Sense of Sense

Vedus Elektus

There was nothing Ashqar could add to his appearance. It must be admitted that indeed the man was born with above average good looks, so almost every cloth wrapped in his body will look extraordinary in the eyes of others. That kind of thinking would be fitting if Rafa did it, but not with Ashqar.

Although awarded good looks and athletic body, the results of strenuous exercise of course, in fact does not make Ashqar satisfied with his performance. The man had already stood in front of the mirror for fifteen minutes after three changes of clothes, twice combing and using hair gel. However, somehow it does not make Ashqar's confidence as good as usual.

“You should perform as well as possible, Kar. Show one Indonesia that Safira does not need their mercy because it is not necessary. Anyway you can't be shy.”

All because of Rafa's fucking remarks this afternoon after their meeting with Nita's management. His brother seemed to deliberately give a new burden to his shoulders, as if the image of Safira – is a guarantee of his appearance if until he does not look satisfactory.

“Ah! Wedus elek!”¹ maki Ashqar, shuffle her neat hair and loosen the tie ties.

In the end, Ashqar gave up. He was unable to deal with his shadow any longer and could no longer afford to change his clothes. It happened to him to ask Rafa for advice, but he was too prestigious for that.

“Stupid time, lah.” Ashqar gave a rough snort then dropped his body on the mattress while the corner of his eyes glanced at the clock on the wall.

There are still more than two hours left before the press convergence event begins and it can be done none other than because of the silver tongue of law enforcement Rafa. It was still clear how the unfriendly faces of the people of Nita's management were when they first met. To be honest, other than the manager, Ashqar did not recognize the people who were with Nita.

However, the unfriendly expression was instantly changed when Rafa's lawyer, Robi Simanjuntak, offering a number of evidence that someone from the management of Nita deliberately gave their news to change the image of the actress in the public eye. Fortunately, the news had not been published or rather because Rafa acted one step faster by meeting Handoko.

The other thing that made Ashqar shocked was that the content of the news cornered him as well as Sapphira, by revealing that his and Nita's separation was because a third party and Safira deliberately distanced Nita and Zain. Not much different from Ashqar, Nita also showed the same expression. The woman could not hide her surprise, staring at the giddy copy of the article on the table.

“What? How to article ...” Then understanding struck Nita and she swore softly. “That's why brother yesterday asked me about―Kok, brother tega, anyway?”

Heru avoids eye contact with Nita and chooses to return Roby's gaze. “How can you get these garbage as proof?”

Rafa chuckles. “Rubbish and its place, instead of matching?” he said, leaning his back on the head of the chair while staring at four people in front of him lightly. “After the evidence of the crime is revealed, usually the criminal will be scared. Isn't that right, Mr Roby?”

After two male servants in formal clothes served appetizers and resigned themselves, the atmosphere had not completely melted away. They ate in silence, busy with a fork and a small piece of spinach quiche lorraine.

“Turns Mr. Ashqar,” said Siska, ending the silence after a few minutes have passed. “I have enough with the bases. So what do you expect by bringing a lawyer as well ..”, he said, deliberately given a pause while staring at Rafa full of probing. “outs?”

Rafa smiled. “Oh, I seem to have forgotten to introduce myself.” Rafa gracefully put the tableware beside the plate. “I'm brother-in-law of Ashqar and I'm not an outsider.”

Hearing that Siska reflexively turned towards Heru. Previously Nita's manager only told that Nita's ex-husband asked to meet, which he initially of course rejected outright. However, after Handoko's name was mentioned in their chat, Siska immediately changed her mind. The woman was curious about the figure of Ashqar who managed to get great help from the owner and largest shareholder of Royal Entertainment.

Ashqar cleared his throat and sent a signal to Rafa through an eye glance. “Because you seem to want to go straight to his core, so I'll be frank.” Ashqar took a deep breath and said again, “I want you and your management to make a press conference today to straighten out the news that recently circulated about Nita and my family. I want Royal Management to cooperatively solve this problem without frills want to make a profit by dropping others.”

The last sentence that Ashqar spoke was straightforward, as if sending another signal to the silent ex-wife bowed down. And clearly, Ashqar's request was judged unreasonable by Siska and Bram. As someone who has been in the entertainment world for many years, holding a press conference with Ashqar and Nita as the main object of the news is not a good thing. Because after that the media will begin to highlight Nita's past and it will not be good for the artist, the news will certainly be more detrimental to Nita's career.
