OPEN YOUR MASK, PRINCESS!
Episode 534 of the SELF-DEPUR
“He's coming! He's coming!” Shouted a reporter who immediately made all reporters in the room put the camera towards the door. For the sake of a very special star, news hunters are willing to come two hours early to get the right position to take pictures.
The boisterous atmosphere was instantly silent without command, all feeling tense and preparing to capture the moment of entry of the great star who had changed face as best as possible. No matter should be crammed or take with any angle, as long as the results are satisfactory. The camera shots began to dazzle, all the attention was on the pair of legs that stepped in.
Weini walked gracefully, leading the front row when stepping on the red carpet that had been provided. He is the main star of this film, and it should have received the most attention. The dress she wore, as well as the crown given by Dina, really displays the figure of Weini who is indeed a princess in her country. But what he likes about this place is, there is no formal respect like what is done in his residence. All who saw him actually uphold the position of the body, fixated with a pair of eyes that opened wide to look at the princess who was full of charm.
“Weini.. wave hands to camera.” Pinta is a cameraman who has yet to adapt to Weini's real name. His shout was successful in making Dina glare unhappily towards him.
“Not polite, his name is not Weini. We can't call that name anymore.” Said one of his colleagues who elbowed the journalist's arm deliberately in order to realize his mistake.
Weini did not bother, he could understand those who were not used to it. He also complied with the reporter's request by waving his hand and facing to various sides so that other journalists could take the best side. Dina who was observing from a distance looked anxious, but she believed that Weini could handle it on her own.
Producers and film directors who had sat on the podium also stood up, stunned to see firsthand the elegance of Weini who seemed to be reborn. I could hardly believe that the artist she was holding for this film was so special and full of stunning beauty. Weini nodded respectfully as she was about to occupy the place reserved for her, the smile she gave just awkwardly made a few pairs of eyes still stunned.
Stevan and Grace walk after Weini, enthusiastic reporters to them clearly not as good as Weini. Although the reporters also kept many questions about Stevan, but on this occasion, Weinilah was the most in the spotlight.
“Can we start the show?” stevan asks who deliberately made people aware around him that they were bothering Weini too much with the look in their eyes.
The moderator who felt shunned was soft-spoken, as well as the film's higher-ups who sat next to Weini. They had to turn their eyes to Weini and try to be ordinary even though it was difficult. Like a dream, Weini was willing to fulfill their request to appear in public, completing the rest of his responsibilities. Though they have been pessimistic with their snapping, and understand that Weini's position now is certainly very easy for him to miss. But Weini's responsible attitude is a plus that adds to their admiration for the ruling lady.
The show started smoothly, Weini seemed to enjoy it despite being aware that the dozens of pairs of eyes were constantly looking for an opportunity to glance at him. And then came the session most anticipated by journalists, the moment where Weini had to say a word or two about the film he starred in. All recorded clearly, not wanting to be missed in the slightest. Weini's voice did not change, her speech was the same. The real difference was clearly just his face. The rest he remains a Weini who is warm and friendly to anyone.
“This film is very special to me, because I can express myself. Not heavy played...” Weini continued his opinion despite knowing that was not what the reporters were waiting for. Until we arrive at the discussion about the things Weini wants to say in front of them.
“I am very grateful to the producer, the director who has entrusted me. And also to my press friends, my fans out there. Without you, Weini's name isn't who.
All back in silence, the tension in the room felt real. Those who are loyal listeners, as can guess what Weini wants to convey at this time is not pleasant news.
“I grew up in this world, thanks to your trust as well, I can be just like now. What starts well, I want to end in a good way. Thank you for everything, this is my last piece of work in the entertainment world. Sorry if there have been mistakes that offended you.” Weini stopped talking, arranged her heart calmly then stood up.
“I beg to withdraw from the world of entertainment.” Said Weini who finally said what he wanted to say since. The girl bowed her body, paid her respects and apologized to various sides including to the higher-ups who sat parallel to her.
A moment of silence, yet Stevan with his initiative immediately clapped and stood up. Giving the highest appreciation to Weini who chose to resign in an honorable way, without sensation and without hiding attitude. Weini turned to Stevan, then got a sweet smile from the man who had become her brother. Unexpectedly, Stevan's attitude was followed by the higher-ups who also stood up and gave applause. The silence of the large room was solved by the sound of applause from all who were there. The press colleagues took their hats off to Weini, showing their admiration for the respectable girl.
“Thank you.” Say Weini softly with a pair of teary eyes.

Xiao Jun stood up and leaned against the whitewashed wall, the room Dina had arranged for him to be indirectly involved with Weini's activities this time around. Since then Dina has been busy making video calls with the young boss, showing him how the event is going. Xiao Jun also smiled happily to see the courage Weini say goodbye to the profession he had been in. The excitement that at once made Xiao Jun feel strong to survive in this secluded room. Fortunately, the place is comfortable and certainly safe.
“Master why?” Dina was not aware that her nostrils that had been highlighted made her master shocked, she asked innocently.
Xiao Jun shook his head, trying to calm himself down. “What's wrong, how's Dina? Can I get out?” xiao Jun asked enthusiastically.
Dina did not believe that her master was fine, let alone that the man's face looked unconvincing, but yes that was it. Dina won't extend it anymore. “In the meantime sir, wait for the next aba yes.”
Xiao Jun nodded in understanding, preparing to surprise Weini and hoping to make her happy. “Yes, I wait! Please make sure everything goes according to plan. Dina... I count on you.” Xiao Jun muttered meaningfully.
Dina who got the mandate instantly nodded her spirits, she would never disappoint anyone who had already put her trust in him. “Siap mr.”
❤️❤️❤️
No matter how good an event will come to its end. The once crowded and crowded ballroom began to disperse, and Weini was still left in there. Intentionally because Dina asked for strict security and wanted to ensure that her artist was not held by journalists who were discouraged at the end of the event. The conditions in the room were completely sterilized. Dina was sure that there would be no help and it was safe for her master to appear.
“Beres sir. Please come.” Dina sent a voice note to Xiao Jun. Soon after that he ran over to Weini who was engrossed with Grace.
“Kak, can you come out right?” Weini asked when she saw Dina was shocked by him.
Dina shook her head quickly, “Ng soon miss, the car is again prepared so that miss goes directly in just out.” Kilah Dina created a little reason, but since then the car is ready.
Stevan grabs Grace gently, deliberately to separate her from Weini. From the look of Dina's face can be read clearly there are other motives that he planned. Stevan begins to understand Dina's unexpected workings, there must be another special mission from Xiao Jun for her.
“Oh yes already, set aja kak.” Weini was engrossed in talking to Grace again until she was unaware of the arrival of someone whose steps were barely audible.
When Weini turned to her side, she gasped to see Xiao Jun's real smile. “Jun, since when did you come?” weini asked half-believed that her lover would attend even though he had asked to stay in the office.
“Since you got here. I keep seeing you from a distance. We're safe, right? Hmm... I want to take you home when it's safe.” The joking Xiao Jun who was tipped Weini elbowed his arms in dismay.
Weini suspects Dina who is as comfortable as a smile just seeing the intimacy of her two employers. “This must have been Dina's sister, right?”
Dina chuckles, “Sorry miss, two out my boss so sorry if sometimes my heart branches.”
They also went out together to their respective cars, which Weini certainly did not mind stepping out by hand with Xiao Jun. The man was desperate to come for her, and Weini could only enjoy this togetherness with an open heart.
❤️❤️❤️
