"What's wrong?" ask Iqbal to the Manager.
"I got a message from Miss Eliza, she said you have to fill out a royal-themed magazine the day after tomorrow" the manager replied frankly.
Sontak Iqbal was shocked to hear it. "What's? Tomorrow after tomorrow?"
"Yes, tomorrow the day after tomorrow. So we're gonna get on a plane to Canada this morning."
Iqbal. Why should the schedule be so sudden. Iqbal thought there would be no more schedules for him in Canada, eating Iqbal straight home to Indonesia and want to spend time with his favorite woman.
But the truth is the thinking is wrong.
"Can't it be pushed back? A month? Or two months?" ask Iqbal.
"Cannot. Because later after the shoot, you have a swimming race schedule in Canada."
Iqbal rubbed his face rough. What else is this? A swimming race? Iqbal is really feeling frustrated now.
"I know it's heavy. On the one hand you want to achieve your dreams and be proud of your Mama. And on the other hand you don't want to leave Alea, your favorite girl. But what should I do. As a friend and manager, I want your dream to be achieved, Bal, so that later you can point to your Papa if you are not a child of si*l, but a great child."
Iqbal could not think clearly anymore. His mind is getting messed up. Iqbal was really confused as to what to decide.
"Now you have to break up. Want to go or not?"
It's very difficult to decide. It took me a long time to think about all this. The manager needs the answer now.
After a few minutes of thinking, Iqbal's decision has been obtained.
For a moment Iqbal took a deep breath. "Okay, this morning we're going to Canada."
The manager smiled with relief. Iqbal looked helpless. It's hard to say that. In fact, it was even heavier to leave Alea.
I'm sorry, Al. I have to go again. But I promise, I will return as soon as Iqbal's mind bends helplessly.
Iqbal glimpsed his head to the side and his gaze began to stop there. He saw Alea standing with two teary eyes. In fact, the jasmine flower Alea was holding was suddenly dropped just like that on the ground.
"Alea," Iqbal said as he stood firm.
The manager who noticed Alea's presence, immediately stepped back and rushed off. He did not want to interfere with his friend's business.
While Iqbal, rushed over to Alea. He didn't want to be quiet when his favorite girl cried.
"Suster, hey ...." Iqbal wiped Alea's tears gently. "Why cry?" ask Iqbal.
Alea did not respond. He continued to look at Iqbal with great sadness. I don't know what Alea was thinking, however, Iqbal's heart was clearly not calm now.
"Don't diem kayak gini, Sus. Please, talk something!" pinta Iqbal cupped Alea's cheeks.
"Go!"
Iqbal was silent. Alea's short words successfully made both of her eyes water instantly.
"Ma-I mean sister what?" tanya Iqbal stammered.
"I've been through everything. Iqbal wants to go to Canada again, right? Go awayl. Don't worry about me, I can take care of myself" Alea replied bitterly. He tried hard despite the fact that it was very hard to say that to Iqbal.
Iqbal nodded. After that, he pulled out the phone from his pocket. "No ... Iqbal doesn't want to leave any more sisters. Iqbal will find a way to stay here with the sisters."
Iqbal wants to call the manager. However, Alea suddenly snatched the phone from her hand.
"What do you want to call the manager? Want to cancel your schedule? Notwithstanding. You can't fucking admit that. You have to move forward, Iqbal. You are now at the peak of success. You should be proud of your mom and your fans. You can't back down just because of me."
Iqbal bowed his head helplessly. His mind is getting more complicated now. Unconsciously, her tears immediately dripped.
Alea understood the turmoil felt by Iqbal. Alea honestly felt the same way. He did not want Iqbal to leave him again.
However, Alea had to do what. There's no way he'd forbid Iqbal not to go. It was the same Alea ruined that man's dream.
"Iqbal." Alea switched to cupping both cheeks Iqbal. "Look at me!" Alea pinta.
Slowly Iqbal's head was lifted. Then her net looked at Alea's face wistfully.
"You are a star, Iqbal. A star that will always shine and will never dim. Make the people around you happy with your light. Make your Papa and your Brother ashamed because you always think of you as a child carrier si*l. Make those who used to insult you regret it. Make them like that, Iqbal."
Then Iqbal's lips began to comment on a smile. Alea's words really touched his heart. Iqbal was lucky to get to know Alea who always strengthened himself in times of weakness.
"Thank you, Al." Iqbal instantly pulled Alea into his arms. "You have always been there for me. Nyemangatin. Protect me. Guard me. Anyway I'm really lucky to know you, Al."
Alea smiled. Then both his hands began to lift to return Iqbal's embrace. "I'm lucky to know you, Iqbal. You're the strongest guy I've ever met. Words alone are not enough to describe your true self. You're too special for me. I hope you're always happy, Iqbal. I love you," inward Alea.
Iqbal tightened his embrace on Alea. Right now he just wanted to hug his beloved girl. Especially in a situation like this.
"Yes, Al." Iqbal almost forgot something. He immediately took off his embrace.
"What's wrong?" ask Alea.
"I forgot to give you a gift."
If only the time machine was real, Alea wanted to go back briefly to the past. Where he often faces Iqbal's behavior is funny like a child.
"Ck." Iqbal gave a quick chuckle. After which, he brought his face closer to Alea. "Suster want to know?" Iqbal asked with his voice.
Alea nodded slowly. To be honest Alea had also been curious what kind of gift Iqbal would give her.
"Close your eyes!"
Alea scrunched his forehead. What he closed his eyes for. Is the gift Iqbal will give her a special one?
Not wanting to get curious, Alea finally obeyed Iqbal's will.
One second ... five seconds ... Alea's waiting. However, Iqbal did not speak. In fact, there was no sign of the man giving her a gift.
Did Iqbal prank himself again? Ah, I hope not. Because if Iqbal does the madness again, Alea will not hesitate to be indifferent to him for a month.
"What do you really want to give me, Bal?" asked Alea with patience that was running out.
Again there is no word from Iqbal. Finally, inevitably, Alea had to open her eyes to see the presence of the man.
"Iqbal, you--"
Alea was about to open her eyes. Suddenly, a hand closed its eyes again.
"Suster, don't open your eyes!"
Alea snorted an annoyed breath. Iqbal should not warn him like this, even though he himself gave the gift long ago.
"Where is Iqbal? He said he wanted me a gift. But where?" said Alea ketus.
"Patience, beautiful sister. It's also a will."
Sure enough, Alea now felt something coiling around her neck. After Alea held onto it, it turned out to be a necklace.
"Now sisters can open their eyes!"
Alea slowly opened her eyes. Then down. Instantly Alea was surprised after seeing the necklace Iqbal put to his neck was a love-shaped pendant necklace.
"Iqbal, this ...."
Alea did not know what to say. At this moment he was still shocked by the gift Iqbal gave him.
"It's just a little present, Sus. Iqbal hope the sisters like the necklace," said Iqbal.
"Like it. It's really like it, though," Alea chimed in, unceasingly looking at the pendant necklace with a fluffy smile.
Seeing this, Iqbal smiled. She was grateful that Alea really liked her gift.
"Thank you" said Alea, and Iqbal responded by ruffling the top of his head.
"Yes, there's a photo inside. Open it!" exclaim Iqbal.
Alea had just realized that the pendant necklace she was wearing was closed. Out of curiosity, Alea finally opened the heart-shaped pendant.
"Well, this is ...."
Alea paused her speech. He is currently focusing on the photo. Photos that show her who is in a silly style by wearing a casual dress with floral patterns, also Iqbal who is in a cute style by wearing a white blazer suit.
"Suster still want to fit that moment?" Iqbal looked at the photo in the locket necklace.
"Still be. This is a moment I will never miss. Wanna know why? Because in this moment, you ...."
Alea paused his words immediately. His feelings were instantly mixed when recalling that time.
"Ah, that's lupain. I don't want to talk about that anymore" Alea continued, putting on a flat face.
"Remain less to discuss? Though there is another story behind the photo," said Iqbal while folding both hands in front of the chest.
Alea's forehead immediately wrinkled. "What story?" asked Alea curiously.
"Suster want to know?" Iqbal asked. Quickly Alea nodded in agreement.
"Later Iqbal. Because if it's reported now, it's not exciting."
Alea. He was waiting for Iqbal to tell him. "Kok later anyway? Don't tell me it's gonna be a while longer" Alea said.
Iqbal seemed to think. "Hmm, it could be. Maybe I'm coming home from Canada."
Alea pursed her lips in annoyance. No relationship .. no story, all Iqbal ghosting. Alea also marked Iqbal as a ghosting man.
"Okay, I'll wait. But you have to promise me a story after you get back from Canada?" Alea showed her little finger asking for a promise to Iqbal
Iqbal smile. Then linked his little finger to Alea. "I promise" Iqbal said.
