One Throne, Two Women

Lean Place

"Number 29!"

"Well! That's my number. I went inside first, yes, Nid.." said Hinata while getting up.

He finally entered the audition room after waiting for an hour and a half.

...

Once inside, Hinata immediately faced three jurors, one of whom she was very familiar with. He knew the man sitting on the right side. Because he's James Carls.

James gave her a small smile. But Hinata did not dare to reply or stare at him again. The woman always remembered her promise to Jessy not to use James into her revenge action later.

"Tell me your name and motivation for this audition!" Speak the voice of another man sitting in the middle.

"My name is Hinata Kirey. I'm interested in the first female character in this music video script. Because he has a tough and elegant character even though he was hurt by the act of cheating his lover with his own best friend," replied Hinata straightforwardly.

Yep. To be honest, he was surprised when he read the script for the first time. Because the story in the script is very describing what he experienced.

About the affair made by the lover with his own best friend. Finally Hinata was immediately determined to get the role of the woman who was hurt. And in just three personal exercises, he was able to remember every sentence of the female character he wanted his role to be.

"Well done. Please show the scene on page 3. When woman A (the woman who was hurt) hit her husband who was caught cheating!" Tell the jury in the middle.

Without many words, Hinata immediately practiced the result of her spiritedness.

...

An hour after her, Hinata had already come home from the audition. He is now in a seafood restaurant. There was someone he was waiting for his presence.

"Sorry to keep you waiting! Anis had a course on her, sister!" Sapa Anis who had just come over to Hinata. Anis is Hinata's distant cousin whom she had met some time ago.

"It's okay. Sit down, Nis. You said you like seafood, right?" Ask Hinata.

"Yes, Brother. Really like!"

"good. Then, just order what you want. Today let Brother treat ya!" Hinata said with a smile.

"Wahh! Barokallah, Brother! Thanks yeah!" Anis exclaimed with a radiant face.

After ordering food to the waiter, Anis started a conversation.

"What's up, brother? All of a sudden ngajakin lunch. Know damn well that kosan kid like Anis, his money is thinning! Hihihi," kekeh Anis joked.

The wide-veiled woman's laughter made her glimpsed by many other diners. Perhaps because of his appearance that was too closed compared to his semeja friend, Hinata, who looked open.

Anis comes with maroon-red syar'i. That is combined with a wide hijab that reaches her waist. Hinata wore a knee-length dress with a sleeveless cut.

People might think. How can two people who look different can seem fun to talk?

"Haha. Yes, Nis. Brother just passed the LINK music video audition this morning," Hinata said.

"Wahh! Congratulations, Brother!" Anis said with a smile.

Anis instantly gave Hinata a brief hug. That was accepted by Hinata with a happy heart.

From his previous meetings with Anis, Hinata realized that he felt comfortable talking to Anis. Regardless of their fashion style, they are much different.

In essence, Hinata felt comfortable talking for a long time with her.

"By the way, LINK is the name of the person or band, right? Hee.." chortled Anis with a timid face.

Hinata chuckled at the question.

"Group band, Nis. Pretty famous you know." replied Hinata told.

"Ooh.."

"Yes. Her story about the girl who cheated on her was the same husband and also his own best friend," continued Hinata again.

Anis was instantly silent. He looked at Hinata closely.

"It's.. It's not a story about Brother's personal experience, is it?" Anis's comments suddenly.

"Hh. miraculously, this story is exactly like the natural sister, Nis.." replied Hinata later.

Hinata had already told Anis about her bitter experience at their third meeting some time ago. Just then, Anis gave him words of entertainment. But Hinata does not like Anis' advice to take the firm choice of releasing Mike or survive but forgives her husband's mistakes.

According to Anis, revenge will give nothing to him, other than regret and wasted time.

"And you, you know, who's the female lead who's going to play sister later?" Ask Hinata back.

"..who's Brother?"

"Tatiana.." replied Hinata again with embers in both her eyes.

"Well, this is the name of his new destiny," Anis commented later.

"Do you think so, Nis? If according to Brother, this is a good opportunity for Brother, right?"

"Sister, you mean that revenge plan?" Said Anis while whispering towards Hinata.

And Hinata immediately nodded her gaze.

"Sister, Anis' opinion remains the same as before her. According to Anis, there is no benefit if you want revenge. It was like the embers of fire that Brother piled up inside brother. At times the embers could have burned themselves, brother," Anis commented in a straightforward tone.

Pause for a moment.

"Anis won't force you to make any choices. But, Sis. Anis wants to remind Hinata. If life is too short to be spent by a grudge that we should be able to ignore," continued Anis back.

Hinata became quiet. After a long while, Hinata finally said.

"Sister will consider your advice, Nis. Thank you, you have been watching Brother sincerely," said Hinata with a downcast face.

A moment later Anis stood up and gave Hinata a tight hug. He did not care about the other visitors who pay attention to his actions.

Hugging Hinata, Anis said.

"Sister is a tough woman. So decide everything with a clear mind, brother. Don't let what you do now, it will make you regret later on." continued Anis back.

And Hinata let Anis hug her long ago. Even though he no longer shed tears. But Anis' embrace of him made Hinata realize that once in a while, she really needed a place to lean.
