The entertainment industry is like high school sometimes: only fun if you are rich and famous. Ironically enough though most famous celebrities say they weren’t one of the popular kids in high school which makes sense because most actors are ex nerdy theatre kids after all. Even Aliza was a nerdy theatre kid, she was nowhere near popular as she was now. But Aliza being Aliza didn’t let that stop her from having her Netflix series level of high school life she just had fun enjoyed her life having fun with friends and focusing on her future, she decided not to get herself down over her lack of popularity and enjoyed her life.

I was a nerdy bookworm back in high school which did not mean that I was studious in any way shape or form I just loved reading books and that was the only thing people knew about me, my only good memory from school is that of all of us sitting together in a circle and discussing what we will be doing once we have a real job and have our own money.

Some said they want to renovate their bedrooms some wanted to buy cars and makeup or clothes but when they asked me what will I do with my first salary I just shrugged and said.

“I will save up”

While everyone looked at me like I was crazy I explained.

“I want to buy a house, when I was young I used to live with my grandmother at this nice house and I was really happy but we moved out and sold the house when we were young and I haven’t been happy ever since so I want to buy our house back so that we could live happily again”

That was the first time in my life I realized I had a dream that was the first time I ever thought about my future. Little did the naive old me knew that it wasn’t a house that I craved for but it was a home, it was a family filled with people who actually loved me, the people from that home is still in my life but as I grew up I realized the happiness I felt was just an illusion.

It wasn’t perfect I was just perfectly shielded.

When I sat in my rented apartment with my weird roommates sharing the street food we brought, was actually the first time I got a glimpse of a family.

Little did I know that I wasn’t the only one who was saving up her first salary, unbeknownst to me far away Aliza also saved up her money and bought her own house. I often wonder what would have gone through her mind when she moved into her own place, nervousness? Sadness? Excitement?

But I did know one thing: whatever it was she was enjoying her move, just like she enjoyed everything.

That’s just how Aliza was all her life even now, even as her comment sections filled up with hate comment’s about her work and her relationship with Rayan she didn’t let any of it affect her and she just decided to enjoy her life, and today she was backstage ready to walk the ramp for a reputed designer even as her phone was blowing up with hate comments.

  Chupacabra1980: OMG did you seriously call Rayan there to promote your stupid little walk? This is getting excessive at this point he is supposed to be working, how desperate are you?

This comment caught Aliza’s eyes, she brushed it off as some sort of weird misunderstanding Aliza hadn’t met Rayan in months, they had wrapped up their film months ago ever since they were both extremely busy with their shooting schedules only being able to squeeze in a late night video call after a long day of work, no way Rayan was there.

Mishtidoi95: If your Rayan is showing up somewhere uninvited then he is the attention seeker if he is supposed to be working why is he there even? Seriously what dose Aliza even see in this guy?

Someone had replied to their comment, without thinking she picked up her phone and called Rayan, and he didn’t pick up, this was rare for Rayan, he always picks up her call unless…he was working, maybe he was working, no way he flew one hour to come watch her walk the ramp, Right?

Well, she was wrong as he was there to surprise her cheering her on the loudest.

That’s the funny thing about life, you can spent half your life searching and earning something you think is exactly what you need but at the end of the day most of the time it’s just a house just another building, but then you randomly find you home in a random person you never knew will one day be so important to you.

And at that moment there was no doubt in Aliza’s mind that she had found her home.

But you know what another funny thing about life is? Whenever you think you had figured something out it pushes you back into an emotional spiral so bad that by the time you are done you have no idea what you are doing anymore.

  While Aliza was having the time of her life, I was curled up in a ball crying my eyes out in my bed.

Why? Because back then even I thought I had found my home and boy was I wrong, that home shattered in a mental earthquake so bad that nothing of me survived.

I had to build myself up from scratch after what happed, but at that point, I wasn’t there yet I was in denial to say the least. Crying sobbing telling myself all this is a huge misunderstanding, and all friends fight occasionally.

I was telling myself to stop crying telling myself that they weren’t worth my tears, but noting was working I was telling myself that nothing was ever going to work but then right when I was about to lose hope. There was a notification on my phone.

Rayan just made a post

I blinked my tears away confused as I checked the post and my eyes went wide, who knew that random hot celebrity I followed on impulse one day would help me stop crying at my worst time.

With all that said and done let me leave you with one piece of information I wished someone would have told me back then.

Houses are made of bricks homes are not that’s why they are easily broken.
