Aira's Choice Man

Eps 15's

Aira was wondering what she was going to say to Devano about her and Erigo. While Devano in front of him was busy playing his phone and seemed reluctant to look at Aira.

Aira felt more guilty. Unconsciously he breathed too hard.

"That's burdening you, isn't it!?" Devano said in a hostile tone.

Aira bit her lip trying to find the right opening line, but did not know where to start.

"Tell me if you have to. And save it if you don't have to." Say again. This time keeping his phone in his pants pocket and staring at Aira through the large mirror in front of them.

Aira sighs. "I don't know where to start" he replied.

Devano leaned comfortably. "You like it?"

"I think so" replied Aira slowly.

"Are you happy?" Ask Devano again.

"I think so too" replied Aira.

Devano took a breath and exhaled it hard. Emotions glittering in his eyes. "Listen to my words Aira, if Erigo messes up once, I'll happily punch him and take you with me" he said sharply. "And I really wish he'd screw it up".

Devano stood up, staring at his finished hair in the tata, turning around at Aira.

"I'm happy for you Aira, so don't feel guilty for me." Soft talk.

Devano just left. He could not bear to see Aira looking at him with a languid expression.

Erigo is a good person behind his playful attitude, Devano believes his best friend is serious about Aira.

Let's just say he's only one step faster than me, Devano thought. Even though his heart still hurts.

But he will support both of them.

His new project is about to start in a minute, and that will concern him. He will perform a duet with two junior singers under the auspices of his agency. One of them is Erigo's ex-girlfriend. Moza Yumeida's.

Moza is known to the public through her solo debut. She also made her acting debut three years ago. He's a multitalented artist. That's why Devano chose him to work on a duet project together.

Another singer who will be duet with him is Kei Monita. New arrivals sing unique voices. Kei only made his debut about four years ago. Her career is uphill thanks to her charm and distinctive voice that no other singer has.

Devano will just focus on that and try to forget about Aira. If could.

Aira had just returned home around 10 p.m. The new Erigo will say goodbye when the door to Devano's house opens. A beautiful woman came out from there, followed by another man, then Devano. That person was Moza and his manager, Ruli.

Erigo and Moza used to be public lovers. They dated for about two years before finally breaking up about three years ago and announcing it to the media. Many rumors were circulating that there was a third person among them. But it was never revealed at all.

There was an awkward silence when they faced each other. Moza stared at Aira from head to toe with a dislike and judgmental look. Then he turned to Erigo and his eyes turned from unfriendly to interested. He revealed the sweetest smile and immediately ran into Erigo's embrace.

He greeted Erigo kindly. "How are you Erigo? You look so handsome. I barely recognize you" he said in an up-raised tone.

Erigo forcibly removed Moza's arm from her neck.

"I'm doing fine. How you doing?" Erigo asked with forced hospitality.

"I'm amazing" Moza replied excessively. "You know, I'll be working on a new project with Devano" he said cheerfully.

"I heard it" Erigo said without interest. "Then, good luck" he said again and then turned to Aira.

"Get in and rest" said Erigo softly. "I'll call you later". Erigo smiled.

Aira looked into Erigo's eyes. Erigo seemed to be begging for Aira to enter immediately. Aira nodded "Alright.. Be careful on the road." Smiling words.

Aira closed the door behind her. Trying his hardest to stop his desire to eavesdrop and peek.

Meanwhile outside his house, right at his doorstep, tensions rise. Erigo looked at Moza with hate. He had long lost interest in Moza. Since he catches wet Moza is seducing Airez Zuma to help him get a role in a drama.

Airez is one of the top young executives at their agency, Mouse Entertainment, whose connections are no joke.

Erigo then broke off the relationship with Moza who was responded coldly by the girl because he thought his relationship with Airez was going well. But unfortunately, Airez also seems to have no interest in him. He lost Erigo, Airez, and also a role in the drama he was after.

Yet here he was now, shamelessly smiling and even embracing Erigo as if they were good friends. Erigo felt disgusted. Moza is a selfish and shallow girl.

Moza was very happy to be highlighted by the camera. He tries to always perform with anyone he thinks will make him even more famous.

Erigo folded his hands in front of his chest. She doesn't like Moza touching her.

"I don't care if you want to collaborate with Devano or anyone else. But don't try to get along with me again. I'm not your friend and I don't want to be your friend. I hope you understand that" Erigo said sharply.

Moza laughed cynically. "You're so rude Erigo. Is it because of that girl?" Moza asked shaking her chin haughtily.

"You're not conscious yet?" Cetuss Erigo's. "You should introspect yourself. Why is it that no one ever feels at home near you" Erigo said with a look full of contempt.

Moza sighed cynically. "I wanted to know how good the girl was to make you cold to me" Moza said dismissively.

Erigo looked at Moza with a fury as big as a mountain. "Never try to disturb him. You can't imagine what I'm going to do to you and your very proud career" Erigo said in a threatening tone.

Moza's mouth was trembling. With his chin raised he turned to his manager "We're done here, let's go" he said. He looked at Devano and smiled strangely "See you soon Dev" He said cheerfully.

Devano just nodded his head.

Moza walked with trembling knees and stifled anger. I'm gonna destroy it. 'You will regret Erigo' he said in his heart.

"You okay?" Tanya Devano saw her best friend was furious. "Come in" he said.

"Sial you're Devano. Why take that witch on your project?" Maki Erigo's.

Devano takes two cans of drink from the refrigerator and gives one to Erigo. "You know he's a very good singer Erigo."

Erigo agreed. But his nature is not as good as his voice, Erigo thought. "Close to you, but be careful. He's a snake" Erigo reminded.

Devano understands the reason Erigo hates Moza. The girl only cares about her popularity. He always tries to appear in public with the rising Erigo. Take her wherever she goes. Act like a couple who are drunk kepayang just to get the sympathy of people.

Devano hears things when Erigo and Moza break up. Moza's relationship with Airez Zuma.

It was the year that their group went on hiatus due to an accident involving their leader Toddy and Yansen who had to get treatment for 6 months. At that time he and Erigo did not appear much in the media. But suddenly Erigo appeared with shocking news when he broke up.

The fans split and Devano watched for himself how his best friend looked chaotic. While Moza who looks heartbroken in front of the media is actually busy chasing Airez and does not care about the views of the people around him.

"He's very shameless" Cetus Erigo was rude. "Maybe he smiled at me after everything he did back then" he said in a fiery voice.

Devano laughed "You will still win anyway. You saw for yourself how he crawled up since he left Airez" he said. "From what I've heard, he's having a hard time getting a job in the industry."

"I heard it too" said Erigo. "But it's his own fault for being two-faced"

No one was willing to cooperate with Moza due to his nature. He is arrogant, selfish and feels the highest. He wants to be praised. He was good in front of people yet he underestimated them at the back. He got a job because of the connection. He thought that Airez would help him so he boasted to the others. Until Airez left, he no longer had people supporting him. The only one who survives is Ruli, the poor manager.

"I think the manager is great. He can still keep Moza in the company and get some offair work." Devano.

Erigo nodded. "Ruli cared about him a long time ago. Even he would kneel in his place of the artist. He did help Moza from below" Erigo said.

"You don't want to know how I can get her on this project?" Tanya Devano fishing.

Erigo shook his head. "I believe in your intuition. You said he was good, which means it would be good. So I'll be looking forward to it. You know I've always supported you a thousand percent" Erigo said, patting Devano on the shoulder.

Devano forced his smile. He drank his drink. He felt bitter. "I will always support you" he said.

"What about?" Ask Erigo

"On your relationship with Aira" Devano said.

Erigo smiled brightly. "She's very pretty. I mean, not just his face. She's a pretty person, you know. Like that" Erigo said again.

Devano could see his best friend was already crazy about Aira. He stood up.

"All right, now I'm kicking you out" he said indifferently.

Erigo laughs. "Why? You don't want to listen to my story?" Ask. "Aren't you excited to gossip Moza." Accuse Erigo.

Devano laughing. "Stop acting like Toddy. I don't wanna gossip with you." Cetus Devano's. "Get out of my house!" Said jokingly.

Erigo. "alright... I really want to go home"
