“Where are you going?” Reno asked Rangga who looked neat with his long-sleeved shirt rolled up to his elbow and his sunglasses that made his appearance even cooler.
“Finding love” replied Rangga with a smile.
“You mean Bella?” ask his friend to be confused.
“Please deh Ren, you think I still love Bella!”.
“Ooh.. means that there is a new gigan nih”.
“Well, that's pinter!. Yes I have left first ya” said Rangga while reaching for his car keys.
“Don't forget later tonight you should meet Nadia”.
Rangga stopped at the door, turning his head towards Reno.
“Nadia Felicia?”
Reno just nodded affirming Rangga's question.
“Isn't he Nathan's ex-girlfriend? Why would he want to meet me? Does he intend to play in my new movie?”
“Maybe” replied Reno.
“But why? Didn't he know that I chose Nathan as the lead? I made a statement that Nathan was going to play in my movie. Or maybe he was intentionally close to Nathan?” Rangga wondered to himself.
“All your questions will be answered later tonight when you meet him” Reno said.
“Alright, I go first!”
When it was almost lunch hour Rangga had arrived at the restaurant. As on the previous day, all the female waiters and some restaurant visitors stared at Rangga with an enchanted look. Rangga sat at the table by the window, he opened his sunglasses and called out to a waiter.
A maid came to him and gave him a menu. He chose the same menu he ordered. And a few moments later the order came.
“What Lisa today entered work?” rangga asked the waiter who was serving food at his desk.
“Iya tuan”.
“Can you call him here for a minute?”
“Good sir, wait a minute. I'll call” the waiter immediately calls Lisa his coworker.
Rangga smiled happily even though he was a little nervous. Finally today he will meet with Alyssa, as he thought. The smile was still clearly visible on her face until it finally disappeared when a short-haired female servant came up to her.
“Sorry sir, are you looking for me?” ask the waiter.
“Who are you?” Rangga was confused because what came was not Alyssa he meant.
“I Lisa sir. Said my friend, sir looking for me”.
“Sorry, it looks like I got the wrong person. What I mean is not you, but Alyssa”.
“Sorry sir, here there is no one named Alyssa”.
“You're serious? Try to remember again. He works here, help cook chef cook” said Rangga a little emotional.
“Sorry sir, but it is true here there is no one named Alyssa”.
“Alright, thank you. You can go”.
Rangga looked so upset, he had been lied to by Alyssa. Without eating his order Rangga immediately to the cashier to pay and passed away from the restaurant with a look of anger.
“Why did he just leave without eating his food?”
“Hey Lisa, what were you talking about? Why would he go with a face like that?”
“It looks like he's looking for someone named Alyssa. And the woman named Alyssa must have lied to him by saying that she worked here”.
“I became curious about the appearance of the girl who had lied to him. How beautiful the girl to dare to look like a handsome man it”.
In his car, Rangga still looks upset. He felt he was the most stupid person because he had been lied to by a girl. He drove his car quickly to his house.
“If I see you again I will not let you go so aja Alyssa” her inner.

At night Nadia and Rere arrived at Rangga's house. They waited for a few minutes in the living room until Rangga finally came to them.
“You came here definitely want to play in my new movie right?” asked Rangga while drinking his coffee.
“Why are you so outspoken? There is no base at all” replied Nadia with a sweet smile.
“Yes I know for sure your purpose here for that right?”
Nadia was still smiling. While Rere was just being their audience. He didn't want to talk too much as Nadia had asked.
“Quick say! Why do you want to play in my movie?” ask Rangga again.
“Why do you think?” Nadia asked back.
“You still like Nathan right?”.
“Hahaha.” Nadia laughed for a moment. “You are indeed smart Rangga, can guess exactly if I still like Nathan”.
“OK, if that's the reason, sorry you I refused!”
“Why rush reject me?” nadia asked still with her sweet smile.
“If I accept you Nathan will step down from this movie. I'd rather turn you down than lose Nathan”.
“Let's make a deal!” said Nadia.
“You mean?”
“You accepted I was Nathan's co-star in your new movie, but Nathan couldn't figure it out until he signed. In return I would not be paid to play in this film”.
“That's impossible!” reject Rangga.
“You think first. Nathan and I dated for a long time and we have a lot of fans who still want us to be together again. If I can play in your new movie, you can just imagine how enthusiastic people will be about your movie. They're gonna want to see Nathan and me in the title role. And it will benefit you greatly. I dare guarantee your movie ticket sales in theaters will exceed than you imagined so far”.
“Do not be too rash to reject me. You just think about this deal. I'll wait patiently for your answer” Nadia drank the drink a little and then move from her seat and followed by Rere.
“I'm sorry to go home first” Nadia bowed to Rangga. “I wait for your answer!” Nadia walked away from Rangga's house with a satisfied smile.
“What about he will accept you?” ask Rere as soon as they're in the car.
“Entahlah, but at least now he will think twice to reject me” replied Nadia calmly.
Meanwhile, Rangga who was still sitting on his living room sofa seemed to be thinking. He thought about the deal Nadia had given him. Actually Nadia is right in this case, surely the film will be a lot of audience if successfully invite Nathan and Nadia to play in his new film later. That means his career as a director won't stop here.
But if he accepts Nadia, it means he betrayed his friendship with Nathan. Nathan would be very disappointed in him.
Rangga was really dizzy with all this. On the one hand he does not want to ruin his friendship with Nathan, but on the other hand what is offered by Nadia will benefit him greatly.
“Aarrgghh.. I hate today!” yelled Rangga at himself.
“Alyssa! Nadias! You piss me off!”
Rangga ruffled his hair, he buried his face in his palm. He felt that today was a bad day for him. With a still irritated feeling he walked into his room and decided to go to bed early. Who knows by waking up early the next day can make his mood calmer.
