Naya was quite afraid that Vera would not allow her to enter the competition, but Naya had strong reasons why she had to be permitted to enter the competition. This is all related to the interests of the company and the survival of his family, as well as all employees who work for her father's company.
Naya took a deep breath before she answered Vera and Fisa's question.
"I'm going to live in the dorm for a month because I am taking part in a modeling competition held by Mahardika Fashion."
"What? Hahaha, don't dream! How could you pass the audition? It's better to just resign before you embarrass the family's good name" sneered Fisa.
"That's right, you should just resign, let your sister Fisa join this competition" Vera defended her favorite daughter.
"It can't be like that, Mom. I have to take part in this competition. Besides, I've passed the initial audition. I'm one of the 10 models that will follow the next stage and enter quarantine," explained Naya.
"What? No way" Fisa could not believe what she heard.
"Didn't Sis Fisa read the list of names of the participants who passed?" asked Naya.
"Huh, what am I reading it for? My manager has taken care of everything. As a famous model, I don't need to take care of small things like that, the most important thing is that I pass and I'll win the competition. It's better if you resign now than later you will be more disappointed when I saw me as the winner, "said Fisa arrogantly.
"We'll never know what will happen next, so it's best not to be overly confident. Because I also have the same opportunity."
"Hah, that's impossible. An ugly duckling like you will never become a star in the sky. If you dream, don't be high, it will hurt when you fall" said Fisa arrogantly.
"I'm not afraid to fall. Because I will be sicker if I back off before trying. Mom, please give me permission" pleaded Naya.
"Not Mom, I could be embarrassed if the other participants found out that she was my younger sister. My reputation could go down."
"You just need to pretend that you don't know each other when you compete. So no one needs to know if you are sisters," said Putra helping Naya.
"But Mom, she will always bother me. How can I concentrate on participating in the competition?" Said Fisa spoiled, complaining to her mother.
"I have to enter the competition anyway, Mom. I can't take over papa's position in the company if I can't prove to the shareholders that I deserve to be in that place and the only way I promise right now is to win. This competition. I have to get back the client cooperation contract that Mahardika fashion took over. If Mother doesn't care about Papa's position in the company, of course, Mother can prohibit me from participating in this competition, but if you still expect Papa to occupy his position in the company, then allow me to participate in this competition and I promise to maintain Papa's position in the company "Naya said trying to convince his mother.
Vera seemed to think about Naya's words, even though Vera loved Fisa so much, she would not think stupidly. Vera can consider the merits of an action, of course, for this matter Vera will permit Naya because it concerns the company and it also means the survival of her family. Vera had no other choice, he had to permit Naya. There is nothing wrong with giving opportunities to other children. Maybe this will be good for Fisa because of course she can be motivated for Fisa to better master her knowledge.
"Very well, Mom will give you permission," Vera said.
Naya was relieved to hear that. She was grateful that her mother did not insist on holding him back.
"But, Mom? Fisa doesn't like her joining this competition."
"Why? Sis Fisa is afraid to lose to me?"
"What? Impossible. Don't hope. I won't let that happen."
"Then let's compete fairly" challenged Naya.
"That's right, said Naya. You can compete fairly. But Naya, don't bother your sister while participating in the competition. And pretend you don't know each other. So that Fisa can participate in the competition calmly."
"Yes, Mom. Thank you for the permission. I will do my best for our company and family."
"Yes. Take care of yourself. Sorry, Mother can't help you much. Mother should concentrate on Fisa."
Deg!
I wanted Naya to protest, screaming with all her might. Why is Mother so unfair to her but what can Naya do. Everything would be for nothing if she protested. Indeed, since childhood, Fisa has been Mother's favorite child. The proof is that Mother always keeps it like glass that is easily broken.
I don't know, ever Naya thought… maybe she was a stepchild or an adopted child. But Papa denied this. Papa then gave Naya a very good explanation. Naya never wanted to protest again. Let Mother be like that as long as Papa still loves Naya.
For Naya, that is enough, because her papa's love is very big for her, making Naya never thirsty for love.
"No problem, Mom. I can ask Mr. Reza to take care of my needs and the company also continues with Mr. Reza as my representative in the company. You don't need to worry about me. Mama can calmly take care of Ms. Fisa's needs," said Naya steadfastly, hiding her wounds. her heart deep down.
"Very nice."
"Then I'm leaving now."
Fisa is no longer holding Naya. She let Naya go with a condescending look. Fisa seems to underestimate Naya's skills. Fisa is indeed a pretty good model in her current career, her abilities cannot be underestimated but no matter how skilled a person is, if she is not careful or if she is complacent then bad luck could happen to her. No one will ever know what will happen next, so don't underestimate anything and always be on the lookout for achieving what you want. Hard work will never betray the results.
Naya headed to the hostel accompanied by Putra. Putra looks hard to part with Naya. But she shouldn't be selfish. This is all for Naya's good. Naya is fighting for her papa. Putra must support her, not hinder Naya's hard work.
A guard stops Putra. He is only allowed to escort to the gate.
"Take good care of yourself. Eat regularly, stay healthy and get adequate rest. You can call me whenever you want. I'm always ready for you."
"Yes, thanks? I'll go in first."
"Nay," Putra grabbed Naya's wrist.
"What?"
Putra looked closely at Naya's beautiful eyes. Stepped forward and brought his body closer.
"I'll miss you," he said softly, rubbing Naya's cheek. "Take care of yourself, okay?" Putra gently rubbed the top of Naya's head.
