Ashqar is afraid of mishearing, especially the appearance of someone behind him looks unconvincing. Unlike a janitor despite wearing boots, let alone a hotel clerk, it is highly unlikely.
“Why are you here?”
Ashqar scrunched his forehead and narrowed his eyes. “Sorry. You this ...”
“Tante Nita, ‘kan?” alvin Sela.
Nita put her index finger in front of her mask-covered lips and lowered her sunglasses slightly. “Don't be hard,” whispered slightly lowered, watching right and left.
“Why is Auntie's outfit so weird?” alvin asked, watching Nita from the bottom up.
Alvin's surprise. Usually Nita always looks like a celebrity with high heels and nice clothes every time they meet, but this time it looks the opposite. Huge straw hats, oversized black jackets like his legs, mask, sunglasses and boots similar to those of Mr. Subur— for his school garden, make Nita very difficult to recognize.
Ashqar. “You ... Nita?”
Nita could only smile wryly from behind the black mask, feeling indecisive with her appearance. Earlier she strongly trusted one of the assistants who became an impromptu fashion stylist this morning, saying that her appearance would be helpful to avoid journalists. However, seeing Ashqar's response, Nita's self-confidence instantly disappeared.
“Am I that weird?”
“Banget!” ashqar and Alvin said.
The father and son pair wore the same expression. It was as if they were seeing a failed astronaut into space and were stuck looking for a temporary place to live.
“You got the wrong costume or how?” ashqar.
“This .. incognito.” Nita sounded hesitant, her hands did not stop to fix the mask even though there was nothing wrong with the laced object.
One of Ashqar's eyebrows is raised. “Cognition? You're avoiding reporters?” As Nita confirmed, Ashqar turned the eyeball. “It is precisely your appearance is very striking.”
Actually Ashqar wants to say how stupid Nita is and how she looks, but the man soon realizes Alvin's whereabouts beside him.
The fact that he himself used the emergency exit rather than the main door of the hotel was actually quite strange and now he is addressing it to the sharp-tongued Ashqar. Nita only hoped that Ashqar would not be so hard on her this time or that she would feel worse after her ex-husband's scathing comments on her appearance.
“Not your business,” replied Ashqar, minimal taste in his tone. Then he took Alvin's hand. “Come, Mas Alvin.”
“Wait! About gossip—”
“We discuss that later,” cut Ashqar quickly without turning a head at all. “And if you really want not to be caught by journalists, keep your tone and attitude.”
After that Ashqar immediately departed from the presence of Nita who was sculpting, surprised by Ashqar's cold response that felt suddenly. Is it possible that the rumors made Ashqar and Sapphira quarrel? However, Nita is convinced that Sapphira cannot possibly misunderstand because the woman herself knew that Ashqar had only picked up Alvin and Zain.
Nita glanced at Ashqar's departure from the edge of her eyes and when she did not find Ashqar's figure, she felt a little disappointed. Nita hopes they can talk a little longer and straighten out what's going on. While pulling down the straw hat, Nita sighed deeply and then immediately stepped into the elevator without knowing if the motion had been immortalized in the camera shots.
He is the same journalist who followed Nita before and managed to get a photo that is currently a public conversation. A satisfied smile was clearly drawn on the journalist's round face as his hard work trailing Nita these past few days ended sweetly.
