The Dream (Pursuing Dreams)
Chapter 10 - The first mission

The judges explained the challenge this time with the theme of my homeland which explains the culture in Jogja. Many participants who complained a little about the theme this time included Zara. It turns out that Zara has prepared a paris dress to be displayed on the night of elimination. The slightly panicked Alexa spoke to Louis as to whether she already had plans to make clothes for him. Louis, who is a genius fashion designer, also told Alexa not to panic too much. Zara was a little envious and annoyed. Zara invites Riri to leave Alexa.

"Eh, Zara why? not as usual" muttered Alexa looking towards Zara who was already far away.

When Alexa was looking at Zara, suddenly a man approached Louis and Alexa.

"Hi, are you Alexa and Louis?" ask the man

Alexa looked at the man.

"Yes, who are you?" ask Alexa about the man.

"Include me Jerry, I'll help you both in making profile videos! do you already have a concept for your profile video?" said Jerry

"Oh, hello jerry hello! for the concept, " said Alexa turned towards Louis.

Louis shook Jerry's hand

"Can we do it at Borobudur temple?" said Louis

"Eh, do you have a shadow?"ask Alexa to Louis

"Borobudur?" said Jerry

Jerry pulled out his phone and opened the map.

"But, it's a long way from the city, and I'm not sure if we'll get a good picture there!" jerry looked at Louis

"But, only there is a place that really fits the theme this time!" said Louis

"Alright, if you force. Maybe we will take pictures in the afternoon because usually the temple will be more beautiful in the afternoon!"said Jerry

Alexa also nodded .

"Well, thank you for thinking it all over!" louis told Ryan

"Okay, I'll see you tomorrow afternoon" Jerry said farewell

Jerry went and approached the other crew. Alexa looked towards louis who was having a sly smile and glittering eyes.

"Why smile like that? what is he thinking!" Alexa muttered looking at Louis' expression

Louis looked at Alexa.

"You must be confused as to why I'm smiling!" louis said, bowing his body

"Yes, you know what?" alexa looked at Louis' face very close to his

"Hmm. You realize that I'm buying time so we still have plenty of time to make clothes!" louis looked at Alexa and smiled

Alexa shook her head

"Alexa.. Alexa.You're too innocent to be my partner, but I like it!" louis said, rubbing Alexa's head

Somehow Alexa's heart was racing when Louis rubbed Alexa's head. Alexa's cheeks were hot so it made her misbehave. Louis stretched his body and raised his glasses when they were chatting suddenly someone patted Alexa on the shoulder. Alexa looked back and it was the Queen.

"Well, there's a jury coming for me!" alexa was a little panicked

"So you're the one whose name is Alexa!"The Queen said while looking at Alexa

"eh, H.hello asked for his guidance during the competition" said Alexa who was a little nervous

"You are indeed smart to bring Louis to this race, I am sure you will qualify for this round!even so, this race is also seen in your performance, so you should not be too dependent on your partner, yes! " the Queen said, looking at Louis.

"Hmm. actually he wants to praise me or insult me anyway!" muttered Alexa

Alexa who wanted to comment was looking at Louis who shook his head.Signing, if Alexa should not say anything to the Queen.

"Louis is right, I have to be patient with this one jury!" muttered Alexa

As the three of them were talking suddenly a male voice sounded while approaching them.

"The car has arrived. Come on, Queen when we go!" the man told the Queen to leave immediately

Alexa also looked back.the burden was right, the man was Ryan ex-lover.Ryan who approached the Queen began to stop. Ryan was surprised to see Alexa next to the Queen.

"Alexa" murmured Ryan was surprised to see Alexa

The queen looked back and looked at him in surprise.

"Ryan, what's wrong with you?" the Queen asked as she watched Ryan fall silent.

Ryan woke up and saw the Queen.he immediately approached the Queen.

"Ah, no. What are you doing here, queen!" ryan stood next to the Queen

"Oh, I'm greeting Louis" said the Queen

"Louis? Kei kakanya?" ask Ryan

The queen nodded.Ryan looked at Alexa.

"Oh, yes, this is Alexa! Partner Louis." said the Queen, introducing Alexa to Ryan.

Ryan and Alexa met each other. Ryan told the Queen to leave immediately.

"Come on, the car's ready" Ryan told the Queen

"Okay, if that's what we say first! see you on elimination night, Louis..Alexa" said the Queen with a smile

Alexa is smiling. The Queen took Ryan's hand and left spoiled.Alexa who saw the Queen's attitude was surprised.

"Huh, are they dating?" alexa muttered to see the Queen and Ryan leaving

"What, the Queen knows if Ryan and I ever had a relationship?" muttered Alexa

When Alexa was still wondering what really happened, Ryan suddenly turned to Alexa and nodded with a smile.

"Huh.it seems like this competition is not as fun as I imagined!" muttered Alexa while sighing

Louis, who had seen Alexa's expression, understood what was going on. Louis walked over to Alexa.

"Are you okay?" ask Louis to Alexa

"I don't accept, what the fuck is that woman mocking me. she thought I escaped just because I got a partner like this Louis, even though she hadn't seen my performance at the audition" said Alexa who was very upset.

Louis also rubbed the back of Alexa as hinted to remain patient in the face of this race. Alexa also sighed and invited Louis to immediately go to the hotel that had been prepared by the committee.

"Yes, let's go back to the hotel. I'm tired of sleeping, want to eat and want to take a shower" said Alexa

Louis nodded.they immediately ordered a taxi to the hotel.but on the way Louis whispered a taxi driver to stop by Malioboro. Alexa who has never been to Jogja was not know if they were in Malioboro.

"Eh.. Where are we? you didn't kidnap me to some weird place, did you?" ask Alexa to Louis

Louis laughed softly, he stood in front of Alexa and put his finger on Alexa's forehead.

"Basic perverted brain." said Louis while pushing Alexa's forehead slowly.

Alexa's cheeks were flushed to hold the shame.Louis also sighed

"How does a place like this think you're such a weird place?" ask Louis and look at Alexa

"Yes, actually this place has a pleasant aura!" alexa told Louis

"That's you know. We are in Malioboro, a street that is a favorite center of tourists!" louis said, explaining to Alexa

"Oh, have you been here? what the hell are we doing here?" ask Alexa

Louis who was anxious with the Alexa question was a little down and held Alexa's shoulders and then brought her face closer to Alexa's face.

"Look, this is beautiful Miss Alexa.. I told you, before we go to the hotel I'd like to stop by here to buy some clothes to wear for elimination night & for your profile video tomorrow!" louis told Alexa

Alexa who did not focus on Louis' speech was only focused on seeing the face of Louis who was very close to his face.
