Tania let Armand snatch her phone back. He knew against his best friend's ex-husband was useless, because often heard the outpouring of Salma he little understood the character of Armand who did not want to be blamed and relented.
Armand took his cell phone to the next room and slept there. Tania growled in annoyance, kicking the pillow and bolting it down to the floor. He should understand the risk of seizing a man who loves his partner very much. But this is not the situation he wants. She was even willing to remain second, as long as Salma remained Armand's first wife. That was because only Salma could be patient and deal with Armand's behavior.
"May your presence change your nature, your father." Tania rubbed her growing belly.
The next morning, Tania continues to serve Armand even though her heart still hurts from the sound of her husband's bullying last night.
"Mas, breakfast." Tania knocked on the door of the room where Armand slept last night. There was no sound and movement from inside the room, Tania ventured to open the door.
Armand's still sleeping on his face. On the bed, there are several photos of Salma along with Cakra and Candra. Tania took her breath, she tried to calm down in the face of a household situation that was unlike her expectations.
"Mas Armand, wake up. Breakfast first." Tania patted her husband's back. Armand groans specially awake. Slowly he turned his body and squinted his eyes when he saw Tania who was standing at the side of his bed.
"Salma?" hisses.
"I'm Tania. Quick wake. Breakfast," Tania exclaimed, then left Armand, who had just regained consciousness from waking up.
Meanwhile, at the same time, Salma who was in Jakarta was enjoying his breakfast with the invitees from several other regions.
Salma is very happy to be able to gather and meet people who have the same fields and interests as her.
"Sstt, that's Forced Asa." Bian, Salma's new friend who is a content creator for health and exercise tips, codes for her deskmate. All eyes were on the two men who had just walked into the hotel restaurant.
"Hot Daddy" said Jeni, a content creator in cooking.
"Eh, he doesn't have children yet" said Bian. Salma tried to guess which of the two men the two friends were referring to.
"It was, but died in the womb with his late wife" errat Jeni.
"Which one is it?" Salma was curious at last too.
"Wear a white shirt" whispered Bian. Salma again noticed two men who were choosing a buffet breakfast menu.
The appearance of a white shirt man shown by Bian, like a mature man aged early 40 years in general. As Salma was staring at him, their sight met. Salma belatedly turned her face away, the man first threw his friendly smile.
"Salmaaa, if regular ngeliatin aja times. Oh, my God, I'm so embarrassed to be caught staring. Hopefully we don't expect any more mode." Bian nudged Salma's leg. While Jeni tried to hold her laugh behind the tissue.
"Who is that?" ask Salma. As soon as both of his friends looked at him.
"Where do you live in the world next door, Salma?" chirps Jeni.
"You're a famous content creator, but you don't know Mr. Angkasa?" ask Bian not to believe it.
"His name is Asa or Angkasa anyway? but I really don't know who he is." Salma again observed the white-clothed man who was already sitting by the window.
"Angkasa Wiryawan's. If in the television world it is usually called Pak Asa," explained Bian.
"Artist?" ask Salma again. Sontak Jeni was blown away and Bian gawked. Jeni's laughter drew the attention of Asa and her friend.
"Sorry you don't have a television at home?" sindir Bian's.
"Sorii, it's weird that you're all. His job is on social media, but living kayak in the forest," said Bian. In reply, Salma pinched Bian's arm in dismay. The sudden pinch made Bian scream again and attracted the attention of some visitors who were enjoying breakfast including Pak Asa.
"Pak Angkasa is the executive producer he also has his own production house, and this event is one of the producers, Mr. Asa," explained Jeni.
"Ow," said Salma, nodding his head.
"It's just that doang? at least a penny cake, who knows the three of us are offered to be film players," said Bian. Salma chuckled in response. He did not dream of becoming an artist at all, attending such a prestigious event was already an achievement for him.
"Reverse yuk, in the afternoon we have to prepare for the event later tonight." Salma stood ignoring the protesting gazes of her two friends who were still trying to attract the attention of Pak Asa and her friend.
In the afternoon before the award ceremony, Salma and other invitations were told to prepare before the event began. Jeni who comes from a family is calling the make up artist team for her and her two friends.
"It's really pretty, you," praised Bian after she wore the dress her sister-in-law chose.
"Mother two kids yes it looks like, you are the same Jeni who will be the center of attention," elak Salma blushed. Salma's age and status, indeed older than his two friends who have not been raising, but he has an allure that is able to make all eyes feel at home staring at him longer.
"A ready? yuk." yuk." Jeni appeared from the next room. The three of them went up to the meeting room located on the top floor.
Just getting out of the elevator, a flash of light coming from the camera of the reporter greeted the three of them. Social media reporters even television gossip shows mixed into one, waiting for the invitations to cross in front of them.
"I don't feel like an artist at all" whispered Bian as he squeezed Salma's arm.
The three of them walked slowly towards the red carpet that was stretched out until they entered the event room. One by one the invitation was asked to stop for a moment to take a picture, and in a little interview.
"Lunar orchids .. there are lunar orchids" one reporter exclaimed. The newshunter's camera shot straight into Salma's face as he reached the center of the shooting scene.
"It's true Mba Salma 'moon orchid' huh?" ask a reporter to make sure. Salma who still could not believe her name was hailed by the reporters, could only smile awkwardly.
Flashes of camera lights repeatedly shone on his face, until the committee came to rescue him from the invasion of journalists.
"Excellent, Salma. Apparently all this time I've been friends with artists." Bian cupped his cheeks with both hands.
"The content of this Salma is indeed amazing, Bi. He received promo services mixed with motivational sentences. I also often see you sing, cover the song until praised by the original singer, ", said Jeni.
"Iih, if that's just a prank. You're so much better, Pinter cooks pretty again. Bian is a sports guy, look at his body goals. My content is interspersed with motivational sentences, because I have no ability. I'm usually just babbling." The two friends laughed loudly over Salma's explanation, without them noticing a pair of eyes as sharp as an eagle, was watching them from afar.
