SUN (My Spring)
THE SUN 14
Emira checked her phone, it seems she was daydreaming too long until she realized that her phone was ringing since then.
“How long ago, Em?” Shouted someone who was calling him.
“Sorry, I didn't know anyone called”
“What is the news that is circulating is true?. You really became SUN's assistant?” Ask the caller who is none other than Emira's friend while still working as a tour guide.
“Iy..iya”.
“Since when?. Why didn't you ever tell me?”
“You should have asked for my news, not even asked for jobs” Protest Emira.
“I don't want to make small talk, you must be okay too. Now, quickly explain about the news that is currently circulating!”
“Actually, what news do you mean?” Emira is still confused by her friend's statement.
“Do you still don't know?”
“I haven't seen the news this morning”
“This” Friend Emira sent an article that is currently trending.
“What is this???. How can there be news like this?” Emira was stunned to see a lot of news regarding her. Possessive assistant SUN, attention seeking assistant, SUN and assistant, and many more negative news.
“News is a lie, right?” Emira's friend assured.
“Of course. I'm at work, I'll call again” Emira ended the phone call because I don't want to discuss the news about her.
Emira again saw the members who were practicing for the music awards show that will be held tomorrow. But his gaze was blank, his mind drifting out of nowhere.
‘I didn't expect to be hated by a lot of people like this. Apparently, they are very influential’ Monologue Emira.
“Do you still think about the news?” Mr. Arsel's voice distracts Emira.
“Why do they have the heart to make news that is not true?” Asked Emira innocently.
“Such things are common, you don't have to think about it!”
Emira was silent, not commenting on Mr. Arsel's statement.
“Such news will disappear by itself, you should get used to it. We must have the mentality of steel to survive in this world. You're a strong and brave boy, something like this won't make you give up, will you?” Mr. Arsel tried to convince Emira.
“You're right. Because it has come so far, then I will not waver” replied Emira with full confidence.
“What are you guys talking about?” Tanya Zhi who was now sitting with her legs stretched out, looked very tired.
“This” Emira provides mineral water and towels to wipe away sweat.
“Thank you” Zhi downed her mineral water.
Shortly thereafter, the other members joined in. They were exhausted from training since morning.
“After this, I will take you somewhere” Mr. Arsel told Emira.
“Where?”
“I want to buy you something”
“What is for me no?” Chan asked Mr. Arsel.
“You are already rich, it is no longer worth asking for something from me” Mr. Arsel's statement made Chan and the other members laugh.
“Regarding the news earlier, my team will delete it immediately. And one more thing, your phone number must be replaced, because it could be that your friends spread it to the media or 'My Spring' ” Terang Pak Arsel and Emira agreed. What's more now, his friend already knows that he became the assistant of SUN.
“You don't need to think about the news, the entertainment world is cruel” Zhi smiled bitterly.
Among other members, Zhi was the youngest when he joined SUN. He has felt the cruelty of the world that has raised his name since his teenage years.
“I do not understand the media that only attach importance to profits without thinking about the feelings of the person being reported. Are they created without a heart or brain?. Or even without both” Ez's speech was very sharp, making Emira surprised. But what he said has a point.
“Sometimes, the brain and heart are not always present in the human being” Khai murmured who now made his two hands as a pillow and slowly began to close his eyes.
“Pick what you like” Tell Mr. Arsel, after they enter one of the boutiques.
This was the first time Emira had come to such a luxurious boutique. He was confused what to buy.
‘Priceful once’ Emira again put the dress she was holding.
‘I can't buy the items that are here, everything is expensive. In fact, my salary a month only able to buy one dress only.’ Monologue Emira.
“Have you found a dress you like?” Ask Mr. Arsel.
“It seems, nothing suits me. Better, we'll just go home”
“What are you talking about?. You have to buy something!” Tell Mr. Arsel.
“Ta..but the price is very expensive” Emira lowered her head, unable to look at Mr. Arsel who was preparing to nag him.
“Tomorrow you will meet many famous artists, of course I will not let you perform as usual. SUN will be an icon on the show, and you will certainly be highlighted by the camera. I have to make you perform optimally.”
“You have helped so often, I can no longer accept this all” Emira felt bad if Mr. Arsel bought her an expensive item.
“How many times have I said, I've thought of you like my own daughter. Don't think about the price” Light Mr. Arsel, then ask for help from one of the employees to help Emira choose a dress, shoes, and also a bag, because Emira looks confused.
“Come, we eat before we go home. I've been hungry” Take Mr. Arsel after Emira got the goods, then he walked ahead of Emira.
‘Padah, I would rather be given money than these expensive items. But, this is the first luxury item I have’ Emira looked at some paper bag that is now in his hands, then walked quickly after Mr. Arsel.
.
.
“What do you want to eat?” Ask Mr. Arsel after they were in the cafe with a classic feel.
The walls of the cafe look original, still using red brick without paint, chairs and tables are made of wood painted in a deep brown color, and the, and quite a lot of wall hangings depicting traditional food and drink from various regions.
“I order fried rice and mineral water course” Disconnect Emira after seeing the menu book and hand it to the waiter who is waiting.
“I have prepared a make-up artist for you tomorrow” Pak Arsel opened a chat while waiting for their order to come.
“You don't have to do that. I can do it myself, although not too proficient” Emira seems embarrassed to admit that he can not apply makeup expertly, but the treatment of Mr. Arsel makes it even more unpleasant.
“If you refuse, you have to indemnify because I have paid the rent” Threatened Mr. Arsel.
“Do you know what the rental price is?”
Emira shook her head in response to Mr. Arsel's question.
“A quarter of your salary” Whisper Mr. Arsel.
“Hah...weak it?”
“Iya. You certainly don't want to pay for the compensation, do you?” Mr. Arsel made Emira unable to refuse his will.
“You have to display maximum tomorrow!” Resolute Mr. Arsel.
“Actually, what kind of event will I come to until you like this?”
“You can see tomorrow. To be sure, I don't want anyone to underestimate you.”
“Thank you, you always help me”
“Don't thank me constantly, I didn't do anything big”
‘In fact, I thank you for being present in my life. I feel like rediscovering my little daughter’ muttered Mr. Arsel slowly without being heard by Emira. His eyes condensed considering the events of the past.
