MANDARINS

Returnees

“Congratulations ya Bey for your wedding. The permit is only three days, but in fact it continues a week. Just keep going with your husband.” Tempted Silvia so see Beyza.

Beyza met her close friend at the entrance of the company where Beyza works. Beyza who of course just entered work again just a small smile to his close friend.

“How are you doing Sill?” beyza asked softly, hugging her best friend warmly.

“I’m good! Very good!” silvia replied excitedly. “Where have you been this week? Being connected can not, let alone give news.” he said again. Pinching Beyza's arm. Hearing this question Beyza just laughed a little while trying to reply to her best friend's anxious pinch.

“It's a good thing this company Bey has your mother. If it's mine, I'll take you from home to work!” seloroh Silvia again.

“Eh, spooky you know. Don't get dong Sill, can't be rude.” reply Beyza amused. His best friend is really easy going with anything. Beyza knew Silvia was just joking.

Silvia's character was formed since her long stay in London. Beyza and Silvia met as they both continued their studies at one of the Fashion Universities in London.

Because both Indonesians, Beyza and Silvia are finally easy to get close. At that time Silvia felt able to treat longing in her homeland when meeting Beyza. Beyza and Silvia chatted loudly during the trip to the eighth floor where their workspace was located.

“I went to mom's room first yes Sill.” said Beyza as soon as the door of the eighth floor elevator opened.

“Oke.” reply Silvia brandishing her thumb. He then waved briefly at Beyza and walked out of the elevator. Beyza then proceeded to the tenth floor where her mother's office was located.

Beyza knocked on her mother's office door. Ask permission to enter while mentioning his name. What Beyza is doing is a fixed procedure for this company. Although the company belongs to Beyza's mother, Beyza remains a professional staff.

As soon as Beyza mentioned her name, she had not yet opened the door, Beyza's mother had already opened it first.

Beyza's mother pulls Beyza and hugs her tightly in longing. Beyza who also felt the same way hugged her mother just as tightly. This week felt like a long time. Her mother's warm embrace made Beyza almost shed her tears again.

“How are you doing nak?” ask Beyza's mom.

“Alhamdulillah good Mom. Mom how are you?” reply Beyza.

“Alhamdulillah is very good, although we miss you very much.” replied Beyza's mother. That morning Beyza and her mother spent time giving up their longing for each other.

“How are you there son? Kid Uinseann how is it?”

“Good ma'am, thank God everything is fine. Mas Uinseann also thank God good.” replied Beyza. Beyza knows, the news he conveyed was just the news that his family wanted to hear, especially for his parents.

Beyza doesn't want her parents to worry. Their concern is very great for Beyza, as well as his concerns.

“Bapak how is bu?” beyza asked, trying to shift the conversation towards her mother.

“Bapak good son. Every day ask you how it is. Though every afternoon also telfonin you.” said mother Beyza crispy. Beyza smiled hearing this.

For 24 years he lived with his parents, it must have been hard for everything if it had to be suddenly separated.

“Frequently go home son. Invite your husband, father will also be happy if you two often go home.” beyza again can only smile at his mother's request. Beyza obviously wants the same thing. She wants a good home.

“Insyaallah mom. Later Bey conveyed to Uinseann mas ya.” Beyza replied with full doubt to his heart. Beyza then said goodbye to her mother to start her work that was delayed during her absence.

LeBlanc is a large company that produces exclusive parfumes. His brand has been widely known to people even some of his signature already has export quality. The company has been working with Beyza's mother's company for a long time.

When they issue new brand signatures, LeBlanc companies often ask Beyza's mother to help launch their new products.

“This year the theme is ‘monochrome’ yes..” says Beyza slowly. “The planning and concept should not be half-and-half. Must be really mature.” he said again. Beyza thinks this theme is a little ‘tricky’ in its execution.

Silvia agreed with Beyza. He himself had already briefly read his proposal. This theme is often considered simple and easy. Unfortunately, that assumption often makes the planner off guard and ultimately do not get maximum results.

“Luckily the product sample also already has Bey. The first product has also been sent to us, so we can explore more.” said Silvia.

“Oh yes one more, the names and visualizations of the models to be leased by LeBlanc are also included. They prepared everything nicely.” added Silvia.

Beyza smile. Silvia is an excellent and meticulous working partner. That is why Beyza recommended Silvia to be recruited into their company. She knows what we need.

“Design products tend to be masculine yes.” comments Beyza.

“Yep, but the models they hire are all female. And on page eighteen there is a statement that the target market is women. Launching this year is completely different from the themes that have been adopted by LeBlanc.” said Silvia.

“If we use the concept of suits how Bey?” ask Silvia later.

“Konsep suits is most suitable and safe for a concept like this, unfortunately with the monochrome theme the choice will be very limited and if we are not careful the output the result will be monotonous and impressed boring.” said Beyza issued his opinion.

Silvia admits Beyza's opinion has a point.

“Maybe we should find more references for this Bey.” said Silvia, thinking to find ideas.

“Yes, you're right Sill. When is the project deadline Sill?” beyza agreed.

“Four months from now Bey.” replied Silvia.

“Let’s do our magic together dear.” reply Beyza on Silvia. Silvia smiled and nodded confidently at Beyza. Challenge accepted's.

Beyza straightened her stiff back from sitting for a long time. There have been many references that he sought both from the internet and from the history of fashion shows owned by famous designers and seniors while studying in London first.

Lots of good and unique references, unfortunately no one can attract the heart of Beyza. Beyza glanced at Silvia. Silvia herself also seemed to be still searching, looking from the look of her focused and serious face.

Beyza took a long breath. He then re-opened LeBlanc's proposal sheet. On the list of models that leased the LeBlanc company, Beyza stopped and took a look around.

There were three photos of the model that he found. All three are models that currently have big names. One of the model photos on the list caught Beyza's attention.

The female model in the photo looks very pretty. With a tall body, jet-black hair along the shoulders, and a high confident gaze made the model look very character. The shape of her face shows the natural beauty of Indonesian women.

Seeing this Beyza instantly got an idea what kind of clothes she wanted to make. Presumably this beautiful model provides inspiration for Beyza. He will be the muse for the project this time.

Beyza then looked at the model's biodata. 'Dian Agnes Pramuditya' his name.
