JOY'S Pov

An actor's life is a tough one and most people fail to understand it.Most people  assume it is as a life of glamour , fame and money, which is true to an extent but what they fail to understand is the price that comes with it .

We are surrounded by cameras and paparazzi 24-7 and have zero private life .We always have to be cautious in public as one small mistake can ruin our career.

We are exposed to all sought of cosmetic and hair products which will in the long term have a detrimental effect on our skin.

We have to constantly travel to different countries for events and jet lag has always been a problem.

But all of this doesn't stop me
as I love being in front of the camera and when you love your work , your life becomes easy.

Anyways after a very tiring day of  shooting heavy dramatic scenes while I had  to cry my eyes out and  attending events , I was lying on my back  on the bed admiring the painting on the ceiling , no matter how many times I look at this painting , I don't get bored .It is a painting of a waterfall , the sound of water always makes  me forget  all the problem and stress in my life puts my mind at ease. I was gradually  going to fall asleep when my best friend Charles entered my room and started going through my stuff.

Charles : Dude , maintain some hygiene, or else germs are gonna die because of you .

Joy : If you are done being sarcastic , do you mind telling me the purpose of your visit.

Charles : Your chic is giving me trouble.

Joy : natasa ?

C: Nope

Joy : mary ?

C: Nope .

J: amy ?

C: Nope .

J: Omg , which one is it ? Bobby , chrisan, dorti ..just tell me.

C : Flora, she freaking turned up at my place at 1 in the morning and is threatening me that she will harm herself if you don't talk to her. Why don't you talk to her once.

Joy : Dude , Just throw a few thousand bucks at her ,she is gonna leave both of us alone.

C: You can't carry on like this forever Joy . You need to stop being a jerk.

J: I don't know what's wrong with , I just have a litlle fun.

C: Your fun is hurting others feeling.

J: I made myself very clear to her from the start , that it was nothing serious , It's not my fault if she can't keep control over her emotions.

C: If we could keep control over our emotions , we wouldn't be called humans .

J: hahahahaha , Since when did you becomes so dramatic 🤣

C: You....are really an asshole

J: Tell me something idk 🤣

C: Forgot it , Are u going home today , ?

J : Definitely , I finally have 1 day off.

C: Don't forget to bring your mom's delicacies  for me. Especially her cookies.

J: Why don't you tag along, my mom said she has been missing you.

C : As much as I would love  to , I have a outdoor shoot tomorrow.Tell her I miss her too.

With that charles leaves , slamming the door so hard.

I will finally be able to go home after a period of 6 months, my mom usually loves being my chauffeur and picks me up  and drops me off  to all my shoot and event locations. According  to her traveling time is the time , I should relax but I know she also uses this as her excuse to spend time with me.
However as her age is gradually deteriorationg ,I have told her to stop driving and hired a professional Chaeffur.

Today I am gonna suprise her by giving her a sudden visit.

My parents home is an isolated area away from the main city, and I prefer them staying there surrounded by nature.

It's 9 in the night and I am on my way home when it suddenly starts to rain .  Just a few meters away from my home , I see the streets are flooded with water as this is a low lying area, there is now way  I can use my car anymore. I park my car two  streets away and decide to walk to my home.

Nothing more disappointing can happen when I see the door is locked , I tried calling  my mom , but her phone is unreachable  ,  there is absolutely no possibility of me driving back as it is getting dark and thunder storms are just getting louder.

Standing there hopelessly , drenched in rain and contemplating all the ways out , I spot a girl coming out from the opposite villa carrying a red umbrella towards me.... and before I knew it pulls me under  the umbrella  .
