The Prince's Revenge
11: Meeting
“Egon!!!”
Not an hour had passed since the sunrise, a commotion rang out in the hallway of the apartment.
Egon scrunched his forehead as he found Mysha still dressed in sleep, standing waiting for Egon in front of his room. When he opened the door to ask her why she was visiting him, she first threw him a question.
“You did dinner yesterday with Lantern?”
“Iya.. You know him?”
“Of course!” Mysha replied in a shrill voice.
Without thinking, Egon grabbed Mysha's arm and pulled her into her room. He closed the door and looked back at the girl, asking for further explanation.
“You know, he's an up-and-coming artist! Not only beautiful, she is famous for being friendly and kind!”
“Ah, yes, she is indeed beautiful.but how do you know I had dinner with her?”
“You haven't seen your Instagram? Lantern uploaded a photo with you and her father!” Egon
“I haven't seen.”
“Hah... lucky that you can meet such a cool artist.. Is she also going to play a role with you?”
“I don't know if I can say this or not. but. yes. she will be the daughter of Anastasia.”.
“Allow! I think so too, because the color of her hair is the same as the picture of Anastasia in the novel! Does the real Anastasia look like her?”
“...” Egon. He looked at Mysha, as if there was something he wanted to say but it was hard to say. He let out a long sigh and then turned his gaze elsewhere while answering him in a small voice, “not.. he is not similar at all.”
Mysha was confused by Egon's movements. He was sure something was wrong with him at the time. “Sorry, I'm bothering you huh?” Ask.
“Not, I'm not even doing anything.”
“Is that? Then, what's up? Your face looks bad.”
“I'll tell you next time.”
“Hmm.. okay.. If that's what you want.” Although Mysha seemed dissatisfied with Egon's reply, she tried to appreciate Egon's wishes.
“Ah, yesterday, sorry, but you were waiting for me at the cafe right?” Egon tried to change the topic of his conversation with Mysha.
“It's okay, I was doing my job there...” again.
“And again?”
*“*It looks like the film's script maker ‘The Dark Prince’ is looking for a script editor, I was told by my supervisor yesterday. I was offered to come see how it works.”
“Then? You accepted it?”
“Iya.. After all, I was also curious, how do they do film adaptations of novel stories.” Mysha said with a smile.
“What will we meet later?”
“You mean when you film shot? Maybe, even if the chances are small. Because, it looks like I'll only be there 1-2 times.”
“Because it's not your job?”
“Iya, I'm not as good as other editors yet, so I'll just learn it”
“Sangkat ya.. it seems like something like this is indeed suitable for you.” Egon smiled. He then placed his palm on Mysha's head and ruffled her hair gently like stroking a puppy.
“Oh yes?”
“Of course. You always look excited and enthusiastic when working. Isn't not everyone able to enjoy their work?”
Mysha blushed hearing Egon's statement. It is true, although there are so many things that he still has to learn in the field, he does enjoy his work.
“Thank you..”.
“You haven't had breakfast, ‘kan?”
“I'm just about to make breakfast. Then, eat here.”
“Good.”.

“You look tense.”
“Oh yes?”
“Can you smile naturally?”
“I'm trying.”
“Hah... You gave me a headache.” Floria also massaged her forehead. It was as if a headache had struck him due to the treatment of the friend beside him.
That day was the day they both visited Frederick's residence, the author of the novel ‘The Dark Prince.’ Supposedly, the two of them came along with another one, the film's scriptwriter. But, due to a sudden hitch, the day's plans for work were abruptly cancelled.
Feeling sorry for the script editor who was waiting for his meeting with him, Frederick finally invited Floria to come to his apartment. In addition to talking about the outline of how the film ‘The Dark Prince’ will run, Frederick has indeed been specializing today to get to know each other, both with the author and the editor.
“Floria yes? Sorry to wait so long” said a handsome man with a tall man, when opening the door of his apartment.
“Nothing, we also came too soon.” Floria swallowed her saliva. It was only the first time he had seen a handsome man with his own eyes.
“Hmm.. next to you?”
Floria glanced at Mysha who had not said a word of greeting. It turned out that the girl was bowing her head to hide her stupid smile.
“Ah, this is Mysha, the boy I told you would come see my work.”
*“*Ma-sorry, I'm too nervous. I really like The Dark Prince.” he muttered in a small voice.
Floria shook her head. Not knowing anymore, what he should do to the girl beside him who looks unable to control himself. Either because he was too nervous to meet the author of his favorite novel or because the writer who looks handsome.
Frederick laughed at Mysha's behavior. His handsome face immediately looks very stunning. “You enter first?”
“Good, thank you” Floria also meenggol Mysha to immediately realize and act mature. Mysha rolled her eyes while trying to calm down.
The three of them entered Frederick's apartment. Unlike the apartment owned by Mysha, Frederick's apartment looks very luxurious and spacious.
When entering the room of his apartment, they only saw luxury items arranged very clean and neat. There are no aromas like perfumes or other unpleasant smells. Only the fresh air from the AC filled the rooms in it.
Frederick then told them to sit and wait on a white sofa in his living room. Before long he left, he returned with two fresh orange drinks on a slender glass glass, with pieces of citrus fruits adorning the mouth of his glass.
“Wah! Thank you!” Seeing Frederick so kindly bring drinks for them, Mysha looked delighted. The nervousness that had enveloped him was as if it had just disappeared.
“Ah, I can finally see your face. You're Mysha, right?” Frederick smiled looking at Mysha.
“Iya, greetings,” Mysha said with a smile.
“Sorry about earlier, I sometimes still can not control myself, especially when meeting with the author of a novel that I admire.” he explained again.
Floria was amazed to see Mysha's transformation that looked stupid to be like a speech expert. He became convinced that he was not wrong to bring Mysha there.
“Haha. wouldn't it be better? I am happy when I see people can express their feelings honestly like that.” said Frederick still with a smile on his face.
Floria looked at Frederick who was smiling before them. Although their distance was blocked by a guest table, he could clearly see how the man looked at the friend next to him.
His face looks firm. So is his nose. Her lips were engraved beautifully in a slightly pale red color. Her eyes are light brown. His brown hair was combed back in a curtain style.
“Thank you.” Mysha was unable to respond much to Federick's words at the time, pulling the side of her right hair behind her ear with her finger. Sometimes, a compliment makes a person misbehave. Especially if the person who says it has an attractive posture and face.
“So, how are you planning to adapt a TDP novel? It would be helpful if I heard from you guys first.” Frederick began to bring the conversation toward work.
Understanding where they were going, Floria and Mysha straightened up their bodies, preparing to speak seriously. “Ah, according to Mr. Hermawan, TDP film screenwriter..”.
