After He's gone
sixty one. The unexpected surprise
Their drama was performed today. Exactly the day after the main cast had such a bad feeling. Gea continues to steal a look at Rara who is already wearing a costume. He as a director could not do much if it was the staging day. I can only hope that Rara's emotions yesterday didn't get carried away on stage. Successfully not today will depend on Rara as well.
"Na, take care of Rara. Why isn't he today?" ask Gea. Well, alana also became an actor, so she could be closer to Rara than Gea would be backstage.
"safe. we know, he's the most able to pretend happy." reply alana, a bit of irony indeed. They really should have fun after this. Must.
"Ra. if there are obstacles or anything, just tell the back crew, yes, the spirit" Gea whispered to Rara last time before she actually left them preparing for the event.
Rara looked better, she could smile Gea replied. Their worries are also useless. Because once he saw Alana and Gea, he no longer thought about the things that hurt his heart. They may also just be shocked, because all this time he rarely shows his heart to anyone.
"it feels good to have people who care this way" he said. Gea and Alana would never know that worried look was what made her okay.
...****************...
Ananta sees Alana busy again. This time he really could not get involved to be any closer like yesterday. He could only watch from far away. Now this is still stage preparation before the main event that will be displayed almost last.
Ananta did not pay attention to the appearance of the others, his attention was fully fixed on Alana. He continued to observe the alana that was increasingly looking funny when nervous. He knows Alana always does her best. So even though Alana looks like that she's not too worried. Ananta believes Alana can do well.
On the other hand Rara looked serious, just like Gea. In contrast to Alana who was the first time, Rara and Gea were also more experienced. So that they can be calmer in dealing with the situation now.
Throughout the show Ananta's tail follows Alana's movements. He doesn't care about anyone else seeing Alana. And as expected, Alana did well.he became a supporting actor, but his expression and pronunciation are good even though he only appeared for the first time.
Every struggle is not in vain. The emotions he expended to the point of draining his training paid off the day with a satisfying appearance.
Rara as the lead also did well. In fact, the momentary emotion that had exploded yesterday did not bother him at all.
Most relieved was Gea, the stage director whose heart kept racing throughout the show. He can only control the state of the stage, not the emotions of his players so he is very worried during the performance. He could only breathe properly when it was all over.
...****************...
After the drama was over, Ananta went backstage to give her bouquet of flowers to Alana. It's a bit exaggerated, but it's also part of the memory so he wants to make it special when he remembers it.
"Congratulations. His first stage was successful." said Ananta. He walked straight towards Alana, even though the main character here was Rara.
"uhuk-uhuk ouh cough" Gea taunted rather anxious and envious.
"for Gea there is also kok. tuh brought the same God" continued Ananta. Sure enough, behind him the god brought two other bouquets. One was handed over to Rara, she said it was from arkan for the main cast today.
The other flower for Gea.
"this is from arkan too?" ask Gea. Then suddenly the god gave the code to Ananta to shut up, because from the gesture now Ananta like going to say something.
"huft, I paid" he said, lying, of course, from the gods. How could Gea believe the opposite.
"you bought for Gea too" Alana replied. The sweet child suddenly looked angry from jealousy.
"later to tell me" Ananta replied. And just like that Alana calmed down again. Gea and Ananta's combination was somewhat impossible in his eyes after all.
"already, thank you anyway." Gea reply did not want to comment much.
"gaiss. Thank you for your hard work today. Later abis event there is a feeding tract as much as from arkan. No one goes home yet, okay" call Gea a little loud until the five dozen-man drama club crew hears her. They all smiled happily, answering in unison. Eat for free, who doesn't like to try.
After their appearance there was one more thing that still had to be checked. A teacher has put up a list of outstanding students and parallel rankings on the notice board, but not many are interested because it is still focused on festivals and events on the stage. After a new appearance Alana remembered again with the announcement.
"Ta... dare to check the parallel ranking??" challenge Alana. He still believes Ananta is not included in at least the top 5 rankings. He doesn't know Ananta has asked for the opportunity to work on all the daily replicas he lives in to fill his value column. So, Ananta is quite confident he is still at the top.
"now?" he said he looked a bit doubtful. Seeing her Alana smiled victorious even before she saw the actual result.
"chuck off" Alana pulled Ananta towards the notice board.
Once until Ananta look for the name Alana, while Alana look for the name Ananta in the starting rank of 10 and above.
Only 50 ranks are installed there and the name is still included in the last 10 columns. Alana is in the same area as the top of Gea, after Rara and then Alana. Ananta smiled happily finding Alana's name there. Although Alana should be in the top ten if she is more serious about studying.
"you cheated, huh? ngaku.you bribe all teachers to make love value" said alana. He still stared in disbelief at the name of Ananta who was still perched at number one. While the owner of the name just smiled thinly raise his shoulders with the gesture 'where do I know'.
"so can I have a gift?" ask Ananta who did not forget Alana's promise on the day Alana visited him home.
"ish wants to do it again, I have to. Anyway don't be that weird." reply Alana rather pouted. He can't guess the brain of Ananta. If it's ignorant mode the request must be strange.
"herein is his hand" said Ananta. He told Alana to open her palm face up. Alana just followed obediently before finally smiling widely as Ananta clasped his hand after that.
"there you beside me that's enough" Ananta replied again. somewhat amused indeed. But nevermind. Alana was very happy now so she would ignore it and not comment. Just smiling, very wide.
