The Goddess of Don Pablo
CHAPTER 2: FIRST IMPRESSION...

Metro La Queen Mall is an elite mall in the Bellarose area, the area of the Millionaires spend their time just to coffee or watch. Many young couples are also making out in the corners of cafes lined up along the edge of the area.

Nina with burgundy hair was walking towards the cinema building inside the Metro La Queen building. An action drama genre film that was airing at that time, was one of the choices he chose. He followed the existing queue.

"One ticket, please." Nina told a female ticket keeper at the time.

"What movie is it for ? Action or comedy drama ? ask the cinema guard.

"This action drama that aired at 14:30" he said again. Shortly afterwards, the ticket keeper showed a sketch of the cinema room complete with a row of chairs and a number listed on a tablet.

"7D,please.." said Nina while pointing at a seat that read 7D right in the middle of the room. Just fit the distance with the theter screen.

"Well, Miss.ini the ticket "the woman replied to the ticket printout according to Nina's order. Nina again looked around the area of the cinema. He almost never went out of the house alone without a bodyguard during his life. This is one of the best things about enjoying his moment of freedom. He queued up to buy a popcorn coffee caramelo with a sprinkling of gold and the evocative sweet smell of coffee plus a medium-sized sugar diet soda drink was the right snack for Nina. Nina took out some GoldCreate sheets from her wallet. GoldCreate is a currency used in the area around the Atlantic Ocean, one of the islands of Wonder Island. One of the production materials for making this currency, not only gold of course.But also made of a mixture of maple and pine tree fiber that grows on islands around the southern Atlantic Ocean. The authenticity of their paper sheets has a special sign of a transverse line that is plated in pure gold and cannot be seen by the naked eye, can only be seen with a money detector. Their metal coins were plated in pure gold which glistened over the emblem of the Pine Tree with the prominent Southern GoldCreate inscription.

Nina sees the watch in her hand still 30 minutes away from the movie she ordered to start. He passed through a row of movie posters lined up as his eyes stared at a sofa located in one corner of the room. He sat there for 15 minutes. A handsome man with a smart face turned to the right and left looking for an empty bench. Unfortunately he did not find an empty bench except for the long sofa that Nina was sitting on alone.

"Excuse me, Kiss...Can I sit here ?" said the man. Nina glanced at the man from behind her sunglasses. A handsome man smiled in front of him.

"Yes, Please .." replied Nina briefly.

"Hm...I am Ray" replied the man as he thrust his hand. He tried to find a conversation to break the silence that occurred for a moment.

Nina put her glasses down. A little suspicious of this guy. But her handsome face was a common thing for Nina. He was used to facing playboy men like men in front of him. Nina did not answer the man.

"May acquaintance with you, Kiss.." asked the man again trying to find chat material as polite as possible and without further ado.

"Lucy.." answered Nina flatly. He never introduced himself to his real name. The usual thing he does every time he gets acquainted with new people especially in public places.

"Oh..Hey, Lucy. It's good to meet you.." The man answered with a gentle smile.

Nina simply turned to him to respond to the man's words. His coldness is a habit for outsiders.

"Hmm...kalo can tell, Lucy what movie did you watch ? I'm waiting for this movie to hit at 14:30. 'Love With Your Enemy'.. Well.hopefully not a disappointing movie.." the man seemed to be trying hard to open a chat with the girl next to him. However, it seemed that Nina was not interested in talking to the person who had just met her. He seemed to be indifferent and cold to the man before him.

" Hmm ..sorry, if I seem boring to you.I'm just trying to melt the atmosphere.." said the man seemed misbehaved.

"Oh.it's okay.i'm waiting for that movie, too.." answered Nina flatly. Shortly afterwards, a voice echoing around the theater building gave an announcement via a microphone that was lit .Tells her that the movie Nina is waiting for is coming soon. All spectators are allowed to enter the theater door 1.

"Hey.that's our movie.we can get in now.." said Ray tried to calm himself who was wrong with the girl in front of him.

Nina did not say a word. But he got up from the sofa and walked ahead of the man beside him. A subtle gesture of rejection for a more intimate closeness.

Ray, who seemed to understand the subtle repulsion, slowed down his path without many words. Let the girl go before him.

Just this time for Ray, he was ignored by a woman. Usually, any woman he knows first will respond well. Most of them will even exchange phone numbers. Not with Lucy. This girl to Ray looked very cold. To even make Ray feel clumsy and awkward.

Nina has been in theater 1. The atmosphere looks dim. An officer holding a small flashlight helped him find the 7D seat. He then sat in his chair. Luckily he got a spot right in the middle.Not too close but also not too far from the white screen in front of him.

Ray, who was right behind Lucy, the pseudonym Nina gave him, seemed to be offering his ticket that read 7F.

"The second seat of the woman sitting there is yes." said the theater officer while shining a flashlight on an empty chair. How surprised he was when he saw the girl he had just known. For Ray, either fate or coincidence is like an amazing thin thread. He just stumbled over a chair.

Ray sat in his chair. Lucy who had turned her head also looked surprised to see the man she had just known before she entered the theater room. Fortunately, he was blocked by a chair that was later known to be occupied by a middle-aged man. Until this girl felt a little calm.

Nina looked seriously at the movie that was playing in front of her. Not with Ray. For some reason, his eyes seemed unable to turn away from the face of the girl he just knew. A nose that looks flat, a chin that is convex with ideal full lips as if it is bewitching his eyes. The girl's face looked perfect to Ray. Especially when Nina took off her sunglasses. Ray couldn't seem to take his eyes off the girl. Either because of her beauty or she has fallen in love at first sight with Lucy. But only this time did his heart beat faster each time his eyes looked at the girl.

The movie 'Love With Your Enemy' turned out to be a tragic ending. The movie is about a girl named Elena ,the billionaire son of a corrupt businessman who married a police officer who arrested his father who had corruption billions of dollars state money and made him get a life imprisonment until his property was also exhausted remaining. Elena, who falls into poverty, is forced to accept the love of the policeman who has made her life languish.

Nina who looked sentimental watching the film seemed to shed her tears. He remembered his father's hard life. He could not imagine if his father was in the position of Elena's father. His heart must have been torn to shreds. It was impossible for him to remain silent if he were in Elena's position. Had he been in Elena's position he would have killed Jack the cop who had thrown his father in prison for life and made his life languish without a dollar in his hands.

Ray, who saw Lucy shed tears, silently watched her. He realized that Lucy was not as cold as she had just seen in her vision. This girl is so sensitive. He can even cry just because the movie is not real. His heart suddenly started beating fast again. He felt like he was really in love at first sight with this girl. A different love...

He is used to dating a lot of beautiful women. But what he sees and feels right now in Lucy, is not the usual thing he feels in the women he used to date.

Lucy put her sunglasses back on before the lights panned all corners of the room and re-lightened the room inside the theater. He didn't want anyone to see him shed tears. But, it seems that Lucy did not realize throughout the film, someone was observing the girl in the silence and darkness of the theater room which was only highlighted by light coming from the big screen that was playing the film in front of her.
