" Sstttt.... See that, sir, "Toby showed a registration for the talent search event that was plastered on one of the magazines that were in the hands of the newspaper seller.
Without a doubt Toby waved at the young man who was much younger than him.
" I want the magazine "Toby said as the newspaper salesman approached.
"thirty-five thousand rupiahs" said the young man while immediately thrusting the magazine in question.
Toby immediately traded the magazine for s3mins of hundreds of thousands.
"Ouch... No change" lamented the seller "Still a second red light yet..."
"Take... Aj.." Toby threw a smile as he gestured the young man to move away before the green light flashed.
The young man retreated immediately without a moment to say thank you, but his face sparkled through several cars that began to move.
Toby m3ngintip contents of his wallet and counting the amount of money hundreds yiang still neatly arranged.
"I should be happier, because I have more, but life is not just about numbers" Toby murmured.
"If sir. Ahmad can not deliver, I can take a taxi" persuaded Toby again will truant action he wanted.
Mr. Ahmad began to be confused, he knew that Toby was always strong in his stance. More than just dropping off Toby, Toby's safety is also his responsibility.
"if Mr. Toby gets into trouble..."
"If so just deliver, then we will find the reason together"
"But...."
"Well, I'm looking for a gift for mama to have ingredients for the family later"
"Hmmm... All right" Ahirnya Ahmadpun gave up and turned the wheel in the direction where the audition was taking place.
That day was the last day for Toby to study at school, as his talent that had appeared to the public made him have to start busy carving his name without the shadow of his father.
*******
My eyes immediately opened, and slowly Toby's faint shadow began to clear.
Of course he was not smiling, but his fingers were so deftly reaching for the glass that had been filled with clear water.
"Drink..."
I who was still silencing my mouth immediately took a seat and welcomed Toby's offer.
I swallowed a drop of water in my throat. My eyes looked straight at Toby. Wanna ask....
"How can we stay together and live in peace?"
But finding Toby's smack hair that has been colored Turqoise like the album cover design, made me cancel my question.
However Toby is not entirely mine, there is sweat and the employment of many people under his name.
There are music teams from band players to composers. There is a creative stylist, choreographer and other teams.
Everything will suffer a big loss if Toby stops while the album is still running.
"Sandra... You realize" Toby patted me on the cheek, but I'm still not interested in making a sound. Just a few drops of tears didn't seem to want to hide my sadness any longer.
Toby grabbed my body quickly and immersed it in his embrace. It feels so comfortable and safe, it's just...
The look on Albert's face leaning against the doorway of the room reflected otherwise. We won't be safe, as long as we're together?
I pushed Toby's body immediately, "so when did you go to Japan?"
Toby clenched his pair of lips for a few seconds.
"Don't be delayed..." As soon as another sentence emerged from his red lips "After all, no one can reach the top without talent"
Toby dilates his pupils.
"Be as good as you can, until they feel like they're the luckiest humans to ever see you in this life"
"Ta.. But.. Sand.."
"I'm fine" I lowered my head and clasped tightly onto his shoulder "All the unpleasant things are just outside these walls right?"
Toby turned to look at Albert and seemed to hint him to leave us both.
"People's gossip and condemnation also do not lower your value, even though you were born from the womb of a criminal, it still does not change you" somehow I became a lot of talk.
More to comfort Toby, I'd rather entertain myself. A memory of my father being forced to retire from medicine as his shaking hands from his addiction began to slowly return.
At that time I had no educated wife, and no understanding. Mom just blames dad, why not hide it until the teraphy alcoholism is over?
But I'm different.although a lot of people are trying to pull my husband down. I'll make it brighter than ever.
"Want me to go to the doctor? We see our baby as the same. I'm sure it can strengthen us even if it's just hearing his heartbeat"
