Star-sky Entertainment informed them via their official social media accounts that one of the artists under him, X, was a, will be the Brand Ambassador of the latest mobile phone product from Mahendra Electronics Group which will launch in a few days. Before making the announcement, Axton had done a cover photo shoot with a magazine to promote the product.
Now Axton is preparing to shoot an advertisement.
Some of the crew were seen busy pacing back and forth, while Axton waited in the changing room while reading a script to be memorized.
"The filming will start in ten minutes" one of the crew entered Axton's room and told Ian.
Ian nodded, the man then hinted Axton to get out of the room.
Axton was no longer surprised when he saw Daffa standing among the crowd watching the crew preparing.
"Tumben once yes, Mr. Daffa came down directly. Usually, Siska's mother is always wara-wiri," Axton suddenly heard the talk of one of the employees who stood not far from his place.
"Maybe because the Brand Ambassador this time is a public figure who is on the rise, so Mr. Daffa wants to see firsthand how X works. Mr. Daffa must have paid him a lot."
Hearing the other employees' responses made Axton sneer softly, "Cih!"
"Your mood seems not to be good, X," Daffa came to Axton. In his hand was a can of cold drink that he would give Axton.
"Yes." Yeah." Axton answered briefly without accepting the gift of Daffa.
Daffa smiled calmly. "I wish for you." He said while taking Axton's hand and put the canned drink on him.
"Don't forget, our friendship is at stake here" Daffa said as he passed away.
Axton refrains from vomiting on the spot. It was obvious that he heard a tone of ridicule coming from Daffa's mouth.
"Five more minutes!" exclaimed Anton, the Director, making the announcement.

Anya watches Callista who is busy cooking in the kitchen without the help of the chefs. Callista asked them not to bother.
After escorting Kinanti and Jagat to the airport last night, Callista pleads with Axton and Anya to accompany him at home. Moreover, the girl had already taken three days off.
Actually Callista has asked Kinanti and Jagat to go home longer, however, an appointment with one of the lecturers of Kupanti killer can not be postponed. His own fault can only take time off on an inappropriate day, because his schedule yesterday was really crowded. Nevertheless, he can still enjoy his retirement with his brother-in-law.
"You're smarter at cooking than I am" Anya said sincerely. Amazed at Callista who is so clever using a variety of cooking tools that are not necessarily Anya can.
"Don't humble yourself so Ma'am, anyone will know very well who's smarter at cooking." Callista replied without turning his eyes to the frying pan. The girl was frying fish, one of the menus she would serve for dinner.
Anya smiled. "What can you help? Ma'am doesn't want to be quiet and just watch you cook."
Callista lifted the fish slowly, waiting for a while until all the oil in the fish filtered and put it on the plate.
"Let's just watch over me." The girl replied with a friendly smile.
Anya relented. Callista is an independent child. Although his family has everything, Callista has always tried to do it on his own since childhood. One of the good things that my mother taught the girl.
Anya finally could only watch Callista who was busy pacing back and forth in the kitchen.

"Guts!" the screams of Anton, the Director, once again echoed. This time some complaints sounded faint from the crew.
This is the 84th take that Axton did. Anton, the director, actually saw nothing wrong with the set or Axton's acting. The man can bring it very well and professionally. But somehow, there are things that are not right according to Daffa, from the addition of filming properties, Axton's expression is felt to be lacking, even lighting arrangements that are said to be excessive.
The man had also made Axton change clothes four times.
"Try taken from this corner." Daffa had one of the cameramen shift to where Daffa meant. The man then looked at the screen and shook his head again.
"No... no," he murmured.
"X, try to move forward a little bit" Daffa said. Axton would not obey the orders of the man.
"Ahh, no. Better just retreat to where it was."
Axton's face flushed. He was ready to hit Daffa if Ian had not glared at him.
Axton went back to where it was. Daffa then sent the cameraman back to where he was.
"Yeah, this is better. Come on, let's go again, "without feeling sinful, Daffa cried out in spirit while the crew complained blatantly.
Already made repeated dozens of times, Daffa also forbade them to save the results and had to repeat everything from the beginning in case of a mistake.
What is better, what is better? This position is the starting position. The position they had previously done!
Hot air was coming out of Axton's body. He did not not not know that Daffa was now working it out.
"Ok, all set! 3, 2, 1, action!"
***
As the crew won the Olympics, they cried out in excitement after Daffa said that the take was perfect.
"Sorry, sorry," he said with a cry. "As my apology, you can have a full dinner, let Siska take care of it." He said while giving his credit card to Siska.
The crew's roar sounded loud again.
Axton was just about to walk up to Daffa who happened to meet him, but Ian held the man's shoulder.
"Which one do you choose, obey your dreams or maintain your dignity in front of the crowd?" ian's voice sounded resolute this time. He didn't want Axton to make all their efforts fall apart.
Instead of answering, Axton slammed his towel and left Ian.

"Rest for these two days X. We'll be very busy later." Axton who was walking beside him only let out an indistinct mutter.
Delia opens the car door for Axton.
"Thank you for today X" Axton looked back.
Daffa stood alone not far from there.
He shook for a moment before walking towards Daffa. As much as possible, the man withstood all the turmoil that began to wrangle. Ian said he couldn't make everyone's efforts today go to waste.
"Yes." Yeah." Axton replied relaxedly.
"Good rest, you must be tired," hearing the words Daffa said made Axton laugh cynically.
"It won't be this late, if someone incompetent intervenes in it."
Daffa did not respond to Axton's words. The man instead approached Axton and whispered coldly to her.
"I heard Anya was injured and just fully healed. Remember X, I'll never pull my words. Even if Anya doesn't want to, I'll take it from you if you keep making her cry."
After saying so, Daffa patted Axton twice on the shoulder and drove to his car which was right across from them.
Axton clenched his hand.
"Breng***!"

Anya and Callista were chatting in the front yard when a car they had been waiting for arrived.
Axton got out of the car with a face full of emotion while Ian followed him from behind. Joseph helps Delia down Axton's belongings.
"Assalamualaikum," quipped Callista who was not responded to Axton.
The girl took Axton's hand and kissed his. So did Anya who was standing next to Callista.
Anya was wrong when she saw the gaze of Axton who seemed to want to tear herself apart.
What else is wrong? As he remembered, he never made Axton angry. After all, the man had no longer treated her rudely since the incident last time.
Anya glanced at Ian, but Ian simply replied with a headband.
"What's wrong?" unable to bear the situation, Anya finally asked Axton.
Axton remained silent.
"Remember X, I will never retract my words. Even if Anya doesn't want to, I'll take it from you if you keep making her cry."
Daffa's threat was really troubling his mind at this moment.
Axton's emotions are back up. He would not let go of Anya for Daffa. The man would not let Daffa win from him.
GREB!
Anya's eyes widened as Axton suddenly hugged herself tightly. The man who was much taller than him bowed slightly, in order to hide his head folded around Anya's neck. Inhaling deeply the fragrant body of this woman who for almost a year has been his wife.
Making her realize one thing, Anya's body scent was so intoxicating.
And he .. didn't want to lose this.
