Raja came when Amita was getting ready for the first segment photoshot. As usual, he had to pass a life test first before he could meet his lover, who was being held and caressed by uncle Larry.
"Just getting more handsome. Joining the gym, huh? Carbo diet, huh?" Larry asked, occasionally squeezing Raja's muscular arm.
Of course Raja was only able to glance amusedly, letting uncle Larry satisfy his cravings. Occasionally Raja shook off Larry's hand, which was sometimes too wild to touch Raja's chest and also opened one of the top buttons of his shirt.
"Hhm .. Unc, let me .. meet Amita first. We'll talk again." Raja's wry smile radiated and moved Larry's hand away.
Larry was forced to remove his hand rubbed on the idol's chest, "mmmwuaahh!" his aftermath throws kisses bye.
"Hiiihh!" shuddered Raja's then he walk away quickly.
"Bae, I'm bringing you an expresso," he said to Amita, who was observing the photo from the photographer's camera.
"Hey, you're here. How, have you called Dalton?" asked Amita when her make up was repolished.
"Not yet, Bae. His cellphone inactive."
"Let's just take a taxi again then."
"Dalton's motorbike?"
"I'll keep it safe with the cafe maid. I'll tell their to take it to the back garage so it's safe."
"okay, you stay overnight at my apartment. It's not that I don't want to take you home, it's just that the scent of the taxi car smell makes me dizzy," said Raja to Amita while the photographer who told her to start a pose.

In Raja's apartment, they both spent dinner together. Amita makes sambal matah with fried tempe plus steaming hot rice. She likes that kind of simple menu, and automatically Raja also likes it since Amita often stay overnight at his place.
Two o'clock in the morning, Dalton hasn't arrived yet. Amita was worried because she did not believe that Gia was with Dalton this afternoon. Even though she didn't know who Gia was, it was still unusual to hang out with girls late into the night.
"Have you called Dalton again?" ask Amita. She serves milk coffee at the table ready to watch a movie together.
"Perhaps, he fell asleep again in Blow ... fff ..."
Raja was interrupted, he spontaneously turned to the door. Dalton arrived carried by a cute woman wearing glasses.
"Drunk?" asked Raja approaching, accepting the pass of Dalton's body. The woman was still in place, awkward because there were other people in the room.
"Who are you, just come in," Amita said casually. "Is he drunk? Who's driving?"
"Umm .. yes. I was driving earlier. He's already really drunk, I'm worried."
"Oh, thanks for delivering Dalton. Please sit down!"
"Umm .. yeah, thanks," the woman replied doubtfully. "I want to just go home."
She immediately stood up again from sitting for a second. Like a confused person.
"What do you want to ride to go home?"
"Oh yes!" She scratched his temple which didn't itch.
"I'm Amita," Amita's hand reached out with a row of neat teeth accompanied by a sweet smile. "Raja's girlfriend, Dalton's cousin."
"I- I am, Gia. Dalton's friend," she replied back to Amita's hand, still with an awkward face.
"Alright, sit down again? Let's talk first. You can stay here too. There's an empty room upstairs."
"Umm, is that okay? My house is far away."
"Hohoo, of course you can. Raja likes his house to be crowded. Usually he is alone when Dalton doesn't stay." Amita pushed the cup filled with coffee milk towards Gia. "Not yet drunk, just for you."
"Thanks," she replied politely, with his head bowed in embarrassment.
Amita observe the woman. She was tall with long legs. Her hair is straight with a few curls at the bottom, looking salon care. Her face is also cute with recessed eyes, like a half-blooded Euro-Asia. She guessed to herself.
"Dalton's college mate?"
"Yes," she replied briefly, glanced at Amita, then looked back at the floor where there might be coins falling there.
Actually Gia was tired that night. She and some of her college friends celebrated another friend's birthday party at a downtown's club. The party ended at twelve, but Dalton invited him to join a follow-up party which was held privately at his friend's house.
The event was so rousing that Dalton couldn't remember the time. He finished several bottles of wine, forgetting that there was a Raja's car that he had to take home.
"At first we were about to go home early, but Dalton forced us to move locations," said Gia, feeling guilty and for the sake of not being labeled naughty.
"Hmm, it's okay. Dalton is always like that. He likes parties, so it won't stop until drop."
"Uum .. umm .. yes."
According to Gia, Amita is a friendly girl and is used to Dalton's behavior. Her expression seemed relaxed and didn't bother Gia's explanation too much. Unfortunately Gia didn't know what else to talk about, she couldn't find any other topics to discuss with people she just met.
"You want to rest? Let me take you to the room upstairs." Amita stood up and immediately turned around. Gia followed closely behind.
"Umm .. sorry. Can I ask somethin'?" Gia's voice trembled slightly between doubt and fear.
"Yeah, just ask," said Amita.
Raja's luxurious apartment had an elevator up to the second floor, and they were in the elevator to the guest room.
"Is Raja, I saw earlier ... Raja ... Alexian Raja ...?"
"Haha, yes, Alexian Raja. You didn't see it wrong. And this is his apartment."
"Then you, uum .. Amita ... Amitai Ora ... the senior model of the Leopard Agency?" Gia asked, widened her head and then closed her mouth, which was open wide-unbelievable.
Amita smiled and nodded quickly. All this time Gia had not dared to look directly at her, after Raja had left carrying Dalton's body into the room. She looked down because she was uncomfortable with the new atmosphere for her.
"You guys ... are really dating? Oh, sorry I mean, I don't know Raja is actually dating with you. Oh sorry I mean, I'm also a follower of Raja for a long time. Starting when Raja was still in high school, I've been following him. Oh my God! I was in his apartment, I just met him ... what dream I had all the time. Raja rarely posts your photos, and infotainment says you are just close friends. beautiful, friendly, and kind ... "
Amita stared in surprise at the delighted Gia. In his mind, Gia is nothing more than an innocent, homely person, and of course Gia's attitude is considered funny.
