Terrence was about to turn around when a man hurriedly checked out the counter something the actor had clearly heard. He did not immediately hesitate to approach the attendant again and immediately took over the vacant room.
"Ma'am, I want to get that room," he said, facing the woman who was just smiling at him.
"Okay sir. Please just type your full details on the keyboard," the attendant replied, simultaneously placing the keyboard near the actor's hand.
After the actor registered his name on the counter, he went straight to his room using his key that had a number on it. Even though he didn't know where and what room number Jirah was in that hotel, he still hoped they would meet there. When he opened the door of his room and entered there, the actress also went out to the other room to refresh outside.
Jirah was tired from work, so she chose to stay outside the room for a while to relax herself. She went to the mini garden with a fountain on the side of the hotel to entertain her eyes with the colorful flowers. As she looked at the colors one by one, the memory came to her mind that she once placed a vase of fresh flowers on the table of the actor who became her boss, but no matter how hard she tried, the man would not appreciate it.
So, she was just disappointed in her effort because no matter what she did, she still thought vaguely when their friendship with the actor was restored. Even so, the man was still in her heart and she was still throbbing with it.
"Tsk. Why are you still here? Every time I try to forget you, I automatically see things that cause me to remember you," she whispered to herself while picking flowers.
"Who is he that you think of, Jirah?" a voice of a man who had just gotten there.
Jirah looked up at the man. At the height of that actor, the average height actress had a really high vision. However, she just smiled at the man and approached him. The man handed her canned juice and she accepted it.
"Thank you," she said as she motioned her eyes to the man sitting in the couple's chair. The actress couldn't figure out why her partner in the movie went there, even though the man's place was far away from her. Besides, the man had his own condominium and they only met during tapings, important meetings and emergency rehearsals on other matters. So she could not guess what the man next to her was up to.
The man had already asked her before Jirah thought of asking him the same purpose.
"I guess you were asking why I'm here? Well, just go ahead. I just want to see you here and besides, I really got a VIP room here to be with you. My brother is the CEO here, so it's easy for me to ask him any matter when it comes to availability of rooms even if the hotel is relatively fully booked." Jirah just nodded, realizing why that kind of speech she heard from her co-artist.
"Ahm... o-okay," she replied shyly, as she scratched her head.
Some time later, Terrence caught a glimpse of it. He was amazed at the beauty of the fountain and the smell of flowers brought him closer there. At first, he had never seen the actress there because his gaze was focused on the fountains and glamor of the flowers. It was free to pick flowers as long as there were just a few, so he tried to pick three different kinds of flowers.
He sniffed each of her picked flowers, and when he turned around he was shocked to see that his childhood little friend was with another man. His whole body was heating up as if his eyes and whole body were being cemented because he could not move where he was standing. The rush of his emotions suddenly quickened beyond his control. It was as if jealousy and envy were slowly visiting him that he would have been in the position of the man with Jirah.
He saw the man holding the actress' face as if in a movie that the next move was about kissing scenes. He didn't want to see the next scene, so he turned away with two tears falling down on his cheek. He just kept walking without thinking about where he was going. Until he regained consciousness when he realized that he was in the kitchen area.
A chief cook approached him and asked, "Sir, are you hungry already?"
He was just an idiot as if he didn't hear what the person in front of him said. That chief cook thought differently from the expression on his face so, he was told, "Let's just go outside first sir. Just wait a little, we will cook the food we are preparing for you. Just wait in your room. Thank you."
"What?" he asked, once looking around. He just closed his eyes for a moment when he misunderstood the place he entered.
He went back to his room. Reflecting, hurt, realizing his mistake so he saw that his beloved was in another man. The love that he did not even give to the girl had been taken away by others. It was only his own speculation based on what he actually saw in the mini-garden area but he didn't know that there was really nothing between Jirah and his partner in the movie.
His interpretation of what he first saw was really wrong. The two are just rehearsing in their next scene, trying to see if they could count on each other. It was successful then, but Terrence didn't see the whole scene, so he misinterpreted the incident. Terrence cried over the whole night of what he had witnessed. He was disillusioned with himself, giving up when he had no hope of getting the woman he wanted.
The next day, he decided to book a flight back to New York. Even before he did that, he first wanted to see the actress there for the last time in the taping area. He could easily get to the woman's location because he saw in the actress herself that they were going there. So, Terrence got there right away, where the woman had just started taping.
In the exact scene that the actor caught, his eyes were familiar with the movements of the partner in the movie. It was a good act that the director was impressed with the couple who were actually rehearsing before. There, Terrence found out that the two were not a real couple but that he had just misinterpreted what he had seen.
"Yes! I still have hope," he shouted, while his voice was heard throughout the set and still being recorded. So, everyone turned to him.
