Chapters 20. Fitting Photo


What does the sun do now, other than hide behind the moon? Like Niki who tried to hide from the fact that Si Mas is Vijaya.


Like an intelligent woman, Niki prioritizes logic over taste. For two weeks now, his brain has always thought that Vijaya's red shoes were just a coincidence, even though his heart agreed with reality and was fully convinced that Wijaya was Si Mas.


His health has returned. Some tips from Mita and Safira do it like, eat a lot of fruit and drink the angel-anget, the mainstay healthy tips for all kinds of diseases.


The previous Monday night, Ms. Marisa announced that they would be taking a photo fitting in a warehouse, located in front of an electrical engineering classroom. Graphic design is scheduled after the cosmetology major.


A gentle breeze ran along his way to the training office. Niki hummed, singing Cruel Summer's song behind a mask. Even his shoulders dance on the bike.


He saw there was no Dzulfikar in the parking lot, precisely under the ketapang tree, where his red beat subscription parking, as well as where Dzulfikar parking as well. Now, the legendary motorbike controls the area under the tree more freely.


But, who's this cungkring motorcycle? Parking on the left side of the Abigail motorbike. As Niki recalled, there were no design participants riding motorcycles like this.


Just ignore it, Niki is not in the mood to overthinking now. Better, he immediately went to class and touch up his face before the photo session started.


The heavy rain that flushed two days ago did not come down for no reason. Therefore, the stars can not help illuminate the night with the sun that hides behind the moon. To the extent that, the floodlight dimmed now.


The sun forgot to code that fate would happen in a row today for Niki and Wijaya.


He thought that the sitting position he agreed to yesterday was only temporary. He thought, design friends help him special Friday only, and supposedly, this Monday He is still sitting in front of the AC.


Apparently not. That policy is permanent. At the front desk was Antony, while the empty seat in front of the AC was Xabil's who was still not present.


In the second row, there was Vanny sitting over to the wall, where she lay yesterday. And next to him was an empty chair that he had guessed would be his new throne.


He refused to enter, He was still staring at another chair, who knew something was empty and right! An empty seat next to Ryan!


But, it's strange to have to sit down with a man.


Long He stood in front of the glass door, until he did not realize there was Vijaya waiting for him to quickly enter the classroom.


"It's healed?" he whispered suddenly, close to Niki's ear from behind.


Deg


Niki instant hangers.


He looked back as he rushed in to make way. Wijaya, the man immediately sat in his chair, next to Abigail.


He was forced to sit in the chair that was destined for him. The second bench of the left row, next to a large woman who is none other than, Vanny.


If Niki could just walk out of her spirit for a moment, she wanted to shout to the sky right now.


Are you intentionally or what?!


But, the rice had become porridge. Thanks to many dreams, at least thanks to the appearance of Si Mas, Niki began to open her heart now.


Doesn't He realize, lately his emotions are much more complex. Angry, sad, irritated, happy, even for the first time, his heart was racing!


His heart is not empty!


"Niki, bring make up, right?" ask Laras from his chair.


"Start."


He took out lip cream and powder from inside his pencil case. The women were with her pede, touch up in class. No longer care about the attention of the males who want to curse on the spot.


"Niki, combin my hair dong." Pinta Mita.


"Yes, your hands are so soft! You combed no, anyway? There was no feeling." the protest later.


Niki immediately protested back, "Rapi, really."


Vanny and Safira praise each other's eyeliner. While Niki and Laras mutually praise the color of lipcream coral they wear. Anyway, their photos should be pretty!


All design participants have already left the class. They wait their turn in front of the parking lot of the graphic design building.


The participants of the cosmetology department flashed. Some of the women slowed down while staring at Vijaya, Antony, even Marzuki and Rayhan.


Debby, Niki's acquaintance from cosmetology, approaches and greets her as well as Laras. Suddenly, this woman showed her closeness to the graphic design department in front of her closest friends.


He also sees Niki's movements repeatedly approaching Mita and friends, but Ryan constantly calls him for no apparent reason.


The old man suddenly asked an unimportant question, just to get Niki closer again.


While Wijaya as usual, the morning mode is active. Quiet, calm and cool like a mannequin. Mannequin who secretly observes Niki and Ryan.


"Graphic design!" shouted someone from outside the warehouse.


They're traveling together. And when he got in front of the warehouse. Niki was shocked again.


For the second time, he hoped that his spirit could come out for a moment to shout into the sky.


He said warehouse, why is there a badminton field?!


Deja vu


Third dream, badminton field.


Who could have thought that the field without the net turned out to be a work training warehouse?!


His memory was again made flashback. The beginning of the third dream is Niki standing in a room with a very high roof, like a gor. Then, under the roof there is a badminton field that is not attached to the net rope.


Niki in her dream did nothing. Except leaning against the red cloth and staring at the people who were watching him.


At first, he believed his dream was that he was a famous badminton player being photographed, because there were cameras and humans laughing happily. But strangely, the laughter embarrassed him and bowed.


Si Mas reappeared. The man stood to the left and stared at him. And when He bowed in shame, Si Mas was the only person who was sensitive and moved to the back of the camera.


Niki's dream man only noticed his shooting session from behind the camera that highlighted Niki's face. And because of that, his confidence slowly returned.


The third dream was her favorite dream. His emotions come into play and when He awakens, it is the first time He likes his meeting with Si Mas.


And for the first time, he hoped Si Mas was real.


Sweet Pills listened to all those fun stories. His best friend remembered how happy Niki was during the talk about the third dream.


"You know Sweet Pills, Si Mas is a nice guy and very considerate. Of all the people, only he turned around like that. As if he knew, I was very nervous when I wanted to be photographed. Cool, right if there really is a man like him?! And who knows, I'll be a real athlete."


His words became real. What happens, then it happens.


For the first time, there is an open photo fitting location like this. Not in an enclosed space, but in a stuffy and hot warehouse.


Each participant of the design can turn, Ryan, Antony, Gregor, Mita, Safira, and Marzuki making fun of them to break the focus. It's like a child.


Niki's sweat slowly drips, then she wipes. He tried to calm down repeatedly. Stand alone and watch many eyes. Anyone must be groggy.


Then, comes the time.


"Eleven! Niki Keita!" shouted the photographer.


"His hand is relaxed." he said again.


Niki wanted to, but her hands shook violently. Ryan blatantly starts him at the spot with Marzuki who suddenly shoots Niki using his hape.


Already groggy, now he was upset. His expression now cannot be taken. Please, give him some extra time.


Wijaya who had activated the morning mode, just stood next to see other participants during the shooting session. He's very sensitive. The man immediately took two steps back and walked over to the photographer.


He even directed the photographer to take Niki's face slightly to the left to fit the middle. Not a single bit of his eyes saw Niki who was groggy.


Nature is proving to Niki that Vijaya is the one.


Niki realized, the feeling that He experienced in the dream is really real now. The grooves are gone, the hands are no longer shaking, somehow the laughter of Ryan and Marzuki disappeared, the focus is now only one person, Wijaya.


Thank ye.


"Well, yeah! Goody. Keep the smile yes. One. two.."


The photo succeeded.
