This is the fourth time Nania has checked her phone, but there have been no messages or calls from her husband. Though usually the man will call at least two hours just to mince words or discuss silly things.
He glanced at the wall clock which had already shown at two in the afternoon and this was already past his meal hour.
"Sister Daryl's not here?" Amara asked. The girl hasn't spoken since morning.
"Perhaps not. I didn't pick up the phone, in chat especially. From morning it's busy?"
"A lot of events?"
"Maybe. You see today there's a new model selection at Fia's Secret."
"Oh, another model?"
"I guess."
Amara held onto her stomach while pulling and exhaling her breath slowly.
"Why?" Nania tilted her head.
"It's okay, just the baby's in the spirit today."Â
"Times?"
"Now?" Amara pointed at her stomach that looked moving.
"What if you want to be born?"
"Some of them are like this, some are not. Not all pregnancies are the same."
"That's it?"
"Yes." Yeah."
Nania was silent for a while then looked around the not as crowded shop as before.
"I'm going to take lunch first." He got up and rushed into the pantry.
...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...
He arrived at the Fia's Secret building after about half an hour riding his motorbike. Take off the helmet and hoodie, then tidy up his clothes that he had previously changed in the store with a plain shirt so as not to show his work as a food delivery courier.
Nania then went inside which was quite crowded. And soon enough, those who recognized him greeted him with a polite nod.
"Hey? You're here?" Dinna greeted him as Nania almost entered the elevator.
"Yes Brother. Take food. I think he's busy, right?" He showed me the tote bag he was carrying.
"Yes, it's just starting the second session. The models that came today were quite numerous. Maybe because of the first day."
"Hmm... The pantesan did not come to the store? Not answer either."
"Yes, Mr. Daryl, if the matter of selection is very serious, it cannot be disturbed."
"Hu'um, that's why I brought the food here."
"Duh, do not you also know if you have eaten earlier? Incidentally I am the same order management so Mr. Daryl also joined the order. I don't think you're going to deliver?"
"That's it?" Nania with disappointment.
"Eh but, between. Who knows if it will be eaten, because Mr. Daryl was less sreg same food. Are you the usual one who brought it?"
"Times?"
"Yes. Go to the studio let's meet."
"Are you busy?"
"It's okay if two minutes seems like it can. The studio's there." Dinna pointed to a spot on the other side of the building that Nania remembered she had entered during the shooting of Anya and Zenya.
"okay." He also rushed there.
And it was quite crowded at the time. Some people went in and out of the studio including some beautiful women with dazzling makeup.
The clothes are beautiful and attractive they wear to impress selectors.
Nania looked inside and she saw her husband who was behind the table with some staff and they looked serious discussing while a beautiful woman in fine clothes in front of the middle set was winding up photographer's direction.
He looked around then at himself who was only wearing skinny jeans, plain shirts and everyday sneakers.
Then the voices in his head buzzed like a bunch of bees looking for a place to colonize.
See yer?Â
You're gonna embarrass him!Â
You're nothing more than a courier and a shopkeeper!Â
Once upik ash remains upik ash!
Nania closed her eyes, then soon she turned around and intended to just come out. Until unexpectedly he hit someone in the back, making the totebag he was carrying fell to the floor and the contents scattered.
"Hey!! You don't have eyes, do you?" A woman with a graceful appearance shouted at him. It got the attention of a few distracted people including Daryl and his staff.
"Look!! You're dirtying my shoes!" He pointed at the food scattered between his legs.
"Sorry." Nania stuttered, and by reflex she crouched down and cleaned the object with her hands.
"Keep your filthy hands off my shoes! Low-down courier!" The beautiful woman retreated backwards.
"Sorry." said Nania again.
"Just apologize, even a month's salary won't be enough to buy instead!" the clasping again made Nania drag in place.
"How much are your shoes?" Daryl's voice interrupted, and the atmosphere instantly became silent as the man came over.
"Mh …." The woman who was thought to be the model turned to him.
"Jawab my question! How much are your shoes?" Daryl stopped when they were close.
"Sorry, Sir. It's just …."
"Jawab said!!" The man shouted.
"Five million? Ten million? Fifty million? To the point that you're humbling people like that?" His voice of course blared throughout the room and left everyone speechless.
"He's sorry, are you deaf?" The impact, and it made Nania shift backwards.
"My-me …."
"You think your attitude is good? With such clothes and looks you think you have the right to demean people?" Daryl did not lower the volume of his voice so Nania approached and grabbed his arm.
"You don't know who you're snapping at?" he said again, and everyone's views were of course fixed on Nania.
"How dare you yell at my wife?" obviously, then he pulled nania close to him.
"Wife?" Everyone except the staff of Fia's Secret looked surprised.
"Which agency sent you, heh?" ask her, still with her loud tone.
The woman in front of him did not immediately reply as she was still surprised by it.
"I asked, where?" Daryl snapped again, and Nania again clasped her hands. This time it was harder.
"Glows Up Models Sir." Dinna approaching.
"Oh, .. Quick. The models from there are indeed arrogant like you huh?" said the man.
"I've just seen there are models like this, even though the ones that come today have hundreds. But they're acting normal?"
"Umm .. Sorry, sir." The woman realized his behavior.
"Yes sir?"
"I don't want to accept a model from Glows Up for any audition. Especially to be the main model of Fia's Secret."
"Sorry Sir?"
"Model Glows Up banned from entering Fia's Secret! Write it in your book!" Daryl made his words clear.
"Good sir." Dinna did what her boss told her to.
"Hh .. Someone replace me for a second, I'm tired." The man pulled Nania out of the studio.
"And pay money to replace her dirty shoes because of my wife!!" He screamed again.
***
"Why did you come here?" They sat on the couch in his study.
"Eating target."
"I didn't ask for it."
"You're making me worry. I did not pick up the phone, in the chat also not read. Boro-boro is avenged." Nania plays the end of her shirt.
"I'm busy, honey!" Daryl leaned his body towards the girl.
"I know."
"Why did you insist on coming here?"
"Because your meal is past."
Daryl chuckles.
"It's Jakarta, I can find food anywhere. Dinna ordered it for me anyway. I ate that."
"I don't know, you don't tell me." Nania lowered her face.
"Ck! Holy hooch! I forgot I had a wife!" The man rested his body on the back of the chair.
"I'm sorry" said Nania.
"Why apologize?"
"I screwed up his audition?"
"No, who said?"
"But that was …."
"Just stop for a second, now it must start again." The man got up then danced Nania so they were close together.
"But I'm embarrassing you."
"Then why?"
"This incident?"
Daryl laughed softly.
"No. My wife came and brought me some food, why am I ashamed? I'm just happy."
"Times?" Nania raised her face.
"Of course, did you notice your husband?" The man smiled with anxiety.
"But it's a pity that the food spilled? I was still hungry. The food Dinna bought is not as good as your cooking."
Nania looked at her husband's face.
"Are you thinking about the food?" he said, a little surprised.
"That's what matters, right?"
"How's "model? are you angry? You refuse too?"
"Ah, many models are still not just her. Besides, I don't like it when someone's more arrogant than me."
"What?"
"Yes, he's so arrogant. The matter of shoes being stepped on underfoot alone makes him arrogant like that, and I don't like it."
Nania speechless.
"Oh, don't be sad. Did I change my shoes for you?"
"That's .. Excessive." Nania mutters.
"Nothing is excessive. For a husband, defending his wife's self-esteem is a must. He humbled you before my eyes, how could I be silent? What kind of man am I?"
Nania felt her eyes start to heat up, and something like a bump in her throat.
"Have not cried." The man rubbed his back, then laughed.
"Aaaaa .. You make me sad!!" Nania slid into her arms and cried.
"Lho, why sad?"
"Other than Dad, no one believes me. Huhuuu …."
"Geez!!" Daryl laughed again.
The girl hugged him so tightly.
"Then obey me, for no one will defend you but me!!" He hugged her back no less tightly. While Nania continued to cry.
"Oh, don't cry! People will think I did something to you!!" Daryl patted his back, but the girl still sobbed.
"Why the hell are you such a crybaby? Because the moon is still coming?" said again.
Instantly it made Nania stop her crying. She just remembered lying to her husband about the period, and it made her feel guilty.
"Mh …." The girl pulled away while wiping her tears.
"Stop!!" Daryl straightened his hair.
"Will you stay here? Because I have to go back down. The audition was important for me to attend." Daryl later said.
"Ng .. No, I think I should go back to the store." Nania answered.
"OKAY. You got a motor?"
He nodded his head.
"Well, let me take you down?" The man got up and took his hand, and they sauntered out.
"Later it also seems like you're going home by yourself huh, because I'm here until nightfall. Go home first, don't wait for me."
Daryl made sure he was wearing his hoodie and helmet properly.
"Don't speed okay? Take care of yourself for me?" said the man who made Nania feel guilty.
The girl nodded her head, then left after Daryl had kissed her lips at a glance.
