Girlfriend Settings
Chapter 16
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.”
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.
“Bosen nih both doang.” Aksa threw down the jacket on the sofa and opened the songbook, uninspired.
“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!
