Nan and Din's chat continues...
"LOL, you've got a point! How about this, we ordered breakfast as we liked and we eat it together while doing video call?!" Din suggested breakfast on a video call so they can have their meal comfortably.
"That sounds okay for me." Nan agreed to Din's suggestion.
"Okay then, tomorrow at 7.00 am, okay?"
"Sure"
"Perfect. Good night, Nan! Sweet dreams!"
"lol alright, thanks. See you tomorrow!"
On the next day, Din woke up at 6.00 to prepare everything. Take a shower, put a nice and comfortable outfit, even did his hair to make sure he looked handsome. Din knew Nan is also a fan, but she never showed it and Din wants to make himself as handsome as he was on screen to make her happy. He made his simple breakfast, oat bread with two scrambled eggs, and 1 cup of green tea.
Din texted Nan, "I'm ready!". It's strange, Nan usually replied right away. It's 7.15 am, Din tried to call Nan, but she didn���t pick up. Din decided to wait for Nan.
Din waited for almost 2 hours but there's no news from Nan. Din's manager will come in 20 minutes to pack Din's stuff for today's schedule. Din thinks Nan maybe had something urgent to do and tell him after, so he ate his own breakfast and clean up.
Doing all activities, photoshoots, commercial videos, etc. Din keeps checking his phone when he is off the screen. Din saw Tan walking toward him, they have seen each other for a few times and Din greeted him. Tan also does the same and said, "actually you can drop this formal greeting, we'll share a lot of time on the upcoming series." Tan smiled gently to Din. " Okay, P'Tan."
"So how's your day, Din? I've heard your popularity rise so much just in a few days! That's awesome!"
"Honestly, It's fun but I'm also tired of this nonstop schedule."
"Yeah, that's why our job is to take care of our health both body and mind!"
"Wow! Thank you for the advice, P' Tan."
"Don't mention it. Oh, one more thing. I knew this from P'Tol (Din's manager), you know Nan right?" Tan asked.
Din smiled but his face hardened. "Why did he ask about her?".
"I have something to talk to her."
Din didn't reply and drown in his thought, "What the hell something important that he want to talk about to my Nan? On top of that, I haven't heard anything about her today."
"Din?? Oi, Din!"
"Ha! Oi, P' Tan. Sorry, I'm dozing off."
Tan patted Din's shoulder and said, "Don't force yourself, get some rest." and he's off.
"Okay, P' Tan."
Din saw Tan cares about him and remind him to rest, but Din is still worried about Nan. There is no new message or any new info about her.
2 days have passed, there's still no information from Nan. Din becomes restless. Veo also didn't pick up the phone or replied to any of his messages. So, Din chooses to drown in his schedule non-stop.
"Nan, Where are you?" Din drown in his worries and felt his eyes were full of water. He wiped it before it falls.
P' Tol drive Din home and felt Din being silent for the past 2 days. If he isn't dozed off, he will stare at his phone and not talking if it isn't related to work.
"Din, you okay?". P' Tol got worried.
"Uhuh, I'm fine. Thanks for the ride, P' Tol." Din waved his hand and walked to his condo.
Din got home and sleep right away. The next morning, he's awake at 6.00 am and went to the kitchen. Din opens the refrigerator and drink infused water for his health. He got his eyes on the eggs and recalled that breakfast he wants to have with Nan. He lost his appetite, skip breakfast, and went out to jog by himself. He jogs around his condo wished he could calm himself down and got right back after to prepare for work.
Din working until late at night. P' Tol can't stand seeing Din overwork himself and talk to Din, "Din, I've been thinking thoroughly about this." P' Tol said. "What is it?" Din asks in confusion. P' Tol breath hardly, "I'll postpone your schedule for tomorrow."
"What? Why? It's so sudden. No, I don't want to!" Din refused right away.
"Just get some rest, will you?" P' Tol talked to win nicely and Din rejects his offer a bit persistently.
"What? No! Can't you see? I've been working diligently this week." but P' Tol insist Din and scold him right away and explained why he forced Din to rest,
"I can see you're overworking yourself. I don't know what's been bothering you, but don't be hard on yourself! Just think of it as a reward for your hard work this week! No more complaining, Okay?" P' Tol said firmly.
"..." Giving some thoughts about what P' Tol said, Din stopped rebutting and nodded. P' Tol stands up and starts to prepare to contact clients for Din's tomorrow day off. Din exhales and leaned his head for a while the continue his work. The photoshoot that day doesn't feel fun as usual and waving his fans when he walks to the car feels tiring.
"Maybe, It's because I had too much attention when actually I just need one."
Din starts to think about how will he spend his day off tomorrow. The last time Din had his day off, he spent all that time with Nan, comforting her. It wasn't for himself, but he had a good time back then.
Din arrived at his front door and realized that he got a message. He shocked after he checks his pop up notification and clicked it without thinking. Din can't believe Nan just send him a message. Nan just texted a few words and it was an instruction.
"Come to the rooftop"
Din read the instruction and went to the emergency stairs, he was going take the elevator at first but it will take a long time to wait. Din just wants to see Nan's face as soon as possible. Din reach the front door to the rooftop and he opened it. It was so bright till it blinds Din's eyes for a moment.
