The Wannabe Me

Chapter Three Welcome to My Past

She was unceasing - she was constantly pacing - barren with her panicked expression. His eyes were only on the screen of a cell phone that never left his hand. Sometimes he also gritted his teeth which made him feel disturbed. I thought he was more panicked than I was. Actually, this is my problem. I should have felt more anxious and agitated than him.

"Irene, can you stop pacing? My head is spinning looking at you like that! Sit down and calm yourself!" I stopped his steps.

"Ahh..sorry, Brother! I'm just a little worried that they're gonna come in here and try to take you away. Therefore, I want to make sure the security downstairs is completely safe." He said while sitting next to me.

An hour ago, I reached my penthouse after escaping from the pursuits of the palace guards. I don't know what to do if Irene didn't help me. Now my mind is really upset and a little afraid of what will happen next. Can I survive this time? Will my career as an artist end like this? That question always lingered in my head. Coupled with the mother's words about the father who couldn't last any longer made me a little worried and feel guilty. But, honestly in my heart, I really don't want to go back to that place that destroyed me.

Suddenly, the phone on the table rang. Our eyes were on the phone ringing. Then Irene stood up to lift him up.

"Irene, let me answer!" My words pulled Irene's hand so she wouldn't answer the phone.

"All right, Brother!" The reply.

I stood up and immediately rushed up to lift him with an erratic feeling.

"Frost...kring...kring..."

"Hello! Who'sis this?" I answered that phone.

"Vanette, are you upstairs? It's me, Disa, your agency manager! There's something important I want to say! I'm going to take the elevator

VIP, but the receptionist said that the elevator had been shut down an hour ago. Can you turn it on and let me ride?" The reply.

"Ohh...Manager Disa, I'm sorry, is it your own brother?" I said to make sure he didn't bring anyone.

"Yes, I'm alone! If you don't believe me, you check the CCTV elevator!" Her speech.

I also had Irene turn on the LCD screen and check the CCTV in my penthouse to see the lobby room. I saw him actually coming alone. I continued my conversation on the phone.

"Sister, I'll turn on the elevator now! You better just wait in front of the elevator and get in quickly! I'm hanging up now, yeah!" I immediately hung up the phone.

I hurried off to turn on the power of the elevator and waited for her to board. Not long after, he finally got out of the elevator. I immediately welcomed his arrival.

"Vanette, you're okay, right?" He said worriedly while hugging me.

"Yes, I'm fine for now!" My speech.

"Have you seen today's news?" Ask.

"No, Brother!" I'm confused.

"Then, you should see it straight away! Irene?" Her speech.

"Yes, Sister Disa?" Reply Irene.

"Turn on the TV now!" Her request.

"All right!" Irene said as she grabbed the remote and turned on the tv.

"Sir Vanette, don't cry! We can find the solution!" Irene tried to comfort me and hugged me.

"Although I don't want to stop hoping, but this time it seems like I will really be destroyed for the second time and all this because of the same person!" I said while crying.

"Sister Disa, actually Brother Vanette is not wrong what - what! I've always been with him for a long time and I know everything that happened in the past.If you don't believe me, I'll bear witness to his life and explain it to all of them!" Irene.

"It's not that easy, Irene! You might be able to defend him, but you can't give a statement directly like that. All you have to explain is Vanette herself. I don't know what happened to you in the past, Vanette? But, as your agency, we will try to help you out of this matter! If you are right, we will support you completely! Therefore, this time I need to work with you, Vanette! Don't give up before a war, remember that!" Said Sister Disa.

"Yes, okay, brother! I'll listen to anything from you right now!" My reply.

"So, look, I just saw some comments from some of your personal news and channels! And I found something interesting! I'll show you!" Say Kak Disa while opening the contents of his phone.

He also showed a collection of comments - comments that really do not please the heart.

"Their comments are really mean and spicy! How could they say such a thing? At first, they also liked Mr. Vanette!" Irene.

"That's the name of a public figure. If you don't have a problem, then you will be flattered! But, when there is one mistake you make, it will instantly backfire on you! They will attack you at all costs so that you will fall and be powerless again! Therefore, we must be smart - smart to take the steps to solve it so as not to aggravate the situation. However, of course there are still people who think more rationally, even if it is only one person. For example, this guy!" Said Sister Disa while pointing at a comment that caught her attention.

In the comments was a message that said, "I don't know why everyone is blaming Princess Vanette for what happened? Didn't you support him at first? Why are you attacking him now? Honestly, I wouldn't believe that shit if it wasn't for Vanette to say it. We must not hear from one side and judge him severely. But, we should also hear an explanation from him that definitely has a reason why he did it. I'm a big fan of yours, Princess Vanette! I will always support you even if the world hates you. I just wanted to give you some advice that might help ease this misunderstanding a little bit. Show and prove that you are innocent and this is just a misunderstanding. Please prove in a biographical novel your true story. Greetings from a fan who always expects your happiness". That's the content of that comment. My heart was jolted with a full feeling. I didn't think anyone would believe me and try to support me. I was really stupid because I started giving up. Now I realize what I have to do next. The fans are the answer. He is the light left of my life and I will not waste this opportunity.

"Sir Disa! Let's do as he expects! I'm going to do my biography and tell the world everything about my past, feelings and dreams! I don't care what the world will say after, but, the most important thing is that I've been trying to pursue this dream of mine!" My speech.

"I love your spirit, Vanette! This fan is indeed a blessing that is the helper of your life! So, this is a good opportunity to show everything in the light. Then, I'll call a writer to help make your biography, Vanette!" Said Sister Disa who immediately stood up and wore her coat.

"All right, Brother! Thanks for the help! Sorry, it's been a hassle!" My speech.

"Why are you overreacting like that? After all, this is my job and I should have done it! So, prepare yourself and I'll bring that writer here tomorrow! Then, you just rest first and don't think too much of a no - no! Now I say goodbye because I'll take care of it! Oh, hell..." Said Sister Disa who immediately left us.

"Be careful on the road, Sister Disa!" Irene said, leading him into the elevator.

In the end, I really decided to do it. I think this is an opportunity to fix that tangled thread

The next day, the writer came.

"Good morning, Miss Vanette! My name is Mia, the author who will help you. I will help as much as I can. Please good cooperation with you!"Her speech.

"Okay, please sit here!" My reply.

He sat down and pulled out his stationery and was ready to listen to me.

"Okay, Miss Vanette! I'm ready to listen to your story now!" Enthusiasticity says.

"All right! It will be a long story! It all started with....." I started a long story about the past that I really wanted to forget.

The story of my past that I have long hidden in my little heart will finally be revealed. The story of that long past will begin right now and I hope you are ready to listen to it.
