My Movie Queen

In the quiet room, a soft breeze came in through the window. Even though two people were there, one sitting by the bed holding the hand of the other who was sleeping, the only sound was their quiet breathing. It was a peaceful scene, but it hid a storm of feelings.

 

Vanessa looked closely at Yanna, hoping she would wake up. She knew Yanna had only been asleep for a few hours, but it still scared her. Her own doctor had explained the situation, but it didn't calm Vanessa down. She didn't understand why she was so scared that Yanna might leave her, even though she was right there, just a few centimeters away. She had never felt this kind of fear before, not even when her family had turned their backs on her when she was young. The feelings she had now were totally different.

 

Her train of thought was interrupted by a soft knock on the door. 

"Vanessa, you have a visitor," Melody said after knocking twice.

 

Looking at the time, Vanessa realized it must be Mirayuki who had come.

 

"Alright," Vanessa answered. She gently let go of Yanna's hand and carefully arranged the blanket.

 

As she stepped out of the room, Vanessa turned to Melody, "I'm sorry to bother you."

 

Melody was surprised by the sudden apology. "Why are you apologizing for? I'm actually happy that you called me first. It shows that you trust me now, unlike when we first met. Besides, I'm Yanna's friend, manager, and assistant, and I'm your friend too, Vanessa." she said with a smile, remembering their first meeting.

 

Vanessa paused for a moment when she heard Melody mentioned trust, she never thought she would trust anyone other than Yanna but thinking about it now Vanessa realized that maybe she already put Melody to her friend list unconsciously. 

 

Vanessa chuckled,"You're right. Thank you Melody. Then if it's not too much, could I ask you to make something for our visitor? Yanna was supposed to cook, but..."

 

"Okay, I got it. Just take care of your guest, and I'll take care of everything. I'm really good at cooking," Melody said, puffing out her chest with pride.

 

Vanessa shook her head, amused at Melody's confidence. "Okay, everything you need is in the kitchen. If you need anything else, just let me know, okay?"

 

"I know, I know. Just go, go, go," Melody said, playfully pushing Vanessa towards the living room. 

Melody looked at the back of Vanessa ' Thankfully Vanessa is okay now, I hope Yanna woke up sooner ' then she went straight to the kitchen. 

While Melody is getting busy in the kitchen Vanessa went to the living room. 

Seeing the girl with pink hair, Vanessa speak first," Ms. Mirayuki I'm Vanessa Rodriguez, it's an honor to meet you,"

Mirayuki, a young woman with striking pink hair, turned to face Vanessa and offered a polite bow. "Nice to meet you, Ms. Rodriguez," she said, her voice soft yet confident. "I've heard a lot about you from Yanna."

 

Vanessa returned the bow and gestured for Mirayuki to take a seat. "I apologize for any inconveniences. Yanna was supposed to be the one welcoming you, but she's currently resting," Vanessa explained, keeping her tone calm and composed.

 

Mirayuki nodded understandingly. "It's alright, I've brought some gifts from Japan for both of you, I hope you'll like them."

 

Vanessa thanked Mirayuki for the thoughtful gesture, accepting the gifts with a smile.

" Yanna said you're interested in business," Mirayuki started while sitting comfortably

" Yes," Vanessa replied putting away her smile as they talk about serious matter

" But you're an actress, you're currently at the peak of your career," Mirayuki said with a teasing smile squinting her eyes

Although Mirayuki didn't add anything to her words, Vanessa still understands what she wants to say," Yes, but I realize that what I need is real power not just an influence."

" Real power? Do you think the business industry holds it?" Mirayuki ask raising her eyebrows, Vanessa's answer really caught her attention ' power '

" Yes," Vanessa answered without hesitation

Mirayuki laugh happily as she like Vanessa's answer," You know what, I like you," she said with a satisfied smile

Vanessa didn't know Mirayuki means but she still answer with serious look," I'm sorry, but I'm already taken," 

Mirayuki laugh even more, she swept away her tears from laughing and take a deep breath after having enough fun," Don't worry, I just like as my student, I think it would be fun to call me teacher," 

" That's natural," 

" How about you? Do you have any questions?" 

Meanwhile, in the kitchen, Melody was hard at work preparing a meal for their guest. She moved about the kitchen with ease, her hands skillfully chopping, stirring, and seasoning. She was determined to make a meal that would leave a lasting impression on Mirayuki.

 

Back in the quiet room, Yanna remained in a deep sleep, oblivious to the lively discussions and the delicious aroma wafting from the kitchen. Yet, despite the distance, Vanessa's thoughts kept drifting back to her, a constant reminder of the worry that still lingered.

 

As the evening comes, Vanessa found herself glancing at the clock more frequently, each passing minute amplifying her concern for Yanna. She excused herself from the conversation with Mirayuki, promising to return shortly, and hurried back to the room where Yanna was sleeping.

 

Sitting down next to Yanna, Vanessa took her hand once more, whispering softly, "Yanna, it's time to wake up. We have a guest waiting for you." Despite her words, Vanessa knew that waking Yanna up was not within her control. She could only hope that Yanna would wake up soon.
