"Can't a student go to school even on summer holiday?" he answered crudely.

I looked at Allen with bewildered face. Then I faced the road ahead back. "I'm just asking. Usually kids go out and play with friends."

Even back when I was a high school student, I went out to play with my friends amid busy filming schedule. So, I am worriedd if he had any fun in his high school friends or not. Kids nowadays mostly spend their time studying 20 hours a day that I somehow feel sorry for them.

Allen let out a long sigh. Probably he can't handle the awkward tension between us. Well, he's the one started it first. 

"I have club activity," he said in a low voice. 

"My face lit up at his answer. "Oh really? What kind of club?"

I parked my car near the school gate. Immediately I cover the lock button before Allen get to press it. 

"Oh come on!" he stompped his feet. 

I smiled at him menancingly. "Hurry with the answer."

Allen wiped his face with both of his hands. "Performing arts okay. Satisfied?"

Hearing his answer, my eyes turned wide.

"It's not because of you! I'm doing backstage stuff... And there's this girl..."

"Ohhh..." Yeah, who am I to give aspiration to my younger sibling. Though it might be for the best since the industry is not all glitters and gold. 

I never hope for Allen to follow my footsteps and I am quite relieved to know that he applied for normal high school. My mother once said that Allen wants to be a normal civil servant worker like my father. 

From a far I saw a silhouette of a girl standing in front of the school gate. I noticed before she walked with a group of students. She standing there alone. 

I looked at Allen. His forehead rested against the dashboard like he was defeated big time by his evil older brother.

"Don't tell mommy I do this because of a girl," he said sadly. 

Awww. Now I feel guilty teasing him like this.

"Is she pretty?" I asked.

He limply nodded his head. 

"Is it that girl? She's pretty."

Instantly, he lifted his head and looked at the way I pointed. His face turned bright with slight flush on his cheeks. Why don't you act this cute with me, you brat.

"Well, I for once don't mind you're doing this because of a girl. Who knows, at the end of the day you might really-"

"Ahh, faster unlock the door."

Listen when your brother want to give life advice. I sighed. "Pull it two times."

"What?"

"Car nowadays when parked just need to pull it two times for front seats," I explained it him who clearly looked dumbfounded by the info. 

"Stuuupid," I added together with a raspberries. I don't care if people think I'm being petty, it's because his my little brother that I can do this; petty revenge.

This time it's not just his cheeks flushed, his whole face turned red. "You're the one that stupid! I'm telling mommy on you!"

In his fit of anger, he tried to open the door the first time yet the door didn't budge which made him flinched. The second try, he successfully get himself out and slam the door shut.

"Don't slam it like that!" I yelled.

"I don't care. Stuupid!" he response it with a raspberries. Then he ran to his friend. 

The girl who saw him running, waved her hand and greeted him with big smile. They talk for a brief moment and proceed to enter the school while holding hands.

"Those cute kids... Eurghh." 

Still my mouth stretched wide knowing that Allen has someone he is happy with during his high school days. 

Talking about happy days, I fished out my wallet from my back pocket. I took out Myra's name card and gazed at her name.

It has been about 8 years since I last saw a seed of destiny. To see it on her head last night was a shocked but more like a unexpected kind of shock because seed of destiny has been appearing in his life for three times so far (not including last night). 

Each time it appear, it means a big turn around in my life, like when I saw it on my auntie's phone or on Lucas's head. Those two times led me to become a star actor. Once I found my answer to destiny calling, that seed will flew away and vanish until the next one. 

So, what about you?

I took my phone and scanned the QR code. 

I pressed an icon on my screen that took me straight to a webpage which have a simple interface; a tittle of the webpage and a phone number with a location of an office of this particular company. 

"The Rent Company." I read.

"All rentable except skies and seas...?" The slogan said and I scratched my cheeks. 

I tried to scroll below but the page didn't budge. I expact to find a number belong to a beautiful woman yet the reality was harsher for a first timer like me, that I've been sca- Not yet, there's a number. I can try that number.

I should have test out the QR code last night!

With suspenseful feeling, I pressed the bright bluiesh number and it it took me straight to a caller screen. Then I proceeded by pressing the call icon. 

Brr, brrr...

Brr, brrr...

Brr, brrr...

"Hi, thank you for calling The Rent Company! We are a company that rent every other things imaginable except for skies and seas. I'm Julia your service assistant, how may I help you?"

A very friendly and hospitable voice caught me off guard. I took a few breath before I answered. "Um hi! May I know is there an employee name Myra working for your company?"

A long pause. "May I know with whom I'm talking to?"

I really don't want to expose myself like this but, "my name is Wren. Last night I received a name card from Myra. I just wondering why her number is directed to your company."

"Ahhhh..." she answered quickly. "Then, you may visit our office for appointment at any days between Monday to Friday from 9am to 5pm and on Saturday from 10am to 12pm. For summer, we open from Monday to Thursday from 9am to 5pm and on Friday from 9am to 12pm."

This woman really make me feel flustered by her sunny voice and too much information at once. "Oh, okay."

"If there's no more enquiries, I wish you have a nice day. Bye, bye."

I looked at my phone screen. Our whole conversation didn't even last more than 5 minutes and I am left with more question than before. The only clue left for me is to go to this office but it seems it situated inside a campus ground.

"University Sundial, Business and Development District... My old university but I never went to this part of campus before," I mumbled. My head churning with the next plan of action. 

I put my phone back at the cup holder place behind the gear. I stepped on break pedal, I change my gear and drove to my next destination. 

* * * * *

University Sundial is one of top 3 university in the country and has been my alma meter for school of arts and performing studies ack when I was 18 years old. 

Back then, even when I was busy with filming schedule, I made sure to further my studies and also to enjoy a little bit more my life as a hardworking student life with my best friends. Despite it is hard to get admitted, all 7 of us made it into together. 

Yet, Business and Development District is something I never set foot to since the building itself filled with student entrepreneur, start up tech companies, and also small business owned by graduates. 

Not to mention school of arts and performing studies and school of business and economics studies which Business and Development District the closest to, the distance between these two schools are like between two opposite poles.

I knocked on the door a few times. I heard a voice welcoming me in with an automatic look off and the door open slightly ajar. I pushed the door open and let myself in.

"Hello?" I said.

"Welcome!" a voice welcoming me in. It's a woman in a comfortable polo t-shirt and khakis. "Please have a seat."

I sat on a retro looking couch with wooden frame. The whole office looks somewhat retro in design yet still keeping it with modern touch. There are many framed photos of places, buildings, and random things.

The office itself was small and have another connecting room with a plaque glued to the door written 'Chief'. 

"Please have some treats and teas. Make yourself comfortable," the woman said after she arrange my cup and a plate of sweet desserts. 

"My name is Phillemina. Call me Mina for short. May I know who you are sir?" 

"Wren... Klauzen," I said a bit hesitant if I should said my family name. Well, she doesn't seem to realize of who I am until 'Klauzen' was said. 

She stared at me for a good 10 seconds then her mouth turned 'O'. "You're-"

"It's because of the glasses," I lied. The reason why many people including my fans barely able to recognize me outside of my work was because of persona. The person that they saw in movies or dramas looked so different than the Wren Klauzen they saw in person. 

I can't really say to people of that reason. It somehow sounded boastful in my ears so I just said that it was because of make up and glasses to make things easy to understand. 

My everyday look sometimes make people so surprise that I earned 'that iguana friend' title mostly used by reporters or gossip channel. 

I think the recent use of that title was yesterday. I suddenly showed up in my fans camera angle at Games Con that she belatedly realized that it was me. She ranted about it in her post and I can only laugh.

"I see... It's true then." Mina nodded her head understandingly. "Then, I suppose you know what is this place, right?"

I nodded once. "Sort of, it's a company that provide rental services? Actually, I'm searching for someone," I said straight to the point. 

"I received a name card and I tried to reach her but the number only shows office number. This 'Julia' I talked to said I need to come to office for appointment."

"May I know from whom you received the name card?"

"Myra."

Mina face changed. Then it revert back to her professional face. "If it's Myra, she no longer provide intangible rental service starting today."

"Yes?"

"Yes?"

"No, I mean, what's intangible service?"

This time Mina's face frozen. Then she laughed out loud. "Oh my god, where is my manner," she said.

"Um, first of all, I'm sorry because I assume you already understand fully about our company and second, intangible service mean something like a emotional support service. For example, girlfriend," she explained. 

As fast as lightning, my mind understood what her underlying words before. "Oh, no. No. I'm not asking for that rental service. I just want to know if it's possible for me to connect with Myra."

Mina's smile turned gloom. "I'm so sorry, we can't tell you her phone number but maybe I can propose you with something else."

"Of course."

Mina stood up and took a tablet on her desk. Then she showed me a catalogue of items.

"Here are a few items that Myra listed for rental service that you might interested. Once you decide, we will arrange an appointment for you either via video call or face-to-face. Usually for items from here to here, she likes to do video call only but items from here to here," Mina showed me a list of property belongs to Myra.

"She will usually brings guest to do tour before write up a rental contract."

I nodded finally fully understand how this company work. 

I browsed through pictures of beautiful houses ranging from studio room to a villa. There is a house that particularly attract my attention. A villa with a lake and in between was a field of yellow flowers spread across. 

A smile bloom on my face. When I thought that I have lose my chance to meet Myra, unironically a field dandelions flower pulled me back to her. 

"But, may I know why she suddenly stop her intangible rental service?" I asked when that question suddenly pops-out of my mind. 

Mina's mouth formed a thin line. "I want to know it myself too. She has been doing this for a long time and many of our customer loves her service."

Somehow I got a feeling that Myra is trying to avoid me. From her clumsy running last night, this name card and now suddenly stop doing things she has done for a long time, I can't help but feeling that way.

The name card might be accidental because I'm the one who request it but she could tell me that there is no her number. No, no. I didn't properly tell her of my purpose. 

Hah... when I have almost to zero skill in flirting, I can't cry over a spilt milk. 

"Then, can you help me set up an appointment with her for this vila?"

Mina looked at my choice and she gave me a bright smile. "Of course. Should I make your request as anonymous?"

"Could you?"

She laughed at my immediate response. "Yes, in this case, we usually gave our service provider a brief introduction for example your age, gender and expectation upon request. Some customer wants to remain their identity for unbiased evaluation and it's up to us service assistant to give in good words to our provider."

I can't help myself from feeling relieved hearing Mina's words. 

"Actually, I'm a fan of yours. So I can't help but wanting to support you like this. Myra is a very nice person so catch her properly this time, okay. I'm rooting for you!"

I scratched my cheeks. I'm at lost for words. Does it look that obvious?

"How abou Julia? I think I talked to her on the phone before."

"Oh don't worry about her. She went out for lunch. Your secret is safe with me." Mina assured me. 

Yeah, better this way though I felt sorry to Mina because she might build up a false hope. There's no guarantee my destiny to Myra would end up as lovers because it might turned out it was for my upcoming project or something.

True, I'm attracted to her. But that does it.

I learned from many lives over and over, that love has never been sweet for me.
