Me, What It Is

CHAPTER 40 ~ Ahead of Press Conference ~

Ardi presses the bell of Nico's apartment nonstop, threesome

they waited for Nico to open the door. But there was not the slightest sign of Nico . They had been standing at the door of the apartment for a long time.

"Gue pincers continue to make it noisy" said Ardi annoyed as his hand continued to press the bell.

Ardi tried to be patient not to bang on the door. But this time Nico really tested his patience.

"Don't kill yourself" Dito said anxiously.

"What" said Ardi immediately panicked.

"Loe anyway, from yesterday was taught here never want" said Dito blamed Ardi.

"Gue is busy, my thesis is told to re-print only" said Ardi speeding up pressing the doorbell.

The normally calm Rommy now began to look anxious.

"Are we breaking down ?" ask Dito.

"We can be prosecuted for destruction" replied Rommy.

Ardi grew even more panicked, finally starting to bang on the door.

"Nic, if you don't open the door either, we'll break the door" Ardi shouted still banging on the door.

The door of the apartment next door opened, a female bully was nongol in front of the door. It seemed like he was bothered by the commotion caused by the sound of the banging of Ardi's door and comrades.

Rommy apologized for their actions that disturbed the calm of the bule.

"Where is this? " asked Ardi, the man's face was pale.

"Nico, it's not possible to kill yourself.no" said Dito shaking his head strongly.

"Loe didn't see that he was depressed, almost four years we were together, you ever see him like ama chick to kayak gini ? loe ever see him sad until like this ?" yelled Ardi at Dito.

"What's crus ? I have to believe that if he is really suicidal" cried Dito right in front of Ardi's face, they both really panicked.

"We ask the manager of the building, who knows if he can help open the door" said Rommy.

Nico's friend who is always calm and wise is starting to feel worried. Hurry up they go find the manager of the apartment building. Not far away they stepped, suddenly heard the door opened.

Rommy and her friends immediately turned away, Nico leaned against the door. His friends immediately turned to approach, Dito hugged, Ardi hit Nico's arm while Rommy just silently looked.

"We thought you.." Ardi's speech was cut off.

"Let's go in" said Rommy quickly.

"What the hell, why don't you come to campus, why don't you pick up our phone, why don't you open the door, why are you like this ?" ardi asked, crying pushing Nico's body.

Ardi's question really does not need to be answered, they both know the reason Nico became like this. The man looked weak uninspired. His attitude changed drastically like there was no hope.

To be honest Ardi was very panicked, imagining the frustrated man being found lifeless in the apartment. Ardi felt most guilty if it happened, because he had refused to be invited to Nico's apartment.

Rommy moves to clean up Nico's messy stuff. The man chose to be busy working instead of cursing, asking, shouting for excuses.

In front of the sink, the man opened his glasses and rubbed his hair in the corner of his eye. Rommy's heart was relieved when she saw Nico appear at the door.

Rommy is determined to always support Nico, accompany and help his best friend solve his problems. Rommy won't let Nico face his own problems. It won't.

"Loe took a bath there to seger" Rommy told Nico while removing food ingredients from the refrigerator.

Nico walks into the bathroom, Ardi sits on the sofa squeezing his hair. The man's stress has not gone away. Dito helped clean up the packaging waste scattered on the table, kitchen, everywhere.

Dito's job is done, the food is almost cooked. Nico came out of the room with a face that looked fresher. But his body is still weak.

"The last time you ate" Dito asked jokingly.

Nico just smiled knot. They had dinner together. Rommy, Dito and Ardi are determined to stay at Nico's apartment. They want to comfort their wounded friends.

By nightfall Ardi and Dito were already sprawled. Nico gives pillows and blankets to those who fall asleep on the sofa.

"You shouldn't have come here, Ardi and Dito must be tired of working on the script. They must have stayed up last night" Nico said as he brought a cup of sachet coffee to Rommy.

They sat together on the balcony of the apartment, Rommy down. The men were very grateful because their bad thoughts did not come true.

"Loe doesn't know how panicked we are, if you care you shouldn't worry people" said Rommy.

"Sorry, I don't want to be like this myself" Nico replied.

"Loe must rise up Nic, don't ruin your life" said Rommy worried.

"Since Reana disappeared, you've had no guidance twice, no matter how many times you don't go to college, you want to extend the active period of students loe?" rommy asked jokingly while grieving.

Nico smiled wryly

"When we stay here, we are already at the end of the semester, you must immediately finish the thesis loe, you can not long slump, loe must settle the affairs of loe ama Reana" rommy said this time at length.

"How's machine? he married another man" said Nico slowly.

"I mean, you have to settle your heart against Reana. Whatever it is not to affect your life" continued Rommy.

"Take Reana or forget Reana" Rommy said.

"Both are loe choices, nothing is easy" replied Nico.

"Loe knows why Reana suddenly married the same master?" ask Rommy.

Nico shook his head, even though he had thought hard, but still found no answer. Last time they met that morning, Reana received Nico's explanation of the girl who teased her.

There was no anger in the eyes of the girl, who was longing and wanting to be together again. But everything changed since Mr. Malvin took him.

Nico recalls events after events that might give clues to Reana's drastic change in attitude.

"Reana's changed since Mr. Malvin picked her up on campus. I'm sure Mr. Malvin did something to her. Reana couldn't have changed that fast" Nico explained their relationship situation, bowing down sadly.

"Loe can't just be quiet and ruin your life like this. Loe forgot ? reana used to hate loe so much but loe kept going, although it was difficult to get close to Reana but you did not despair, until she opened her heart to you. Loe has to revive that spirit again, the spirit of fighting for Reana" asked Rommy.

Nico turned to Rommy with his eyes. The man hesitated, the situation was not the same as now. At that time, the presence of Mr. Malvin actually became a way for him to reach Reana's heart.

What was done by Mr. Malvin actually made Reana afraid and ran towards him. Nico's sincerity to fight for Reana from the interference of Mr. Malvin actually made Reana give her heart to Nico.

"What I have to do Rom, I can't eat Reana" said Nico bowed.

"Mr Malvin will be holding a press conference to report on his company's progress, but I'm sure he will also announce his marriage as news of the marriage has spread among businessmen. They were curious about the news of Mr. Malvin's wedding that seemed sudden" explained Rommy.

"Where do you know ?" ask Nico wonder.

"Mr Malvin has sent an official letter to the editor to invite journalists and mass media representatives, I read on the internet, his show tomorrow in the hotel's conference room, you read the news yourself" rommy's Advice.

"For what ? why should I care about the news of their marriage" asked a disheartened Nico.

"Loe can meet Reana there, she must have attended. Looking for Reana at the Malvin's house was clearly impossible, Reana didn't even go to college and work. The only chance you get to see Reana is on the show" explained Rommy.

Nico was stunned, there was a desire to run Rommy's proposal. But it was also doubtful whether he could break through the defenses of the bodyguards who already knew him. They must have anticipated Nico's presence.

But as Rommy says this is her chance to meet Reana. Nico squeezed his hair rough, Rommy could only stare at his best friend who was pacing around on the balcony in doubt.

That night Nico tried to close his eyes but could not, his mind was still disturbed by Rommy's idea to come to the press conference. The man walked through the living room where his friends were fast asleep.

Nico took a soft drink from the fridge and sat down at the dinner table. Look at the screen of the phone that gave the info will hold a press conference at the hotel. Occasionally glanced at his friends who were still soundly asleep.

Reana looked at the garden from the glass window as she heard a knock on the door. Reana let in. A few girls with all the equipment lined up entered. They are makeup artists and hair and fashion.

The innocent-faced servant girl showed me where to walk in closet. A girl walked in that direction opened the door and entered the room to store clothes and accessories supporting the appearance

"Oh my God" cried the girl as she ran to and fro admiring the beauty of the room that was created to support the appearance of the owner of the house.

The other girls were shocked to hear the girl's scream and were curious to look inside. Reana just stood quietly watching their behavior.

"Gue had never seen a walk in closet as beautiful and luxurious as this" he told the girls who had just entered.

Just like the girl earlier, they were also unceasingly amazed. A girl observes the chandelier lamp with its beautiful hanging crystal ornaments with soft lighting of the lamp color to add aesthetic value.

Another girl even tried the comfort of a sofa that was placed in the middle of the room, while looking at her face behind a mirror.

It is not only the design of the walk in closet that makes them amazed, but the contents of the shelves are neatly arranged with expensive clothes and accessories that they have never seen.

The girls will forget time and forget themselves, if Reana does not come near them. The girls immediately bowed in fear of seeing the girl who mastered the luxury.

It is certain that they are often yelled at by rich girls because of their behavior. I don't know until when they'll get used to seeing that kind of luxury.

Because every time they looked, they would feel amazed by the items that could only be had in delusion. Reana looked at those fears, smiling at them.

"What are you here for ?" ask Reana plain.

The girls were getting scared, Reana's question seemed to quip them coming just to admire the walk in closet. Then they answered their purpose was to decorate Reana.

"When did it start ? "asked Reana again.

"Now, yes, now miss" said one of the girls who was still frightened.

"Why are you afraid ? "asked Reana again.

"Sorry lady, we forgot ourselves because we admired this room" said a girl who looked calmer.

Reana nodded then asked the servant girl to bring drinks and snacks for the girls. The waiter nodded his pardon, the girls were stunned to see Reana's hospitality.

They quickly began the task of dressing Reana. They endlessly admire the beauty of Reana's face, skin and body.

"Aren't you guys used to dressing pretty girls ?" ask Reana.

"Right, but their beauty is mostly due to treatment or even the results of the reshuffle" said the horse-tailed girl, the other girl laughed batedly.

"If the beauty of Miss Reana is a natural beauty, without makeup even the lady already looks beautiful" said another girl.

Reana often heard such words, while in High School, according to her the words were probably just to cheer her up so that she would not have to think about buying cosmetics whose price could drain her income.

The girls look young but their work is very professional. That's thanks to the training they get from where they work.

Some of them are talented girls who are deliberately recruited by famous beauty salons. And some are indeed graduates of Beauty System Education who are professionals in the field of beauty, they join a professional make-up team.

They started their work from makeup, hair, nails to choosing clothes, shoes and accessories that Reana would use.

They are very professional, Reana admires and praises the way they work. They were surprised by Reana's friendly attitude, according to them the rich girls are usually arrogant and a lot of behavior, protest there and like to organize.

Reana was uncomfortable because they always thought she was a girl from a rich family. Reana admits that she is just a poor girl.

But the girls laugh and accuse Reana of being joking or too humble, because they think a girl as beautiful as Reana could not have been born from a poor family. Reana finally gave up on their thoughts.

If traced back to his origins, Papa Reana was a handsome director at his company. While Mama Reana is a beautiful secretary who became an idol in the company.

They fell in love with each other and eventually married until Reana was born. It is not surprising that Reana was born beautiful. It's just that life's difficulties make Reana forget all that.

By noon the girls finished dressing Reana. The innocent-faced servant girl came to bring him a box of jewelry. The girl said that Mr. Malvin asked her to put the jewels on Reana.

The makeup girls were immediately amazed to see the set of jewelry. They guessed the price must be billions. They were more and more amazed at Mr. Malvin who so spoiled his future wife.

But it makes Reana sad, the girl is not willing to accept the gift of the man at all. But this time Reana couldn't resist it.

Reana's appearance could affect people's judgment of Mr. Malvin, and Reana most dislikes being the one who brings a bad image to others.

Reana went down the stairs slowly accompanied by makeup artists and servants. Mr. Malvin was fascinated to see this God-made creature. Without even winking a bit, Mr. Malvin followed Reana's steps until he got to her.

"You're so pretty" said Mr. Malvin, grabbing Reana's hand and kissing the girl's knuckle.

Reana was careless, the makeup girls smiled as they whispered, master Malvin doesn't care about it. His eyes could not see Reana.

Arriving for a press conference, Reana got out of the car guided by her future husband, Mr. Malvin. The man holding Reana's hand entered the hotel lobby.

There is already a lot of waiting for journalists and representatives of the mass media. Be it representatives of print media, electronic media or cyber media (Cybermedia).

As soon as Mr. Malvin and Reana entered the lobby the reporters immediately showered them with a flash of blinding camera blitz. Unknowingly Reana retreated hiding behind master Malvin.

Mr. Malvin smiled, Reana is not used to such situations. The man immediately grabbed Reana's hand and wrapped his hand around the girl's slender waist.

The camera blitz is back to dazzling the eyes. Mr. Malvin immediately invited the reporters into a special press conference room. All that did not escape the sad look of Nico who stood behind the big pole of the hotel lobby.
