In the main hall where the concert took place.
Aditya couldn't bear to hear a loud bang because he was standing not far from the stage, from where there were so many loudspeakers. He and Frita soon separate from Julio who accidentally meets his childhood friend.
“Let those young ones watch together. We find our own place, yuk,” said Aditya.
Frita glanced at her future husband flirtatiously. “We are also not too old times!”
But the majority of Shelly D concertgoers are Junior High School and High School teenagers, who are certainly a few years below them. So Frita agreed they both had to find a more comfortable place than near the stage.
“Look, those who are not in part standing in the front row at screaming like they want to doomsday,” Frita said to Aditya while pointing into the distance.
There appeared a girl fainted after screaming incoherently and making the human line even more chaotic.
“New ages this time I went to a concert,” Aditya said.
“Oh, yes?” Frita looked in disbelief.
“And, it turns out it doesn't feel too fun. Excited, but there is less,” continued the man while scratching his head.
“What is it?”
“Now, I don't know either, Frita. Hahaha.”
They finally found a small cafe standing on the west side of the hall. There are somehow twelve cafes and outlets that sell Shelly D souvenirs there. There are hundreds of T-shirts on display autographed Shelly D (signatures of course prints), glasses and mugs illustrated by the artist, as well as stickers, posters, and not to miss: a biography of Shelly D, published a month ago.
“A talented young artist has published a biography. Don't you think it's too early?” ask Frita.
“Not. His name is also looking for money,” replied Aditya makes sense.
They laugh immediately.
At one of the cafes Aditya and Frita order a drink and chat. Enjoy Shelly D songs that, although not too Aditya memorized, can also comfort his heart after all the events that passed lately.
Aditya was also especially entertained after seeing how happy Julio and his friends and other audience were. They jumped tirelessly from the first song to now arrive at the fifth song. When Shelly D disappears behind the curtain of the stage for a break, Julio searches for them.
“To where have you been? Don't watch it too?” ask the young man.
“Nonton too, really. From here it looks,” replied Frita while sipping a glass of lemonade.
“Yes, try from the front, definitely more steady,” said the cousin.
“Here even more okay,” said Aditya, “because in addition to being able to see Shelly D from afar, can also watch you his amazing fans.”
Julio just laughed hearing that.
After the next song is performed again, soon Julio moves away from them. Frita and Aditya didn't say much this time, not even about their well-rounded wedding plans. It was because they were too swept away by the sound of Shelly D.
Before long, Aditya held onto his stomach. “Open, this department!”
“Why, Mas?”
“My stomach is heartburn,” says Aditya.
He left Frita there to find a toilet. Really in a place that is not bright enough this way, because the concept of Shelly D concert presents a full theme of purple and dark green, looking for a toilet door feels to walk miles away in the midst of fog.
After finally meeting the toilet, Aditya still has to wait.
“Damn it, who the hell is in there?” grunts in the heart. His stomach couldn't stand it and he just wanted to explode.
Lucky before he dirty his pants, the old toilet user came out, and Aditya was surprised to find Rudi there. Since the mission in Thailand, they have never met again. But this time we met at this place. At the concert Shelly D is a hit and loved by teenagers.
“Lha, how do you do here, Rud?” ask Aditya in shock.
“Loe itself what?”
Rudi looked clumsy, and probably embarrassed, when Aditya caught him in this building. It turns out that Rudi had not been dating a girl for long and her boyfriend brought her here.
Yes, they chatted for quite a while after Aditya completed the call of nature.
“You how else, Dit? He forced me to go here. Well, count while spending my cut rations,” said Rudi while still looking clumsy.
In the front hall of the toilet door it looks passing by the children of Junior High School and High School that makes Rudi awkward. Aditya asks why he does not relax, but during the mission in Thiland, Rudi is a calm person.
“Yes, you don't know yet what my boyfriend's friends say,” said Rudi rather liquid. This time, he seems to be talking about something funny.
“What did they say?”
“Children High School. Why the hell are they different from my time SMA?” grunts Rudi.
“Why indeed?” reply Aditya impatiently.
“Yes, they told my boyfriend that I look like om-om!”
However, a trip to the main hall makes Aditya accidentally hit a concert attendant with an identity card hanging around his neck. The officer turned to and fro without looking ahead while walking.
Brak!
“Ouch! Sorry, Brother! I'm on the road not looking!” said the officer who looked not much different age with the Julio.
“What's wrong,” says Aditya short.
The officer then stepped aside, but Aditya knew the officer had just accidentally disconnected the cable backstage.
Rudi says, “Dit, what's there?” He saw Aditya looking jongkong behind the darkness backstage.
“Cable broken. What's the cable anyway?” Aditya.
Rudy approached. “That was the wrong officer. Try me see.”
Rudi checked the cable, and he immediately knew it was a cable that connected the main musical instrument, the guitar, with a loudspeaker. He said, a concert this grand can still use this kind of tool?
“Is there no wireless?” ask Rudi in wonder.
Aditya said, “Well, it's none of our business. What is clear, the sound of the guitar is still also heard.”
Indeed Shelly D concert was not at all disturbed even though one of the important cables broke. So, after Aditya returned to Frita, he said, “This is not a live concert, you know. I just found out the secret.”
“You mean?” asked Frita who was accompanied by Julio.
Although Shelly D is still singing, Julio decides to go to her cousin's place because of thirst, and after all, it turns out the view from this cafe is even better.
“Yes, Shelly D is actually lip sync,” whispered Aditya to Frita.
“Aaan anyway?” cut Julio.
Frita whispers Julio for being bad at the cafe people who might hear what they are talking about.
“Ah, that's right!” julio said in disbelief.
“This knows me Rudi. We just revealed that fact,” Aditya said.
Julio looks disappointed, but Shelly D is beautiful and he understands if an artist is forced to do lip sync. It's not entirely the artist's fault. It could be the means and tools at the concert venue is less supportive to perform live.
So, bored and knowing the fact Shelly D is not performing live this time, the Julio decides they just go home. Rudi waved his hands resignedly because he had to accompany the girlfriend who is now in the front row of the audience, busy shouting and calling the name of the idol.
In the deserted parking lot, Aditya, Frita, and Julio did not go home immediately. Even Frita had not joined them, because she still had to go to the toilet.
“You guys go first, I'll follow,” he said go to the toilet.
“Drinks from the cafe huh?” Aditya.
“Looks!” answer Frita.
In the parking lot, Julio and Aditya accidentally see a hooded man again trying to enter a car. Suspicious behavior. He could not open the car door and made Aditya suspect he was a thief.
“Hey, you want to steal, yes?!” aditya Bentak.
The figure looked panicked, but did not run away.
Aditya comes up to her and almost hits her, but it turns out that the face behind the hood is Shelly D!
Julio is delighted beyond measure.
Shelly D said, “Take me out of here. My concert is over, but the audience is on the craze!”
“Oh, there is a condition dong,” Julio said.
“What is it? Justsaytheword. Please, spiel so I can leave soon!”
“Can we take a photo together? Just two? We'll take you anywhere you want!” julio said girang takkalang.
Of course Shelly D is willing.
Aditya became an impromptu photographer, making Frita who came shortly afterwards amazed. Seeing Aditya who is cold and great at fighting it is obedient to a funny young man to get the best photo with the idol!
“Well, this is great!” julio said after the fiftieth snap.
“Finally round!” exclaim Aditya relieved.
Frita and Shelly D laughed looking at them. And, the car drove, leaving the area, penetrating the night atmosphere in Bandung.
