Not a Substitute

A23 The Goddess

Bambi appeared on stage. She walks like a woman. Many spectators cheered for him. I heard whistling everywhere.

“Goodnight everyone.” Bambi gave her sweet smile. “My name is Bambi. Can also be called ..” Bambi makes her male voice. “Bambang.”

All the spectators laughed. Bambi continued with his female voice. “I will perform a song from a famous Diva namely Titi DJ. The song is called The Goddess. Hope you all can enjoy it.”

The audience applauded.

Bambi holds the standing mic and starts singing.

“Although my soul is wounded. Until almost suicide.” Bambi makes her male voice. “Men ...” continues with her female voice. “... which can live alone in this world.”

The song ends with an audience applause. “Encore. Encore.” The audience asked Bambi to sing again.

“I will sing one more because there are still people who will perform on this stage. Whose applause?”

The audience applauded.

Bambi sings another one. The show was finished and followed by a show from the next person.

Bambi entered the dressing room and saw his daughter who had fallen asleep. She cleaned the make-up on her face and changed her clothes and carried the princess home.

“Cut.”

Filming complete.

The filming location moved quickly to the school area where Violet attended school. Because the film is low budget so everything is done quickly.

At school.

Filming begins with the director's instructions. “Ready. Action.”

Violet's classmates gather and ridicule Violet. “Papa Violet. Papa Violet hunk.”

“Papa Violet is not breaking.” Violet defended her father. But the atmosphere is getting hotter. Violet's classmates kept taunting her father.

Violet got on the blackboard and hit her friend. His friend cried and finally grieved the disciples parents.

Bambang's coming. He apologized for his daughter's behavior. While the other parents said, “Surely because Violet does not have a mother so her behavior is bar-bar like this."

“Pardon Violet's behavior. I will educate him even harder.”

“Papa don't apologize. Violet is wrong. Those who despise Papa.” Violet doesn't want her father to apologize.

“One more time I'm sorry.” Bambang took Violet home. He did not want to extend his business because soon he had to prepare for the show.

Bambang held Violet above his head.

“Papa why did you apologize? Violet is not wrong.”

“But hitting that guy is wrong.”

“That's because they teased papa ben ..” Violet didn't want to say a word of hate because she didn't want to hurt her father.

“Violet what's it like?” Bambang raised his head up to look at Violet.

“Like this ..” Violet was showing her fists.

“It should be like this let them pass out.” Bambang pointed his fist towards the top of Violet's chin.

“Later their teeth must have fallen out.”

Bambang and Violet laughed together imagining her friend's toothless tooth.

The first day of filming is complete and will continue tomorrow.

Hannah and Joshua went home.

“They're fast motion, Brother. After finishing shooting directly berberes and filming elsewhere.”

“They have no funds. There are even unpaid actors.”

“Really?”

“True. My honor is also half of the usual.”

“But I have a feeling that the film will be a great success.”

“Because there is me?”

“Because there is a Brother. Also due to other stories and cast that are also good.”

“But what about my acting?”

“Acting Sister is getting better. I think this is Big Brother's best acting all along.”

“I only have one worry. What if Audrey grows up later she sees me as a woman.”

“Audrey must have understood because this is one of the ways her papa is supporting herself and her mother.”
