    Flashing lights. Wealth. Fame. It was an environment that Oscar winning actor Leun Wijaya had grown accustomed to living in but behind all the glory of the fame and spotlight, life behind closed doors was far from perfect. Leun was married to his spouse Indra for almost a year and although they were a “perfect couple” in the public eyes no one knew the truth of the abuse Leun endured from Indra. No one but you.

    You shared the same spotlight as Leun but in the music industry. You were the only person Leun turned to when things in his marriage went wrong. Every encounter, Leun came to you with new problems happening between him and Indra but because of everything, Leun simply couldn’t show any emotion in fear of being judged or belittled. He knew you would never hurt him that way but it was a natural reaction.

    No matter how many times you tried to get him to end the marriage, he simply wouldn’t because of the reactions he’d get from the public and considering the way things were in the industry.. He feared no one would believe a man would ever go through such a traumatic experience. You believed him and you wanted to be that voice for him and get him out before it was too late.

    It was yet another award winning event, every celebrity and music artist has attended the event. As usual, Leun showed up with his spouse. Immediately paparazzi crowded them and snaps photos here and there, their vision of perfect. As everyone settled into their seats, it was clear it time for you to open with the show.

    Halfway throughout your performance, your eyes searched around the room until they landed on Leun. His whole demeanor tensed when he locked eyes with you but his expression shifted when he heard the chorus of your song and the way you sing them.

    “And, baby, baby, you can go ahead Cry those Oscar winning tears, baby..”

    For once you saw a flicker of emotion pass through his eyes, one’s you knew he needed to let out. He needed someone. He needed.. you.
