PALOMAS
Chapter 11 Paloma


Paloma was silent for a moment and then decided to lift the call from his grandmother with a pounding heart.


"Good morning, my dear Grandma." Paloma.


"Good night, baby." Reply grandmother.


Paloma was surprised to hear the greeting from his grandmother and only realized the time difference between America and Indonesia about 12 hours, so he only realized that in Indonesia now is at night.


"I'm sorry, grandma." Paloma.


"Yes, it's okay, beautiful granddaughter." Reply grandmother.


"Paloma, grandma wants to talk to you." Said his grandmother who made Paloma's heart beat fast.


She felt her grandmother would talk about her marriage again.


"Iyy, yes, grandma." Paloma said nervously.


"Paloma, grandma is getting older now. Grandma is no longer able to work. You better go back to Bali. You're 21 years old, Paloma." Said her grandmother heading to the subject.


Paloma fell silent and then sighed.


"But grandma, I'm still in college. Less is more. Just another year, grandma." Paloma tried to buy time.


"You promised me that at 20 years old, you'd come home. But even now you still haven't come home." Grandmother said.


"Is all this because of the male singer..!" Said his grandmother with a tone of voice that started to rise.


"Sir, this is purely because I want to go to college, Grandma." Answer Paloma.


"Grandma don't worry, we're just regular friends." Paloma replied lying to calm his grandmother's heart.


"Grandma hope you remember our family deal. Don't tarnish our family's good name, remember it's Paloma." Grandmother said.


"Yes, grandma. I get it." Answer Paloma.

Meanwhile, Jacob's manager was silent while holding his forehead. He felt stuck trying to find a way out for the two of them. He snapped his finger and said :


"Ahaaaaa...! What if you just build a house there? You have enough money to build a house for you and Paloma there." Manager says.


Jacob who played his guitar finally stopped his finger-pointing.


"Do you know the law in Indonesia?" Ask Jacob.


"Emang why?" His manager was astonished.


"Ahhhhh, when you do not know. Foreign Citizens are prohibited from owning a home there, unless you have to marry a citizen there." Said Jacob.


"Emang should drag it, huh? Says Who?" Ask the manager in astonishment.


"Say Paloma." Jacob answered briefly.


"Jacob, I have another idea..." His manager said, but before finishing his words, Jacob hunted down to cut his sentence.


"Whatever your proposal is, I've already talked about it with Paloma." Jacob said as he put down his guitar.


"Paloma will not change its stance. He'd rather save his family than his love." Keep Jacob.


"I give up whatever will happen to my love and Paloma. " Jacob said while taking a deep breath.


"But the problem is, the turmoil of your heart has damaged the concentration of your work. Lately you've been pensive and your performance's been going down a lot." Manager said.


"I can't control my heart. I'll just go through all this. Whatever you want." Jacob.


Manager Jacob could only sigh and shake his head. He no longer thinks about all this. He finally handed it all over to Jacob.

While Paloma was chatting with her grandmother, Christina suddenly came. So Paloma had reason to end his conversation with his grandmother. He was already sultry to hear his grandmother's words that were long in his ears.


"Yes, yes, love you, muach.muach..." Paloma said ending the conversation with her grandmother.


"Who? Must be grandma?" Christina asked with curiosity.


"Not." Sahut Paloma is short.


"Keep who?" Paloma asked with a smile.


"The ghost that keeps shadowing my life." Paloma replied with a sigh.


Christina laughed at the reply from Paloma. Paloma could only take a breath while looking at Christina who continued to laugh.


"Already, just follow the advice of grandma, so you can be safe." Christina.


Paloma who heard Christina's words immediately closed her ears. He was lazy to listen to Christina's talk.


"Basic brat." Paloma's grouse saw Paloma's behavior.


"Paloma, let's take a shower. We're leaving now." Christina said again.


"Where else are we going, Christina. I'm going for a walk in the Aussie. Want to enjoy the wild before I get back to Los Angeles." Paloma.


"We're going to Paris. Enjoy the atmosphere of Paris later. It must fit your fashionable style." Christina.


"I'm not passionate, Christina. I am not in a good mood." Paloma Sahut.


"Paloma dear.., I can be battered if you cancel the work that we have agreed. Let's go back to the Aussie to stay a little longer, okay." Christina.


Christina then sat down next to Paloma's bed.


"You're only there for a little while, because you're just a Dessire perfume ad." Christina said as she stroked Paloma's hair. Christina tried to persuade Paloma because lately the performance and performance of Paloma somewhat decreased.


"There you will introduce a perfume house and some accessories related to the perfume in use." Christina.


"Come on, Darling. Let's go." Christina said as she pulled Paloma's hand.


Paloma did not say, reluctantly he got up from his bed and went straight to the bathroom. His grandmother's words were still ringing in his mind.


He then went to Kingsford Smith Airport in Sidney with Christina. They went to Paris to do their job there.


Christina must give full attention and support because during the job, Paloma looks not as usual. He looks not too excited so Christina has to spend her extra abilities to make their work in accordance with the expectations expected. After doing her job, Christina took Paloma around France. He took Paloma for a walk to various places that became tourist destinations in France. He hopes Paloma can be more entertained and relaxed for the problems he faces.


First, Christina took Paloma to the Eiffel Tower which became an icon of Paris. Christina invites Paloma to enjoy the beautiful landscape of the Eiffel Tower from a distance. They walk around the Champs de Mars Park in the Eiffel Tower. Enjoy street food and bread sold in the surrounding area. Afterwards, Christina invites Paloma to eat steak and drink wine at Le Jules Vernes Restaurant which is on the second floor of the Eiffel Tower. After that, they spend their time enjoying the beautiful city of Paris from the top of the tower. What a beautiful sight this is, Paloma murmured in his heart.
