LeMin - 005

Verda parked her car in the parking lot of a five-star hotel. In front of the lobby lies a large banner that is now filled with young girls who wear green clothes and combined with gold. The young and energetic girls, that was what Verda had in mind as she crossed the lobby.

Today Verda attended the gathering of Fiancee, the fandom name of the idol group Fancy. Today's agenda includes watching with the Fancy Japan Tour concert DVD, discussion of Fancy's latest album, to games, quizzes, and other fun offered by the organizers.

Verda was wearing a green channel dress over her knees, combined with a golden cardigan that instantly stole the show. Verda is clearly the most senior gathering participant when compared to other participants who are mostly still ABG.

At the registration desk, Verda showed an invitation that was immediately exchanged for a goodie bag containing one cup of iced coffee, a pack of cookies with the Fancy logo, and other fankit in the form of a strip photo, polaroid photo, and a photo, memo books, roll posters, to acrylic keychains from Fancy members.

Verda commented that her smile saw at the entrance of the gathering room decorated with standing banners every Fancy member who seemed to welcome the arrival of the gathering participants.

The gathering participants were seen waiting in line to take pictures next to the standing banner of the nine Fancy members.

Queues piled up on the standing banner of a member named Jehun, considering Jehun is the idol of a million people.

I want to take a picture too! But who's for help? Inner Verda.

"Beautiful, can you please take a picture of me?" tanya Verda stopped the steps of the two ABG boys who had just finished taking photos.

"OK, Ahjumma," said the two ABGs.

Verda is known for being called ahjumma, which means aunt. 

"Don't call Ahjumma, I'm not that old yet right," Verda grinned. "Call me Eonni."

Eonni means sister.

"Okay, Eonni," they said.

Verda immediately posed beside the standing banner of Jehun, ignoring the skeptical gaze of the ABG who seemed to think for what aunt to join this event? Not aware of age? Refuse old?

Verda observed the photo taken by the ABG, Verda clucked upset because he looked short in the photo, even though today he has worn pump shoes with twelve inches right.

MC began to open a gathering that was greeted with tremendous excitement from the participants. The sea of golden green light from the light stick of the Fiancee adds to the excitement of the show with the concert footage.

Verda cried hysterically, remembering the failure of watching the concert she was so eagerly waiting for. He has bought VIP tickets, airline ticket accommodations, hotels, and rented Teletubbies costumes. Failing to see a concert really upset him.

Not to mention, the package contains a treasure, in the form of a collection of super-rare photo cards that are lost due to the mistakes of their colleagues.

It's called falling down the stairs!

The show continued with a cover dance from the guest stars, the boys who Verda said clearly could not be compared to the members of Fancy.

"That boy, don't feel like Jehun just because he's part of Jehun's party!" nyinyir Verda looked at the performance of the boys who danced nimbly on the stage.

Nine boys were under twenty, which is how Verda guessed the age of Fancy's cover dance participants.

Well, Fancy members themselves do have an early age range of twenty years. The oldest member was only twenty-six years old. Jehun, who became Verda's idol, was only twenty-four years old.

But Verda's stare clearly could not be compared to the excitement of the audience cheering cheering the name of the member Fancy.

Well, that's it, Verda who was just the first time to attend the gathering of Fiancee finally quite entertained, at least can treat a little bit of his regret for failing to watch the concert.

Meeting people who both idolize Fancy, supporting Fancy with all their souls, bodies, and wallets.

"So, who's biased, Eonni?" ask Kiki, ABG who photographed Verda.

"Jehun," said Verda spontaneously.

"If I were, like Jonah the most!" sahut Mimi, Kiki's friend.

"I also like Jonah, but prefer Taewoo, but Milk likes it too" Kiki chimed in.

"I've got Jonah and Jehun! Their chemistry is strongest" Mimi added.

Verda frowned, caught in the conversation about the ship. Ship here means pairing bias or idol in romantic relationships. Verda clearly does not support these ships because it usually makes fans' opinions dribbled which results in bad gossip. For example, rumors about Jonah and Jehun dating, of course, that is not true. Verda as a fanatic fan clearly does not agree if her idol has a romantic relationship! The idol belongs to the fans, such is the flow of belief espoused by Verda.

...*****...

The gathering finally ended. The two hours that left the participants' voices exhausted from screaming hysterically, laughing, and drowning in excitement.

"See you at the next gathering, Eonni," Kiki and Mimi say goodbye to Verda.

"Yes, see you later" said Verda.

Verda came home with a goodie bag containing Fancy trinkets. Verda even managed to get the latest Fancy album as the main prize at the doorprize event. Verda bought the album and got a photo card for Jehun. 

Verda's steps came to a halt as she entered the elevator and met the eye of a man with a cell phone attached to her right ear.

"Verda?" said the man.

"'A-Abim.. ," muttered Verda.

...*****...

Verda did not expect to see Abim again. Years ago they never met after a divorce that happened fifteen years ago.

The man was named Abhimanyu Baskara, commonly called Abim. Verda married Abim when she was only eighteen, their marriage was due to an arranged marriage made by both of their parents. Abim is five years older than Verda. 

Abim divorces Verda because Verda refuses when Abim demands his duties as a wife. Verda refuses when Abim wants to touch her. Their marriage lasted only a month.

And now they meet again, by chance. 

Abim even invited Verda to just coffee at the cafe in the five-star hotel.

"I hardly recognize you anymore, Verda, you've changed so much" said Abim, who did not take his eyes off Verda.

Verda looked at the face of Abim, an exotic brown-skinned man who appeared more mature with wrinkles that were clearly visible as a sign of aging on his skin. Abim has a round face, a big nose, and thick lips.

"Yes, it's been a long time, yes, we didn't meet" Verda said.

"I happened to go to this city because there are clients I have to meet" Abim said.

"Oh so," replied Verda coldly.

"Oh yes, Verda, seeing you again, I want to apologize for what happened between us that has passed, I am really ashamed to have been a man who forced his will," abim said he looked sincere.

Verda stared bitterly at the man who had once tried to rape her, even though they were tied to the bond of marriage, but Verda obviously did not want to be forced like that.

Verda clearly could not forget how Abim shouted in anger, calling for a swearing oath to Verda who was then unwilling to serve his biological needs.

"Here is Abim, it has been a long time! Well, even though I can't completely forget your harsh words to me!" Verda commented a cynical smile.

"Hmm, yes, I realized that I was wrong," Abim looked very sorry.

"Oh yeah, Verda, by the way, are you remarried?" ask Abim.

Abim could see Verda who just threw a cold look at him. 

"'I will be married in three months" Abim said. 

"Oh, congratulations to you," Verda said in a smile.

Abim felt palpitating again looking at Verda's smile. Moreover, Verda now looks very attractive, even more attractive than his future wife.

"Verda, it's not too late, but, I don't mind if you want to come back to me," Abim said suddenly with confidence.

"Look, I've been so successful! My company is growing so much! If you come begging me, I'll make sure I choose you" Abim continued.

Verda commented on her smile, she really did not expect that her ex-husband still remained like this. Arrogant and feel most needed.

"Abim, thank you but you deserve to be happy with the woman who chose you" Verda said.

"Ck, Verda, you don't be so arrogant! Thank you that I, your ex-husband, gave you another chance!" Abim clucked in annoyance.

There was a flash of anger in his eyes.

"Goodbye Abim, may you be happy" Verda moved from her seat.

"Make sure you'll regret rejecting me, Verda!" abim's tone was high.

I will regret it if I have to go back to you, Inner Verda while leaving the cafe.

"'God!" raung Abim was full of wrath.

The man felt his pride was again trampled by the woman.
