The Dream (Pursuing Dreams)
Chapter 11 - Beautiful her, Malioboro

When Alexa, Louis and the Queen were talking, suddenly a man approached the three of them. Alexa, who was familiar with the man's voice, looked back. The man's guess is Ryan. Ryan who saw Alexa was surprised then stopped for a moment and fell silent. The queen looked back and saw Ryan speechless. The Queen calls Ryan and introduces Louis and Alexa to Ryan. After meeting Ryan, he took the Queen away. The Queen also shares a goodbye with Alexa and Louis. The Queen held Ryan's hand.

Alexa who saw it was immediately shocked and upset

"I don't accept it, what the fuck is that woman mocking me. she thought I escaped just because my genius partner, 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, want to take a bath" 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 doesn't have a pleasant aura!" alexa told Louis

"That's you know. We are in Malioboro. a road that became 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. Last afternoon I told you, before going to the hotel we stopped by here to buy clothes to wear for elimination night after 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.

"Ah.it's a good kebaya! let's go there" Louis said, holding Alexa's hand.

Louis who saw a good kebaya on display one of the stores was immediately grasped Alexa's hand and walked to the store. After that they stood right in one of the shops. Louis smiled and went into the shop.

*In the store

Louis held one of the clothes on display in the store.Louis also explained to Alexa.

"This is a kebaya, a customary clothing used by women for superiors while his subordinates usually use batik or rake" said Louis who explained about the kebaya on Alexa

"Hmm.. then? don't tell me I have to wear a kebaya?" Alexa looked towards Louis

Louis just nodded.

"Why should I go?" ask Alexa who disagrees

"Because, kebaya has a philosophy of obedience, subtlety and like the disposition of women who have a soft heart and indirectly, it describes the character of the people of Jogja" said Louis

Louis looked at the kebaya clothes in the store and took two kebaya clothes and showed Alexa.

"Now I want to know how to judge your fashion sense.between these two which one do I want to modify and you wear tomorrow afternoon? " said Louis while holding two clothes

"modif?" muttered Alexa

Alexa was silent.

"It turns out he's a real genius.I just don't think about getting there!" alexa muttered at Louis who was smiling

"So I want to modify the existing kebaya" Louis said with a smile

"But it can? isn't that the same as cheating!" says Alexa

Louis shook his head.

"No, you're wrong. Remember our assignment ? we're just told to make a profile video instead of making new clothes. You've now determined the clothes." Louis said

"I'll just pick this pink fanta shirt!" said Alexa while taking the kebaya shirt

"hmm. Your choice is great!" louis praised Alexa

"So have I got a good image in your eyes?" ask Alexa

Louis rubbed Alexa's head while giving a thumbs up.

"It seems like I have an idea to modify this shirt" Louis said excitedly

"It looks like you're excited right now" Alexa said of Louis

Louis was smiling.

"You go home now, so you can go straight to this kebaya" Alexa said

"Going home? Do you want to take a short walk while enjoying the beautiful atmosphere of the night in Malioboro?" said Louis

"Hmm.. sightseeing?" alexa's

"Honey, after the night of elimination maybe we go straight back to Jakarta or go to another city?" said Louis

"Hm.. Alright if you force" said Alexa with a smile

"Alright, I'm going to the cashier first to pay for this kebaya!" louis said as he walked to the cashier

After paying, Louis and Alexa left the store. They did not expect that Zara was hiding behind him while looking at all the events inside the store.

"I won't lose to you, Alexa!" zara said while looking at Alexa who left

Riri who was told to buy him a drink first came back and approached Zara.

"This is the drink!" riri said while giving Zara a drink

Zara took her and invited Riri to enter the store that was entered by Alexa and Louis. While Alexa who felt there was someone behind her was also looking back. When he looked, but there was no one. Louis patted Alexa on the shoulder

"Are you okay?" ask Louis to Alexa

"Ah, not just my feelings! yes, let's continue the path." said Alexa while holding Louis' hand.

Alexa and Louis also take a walk along Malioboro.they buy food, clothes, bags and ride delman to get around Malioboro.
