Ticket to Love (Completed)

Chapter 19: Choice

Nanon's POV

I was waiting here at bus stop near Puimek's house. I was waiting here to meet her 'accidentally'. My mobile rang asking for attention. I took my mobile to see the caller. It was Chimon. Again. And I ignored again.

After few minutes again there was a call. It was from Ohm. I sighed and answered him.

"Dude...did you said yes? Are you guys engaged? When is the marriage? I will be bestman...."

Woah...he is way too loud and excited.

"Calm down idiot. Let me speak. As For your questions I said no. There is no marriage happening" I said and immediately he went silent.

"Why Non? Why did you reject him? You two would make best pair" he said slowly. I know he will be rooting for us. But sadly it can't happen.

"He is my friend and I like someone" I said frankly.

"What? Who is it?" His sad tone quickly replaced with curiosity.

"I like Puimek" I said annoyed. I was not ready for this interrogation session.

"Puimek? Who is that?" Is he serious? Last night only we met her. How could he forget? On other hand why he should remember when he already has his lovely wife.

"Our school senior" I said simply.

"Oh the one we met at bar last night!" Looks like he finally found.

"Yeah the same one" I said still seeing in direction of her house waiting for her.

"But yesterday only you saw her. You don't know about her."

I just scoffed. If only he knew, how much I know about her.

"Iam going now, bye" I quickly ended the call on seeing Puimek. She was trying to start her scooter. I quickly got on my bike and stopped infront her casually.
"Hey Puimek" I said as if I am surprised to see her.

"Nanon? What are you doing here?" She asked still kicking her scooter to start.

"I often come here to my friend's house." I said smiling sheepishly.

"I haven't seen you before!" She said doubtful looking at me.

"I also haven't seen you before" I retorted back. "Whatever I am getting late" she completely ignored me and went back to kick start her scooter very aggressively. I was waiting for her to notice me.

"Nanon, are you free now? Can you drop me at this address?" She asked me hesitatingly.

Yess! This was the opportunity I was waiting for! I was screaming internally. But kept a small smile and nodded my head. She quickly sat on backseat of my bike. This was the first time I am letting another person in my bike after Chi and Ohm.

I was driving slowly and carefully. I am trying to make good impression in every opportunity. But she doesn't look relaxed. She is frequently checking her watch and the road ahead.

"Nanon, can you drive fast? I am getting late" she finally said.

"Sure Puimek, are you going somewhere important?" I asked carefully raising the speed.

"Today I have to sign the contract with a producer. He suddenly called today saying its auspicious day and he will introduce the hero after signing" she said still checking her watch.

I suddenly hit the brake and got a smack from her. Nearby riders also scolded me. I started to drive again. I remembered how she was sad about her failed movie. If the timeline was right, this producer will most likely to introduce his son as hero and the project will drop closing the door to her dreams. I became restless, I have to warn her subtly.

"Puimek, nowadays many producers are making their relatives like son or daughters as the lead in the movies they produce. How do you feel about that?" I came to the topic without creating any doubt.

"I am not in mood to discuss about politics in cine field now." She said and nudged me to drive faster. Well I have to somehow implement my concern in her mind. So I asked again, "what if the producer you are meeting now will ask you to make his son as hero?" I asked. Thank god the golden ticket didn't fly away because I am not being subtle anymore.

"Well...if he could pull off my hero's character I will agree" she said. "But what if he is not suited?" I asked back.

"Stop here, we reached the place" she pointed the building on opposite side. I dropped her and I am still worried. What if she didn't get my hint and signed the contract?

"Puimek, can I come with you?" I asked showing my best puppy eyes. She was thinking and finally said, "ok come with me. But be quiet, don't disturb" she said as if instructing small kid.

I quickly parked my bike and came back to her. As she said, I was quiet. We were waiting in the reception area, finally an old man in his 50s came followed by a handsome young man. Now I am damn sure this producer will surely mess up her career.

After few minutes, Puimek was called inside and she left. I was feeling anxious on what will happen inside. I hope she makes the right choice.
