OPEN YOUR MASK, PRINCESS!
Episode 21 ATTENTION IN SILENCE
There's a place where you feel comfortable and reluctant to turn
There are times when you choose calm among the crowds
There's a way in which you'll find a piece of feeling that's only created for you
__Quote of Yue Hwa aka Weini__

Shooting schedule for Weini's first ad has been determined by management. The script also began he learned in the hose shooting soap opera. Weini just realized that dividing time in two jobs was very draining of the mind
and energy.
“Ah, lily.” Weini brushed off the jidat when she remembered she had not asked Haris for permission for an advertising contract. Worse yet, the ad demanded a fighting scene and he was not allowed to use a substitute role. Rushing he got up from sleep and approached Haris who was still in the course room.
Haris was tidying up the stationery after his afternoon class was over. He noticed Weini's presence peeking at him from the crack of the door.
“Review red eyes when stalking.” Gurau Haris lures Weini out of hiding.
Weini moved from behind the door and entered the classroom. The 16-degree-centigrade air conditioner was still hot for Weini, nervousness made her sultry.
“Pak Haris, I made a mistake. Please get angry and I will not argue.”
Beyond Weini's expectations, Haris's character was so relaxed that he got carried away. “Speak.” The order was thrown in a very soft tone.
“I agreed to an advertising contract without your permission. Sorry I was tempted by two hundred million to forget to discuss with you.” The look was so sweet and regretful from both of Weini's eyes. He was very rash to ignore the role of Haris in determining the job, however Haris was like his father.
“If you feel capable of doing so it doesn't matter. Anyway I forgot to add the article about the approval of the job offer in our agreement.” Said Haris casually.
“That problem, this project demands me kungfu.” Weini's voice weakened as she uttered kung fu.
Haris. He taught Weini the Wing Chun kung fu from the age of seven, the girl's ability was beyond his expectations. He seemed destined to inherit a martial art that requires concentration and inner calm. Despite being able to fight, Weini always hid her skills and that was all because Weini obeyed her. Now a seventeen-year-old girl, she has the right to decide which option is good for her, even if it may not be the best.
“How much is the fine if you break the contract?”
“Two times of payment.” Weini resigned, what happened happened.
“Then you have to do your best, we don't have that much money.” Harris joked. He was clearly in favor of Weini's decision. Hidden talents should not be left forever hidden.
This is your chance to demonstrate your abilities, Miss Yue Hwa.

A red sports car was parked for nearly an hour next to an empty warehouse. The rain flushed the western area of Jakarta so heavy, but the car owner felt at home inside. From his sitting position behind the wheel, he could clearly see the spot across. White painted house combination of cream with a page that is quite shady, although it does not look luxurious but from the outside view alone can reflect comfort.
“Nona Weini lives with her father. It is not known where her mother was because since childhood only the father took care of her. He is still in high school. His father was a private mandarin teacher. She's supporting Miss Weini
from that job only.”
Still ringing all the information that Lau expressed this afternoon. Xiao Jun did not expect the girl to bear the brunt of a life that was quite sloppy as well. He understood very well the feeling of growing up without a complete parent figure.
Xiao jun lamented his dark childhood. Ever since he became Li San's son, he had forgotten freedom. Every day lives in rules and supervision. Now he asked Lau not to go with him. Let him feel freedom in terms of privacy. You have to rely on GPS to get to your destination. And just by staring at that simple house, Xiao Jun was delighted. He did not expect to see Weini out, imagining the girl in the warmth of the house alone made him happy.
Xiao Jun's mobile phone rang echoed. The black smartphone vibrated on the dashboard and was soon grabbed by the owner. A video call from Liang Jia waiting for the connection from Xiao Jun. Ringing was still waiting for the response from the owner, but Xiao Jun hesitated to pick up the phone now. He was worried that Liang Jia was with Li San and saw him alone in the car. But what if the one who called his mother?
“Ni Hao.” Xiao Jun opened the conversation to Liang Jia who was smiling in a video call.
“Xiao Jun, how are you? Why take my calls so long? Your mother missed you.” Liang Jia turned the video on Xin Er who was sitting next to him. As soon as he saw Xiao Jun, the six-headed lady ran out of words. Both eyes glared at the face of the much-missed child.
“Mother, how are you? Why do you look cursive?” Xiao Jun began to worry about seeing his mother's physique that looked thinner and tired face. He suspected the great master was troubling his mother when he was away from home.
“No child. Mom is fine, just missed you too much.” It was impossible for Xin Er to be honest that she was suffering from a lung disease to this degree.
“Mother please take care of your health. I'm very good here no need to worry.”
“O, yes. I'll tell you the good news about your brother Li Mei. Big master allowed her to return to Hongkong and will match her with the right man.” It was indeed the purpose of Xin Er contacting her son. With Liang Jia's permission, he wanted to be the first to deliver this happy news.
What kind of successive good news did Xiao Jun receive today. Lau confirmed the good state of his two brothers, then now Xin Er relayed the wedding plans. He could not understand why Li San
it had no heart it could agree to the return of her brother. But he felt relieved, at least someone could replace him keeping Xin Er for a while.
“I definitely attended the wedding of brother.”

“Camera rolling and ACTION!”
Studio with lighting and nuanced settings in the 80s became the location of Weini shooting. He used horses to challenge his opponent. Very serious mimicry and hanfu costume dressing is very supportive
his character is a kung fu fighter. Weini faced an opponent of a man of stout stature and had comparable matchmaking abilities. Even though this was just shooting and they had done the practice before taking, Weini still felt this was a tense fight.
“Arrghhh...” The man attacked Weini from behind until he fell down.
“Isn't this just acting, why are you expending energy in real?” Weini dodged for a follow-up attack. He managed to pull off a fist that almost hit the stomach.
“You must be professional even if only acting.” The man cynically replied to Weini. He continues to intensify the attack.
Weini seemed overwhelmed dodging, he could have attacked back but is it not excessive? This is just an advertising shoot.
“Kok talent is over acting huh? CUT CUT!!!”
Bams ended the strange scene before him. The expression of the two players was already out of the scenario, the victory was more prominent on the opposing side than Weini. The burly man still gave a barrage of attacks regardless of the director's cue. Their fights had even damaged the property around the studio.
“Aaarrghhhhh..” Weini fell due to dodging a kick from the right side. The entire crew immediately ran to mediate in this real fight.
What the hell's going on?
