BXBX NOVEL Chapter 416 - The Competition Is Fierce
Anya was the first to enter the second round. But even after the second half started, she didn't move. Her face looked serious.
"Mother, what's wrong with Anya?" Aiden asked suspiciously.
"The Pratama family is a spice maker. It wasn't difficult for Keara to determine the quality of spices and make essential oils. However, this was very difficult for Anya. She doesn't have much skill to do with spices. How could she determine the quality?" Diana showed her concern.
Aiden's eyes looked deep as he looked at his wife from a distance. It looked like the second half of this competition favored Keara.
Today, Galih and Indah also came to accompany Keara. Once Keara made it through the first round and into the second half, Indah's face was full of smiles. "Keara won't lose!"
"I hope Keara will get the best results today," Galih's affectionate gaze fell on her daughter. But at the same time, he also looked at Anya who was standing still in her place. He felt a little uneasy in his heart.
He took the opportunity while his wife was still focusing on Keara and looking into the surrounding audience seats. As he expected, he saw that Aiden and Diana were staring at Anya with worry.
Finally, Anya collected the results before the second half ended.
Keara had the advantage in this round so her score was much higher.
"Congratulations to both of you. I saw Keara was young but very talented," Imel approached Galih and Indah.
"How can Keara match you, the owner of Amore? You can even teach her to be great like this," Indah said with a smile.
Galih didn't say anything. Even though her daughter was engaged to Ivan, she didn't like Imel at all. In his heart, he really hated this cruel woman. She used any means necessary, including injuring Diana to get Amore.
"I have no talent in this field. I'm not as good as Keara," Imel laughed at herself.
Indah said nothing in return. Imel couldn't make perfume, but she could run Amore to this success. That was her ability.
The second half ended and they headed straight for round three.
"I don't know what's in the third round," Galih asked confusedly.
"The participants should make perfume directly," Imel replied. She often brought her subordinates to participate in perfume competitions because if they won, she could also advertise Amore for free.
It's true like what Imel said, a few moments later, the host read out the rules regarding this competition.
The organizer had provided the necessary materials so that the participants could immediately make it on the spot.
This last round was the most important one.
Although their scores in the first and second half were not very high, if the participants could produce a good perfume, the chances of winning were very high.
Even though Anya's score was not high in the second round, she could still win this competition if she could produce a good perfume in the third round.
Compared to Keara who was very tense when she entered the third round, Anya looked very calm because her perfume recipe matched her style perfectly.
But Keara panicked because she didn't know that the perfume recipe written in the second half would be used in the third round.
During the second half, Keara's main goal was to choose the best spices and take them all as part of her perfume without thinking about how they were mixed with each other.
She thought that she would secure her victory by choosing high-quality spices.
In the jury seat, the judges discussed with each other. "Are you aware that participants number 6 and 9 are very similar? I can't tell them apart,"
"Are they twins?" Someone said excitedly. If it was true, wasn't it great that there were twins with the same interests and competing in the same competition…?
"Number 6's name is Anya Tedjasukmana and number 9 is Keara Pratama. Their last names are different."
"Maybe they used their father's name and their mother's name in this competition. I bet they are twins."
Indah and Galih sat in a few rows behind the judges. When they heard the comments of the judges in front of them, their face looked pale.
Imel looked at Indah and saw the change in expression on her face. As soon as she saw Indah's expression, a sneer crossed Imel's face before she immediately covered it with a smile.
"Anya and Keara are very similar. Even the judges have a hard time to tell them apart," Imel said on purpose.
"No wonder there are people who look alike. After all, there are tens of millions of people in this world," Galih said coldly. His hand reached out to take his wife's hand.
Feeling her husband's warm hands, Indah's mood immediately improved.
"Keara Pratama is the daughter of Galih Pratama, the king of spices in Indonesia. He is a producer of spices and is now in the perfume industry. Looks like Keara has both natural talent and superiority."
"Number 6 isn't bad either. Can't you guess who Anya Tedjasukmana's mother is?"
"Who?" Several jurors asked in unison.
"Amore's inventor, Diana Hutama. Her perfume is still the best-selling perfume ever created by Amore."
"Ah! It turned out that she was Diana Hutama's daughter. No wonder she got through the first half very well and was the first to enter the second half."
"The results of the first and second half of this competition are only to show that the participants have a solid foundation in the perfume industry. That's not enough to become a perfumer. In the end, it all depends on the quality of the perfume they create."
"I heard that Anya Tedjasukmana is very talented in making perfumes. According to the data, she is still 20 years old. She is still very young."
"I like this number 6. She seems gentle and kind. I hope she can give us a wonderful surprise."
"I'm also looking forward to Keara Pratama's product. I wonder what kind of perfume will be created by the princess of the spice king."
…
Time was running out. Diana clasped her hands tightly, feeling uneasy. However, Aiden still looked calm and relaxed ever since the third round began.
It was because he saw that his little wife was neither nervous or anxious. Anya even looked a little proud and confident in her creations.
Today, Anya wore a white dress specially designed by Maria. On Bima's birthday, Maria had promised to give Anya her own design and she felt that this competition was the right time. With that dress, Maria showed her support for Anya and wished her the best for her beloved sister-in-law.
In addition, Anya also wore a gold bracelet inherited from Aiden's mother.
Anya had only used the bracelet once, when Maria asked her to have dinner at the Atmajaya Family house to make Imel angry. After that, Anya kept it carefully for fear that this very valuable object would be damaged or dirty.
On this important day, she wore the dress prepared by her sister-in-law and the gold bracelet inherited from her mother.
Diana braided Anya's hair, making her look very beautiful and fresh.
During this competition, Anya became the most beautiful participant in the room. Besides Anya, Keara was also the center of attention because their faces were so strikingly similar.
Bima and Maria were sitting in front of their large TV in the living room watching the live broadcast of the competition.
Bima realized that Anya was wearing the gold bracelet he had given her. He didn't say anything, but his lips curled slightly, showing satisfaction.
Maria said happily, "Dad, I designed and prepared the dress that Anya wore today. Isn't it pretty?"
"I didn't expect her to be the champion. But with such fine clothes and gold bracelets inherited from the Atmajaya Family, she should at least get a second or third prize," Bima snorted.
