Loosely Paid, CEO Beautiful
Still Approaching the Arka

"Arka, how long will you wait?"

The campus administration staff called Keenan Arka Adrian back and charged him with the obligation he had to pay.

The 21-year-old was silent. For various reasons he has used, starting from the first day the payment process was too late. He was really confused this time.

"I wait, no later than this week. I can't give you any more waivers." said the staff.

"But ma'am, I really can't pay."

"If I keep your love dispensated, not tasty like other students. Try to find, which campus can be like this?. There's no, is there?"

Silent arka.

"Other campus, if students can not pay, the system will automatically change your status from active students to leave. Here doang you can still be understood. So please try it."

Arka could only nod, although that was not necessarily certain. Soon he was seen walking along the corridor, thinking how to get money immediately.

"Arka."

Someone approached him, apparently Robert. An artisan management friend, who the other day he gossiped with Doni and Rio.

"Hey, bro. What's up?" ask Arka.

He tried to be casual to Robert, even though the young man was his rival.

"Ntar in the afternoon, all were told to the management office. Ms. Arni said she called lo, Doni, and Rio. But no one is lifting. Ms. Arni said many new projects, clients want to hold casting for all our management children" said Robert.

"Oh, ok." Arka later said.

"Oh yeah, I'm just saying that. Do not come, because the casting akbar." said Robert again.

"Ok." answered Arka.

Robert has passed. Not long after that Doni and Rio came over.

"Why are you a child?" ask Doni to Arka. He looked at Robert who was starting to move away.

"She mengampein mbak Arni message, we were sent to the management office this afternoon. There are projects and casting." replied Arka.

"Tumben he told us." said Rio.

"Hes, at most Robert will show off to us. It must have been him who was in the same golden boy Arni, Philip sir, and Jeremy sir. Tau own management officials we choose love when about the job. At most there is also another boy who dapet." said Doni at length.

"But it's okay, kali. Dateng aja." said Rio later.

"Who knows there are clients who are interested in us" he continued.

"Yes too, if we don't try where we know." Arka.

"Gue didn't come ah." Doni seems to be very shy.

"Come on bro, come along." take Rio.

"Who knows our fortune is there, right?" continued again.

"Yes, bro. Let's have the theme." timpal Arka.

"Free, bro. Robert again must be the one who dapet." he said pessimistically.

"Try it first." Rio tried to convince.

Doni was thinking.

"Come on!" push Arka again.

"Yes, that's it." Doni gave up, Arka and Rio became sumringah.

"Well that's dong." they said at about the same time.

That afternoon the three of them went to the Peace Production management office, which had been overshadowing them all this time. And it's true what Robert said, that day many production houses held casting there. The participants not only come from the management itself, but are open to the public.

"Arka, Doni, Rio."

Mbak Arni as the talent division of Peace Production called the three young men. When they were in a daze, in the crowd of participants who passed by.

"Yes" they said later.

"Here!"

Ms. Arni led them into a room.

"Here, you guys change your costumes first" said the woman.

Mbak Arni gives three sets of clothes, which correspond to the height and weight of each. Soon they finished changing.

"It's handsome." said mbak Arni staring amazed the three. Arka, Doni, and Rio were also grinning.

"Tumben mbak Arni attention." whispered Doni.

"Regularly, there is a want." Rio chirped in a soft voice.

"And if we are elected, he is also the one who cuts our honor." he continued.

"Just casting this time, our management kids should get all. Whether it's just advertising, the main role, or supporting. Don't let anyone fail. Because this event is held in our management building and we have to prove that our management is not good." Mama Arni gave a message.

"OK mbak, ready." said Arka while throwing a smile.

"Beres." said Doni and Rio at about the same time.

"You go straight to those rooms. While carrying this, your bio. Later leave it there." said mbak Arni again.

"Okay mbak." they answered simultaneously.

Mbak Arni gives a copy of the biodata that has been printed to each of his talents.

Soon they came out of the room, then moved towards the rooms used for casting. There's a lot of options there. Such as advertisements, FTV, Movies, and talent for reality shows.

One by one the search event was followed by Arka, Doni, and Rio. Like the word fishing, it is better to put bait everywhere. Because the chances are bigger. That day they spent most of their time there.

Three days later, Arka, Doni, and Rio got a call from management. That some clients want all three of them, to participate in the second screening of talent session.

Two days later they were called again to undergo a screen test, before the final verdict was announced. Of course they were excited and did not refuse. After returning home from college, they rushed there.

Arka, Doni, and Rio are separated. Arka was asked to re-cast advertisements for hair cleaning products, films and FTVs. Doni and Rio were asked for different commercials as well as movies. After the test screen was over, they returned and waited for an announcement.

"Arka, you've been told from the casting?"

His mother asked him one cold morning. It's been raining since last night and it still leaves its speck this morning.

Arka understood, surely now his mother is in need of extra money. Even though he did not dare to tell Arka honestly.

"No, ma. Ibu doain Arka ya ma'am." said Arka later. His mother smiled thinly but sincerely.

"Surely, son. Mom always doain you. Let's eat!"

Arka smiled, then devoured her morning breakfast of fried rice. For almost two months, the breakfast was always the same. Because the mother is only able to serve it.

Their money was very limited, and his mother's income was little. While Arka had not received a job offer for a long time, and the father was still lying in the hospital.

That morning Arka left for college, again he was asked about the payment. And for the umpteenth time he fell silent, unable to ascertain when he would be able to pay. He himself did not want to apply for leave, because it was very responsible. A little more college will be finished.

Such were the words he heard from one of the administrative staff. Words that he had actually heard before, but continued to be repeated.

That day Arka completed the course with a slightly messy mood. Being honest about this payment was extremely torturous to his mind. If only he had a lot of money right now.

"Arka."

Suddenly after so many days passed, Liana reappeared before him. If Liana is not a woman, Arka may have punched her in the face. She was so upset at the problems in her life, and also at bullies like Liana.

"Bos lo not kapok-kapok also yes." said Arka in an angry tone, which he tried to hold. But the look of annoyance was clearly visible on his face.

"The last couple of days, Amanda's been a little clumsy. But today she's spirit again." replied plain Liana.

"I wanted to ask for my offer at that time" he continued later.

Arka sighed then walked away from Liana. Liana is following him.

"So how's Arka?. Want to marry siri and impregnate my boss?" ask the woman.

This time Arka turned her head, as Liana's voice was quite large. He was afraid that many would hear and eventually misunderstand.

"Tell your boss, find another man. I don't want to, I still have my pride." replied Arka.

"Why the hell?. The work is good. Stay in and out of the doang." said Liana.

"Enak, your mbah." said Arka.

"That I am in the village."

"Lod."

"You yes, Arka."

"I said no, no."

Arka replied with a slightly snapping tone.

"You think again. If you're my boss, you can make a lot of money. There is no need to bother thinking about the bad college money and the debts of your parents. Everything will be paid off in a moment."

This time Arka really went up. He stopped his steps again and turned his head and approached Liana.

"Denger yes, Liana. You and your boss have been too deeply involved in my personal life. So I ask now stop!. Stop chasing me, stop stalking my life. My college, my parents' debt, it's none of her business. Wanna?"

"But Arka, think about the benefits."

"Argh."

"You can live a decent life."

Suddenly Arka's phone rang, it turned out Arni.

"Hallo, Ark?"

"Yes, ma'am."

"You, Doni, and Rio passed the screen test.please get to the office, yeah."

"Seriously mbak?" ask Arka not to believe it.

"Yes Arka, just get ready. Wait until 8 o'clock. Put on some cool clothes, okay?"

"Yes, okay. Thanks to you, ma'am." Arka.

"Sama-sama." answered Arni and turned off the phone.

"Where's Arka?" ask Liana again.

"No." Arka.

"The prize is good, you know." Liana persistent.

"In the next few days, I'll have more money and I don't need your boss's money. So, stop bothering me. Okay?"

Arka left Liana. This time he stops a taxi, so Liana stops chasing him.

"Snake the road, sir." Arka told the taxi driver.

"Where, deck?"

"Jalan gem 3." replied Arka.

The young man went home first to change clothes, after which he went to the Peace Production management office. There he met with a client and signed a contract.

He then went through the reading and filming process for a few days. She was nominated for a leading role in a romantic film. At first he thought he had the lead role, but the role was actually obtained by Robert.

Arka was a bit disappointed, as she felt between herself and Robert had the same talent. It's just that Robert is considered more handsome by management people and clients, because of the color of his skin and look like a Korean. His fate was luckier than Arka's.

Although Arka is also very handsome, but for management and clients so far, Robert is better seen on camera. Seba Arka skinned little taning. Arka always hated it, but he was in need of a lot of money.

It doesn't feel good to waste a chance, even if it's not the main character. So he just lived it all, after all he also got two ads at once and also FTV.

Honor of the four jobs if combined, it will be enough for Arka to pay tuition and also help his mother repay the debt.

Arka negotiates, asks for the honor to be paid in advance and the client agrees. He went through the filming process with a heart of relief, because the money was already in hand.

***

After the filming process that took several days, Arka intends to meet her lover Maureen. He hadn't taken the girl for a long time. Because lately he doesn't have enough money.

After all, it was impossible to invite a girl as beautiful as Maureen to eat on the side of the road. Because of course Maureen wouldn't want to. Today he has money to please his girlfriend.

Arka continued walking down the faculty of communication science. He accidentally did not tell Maureen, because he wanted to surprise her. In his hand was held a bouquet of red roses Maureen's favorite import.

Arka knows where Maureen often sits with her friends. So he also visited the place.

Arka smiled when she heard Maureen's voice from behind the wall, and she quickly accelerated.

But then a bolt of lightning struck Arka's heart. When he saw his lover was on the shoulder of a man.

And what makes him more hurt is, the man is none other than Robert.

Arka's body was instantly warped, the flower in her hand just fell down. He now turned around with the remnants of the energy he had. Slowly he left the place.

Arka calls Doni and Rio, and she tells him. Both of his friends were very angry at Robert, they were now trying to calm Arka down.

Shortly after, Arka was called back to the Administration room, where she was given three days to complete her pay.

Arka said if he could pay today as well. Soon he went to the ATM to withdraw some money. But just arrived at the ATM, he suddenly got a call from home.

Arka rushed home. When he arrived home Arka found his mother who was being bullied and mocked by loan sharks. Full of anger Arka finally gave all his honor to pay the principal debt of the mother.

And just now the problem was over, suddenly the hospital called. Rumored if Arka's father needed immediate action more serious, because it had experienced some complications.

Arka was so scared to face all that. Plus now the money is only three hundred thousand rupiahs left. What he could do with the money.

He had nowhere to borrow, for he had no guarantees. Only the house they had, but it was still maintained by his stepfather. Because that's the only thing left of them.

Arka was silent on the side of the ICU room, seeing the condition of the stepfather who was increasingly critical. He tried to think hard, what he could do next.

To earn extra money, to fulfill the care of his father. Arka was really confused at the moment. All exits are closed.
