150 Days Wedding Dilemma

Chapter 3 - New Acts

The night should be the most relaxing time. Because only at night, Sally can rest for a moment her mind from all the scripts she makes. Now, as if everything had changed since the incident this afternoon.

Sally looked at her courtyard with a blank look. He was confused as to what decision to make. Whether he should accept the offer from Zico or not. While he has no other choice, it is unlikely that he mortgaged his parents' home to pay for Zico's car repairs.

This house is the only relic from his parents before the incident occurred. Before he and his family had a terrible accident that made him lose both his parents, as well as his twin ten years ago.

Only this house can cure his longing for his parents and his twin-Salma Zevanya. The atmosphere that he still remembers is clear, how crowded and warm this house was when his family was still intact. Sally couldn't possibly pawn this most precious treasure to someone else, she didn't want to lose the atmosphere of this house.

Then what he could do to be able to pay Zico, he really had no other idea. His hand moved to take a frame that was on top of his bedroom nightstand. The photo shows two smiling children embracing each other with two adults smiling gently at the camera.

The test!

A drop of clear water escaped from his eye patch, recalling memories he still could not forget until now. If it hadn't happened, maybe Sally's life wouldn't have been this quiet. He again put the frame on the nightstand while wiping his tears.

"No, I can't give up. There must be a way to get through all this, spirit!" sally exclaimed at herself to encourage him. He does not want to dissolve in sadness that can make him down.

Sally moved from her room and stepped into the living room, intending to watch television to at least forget the thoughts that plagued her. He picked up the coffee he had just bought in the refrigerator, before finally sitting on a long sofa while turning on the television in front of him.

"Yes back at 'Talkshow Bang Boy', the artist's talk show! today we have the dream guest star of the women, Who do you think? Can anyone guess?" The presenter conveyed his words with great enthusiasm.

Sally really liked this show, because she thought this show was more weighty, never discussed the rumors of the artists like other programs on television.

He watched with great enthusiasm, wondering who this time the invited guest stars were. Sally was busy watching while sipping her coffee without taking her eyes off the television in front of her.

"Artists this time must have been waiting for you, so let's immediately welcome ... Zico Wiratama!" the presenter enthusiastically.

Hearing the name of a stranger, then Sally who was sipping coffee was choking. His eyes were reflexively staring intently at the handsome man who was on the television screen.

"Well, Zico finally got here too. We've been working on Zico for a long time, but the schedule can never be. How's it going, Zico?" boy-sang asked the presenter, extending his hand to greet Zico.

Zico smiled as he shook Boy's hand. "Thank God be good, Bang. I was so happy that finally there was a chance to come to the Bang Boy talk show. Thank you for letting me come here."

Sally looked cynically at Zico's friendly-looking words. "Heleh, he's very friendly, so kind" he said annoyed.

"Where are you busy, horrors want a new film again yes. Tell me what's the story about?" ask Boy.

"Yes, I happen to be shooting the movie 'Decide or Continue'. Make my own story spoiler dikit deh, the rest of you will watch in the cinema if it has aired. So this story is about people who are in a dilemma to choose or continue with their partners, because of various problems that exist. The point is, I haven't been able to spoilers more." Zico laughed at the end of his sentence.

Sally who was already upset with Zico's smooth-looking style of speech when on television, immediately switched to another show.

"You look cool, pas ngedate? Use 'Perfume Zar', its masculine aroma, make your girlfriend feel at home for a long time with you." Zico smiled sweetly while showing the perfume that was in his hands.

Zico's face appears. If he used to be happy to see Zico on television, at this time he was upset to see his handsome face. Wait, did he say handsome? errat face sucks that means.

Tired of Zico's ever-present face, Sally turns off the television and heads to her room. He better sleep, it seems his mind needs to be rested from everything related to Zico.

Sally laid her body on her mattress, her hands moving to turn off the lights on the nightstand. He lifted his blanket and began to close his eyes. He hopes tomorrow will be better than today.

This morning Zico is going to do a magazine photo shoot, then the afternoon he will take the last part of the film. It's quite a busy schedule, but Zico still takes the time to come to Aletta's boutique.

Since yesterday, Zico felt that his attitude was outrageous to Aletta. Yesterday he was carried away by emotions, because what he expected to happen was actually blown away by the reality.

Zico stopped his car right in front of the boutique with the dominant white color. The writing of 'Aletta Boutique' greeted his gaze, he smiled faintly looking at it. Since Aletta High School is very talented in clothing design, now Aletta's dream can be realized because of the persistence of the woman.

Zico got out of his car and stepped into Aletta's boutique. Just as he wanted to enter, he saw Aletta hugging her best friend Devian. His hands clenched tightly.

"Dev, you go back to Indonesia why not talk, anyway! That's why I can pick you up at the airport" said Aletta, upset as she patted Devian's shoulder gently.

The tall man with dimples on his cheeks chuckled. "That's why I'm not saying, I don't want to take care of you with Zico. I'm going to give you some surprise, anyway" Devian replied as she let go of her embrace. He gently rubbed the top of Aletta's head which still put on an annoyed face. "Russia, dong. Don't sulk any more, I bring souvenirs for you, "persuade Devian.

Aletta who heard him smiled cheerfully, she pulled Devian's hand to take him to her room above. He wanted to talk a lot with Devian who had not met for a long time. "Jude, comeon! I want to hear a lot of your stories in America."

Zico who saw his two best friends looked friendly was just flinching. He could hear the two's talk clearly, and he could see the look of longing and love in Aletta's eyes. He only realized that Aletta's attention to him and Devian was different. Aletta rejected it, it must be because of Devian.

Zico felt so stupid, why didn't he realize that Aletta loved Devian all this time. If he knew early, surely this feeling would not have been deep in Aletta. From the beginning it was the type of Aletta like Devian, who a businessman, calm, charismatic, can organize with a systematic life. It's not like his life is falling apart.

Not wanting to linger here, Zico moved to his car. He pressed a button that said contact and searched for the name 'the sloppy'. When he found it he immediately dialed the number, not intermittently long the connection is connected.

"Hello, assalamu'alaikum."

"Wa'alaikumussalam, later my mallem wait at Camelie Cafe. At half-eight, don't be late!" Zico hung up on me. Afterwards he turns on his car and drives it away from Aletta's boutique.

He headed to the shooting location to live his activities, however he felt Zico always tried to be professional with his work. Although at this time the anger and pain still lingered in his heart. Sometimes work can make him forget his feelings for a moment. Yes, even if only for a moment.
