Obsession of a star

FAN MEETING

AUTHOR’S POV:

A young fellow picking up a tussle with some thugs. They circle him and he is all alone. He looks to be a professional in resisting. Suddenly he twirls the other man’s neck that expires at the spot.

“Cut!” “Good shot” Ray,”. The director said while patting Ray's shoulder.

“Thank you, sir,” Ray said while massaging his left shoulder.

“Okay, Ray, you can call it a day, and guys pack up,” announced the director, proceeding towards his deputy.

“Mr. Kite, where are you? I am free now and waiting for you.” Ray said on the phone to his manager.

“I’ll be right there. Sir,” Mr. Kite said.

While Ray was awaiting his manager, he continued massaging his shoulder. His past injury has revived again and is now making him uneasy. He ordered a spot boy for a hot pack and placed it on his shoulder. After 5 minutes his manger came. Ray sat in the car and the ride started.

“What happened? Is it hurting again?” said Mr. Kite while watching him with attention through the rearview.

“Yeah, It’s worse now, I think as my shoulder will fell off due to this pain. I should see a doctor before it becomes serious,” replied Ray, massaging his shoulder.

“Okay, I’ll make you an appointment with the doctor on coming Thursday. Just be there on time, not like the last time you never showed up at the doctor’s.” Mr. Kite raising an eyebrow.

“I was taking it casually and didn’t realize that it will get this bad but now I am serious about it, it’s stinging me and you see I don’t admire things which trouble me.” Ray declared.

“And one more thing, Do something about that dumb woman Natasha, she makes me furious every time I see her. I have just done alone project with her and now she is my rumored girlfriend despite me clarifying things many times to the media but the gossip still continues, I don’t know why do people believe in these lies rather than believing in facts.” Said Ray in a disturbed manner.

“Sir, common people out there need something distinctive in their daily boring lives that’s why they are engrossed in lives of stars made of distinctive content.” Said Mr. Kite while glancing at Ray through the rearview.

“I know that just do something I can no longer deal with her,” Ray spoke.

“Okay sir, I’ll see what I can do.” Mr. Kite assured him.

After that, the full ride remained hushed. They arrived home. Ray said goodbye to Mr. Kite, moved inside and his manager turned away. Ray got into the house was greeted by his caretaker Eva.

“Finally, you are back. How was your holiday? Do you have fun?” Ray asked her.

“Everything worked nicely, sir. Thank you.” Eva with a sweet smile on her face.

“Good” Ray responded.

“Your supper is fixed. Will you have it in the dining area or in your room?” Ava asked.

“I don’t have an appetite; you can leave it and call it a day,” Ray said and went to his room. He took a hot shower, changed into comfy clothes, lay down on his bed, and soon darkness took over him and he dozes off.

It was 8 in the morning when Mr. Kite came in Ray’s bedroom and opened the curtains. The sunlight came in through the enormous glass French windows.

“Mmm…. close it, I want to sleep more,” said Ray in a sleepy voice.

“Rise and shine superstar, you have a busy day ahead, your fans are waiting for you, just get up or else we are going to be late.” Said Mr. Kite, pulling Ray’s blanket.

“You know if I haven’t thought you as a brotherly figure I would have killed you the right moment you have opened those curtains,” said Ray, massaging his eyes.

“Yeah yeah… I know” Mr. Kite said brushing Ray off.

Ray got off the bed and went into the bathroom. “Ray just come down after getting ready we have to leave in an hour, okay?” said Mr. Kite while going out of the room. Ray took a quick bath and wore his black Armani suit for the day. Today he is having a fan meeting program in a mall.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- “Brian!” yelled Natasha while coming out of her room. “Yes, Ms. Ryan?”  said Brian, who came into the living room.

“Where the hell you were? We have an important fan meeting to attend, and my worthless manager doesn’t even know. If I have to monitor my schedule then what you are for? HUH!”  Natasha said humiliating Brian.

“Ms. Ryan, as far as I know, you don’t have such an event to attend,” Brian said, looking down on the floor in embarrassment.

“I don’t but my honey have and I want to be seen with him publically so that people are convinced that we are dating and he then would not have any chance to deny our relationship,” Natasha said with an evil look in her eyes.

“Why do you keep doing things like this when you know that Mr. Ray never liked you nor he is interested in you….” Brian said that in a whisper but for someone standing in front of him that was clear, very clear. “I have noticed that your mouth keeps opening, I think you are no longer interested in your job. Isn’t it?” Natasha inquired, folding her arms on her chest. “Just SHUT UP and GET THE DAMN CAR,” Natasha yelled, almost making Brian deaf.

Brian hurried to get the car, they sat in and they hurried out to the mall.

“Hello everyone, I present you all “Ray Mathew” the star of the evening.” said the announcer standing on the stage greeting Ray’s fans. There was a table set on the stage with Ray’s latest posters and autograph sheets. He settled down and one by one his fans came for autographs and pictures.

“Honey!” Ray heard a familiar voice. He looked at Natasha standing in front of him smiling ear to ear. By the time she came towards him, the media started taking three Pictures and the audience was murmuring. It annoyed the ray.
