To my star

15 - Her

15 - Her

Jul 23, 2023

I laid my head on the soft pillow on the armrest, my body in a comfortable position with my hand hugging a bucket of popcorn. My eyes stayed focused on the big screen, watching <Eugene part 1> for the Nth time. 

The story started when a group of children were put in line, every child looking confused and dirty as each of them came from the slum. One by one was given a shot of strange liquid. The screen focused on certain individuals that will played an important in later scenes. One of them was Wren's cute appearance. 

It was said that he filmed this movie when he was 13 to 14 years old. So his childish features still apparent. I smiled with light heart whenever Wren's face showed up. 

"You like it that much," Mika commented. 

"Shut up, I can't hear Wren's voice," I replied with a smile decorating my face. 

The sound system installed inside the hoom theater room was up to date with clear sound that surround the whole room. There is no way Mika squeaky voice would interrupt my hearing. I said it so that he would stop bothering me. 

Mika pouted at my reply and proceed to snatch a handful of popcorn from my bucket. "How can woman change everytime they meet pretty boys?"

We both watched the iconic scenes where the main casts gathered at a canteen, each of them sat far from each other and by fate got pulled to one another when a child suddenly lose control of it's power. Everyone was panicking. Some ran away screaming. Some suddenly fell to the ground, eyes turned white. Some, hid under the table and started to pray or hugged the person next to them.

Charles, the main protagonist of the series, took charge of the situation with the help from a very beautiful pair of twin named Beau and Yves. It was their first meeting, but clicked right away. They helped children near them to safety while adults tried to control the child.

It was a bizzare moment for them since it was the first time it ever happen.

When every children that was still conscious waited for the situation to calm dawn, the camera focused on Charles and Beau. In Beau arms was another kid who is almost identical to the girl. It was a boy named Yves. The camera moved to Wren, who sat behind Charles then another boy near him, named Francis.

It was the first time all five of them met and shared dialogues together. 

"Uuuu," I exclaimed in excitement. I always like this kind of moment especially it was a moment that mark as turning point of the plot. 

Even in every other dream cycle, each time I had the opportunity to witness the meeting of leads, I would feel so excited and happy because I know at the end, they will meet their happy ending... if the dream I was in had happy ending written by the author.

If the ending was bad ending... imagine the sad and frustrate I felt at that moment. I can't change the story in fear of causality, so I watched my ships broken apart and dive into the deep ocean. 

The story went on as the plot progress. Each of them started to show their super power potential, got tested in various situation and left confused as to why they were developing such powers. While the villain slowly showing it's motive and interest. In particular toward Teddy, the character Wren plays. 

Towards the end of the movie, each surviving child which strangely develop super powers escaped from the institution-like prison using the powers they have. But Teddy, in his effort to make a run with Yves, got kidnapped by Gustav, the villain.

Yves with the power of energy manipulation tried his best to rescue Teddy but due to his inexperience in battle and small body, Teddy was gone and he cried regrettably.

I shed tears in this scene too. Understanding his hopelessness and inability to do one right thing. 

The end credits rolled and I wiped my tears. 

Mika snorted at me though I could see tears glistened in one of his eyes. 

"Next!" I yelled and Mika pressed the next button. We already put a playlist for our movie party tonight. Sammy was suppose to join us tonight. But he got held up on the way. Saying something about a girl was waiting for him in front of the office. 

I change position as the black screen showed an underground confinement painted white equipped with modern technology. I swear, dystopian set-up always shows white paint walls and modern technology to indicate it was the villain base.

Inside a room, there was a boy. Looking a bit more mature than he previously was yet he somehow looked miserable and unkept. His mouth keep mumbling and mouthing a word repeatedly. "The truth..."

A man clad in crisp suit and gelled hair approached the room. "Ready to tell me?"

Teddy lifted his head. His face was dark with no intention to comply. Under his eyes, dark circle formed, his cheeks sunken and his long hair looked dull and britled. 

Gustav laughed like a true villain that he is at Teddy meaningless protest. "Hold out the truth as long as you want. You'll end up telling me the truth that I desire."

Teddy bit his lower lip, mad and frustrate at his hopelessness. He crumpled his body as if he wanted to melt into the wall and disappear. It had been a year since he was kidnapped and he has waited for a hope that maybe his friends would come to save him.

Alas, the power of truth that he sees, that he had foresaw teold him otherwise. 

The future is bleak.

"Poor baby," I sympathize as I watched Wren's spectacular acting. His popular face and eyes acting had conveyed the character fears and weaknesses. It become immerseful when a reader had reads the book and understand the character agony. 

The story continue to progress it's plot to it's main characters struggle and motivation as they try to lead a normal lives outside of the institution with new powers. They were kids from slum where plague ran rampant before, yet they still struggle to live as masses acceptance were as bad as before. No, a lot worse.

In the world where class division was apparant, they who suddenly emerged with powers lost their footings in society and were treated as abomination. The government actively flagged them as terrorist and as plague carrier. 

"Don't you think the government looked petty, fighting with kids," Mika commented. He continued to steal my popcorn throughout the movie. 

"That's the charm of this genre. It's the same with superhero movies. It's underdog vs bully. You can't help but to support the underdog," I said and handed him my bucket. 

The story getting serious with tension among their members as some of them not agree with the way Charles leading the group. High stakes were thrown when those members were saying facts about many of them were not really good at handling their powers and even useless in battle. At the end, a small group volunteered to go save Teddy.

One of them was Yves. 

* * * * *

The end credit for <Eugene part 2> has been rolling for a minute but Mika doesn't seem to have any intention to stop crying. I cried too but it stopped after Teddy was saved. To be precise he wasn't save by the group rather he found an opportunity to make a run for it by using his true power to manipulate Gustav to do the unthinkable.

The reason Mika was crying ws because a character died before completing his mission and the way Zigler directing the scenes with it's no music moment, showing the actor raw acting touched Mika's heart. Maybe because he shared the same sentimentality as Yves. 

"Toilet break. Don't start until I get back!" Mika said as he ran to o a toilet run which is on ground floor near the kitchen area.

"Umm," I replied as I took my phone to check any messages from Sammy. Before that I hit the pause button so that <Eugene part 3> won't start. 

<Eugene part 3> was released earlier this year with shocking twist for non-reader fans of the movie. Of course, as someone who has read <Reaching For The Star> and actually read <Eugene> series, watching Wren's acting together with other actors as well brought out different feelings from when reading it.

The third part has been released to online platform ahead of the world wide release of the last part of the movie the end of this week. 

> Babu: I have insider news for Wren's upcoming work.

> Babu: But, read this first. [Link]

I clicked the link that Sammy send me a 20 minutes ago. A new web page was loaded and revealing a gossip media outlet with Wren's photo side by side with a screen capture of supposed variety show with Ferrera in it.

[[BREAKING] Ferrera mysterious boyfriend revealed! Yet ended so soon]

Thus the title says and the content wrote by the reporter mostly a copy paste moment-to-moment of what was actually happened during a variety show attended by Ferrera and other female cast of <Eugene part 4> as part of promotional junket for the movie. The reporter also included an insert video of the moment.

The variety show that they attended was a popular show with heavy mission-based activity. The mission that time they had to do was to call the first name appear on the call log and during Ferrera's turn, the top most name was registered as 'BB'.

Of course, every cast was shocked to see that because Ferrera was known as someone who does not share her private life to public. The producer said that it was okay if she does not want to call this 'BB' person though they slyly asked her about who and what 'BB' was.

Ferrera being the cool character she was, admitted that 'BB' person was someone special to her. She added while laughing, 'But we already broke up last week. I forgot to change his name.' 

Everybody froze at her statement.

'But you still in contact with him?' One of the cast asked curiously. It seemed he accidentally let his curiousity get the better of him kind of moment that he quickly realized.

'Well, we are currently working together. So we can't help it.'

Once again everybody were shocked with her bold answer. 

'I think I'm okay calling him. He's very professional. Though I don't know if he'll pick up right now. He's doing junket too,' she said in a relax manner and called the person named 'BB'. Everybody was nervous and astonished at Ferrera cool and professional attitude.

Her phone which was put on loud speaker rings a few times before the person on the other line picked it up.

A sweet and deep voice was heard and the set was shook with various captions and zoom in on casts reaction were shown. It includes actors from <Eugene part 4> showing that the relationship that already ended was a secret. 

'Sorry to call you so suddenly. Are you busy? I'm currently filming <Get Up and Run> and the mission is to call the latest name on the call log. Is it okay?' Ferrera asked.

'Yeah sure,' the man asnwered happily.

'Oh but they accidentally saw the name I saved for you... so, the cat's out of the bag. Is it okay?'

Immediately the man voice errupted with laughter. 'Yeah, I don't mind if you don't. Can I introduce myself?'

Ferrera looked at the cast and the producer's face. Everybody seemed to have guess the person behind the voice but they need confirmation so they nodded their head with anticipitation.

'Hello, this is Tish from <Get up and Run>, nice to meet you!' said a female cast member. 

'Hello! I'm Wren Klauzen. Nice to meet you too.'

And so, many noice were heard from the video and the casts reaction before it ended. It was almost a 5 minutes insert video and the article itself received a lot of reaction from fans of Ferrera and the show it self. Most importantly, Wren's fans too started to flood to this article and commented on it too.

Honestly, I was not suprised by the article. It was something I thought of as a hidden story rather than hidden plot because <Reaching For The Star> nature of genre. Moreover how short Wren's relationship with Ferrera, the author must have decided this piece of story was not relevant to the plot and something that she thought of in brief. 

I type a message to Sammy.

> How bout your lovelife Sammy? Smthg happen with that girl?

Sammy instantly replied as if he been waiting for my reply.

> Babu: None of ur business. Back to Wren, here's the insider story that I recently get my hands on.

> Babu: [Aiden: Love_and_Time_Fae_Synopsis&Pilot.V35.pdf]

Reading the title of document that Sammy fowarded to me, I blinked my eyes a few times. I heard footsteps behind me, probably Mika walking inside after relieving himself. I quickly sent a message to Sammy without reading the document. 

> Fae? Wren's next pro? R u sure?

> Babu: 100%. I heard he heavily involved with the synopsis.

I was taken aback by Sammy's reply. Suddenly I felt like I was hit on behind of my head. I had prepare myself for causality when I decided to involve with <Heart Rescuer> investment project and having the production team winning many awards instead of only Wren according to the novel.

> How about <Daily Life of Vampire>?

> Babu: The script exist with production and actor line up. Even the investment too. Lead actor, Jeremy Vasco.

"What's wrong Myra?" Mika asked looking at my face, my eyes were out of focus. 

There has never been script <Aiden: Love and Time Fae> and the fact it happened after <Heart Rescuer> won a lot of awards at Millain Award, I realized that going foward, <Reaching For The Star> will be slightly different. 

To begin with, that story has never finish and the last time I read it, it was chapter 2658 when Wren was 33 years old. 

It's okay.

I know Wren will do splendidly in whatever project he does. Either being a vampire or being a faerie, the basis is still the same. He is doing drama and the character is a mystical being. 

What I really need to focus on is the story that I am involved in. 

Currently at the early chapter in volume 2 and many volumes ahead, I have to make sure that I head is in the game. 

Thinking back, if I had realized what story I am in, my assimilation with this character would not be this hard. The contrast of 'on scene' and 'off scene' were so jarring and require many force action against my will, I fear for my future.
