Old photos of Rebecca Armstrong and Freen Sarocha are pinned to the wall and under it was a file of old brownish papers on a table next to a typewriter, a quill dipped in an ink bottle, an old dusty white piano, phonograph across the room, a fireplace full of dry leaves and trash stuck in it.
Dry leaves scattered in this old French style room. Cobwebs all over the place, king size bed broken, roots in the wall with tall grass surrounding the place.
In a dirty carpet on the floor near the fireplace a young man is lying down reading a book, no , it was an old journal. The man was smiling reading the old journal, his head is pillowing his right arm, his body is facing the fire place, left hand holding the journal legs are curled.
The man was wearing a white polo shirt and a white trouser with only slippers on his feet, he was so hooked up with what he was reading when a ringing phone took him back to the real world.
''Hello.'' He answered the call.
''Yes. I'm coming.'' With that he got up and cleaned his clothes from dirt and leaves that stick around him. He put his phone on his right pocket he walked towards the door but before he opened the door he took the straw hat hanging on the rack and wore it. He took his glasses from his chest and wore them he smiled before he finally left the room.
After all her hectic schedule of interviews, photoshoot, never ending meetings of her upcoming projects, Freen lays herself on this hotel's bed stomach first, hands above her head, feet hanging over the edge of the bed still wearing her Prada high heels.
She grabbed a pillow and buried her face in it moaning and sighing as she curled her body not minding her high heels and hugged herself. Rebecca hadn't left her mind the whole day since she and Saint talk this morning.
And she still has jetlag, she and her team didn't have time to rest because she already consumed their time from sneaking out to Saint's office this morning.
She is currently in Seoul, Korea to attend a meeting for a new brand she will be endorsing which ended up in a photoshoot and another interview. It's exhausting.
She look at her watch and its already 8:56 pm she had been working for almost twelve hours and her only break is when they are travelling. Not barely eating she had to sneak out of the dinner with the client this evening because she can't handle it anymore.
She was so tired getting back and port to places she hasn't had enough rest yet because she just finish her mall tours for her new album whisper yesterday.
She took her phone out of her Chanel bag and saw a lot of messages and notifications in her feeds but she didn't bother to respond to any of them she was so tired of everything going on around her.
Her eyes were closing due to sleepiness and tiredness while holding her phone when it suddenly buzzed that startle her that made her shake and accidentally tap something on her phone and she heard a familiar voice.
''Whooo... let's go to the beach!!!'' says a teenage Becky who is recording herself and screaming with her left hand raised above her head and her hair dancing in the wind in the Lexus LC500 convertible car.
''Hey, stop we might have an accident.'' Freen can be heard but she is not seen in the video but Becky starts recording Freen while driving with creased eyebrows.
"Aw, my daddy's angry, hey guys look Freen's angry she is so cute when being grumpy. That's my daddy, Freen's is daddy right?" Becky was grinning while teasing Freen who is now very mad.
''Stop it.'' Freen warned her and the video returned to Becky laughing.
''Delete it .Please tell me you deleted it.'' Freen warned again.
''Mhmp. I am gonna post it .'' Said Becky grinning.
Freen's face was straight as she looked at the video that played on her phone, she didn't know that Jim still had a copy of it. That was the deleted video of her and Becky when they were last together. Becky accidentally posted it on Freen's account which was immediately deleted by management.
This was the day she walked out of her and Blew's press conference for their upcoming movie at the time. She was using her new bought car just to bring Becky to the beach to make up for her from ignoring the young girl for months because of her hectic schedule and also because her grandpa won't let her.
Becky bothers her to go there before she avoids the younger girl because she has more important things to do than go to the beach.
It was the pick of her career and Blew has already announced their relationship to the public and that made it more difficult to entertain Becky in her world because she was still studying and still a minor and their closeness is being questioned by judge mental people in the industry .
She doesn't want to bring Becky into a problematic situation who is just starting her journey in this business so she distances herself from Becky to avoid problems because she is mentally more mature than Becky.
Freen received a call from Jim but she didn't answer it because she knew that Jim was just going to tease her about her upcoming film with Becky. She regrets telling Jim about it but she will know about it anyway because she was one of the chosen cast in that story.
But Jim won't just give up and video call her which she was forced to answer.
''What?'' She said with a straight face.
''Did you receive the video clip I sent you?'' Jim said teasingly smiling at her.
''What video?'' Freen answered acting oblivious.
''Hmmmp..Don't pretend you didn't see it. Its already marked seen'' Jim expose her.
''Why do you still have that? It was deleted for a reason.'' Freen answered.
''It was cute. And I know you like it too. Hehe.. Right daddy?'' Jim smiling on the other line teasing the grumpy Freen.
''Stop it Jim, you're annoying.'' Freen warned Jim.
''Yes , Daddy, hahaha.'' Freen covered her face in embarrassment when her entire gang shouted in unison in the other side of the line.
''Oh my god! you're all unbelievable.'' Said Freen annoyed as she see that her friends are drinking without her and she knows she's their topic now.
This traitors, she thought.
''We are just celebrating the upcoming reunion of FreenBecky . At least now you are not gonna pay for her photogra-''
''YAhhh, You are drunk Tee , you 're already talking nonsense.'' Said Freen laughing awkwardly stopping what Tee was about to say.
''Hmmp.. no we want to hear it tee. '' Kade doubting Freen's weird reaction.
''Yeh, Spell the tea.'' Jim agreed to Kade.
"Please.. tell what photograph,tee?"Kade threatining Tee.
While Tee was looking to Freen on screen with dagger eyes.
''No.'' Freen firmly said.
''Okay.'' Says Jim giving what Freen wants she knows how sensitive this topic for Freen.
" But atleast let us celebrate Becky's comeback in your life." Jim continued.
"Whatever." Freen just said to stop them from teasing her
"We should visit her sometime.. did they return to their old home?" Tee, suggested and Jim and Kade agreed.
"Yeah."Freen.
" Huh? " Kade was confuse to Freens answer.
" You are coming with us? "Jim ask to clarify.
" I mean they are back at their home. "Freen explained.
" Yahhh.."They all shouted out of excitement.
" You went their to see Becky? " Tee ask she's a bit doubtful she knows Freen.
"Saint did." Her answer slump the shoulders of her hopeful friends.
"What's the matter with you? You always went to their house when they weren't there and now that they are back, you won't show up there?"
Tee said disappointed.
" She hates me.''She Blurted out.
''Why don't you just tell her the truth then.'' Tee suggested.
''She's not gonna believe me.'' She answered wearily she is so tired.
''Its better this way.'' She continued.
They all came silent
Then Freen's phone buzz and unregistred number appeared at the top of her screen.
Her eyebrows creased who should be this person calling her ? She strictly told Saint and her assistant not to give her personal number to anyone .
''Is that saint?'' Asks Jim.
''No.'' Freen simply answered the truth.
''Oh. You and Blew are back together?'' Kade said her friends are being nosy now.
''No its not. I am not doing that again.'' Freen furiously answered.
''Okay. Calm down. Who is calling you , then?'' Tee ask this time.
''I don't know, its unregistered number..it might be just one of my stalkers.haha'' Freen just laugh it off ignoring the call.
Who else would call her then? Freen doesn't entertain calls in her personal number unless its them her assistant and Blew and his family, The three thought.
And then it called again same number which she didn't answer again.
''I think you should answer that it might be important .'' Tee suggested.
''Okay, gonna put you on my laptop call again.'' Said Freen she really missed them she wants to make up for all times she was absent in their gathering because of work.
They were also actress but Freen is way more higher level than them she is the highest paid actress in her country and starting to be recognize in other countries.
That's also why she's been travelling here and there endorsing different brands from selected countries.
But she never considers herself as above anyone else she remains humble even though she is the true heiress of the entertainment company she works for. She's still figuring out how she's going to take back her parents' company from the people who took it away from him.
They all took advantage of her as a girl but she didn't have the power to react at that time because she was just a child and an orphan.
''We will wait for you here when you get bye , Freen.'' Says kade and ended the call.
She get her laptop from her travelling bag and on it . Open her messenger and accepted the video call.
''Who was that?'' Kade immediately ask as soon as she answered
''Hasn't called yet. It might be just a prank.'' Freen said boringly not interested.
''Put it on speaker then, so we could hear.'' Jim suggested.
''Yes . That's a good idea lets prank them too. It would be fun hahah'' Tee and kade said excitedly said.
And her phone buzz again she was hesitant first in answering it but her friends faces on the screen are pushing her so she answered.
"Mr. Saint I am now ready to start the workshop with Freen." Freen wasn't able to move hearing the voice of the caller .
She look at her friends on the screen with a stunned face that made the three confusedly look at her .
She figured they can't hear Becky because she didn't able to put it on speaker as agreed because she was stunned hearing the voice of the caller.
Freen was breathing hard out of mixed emotions hearing Becky on the other line she was just looking at her phone the counting on her screen continues as a sign that the call is still on.
''Hello?'' Becky spoke again she grabbed her phone and stand up intending to hide from her friends sight but by being a clumsy she hit her baby toe with the stand of her bed that made her gasp in pain her phone slid under the center table , still in pain she grabbed her phone under the table put to her ear.
''H-hello..'' She manage to speak still gasping in pain.
''B-becky?'' She spoke again making sure Becky's still there she heard a sudden thud sound like something fall or the phone itself fall she was not sure.
''Hello? are you okay ? What happened?'' Freen panic hearing the falling on the other side.
She heard that Becky is cursing on the other side and pick up the phone Freen can hear groaning on the other side of the line .
''Hello ?'' Freen spoke again.
''I'm sorry its a wrong number.'' Becky said and ended the call leaving Freen dumbfounded.
Slump shoulder she got back to her bed and throw her phone on her bed and she grabbed a pillow and buried her face there again and groaned.
''Hey, what happened ? Who was that?'' Tee ask on the screen.
Freen sat up and face them while Indian sitting looking so stress.
''Freen ?'' Jim and kade said.
''It's a ghost.'' Freen absentmindedly answered.
''Huh?'' They all said in confusion.
Freen grabbed her phone again on the bed and dialed a number.
The three was still drinking on the other side looking at Freen confused on her weird action.
"What's happening? Freen? " Tee manage to ask but Freen ignored her.
"Hello?" The voice on the other side answered.
"I want to talk to you when I get back tommorow in my unit." Freen furiously commanded Saint.
"Yes, I 'm coming." Saint answered on the other side.
And freen ended the call.
Another call came in her phone that she answered that made her eyes look dead.
"Where have you been? Why did you leave our client at dinner? You're really worthless after I adopted you and took care of you. You're only going to repay me with shame? It's because of me that you're enjoying your life now if it wasn't for me you'd be on the road now. Remember that. Stamp that in your brain." Said the old man on the phone.
Tears filled her eyes but she tried not to let them out. She needs to be strong, its only a little time and she can finally be able to get out of this hell.
Freen manage to talk to the man on the other line with respect but she didn't let her friends hear them talk until they finish talking she put down her phone looking drained.
She looked at the screen on her laptop and see the look on the faces of her friends.
But she didn' t hesitate to end the call too and buried her face in the pillow again.
"Ughhhhmm!! " Freen shouted in the pillow.
