Blue Scandals

28 - Beginning

After that careful intelligent race, the activity returned to its original form. Julio also tries not to interact too much with Lilia after learning that Reza suspects her constantly.

Lilia is focused on her OSIS assignments and midterm rework preparation. Although he had been moody for some time, now he seemed to have returned excited.

When it comes to interacting with Reza, Lilia also remains as usual and shows no irritated expressions or expressions of people who are happy.

All that looks normal, but not for Halina. Seeing the invisible interaction of Lilia and Reza as close as before made the back-haired girl feel confused.

Even so, Halina did not ask Lilia anything. He did not want to interfere with his friend's personal affairs if Lilia herself did not tell him directly.

While having lunch together in the cafeteria, Gavin and Fahmi suddenly sit around the same table.

“Gabung yes, let the other seats used by other students,” said Fahmi who had brought a bowl of meatballs.

“Tumben very, Mia where?” asked Fani while smiling wryly.

Gavin laughing. “Do not askin.”

Fahmi just laughed a little at Gavin. He also began to focus on eating his meatballs.

“Oh hi? You are Halina huh?” greet Gavin.

“Yes, sir, I'm here,” said Halina trying to joke.

Gavin laughing. “Sorry yes just had nyapa.”

“Casual kak.”

“We are the same age, do not call Gavin use the word ‘kak’. Oh yes knowin, I'm Fahmi, the most handsome guy in OSIS,” said Fahmi with a smile.

“Inget, Fahmy. I told you Mia Loh,” said Lilia while laughing.

“Introduction doang.. ,” says Fahmi pout.

“Halo Fahmi, greetings know me Halina. Eh like it was in class 1 we were in class deh,” said Halina while thinking.

Fahmi scrunched his forehead. He tried to remember but could not remember. “Yeah? My memory is ugly, sorry.”

Everyone there laughed. The five people continued chatting until the break was over.

Saturday, after school…

.

.

As promised by Iansa. On Saturday after school, Reza was taken to the town of T to meet with his grandmother's acquaintances.

His grandmother's close friend has a business in the field of fashion with a fairly well-known brand in Indonesia, Black Major.

As the name suggests, fashion products from this brand are dominated on average by black clothing for men and women.

Reza entered the building. The black-eyed man looked amazed at the strategic location of the luxurious 4-story building.

There was a beautiful woman in a black uniform a golden combination that welcomed and guided Iansa and Reza.

2 floors of the building is used for the sale of clothing with a large super luxury clothing store style arrangement.

The 3rd floor is used as a photo studio and also a clothing production site. While the 4th floor is used as office space for several divisions.

Reza looked amazed at the place. After boarding the employee-only elevator, they arrived at the 3rd floor.

“This goes directly to his studio nek?” ask Reza curiously.

“Yes, you see also right.”

Reza looked around, in another part was seen the tailor who worked for this company.

“Nek, why are they producing themselves? Not more efficient if the message in the home sewing industry?”

“To guarantee quality and help people get jobs,” Iansa explained.

Reza nodded in understanding. He and his grandmother entered a large photo studio.

Reza's eyes focused on the female model who was doing the photo shoot. He knows that face.

Shortly thereafter, the owner of the company showed up.

“Iansaa, how are you?” mona said and then greeted Iansa.

“Well, very good,” replied Iansa with a smile.

Mona's eyes looked towards Reza. Iansa introduced him immediately.

“She's my granddaughter who I told you about back then.”

“I Reza bu,” said Reza politely while greeting Mona.

“Yaampun, how handsome is your grandson. Similar to Adhi when he was younger but more handsome yes,” Mona said with sparkling eyes.

Mona looked at Reza's face carefully. He had imagined the black-eyed man posing with his fashion.

“Suitable once, so when can you start? Incidentally, I really need a male model,” Mona said again.

“I can start anytime,” said Reza fast.

“Wah I like the spirit of young people hahaha. Oh yes, know the same aunt's nephew,” said Mona while looking at women the age of Reza who just finished a photo session.

“Loh, Reza?” said the woman was shocked.

“You know each other?” ask Mona and Iansa.

“Iya, we are one school, ma'am, uh aunt. ,” said Reza confirmed.

Halina looked confused. Mona also explained that Reza will work as a model for her fashion.

Halina never thought this would happen in her life. He didn't want anyone to know what he was doing after school.

“You were here to talk to your friends, grandma wants to talk first with friends nenk,” said Iansa while waving her hand and leaving.

Reza sat in the chair that had been provided as well as Halina who looked awkward.

“Lu why list models here?” halina asked with an annoyed expression.

“Wah? Your personality has 2, right? At school, I was talking about you, Lilia.”

Halina rolled her eyes with a lazy expression. “By the way I am you for a certain person. Answer my question earlier.”

Reza looked towards Halina with a serious expression. The woman before him now was completely different from the Halina he had known in school.

“Pengen only, I do not know if you are also a model here. Tau that I do not list,” said Reza with a lazy expression.

“Can stay backwards?” halina said with a cynical look.

“Lu why the hell is like a very similar sensi me?” reza was confused.

“Gue doesn't like guys who like to spread charm,” replied Halina while looking the other way.

“Hah?”

“Do not deketin Lilia again, I do not like there are flies deketin him,” said Halina with her sharp eyes. He got up from his seat and came out of the room.

Reza was stunned, He was completely shocked by Halina's words. Soon Mona and Iansa arrive.

“Reza you can try shooting today too?” mona asked with a hopeful expression.

“By deh,” said Reza then got up from his seat.

Other staff then directed Reza to change clothes.

Reza came out of the dressing room with an awkward expression. Halina had changed into her usual clothes and was sitting on the edge of the room.

“Wahh, indeed yes superior genes Adhi is amazing, just with a little touch of his face already looks so shining,” said Mona with a happy expression.

Iansa just smiled hearing her friend nod her granddaughter's look.

Reza began to do poses as directed by the photographer.

“He is talented yes, silence is beautiful,” Mona said again.

“Loh tumben? Usually you are happy here until night?” ask the middle-aged woman.

“Next week UTS, Halina wants to learn,” replied the woman reasoned.

“Yah even though aunt would invite you to eat all together Reza- “

“Ngak aunty, Halina must learn,” said Halina quickly cut.

Mona looked confused but finally nodded in understanding. “OK deh, let auntie tell Pak Agus between ya?”

“Nevent need aunty, Sera will pick up Halina kok,” said the dark brown-eyed girl.

Mona nodded in understanding. Halina also left that place with an irritated face.

The atmosphere of the luxury clothing store looked crowded in the afternoon. Among the visitors was one woman who was leaning beside the escalator while playing mobile phone.

“Sera!”

The woman called Sera turned her head towards Halina.

“Tumben you go home first?”

“There are people who make me males,” said Halina while walking.

The two entered the tiny blue car in the parking basement.

“Where is your school life? I haven't seen you in a long time.”

Halina took off her sunglasses. “Seru, I found an interesting meeting.”

Sera simply smiled faintly hearing Halina's reply. He drove his car to one of the cafes.

“Haleyy...,” call a man wearing a gray hodie while waving from his seat.

Halina and Sera approached the man who looked the same age as the two girls.

“Do not call me like that,” said Halina upset.

The man just laughed. “Halo Sera.”

“Mr daughter again badmood tuh, entertain her gih,” Sera said with a smile.

“Sera...” said Halina with an annoyed expression.

“Tumben badmood, why?”

“Nothing, btw said you want to move? When?”?

“Hmmm, not yet received daddy. He said it was not yet time,” replied the onyx-eyed man.

“Huh, at least not so move.”

“But the temen you said it really looks like sister Nina?” ask the man.

“Yes, so similar that I thought they were the same person,” said Halina with a flat expression.

The man seemed to be thinking with a serious expression. He then turned his eyes towards Sera who was focusing on eating.

Elsewhere in the melon cafe….

.

.

The teenagers' Sunday night activities were taking place as usual. The melon cafe was filled with teenagers of all ages.

“Reza said this malem does not come yes?” rion asked while focusing on handing out the cards on the table.

“Iya, he said there was a business,” replied Gio while peeling the beans.

“What solution? Tumben really.”

“No idea, don't tell him,” replied Gio briefly.

Rion smiled and said nothing more. The man with a pretty unique haircut took out his phone and sent a message to someone.

After that Rion put his phone in a jacket and continued playing cards by placing higher bets.

After an hour had passed, Rion's friends sat down with annoyed expressions of always losing.

“Wah today I'm hockey again. Okay because I'm hockey, I want to give you a gift later.”

The teenager who could sit around the big table laughed. Shortly thereafter came the bald man. Gio was confused to see the arrival of the person who was outside the usual arrival schedule.

“Lu who called balding pack yon?” ask Gio wonder.

“Iya, why?” rion replied with a flat expression.

“Monday UTS c*k, you want to make now?”

“Tomorrow is still a week,” said Rion while laughing.

The transaction went on as usual and the bald sir just left after it was completed.

Rion returned to his place while showing off the black crackle in his hand.

“New stuff boss?” ask one of the teenagers who wears a black shirt.

“Yups, this one is a bit different. You get each ration one special today because I often win,” said Rion with a happy expression.

Gio silently looked doubtfully at Rion. Rion put the black crackle in the middle of the table.

“Tobacco?” ask a teenager wearing a gray shirt.

“Tobacco G*, which was in the news,” said Rion with a happy expression.

The teenagers circling the table seemed happy with the new thing they were about to taste. Each of the teenagers took a cog paper r*kok one by one and snuff it.

Gio smelled a strange scent of tobacco on the black crackle. “Gue skip first,” said Gio with a doubtful expression.

Rion laughing. “Cupu lu.”

Gio got up from his seat and headed towards the center of the cafe.

The teenager who sat with Rion began to turn on his r*kok. Gio just stayed in that seat while drinking his drink.

Shortly afterwards there was a loud laughter from where Rion and his friends were gathering.

“Gio not follow?” ask Nino.

“No, I monday UTS mas.”

“Wah still think of UTS too?”

“I am naughty mas, but yes school grades should not be so ugly,” said Gio with a flat expression.

Nino laughs. “Oh yes he said you had been mobbed by people in T city, why can you get there?”

Gio let out a long breath. “The plan is to skip school but do not know where, just keep the bike going. Pas until the good beach finally stops, uh even there are school delinquents who come.”

“Continue scraping?”

“Yes is it mas,” replied Gio lazily.

“Udah healed right now?”

“Udah kok, my two days a day is also normal again.”

Nino laughed then shook her head. He was quite impressed with the young man in front of him.

“Reza where?”

“There's a business he said,” replied Gio briefly.

Nino nodded in understanding and did not ask again. Letting the teenager go silent in his own mind.
