MY LOVELY AUTHOR'S

THE FIGURE BEHIND THE STALKER PART 2

            “Which one did you choose, Asha?” Arata's mother looked at me with a curious look. Arata's mother was curious about the choice I dropped on five dresses designed by her son-Arata.

            I looked at the five dresses and noticed the advantages and disadvantages of the five drees designed by Arata himself. The first dress was a white dress with a skirt that bloomed long, with a rose decoration that spread in part of her clothes even though it was not full. Imagining myself wearing these clothes, I already felt that I would be the center of attention on the show and I didn't really like being in the limelight. The second dress is a black dress that this time is long but does not bloom. Unlike the first dress that blooms on the bottom, the second dress this time makes users will show their body shape because the dress is made with a fitting body size.

            The third dress is a golden dress similar to the second dress that makes users will show their body shape to others. What distinguishes the second and third dress is the collar and arm. The second dress has a covered collar and long sleeves that cover the body of the user, while the third dress wears a collar and sleeves with a dreamy material that has an illusory purpose to others as if the clothes are open on the neck and arms,

            The fourth dress is a sea blue dress that has a length below the knee on the front and on the back of the tail. If the previous three dresses show elegance to the user, then this fourth dress will make the user show his cute side and give an adorable impression. Then the fifth dress and it looks like my choice will fall on the fifth dress. This last dress is rosegold colored. The shape is simple, not too fit the body and not too open. In my eyes this dress looks more suitable to my character, because the shape is simple but the rosegold color makes the dress no longer look simple.

            “Yang fifth. Can I try the fifth dress in rosegold?” I looked at Ms. Arata and the smiling boutique manager at my choice.

            “Sure, Miss.” The boutique manager picked up the dress and pointed towards the dressing room where I could try on the dress.

            “Good choice, Asha. I also agree with your choice.”

            With the help of some female employees, I tried the dress and showed it to Ms. Arata. Who would have thought, the dress really fits in my body and there is absolutely no mistake in its size.

            “How according, Mother?” ask me a little doubt.

            “Yes God! Asha you're really pretty with that dress. No one Arata likes to design clothes for you, you really look different just by using that dress, Asha!”

            After seeing the happy face of Ms. Arata, I thought I had enough to choose the clothes that I would use for the invitation to the premiere of the film Love Like Ectasy.  But ... reality did not match the expectations in my mind. I still have to try the other four dresses, because Arata has already paid for the five dresses for me and every time I show the dress I try, Arata's mother will take a picture of me. Then the picture will definitely be sent to Arata as proof.

            “Thank you for visiting, Mistress and Miss.” The boutique manager gave her farewell to me after I and Ms. Arata brought five sets of dresses along with her shoes each that Arata had ordered and paid for.

            After returning the farewell sentence, Arata's mother and I got into the car and prepared to return. But ... Before the car we were riding in walked, I asked a question that made me a little curious.

            “Did Mom always bring a lot of bodyguards when out of the residence like now?”

            Arata's mother shook her head. “No. Usually I will only bring one bodyguard. But ... Arata and Kendra are worried about you because your family's arsonist is still undiscovered. So those two kids Mom specifically asked for a lot of escorts when taking you out of the house.”

            Stare at the many bodyguards and escort cars that followed our car and led the way, opening the way, I finally knew the reason Arata asked me to continue living in his residence and not allow me to return to my apartment. More than I expected, Arata was worried about me.

            Drrrt ...

            Just about to get out of the car, my phone shook. I thought the call was a call from Arata. But seeing a foreign number appear on my phone screen, I realized my guess was wrong.

            “Halo ..” I answered the call as I got out of the Wiyarta family car.

            “Am I talking to Miss Asha?” From the speaker phone, I heard a fairly heavy sound typical of men's voices that have passed in the 40s.

            “It's true. If I may know, who am I talking to right now?”

            “I am a detective who takes care of the Miss family house fire case. If I can .. I would like to meet Miss. Can it?”

            “Sure, Asha. You can get out, but please bring some bodyguards to accompany you, Asha!”

            Was ... I wanted to reject a bodyguard that might look flashy to me. But seeing the look on Mother Arata's face that instantly changed alarmed at the reason I came out, I had no choice but to accept the request.

            “Alright, Mom. I'll go with those guards.”

            “One more ... I will ask Pak Raya to come with you, Asha.”

            I could only nod my head at the request from Arata's mother. Obtaining permission, I immediately opened a mobile phone speck that connected me with someone who called me. “We can meet, Sir.”

            Not long after the car owned by Wiyarta who was about to enter the garage, turned back to take me to the police station which was the location of my meeting with the detective who contacted me. Behind me was a car containing four bodyguards while in my car there were two bodyguards, one of whom was a driver.

            “Nona Asha.” As soon as he arrived in front of the police station, Pak Raya immediately greeted me and gave her greetings to me.

            I was a little clumsy to receive that greeting considering I was not part of Wiyarta and was not used to receiving this preferential treatment. Plus there were six bodyguards escorting me, making me feel even more clumsy with the situation.

            “Nona Asha?” A man in his fifties with gray hair, but his body was still firm and his firm voice, greeted me.

            “Yes, Sir. I'm Asha. Did Father??” I asked with some hesitation, considering the last time I came here, I don't remember meeting this person before me.

            “I Laksmana, the detective investigating the Miss.” family case

            “Greetings, Sir.”

            The Admiral paused for a moment to see the six escorting guards behind me as well as the lawyer standing by my side. The eyes of the Admiral saw one by one the people who followed me.

            “Please forgive me if I'm presumptuous, Miss.  I know someone next to Miss is Miss's lawyer. But six men behind Miss, who?”

            I chuckled as I felt a little uneasy explaining my situation. I had expected this to happen. The six men who followed in black suits, who wouldn't ask?

            “They ... bodyguards assigned by someone to look after me, Mr.”

            Admiral gawked at the sight of the six bodyguard men standing behind me and stood guard with strapping faces. “I don't know if Miss is an important person who should be escorted to wherever Miss goes.”

            I chuckle at the words. “I'm not an important person, sir. The one with the important status is ... “

            I thought that by stopping my line, the Admiral in front of me would notice. But it didn't.

            “Who has important status, Miss Asha?”

            Looking at Admiral, I know that there are people in this country who do not follow the news and do not know that I am Arata's lover.
