The Alaska Dea
Chapter 28: Let's Not Know Each Other
"Why did you come here?"
That question still sounds as cold since last time. From the cctv broadcast he saw in the building's surveillance room, Aska knew that Ana had met Dea, but Aska did not know what the two of them were talking about until Dea completely stayed away from her. The matter about Dea knowing if she could join Alaska Entertainment because of her recommendation, Aska sure wouldn't make this woman angry right now. Their relationship has been really strained lately. Therefore, Aska wants to end the cold sensation between the two tonight. Aska could no longer be patient for a second not to argue with Dea.
Let alone a day, just a second it feels like life Aska pitch dark.
"No advice from your mom?" madcap. Aska knew she was crazy right now for asking the question just now despite having seen a completely unfriendly facial expression from Dea right now.
"meaning?"
An Aska smile was displayed to dilute the atmosphere. "Call me either I don't mind Dea"
When he saw the beautiful eyeballs belonging to Dea spinning off, Aska should stop right now. But, you said it, right? He can not stand if too long do not greet with Dea seramah first again.
"Or want to call immediately affection also nothing" believe me there may only be a fraction of men in this world who dare to tempt women when there is mamah woman itself.
"What do you want to come here? Back to the box?" the stock box that was previously on the table, now moved to the lap of Dea "I have received. So you can go straight away. I don't want to risk my career anymore"
You know, what is the thing that makes Aska's confidence rise many times now until reckless still sitting despite being expelled repeatedly? That's because Aska believes, the thing that makes Dea angry is not just because his career can be destroyed, but Aska believes there are other things that make Dea like this. That's what Aska's trying to figure out right now.
"The juice of your mother is not finished. Wait for me to finish this first" Aska sip a little juice and then switch to eating bakpia.
Dea let out her annoyed breath. Seeing Aska who was even reckless to enter and chat with his mother, Dea knew this man would not be easy to tell to go "Aska"
"His friends are again guests who were expelled anyway mbak"
Aska smiled as mamah Ajeng came back out of the room. At least if there's an Ajeng maamah here, Aska's a little safe from Dea's expulsion. Seeing that Madah Ajeng was sitting among them, Aska's smile grew inversely proportional to Dea's increasingly sour expression.
"You can't sleep out of curiosity"
Dea narrowed her eyes suspiciously. The Raden Ajeng Purwaningsih who is famous for his subtle actions in the eyes of others will always turn terrible in the eyes of Dea if you have asked that question. It's not the first time Dea has been in such a position. Dea even remembered back then when High School, her upperclassmen so chased after her continuously after meeting with mamah just because they felt they got the green light from the mama.
"Don't Aska just say he doesn't have a girlfriend or a wife, what is the relationship between the two of you?"
"Neighbors" Dea replied quickly.
"Neighbor aunty, but I also like the same Dea" corrections the quick asca that obviously got an eye-splot from Dea.
"If you have a more aunt relationship is also not a problem"
"Your!!"
Ajeng clapped his daughter's arm hard. If it had shouted, Dea's voice was completely thunderous. After all, Dea and Ardigo's relationship has also run aground, so it doesn't matter if you have a new relationship again.
"Son Aska, come with aunty to the kitchen yuk. Ask for help to put food supplies in the top drawer" no matter the daughter who returned to nagging because of her familiar attitude to Aska, Ajeng immediately pulled the man's hand to be invited to the kitchen. Dea will certainly follow to the kitchen.
Aska knew the green light from Mamah Ajeng was fully lit for her now. With pleasure for the sake of the smooth approach, Aska climbed onto the chair and began receiving some instant noodles and concocted condiments to the shelves on top of the coffee machine. Occasionally glanced towards Dea who was standing leaning against the refrigerator with his arms folded in front of his chest.
"Why do you bring so many things? This must have not been willing to put in the refrigerator" Opening the refrigerator, Dea found the previous refrigerator that was uninhabited has now changed with several boxes neatly arranged. Inside it clearly contains side dishes that only stay heated if you want to eat.
"Where is this much shopping? This mah one month also will not run out mah" Dea's own bells see it. Although divided by Arin though, this much food will end up being stale.
"Suffer up. Mau mamah for 3 is side dishes. Aska wants to try aunty's cooking too, right?"
Aska who had just stepped down from the chair glanced at Dea. The beautiful eyes of Dea as if hoping if Aska will agree with his mother's speech. Therefore, there is no need to think again Aska's head nodded in agreement. If Mamah Aska shares food, surely the container will use a box, and that means there are still many more boxes that Aska can use in the future to approach Dea.
"You're not at dinner yet, are you? Rin, it's not dinner yet, is it?"
Arin who also joined in the kitchen nodded her head "Arin help cook ya tan."
"OKAY. Nak Aska sat down again in the living room, do not go home first. Ma'am, mementin nak Aska"
"But mamah is tired of just arriving. Not cooking, we order food from the outside" Dea's hand that has scrolled the phone screen is held by Ajeng.
"When a guest is served food from outside"
"It's nothing aunty" said Aska.
"Nothing. Wait, aunt masakin. You guys wait in the middle room"
If Raden Ajeng Purwaningsih had given the order, then no one would be able to argue.
***
"I'm sorry if it's not polite. But after eating I hope you go straight home. And let's act like ordinary neighbors who don't visit each other's units too often"
Dea's speech just successfully held the hand of Aska who was about to reach for a glass filled with freshly filled juice again by Aunt Ajeng.
"I don't know what makes you angry. So, can you tell me why your attitude is this cold?" cerca Aska direct. His tone still sounded soft even though his patience was as thin as a tissue divided in two.
If Dea is angry that she intervened in Dea's entry into the agency, Aska can explain it as long as Dea tells all the stories.
Or
If Dea is angry because of Ana's existence, Aska has explained that they have no relationship. Dea shouldn't be distracted by that.
"I know you're not the kind of person who gets angry just because of your career. So why? Because Ana? He must have found you, right?"
Dea's eyes closed for a moment. Aska's words are nothing wrong. Actually a career ruined wouldn't scare him so much. After all, there was still no telling if Dea was living in this apartment right now. Career as an excuse.
"You know what reason I chose to migrate to Jakarta and become an American celebrity?"
That question was never asked before. Chief Aska shook his head not knowing the answer.
"Because if I work in a family company. Everyone will tell me I came in because of an insider. At school, people said I could get good grades because of insiders. I succeeded because of the insiders. That's what made me go to Jakarta and build my own career as an artist"
"I just want to help you De. I happen to know Gema and Aldo"
"helpful? Not forcing them to recruit me?"
Looks like the dinner will not be as comfortable as Aska's shadow. Aska never guessed that Dea was one of those people who hated the insider's path.
"De"
"I joined Alaska. So I hope let's just be unacquainted with each other in the future because I don't want any rumors of me selling myself for a career"
"Dea!"
