Anastasia was surprised when she saw Danzel suddenly at the shooting location carrying a bouquet of roses. Lisa, who was talking to the crew, came closer when she saw Anastasia who ran to greet and hug Danzel with a smiling face. This of course made several infotainment journalists present to take pictures of the incident.
"You here? How come?" asked Anastasia.
"Meta told me the location, and I'll be right here," Danzel replied.
Uhm...
The couple immediately turned their heads and Anastasia smiled when she saw Lisa was already standing near them.
"Ma'am, this is Kevin. Honey, this is my brother as well as my manager," said Anastasia introducing Danzel to Lisa.
"Oh, this is apparently the one named Kevin. We finally met, huh. Alright, Anastasia has to go back to the photo shoot, you can talk to me there, huh," said Lisa, pointing to the tent specially prepared for the artist crew. Anastasia nodded at Danzel, and the young man immediately followed in Lisa's footsteps.
"Who?" asked Steven as Anastasia returned and posed beside him.
"Who do you think he is?"
"Your boyfriend?"
"If it wasn't a boyfriend, he wouldn't have brought a bouquet of flowers, could he?"
Anastasia saw the disappointment on Steven's face, from the start she had seen that something was wrong. Apart from fans, Steven really wants to ride the fame of Anastasia. He had thought that if he could get close and it was rumored that he was dating Anastasia, his popularity would increase. But, it's a shame there is a thorn in the barrier. Throughout the duration of the shoot, Steven tried to act professional although he occasionally stole glances at Anastasia who looked happy.
Meanwhile Lisa and Danzel seemed to be seriously talking.
"So, you're Kevin? I have to thank you for what you did to my sister. Over the past two years, Anastasia has turned into a quiet, introverted and very introverted person. She only wants to leave her room during meal times. She doesn't want to shoot and stuff. writes the screenplay, and even then he hides his identity."
Danzel looked at Lisa, it didn't seem wise for him to lie to Lisa too. Danzel weighed and finally the young man took a deep breath and exhaled slowly.
"Miss Lisa, I hope you don't misunderstand if I tell you this. Actually, I'm not Kevin, Ma'am."
Lisa gasped in surprise. He looked at Danzel curiously. Danzel told Lisa everything. About her feelings, her relationship with Kevin. Lisa listened intently. And, unconsciously tears dripped from his eyes.
"I don't know what to say. But, I applaud the friendship between the two of you. But, after all, you can't lie to Anastasia all the time, can you? However, I myself doubt whether she can take all this seriously. Our father died. because of the same disease as Kevin. And, Anastasia used to be the person who was hardest hit after Mama. It's just that there used to be Mama who accompanied, then when Mama left, everything changed. And now that smile can come back because of you."
Danzel exhaled.
"That's what Kevin said, Ma'am. He didn't want Anastasia to be sad again and shut herself in. So, he asked me to take his place. I don't mind at all because honestly I also felt love again when I met Anastasia, Ma'am. I'm sorry for both of us," said Danzel.
"This love you don't know what love is called. You know that you love the same girl. But, one of them relents and the other even though he loves is not selfish. Honestly, I'm touched. Anyway, do Kevin's parents know about this?"
Danzel nodded his head.
"You know, Ma'am. Kevin's mother already knows everything. She has also asked Kevin to be honest, but Kevin is stubborn, Ma'am."
"Just keep it a secret from Anastasia. I don't think I'm ready to see her go down again."
"I will help, Ma'am. I also want to see Kevin happy, I know that Kevin's happiness is Anastasia. Right now we just need to pray for both of them," said Danzel. While they were talking there was someone who had heard and felt touched.
Finished with the photo shoot, Anastasia accompanied by Danzel, Meta and Lisa rushed to a mall where there will be a fan and press meeting of course, related to the promotion of the latest Anastasia film.
"Why is it late, Mbak? Isn't the event held at night, is it?" asked Anastasia.
"I don't know, this is the committee following the schedule. We have already signed the contract, just come along," answered Lisa.
When they arrived, Anastasia's fans immediately rushed to make Lisa and Meta a little overwhelmed. Fortunately, there was Danzel who swiftly embraced Anastasia and took her to the place where the event took place on the 4th floor of the mall. The event was held at Cinemax because there will also be a Nobar event with the main cast of their latest film.
"Mbak Anastasia, is the young man who brought flowers to the photo shoot your lover?" asked one of the infotainment reporters who had been at the shooting location.
Anastasia looked at Lisa, and when she saw her sister signaling with a wink, Anastasia got up from her seat and went straight to Danzel who was standing not far from Lisa.
"Yes, Mas is right. Introducing everyone, the man beside me is named Kevin. He is my lover. Don't ask me where we met and how we became lovers. I will explain that later, now you can only ask about my new film. Let's just say this news is a bonus for you guys," said Anastasia.
Danzel, who was completely unprepared, was of course taken aback. He did not expect that Anastasia would introduce him to the media. And, for the rest of the event, Danzel could only remain silent and accompany Anastasia.
When the event was over, Anastasia who was with Danzel in her car looked very happy.
"Let's go straight home, shall we?"
"You are tired?" asked Anastasia. Danzel nodded his head, "He does feel tired because he has never attended a busy program like Anastasia did. Moreover, he is tired of lying.
"Okay, take me home, okay. Just follow the car that Mbak Lisa is driving," said Anastasia again. Danzel smiled and nodded.
"Sorry, if I suddenly came to the location."
"I actually like the surprise you gave me. Thank you, yes."
"Equally love."
After taking Anastasia home and saying goodbye to Lisa, Danzel immediately headed to the hospital. There was something he had to do. And, it should have been a while ago he did. He only hoped that what he was currently doing would bring good results.
