Dearie's POV
"Is everything ready?" Mam Anne said as we walk quickly to the auditorium for a fansign.
"Yes mam" I answered quickly while trying to catch up their pace.
"Okay let's go, " she replied, as I nod my head.
I'm Dearie Mae Ylania, a 2 year assistant of a Star Actor-Singer Tan Deluxe Remises. Schedules are sometimes hectic that we needed to be quick at times like this.
"What time are we starting?" Tan asked as we get to the auditorium while trying to whisper at me, because of the noise that surrounding the place.
In set up like this I would blush, but work is important so, I look at my watch and check the time.
"We're starting at 10minutes" i answered as he nodded his head.
While waiting to start I notice that Tan is getting sweaty, so I take a tissue and hand it to him, and he just look at me with his eyes saying 'wipe it, you're my assistant' so I did.
"Why are you shaking?" He said. As i wiped his forehead down to his neck.
"What? No. " I declined even though its very visible that I am shaking, who wouldn't be? 2 years of working with him is not enough to be able to hide my feelings, i am still not okay with it, everything he does gives me collywobbles and sometimes I couldn't stand it. He doesn't know it though.
He just stared at me and i feel like melting again.
"Okay", and let out a smile. See? Who wouldn't fall for that? So charming.
"Get ready Tan " Manager Anne said.
As i get out of my imagination, Tan did get out of the room minutes later and head at the fansign event to start.
________________
The fansign started good but one fan suddenly get aggressive with Tan and all of us startled.
"Taannnn! I can i be yourr wifeee!! Go to my housee!! " the unknown fan shouted as she faces Tan.She hold Tan's hand and ready to pull him away.
The security moved fastly as they pulled her and brought her out of the scene.
I suddenly go to Tan and check him.
"Are you okay?" Asking him as i check if there are any harm done by the aggressive fan.
Shocked as he may seem. I put my hands on his face and made him look at me, its not the first time he experienced this yet his not immune to it, because there's this one fan last time that made him traumatized and it really put a scar on him and now this.
"Hey,Tan.Look at me." I said softly.
His eyes wonders and when it stops into mine I suddenly smiled.
"It's fine, okay?." Trying to calm him.
He tightly hold my hands in his face and breathe calmly. Still looking at me.
Thinking some things makes me suddenly sad.
Tan suddenly release my hands out of his face.
And that sink in to me, we are at the fansign and now everybody is looking at us. Mam Anne signaled me to come to her and she looked like she will already cut my head off. I'm so dumb not to realized where am I sheeze. I'm dead now his fans might kill me at any moment.
"What the heck was that? "
"Who is she?"
"Isn't she just a staff why would she do that? "
Different thoughts and gossips I hear as I get out of the scene.
"What the hell were you thinking?"
Mam Anne said as I got in the room.
"I'm sorry mam, its just that-"
"I know that he's your husband but can you please mind that's his also a star? You just cannot barged in like that"
"But mam he looked like he will have a panic attack at any moment and I just can't stand looking at that. "
"And you also know that Tan is in a relationship with someone else that's in the spotlight too! Are you going to get yourself in trouble? " Miss Anne said. And that silence me.
Tan is good to me, he's actually gentleman, kind and always taking care of me but that's it, he just see me as a responsibility because I'm his wife.
A cliche arrange marriage happened and his just too good to be through to follow his parents. Even though he has someone that he loves. But he did make it clear to me in the first place.
Flashback
"I have something to tell you, hope you won't be hurt by it. " Tan said
We just got here in a hotel after the wedding. Wedding that seems like a business deal to me we just have to sign the papers, no vows, have rings, no kiss in lips but cheeks.
Tan is standing and I'm sitting in the edge of the bed as he speak.
"What is it? " as I pulled out my heels and massages my foot.
"I actually have a girlfriend and I love her, I only agree to this because of my parents I love them that's why, I don't want them to be disappointed, you can do what you want and I'm going to take responsibility with this too, Are you fine with that?"
I'm hurt and I don't know what to say, to think his reasons is so.. I don't know anymore.. but I have to kept up because I love him that's why, even though we were just tied by marriage.
I held up my head and smiled.
"Yes,of course I actually just did this too for my parents so were just the same"
"I'm very sorry Dearie"
"It's fine, really"
"Thank you, we can be friends though" Tan said with a smile and it's just so good to see that. His girlfriend must be so lucky.
I just smiled, we're never gonna be friends Tan. Never.
It's a pity of me that's sometimes I think some things that are unthinkable. That maybe Tan have feelings for me too. Its laughable I know. And till now we are in the hide nobody knows about me, being married to him.
You heard it right, the famous star is my husband and I'm his secret wife.
