The journey from Jakarta to Magetan took about seven and a half hours by car. However, the beautiful natural scenery in Magetan made the long journey worthwhile. The district was famous for its natural beauty such as mountains, waterfalls and lakes.
Upon their arrival in Magetan, they gathered at a hotel that had been booked in advance. Clifford, Dina, and Rini would also stay there, to make it easier for them to accompany Lilia. According to Louis's schedule, filming here would take about ten days. Most of the scenes would be shot in mountains and rivers.
Louis announced that they would be taking a break from a long journey today. They would just start shooting tomorrow. Lilia felt a little relieved to hear that she had ti to rest. Her body felt all sore after sitting in the car for hours.
When Lilia returned to her room, she realized that this was the third day since she asked her uncle to do a DNA test. According to Julius' words, the results would co out today!
At first, Lilia thought of asking Julius to do a DNA test between herself and llisa as well. However, because llisa's identity was quite sensitive and needed to be kept a secret, she got discouraged and cancelled her intention. Finally, Lilia asked Jean for help to do the DNA test.
Lilia sat on the sofa and stared at her cell phone's screen. She wanted to remind Julius of the test results, but there was a doubt in her heart. Even though Lilia was determined to find out the truth, she still felt afraid to hear the answer. What if she didn't like the answer, just like the story she heard from Jean about Kenneth yesterday?
While Lilia was caught in a dilemma, her cell phone suddenly rang. Lilia jumped and imdiately picked up with anticipation. But the voice that greeted her on the phone was different from Lilia's expectation.
"What are you doing now, Lilia?" Harold asked in a tired voice.
Lilia tilted her head, "What do you an?" She asked, confused. She didn't feel like she was doing sothing worthy of being scolded like that.
Harold hardly ever called her under normal circumstances. The man usually communicated through Other apps, even when he sent job offers to Lilia. Harold would only call her if there was anything urgent.
Harold massaged his forehead while sitting behind his office desk. He raised one leg with a sigh, "You definitely haven't opened your social dia as usual, right? If your assistant didn't notify , I would have been on the plane headed to Jakarta by now!" He scolded her.
"Huh? What happened? By the way, I'm not in Jakarta anymore. I'm currently shooting in Magetan." While talking, Lilia opened her social dia account. What else was happening on the internet now? Had her na gone viral again for sothing?
Before Lilia could figure out the answer herself, Harold had said, "Weren't you taken by the police car in Jakarta yesterday afternoon?"
"Ahh!" Lilia patted her forehead when she heard that. So that's what caused the commotion this ti! "I did get into the police car. Is there soone secretly taking my picture?"
If Lilia were in front of Harold right now, that man would definitely bite the artist! Couldn't this model be more careful in public?!
"What's the secret?! The photo was taken openly by one of the pedestrians!" He scolded, "Yesterday the photo didn't get much attention, but today soone uploaded your video when you were brought into the police car. As soon as the video was released, everyone is guessing what cris you have committed!"
Lilia understood the situation and nodded. Netizens must have been excited about this hot news, but Lilia didn't feel threatened. She didn't break the law, so she didn't have to feel guilty.
"In that video, who else is there besides ?" Lilia asked calmly. She wanted to make sure that llisa didn't get caught on cara.
Harold sighed, but still answered his question, "No one. The faces of the people in other police cars do not appear on cara." Harold shrugged, "Well, since you are fine, don't forget to clarify the news."
"Yes, of course." Lilia agreed imdiately. She felt a little guilty for worrying Harold.
"I hope you don't repeat this incident again! I've worked in the entertainnt industry for years, but this is the first ti I've t an artist like you! Just a few photos or rumors could spark such a stir!" Harold continued.
Lilia smiled faintly, "I'll take that as a complint." She jokingly said.
The two of them spoke again for a while before finally hanging up. Lilia imdiately took to her social dia and found that her na had co back as a viral topic. Even Lilia herself was sick of how often she went viral, let alone the netizens!
But fortunately, the photos and videos only raised questions and gossip among netizens. No one had intentionally defad Lilia through that incident. Indeed, so netizens accused her of breaking the law, but the majority of them chose to wait for an official announcent from the police. After all, being driven in a police car was not always a bad thing.
The comnt section for her videos and photos was full of questions and guesses from netizens. Lilia was surprised to find rry's [User1060] account, which had long since disappeared from the topic.
[User1060]: "Are you all blind? Look closely, Lilia Pangestu was neither handcuffed nor forced into a police car! All of you jump to negative conclusions too quickly! What a pessimistic human!"
[User9287]: "@ User1060, calm down a little sis, you don't need that kind of emotion."
[User2083]: "I believe in my goddess! Maybe my goddess was called to the police station to help solve a murder case!"
[User5278]: "@ User2083, did you watch too many detective movies lately?"
[Aphrodite Agency]: "Our artist, Lilia Pangestu, has headed to Magetan this morning to continue shooting. We have confird with the police that no law has been violated by Lilia Pangestu. Please don't spread nonsense rumors. Thank you for your attention."
Lilia smiled as she read the agency's announcent. She was relieved that Harold was always there to support her. Then she posted her own announcent.
[Lilia]: "Thank you for your concern. But all is well. I was not caught by the police nor did I commit any illegal acts. I'm currently focusing on filming in Magetan, so please pray my filming can be finished soon!"
Lilia added a photo of herself standing in front of the window. Behind her, the green and beautiful natural scenery of Magetan could be clearly seen. After posting it, she imdiately closed her social dia without checking the comnt section. Lilia had done her job by clarifying the news. What happened next depended on the reaction of netizens.
She sighed while enjoying the view of the shady trees and various flowering plants from her window. Then Lilia rembered sothing. She opened the Other app and sent rry a smiley face sticker. In just a few seconds, the woman imdiately responded.
[rry]: "Sis Lilia! I really, really really, really miss you!"
When Lilia read the ssage, she could imagine rry jumping up and down with joy. She smiled slightly and replied to her ssage.
[Lilia]: "If you miss , why haven't you contacted all this ti?"
[rry]: "Because I'm afraid that if I call you, I'll miss ho more than this!"
Lilia laughed off reading the ssage. rry hadn't changed at all!
[rry]: "Sis, you have to wait for to co ho, okay? I'll finish my studies in a flash and go back to Indonesia, then go back to being your assistant!"
[Lilia]: "Yes, I promise I'll wait for you."
After that, rry did not reply to her ssage again. Lilia glanced at the clock and realized that it was already midnight in Arica. Maybe rry stopped replying because she was busy doing her chores late at night.. Lilia decided to stop bothering the young woman.
