As a parent, Rista certainly did not want her child involved with the scandal. So, upon hearing the news of his son's contract marriage to the girl he also knew, Rista's strength prevented the news from spreading.
That afternoon Rista called Nawang and Yudhis to his house, none other than to inquire (interrogate) about the truth of the news. Rista had wanted to ask them once the news came out, but he paused. Because, as a deputy governor, Rista could not just leave his people. Especially now that deadly viruses are back on the rise.
Therefore, once you get a more loose time, Rista can finally take the time to meet her son and daughter-in-law.
“Anyone wants to explain directly to the point? Mom time is tight. So, sprawl!”rista commanded Yudhis and Nawang who were now sitting with their knees closed before him.
The two glanced at each other, as if telepathizing each of them about who would explain first. And the end result of that eye discussion is Yudhis who will explain first.
“Gini, Mom. In fact, Yudhis and Nawang have no purpose to destroy our dignity. We are both training and promoting. You see, Nawang passed the first stage of auditioning new drama in NTFlix.” Yudhis lie.
Nawang added, “Iya, Ma. We said it intentionally, Ma. The proof is that there is Kris. Aren't you, darling?”
Yudhis nodded quickly.
“Keep, the story Nawang in order to make the video first, continue to be uploaded. As a result, the director is like to force it to nerima Nawang. You already blow up.” added Nawang again.
Their story was too strange for Rista. According to him, the way they take only for a web drama is very convoluted.
“Nawang... Nawang. He also has a large stake in NTFlix. Yudhis just say he wants to invest in his drama, as long as you enter into it as a player. Easy right?”
Nawang also realized that. But, he had no other reason that he got faster. The ridiculous plan alone he can be once his friend informs him that he will be filming a new web drama. Coincidentally the title is ‘My Influencer Bride’ and the story is quite similar to his story with Yudhis.
“Yudhis also told Nawang that, but he did not want to. He said, more fussy better.”
Instantly Nawang glared at Yudhis, for saying something carelessly. Yudhis also glared back at Nawang as if saying that he did not want to fall with Nawang.
“How do you want?” ask Rista.
He's really tired. His work is so much draining his energy at the age of almost 60 years.
“We want to keep the news uploaded and left viral.” replied Yudhis.
“You..”.
The irritated look was so visible on Rista's face. However, the woman tried to restrain him for the sake of authenticity. Moreover, Rista caught something from the seriousness of the two. He was sure that what they said earlier was not the real reason and there was something else behind all their rash deeds.
“Ya, already. You guys take care of it yourself! And mama hope, after this business is done you can pay your bills to mama. Whereabouts? He said he wanted to give grandchildren their honeymoon!”
After that, they continue to be harassed with questions ‘when have children?’ his string. However, with this only Yudhis and Nawang were grateful. Because, that means their path will not be blocked anymore.
…
Sure enough, Yudhis and Nawang managed to viral their own scandal, with pseudonym of course. All of Yudhis's men and fellow content creator Nawang were deployed to spread their scandal. Even within a day after the restrictions on the spread that Rista did was lifted, there were already 10 local content creators and 5 international content creators who had discussed this scandal.
For a long time netizens were increasingly curious and find out for themselves the truth. Many journalists tried to contact Yudhis and Nawang for an interview. Fortunately, it is still PSBB today so no one dared to make a crowd near Yudhis.
While Yudhis and Nawang continued to refuse to be interviewed, someone was willing to be interviewed. That person also boldly showed his face.
“It looks like our fishing rod succeeded, Dhis.”
Nawang showed Yudhis a video interview of a national television channel on his tablet. In order to watch it together, Nawang sat down beside Yudhis.
“I was at the location of the viral video was recorded.” said the man interviewed via the video call.
“How did Mr Marcel feel when he saw and heard the words of Mr Yudhis and Mbak Nawang?” ask the TV reporter.
“Hm... I was surprised not surprised, anyway.”
“What do you mean, Sir?”
“Today I saw Mr. Yudhis and Bu Nawang were close, but no more than friends. Their friendship is more like a friendship between men. While the attitude of Mr. Yudhis himself in Men is actually softer. Oh. I mean not only men, yes. But, like his colleagues, his friends besides Bu Nawang. Mr. Yudhis is more polite to them.”
Yudhis lips twitched because of Marcel's words.
“There is only Marcel.” respond Nawang.
“Lo no wonder. He loves that bucket and likes to distort the facts. Do you know any rumors about me being gay? He himself spread.”
Seeing how upset her husband was when he strayed, Nawang regretted ever thinking the same thing. He once thought that Yudhis had a crush on the handsome, macho-looking Aaron. Though Nawang was the closest friend of Yudhis, he should also know the preference of the man. Luckily, Nawang never asked directly. It is inconceivable how angry Yudhis would be if he heard his own friend doubting his manhood.
“Gue understands that you like girls. But, thankfully you are not interested in me.”
Yudhis fell silent despite the many things he wanted to say about his interest in Nawang. But, for now he thought his position was the safest. She is Nawang's best friend, but he also legally married her. Over time, however, Yudhis became increasingly dissatisfied and wanted more.
“Who said?” yudhis lirih.
Lucky for Yudhis, because Nawang did not listen to his murmur earlier. The women were more focused on the video they were now watching together.
“Wah, means Mr. Yudhis is quite close yes to the employees. Can you know how he behaves everyday?”
Marcel started telling stories.
“Sir Yudhis greets me every morning with a smile and drinks the coffee or tea I make. Sometimes he does get tired, but I know that it is due to his busy life. I feel grateful to be able to work under Mr. Yudhis, even though I am not a very qualified person in this field.”
Nawang rolled his eyeballs so caught his breath with Marcel's reply.
“Nanyanya about Yudhis, but the answer is ‘saya-may’ only.” sungutu.
Judging from the way Marcel who for five years Nawang knew, indeed the wooden man was quite selfish and only saw himself. Yudhis also said that some of the work was difficult, because Marcel was difficult to work with as a team. Unfortunately, Yudhis could not immediately move what else fired Marcel, because the power of ‘people behind’ who could not be carelessly resisted. Therefore, at this moment Yudhis wanted Marcel to show his own character to others. That way, at least Yudhis can make Marcel move branches.
