Obsessive Love Disorder
No longer able to escape

We began our duties in the hotel hall after waiting for the artists to rest and bathe in their hotel room.

I'm still nervous after I found out that Andre was there. I don't want to say hello to her at the moment, I even want to pretend that I haven't known her all this time. I hope Andre forgot about our meeting at the club that night.

I took out the mask in my bag and put it on immediately so I could roam around Andre.

After several artists gathered in the hall, we explained our little assignment to them and gave us a rundown of the event that had been adjusted to the request of the artist.

“If anyone is asked about the schedule can directly ask Dhebi who is standing there” said Mas Eko when he was speaking in front of the artists.

All eyes were on me when Mas Eko pointed at me, but not Andre who was busy calling someone with a cell phone in his ear. Thank goodness he didn't hear my name called Mas Eko.

After all the explanations were done we held a photo session with the artists. I tried to hide and get away from Andre, I took the last place by still wearing my mask. The team crew and the artists are lined up neatly in front of someone who has been holding the camera or we call it a photographer.

“Come may others sit in front of” pinta Rian the photographer.

“Yang neat yaa ready smile to camera” said again ready to shoot with his camera.

I stood at the very end and hid behind the shoulders of my tall friend.

“Dheb Dheb lo forward try” pinta Rian makes me clumsy.

Andre looked surprised when he heard a name he knew mentioned.

I stepped my legs slightly to align my line with the others.

“Open mask lo bentar Dhebi”

I lifted both my halis. And look at everyone who has been watching me. I clumsily removed my mask and kept it in my pants pocket. Everyone was so silent because their attention had already been distracted by Rian who was arranging my position. Andre looked at me and was surprised.

I bow my head in shame. I was so sure that Andre was watching me at the time, but I did not dare to look at him. The photo session starts by taking several shots and with different styles. After the photo session was over everyone dispersed back to their respective activities.

I ran away from there and avoided Andre. I came out of the hall and walked away from there for the sake of a breath of fresh air by removing my mask. But someone held my hand.

“Dhebi”

I guess I was safe after escaping the hall quickly. But it turns out Andre can still find me.

“Dhebi is really you?”

I started my show.

“Iya Mas, can I help you?”

Andre frowned both of his eyebrows.

“This is me Dheb I'm Andre”

“I know mas. Mas Samuel Andreas the author of the novel in the film ‘Around The World in County’ is not it?”

“Dheb..” He was more astonished by my behavior as if he did not know him.

“Dheb we met at the Club that night”

“Sorry Mas may be wrong people. Excuse”

Then I left her standing there with a confused face.

Andre was still always watching me from afar secretly. He was still curious about me, he was still wondering if it was true that I had lost my memory of our meeting that night. But it felt impossible for Andre to accept all that, because it was impossible for him I forgot someone who had told me a lot with him even though our meeting was only once.

The next morning we started in sports with our main task, which is to take the artists to visit several theaters for their film premiere.

“Dhebi” again Andre approached me when in the hotel lobby.

“Iya mas”

“You can't pretend you don't know me Dheb , I'm sure you still remember me”

I kept quiet not answering. Because I was confused whether I had to admit it or keep on playing.

“I still save this”

He showed me a picture on his cell phone screen. A photo he took while inside the club, I remember it was taken when he asked me to pretend to be a friend he was with that night,we are not friends at all even today.

I'm still silent no longer can I deny.

“I don't know what your purpose is to pretend like Dheb, but I'm glad we finally got to meet here”

“Sorry Mas I still work a lot”

“Dheb wait” he still prevents me from leaving.

“Today I searched for you Dheb, I forgot that night to ask for your no, even I had time to look for you on social media with the name Dhebi which I only know but did not work, he said, until finally the universe brought us here”

Coincidence ? Again ?

Yes I remember what Sienna said, why this coincidence should always happen to me. I don't know why Andre was looking for me until this, I'm reluctant to ask, because he would have explained things to me a lot, and I didn't want it to happen again, like how I started with Aditya.

“Dheb no one wants me to talk about”

“Mas sorry. I'm still busy, so please cooperate mas” ketus I make him silent.

Then I immediately left her.

Me and all my team immediately led the artists to a movie theater that had so many fans waiting for them. Some infotainment cameras have been preparing to take pictures lined up in there.

I was busy organizing the crews by handing out tasks for them.

I spoke through my HT like an intel.

“Mona Mona please the fan in front of it tell swipe to the back of the Infotainment” camera

“OK Dheb” replied Mona at sebrang HT.

I was monitoring the event from afar, so I could pay close attention to my surroundings. I was standing back there with a sheet of paper and HT in my hand.

They started welcoming and started photo sessions as well as interview sessions.

I glanced at Andre occasionally. He was indeed so handsome and charming with his casual appearance as the author of the novel in this great film, but I did not expect him to be the one who had accompanied me at the Club that night. I thought Andre was a commoner who was friends with Lucy. But I just realized, Lucy the child of the owner of the film production can not have friends who carelessly and impressed just ordinary people,of course all his friends are people who have the same degree as him.

If only I had known this from the beginning, I never wanted to allow Andre to sit with me at the club that night.
