, he just closed his eyes enjoying the roar of the wind approaching him.

"Sir .."Call Almira softly.

"Hmm .." - muttered Royyan.

"You don't want to love your faithful men what a gift it is" Almira said, not getting an idea from where she could say such a thing to her husband.

"Gift?"sahut Royyan as he opened his eyes and changed his position to sit facing the wife, "i've been giving the car to Rian, what other gift?"royyan asked into the face of his wife.

"Home? I think it's a gift that is worth Rian, he works very well, even when your personal business is just that he is still faithful waiting," he said as he turned back his net to Adrian.

"OKAY. I'll think about it again."

"That's good, you're a bummer, so you have to give gifts to reduce the saturation of your cooperation."

As Royyan gave a rough glance at Almira, he painted her face with a warm, sweet smile, "you say nothing, you don't care about anything."

"That's not it, I'm good, beautiful and not arrogant" she said, curling her lips upwards.

Once again Royyan's laughter broke out in front of Almira, with the cat-eyed woman immediately diving into Royyan's laughter which she called a rare thing and must be quickly captured in her memory.

NEXT ....
