"It was actually the idea of Mr. West and Mr. Jhonson." replied Grece.
I was surprised by Grece's reply, I didn't expect that this was the idea of a person I didn't even expect at all. Not to mention that Mr. Jhonson and Manda have also come to me and asked me to stay away from Peter, I feel that at that time Mr. Jhonson really asked me to stay away from Peter because Manda and Peter have a special relationship.
"Grece! don't lie anymore, I'm out of the competition if you keep lying like this!" threaten her
"Aaaa~ I'm really, don't lie to you. It's really Mr. West's idea and Mr. Jhonson~" Grece whined at me
"Lunar, listen to our explanation first. Actually this is a mutually beneficial idea between the village and also us as a team of creators" Yohan said, I turned to look at Yohan intently so she could understand that I was angry with them if they lied to me this time.
"Lunar, you know this village actually has the potential to be famous for their chocolate quality?" yohan asked me, I frowned and immediately remembered Peter's words about the chocolate from this village.
"Yes.. Peter told me once" my dream was flat
"Lord West as the village chief is very regretful that he could not bring this potential to the national level, even though they could have become internationally famous" Yohan said
"When we spread the leaflets about this singing competition, Mr. West immediately invited us in particular and expressed his interest in having us properly carry out our competition in this village. We provided various types of our needs and what you might feel is the building and its decoration, it is a commitment of Mr. West to us" said Aiko
"Then? what does this have to do with me, Peter and Manda?" I was pressuring them
"This is related to the popularity of the show, the rating will not go up if we only rely on the quality of the competition without any frills - drama and also gimmick" Yohan replied
"Lord West and Mr. Jhonson agreed to create the spice by utilizing the closeness of their son, while our audition was looking for one more person who could be a trigger... unfortunately only you are able of so many participants." Aiko timpal.
"You know Manda has a voice that is no less good to you? you and him can compete fiercely, unlike the other participants. Well... although you are more good at processing emotions when singing and that is a factor that is not owned by Manda~ you seem untouchable in this competition.." said Grece.
"I don't understand, maybe because it's not my world, but what I'm feeling right now is that I don't like it this way, you're making me, Manda and Peter hostile for no apparent reason" firmly I said it
"We understand that, therefore we apologize to you as sincerely as possible. We're sorry.." sounded full of regret when Grece said it.
We were silent for a moment, and I kept thinking about what would happen if I kept up with the scenario and the gimmick - their gimmick. "Am I going to be antagonized by the villagers huh? I never interacted with them, in contrast to Manda.. Of course they will defend Manda more right? I'll be the villain here" I said in my heart.
"Then.... about the agency, what happened?" I broke the silence between us
"She is, that's beyond what we thought, a distraction we never thought would exist." replied Yohan.
"Give me time.I have to think about it well, however there will be the possibility that the villagers think I am the criminal." I said.
"Ta. but... Lunar, ka.." Grece said, Yohan suddenly patted Grece's shoulder until he stopped talking.
"We understand, Lunar I just reminded you that the second competition will be held in three days. You don't have to come if you decide to leave the competition, I hope you can decide what's best for you" Yohan said after patting Grece's shoulder, I just nodded in response to Yohan's words.
After they came home and left my house, I immediately walked into the room but my father and mother were waiting for me in the room. It seemed like the two of them heard the whole contents of my conversation with Grece, Aiko and Yohan, their eyes were very revealing if father and mother were ready to listen to whatever I wanted to talk about and discuss.
"I... confused.." chirped me.
"This is the story, father and mother will try to help you think" said the father as he patted the bed asking me to sit between father and mother, I walked up to them and sat between them.
"We understand, there will be a chance that the villagers will hate you because you are in a feud with Manda... You want to quit this competition, dear?" mother asked, I let out a long sigh before answering mother's question.
"I.. want to be honest with mom and dad." I muttered.
"What's that?" ask dad
"Dad.. mother.. I don't actually want to do this. I'm doing this just because I want to make you proud of me, after all this time just being a burden to you guys... I at least.. want to make you proud.I want to hear the word he's my son, I'm proud of him from you guys.I realize I'm a useless son to..." not finished my words, I said, suddenly my father and mother hugged me tightly.
"We're proud of you" said the father and mother together after hugging me, I gasped at what the father and mother said.
"Dad used to say that you were our pride from the moment you were born into this world" he said
"You don't have to prove anything, just by staying like this we're proud of you" she said
I could say nothing more to reply to the words of father and mother, all because I cried sobbing - sobbing hearing the words of father and mother. I could only cry in their arms, enjoying the warmth of the hands of the two parents who loved me so much. I cry yes.well this is how I am, often my emotions are not controlled.what else when it comes to father and mother, I often think excessively about my uselessness.
The night passed and the morning was approaching, when it was finished with the hunger in the dining room when there were guests who came to visit my house. That person is Paul, the agency of the Tamamo Group under the Gates Family Group company said by Yohan. He officially came to bid on me unlike yesterday who just talked to me, Paul explained all the details about what I would get if I signed the contract.
Paul explained who - who are the singers under their management, none of the singers - the singer whose career was slumped. All become stars that shine brightly, as well as me if I decide to join them. Paul also said if they hate setting and gimmicks, they only value talent and hard work.
After a lengthy explanation, Paul finally handed me a few pieces of paper containing the contract. Dad accepted it and read it carefully, not long before he asked about some details - small details on the contract. Paul simply replied...
"If anything needs to be added and that feels favorable for the Lunar, we are ready to listen and change that contract" Paul replied firmly
"Darling, all decisions are in your hands. This contract is too tempting for a debutant like you.." Dad told me.
"John... Did you really read it well?" asked the mother to the father, the father nodded several times answering the mother's question.
"Luna's obligation is to just sing and follow the rules of the company in general, there are no strange things that might burden Luna. I have never read this contract for their talents" replied the father
As soon as I remembered about the words of Yohan and Aiko, this company always stole the talent of the Werner Group and they always managed to get it. If you just say that, then no wonder many talents out there are tempted. The money and fame they offer will certainly attract a lot of talent, but that is not what I have been thinking about...
It's about...
It is likely that I will meet with my prince again.After I sign the contract, then officially I will work for the company belonging to my brother Jester's family. There's no way I'll ever see her again, right? is this going to be my way to meet her again naturally? could it be that I can apologize to her with this natural encounter? will Selena be mad at me if I get back to see Jester? or.... brother Jester will immediately break my contract if he knows he..... have talent who ever hurt his heart?
"...The na? Dear luna? you daydreaming?" mother asked me, I also woke up from my daydream
"Well. ii. yes ma'am, how about it?" ask my mother
"How's Lunar? are you willing to be a talent in our company? we are very happy if you accept it and we promise to make you a famous star like our other stars" Paul said
I stared at the contract paper on the table right in front of my eyes, there was a ballpoint that looked luxurious next to the paper as if the ballpoint was an early marker of my stardom. A desolate village girl suddenly became a famous star with an instant pathway, who wouldn't envy me? isn't this the mind I used to say before Selena and Dr Ellie? do I have to accept it. I, worry...
