LOVE AND REVENGE LIONA

CHAPTER 9. AUDITION 1

“The main role in the TV series is Vena Obelia.” Hiro said slowly. He knew who Vena was, the man had heard a lot about Liona about her half-sister.

Hearing that name, it instantly made Liona's face freeze. The name of her half-sister whom she hated so much, the one who had taken her life and made Liona suffer. However, the corner of his lips lifted he felt as if fate had brought him back to this city and it was fate that brought him back to Vena.

"Liona! Do you mind if you have to play in this series? You and Vein will meet often. If you feel uncomfortable, you can step back and I'll find you another job" said Hiro, who noticed the change in Liona's face.

"I'm doing fine. Don't be afraid, I'm even happy to play with Vena in this tv series. Yeah, maybe fate brought us back together. Who know's? liona said calmly.

"All right then. But if you change your mind you should tell me right away."

"Calm down Hiro Abirama! I'm not gonna back down. This is a great opportunity for me."

This morning Liona felt refreshed and excited to start her new life.  “Good morning, mama.” greet Elvano who is sitting at the dinner table and devouring her cereal.

“Good morning. Why did you wake up mom? Hm...want you make another breakfast?” asked Liona who saw her son only eating cereal.

“No, thank you mom. Breakfast cereal is enough.” replied Elvano. That boy had never troubled Liona.

“Good.” Liona cooked an omelet and sausage for her morning breakfast.  She had no intention of cooking this morning.  The book that Hiro had given him was already in his hands. At breakfast, he reads a book.  The story of ‘Third’ Wedding tells of a woman who worked as a waitress in a wealthy family home. 

The woman named Naomi eventually becomes the young master's lover.  Naomi is a beautiful girl who is lucky because her innocent attitude is able to captivate the master's son. After marrying Naomi and not getting offspring, the Young Master decided to marry again, the choice fell on a beautiful girl who came from a rich family, the girl named Joana.  The two Young Master's wives also compete with each other to get the attention and love of the Young Master named Arwan Singgih. The two women turned into greedy women of money and power, the two wives of the Young Master began to gnaw at the treasure slowly. Conflict between his two wives makes Arwan Singgih jester and reluctant to touch both. He spends more time working. Then came the role of Rosalind, a role that will be played by Liona during the audition. The presence of Rosalind who works as his secretary seems to bring a fresh breeze to Arwan Singgih. Moreover, that young girl was very smart.

Rosalind's strong character fits well with Liona's personality. She will be the third lead role in the TV series. After reading the book until it was finished, finally Liona understood the character she was going to play, she memorized all the dialogues.

Finally the audition day he was waiting for arrived, it had been four days that he trained day and night for the audition today. The audition schedule will be held at ten o'clock at Wilfred Studios. The studio is in the middle of the city and it is certain that the streets will be jammed.  Liona left early. He decided to wear a white T-shirt, skinny jeans and white canvas shoes.  He tied his hair in a tall ponytail model and wore a white hair ribbon matching his shirt.  Her face was without makeup, only scavenging lipgloss to moisturize her already pink lips.

“Honey, does mom already look beautiful?” liona asked her son in hope.

“Didn't mama say the role of mama on TV will look like a seductress? Mama should dance like a seductress!” elvano.

Liona was shocked to hear Elvano's words.  Seductress? Is that character for me? Liona rubbed her temple and changed the subject. “Do not have to dance like a seductress. Because what is assessed during the audition is not the appearance but how mom can play the role well.” explains Liona. Elvano tilted her head, her face looking like it was digesting every word Liona said.

Lione prepared breakfast for the two of them.  Hiro came to pick up Liona.  “Good morning uncle Hiro!”

“Good morning Elvano!” Hiro walked over to the guest room and carried Elvano.

“Are you used to the environment here? You like it?”

“No matter where I live, I like the origin of mama always with me.” said the boy seriously.

“Good then.” then Hiro turned towards Liona who was preparing. “You're ready for the audition!”

“Of course! I was so excited this morning to audition.  I am very confident that I will get the role of Rosalind.” he said.  At first, Liona was not very interested in the role but after she found out that Vena Obelia was the main character in the TV series, Liona was determined to get the role.

Naomi's role and Rosalind's role will be doing a lot of scenes together and Liona wants to show everyone that she's much better than Vena.  Hiro glanced at his watch “It's time we left. Let's go.”

Wilfred Studios is the largest studio complex in the country, many films have been recorded there. So not infrequently if many celebrities will be seen there, fans often come to the studio complex to meet their idols.

Over time, Wilfred's studio even turned into a tourist destination like Disneyland in America.  Because in the complex is complete with various buildings for filming, there is a spacious garden that looks like a flower garden and there is an artificial forest as well as various other buildings.  As usual, today the place was crowded with visitors at the entrance so that Hiro had trouble driving his car to meausk.

“We have arrived. The audition location is right over there,” Hiro pointed with his finger.

“Alright!”

“Bring this card, you will show the officer on duty so that you can enter there.  And this number is your queue number. For you to know, many companies have invested in this TV series ‘Third’ Wedding with high hopes for this project.  The largest sponsors are Wilfred Media under Wilfred Group and Sky Media where Vena Obelia is based.  The presidents of both companies will be present at the auditions today.  Don't waste this opportunity. I heard that director Reiki Savian has the right to choose all the actors and actresses to play in this series.  I hope you can do your best to get that role.  This is your chance, Liona!” hiro explained at length.
