July 2014, the,
After passing through many obstacles and stages, this is where Alethea Anastasia is located - Tokyo, Japan. Thea finally managed to be in the final stage before actually becoming part of JKT48. He was in a hotel with a group of girls who had the same dream. They are all preparing to show their teeth in front of the total producer, Yasushi Akimoto - or who is familiarly called Aki-P.
This week, Thea and the others are in Japan. He didn't care what district he was in. He was too tense and nervous for the audition he planned to hold tomorrow morning. As per her agenda, the audition will be held at AKB48's live theater. Waw! Something that can be said to be quite rare. JKT48 management said, they will be allowed to watch AKB48 performances, whether it is team A, K, B, 4, or team kenkyusei. But to be honest, Thea was less enthusiastic. You could say the new AKB48 fan. He does not have oshimen. But if forced, he is eager to see the appearance of Minami Takahashi. Or Tomomi Itano - dear member that one has graduated.
Right now, Thea is in the room. He lived in the room with five little-known girls. Moreover, the girls were also neither a school nor a city. While holding his phone, he looked at his future friend. There are short-haired shoulder to shoulder, some are curly-haired, some are cheeked temphem, so some are sounding so flat. All of them, just like him, had not slept. It's an ordinary syndrome - one that occurs before a historic special day in each other's lives.
Thea looked back at the phone screen. He nimbly pressed the keys, resulting in a writing that was shown to someone. That's Aldo. His relationship with that guy this time was very complicated to explain. It's complicated. You could say, their relationship is a friend but friendly. Their relationship is HTS - Relationship Without Status. Said girlfriend, before the audition, they had already declared themselves to be friends only. But said friends, intimacy while still dating is still awake. Keep in touch with each other on WeChat, Line, or SMS. They even like to call each other. I still love the road to the mall. This relationship is very dangerous, especially if Thea is really accepted as a member of JKT48. There have been several examples, members who were expelled because they were found to have someone special.
"Tomorrow I've auditioned. In front of his Akimoto-sensei directly. Doain well, accepted. Oh yeah, how are you? When to go to America? Are you going to film school there?"
That's what Thea said to Aldo. And it didn't take half an hour, the reply arrived. Aldo replied, "Two days, Te, I'm leaving for America. Good luck yeah. Ganbattes!" Because quite a Japanese-speaking master, the guy wrote 'ganbattes' in Hiragana script. Thea giggled herself reading it. Basis alay! - thought the girl inwardly.
"Hey," cried a girl. The Curly Hair. Name's Risah. "Smile yourself. Who else is the chat with?" The girl smiled at him.
The one with the voice chimed in, "From the guy???" The cat's name is Audrey. Commonly called Audi. And because of a Wapanese, he wished to be called Dicchan.
Thea chuckles. "Yes not. I could die if I get caught having a boyfriend."
Si Pipi Tembem commented - his name is Josephine. "Look easy again. I'm auditioning this is actually still dating my guy." The girl chuckled proudly. It was like it was pride. Just as proud when someone wins a tour to Hawaii.
"Lo crazy!" sembur Risah's. "When caught what JOT? You could fail the audition. It can be returned to Indonesia."
Josephine chuckled again. "That's why you shouldn't get caught. Anyway, I think, must have been the previous members also had a girlfriend outside the theater. And they managed to hide their boyfriend."
"Ngaco well, by the way" said Risah again. "Don't JKT, his AKB, be caught having a relationship, get ready to be sanctioned. The most recent example, Minami Minegishi. Sayaka Akimoto is the same. Rumi Yonezawa or Natsumi Hirajima. Listen also Annisa Athia was forced to graduate because of the no dating rule problem."
The Pipi Tembem still had a relaxed face and chuckled. It looks like he thinks he can play JOT. While Thea began to ketar-ketir. The nervousness is getting worse. His mind began to think of strange things. For example, what if he escapes? His status has definitely gone up. From public to celebrity. It will be difficult to maintain privacy in life. It's hard to hang out, too, when Aldo comes home. Surely his face will be known, at least by teenagers. That must have put him in a corner position.
The Short Hair who had been busy reading and watching the conversation, suddenly raised his voice. He chuckled and said to Thea: "Why are you? How is that tense? Just plain again. Just relax. Just this time yeah - audition?!"
Thea smiled. "No, there's nothing. This audition is not the first. I've also been there before, just falling out in the first stage." He chuckles to himself.
The others laughed too. This room, even though it's nine o'clock, is so rowdy. Hope it does not get a reprimand from the JKT48 Operational Team. Eh but as Audrey made her voice - she said: "Don't you have a boyfriend?", their bedroom door was knocked on. It turned out to be from the JKT48 Operational Team. Exclaimed one of the management: "Hey, it's nine o'clock at night, you're asleep." Hearing that loud enough voice, they instantly fell silent and began to close their eyes.

Day H. At seven in the morning, the participants of the Third Generation JKT48 audition were already in the hotel hall. They're getting ready for the audition. This time, the tension is really gripping. Almost no one really had a relaxed face. Even if there was, that relaxed face was not really relaxed. Just a tense face forced with a relaxed face.
"You know right - you can't date as long as you're part of JKT48?" the woman said without a smile.
They all nodded. And.in each other's hearts, they began to worry.
"Maybe you all don't know, if the room where you rested is already fitted with CCTV. In addition, there were some people from the management who were patrolling. That's what we do to keep that no dating rule from getting hurt."
Hearing those words, the audition participants who were summoned were bowed. Including Josephine who last night was so arrogant to look at the number one rule in the 48 Family. They all have to accept the consequences. It was repatriated, before it could show its teeth in front of Akimoto-sensei. In total, there will be eight people sent home.
"I'm sorry, you have to be sent home. You were declared to have failed the audition. For the 48 Family, the rules must be respected. Discipline is absolute. And that's what makes 48 families so big now" said the woman again. "You can go back to the room to pack your things to go back to Indonesia immediately."
Then, accompanied by several people from the management, the eight people walked straight to the room. They really bowed listlessly. At that time, one of the management approached Thea. The girl became stubborn. It started to sting. Oh my God, please don't bring me back. Just one more step.
Someone whispered to her, "According to gossip, you have a boyfriend. Is that true?"
Thea shakes.
"Can you see the HP?"
Thea pulled out her phone timidly. Someone received it and fiddled with the contents of his phone. It was just to make sure Thea didn't have a lover.
"Well, if I may know, who is this Aldo? And is that guy in that folder whose name is Aldo?" ask someone like a police officer interrogating a motor vehicle theft suspect.
Thea's lips suddenly turned upside down. Nervously, he replied, "In-he's just my brother's brother, kok, Sis."
"Really?"
Thea nodded slowly.
"Okay, may your words be true" said someone who did not seem easy to believe. Then he just walked away.
Thea sighed. He thanked God, bad things didn't happen. He is also allowed to audition for the final stage. It seems - if it passes later - it must be really extra careful, so that his relationship with Aldo is not smelled by the public. Ridiculous as it is - still a trainee, but must pass because it was found to violate the no dating rule. Maybe his relationship with Aldo really should just be a friendship.
Ten minutes later, the bus came. The bus was the one that took them to the audition spot. After waiting a long time, they arrived at the awaited time. Final audition - in front of Yasushi Akimoto and a translator. They were told to introduce themselves, sing a song, then just wonder - which still has something to do with the 48 Family. The audition did not take 1 x 24 hours. It only took two hours, the results were already out. And thank God Thea for finally being able to be part of JKT48.
Wait for. His dream has been achieved. What about her love relationship? Just thinking about it, already made Thea dizzy seven circumference.
