Aksa hasn't been in college for a few days. Though since the warning from the campus, Aksa diligently entered. The filming schedule was adjusted to his college schedule.
At first it was ordinary. But for a long time Zanna was agitated, anxious to think about what happened to the guy.
HP could not be reached. Calling Niko was no response.
He became upset, feeling hung up without clarity. To not dare to interact in cyberspace because it cannot bear to read the spicy comments of Aksa fans who became his haters Zanna.
After his work was done, he went home immediately. In order not to be caught by many people, Zanna ordered an online motorcycle taxi and went to wear a mask covering her face.
His mind was chaotic.
Arriving home, he was astonished to see Cici sitting in the doorway, with a lethargic face. Cici has a problem again.
“Ci, why here?”
Cici did not answer, even more empty views.
Zanna was worried about Cici. Must take action immediately.
“Duuuuhh..!” cici screams while holding her nose. “Zanna what the hell is cici idung What clothespin!”
Zanna laughed amusedly. Since long ago if Cici had started daydreaming, Zanna immediately squeezed her nose hard so that she realized.
“Eh girls are not good you know diem at the door like this. Pamali.”
“Pamali why? Will it be far from that soul mate?”
“Not. Yes pamali, doorways. I'm going in! Move!”
Squeakily pouted and shifted, letting Zanna in.
“Na, Cici want to vent nih.”
“Churhat what?” sahut Zanna from the room. Before long he came out already changed clothes, while curling his hair using a hairpick.
“It looks like Cici and Abid want to move from here, Na.”
Zanna surprise. “Moving? Why?”
Then Cici story. Their mother in the village costs a lot for treatment, so Cici's salary is not enough to pay the rent this month. They want to move to the cheapest shabby contract.
“Why not say the hell, Ci? I can help. Don't need you same Abid moved from here.” Zanna try to cheer up.
“But Cici can't pay for the next two months, Na. You see Cici already cashbon salary two months to the boss, for the cost of mother.”
Zanna was speechless, inevitably she was firm as well. If Cici and Abid leave, where will they stay?
But even if they leave, Zanna must fight for her own additional funds for the rent.
Besides pity them if abandoned in Jakarta.
“Contract the next two months do not you think, Ci. I'll take care of it. But you're the same Abid doesn't need to move.”
“But Cici does not taste good same Zanna.”
“We're brothers, Ci. If Cici and Abid go who keeps me here who?”
Cici immediately cried. “Maafin Cici Yes. Zanna very good with Cici.”
“But on condition, if there is news about me leaking to others from you, I can be very angry you know.” For the kayak Cici nagging creatures need ‘ancam’ a little.
“Iya Cici promise, Na.”
After that, Zanna thought again, how to get money in a fast time?
Because the owner of the contract is famous on time, if it is time to pay the contract, it has been anticipated since a week before. If he is late, sadistically he can be expelled. Especially because many also want to contract in this nice house that is not too expensive.
Borrow it from Mr Randy?
He feels bad these days always making mistakes in his work.
If this is the case, he should think of another way to earn money.
“Ci, you said where you have vacancies?”

On a blistering afternoon, Aksa had just come out of the studio after the shoot.
Tumben-tumbenan not many fans swarming in front of the studio office. Good, he's not in the mood for media exposure either.
“Lo why go far in Zanna?” ask Niko as soon as she gets in the car.
Aksa. His handsome face became upset.
“He's worried about you. But you told me not to say anything to him. Cassian she is, Sa. The media has started to talk strangely if you same Zanna just pretended to be dating aja.”
“That's exactly what keeps me away from him temporarily.” Aksa open the sound. “Mama doesn't like Zanna because Zanna is older than me. At the peak of the time when Mama asked her fellow artists about me and Zanna, Mama said I'm just not serious because Zanna just helped me learn. Moreover, Mama wants to know me as her daughter. Be out gossip if I'm with Zanna just pretending.” Although it is actually just a setting.
“Trus it bother you now?” ask Niko at last. He has never seen Aksa anything like this.
“Gue also does not understand.”
“Gue is weird as you are. You used to not care the same reason Zanna ninggalin Bang Adnan, and you insist on revenge bales. But now it seems to be turning around.”
“That's exactly what confused me, Nik.” Aksa threw his body lethargic. “Gue confused what to do. Bang Adnan saw him. And as I thought, his condition worsened and Bang Adnan became more and more so. Even he's every mallem's nightmare of that accident. What the accident had to do with Zanna I also do not know.”
“Why did you bring him to meet Bang Adnan? This could get worse. He does not know anything and you are also not clear with him.”
“Because I was confused he didn't react anything. I caught him with a thread about Rapunzel. But he's flat on.”
Niko understands the turmoil of her best friend. “Now we can only guess, until you find the right time to talk seriously with him. Maybe it was an accident and amnesia.”
“Lo says this movie? Pack amnesia all.”
“Gue seriously. The disease could have been his natural. The proof is that he did not react. So even if you ingetin him how his expression will not change. He probably doesn't know anything.”
Aksa began to justify the word Niko. If Zanna is amnesiac, how do you get along with Adnan?
“Gue is still not sure, Nik. Mending you find out about Bang Adnan's accident. Is there anyone else involved. Lo investigate also his friends to get info.”
“Lo is calm. The important thing is not to lose focus on work. Your career began to dim a few days this media less news about lo. Everyone assumes lo dodge.” Niko starts the car and slides into the highway. “Schedule lo empty today. Want me to anter home?”
Aksa. “Gue again mumet. Karaoke from.”
Niko complied and drove the car towards Kemang, South Jakarta.
***
Because the exclusive karaoke in this elite area belongs to his Mama friends, Aksa gets easy access to VIP Room.
“Lo kepenmenin who?” Niko tuned the mic and turned on the track list. “Need me to miss Ladies?”
Ladies it's the term female karaoke guide.
“Solar lo.”
Niko typed on the LED screen, ordering two Ladies to accompany her karaoke.
The lights dimmed, and Niko started karaoke. Their habits since High School, karaoke relieve stress.
The door opens, two ladies enter. Because it was dark, their faces were not very clear.
One of the Ladies was already sitting next to Niko, but the one Ladies was pecking at the doorway.
While Aksa sat back to read articles on the internet. He took a drink glass.
Unintentionally his eyes pointed at the door, the glass spontaneously falling out of his grasp.
Zanna!
***
STUMPLINGS!
The sound of the glass breaking was almost muffled by the loud sound of music.
Music is turned off and lights are turned on.
All shocked at him.
“Zanna?!” Aksa could not hide her shock face seeing Zanna in a tight and skimpy dress.
Zanna's paled face was caught off guard by Aksa.
Niko is no less surprised, knowing Zanna works as a karaoke guide.
“Nik, I want to talk four eyes to him.”
Understanding the situation, Niko invited the one Ladies out of the room.
There are only two of them left.
Zanna did not dare to raise her face knowing Aksa was looking at her sharply.
For a while they sat side by side, without a sound. Just heard the music and singing from another room.
“Why can you work as a Ladies karaoke?” ask Aksa ketus.
Zanna did not dare to look at him, just squeezing her finger uneasily.
“ANSWER!!” snapping Aksa made Zanna shocked.
“A-I..” Zanna has no power to hold back her tears. “I need money to pay for the contract.”
“That's free?” Aksa did not think. “Just because of the money, you want to work like this? Na, if people know, what about your reputation as a lecturer assistant?”
Zanna started sobbing, scared. “I have no choice.”
“Everyone has a choice. And you chose the wrong path.”
“I'm just a karaoke guide, not a comfort woman.” Zanna tried to explain.
“Karaoke driver or something, do you believe? With your clothing style like this, you think you believe ‘cuma’ works as a karaoke guide? If you are held-hold then can not refuse, so?” aksa's question made Zanna checkmate confused to answer.
Honestly, he doesn't like working like this. Far from comfortable. He must accompany guests who sometimes touch him. But what power he must get money in a short time.
“Why not tell me you need money?” ask Aksa cynically.
“HP you off continue. Niko didn't answer my phone either.”
Aksa felt guilty, because he stayed away from Zanna, until Zanna had to work like this.
Zanna clasped her own hands, due to the cold, the room AC was too tight. His clothes are quite open. Knee-length tight dress, plus makeup that is quite disturbing.
Without wasting any time, Aksa opened the Ladies pin on Zanna's shirt and picked up the jacket. “Pake it. We go now.”
Zanna knew full well Aksa was still angry. But he did according to wearing Aksa's jacket and followed her out.
***
“Lo be honest with me.”
“Honest what?”
“Feelings start to change right same Zanna?”
Niko's guess leaves Aksa in shock and glances at the car at a glance.
“Aaan anyway? If she's heard how?”
While Zanna was changing clothes in the car, they waited a bit far while watching.
“Lo it's been so glazed. With the incident earlier, you yourself forgot if he was just your girlfriend setting, and your revenge target for Bang Adnan?”
Aksa just realized, Niko's guess is right. She felt like Zanna wasn't just her setting boyfriend.
“Consideration and anger you to him already indicated if you have a taste to him. Not just revenge or hate.”
Their conversation came to a halt when Zanna got out of the car. Already wearing jeans, t-shirts and thin jackets. The thick makeup has been removed, so that his face is cleaner.
“I already ngundurin myself so Ladies,” said Zanna slowly.
Aksa and Niko fell silent.
“If you have a job I can do..?” Zanna did not dare to continue.
The two guys in front of him looked at each other.
“There,” Niko's answer made Aksa shocked. “Aksa will celebrate his 21st birthday next month. You can follow your fiancee's scenario. In this way, whatever you ask we will love. And now I'll give DP three million cash.”
Aksa pulled Niko away. “Lo what the fuck makes the scenario not say it used to be me?”
“It should be finished, Sa. The time of your moment fiancee, you unload everything. I can't watch him like this. Meet him with Bang Adnan. You have to make a choice. Soon I will find information about the accident Bang Adnan and the cause of Zanna did not want about Bang Adnan. But you must immediately certainlyin attitude. You must be ready whatever the explanation later.”
Somehow Aksa is not willing to lose Zanna, her setting boyfriend.
