ANTHOPHILES

NEW EXPERIENCE

[SUDDENLY IN THE DESTINATION CITY]

Lea stepped slowly out of the plane, her gaze widening to notice the surroundings, a new place that was so unfamiliar to her.

Feelings of joy and sadness mixed into one.

Glad that Lea had finally reached the city of her dreams, sad that Lea realized that she was now far away with her mother and sister.

Lea's steps stopped, he reached into his pocket to pick up the phone and then saw the office address he was going to.

Because Lea is new to the city, Lea intends to book a taxi online to make it easier to get to the management office.

*finish order taxi online*

Lea continued her scale heading out of the airport.

[OUTSIDE AIRPORT]

*call the taxi driver*

"I wait in front of the minimarket sir"

After a few minutes of waiting, the taxi driver alerted Lea if she had reached the point.

Lea searched where the taxi stopped, looking at the license plate of every taxi that stopped there.

*Lea found the taxi, then immediately boarded the taxi*

Long story short, Lea had arrived at her destination.

[IN OFFICE MANAGEMENT]

"it's mbak, it's the place"

The taxi driver pointed at the white building.

"Oh yes, thank you sir"

While paying for a taxi.

Lea did not stop in front of the building, because to get there Lea had to cross first.

From the street was clearly visible building high and luxurious, making Lea stunned for a moment to look at the building with a feeling of pride.

"in a moment, I'll be there"

*lea's words in heart*

Lea rushed to the building.

Arriving there, Lea did not immediately enter, but called Mr. Felix first as the manager there.

"Sir this Lea, I've been in front of the office"

Said Lea.

"Oh Lea, please come in and wait in the waiting room yes, I'm there now"

*Lea hung up on me*

Feeling bad if you just go straight in, Lea then approached the security who was there.

"I'm sorry, I have permission to enter because I have an appointment with Mr. Felix"

Lea said to the security.

Security did not let Lea in right away, but she instead watched Lea from head to toe.

Realizing security was paying attention to him unnaturally, making Lea feel uncomfortable and want to enter immediately.

"Sorry sir, can I come in?"

Lea said with a more resolute tone.

Hearing Lea's rising tone of voice, the security let Lea in.

*Lea went in at a fast pace, because she was afraid of the security and Lea sat on the sofa there*

Not long ago Lea waited, Mr. Felix came.

"Lea?"

Lea stood up and nodded with a smile to Mr. Felix.

"You're so pretty"

Said Mr. Felix with a look of admiration for Lea.

"Let's come with me to the room, there are already 3 of your new friends"

Said Mr. Felix as he passed away followed by Lea from behind.

[IN THE ROOM]

From the outside, there were 3 women who were meant by Mr. Felix earlier, they were sitting.

By Mr. Felix, Lea was told to sit next to the 3 women.

The three women smiled at Lea, who was,

Lea returned the smile while sitting next to him.

"Lea.. Meet Aster, Vio, and Laura"

Mr. Felix said as he pointed at them one by one.

"You're going to be a girl group, I hope you're comfortable with each other, because you're going to stay together for a long time. You are now a family"

Mr. Felix explained.

"Today there's not much I'm going to say, because it's too late. So the discussion will continue tomorrow in this room around 10"

Lea, Aster, Vio and Laura nodded.

"Now follow me, I will show you where you live. Coincidentally your residence is still in this building, the purpose is to make it easier for you to move here"

Mr. Felix said as he walked.

[IN FRONT OF THE ROOM DOOR]

"this is where you live, you will stay 1 room"

"this is an access card to make it easier for you to get in and out of this room, here's how to use it"

*Pak Felix exemplifies*

"i'll stay, good rest"

"Thank you sir"

Lea, Vio, Laura and Aster replied together.

*Pak Felix left them*

They immediately went in to rest, there were only two beds. They had to sleep together in one bed.

"Where are you from?" ask Aster.

"i'm a real person here" Laura replied

"I'm from out of town" Vio replied

"I'm also from out of town" Lea replied

"means the real people here are just me and Laura"

*Laura surrounds the room*

"ah the bathroom is only One, means the bath must be changed, I first yes .. was so hot"

*Lea, vio, Aster nod*

While waiting for their turn to shower, they also cleaned their luggage.

Because Lea's luggage is not too much, Lea first finished cleaning the goods.

Inadvertently Lea's view was fixed on the balcony, Lea headed to the balcony and then opened the balcony door. From there it is clear the view of Lea's dream city so far.

While looking at the beauty of the city, Lea suddenly remembered that she had not informed her mother, immediately Lea took a cell phone and went back to the balcony to call her mother.

"mom, Lea has arrived. This is Lea again resting while waiting for a bath"

"Alhamdulillah if you've been there, son, have you eaten yet?"

"not yet ma'am, Lea wants to take a bath first new prayers to eat"

"well, if so, I want to continue the mother's stitches"

"bluff mom, what's Lily again?"

"Again job application, he said tomorrow want to start looking for work"

"oh yes Lily emang said she wanted to start looking for work if Lea had already left"

"iya was again focused on making a proposal, already ah. you rest just sure cape really"

"hehe ya ma'am, yaudah later Lea call again mommy dahh mom"

"dahhh, good rest"

*Lea turned off her phone*

Actually, I still want to talk to Lea, but I know that Lea must be very tired. So I don't want to interrupt Lea's rest.

Suddenly a call came from inside the room.

"Lea.. You're not gonna take a shower?"

Vio yells.

"Mandi dong"

lea replied as she stepped inside.

Lea saw that everything was in the shower

"lives me who hasn't had a shower yet"

Said Lea.

"yes there take a shower first, this is why we're looking for food out"

answer Aster.

*Lea nodded then walked into the bathroom"

Laura Vio and Aster waited while chatting. They were very close, like they had been friends for a long time.

*Lea finished shower*

"can't I have a minute to pray?"

ask Lea.

"yes, of course you can dong"

Answer Laura.

"You gap, wait a minute?"

Ask Lea again.

"It's a huge gapapa, but if we do not pray yes because we are all non-Muslims"

Said Aster.

*Lea then pray*

[20 minutes passed]

*Lea finished praying*

The four of them went out to dinner together.

After eating, they rushed back to the room to go straight to sleep because they were tired.

Lea sleeps with Aster, and Vio sleeps with Laura.

[TIL TOMORROW]

Lea woke up early because she would pray before starting her new activity.

After the Lea prayer woke up his friend, then started taking turns to take a bath.

*TWIST*

I heard a phone call coming in

*Laura picked up the phone*

"Hello, with whom?"

"Hello, I was told by Mr. Felix to let you know that your food is prepared downstairs. As long as you're here, food will always be provided"

"ohh well, thanks for the info"

*Laura hung up on him*

Then Laura passed along a message from Mr. Felix to the others.

"our breakfast is on the 1st floor, as long as here our food is ready so we need to go out to find food"

Said Laura.

"That's great to eat for free every day"

Said Vio.

"That's just let us not eat carelessly, let our weight awake. surely the food has been calculated calories"

Said Aster.

"ohhh so yeah.."

Said Lea.

"hmmm Bye bye my taste fried noodles"

Said Laura.

Then Aster switched the conversation.

Lea and Vio raised their hands.

"i used to take a shower, Laura"

"okay ready"

answer Laura.

"Btw call me Lau aja ya"

Said Laura.

They all nodded.

While waiting for everything to finish bathing, they also prepare while making the bed clean.

*Everything is done, they go straight down to the place to eat for breakfast*

[AT THE PLACE OF EATING]

Suddenly Lea remembered mother and Lily, usually they had breakfast together, but now it was different. Lea had to adapt to an environment that she thought was very foreign.

"Gee!"

aster's call confused Lea.

"Ah, yes, what?"

lea was confused.

Then Aster whispered

"i saw the security outside watching you continue"

Hearing that, Lea did not dare to look in the direction of the security.

"from the beginning I came here, security has been careful that I am rich"

said Lea.

"ciee hasn't been a singer yet you've got fans"

vio said mocking Lea.

Lea was uncomfortable.

"ah, I've had breakfast, I'm afraid"

They continued their breakfast to settle quickly, then they headed to Mr. Felix's room according to what was informed yesterday to them.

[IN MR. FELIX'S ROOM]

*They are in and are welcome to sit down*

Mr. Felix started the conversation.

"As you know, you're going to appear as a group, I've been thinking about your group's theme. Your song is ready, you will start vocal training, recording, and learning dance choreography, sorted out from here you immediately come to the vocal training ground, the room is in the right corner"

"A question?"

They all shook their heads and understood what Mr. Felix had said.

Seeing no questions, then Mr. Felix continued.

"as I say it is quite clear, just as much as I want to say, you can leave this room"

*Lea Laura Vio and Aster left the room and headed to the vocal room*

[IN THE VOCAL CHAMBER]

Aster saw from the window, there was a woman inside. It was likely their vocal teacher.

Lea knocked on the door.

*TOK TOK*

a voice sounded from inside the room.

"in"

*They entered and met the woman*

"Include me to your vocal coach, just call me sister Iris, because it looks like you're younger than me"

Lea, Laura, Vio and Aster answered simultaneously

"okay sister Iris"

That day the four of them began vocal training for the first time. Hours passed, they practiced long enough that day because they practiced from theory to practice.

"okay it's enough practice today, long enough because today we actually learn from the basics first. then the training is only 3 hours an. now you can rest"

"his vocal training every day?"

ask Lea

"engga, vocal training for at least 2 days, continue recording, the most dance practice. wait for info from Mr. Felix aja"

answer brother Iris.

They also nodded in a sign of understanding.

"we've said yes, brother, thank you for today"

*sister Iris responds with a smile*

[Lea Laura Vio and Aster headed to their room to rest]

"may I take a shower first? because I want to pray"

Ask Lea.

"ohiya may, we also want to rest for a while"

answer Vio.

Lea entered the bathroom, while the 3 friends fell asleep while playing her phone.

"my rich voice abis"

Laura said starting a conversation.

"yes, even though singing has become a habit but if serious exercise really makes sore throat"

answer Aster.

laughing, Vio said

"we screamed out"

"yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy"

(Vio mimics Aster when the tone is high)

they laugh together.

then Lea came out of the bathroom

"sorry I took a long bath"

while carrying a towel Vio said

"are you mostly sorry"

"I wish I could make people wait"

Said Leah again.

"i'm sorry, but we're family"

Aster said.

Lea also brought mukena to perform prayers.

On the other hand Lea's friend took turns to enter the bathroom to take a bath.

After the prayer, Laura asked

"you pray how many times a day? the power is often"

Lea smiled as she folded her face

"5x a day"

Laura and Aster were shocked

"wah if I'm not able to, once a week also I often skip"

aster replied as he looked at Laura and laughed together.

"pantesan aja during the exercise you permit worship 2x"

Lea responded with a smile.

[2 hours passed, they had a bath done. Then they headed to the 1st floor for dinner]

After dinner, they continued to sleep because they had to prepare for training tomorrow.

[TIL TOMORROW]

as usual, Leah woke up earlier than the others.

the clock shows at 8 o'clock, they're done showering and heading downstairs for breakfast.

At breakfast, there was a phone call coming into Aster's phone.

"morning sir"

"hallo morning, now you're recording yes in the chicel a little bit to let the spout be sorted out, the recording room is on the 2nd floor of the blue door"

"okay ready sir, thanks for the info"

Aster hung up and told Lea Laura and Vio.

They continued their breakfast with great pleasure.

finished their breakfast to the recording room.

[IN THE RECORDING ROOM]

Their arrival was greeted warmly by someone in the room.

"Hallo. introduce my name Alex"

Then each introduced himself.

*Then Alex explained the song they were going to sing, and explained the part sharing of the song*

*In turn they start recording*

2 Hours have passed, though,

*Lea stopped then approached Alex*'s sister*

"sorry brother, can I pray?"

Ask Lea

"oh yes please"

Lea went out of the room to the room to pray.

Because there is a majority of non-Muslims, so there is no special place to pray Lea must return to the room to pray.

on the other side Laura, Aster, Vio continued recording their part.

*25 minutes later Lea just returned to the training room*

"sorry old brother, because I pray in the room"

Lea said it explained.

Brother Alex nodded with a smile towards Lea.

"live your part, the others are done"

Lea started the recording.

[1 hour passed]

"stop, enough footage today, tomorrow we continue here at 10 am"

They nodded and then left the room to go back to the room to rest.

On the way to the room, security arrived and approached them.

Their steps stopped because security stopped in front of them blocking their way.

Without further ado, the security gave Lea flowers.

"you're so pretty, like this flower"

Seeing that, Laura and Vio cheered Lea and mocked her. While Aster knows if Lea feels afraid and uncomfortable with the security.

With great care Lea said.

"thank you for the flowers, but I'm sorry I can't accept any gifts from strangers"

Then Leah passed away, followed by her friends.

[IN ROOM]

"why don't you take the flowers?"

ask Vio.

"said my mother, the man likes reckless, if we are as gasuka as men do not give any response from the beginning, because 1 response aja men consider it a hope"

lea explained.

"if a man loves something, would he like it?"

ask Vio.

"i don't want to go to ge er-an yeah, just in case I'm here to chase my dreams"

said Lea.

That day they continued to eat and then rushed to sleep because they were very tired.
