"I'm sure one hundred percent that this film will be the best film most iconic at the end of the year." Arfat Nahlil, a highly experienced producer, commented with confidence.
"We hope so too, Mr. Arfat, because almost everyone who is currently involved in the film says so." Selin responded and was immediately supported by a nod by Zoya as well as the others.
After the shooting event for the film ended, the final agenda was to have lunch with Irpan, the director and their film producer Arfat Nahlil to establish a friendship rope, there were also some things to discuss.
"Edrin, Zoya," Arfat's call sends the two men's attention to the source of the sound. Arfath smiled proudly at the two.
"The chemistry is very good, I really like it. I believe in you both." he praised. Edrin and Zoya replied with a smile and a polite nod of the head.
"Thank you Mr. Arfat, it's an honor for us to star in this film." Edrin said, Arfat patted the man on the back. Zoya responds with a smile until Arfat's gaze is focused on her.
"Zoya Hardiswara, mm. Zoya Maheswary." she nodded her head.
"Min-law of Mr. Zeinn Agyan." he continued. Just like before, Zoya still only responded with a smile.
"It should have been Mr. Ethan as a big star. His father is very talented." Arfat still remembers well how when he first met Agyan, he managed to attract the man to become a famous star twenty-five years ago.
It seems, fate was indeed on Agyan's side at the time considering that the man was in a difficult situation with Freya when the woman was pregnant with Ethan and Arasy. God sent Arfat to Agyan and they worked together with a mutually beneficial result. Even Agyan managed a great success.
"Unfortunately she has absolutely no interest in jumping directly." said Zoya recalled her husband's reluctance to the entertainment world.
"Except as a stunt double if his wife has an intimate scene." said Selin.
"He stood at the front." Irpan, the director chimed in with a sentence that managed to make everyone chuckle as well as Zoya, but she silently grimaced, grimacing, Zoya can imagine her husband's expression if he is among them.
He can also laugh at the atmosphere, otherwise there will be no laughter at their table.
"Isn't Freya Maheswary also a model in her day?" manager Edrin spoke up. Zoya nods, recalling some of Freya's stories that her in-laws were popular models before marrying Agyan. Even after marriage, Freya was involved in a fashion show.
"Family celebrity." one of them clucked.
"Oh, well, how's it going with Arasy?" Arfat then asked about Zoya's sister-in-law who had been steadily leaving the entertainment world.
"He's steady on leaving the entertainment stage, where's the goal?" continued with a gaze that pointed at Zoya. Zoya shook her head.
"I'm not so sure, but all I know is, he went to Spain." Zoya says as necessary as she knows, Arasy also does not say specifically where she really went.
Edrin frowned looking at Zoya.
"Madrid?"
"Valencia?"
"Palma or Barcelona?" the man looked curious. Zoya squinted her eyes, nodding her shoulders indifferently.
"I think you're really curious, you have a crush on Arasy?" guess Zoya, the others just stared at Edrin while waiting for what the answer was. Edrin is clucking.
"Who is the guy who doesn't have a crush on a Zeinn Arasy?"
Men from various circles are often targeting Arasy as the ideal type. Beautiful, tall with pure white skin, talented and never involved in a scandal. He even had a fan of male circles with an amount that could not be said for a bit.
Everyone would only be amazed without anyone interrupting if the name Zein Arasy was mentioned in the nomination.
"She is perfect!' continued Edrin, Arfat and Ipran nodded in agreement. Making the women also nodded, they could not avoid the fact.
As soon as the luncheon and the conversation ended, Zoya with Selin and Edrin and her manager left the restaurant. Arfat and Irpan went home first.
"So your ideal type is also Zeinn Arasy, wow." Selin clucked at Edrin while the four were in the parking lot. Edrin only smiled, then shook his head with a smile.
Selin frowned, especially as Edrin set her sights on Zoya, making Selin and the man's manager also set her sights on Zoya who was taking her phone from inside the clutch.
The woman looked astonished as she saw everyone staring at her. "What's wrong?" tanyanya did not understand.
"ideal type?" Zoya remembers what Selin asked Edrin so she turns her gaze on the handsome man.
"Hmm, I'd rather be like you." the man replied casually, making both managers shake in disbelief and choose to walk towards the car first when Zoya hit Edrin's hand muscles and managed to make the man complain of pain.
"Be careful, my hands are precious!"
"Don't be so reckless!" threaten Zoya with bulging eyes.
"Your manager is just my ideal type. What's wrong if my idel type is you, doesn't mean I want you!" edrin's length ended with a grudge of the man. But then he smiled, seeing a guilty look on Zoya's face.
"Beautiful, kind, assertive, and .. sexy!" what Edrin said managed to get Zoya to round her eyes again, the woman was preparing to hit but Edrin held back.
"Joking, Zoy!" she said, this time it was Zoya's turn to cluck.
"Joking, rich we are all familiar." decak the woman who made Edrin chuckle.
"Hmm, papa is not rich. Provided she's sweet, meek and sexy!" this time the man looked serious about what he said. Zoya was grieving, folding her hands to her chest.
"Your partner candidate?"
"Hmm, I want that rich one."
"Why not being firm, stubborn–" Zoya stopped her sentence as Edrin looked like she was going to catch him. But Zoya knows if the man is just bluffing.
"Until next week's meeting Zoya." he said later, for this man looks so sweet with a thin smile and a wave of hands. He walked back to his car where the man's engine was on.
"Currently," Zoya threw away her gaze with a dismissive smile at the man. Not bad, Edrin is good at building good communication even though it looks annoying.
Zoya remembers next week that she will start filming with the man. This time Zoya sighed, she had to prepare for filming for approximately three months in three big cities and also abroad. Eastern Europe was the choice for the final part of the film.
***
Zoya is anxious when she returns home and sees that Freya's car is parked at the gate. He panics, of course, considering that Ethan and Naina are not home at the same time.
Zoya develops a honeymoon plan between Ethan and Naina. He missed one thing. He did not think at all about the visits Freya who often came to the house to just meet him with Ethan.
"Tell Mr. Ethan out of town or out of the country because there's something to take care of" suggested Selin who seemed to have no way of tricking Freya.
"It can be, Ma'am. But if Mommy confirms to the agency building how? Or to Mommy Rachel straight away? Worse Ethan left without Randy, his scheduler, so impossible."
"What am I supposed to say?" Zoya is dizzy herself. Selin was silent, his brain was completely unable to cooperate, he could only tap his index finger on the handle of the steering wheel.
Zoya brushes her hair back, thinking hard how to distract the mother from Ethan who is not home later.
"Or we're the princess back, you come to the house of Mbak." proposed Selin, it seems only that thing that crossed his mind. He turned to Zoya who shook her head, rejecting her proposal.
"Why?" selin asked, he frowned as Zoya just stared at her phone, an incoming call from Freya adorning the phone screen. Selin patted his head. Maybe Zoya should have just taken a honeymoon with Ethan and Naina and reasoned to everyone that Ethan was going on vacation.
Well, maybe it should be like that, but now what is power Nothing can be done.
With a resigned look, Zoya immediately shifted the green icon and placed the flat object in her ear. "Hallo dear," Freya heard greeting him joyfully as usual at the end there. Zoya could even see that her mother-in-law was smiling.
"Yes, hello Mother."
"You still, busy, honey?"
"Mother in your house, but the gate is closed. The house also seems to be quiet, Naina where?" Freya bombards Zoya with questions. Zoya smiles to relax herself before answering Freya's question.
"Zoya is coming home soon Mother." he said briefly, the rest he will explain to Freya later after meeting the woman.
"Ohh, jude, if that's it. Mother wait, yeah."
"Yes, Mother."
Zoya sighed after the call was interrupted. He looked at Freya who was still standing in front of the gate of his house. Zoya has to tell Freya a lie about Ethan's absence at home, and Zoya hopes Freya will believe whatever she has to say.
