12. Drama Queen

Soon there will be a performance from a popular band today scheduled at the Mall where Sari works. A lot of people gathered and the mall became crowded, the 10th floor mall seemed full.

Due to the live music, the salon guests were busier than usual.

customers can be seen going in and out of the door of 'Permata Beauty Salon', the four employees were busy taking care of their respective clients, Wati who is patiently doing nail beauty treatments on her clients- Mei.

Ica is busy with straightening tools trying to change her client's frizzy hair to make it look straight and smooth, as well as Dita, she gently massages the heads that had been smeared with brown cream on the hair of a woman who closed her eyes enjoying every touch of Dita's hand.

where is Sari, oh it turns out she is chilling in a room equipped with sophisticated equipment, she looks like she is caressing the face of a woman whose eyes are covered with cotton, this is one of the treatments that women are very interested in, especially it is a facial treatment that relaxes the face and makes the facial aura look brighter, shine again.

"Excuse me .." said a young girl opened the salon door.

"Yes, please, can I help you?" Asked Asya who was the owner of the salon, who had been at the cashier's desk replacing her busy employee.

"I want to do make-up, there is a family event for me at three pm. Is that possible you can do my face?" asked the girl who looked as 18 years old.

With a sincere smile, Asya immediately replied "oh of course, please wait a moment," asked her politely while inviting her client to sit on the comfortable sofa in the room.

Because the employees are busy with their respective jobs, Asya will do the makeup for this young guest. She is indeed an expert in polishing her face, it can be seen from her everyday appearance which is always stylish with bold make-up, looked neat and pleasing to the eye.

asya grabbed her cell phone immediately and she dialed one of the contacts on her cell phone.

"Hello .. you come here to help me!" Asya's voice sounded low and she immediately turned off her phone. She didn't want her client to be worried because of the long wait.

While preparing the tools that she will use, Asya invites her client to a room, where there is already a large mirror on the sides equipped with beautiful lamps that make the room brighter and cozy.

Not long after, a man opened the salon door, and took a seat in front of the cashier's desk. The man was Abra, whom Asya ordered to replace her.

About an hour and a half, Asya finished stayling the woman who came with an innocent face now looking like a bollywood artist who was ready to come to the party.

"Thank you, bro, for coming here," Asya greeted Abra who was sitting over there.

"It doesn't matter, sis, it won't take long," said Abra.

Asya smiled, "Hmm.. they are still busy, can you wait here until five o'clock how about?" Asya seduces her younger brother.

Abra just nodded his head, a sign that he agreed but half-heartedly, "okay… my boss, Asya," Abra teased his older sister.

"Good boy, you can take them home later," Asya touched Abra's chin and smiled leaving him.

"Hmm.. Will do it ma'am."

"I have urgent business, so I have to go now," Asya waved behind the door.

Abra is a nice younger brother, and according to his sister's request, because he knows very well that since their parents died, Asya was the one who gave all his needs, fortunately Asya married to a rich man who was kind, so her and Abra's life is full of guaranteed.

After about two hours hiding behind the room, Sari showed her face. It seems that she has finished with her client's, she washes her hands and drinks the glass of water she has always wanted.

"Where have you been," a voice familiar to Sari stopped gulped.

"You, Abra.."

"Shh.. don't be loud, the others will hear you," Abra put his index finger to Sari's lips.

"You, how come you're here?" asked Sari in a half whisper.

"Why not, I miss you," teased Abra.

Sari's face immediately blushed at Abra's words, she felt floating when Abra said he missed her, "you can do it," Sari said slowly.

Abra immediately hugged Sari from behind, he didn't want to waste this time even if it was only for a second, as did Sari, she was very resigned to Abra's embrace, a hug that she really wanted.

"Sari... the client is calling you," Wati's voice startled the two humans who were hugging each other.

Sari reflexively let go of Abra's hand which was tightly wrapped around her waist, "uh.. I'll focus on work first," said Sari softly.

Abra put on a sullen face like a child left by his mother, "Ehem.. please bring me water to my table!" Abra asked Sari, when Wati was near them.

"Okay," said Sari slowly.

she rushed to get a glass to be filled with water Abra asked for, and immediately ushered it to the cashier table where Abra sat, she put the glass in front of Abra, and Abra quickly accepted the glass and held her hand which was still attached to the glass.

"disgusting," hissed Ica sarcastically who accidentally saw them from the mirror in front of her.

Sari doesn't want to be lulled by Abra's presence in this room, she has to be professional while working, she immediately leaves Abra without a smile because she doesn't want her friends to be suspicious of their relationship, so she behaves like an employee to her boss as much as possible.

When they got home, they rushed to get ready, because they didn't want to make Abra wait and again, as usual, Dita got to work to lock the salon door.

"Abra.. wait for me!" Ica grabbed Abra's hand who walked first.

Abra was silent when Ica held his hand, he didn't immediately refuse because he didn't want Ica to feel discouraged, while Sari was silent and looked down at Ica's brave behavior towards Abra.

"Abra.. so yesterday you promised me right." Ica acted spoiled in front of Abra.

"I'll take a look at my schedule first," answered Abra, who looked at Sari behind him.

Sari looked away, as if she didn't care who was in front of her.

Suddenly, Abra freed his hand from Ica's hand that had been holding his since earlier "my cell phone is vibrating." said Abra looking for an excuse.

ica was annoyed at Abra, she immediately looked at Sari, she didn't accept Abra, he was uncomfortable when she held his hand and it made her feel humiliated in front of Sari.

"Aww.." Ica groaned as she fell on the floor.

Sari, Dita and Wati reflexively help Ica, while Abra is still busy talking on her cell phone.

"My leg sprained, uw, aw" Ica showed holding her leg.

"How can you walk, can you?" asked Wati.

"Try to stand up slowly ca!" telled dita.

"Aww.. aw.. it hurts, I can't, I was taken by the road sick" Ica moaned.

Sari approached Abra, and asked him to carry Ica into the car, Ica happily accepted the idea because that was her hope, in the end, her ridiculous plan succeeded making Sari jealous.

'It's really outrageous, Ica, how can she pretend to be sick so Abra will pay attention and carry her.' Sari thought annoyed, she knew very well what Ica's nature was.

Abra doesn't feel good right now, on the one hand he can't ignore Ica, where his protective spirit towards women when he sees helpless women, but on the one hand he is worried about Sari's jealousy, his lover who clearly saw his when helping and was forced to carry Ica earlier.

When they got home, they went into their respective rooms, as well as ica. She even looked okey and healthy when she stepped into the room.

'`Hey Ca, aren't your leg is sick?" asked Wati surprised me.

"Called drama, she usually played in the village jumping from trees to the river," Dita was cynical and didn't care about Ica.

"Does your leg hurt Ca?" Sari also cares.

"No, no, I was just pretending, I want to see Abra care about me," Ica answered sarcastically.

"You are a victim of soap operas, ca," Wati chuckled.

"Sometimes we have to play a role to lure men, honey," said Ica.

"The fish must be caught," Wati was even more amused.

"I'm the fish, the cat is him, so I hope to be eaten by him hahaha," Ica laughed with satisfaction.

Sari didn't want to get burned with Ica's joke, she immediately went into her room, and closed the bedroom door with a slight slam. leaning against the door, she remembered what had happened in the last afternoon with Abra.

"Ah, I need him!"
