Mrs. Crazy And Mr. Perfects
CHAPTER 1| THE NIGHTMARE IS BACK

“See. Isn't that Selena Jasmine? Well, I never thought I could meet him at this place.”

Selena slid her hair in a graceful motion behind her ear as the whisper greeted her ear. Counted nine times she had heard similar whispers, and Selena was still firmly in the same position; sitting with full confidence while enjoying her ice cream. Then-guests and shop officials did not bother Selena at all, she even enjoyed it, assuming everyone was her fan.

“Ah, that lousy actress, huh? Well, the movie is fucked up.”

Now the hand movement of Selena who was about to feed ice cream to her mouth slightly faltered. The look in his eyes behind the frame of the sunglasses sharpened.

“Sadly my money is wasted free to watch such trashy movies. He can't act. If only his family wasn't rich, he would have just become a figure.”

Selena put down her scoop of ice cream, then glanced at two women beside her desk who were talking about her. If only not in a public place, Selena would have immediately grabbed her second hair, pulled it up to be uprooted from its place and begged for forgiveness.

The male manager who was sitting in the chair opposite Selena gulped down the salivary when she saw Selena's hands clenched. He was just about to warn the two women when suddenly Selena got up from her seat and walked towards the two women.

“Halo.” Selena greeted with a very wide smile, looking friendly. “Yes, I'm Selena Jasmine. The main cast of the film Another Blue that you watch.”

The two women returned Selena's greeting clumsily. Well, they didn't expect Selena to come in like this. They forget the fact that Selena is famous as a slightly crazy actress.

“I want to sincerely apologize to you guys.” Selena's words managed to make the two women and her manager, Liam, gawk. What the hell, a Selena Jasmine apologized to someone else? Somehow Liam felt uneasy, something bad seemed like it was going to happen in a moment.

“Okay, you must be very confused when watching Another Blue. Science fiction, plus elements of philosophy. Your head must have been aching to understand the storyline. Indeed, actually Another Blue is intended for educated people, people who are able to digest it well, so as to capture how amazing the film is. You ...” Selena looked down at the two women in turn, then continued, “Wah, you guys are definitely not the target of the movie. Just a glance at your chatter, I can already conclude, your heads are like birds. Blank. Just know eat only.”

Liam choked on the air, coughed. The two women glared in disbelief. However, before they shouted back, Selena first returned to voice.

“For that ...” Selena reached into her bag, took out a stack of banknotes and placed them in front of the two women. “I refunded money for your movie tickets. Repeatedly. Please, buy some nice clothes with that money. At least if you have no brain, do not look dirty, dirty, and cheap like that, right?” Selena's smile expanded looking at the two furious faces in front of her. “No need to thank, I am indeed happy to help the people of dhuafa.”

Selena blinked her eyes and brushed her hair, preparing to leave the place, when she remembered something. He turned around, smiling sweetly, before saying, “And don’t forget to wash your stinky mouth, Bitches.”

...***...

Twenty minutes Liam tried to control his breathing so as not to make a loud noise. Silence in the car is really like choking him, as if a low-dust sound will re-ignite the emotions of Selena who is still faithful to close her eyes in the back seat.

“Liam ...”

The more sounding sound like a mutter managed to make Liam gasp. He immediately turned his body, quickly said, “Ya, Selena. You need anything?”

“What Little Mermaid really turned into foam?”

Liam gawked, not at all expecting Selena to throw a question that was like being plucked carelessly. “Eh, if according to the fairy tale .. yes, he turns into foam, disappears. Do you want to be a mermaid in your next project?”

Even now Liam doesn't know what to reply to. The glare in Selena's eyes seemed to be revealing all the worries and pain she had never shared with anyone. All the ridicule he received directly or through social media sometimes eroded Selena's defenses, making her rumble behind the door of the room with a faint sobbing.

“Alright, we've got a drama today. You go home, Liam. The rest of the day I just want to be at home.”

Quickly, Liam got out of the car, opening the door for Selena. Looking at Selena's giant footsteps, passing through the path between the spacious garden to reach the front door of her house, made Liam sigh long. Having a beautiful face, a family that has a treasure, in fact, is not a guarantee of one's happiness. Liam had no idea how hard Selena forced herself to stay or how badly Selena's gaping wounds were due to the knocking comments that kept hitting her heart. But Liam knew very well, Selena would never give up on her dreams.

Selena stopped her steps to coincide with the sound of the roar of the car that Liam was driving. He took a deep breath, then looked up, sweeping his gaze at the expanse of twilight sky. Selena was still admiring the orange in the evening sky when she heard her mother's cry from the doorway, telling Selena to hurry.

The first thing Selena found when she finally entered the living room was her tangled face. The ever-excited middle-aged man was like losing half his life, leaning on the sofa with a look of despair.

“Papa? Is there a problem?” Selena broke the awkward silence in the room. He frowned deeply, before sitting next to his papa.

Robin Athaya, Selena's father, momentarily focused his gaze towards his daughter. Two seconds, the weight on his shoulders felt ten times heavier.

“Hey, what's the problem, Pa?” Selena began to fidget, she gently touched her papa arm.

“Selena ..” Robin's hoarse voice pierced Selena's ears, making her gasp. “Company fucked, Selena. The deputy director's been embezzling the company's money for the past three years. Running, out of nowhere, the police are trying to find him. The pandemic ... This damn pandemic also threw the company's shares to the most embarrassing point. Our company has reached its end, Selena.”

Selena's heart stops beating for a while. Slowly her body moved away with a pushy gaze that seemed to reject the bad news from her father. How could a large company belonging to his family be destroyed so easily? And what about his career? Who else could sustain his bad acting if not his papa money?

“Five months ago the company ran a sharp deficit. The bad management. Money embezzlement. Pandemics are gaining ground, hitting companies to their lowest. Sorry for not telling you, Selena. Papa is worried you'll have more thoughts.”

Selena held her head in disbelief at the reality that lay right in front of her face. “What—” Throat Selena feels choked. He tried to master himself before continuing, “Is there no way to save the company, Pa?”

The large room was silent for a moment. Robin looked at each other with his wife, as if he was having a discussion without a sound.

“Ada ..” Robin spoke weakly, as if he did not have the strength to make a sound. “La Sky Land is willing to acquire the company on one condition.”

“La Sky Land? Papa Mean ...”

“True, Selena. The Arkananta family owned company. It's a shame to actually ask them for help, but our company is really on the edge. And they ... they agreed they would acquire the company if—” For a moment, Robin looked at the face of the princess just stick, then with the voice of the concubine gust of wind she said, “If you want to marry their son, Selena. Ocean ... Ocean Arkananta.”

Selena's hand holding her papa's arm slowly decayed. He felt like the walls in the room were pinching him, making an incredible tightness. The whole light seemed to vanish, completely replaced throughout the eye of the beholder.

Arkananta Ocean. The nightmare has finally come back.
