Little break in New York


Roseanne was preparing to leave her house that morning. She grabs her things from her vanity table, when she saw some 5 American dollars on top of the counter near the door. It must be Somi's, she thought. She moved closer to the counter table, and flipped the $5 and check the other side of it, when she saw that there was nothing on it, Roseanne shakes her head and flipped the $5 back over. There was nothing, Roseanne just then smiled, and left the house.


A sitar was playing into the background.  A Face of a young child was focused, camera was tight to her face, then there's a slowly shift as the camera pans to other people, men, old and young, who is just standing straight, expression less, looking far away. Then the camera shows a different scene where there are Vikings that is somehow rejoicing. They held their wooden shields and weapons up in the air, as they shout for a loud cry. Some camera shots were, another scene of Vikings charging forward. Their mouths wide open as if they are shouting, either for battle cry or it's already them claiming their victory. nobody really knows as all they can hear was the Sitar playing in the background. Then the camera was now focused on Loren in her satin yellow long sleeves shirt. his hair is being blown gracefully by the wind as he plays the Zurna in a vast field.

-A natural - said Ryan to Loren who is sitting beside him in a long black sofa. They are watching Loren's new shot music video

-Yeah?

-Yeah. really natural

The two watching the screen attentively. They've watch the video for a couple of times now. Just reviewing, scene to scene

-No, no, no. Cut, cut, cut..- said Loren

-What's the problem?

-Well, the problem is you can't fend off an army of bloodthirsty Vikings with a Zurna. It's illogical- said Loren, he crossed his arms to his chest

- No, see, no, no- Ryan sat up straight, putting his glass of water down to the table in front of them

-See, you are lulling them into submission with the music. That's the whole point of the song, really. Mystic Surrender.- said Ryan as he bit off his nails

-You don't think he looks like he hates the music?- asked Loren, pointing at the screen, where a Viking is covering his ears, his faced in grimace

-No- Ryan answered with a sigh

-Hey- Ryan greeted Roseanne who just entered the room.

Loren pressed the remote again, continue playing the paused video. Roseanne went straight at the back of the couch, kneeling in between Ryan and Loren. Loren reached out his hand as Roseanne approached him

-Hey, baby- He said

-Now, this guy, he's-he's like Alec Guinness. So good. Star Wars. Obi-wan. - Ryan says, when the scene was just showing a face of an old man with a white beard, his mouth open, and behind him was a young man, who is just looking straight, far away

The scene then cuts to Loren, holding some sort of a flower, patting a young girl's head before walking back to a Viking that's lying on the grass, already dead.

-All right, right here, what are they doing? What's their attitude? Who are these people? What are they thinking?- asked Loren who was confused by the scene, in which he was walking away from three men, who is looking back at him. Roseanne propped her arms into the back of the sofa, and lean forward, listening to the conversation

-I tell you, they're in awe and they're speechless. and they're just grateful and underfed. underpaid.- Ryan chuckles, Roseanne faced turned into a slight frown as she heard Ryan's answer
