Ballet Performance

Dion arrives at the French Arts Building, where Emma will perform tonight. He went alone without Ega, carrying a bouquet of white roses he had just taken from Basta's room. Just so you know the flowers are still fragrant and very fresh like he just bought them. Whatever they bring from Earth, will also slow down their age including the flowers that Basta buys. Dion wore a black velvet suit with pearl accents adorning it. It looks luxurious and flashy but Dion really likes that kind of style.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the same building, Ega came with a painting that had been neatly wrapped. Before coming here, Juno suddenly knocked on Ega's room and brought a painting that wasn't too big. A silhouette of a woman who was moving gently like she was dancing. Beautiful but not too over the top and Ega really likes it, as with Emma of course. Ega came in a maroon suit with black brim in a classic style.

The show started, Dion and Ega did not know that they were at the same event. Previously in Malghavan, they had met in the hallway in front of their room.

"Emma's invitation is today right?" ask Ega to open the conversation.

"Ah, that's right. Are you coming?"

"Hm. I don't think so. I have other business. I have to buy some necessities for Althea," Ega said stuttering.

"Really? I don't think I'll be coming either. I have to do something with Basta," Dion said with a strange smile.

"Ah I see. Well then I'll go first," goodbye Ega finally went into his room.

Never once did they lie to each other. It's obvious they're bad liars as these two clearly don't do what they say to each other. But somehow they did trust each other and didn't ask further.

Dion sits in the front on the right while Ega is in the back four rows on the left. Emma's appearance is extraordinary even though she is not the main character in this performance. Their eyes were so impressed with Emma, ​​who this time used thick makeup with red lipstick. Her hair was styled into curls and pulled up in a bun. Of course in accordance with the concept of antagonist that he played this time.

Loud applause ended the performance of the players that night. The audience stood up showing respect. All the ballerina smiled proudly and happily. Ega and Dion tried to go backstage trying to meet Emma with their gifts. Dion asked a man who seemed to be a staff who then pointed in one direction. Dion tried to find Emma among the many other dancers until he found the figure.

"Hello Emma. Congratulations on your performance," Dion said as the girl looked at him.

"Oh hi, Dion. You came too. Thank you."

"Here are flowers for you. I was actually asking a friend what to bring because I didn't know what to bring," Dion small talk.

"Ah no. It's so pretty thank you again," Emma said sincerely.

"Em-" a voice interrupted the two.

"Ega? You came too," Emma said looking happy.

"Yeah I'm coming. And Dion I thought you weren't coming?" Ega said a little sarcastically.

"Ahaha. Yes I changed my mind earlier anyway Basta canceled his plans and you also said you weren't coming right?" Dion said still with a smile.

"Yes, it turns out that my business is finished faster than I thought," Ega said trying to relax.

Dion and Ega looked at each other looking for lies from each other's eyes. But apparently they are so quick to learn, once a lie then another lie will be created easily.

"Ah yes, Emma. I brought you something. Open it later," Ega said with a friendly smile.

"Ah thank you. You two are very kind. As a thank you anyway I don't have many friends to celebrate, how about the three of us have a drink?" Emma said.

"Oh okay," said Dion.

"Yes of course," reply Ega.

The three of them ended up in a bar that wasn't too crowded. Ordered a cocktail for each although Dion was a little hesitant because he couldn't drink too many drinks like that. He admits he sucks at drinking. Even though Ega is not very good at drinking, one glass of cocktail will not make him fall.

The lighting of the bar lights is indeed dim for the convenience of visitors, of course. But somehow makes Emma look many times more beautiful plus her perfect makeup tonight.

"You're looking great tonight, Em," said Dion.

"Hahaha. You guys are praising too much. Once again you guys say that kind of thing maybe I can fly up there," Emma said.

"I'm serious. You can definitely be the main character in the next performance. You look even better than that Cinderella," praise Dion again.

"Ah really? Well hopefully someday. You know it's a tough challenge for someone like me," Emma said with a hopeful smile.

"Someone like you? You mean beautiful and talented?" ask Ega.

"Hahaha. You guys are very good at complimenting. You must know that a business like this isn't enough just to be beautiful and talented. I'm sure Sister Maria has already told you a little about me," says Emma again.

"Yes actually yes. But then what's wrong with that?" asked Ega again.

"From childhood, I was used to being isolated. Everything could be two or three times heavier. I was always rejected by people who wanted to adopt a child because I was ugly. Even when I was at school I was always bullied because I came from an orphanage. Even when I tried my best to pursue my dream of becoming a ballerina, everyone booed because I thought I wouldn't be able to. Not only sharp pebbles but craggy rocks I've crossed to get to this point."

"And you're amazing for that, Em," Dion said praising.

The night was getting late and their chat was getting more exciting even though Dion seemed a little drunk there.

"I think you should go home now Ega. Look at Dio," Ega just realized that his brother was helpless beside him with a red face.

"Oh my gosh, Dion. It's just a bother," Ega said a little whisper.

"He can't drink?" asked Emma.

"In fact, he sucks!" say EG.

"Hahaha Gosh. Why force yourself to drink a cocktail if you can't afford it?" Emma was surprised.

"I don't know. Hm, but before I go, could you give me your phone number? If you don't mind," Ega said of course he hoped.

Without hesitation Emma wrote down the number on a sheet of tissue on the table and handed it to Ega. They split up at the bar and Emma said "you guys are lucky to have each other".
