The Dream

Tough

Criss was asked to rest for a couple more days, but Criss, being herself, didn't listen to anyone. She did have her medicines, but she didn't rest much.

'Ugh! Don't worry about me. Im fine. I remember everything now! And, once if I start resting, and lagging off, ill get lazy. Then it will be difficult for me to catch up with our schedules! ' she whined, with her puppy eyes.

She knew the boys would fall for her puppy eyes, and so did they.
She knew how to make them agree to something they think is bad for her. She's talented in that field.

One day, she got a call from Lynda, her manager.
'Umm, Criss. I know you are still recovering from the accident, but director James Wan is actually asking about you. Remember we asked him 6 months time? Now it's the time. I know I shouldn't be doing this.. But.. ' she continued to apologize, but Criss cut her off.

'Hey, you don't have to apologize. I know you care about me. And you are just doing your job. I can understand. Tell him we will start shooting whenever he want us to start. Ok? '
Criss 's reply startled Lynda.

'But, you are still recovering from the accident! And Thomas told me, that you still feel really tired sometimes. I don't think it is a good idea. He did tell me he can wait for a few months more.. '
Criss cut her off, again.
'Oh no! I'm alright. I think I can do this. And, it wouldn't be nice if we make him wait longer. So, tell him I'm ready. Ok? ' she said, in a final tone.

Lynda sighed, and said, 'Ok, I'll tell him. Just, take care of yourself. Ok? ' she said, worried.

Criss smiled, and replied, 'Sure Lynda. Bye. '
She smiled, as she hung up.
Convincing her manager was by itself a difficult job. How is she gonna convince her brothers now?

'Oh brother! 'She sighed.
She was in her room, and she was gonna dress up, for a walk.
She had called Akshaya to a restaurant, to have a girl's night out. She was excited to spend some time with her friend.
She wore this👇

She wore a hat, cause she can't be out in the sun much. Or she will feel dizzy.
She wore this, and she went downstairs.

She went to the kitchen, and boiled some water. While she was drinking it, someone behind her said, 'Oh, your looking good! Where are you off to? '

She was a bit startled at first.
It was Hobi. His high pitched voice can startle anyone, anytime, even if we are anticipating for it.

'Why don't you ask you girlfriend? ' she said with a smirk, and grabbed her phone, walking towards the door.

'You guys going somewhere? ' he asked, still a bit confused.

'Yeah! Just for an outing. Wanna come? ' she asked, even though she knew he was gonna say yes. He never leaves Akshaya alone, because he thinks that he isn't spending much time with her, and clings onto her like a koala.
Thank god Akshaya doesn't mind that, and actually enjoys being around him, they haven't been in a fight about that matter.

He was about to say yes, but then she cut him off.
'You know what, I don't get to spend time with her because of your constant lovey dovey character. So, I think I should spend time with her. '
She said, before closing the door.
'Alone! '
She said, and left him dumbfounded.

When she reached the restaurant, it was around 1:30 in the afternoon.
She found a nice spot, by the balcony, and sat there.
After waiting for almost 15 minutes, Akshaya walked in.

She was wearing something like this👇

It looked really good on her.
As always! No wonder why Hobi is soo clingy around her. He loves her, that's one side, and also he doesn't want anyone to steal her. That's other side.
