After Nanda was named as the last finalist to enter the top three, all the friends in the dressing room clapped and cheered. Zahra and Almira hugged each other happily. They did not expect Nanda to be so smart and fluent when doing speech with the theme of speech that was unexpected.
Not with Ria and Jeje. The two men quietly left the viewing room together. They both headed to Nanda's dressing room. Their eyes were immediately fixed on the bag of dresses hanging on the stand hanger. Both of them immediately stepped closer to the stand hanger. Ria unzipped the bag of the dress.
"Come on Je, get out the scissors" Ria ordered.
Jeje pulled out the scissors from inside her pants pocket. She cut Nanda's dress on her back to make the dress hollow. Not only that, she also cut the bottom of the dress to make a waist-high hemisphere.
"Your train. Now he will not be able to perform in the last round. And Sindi was immediately crowned the winner" Jeje said.
Ria smiled back at Jeje's words. They both came straight out of Nanda's dressing room to avoid being caught.

Nanda has come off the stage. With a smile they cast their steps towards the dressing room. He was immediately greeted by the hugs of his two best friends and some other friends.
"Congratulations Nanda. Your speech was really cool" praised one of the finalists.
"Thank you" replied Nanda kindly.
"We did not expect that there are students as smart as you" said another finalist.
"Yes, I rarely attend college events. Because the S2 student's job is very much. Every week, ask to collect the paper. So I don't have much time to socialize with you guys" Nanda replied as sincerely as possible.
"Girls, we'll talk later. Nanda has to change" cut Zahra.
Zahra shook Nanda's hand to head to her dressing room. Arriving there Nanda immediately took off the accessories in her hair and jewelry that was still attached to her body. Because she's gonna use the other jewelry.
"Al, you get the dress out of the bag" Zahra ordered.
"Okay Kak" said Almira.
Almira walked towards the stand hanger in the corner of the room. Slowly Almira unzipped the zipper of the bag that wrapped the dress. Then remove the bag from the reverberation. Almira's eyes immediately swerved with a gaping mouth when she saw the condition of the dress she was holding.
"I was worried when you got a speech theme that was different from the other finalists" said Zahra.
"I'm surprised too. It's not because of the speech theme I don't know about. But who purposely made me get a different theme from the others. There must be sabotage" replied Nanda.
"I think so too. Who did this, huh?" zahra.
"Come" Nanda replied as she spread her shoulders.
"Al, why so long" cried Zahra.
Nanda and Zahra looked back at the same time. And at that time also Almira menenteng and showed the red satin dress. Nanda and Zahra were surprised not to play when they saw the dress was badly damaged.
"WHAT THE HELL!!!" nanda shouted with a surprised expression.
Zahra immediately grabbed the dress and almost 80% of the part of the dress was badly damaged and could not be worn anymore.
"Nan, the dress is broken" said Zahra almost sobbed.
"But the dress was fine. Why is this now?" almira said with a confused face.
"How did Nan go? You need to change into a dress. The committee only gave 15 minutes to change. While we no longer have any dresses" Zahra began to worry.
Nanda took out her HP that was on the dresser. He looked for someone's number and called that number.
"Hello..."

Langga drove the car as quickly as possible after she received a call from Nanda. She was asked to find a replacement dress after Nanda told her that the dress she was supposed to wear was broken. Langga does not have time to go to the Siska boutique. The closest place to the campus is the house. She decided to take a dress at home.
Finally, Langga arrived home. He immediately ran into the house.
"Den Langga why run?" tegur Bi Nani's.
"Bi's Law. Aunty should help me find the dress that Apsa's sister, Mami Rara or Mama Isyan used to wear. I need it now" Langga said with a gasp of breath.
"Yes, we go to the clothes room" Bi Nani asked.
Bi Nani took Langga to the clothes room. The room is quite spacious and luxurious which specifically to store a wide collection of bags, shoes, and expensive clothes of this family. Bi Nani headed towards one of the tall and large glass cabinets. The closet had some dresses hanging in it.
"Which one is suitable for Nanda?" tanya Langga looks confused to choose a dress because she is not very fashion-savvy.
"If you wear a Non Apsara dress must be great. Just wear Lady Isyana's dress. There is one dress that the lady used when she was young" said Bi Nani.
"Pick take now Bi" cried Langga.
Bi Nani dashed to a door inside which was still in a storage room. This room more specifically stores a collection of old clothes, bags, and shoes from Kusuma and Rama to Isyan and Dion.
Not long after Bi Nani returned from the room with a long dress with an open back model maroon red filled with sequins studded with beautiful small crystals.
"It's got a mama?" asked Langga clarified with an amazed expression looking at the dress.
"Mr Arya gave this dress as a birthday gift from Mrs Isyan. And the lady wears it during her birthday celebration. This dress is always kept well by the mistress. He said who knows between his two daughters there will be someone wearing it" Bi Nani explained.
"Papa Arya is a romantic. I didn't think Mom was ever this cute? Or even thinner than Nanda" Langga chuckled.
Suddenly, the sound of Langga's HP sounded. He reached into his pants pocket and picked up the phone he got.
"Hello Nen."
"The hunt is back to campus. I can't wait for the campus electrical switch. Long time take the dress doang" shouted Nendra to make Langga keep his HP from his ears.
"Yes the ice-skipper was patient. This should be a dress that is suitable for your twin" Langga replied immediately turning off the phone from Nendra with a feeling of annoyance.
Bi Nani observed Langga's facial changes, "How's Den?" ask Bi Nani.
"Bring me this dress Bi" said Langga.
"Ready Den" Bi Nani replied.
Bi Nani wrapped the dress up with a dress wrapping bag to keep it neat. After getting the dress Langga rushed out of the house and headed towards the campus as quickly as possible.
