During the production process, Anita also knew that I had to put my career first and focus entirely on this film. Despite that, we both support each other and are committed to keeping our relationships professional and not letting personal feelings interfere with each other's career goals.
Every day, we both undergo intensive acting training and learn the characteristics of each to understand how we can portray this couple well on screen. In the process, I admired Anita more and more and appreciated her hard work as an actress.
Suddenly, news of my relationship with Anita spread through the media and made an intense public spotlight. We were both surprised by such a huge reaction, but we were committed to staying focused on our work and not being swayed by the opinions of others.
We are both aware that the entertainment industry is a world full of gossip and intrigue, and we have a duty to protect our privacy. We have decided not to give any official statement about our relationship, and are trying to maintain professionalism in public.
However, behind the scenes, we both feel happy to be in a relationship that supports and understands each other. We discuss our feelings openly and try to strike a balance between work and our personal lives.
So, we remain focused on our career goals and strive to give our best in this project.
In the production process, we managed to bring our characters well on screen. Our compactness as a couple in this film is reflected in our ability to build strong chemistry. Despite the various obstacles and pressure from the media, Anita and I managed to face everything carefully. We can separate our professional lives on set from our personal lives out there.
However, the Van Walton family, the Anita family, which is the richest family in the country, began to urge us to formalize our relationship immediately.
“I'm sorry, Prince. It's all my fault for asking for your help to pretend to be my lover" Anita said.
I held Anita's hand gently. "No, it's not your fault, Anita. We both do this as a team. I know that the media and pressure from your family have put us in this difficult situation, but we're going through it together."
Anita looked at me with a face full of doubt. "But what about my family's insistence that we get married? I don't want you stuck in a marriage that's based solely on their influence and interests."
I also stroked her cheek gently. "Calm down, Anita, we've made it this far. I'll keep helping you no matter what happens in the future."
The Van Walton family finally announced about our engagement after Anita said that we both decided to get engaged first.
They also invited all family and close friends for an engagement celebration at the Van Walton family home. The event was a moment of excitement and joy for everyone present.
Although no one really knows me and Anita are just pretending to be engaged, but all the preparation of the event is done seriously. This fake wedding is arranged so neatly and decorated with very real beauty. We hire a professional event planner to take care of all the details, from decorations, food, wedding clothes, to entertainment.
The event began with a welcome from both families conveying their joy and hope that we both have a happy life together. Then, between us were paired fake engagement rings prepared in advance.
During the event, we both tried our best to show each other love and affection. We posed with smiles of happiness in every corner of the room, dancing together amidst the boisterous crowd.
However, behind the smiles and laughter we showed, there were conflicting feelings that haunted our minds. We both realized that this was just a drama that we created to please the people around us. But what we're continuing makes our relationship even more complicated.
Actually, Anita and I realized that pretending to be engaged would not last long. Our future is still unclear. We have to take a decision that leads in the right direction, although that may disappoint many.
"What do you want, Luna?" I asked carefully, trying to calm the nervous voice within me.
The voice across the phone sounded vibrating. "I wonder why you're doing this, Prince?"
Apart from Anita, I still have a good relationship with Luna and Maya.
“Alright, Luna, can we meet? I want to explain everything to you in detail. I would like to give an explanation and apologize if any misunderstandings occurred. Are you willing to give me a chance at that?" my answer.
We finally decided to meet at a quiet cafe in the middle of the city on Sunday. I'm glad he's willing to give me a chance to explain everything and make peace.
“So, you just helped Anita to pretend to be her lover?” Luna nodded slowly while looking at me with concern. "Yes, right. Anita asked me to please pretend to be her lover so her family wouldn't keep pushing her to get married."
I felt a little awkward and guilty for having hidden this from her from the start. "I'm sorry, Luna. I know this is inappropriate and stupid, but Anita is my best friend and she is devastated by the pressure of her family.”
Luna looked at me with a sharp look, but then her face softened. "Really, you're stupid, but your heart is really good, right?" Luna said with a gentle smile.
I was relieved to hear that and smiled back at him. "Thank you, Luna. I know it's unethical, but I'm trying to help my friend as best I can."
Luna shook her head. "No need to apologize to me. I just want you to know that you can be honest with your friends. There are many ways to help someone without having to lie."
Luna's treatment made me feel grateful for her presence in my life. No matter what happens, I have to learn from his kindness and get better in the future.
After talking for a long time, Luna asked to be sent home. Of course, I also drove Luna home. When we arrived in front of his house, Luna thanked him for everything and said that she was very happy to be able to spend time with me. I smiled and said I felt the same.
However, Luna asked and insisted that I stop by her house. I nodded and followed Luna into her house. Luna's house looks warm and cozy. We sat in the living room, drinking tea and continuing our conversation.
Luna told me more about her life, her hobbies, and her dreams. I also share stories from my life. We laughed and knew each other more deeply.
“Ah, so you like to collect items such as books and artwork of famous artists," I said amazed.
Suddenly, Luna made one more request.
Seriate.
