MuA Badly Fragile
Duck Before the Goose

The next day, Celli seemed to take a breath back and forth behind the mask he was wearing. No make up at all, a message from the doctor Darwis always ringing in his ear.

So she, did not wear makeup at all today. Shudder in horror saw his face in the mirror this morning. The acne is more terrible without the makeup covering it.

Take the positive side. These two months could be about skincare. You can buy a phone that you have always wanted. A purplish color phone with the logo of a South Korean boyband that is again hype at this time. He's running out the same boyband. Even if they just listen to their songs. But confessing to fans. Less sure called fans..🤣🤣

Once again Celli took his breath. When he saw Vita walking towards him with a smile. A full smile. Celli was sure, the girl must have known what happened to her.

"Hi...you're Celli, right? I barely recognize you if you wear a mask like this. Still a pandemic?" Sapa Vita's. While smiling at her.

"I'm getting a cold again. Afraid of your nularin." Celli.

"Ooo ..okay then. Hope your cold doesn't interfere with your confidence. See you inside. Bye Celli's..."

"Damn it! Plastic face! Lice kupret!"

Celli cursed at Vita nonstop. Until the girl disappeared behind the toilet door. With two of his friends.

"You sure you know him?" asked a half-whispered Celli friend. They're touching up their make up on the toilet.

"It has. I'm sure he's allergic to coconut oil. And I'm sure he hid a big pimple behind that same pony mask." Vita replied in a whisper.

"I wonder about you. What's wrong with Celli to you?" ask the others.

"I'm as bad as him. Remember he was chosen to be Clarissa's MUA, even though I've been after him for a long time. Know that her followers are so many so I can help raise my followers. And so does Fabian. He always got top artists. Hence this time, I cannot lose to that ugly person. Julian has to be my artist." Tekad Vita's.

"Naughty-looking?" Two of her friends gawk at her hearing Vita call Celli ugly.

"Yes, I'm sure. If he were now that would be ugly. Rasain him!" again Vita scolded Celli. Make the two friends look at each other.

Without them realizing a cell phone is recording all their talk.

"All ready?" jo asks May, the wife. Despite the status of husband and wife. But they remain professional while working.

"Already, Sir. Has Julian come? He said yesterday he didn't want to come. But he said he came here after the photo shoot with Liu." Ask May back.

"Said Roy had arrived.nah it was him." Said Jo saw his foster children come directly sitting on the chair. Tired clearly visible on his handsome face.

Introduce Julian Argantara 😍😍😍

"If you're tired, just rest." Advice Jo. He knows Julian's shedule is pretty solid these days.

"I'm looking for some entertainment here." Julian replied, closing his eyes. Leaning his burly body on Jo's couch.

Jo and May look at each other. I don't know what Julian meant. They were about to ask when Mirna's voice, May's assistant interrupted.

"Sister, they're ready."

"Okay, let's go there now." Answer Jo.

"You're there now what will you do?" ask May.

"Let me catch up." Julian answered briefly.

Jo and May finally leave Julian, who is still closing his eyes. Followed by Mirna and Rudi, Jo's assistants.

"Aracelli Anjani." Julian Guman.

"I wonder how bad your face is now." Inner Julian absurd.

Staring at his cellphone which now plastered Celli's face.

"Please sir, Brother." Greet a staff. Let the two people sit in the space provided. Even though May stood up again as soon as she received the microphone. Five people entered the room from the right side. One of them is Celli who clearly looks to wear a mask.

"Okay, I don't have to mince words anymore. You are here because one of you will take my place as MUA of Julian Argantara." May paused her words.

Seeing how enthusiastic the four participants were. But not with Celli. The girl just rolled her lazy eyes.

"Handsome is yes. But if his words were like a dragon again gushing fire. Mending is not." Inner Celli.

If not the persuasion of sister May plus the lure of bonuses from her teacher. Celli prefers to apply to other artists.

"Well, we know the function of makeup is to cover the shortcomings of anyone who uses it. Without changing the original. Well for that, your test is how you can cover the shortcomings of our model that will be your trial. Model please come in." May Exclamations.

And the five people with masked faces instantly entered and stood in front of each of the contestants.

"It's like miss universe just tested it." Inner Celli.

"Miss Universe where there's a test nabbing others, Non."

One side of Celli's self chimed. Looks like this Celli has two sides in him.

"Oh yes, yes. Miss Universe is being asked questions that continue to be answered." Inner Celli again.

He was even engrossed in himself. May's words brought her focus back.

"You have 30 minutes, plus 10 minutes for the final touch. All the tools were ready because Julian was wearing makeup from Estee Lauder or at least Maybeline." May. And five people instantly showed a table next to each contestant.

"Okay.on the count of three we start with the models to unmask. One..two..three..."

The four participants immediately gaped at their respective models. But not with Celli. He was quite calm facing his model. A man with a scar about three inches below his left eye.

The other four participants were instantly confused. They also got a model with a different scar spot on her face. They never do makeup on people with scars on their faces.

Celli momentarily looked at his model.

"Haloo.introduce me Celli. Please cooperate." Celli said while bowing his body. Started the introduction with the model. For Celli to say hello to the model is important, so that they both feel comfortable at work. And that introduction made the model Celli smile.

"I'm starting to." Celli spoke and the model nodded. For a moment Celli observed the face of his model. It is important to know the character of the face of the model. Until Celli can determine what type of makeup matches the character of the face of the model.

"Is this real?" celli asked slowly while sweeping the concealar in her model scar.

"I was hurt two months ago. And hurt in that part." Answer the man softly.

Celli just boo ria. At the same time, a furore happened. Four other participants shouted, seeing who was coming. Julian walked into the room, directly sitting by Jo's side, the manager.

The eyes that were still covered in sunglasses were scanning towards the front. Ignoring the hysterical cries of all four of his MUA candidates. Julian's eyes instantly focused on Celli whose face was covered in a mask. But it is clear if you are concentrating on the model that is being made up.

A thin smile was engraved on Julian's lips.

"Something caught your attention" asked Jo, who had memorized Julian's character.

"Little." The man answered while folding his hands in front of his chest. Staring at May who had just patted Celli's shoulder slowly. Because the woman had just come from Celli's place to assess how the girl worked.

"How's it?" ask Jo.

"You'll see later." May answered enigmaticly.

"And you, there will be a surprise for you." May said to Julian.

"Otherwise?" julian asked as May just pressed her shoulders.

"Because you prepared that ugly MUA for me. Aahhh, he's not that bad. Just like a duck before turning into a goose. Ugly before the pretty come back." Inner Julian.
