"Well, we didn't seem to talk much at the restaurant, right?" Asked Din to start a conversation.
"We..? Isn't that you?" Nan ask back with disagreement.
Din smiled, holding his laughter. Then Din answered her.
"You've got a point, I'm sorry haha"
We laugh. Then they get to the serious part.
"Honestly, they already send me your script, but I have a tight schedule last week and this week would probably the same"
"So, what do you suggest?"
"Uhh.. I still can make time to read on break but I think I also should hear the story details from you"
"I see. Alright, I'll help you."
"Really? Thank you so much naa. Oh, can I saved your number?"
"Oh, yeah sure. It's ... "
"Kaayy"
"Help me succeed too naa, Nong Din"
{"Nong" is a word to address someone younger, "Phi" is for someone older}
smiled Nan.
"Of course naa, Ph... Wait, you're older than me?"
"Yep, two years older"
answered Nan confidently.
"Wha.."
Din gasped, seems to oppose on something.
"Din, let's go!"
Din's manager called.
"Okay.... See you next time guys!"
He waved at Nan and Veo while all of us heading out of the meeting room.
******
Nan have arrived at her condo and go straight to bed, laying backward.
"Huph!" *the tiring sound, dropping her face into the pillow
It has been a long day, since the announcement. As if waves that keeps coming to her, she had trouble controlling her self. If she want to maintain her composure she should be strong enough to overcome this waves, she should be at ease to clear her mind, that what she thought.
After those thoughts going into her. she looked into her schedule and she found two days off from her daily activities.
"Okay, Let's do this, Nan!"
taking a breath to convince herself. Then so, she decide to wander around for these two days off.
******
7.00 am. Nan prepared herself with casual clothing and a light make up. She's also didn't forget to bring notes, in case she think of an idea. This is a habit for Nan and it was a good thing that helped her study several time. She checked a few places in the internet to wander around.
Then, first she'll take breakfast in a cafe, a one nice cafe of course. She take her car keys and went.
She picked out a vintage cafe with many books as decorations in the city. She ordered a package of breakfast with bread, eggs, and bacon also take mint tea as her beverage. she waited while zoning out seeing people walking passed by.
"Breakfast Package 1 and Mint Tea"
served the waitress.
"Yes, thank you"
smiled Nan.
She took a picture of her breakfast along with the ambience of the cafe.
"click"
Then she started having her breakfast. While she having her breakfast, she search on internet where should she be heading to after this one.
"hmm should I visited a nature-like place"
Then so she decided to go walk around at Lumpini Park.
As she walk through the trees, breathing some fresh-air, she sat down on a bench, closed her eyes and felt everything with all her senses.
"haa..... I wish I could be like this forever"
she said so to herself.
"pfft!"
She heard a voice. Then she opened her eyes, realizing a guy with hoodie and mask, as if he covering his face on purpose was beside her. She frowned for a moment in suspicion and calmed down after that. She stays there and keep doing whatever she want to do. In other words, she won't let this stranger ruined her moment.
A few minutes later. Nan think it's enough and she left that bench so, with the hoodie-man. She went to buy drinks and looking for another spot to chill.
Once again, she sat down below the tree and closed her eyes.
"Do you know that you're really like an old lady, now?"
She opened her eyes as she heard that familiar voice. Then she saw the hoodie-man before. She lifted her eyebrow and tilt her head. That man pull down his mask a bit and Nan's saw his face.
"Wha...!" Nan is surprised because that hoodie-man was Din all along. She almost catch attention with her reaction, until Din stopped her.
"Sshh!! Thank god this place is not crowded at this hour" he said while put his mask back on.
"What are you doing here!?" asked Nan still in surprised.
"This is my usual place to chill out. And you, what are you doing here?" He comes closer to Nan and sit beside her.
"Well, honestly I don't know but, wander around to spend time on my day off wasn't really bad." Said Nan.
"Oh! it's your day off?"
"yep"
"Then let me tell you this, day off is better to spend with people. at least you should bring someone along."
"really? why did you suddenly sound like an old man? haha." teased Nan.
"Is that a compliment? Thank you naa~" Din teased back.
"haha. Anyway, didn't you have work?"
"Nope, it's actually my day off too."
"Did I heard wrong or someone just said that it be better to spend my day off with someone?" Said Nan being sarcastic.
"Wow, you're being sarcastic now?" Din amazed.
"Yeah, right. Got a problem with that?"
"No, but hey, i've got an idea. How about this. I'll be you day off friend for today" asked Din.
"Ha?" Nan is confused with Din.
"Hm?" Din looked at Nan as if he asked Yes or No.
"No... I mean.. I don't mind but you're on your day off too don't you have anything you want to do yourself?" Said Nan.
She is worried about Din's time.
"Don't worry tomorrow is also my day off but I still didn't have plan for that"
Din laughed.
"Hm.. alright then... what should we do, now? I think I can't hold myself here anymore" after a few thoughts, Nan agree with Din and asked for the next thing that they should do.
"Agree, it's too hot. Well.... Oh, do you like painting?" Asked Din.
"Well, kind of" somehow anything related to art is acceptable for Nan.
"Okay, let's go to a gallery first!" Said the excited Din.
Nan smiled and somehow she grateful she met Din today. It was so resfreshing even for a few hours later.
