Ariana For Rangga

Episode Ten

Arin waited two hours, but his mother did not come. According to one of his employees, Arin's mother had not come to the salon as usual since yesterday and had no news at all.

Arin deliberately did not tell her true identity that is the daughter of Wulan Ayu Ningsih, because her mother is currently in the media spotlight. A lot of slanted news circulating about his mother, he did not want to with his whereabouts actually make the situation more chaotic. Especially with the news about his mother's personal life that recently made the media curious. Therefore, he only claimed to be one of the customers that Wulan Ayu Ningsih wanted to handle directly.

Just a moment ago he accidentally saw a show of infotaiment watched by his mother's employees. Currently the media is highlighting about her mother's personal life, as well as the daughter's unclear origin and whereabouts.

He never knew who his mother's son was, the most wanted man in the media today. He had felt that he might be the child born from his mother's affair with a wealthy businessman from a neighboring country.

The news has been blowing for a long time, but his grandparents always covered it up and said it was just gossip that was not clear the source. Even some time before, his father deliberately damaged the television at home and revoked access to the paid internet network. He remembered very well, at the beginning of this news appeared even his father confiscated his cell phone, and he was not allowed to leave the house even if only for college.

Although impressed never care, actually his father also still has a heart. He just doesn't want Arin to hear all the slanting news about his mother and put him under pressure.

Arin sipped a cup of tea that had been prepared by one of the salon employees, and tried to be as reasonable as possible.

Although it is undeniable, his heart was burning when he saw the infotaiment that was highlighting his mother's personal life.

"Famous makeup artist, Wulan Ayu Ningsih, was again caught on camera along with a wealthy businessman from the neighboring country of Malaysia. Are they both involved in a scandal?"

Once the contents of the opening sentence spoken by the gossip show host who was airing on one of the television stations.

Arin glanced at a glance, he remembered exactly. That's the guy who was looking for his mom last night.

"Din, do you think that gossip really isn't?"

One of the salon employees began to open his voice, asking his friend.

"Yes, it could be.. Try to think, before that Wulan was not as famous as now. But suddenly she got an offer to become the head of the makeup team at the Miss Asia show, not to mention the offer from one of the PH to become a makeup artist team under the auspices of BiBi Entertainment. That is the most popular PH for famous artists and models such as May Luna and Anarchie.plus the offer of endorse famous make-up brands. It seemed impossible if it could all be achieved with just talent capital. Try to think, how many beauty influencers are far more talented but never get a chance like this."

"Yes also Din. and in hindsight, Bu Wulan's career skyrocketed shortly after the issue about his relationship with the businessman sniffed the media."

"Husha.. You guys, it's not good you guys gosipin let alone he's our boss. Anywhere you eat a salary from Wulan. Let Wulan's private life be her own business, we don't have to interfere."

An employee who just showed up reminded.

"Sena, we're just talking about the news about Ms. Wulan. That's a loh, just caught on. He said Wulan's mom was caught on camera again with the businessman."

"It is the same as Dina Mariana Binti Maulana's gossip.."

Reply Sena while rubbing the makeup brush onto Dina's face.

"Don't talk, let's go to work. The customer is waiting for it."

An employee named Sena approached Arin with a friendly smile.

"Mbak, sorry. I can't call Ms. Wulan, her phone is out of range. And I'm also not sure that Miss Wulan will come today. Well, let's leave my phone number and later if Miss Wulan comes I'll pass it to her."

"Yes, I'm sorry again."

"Yaudah, that's why I say yes. Thanks for the tea."

"Yes, you're both."

Arin steps up with a shunt, out of her mother's salon.

He took a deep breath, it felt very stifling. He wanted to scream, to let go of his chest. He walked as if in no direction, ignoring the people who passed by around him.

Finally Arin arrived at his mother's house, and of course without her mother's presence there.

Arin went into his room, then packed his things and put them in a suitcase.

He reached for the small bag he had brought to take his cellphone, then he booked a plane ticket through the travel agent service. He had intended to go home to his grandmother and grandfather in Siantar.

Arin threw his body in bed. The flight schedule was four in the afternoon, while it was still twelve in the afternoon. A lot of time to stretch the muscles for a moment, he thought.

But just now he was enjoying his most comfortable position, the sound of the doorbell sounded. Arin jumped in shock, then rushed to see who was coming.

"Aunt Retno?"

Arin looked surprised when he saw that Donny's mother was standing waiting for him at the door, of course with her elegant appearance.

"Arin, I'm sorry that aunt's arrival interfered with your time. Can we talk?"

"No, no bother at all. Come on, please come in aunt."

Arin invited Aunt Retno to come in, then served a cup of warm tea.

"Arin, aunt, I'm sorry. If maybe before the attitude of aunt offended you. Aunty just does not suspect that the girl who has been loved by aunty is you. Actually.."

"That means understanding aunt."

Sela Arin's.

"At least it's not aunt's fault. This is how Arin is really a aunt. But anyway, I'm still the most important person in Arin's life. Because the mother who gave birth to Arin, gave Arin a chance to live."

"Arin. as a fellow woman, aunty is also concerned about the state of your family. But auntie can't do anything either.. Arin knows, Om Dana is a figure known to the public. Aunty is just afraid of this problem actually tarnishes the good name of aunty husband. If only your mother was just an ordinary woman, it would be easier for the aunt family to accept you even if your mother was just a farmer it made more sense."

"Make auntie understand.."

Said Arin while nodding.
