Just A Professional Relationship
Episode Five
“Project is our target start one week after valentine. The concept is certain, as I explained in the last meeting. So we make it a kind of vlog that records Juna and Nadin while doing activities. Every week there will be a different theme tone,” is clearly a middle-aged man with glasses, who is the producer of a reality show that will involve Nadin and Juna together.
Everyone in the room sat quietly while reading the paper containing the concept of the event described. Similarly, Juna and Nadin participated in the meeting.
“So it's only broadcast live on Youflix only?” ask Tyo.
“If there is no wrong time there will be a discussion on tv as well,” continued Ardit.
“Iya, we already got a good response from several television stations, but we have to choose one. They'll be the offline version.”
“In the last contract about it is still not included. Please update first and I want to see as soon as possible,” replied manager Juna. It seems that he is more interested in discussing the issue of royalties compared to the concept of program— which does not seem interesting to him who is no longer a teenager.
“Good. His latest contract will be handed over soon after this.”
Almost everyone has saved the concept of the event to the table. Except for Tyo who still keeps looking over and over again the rows of words that exist. “Sorry. In the theme of this May twenty-eight date, there is a description of ‘Juna and Nadin bicker’. What does it mean?”
“Oh, later we will make there is a scene where Nadin and Juna fight for something. Maybe a difference of opinion or whatever.”
“I think the concept is completely pure vlog broadcast without script.”
“Indeed. But we think should be given the spice of drama, because the audience likes it that way.”
Tyo exhaled and pensively glanced at Nadin who was looking back at him.
“I think, that’s good idea,” comments Ardit. “If it will be broadcast on television, we can not broadcast something more interesting. Youflix and tv are different. We have to think up to there.”
“What does Mr Tyo mind?” ask the producer.
“Hm. Although it has become public consumption, but I want to keep the relationship of Juna and Nadin to be free from engineering drama like that.”
Ardit snorted loudly. Seemed to hold back from laughing. “They are no longer children. And certainly understand we are talking about the opportunity to maximize profits that should not be wasted. After all from the artist himself no one would mind, right?”
Juna and Nadin could only fall silent. They never say much in a meeting like that.
Actually Nadin understood very well that Tyo thought of all that for him. But, he himself did not mind. It made him confused as to what to respond to.
Finally, it was Juna who raised his voice. “I don't care if there is a concept like that. But on condition, Nadin and I can still review the concept provided, and have the right to refuse if it turns out to be too excessive for us to do. We will certainly give input also if it happens such conditions.”
“Good, we can accept. Still we are preparing the concept, but before starting the impression, we will review it first.”
Nadin was quite relieved because he felt represented. She thanked him through a smile to Juna who was sitting opposite her.

“Ahh, I am impatient. Three more weeks yes..” This is not the first time Nindi and Juna get a project together. But this time it felt special because the show was made specifically for them. That made Nadin endlessly smile at her.
“Until you forget that soon your birthday yes?”
“Yes too! Simultaneously our five-year anniversary.”
“What gift do you want?”
“Honestly, at this age I have not thought about birthday gifts.”
“Lagian, there will be many fans who love you gift.”
“Don't be jealous ya!”
“Why should be jealous?”
“Alah... last year aja you sprained, because I diasikan bacain greeting card when we dinner?”
“Who is not upset if taken while chatting?”
Nadin laughed too. Recollecting memories from a year back as they celebrated their year together at a restaurant. Nadin was always enthusiastic when reading letters from his fans that flooded the management post box. To the extent that Juna was annoyed at feeling forgotten.
“We had lunch in the cafeteria just okay?” ask Juna.
“Iya. Anyway while waiting for Bang Tyo to finish.”
The two continued walking down the corridor. At the same time, from the opposite direction two women walked closer. From the color of the woman's lipstick, Nadin could immediately recognize her. Although not familiar, but he can still remember the fierce face of the woman he had hit in front of the elevator.
When they were close together, Nadin just smiled while looking down a little. But he did not get a similar response. The woman just gave off a hateful look. Then go while continuing to chat coolly with his friend.
Nadin breathed a long breath. Still feel guilty because it looks like the woman was still remembering the first impression of their meeting that was not good. He could at least when he knew there were people who didn't like him.
Nadin is the type of person who can't stand to face hatred. Therefore, Tyo always paid close attention to the incoming job offer. Because it did not want to let its artist feel depressed.
When the problem was considered a successful team caleg, had made Nadin stressed. He could not stop fidgeting until his performance dropped. To the point of making Tyo himself feel extremely guilty.
“Why you?” Juna noticed a change in the look on Nadin's face that suddenly turned moody. Even his girlfriend
suddenly silence.
“Whose tall woman was it?”
“Which one?”
“That just happened to us.”
Juna paused his answer. “Why?” askalanya.
“Neg. At that time I accidentally hit him very fast. I think he's still sprained with me until now, deh.”
Nadin suddenly stopped walking. “Am I sorry? Mumpung not far,” he added.
“Just how you feel.” Juna rubbed Nadin's head which still looked worried. “Most he himself has forgotten.”
“Maybe yes... Continue, whose name is it? Who knows I'll catch him again.”
“She Mala. One of the models here.”
“Oh, model.. pantesan body is very good. Beautiful pula.”
“You are also beautiful, kok.”
“Oh, clear!” sahut Nindi, before finally laughing.
“Big, ah. I'm starving.”
The two continued walking towards the canteen. Ordering food, while waiting for new managers to appear after thirty minutes have passed. It is time for Nadin and Juna to part ways today. Nadin had to return to Athens.
After Tyo and Nadin left, Juna and Ardit were still in the cafeteria. Continue to talk about some things about work.
“It's a shame that your girlfriend should get a manager like that. Too young and inexperienced. If not for you, I prefer we work with others only.”
“Because of me? Not because of the good pay?”
“That's for you too.”
Juna just smiled, then took a sip of his tea which was no longer hot. He then gazed towards the sky through the glass wall beside him.
Shortly after, his phone shook. He stared towards the screen, before finally raising that call
go in.
“It's done... Where? Let me go there.”
After putting the phone back in his pants pocket, he told Artit to leave first.
“Juna,” call Ardit. When Juna was just standing. “Somewhat are you doing. But, don't get into trouble.”
“Please take care of my work contract,” reply Juna while passing.
