Perfect Idol
Self-conscious

Tirta still holds Hira's hand to her car. Tirta opened the door and asked Hira to come inside. Then Tirta came in and sat in the driver's seat.

"Lo's all right, Ra?" tanya Tirta was worried.

"Gua is okay, Ta," Hira replied with a smile.

Tirta held onto Hira's wet hair. Tirta's hands felt sticky while holding them. Hira also rejected Tirta's hand because he felt uncomfortable with his treatment.

"Why, Ra?" Tirta scrunched her forehead while looking at Hira.

"There's no more gossip about us, Ta," Hira said.

Tirta only smiled slightly laughing upon hearing the statement from Hira.

"The glass of the cave is sleek, anyways here is quiet, so no one sees" said Tirta.

Hira just fell silent because she was confused about what to answer.

Seeing Hira who was just speechless, Tirta also pulled out a wet tissue on the dashboard of his car. Tirta took out a strand of wet tissue and gently rubbed Hira's sticky face.

Hira just froze while staring at Tirta who was focusing on wiping part of his forehead.

"Not even dumb? Don't you want to sleep by yourself?" tirta asked with a deep smile.

Hira immediately took the wet tissue from Tirta's hand and wiped his own face.

Tirta starts the engine of his car and takes Hira somewhere.

In the middle of the journey Hira was curious, where Tirta would take him.

"Where are we going, Ta?" ask Hira curiously.

"Udah come," replied Tirta, smiling at Hira.

After about ten minutes of travel, they finally arrived at the parking lot of a fairly large boutique. From the appearance of the building it also looks that it is a famous boutique. Before going down, Tirta put on his mask and hat first.

"Well we go down" Tirta asked.

Hira just complies and goes down. Hira followed Tirta from behind and while looking around the parking lot which was overgrown with red ashoka flowers arranged in such a way.

Bruk!

Hira accidentally hit the back of Tirta because he did not focus on looking forward.

"Why, Ra?" tirta asked as she turned towards Hira.

"He-he, no, just amazed as the parking lot planted with flowers," said Hira.

Tirta just smiled behind her mask.

***

They both went into the boutique. Just as they had entered, there was a beautiful woman over 30 years old smiling towards the two of them.

"Who are you?" the woman asked Tirta with a smile.

"ah! It's me, brother. My brother still knows me even though I wear a mask and a hat" said Tirta.

"Yes obviously dong, how many years we have known, Dek. My brother didn't know you" said the woman.

"Why is your friend dizzy hair, Dek?" A look of astonishment on the woman.

"Later on" replied Tirta.

Hira just kept quiet because confused about what to say. He just smiled at the beautiful woman he had just seen.

"Sister, I'm up, yeah, you know what Tirta wants?"

The woman just nodded with a smile.

The beautiful woman named Gabriela, she is the older cousin of Tirta who is a young designer. She opened her boutique five years ago when she was 27. Tirta was very close to Gabriela since she was a child, so whatever she was going through and feeling was always told to her cousin's sister.

***

Tirta invites Hira to a fairly large room on the top floor of the boutique. The room is arguably a large room with a balcony that presents a frenzied view of Jakarta.

"Mandi, gih."

Tirta asked Hira to clean her body because it was sticky with sweet tea water doused by one of Tirta's fanatical girl.

Hira just kept quiet and did not answer.

Tirta also sighed, because Hira was surprised to not say much.

"Okay, the cave will come down and you take a bath, there will be clothes that have been prepared on the mattress," said Tirta.

"Hm .. okay," Hira responded briefly.

***

Tirta headed for Gabriela's study downstairs. It looks like Gabriela is sitting while working on something on her laptop.

"Why, Brother?" tirta asked with a smile.

"You're just looking!" shouted Gabriela in shock.

"He-he, Gab's sister can be shocked too" Tirta said.

Gabriela stopped using her laptop and closed it. Tirta was sitting on a sofa patterned in black and white lines in the room.

"So she's the girl? What's name?" ask Gabriela.

"Hira," Tirta replied briefly while smiling at Gabriela.

"Do you want the same title as the stars?" Gabriela asked as she walked closer to Tirta.

"Sir, Brother," Tirta replied with a flat tone coming out of his mouth.

Gabriela just shook her head looking at Tirta's reaction which was so flat. He knew very well that Tirta really liked Hira. But he did not want to fight with his own friend.

"You never invite anyone here let alone a girl" said Gabriela.

"I'll never pick up on my friends, brother."

Gabriela simply smiled hearing the reaction from Tirta. "Yes but it's all guys, Ta."

"You don't have any activities at the agency?" ask Gabriela.

"Today is just regular practice, but tomorrow is a bit busy because we want to release a new single" Tirta replied.

***

Meanwhile, Hira had finished bathing and changed clothes. He also wanted to go out to meet Tirta. Just as he stepped his foot towards the door, there was already a knock from outside.

Wh-tok-tok!

Hira rushed towards the door and opened the door. Just opening the door, Hira was shocked by someone standing in front of her with a smile.

"How come you're here?" ask Hira wonder.

"So Tirta called me, she said you were with her at the boutique, Brother Gab," the star replied.

Hira just smiled as she revealed her white teeth.

"Where do you want to go?"

"Maybe in the study, Gab's sister."

The star took Hira's hand to the bottom floor where Tirta and Gabriela were.

***

In Gabriela's study.

The star greeted Gabriela who was chatting with Tirta.

"Hello, Brother Gab," said the Star.

"Hello, Star," said Gabriela.

Tirta was focused on the hands of Bintang and Hira who clasped each other tightly. Tirta may feel jealous but she also realizes that she is no one.

"You want to be okay first" said Tirta.

Because of hearing Tirta's words, finally Bintang and Hira immediately say goodbye.

***

Tirta just sat pensively on that soft sofa. Gabriela, who had started her job, stopped her job.

"You don't want to compete with the stars?"

"I'm not going to mrsel, brother. Love does not have to be and cannot be forced. As long as the people we like or love are happy, that's enough" Tirta replied.

Gabriela smiled at Tirta's reply. "It turns out, my little brother is an adult."

Tirta only laughed crisply when she heard the words from Gabriela.
