"What's? Why would you have an idea like this?" I put my glass back, didn't drink it.
Keegan is back at work today. From this morning until now we only talk as necessary. There's no talk of last night. I think we've come back as bosses and subordinates as before.
I thought my day would be a little quiet because Keegan didn't mind yesterday's events. But there are people who like to search because of me.
"You know for yourself the relationship of Tony Lesmana and Miss Catherine how, why even propose the man as the main character in this film?" keep Keegan sitting next to me.
"This is my opinion only. I don't have to force Tony. But of all the actors in this country I think he is the best fit to play Mario."
Losing You's. The online novel we are going to be working on is a movie. The story is about a couple who get into an accident the day before their wedding. As a result of the accident, the woman suffered amnesia. But the memories lost are only the memories of the past two years. And one of the things he forgot about those two years was, the fiancee.
"How the man will fight to get back his bride-to-be. His loyalty, his patience, his perseverance for the loved ones who instantly hate you, I think Tony Lesmana is best suited for this role."
Best fit of where.
He is indeed a shallow, tough fighter, I admit, but being loyal is by no means his nature. Such a role was a wonder for a creature like Tony Lesmana.
"The one who knows the most about the quality of one's acting is of course you. But I feel the role is not at all suitable for Tony Lesmana."
"Does this have anything to do with your personal problems?" Although his words were like insinuating, but the expression on the man's face was calm. It makes me so I can't be mad at him.
"Yes and no" I answered honestly. "Yes. Because I don't feel comfortable dealing with people like him anymore. Moreover, this will cause a scandal if I suddenly wear it again. And I don't think that man would have stayed silent if we offered him this role."
I can imagine what kind of excitement Tony and his fans will create. I must have been called the shameless one who licked his own spit. And Tony and his ladies will feel victorious.
"I don't want this movie to be crowded because of the actor scandal. "So I refused. I don't think the man's acting is the best. Well, not ugly, but not brilliant either."
When compared to foreign actors, who like Tony must only be a supporting actor who recently acted.
"I don't know what standard you're using to judge, but I don't agree at all with this proposal."
"Well if you say so. What can I do if you don't want to. After all, it was my own mother who was the actor I felt most suitable to play the character in the film Losing You later. I'm just giving my opinion."
Hearing those words, my brain was straight back. True, at this time we just had a casual conversation because we accidentally met and finally decided to have lunch together. Tony Lesmana will not play the role. Let alone play the script has not been written.
I cleared my throat for a moment. "I'm sorry I got a little carried away."
Mr. Tino laughed. "Yes, I was also a little carried away because of Mother's words. I think we're even."
I smiled withstanding shame. If I continue to extend this conversation, I'll be the one who looks like a fool. So I said, "I hope you'll find an actor who fits the role in the future. The script is about to be finished, right? I can't wait to see it." I immediately got up from the chair we were wearing for lunch together. "If you'll excuse me."
I immediately left after smiling a little and Mr. Tino replied.
"Why don't you remind me? I'll be embarrassed" I whispered to Keegan.
Me and Keegan hurriedly left the place.
"What's my schedule for today?" I asked Keegan.
"You'll see some trainees in half an hour."
"Ah, trainees. Alright. Looks like this is gonna be fun. Seeing young people with their talents."
***
I met ten trainees. Overall handsome men who can certainly make teenage girls scream to be willing to spend a month just to see them up close.
And the one thing that is so identical of them all is that their faces resemble all in my eyes.
Twins ten? Wow, that's great. I salute the mother who gave birth to them all.
Then one by one they began to introduce themselves.
"Hello, my name is Xei."
"My name is Elextro."
"My name is Droid..."
And my ears are starting to be unable to detect the names of their alien planets. I know the trainees at our place have unique names. It's been like that before. But that doesn't mean I'm used to the uniqueness of those names.
What once again I create a group with more grounded names.
Paijo, the main vocal. Carving, the visual. Boiman, the rapper. Bambang, lead dancer.
"alright. Nice to meet all of you" I said after their introduction and my thoughts were over. "I hope you practice more. Your debut time is approaching. I expect the best of you all."
"Good, Mom. Thank you." Thank you." They all bowed respectfully to me.
Next they dance and sing with very neat choreography. Their movements are aligned and regular. However the voices of some of them are very lacking.
I clapped my hands after they were done. They thanked me again and bowed, then one of them glanced at me. I'm a little sniffling. Not intentional, this was clearly a reflex from shock. Damn it, the boy laughed and saw me who was surprised by his behavior.
