The Perfectionist 2: Aerospace
Optimists

Tia's phone went off once because of a news update notification from one of the online news channels on her phone. Tia glanced at the cell phone as she chewed her food in the office cafeteria.

Newcomer artist Yongki is listed as a singer on Subono's music label, replacing Dirgantara?? inward Tia read the news headline that was plastered on her phone screen, her brows furrowed and her face looked very serious reading the news. He opened the news channel.

His eyes focused on reading each line of writing that was plastered to completion, so that the lunch ritual in his break should be delayed for a moment.

"Hey, why is Ti so serious about her face? What news is there?" ask the new one coming.

Tia turned, surprised.

"Eh, Mas Firm? Here, there is news Mas Igan. He said his position was replaced with a new singer whose name is Yongki." said Tia.

"Oh ..." said Teguh, cuey while sitting next to Tia. He is not interested in news about artists, although Igan is the only son of the owner of the company where he works.

Tia looked back at her phone screen to continue reading in the last line. Shortly thereafter, a notification from a similar news channel appeared again but with a sad news headline.

Not thinking long, Tia immediately opened the news channel. His eyes widened, his heart beating faster as he read it.

The sad news came from a newcomer artist, Yongki Fernandez. Beloved mother, Maya Puspita died of a heart attack early this morning. Yongki was accompanied by Subono as the owner of the label where Yongki had just joined, noting that the deceased would be buried later this afternoon.

"That means, my dream was last night ...??" mumble Tia.

He turned his head toward Tia, "Why, Ti?" ask, astonished.

"I-this, Mom. This news ..." said Tia, stuttering while showing the news that is still plastered on the screen of her phone.

Hold Tia's phone and read the news. His gaze focused on reviewing the sentence by sentence listed until it was finished.

Firmly returning Tia's phone, then he looked at his partner curiously.

"That's ... You know them, Ti? How do you see such shock?" ask Firmly.

"I met them last night and had a chat, Mas." said Tia in a slightly vibrating voice.

"Meet them? I mean ... the artist is like his mother?"

Tia nodded, "Yes, I met Yongki with Bu Maya, her mother." said Tia with a bright look, like she was imagining the meeting.

"You ... is there a sodara relationship?"

Tia shook her head, she tried to refrain from discussing her family's past which had been chaotic due to Maya's actions.

"It's just a coincidence that I get to know him" said Tia.

"Oh, what's so good about thinking? Mending you finish the lunch, before the break time bablas lho!" teguh Reprimand.

"Euh, yeah. Lha Mas Teguh too, how do you want to eat?"

"Yes .. was the time to go out to lunch to be taught Jeni to HRD."

Tia rounded her eyes, "Ngapain?"

Just smiling meaningfully.

"Ih ... Mas Teguh, asked how to grin doang? What happened to HRD?"

"Udah .. don't kepo, later you know. Eat yuk? My food comes too."

Tia pouted, but continued eating. Firmly glanced at his partner then smiled.

After work ...

"So, don't you know if Bu Maya died yet?" tia chirps on the brother who is sipping coffee, as a provision of night duty.

Hendra almost choked on hearing Tia's words, he turned to look at the sister with an annoyed look.

"You, Deck! Brother almost sprained to know." Hendra's nag.

Tia grimaced, "Sori ... sori ...!!" tia said, crybaby.

"Hmmm...Who do you say he died?" ask Hendra.

Hendra's forehead shriveled, "Get in to the news of everything? Who is he?" asked Hendra, sneering.

"Ish, Hendra's sister nih nyinyir really? The man is dead, brother!" reproof Tia.

Hendra cuek alone while lifting a glass, then back sipping coffee is still hot.

"Yongki is already an artist, especially now he is arranged with the record company to replace Mas Igan" said Tia.

"Who said?" ask Hendra, cuek.

"News words. I read the news on the online channel this afternoon."

"Ah, you mostly read celebrity news. It could be a hoax, just to lift the name of his son Maya that." said Hendra.

"Yes .. I don't know what the purpose is, just .. if really, I'm the same as Mas Igan."

Hendra looked at the younger brother who looked pensive, as Igan was replaced by Yongki at the bona fide record company that had raised his name.

"You ... have a crush on Mas Igan huh, Dek?" ask Hendra, get up.

Tia's face suddenly blushed, she could not hide the ambush shame.

"Hayo .. Do you really like Mas Igan?" Hendra increasingly mocked his sister.

"Hmmm .. I ngefans Kak same Mas Igan, reasonable right?" sahut Tia with a blush.

Hendra laughed, "But if you see him, you're not just a Dek. You are ..." said Hendra.

"Sstt .. it's ah, Brother. Why are you cheating on me anyway?" tia protest, sulking.

Hendra laughed contentedly seeing his sister advancing her lips, pouting.

Meanwhile, at the Erlangga residence, Igan was in a serious conversation with Jio, the manager, by telephone.

"Gan, the news about Om Bono's decision to remove you from his label really?" ask Jio.

"Gue was sure he was, he told me himself at the time. He said he wanted to break my contract." said Igan.

"But it can't be that dong!"

"Make people money all you can, bro! Moreover, I just inget, in the contract there is a statement if the label can just mutusin a one-sided contract if I feel from their side ngerugiin." said Igan.

"Lha did you know what made them?"

Igan took a deep breath, then exhaled slowly. He tried to maintain his sanity so as not to be provoked by emotions remembering what was happening to him.

"Bro, you're still beating me up right?" jio Tegur.

"Euh, yeah I'm still horrified. Hmmm .. I really do not feel guilty about anyone, but maybe because my relationship with Ilona is not good, so Om Bono does not accept and try to make my career exciting."

"Not really if that's the way, he can't mix personal problems as well as professionalism!"

"Udah is Bro. I'm sure my career can still work even though I have to leave the label Om Bono."

"But your good name is the bet, Gan!"

"Yes, I know. But are the other label owners so stupid as to judge me from one side? No, Bro!"

"Ah, ngeyel the child! I think we should make clarification in front of the media, let everything be clear."

"I'm okay!"

"Okay, shall we set the time?"

"Ready!"

The phone call ended. Igan sat hugging his knees on the balcony of his room while staring at the sky that looked sad without the presence of flickering stars.
