Edgar is also very humble to his fans especially all fans of his ticktock. Edgar always tried to follow all their advice, and was very careful not to hurt them.

Sometimes Reyna, Efra, Ale and James are very upset to see Edgar always follow the wishes of his fans. They do not like when they see Edgar must keep smiling in front of the camera, even though the condition is not good.

"Ed, don't spoil the fans too much. They all like you when you look good. They'll leave and even blaspheme when they find out who you really are." Rutuk Reyna who could not stand to see Edgar every night lost his rest time, because he had to live tiktok and PK with the people of choice from his fans.

"Ed is happy to do it all. Reyna don't worry." Ed said softly, stroking his sister's head.

"Always like this. Ed never listens to me, Efran, Ale not even Liezel." Babysit upset.

"Ed did it all for the sake of your happiness and the people Ed loved." The answer.

"But we don't need that. Our happiness is when we see Ed happy. That's just Ed." He snapped a little. Then he ran away leaving Edgar alone.

"I'm sorry Ed, Reyna. Just like this Ed could at least pretend to be happy." He looked at Reyna who had disappeared from his sight.

Edgar turned on the camera, and was ready to go live. But, before the live Edgar first watch the video video FYP on the homepage ticktoknya. Edgar continued to swipe up his Handphone screen, looking at the video. Until finally, Edgar found one video that made his hand stop sliding.

He watched the video. Where in the video there is a girl who is acting very funny. He spoke very quickly and was seen without pause. His facial expression is also adorable. It made Edgar laugh.

"Why is he acting so silly. Very humorous. But, what did he say?" Edgar was curious and he went into the tiktok veranda.

"Samma_C." Edgar saw some videos on the Aninda homepage. Up to Video when Aninda introduces herself to a tiktok friend. From the short video, Edgar knows Aninda's full name, Aninda's age, Aninda's hometown and Aninda's religion.

"So cute. Follow." Edgar swiped the follow button. She became an Aninda follower, but did not use her original account. Edgar used another account with Id Richman.

Aninda Live arrives, and Edgar gets a notification to watch Aninda live. "Cp International?" Out of curiosity Edgarpun finally watched the match between Aninda and Hyun Jie from Korea.

While watching the live, Edgar laughed even to the bitter end. He was really amused by Aninda's hilarious behavior. "Why is this girl so funny?." Tears at the end of his eyes. He even laughed to the point of tears looking at Aninda's silly behavior.

Outside, Reyna and Ale who were talking were astonished to hear Edgar suddenly laughing. Silently, they opened the door of Edgar's room. At first glance they saw Edgar was watching a live broadcast of two people who were competing.

"Ed laughs. Ale, Ed laughed. His laughter was not mixed with sadness. He really laughed." Reyna's whisper to Ale.

Ale agreed with Reyna. They hunted record the moment to be shown to other teammates.

"Well, he's gonna lose. Aren't there any friends who would help her?" Edgar immediately took his Handphone and logged into a ticktock account with the name Richman. He immediately sent help to Aninda.

"Yes, yes.you won little girl. You're great." Shouts excitement.

While Aninda was also very excited and even said something Edgar believed, the remark was aimed at him. "Ok, I understand he's thanking me. Good girl." Edgar.

Meanwhile, Ale and Reyna continued to record to capture the moment of happiness. They hope Edgar will always be happy from tonight onwards and forever.

Since that night, none of Aninda's live has been missed by Edgar. Ale, Efran and Reyna. They managed to find the account of a foreign girl who managed to make Edgar laugh happily.

"It turns out to be a really funny girl." Efran said with a smile.

Reyna and Ale looked at each other for a while. They felt Efran was so adorable with that smile. Moreover, this was the first time Efran praised a foreign girl. Usually he always dislikes girls who try to get close to Edgar.

"He is from Indonesia. Where is Indonesia, Ale?" Efran asked.

"Indonesia is a place where there are more Muslims than people like us." Ale replied who also did not really know the exact location of Indonesia. But, he knew about the Muslim-majority Indonesian population.

"Have you been there?"

This time Reyna was curious.

"Never. But, in Indonesia there is one of the most famous tourist attractions. Bali Island of the Gods. People call it Bali." Obviously, having heard that name from one of his Papa clients.

"Balinese? It doesn't seem foreign." Efran.

Reyna and Ale turned to Efran. "Have you heard of Bali? Where's?" Reyna was curious.

Efran thought for a while. Bali felt very familiar in his mind. Even crossed the beautiful beach in his head while trying to remember Bali.

"Don't James ever been to Bali." His words that have remembered where he had heard the word Bali.

"James?" Ale and Reyna's words coincide with those of Efran.

Then, they immediately stepped quickly to meet James and ask where Indonesia and what the beauty of the island of Bali is like.

"James..."

Reyna's call made James who was editing the video was surprised.

"What's wrong?" Stopped work.

"Where's Indonesia?" Ask Reyna.

James did not have time to answer, Ale also gave another question. "What does Bali look like?"

"Why did you come to ask about Indonesia and Bali?" Feel surprised.

"It looks like it won't be long before we leave for Indonesia" replied Efran who imagined how beautiful the beach on the island of Bali.

"Why go to Indonesia? Is Ed there a project there?" James looked very enthusiastic. "Bali is so beautiful. I've been there, but five years ago." The answer.

Only smiles were seen on the faces, Efran, Ale and Reyna. They felt relieved, because at least James knew Indonesia and had been to Bali. So, the existence of the girl who makes Edgar happy, is really real on this earth.
