One girl coughed a little and expressed a fake smile while saying, "Mam, I am your biggest fan."
Priscilla chuckled a bit and responded: "Wow! Then I feel great to see my fans smoking and bad-mouthing about me even if they are on the edge of their big mistakes."
Another girl replied: "Mam, we didn't know that it was you I mean we are not doing all this to enjoy our lives. Everyone has their personal problems, so do ours. Likewise we poor and homeless people release our tension by smoking."
Noah: "Do you think that what you are doing is right for your life I mean it is going to harm yourself not anyone else and what do you think about tension? Moreover, depression or tension cannot be released by doing such kind of stupid act."
A girl: "Sir you might be right but we have our reasons to do that."
Priscilla: "What reasons made you smoke that badly?"
Another girl: "We are pissed off with this life, the people around us. They just like to behave like slaves we hate being poor. Sorry to let out but the fact is that you should not care for us because you have never experienced life in poverty."
Priscilla smiled, took a deep breath, and stopped towards a wooden bench on the side of the street while saying, "You might be my biggest fan but you never tried to know a big secret of your idol. Always remember not every celebrity experiences a luxury life, I mean not every celebrity is born rich. While noticing you like this, I just reminded you of my past this is why I wanted to stop you from performing this kind of rubbish activity because I already have experienced the juncture that you are experiencing right now. My fans made me extremely disappointed today."
A girl in bangs: "Mam, please don't feel disappointed we promise that we will not smoke again and we are very sorry for what we said behind your face I promise you on the behalf of my friends also that we will not even touch any cigarettes again in the future."
Priscilla: "Okay but, Why would I believe you, how are you going to overcome this addiction, and what about your homes and families?"
Those girls looked at each other. One of them responded: "We don't have homes. We live in an orphanage."
Priscilla: "But how…"
Suddenly Priscilla's phone rang and she was interrupted. Priscilla received a call. It was from Sasha.
Priscilla: "What is it now, Sasha?
Sasha: "Girl, I have been texting you for one hour and you haven't replied to any single message yet."
Priscilla: "Oh! I didn't use my phone."
Sasha: "I am in your room and you are not here. Where are you?"
Priscilla: "I am outing with my friends. Is there any emergency?"
Sasha: "I have something important to talk to you about, get back here as soon as possible."
Priscilla: "Okay wait for me."
Priscilla hung up the call and looked at those girls.
Priscilla: "Can I have your contact number. I want to treat you all in the best restaurant."
Those girls looked at each other. A girl with bangs narrated the contact number.
Priscilla noted that number on her phone and gave a missed call on that number.
One of them pulled out a mobile phone (with a broken screen) from her bag and saved Priscilla's number as "IDOL."
Priscilla: "You girls should make sure not to reveal or viral my contact number. It's private."
A girl: "Don't worry mam. We won't."
Priscilla: "Now you can leave back to your orphanage and don't tell anyone about what happened just now. And wait for my call. Moreover, don't forget to message me when you arrive back."
All those three girls bowed their heads while confessing: "Okay mam."
Priscilla looked at Noah and mumbled: "Let's go. Sasha is waiting."
Priscilla put on her face mask and left that place with her friends.
***After some time!***
Priscilla arrived at the resort. She was tired and worried about those girls. She opened the door of her room and found Sasha while sitting on the balcony and staring at the corridor furiously.
Priscilla looked at Sasha and muttered: "Ma'am don't you know that it is a bad activity to come in anyone's room without permission."
Sasha: "Shut up, Prissy. It's been two hours since I called you and I have been waiting for you here for approximately two hours and now you are talking about manners."
Priscilla: "Okay, my apologies ma'am. May I know the good reason for you being here?"
Sasha: "I have had good news to tell but now I am not in the mood and you also look sleepy so sleep well and we'll talk about it tomorrow."
Priscilla: "You are right. Maybe I need some rest and some privacy. Thank you for taking care of me as an aunt."
Sasha chuckled and stepped towards the door while announcing, "I shall be here tomorrow and take a good rest. Bye."
Priscilla: "Okay, Bye, See ya tomorrow, love ya."
Sasha left while smiling.
Priscilla received a message from those girls.
In the text message: "Mam, we have arrived. Thank you for spending your precious time and caring for us."
Priscilla took a deep breath and typed a reply "Okay. My pleasure."
Priscilla stepped towards the dressing room and sat in front of the mirror.
{She always talked to herself in the mirror while imagining her past.}
Priscilla started to smile.
Priscilla: "So now that I've grown up and become a celebrity, people always listen to me."
Suddenly she notices her past in the mirror.
-----------In her thoughts.------------
***Seven Years ago***
After the death of her grandfather, She was only fifteen years old, living all alone in a house. So some people from an orphanage took her with them. She was the only survivor of her family. She became involved in bad friendships and used to run away from the orphanage with those girls, smoke, and get drunk, but one day when the orphanage staff found out, they kicked her out of the orphanage. She began to live on the streets after living in an orphanage for two years. She was homeless but Suddenly, She saw a beggar. She noticed him.
He was using his talent of dancing and getting paid by the audience (people were amazed by his performance while crossing the road).
One day she was very hungry. She was wandering around looking for food, but suddenly she saw a fat lady standing at a food stall making burgers.
Her mouth watered, she sneaked over to that stall and ran away with two burgers on the side. But Suddenly that lady saw Priscilla. She left her stall and ran behind Priscilla to catch her while loudly declaring, "Catch that brat. She is a thief. Stop right there."
Shortly, she ran into someone. She closed her eyes with fear of being beaten up by that lady.
"I am sorry, I didn't do it on a purpose, I am starving", Priscilla announced.
A person who caught her: "Yes you did."
