The sound of alarm clock woke Anna from the deep slumber that she was just enjoying a few moments ago…
"Five more minutes…" mumbled Anna as she reached for the alarm clock, switching it off. If she thought that turning the alarm clock off would give her the freedom to go back to sleep, she was about to be proved wrong when after about two minutes, Macchi one of their maids came knocking (or should I say banging) at her door.
"MMMMiiiiiiiissssssssss Aaaaaaaaaaannnnnnaaaaaaaa!!!" came Macchi's demanding voice.
"Oh crap what the---! What do you want? No, forget it just come in." Anna was totally annoyed now, thrusting her body deeper into the covers.
"Good morning Miss Anna!" greeted Macchi then she did her usual curtsy. Anna just rolled her eyes then muttered,"Do you have any idea how early it still is to be banging at your mistress's door?"
"It's six in the morning, and you should be up by now if you want to accomplish everything that you planned for. Remember that you ordered me last night to drag you out of bed if necessary." said Macchi as she opened the windows.
"Yeah I almost forgot!" Anna mentally slapped herself. How reckless of her to let it slip of her mind, today she is going to Aomori for 5 days to meet some clients of their company, Funbari realty and Funbari lending.
'Rise up and shine cousin. You have to be there at eight.' That is the text message that her cousin Jeanne had sent her when she checked her cell phone.
Absentmindedly she looked at the clock then gasped at the time 6:20…
Oh. Crap.
"Macchi!!!!"
"Yes ma'am?"
"I haven't packed my suitcase yet," said the now panicked Anna, "come and get Kanna!" she continued.
She had always relied on Kanna, also one of their maids when it comes to fashion, for a maid she has quite a sense of fashion.
After describing what occasions she will get into, she left everything to Kanna , then proceeded to preparing herself for the long journey that she will have to come across in the next five days.
She had just stepped out of the shower when her cell phone rang, the LCD screen displayed Jeanne's name.
"Good morning Anna!" Jeanne's perky attitude was evident in her voice but no one looking at her for the first time would suspect that for she had the 'Ms. Prim and Proper' façade, "Where are you now?""
"Getting ready to leave actually. I want to start early and get things done," replied Anna, as she gazed at Kanna's direction the older girl signalled that she would just take the luggage outside. Anna just smiled apologetically then mouthed a low 'thank you'
"That's good. Well, I wish you good luck dear cousin. May your trip be fruitful and gain us many future clients."
"Thanks Jeanne, may you be an angel and it would all come true."
"You don't have to say that Anna, I'm an angel remember?" replied Jeanne sweetly.
"Yeah, sorry I forgot, you were an angel who got kicked out of heaven because you were too good for them" teased Anna as she walked out of her room, carrying her bag.
The sun's heat penetrated every fibre of their bodies. It's almost noon and the heat from the sun was more than bearable on their location site, but amidst all that, it seems that their great director is totally clueless of their situation. Yoh can't take it anymore so he left Pirika, their make-up artist who is re-doing his make-up.
"Where are you going Yoh? I'm not done with you yet!" asked Pirika
"I'll just ask for a break."
Yoh went to the director's chair, "Director Oyamada, can we please have a break?" requested Yoh.
The midget director just looked at him then said, "Yoh we only have a few scenes to take, come on let's finish those first. Now young man, go over there and let Pirika redo your make-up so you can now and face your fans" he even motioned for Yoh to go back to his tent.
Yoh looked around a sea of fans who were encircling their shooting site, but instead of being inspired, he felt more weary and tired. It means that after the scenes were covered he will still have to face the crowd before he could claim his much awaited rest.
Yoh couldn't take it anymore so he went straight to the point to clear things out with the director, "Look Director Oyamada, everyone's tired already and the sun's heat is making it hard for everyone to move. Pirika and her team redo our make-up every five minutes because we look like overcooked meatballs. Please have a heart and do everyone a favour by giving a break."
The director looked at his surroundings then sighed, "Okay guys, 20 minutes break!" he informed them.
Everyone in the shooting crew sighed in relief. Yoh smiled and decided to sit under the shade of a tree not far from their shooting location. Soon fans were giggling and ogling at him.
"Hi Yoh. You're so gorgeous!" squealed a fan girl.
"You're even cuter in person!"
"Can I have an autograph?"
"Me too!!!!"
"Thank you!" replied Yoh, he is tired, he didn't get any sleep because right after a photo shoot in Tokyo they headed straight here and his manager even forgot to tell him that he has another commitment here that's why he didn't even got the chance to get at least five minutes of sleep. Yoh know that he couldn't pour all his tantrums to his fans for that would be bad publicity so he just continued to just smile and accepted some of the papers that were handed to him for autograph and accepted them warmly, and just console his self by thinking that this would soon disperse.
A few minutes later Yoh decided that he can't take it anymore and excused himself, "I hate to go guys but the I need to ready myself for our shoot. The director might get angry at me if I'm late. Can we just continue this later?" he even flashed an apologetic smile and puppy dog eyes to them.
The fans understood him and let him pass. But instead of going back to their shooting location, he took another route and break away….
A smile found its way on Anna's face as she was driving in Mainland Aomori, she really loved this place, it has beautiful and peaceful surroundings, not as busy as Tokyo but definitely not boring. She even turned her ipod on and listened to her favourite singer, Ringo Awaya as she mentally plans her activities for the week when she noticed that traffic is starting to build up ahead of her. This surprised Anna because this is not a traffic prone area so she asked a lady who passed by what's happening.
"Is there an accident here? Why are there so many people?"
"No there is no accident there is just some tv crew here who are shooting for a movie" replied the lady but before Anna could ask who are the celebrities present the lady was long gone to the direction of the park.
She was still looking outside and trying to find a banner who could tell her who is the celebrities present when she was startled by a loud thug.
Anna blinked twice then hastily put her headphones down, it's impossible that the sound will come from her ipod. Anna shivered and was alarmed; it looks like she had just hit someone!
She slowly got off her car and her suspicion was confirmed when she found a man lying on the street with blood in his body.
She had heard someone in the back yell "Yoh!" but at this time she just ignored it and even though shaking she managed to ask three guys to help her carry the man's body into her car.
It took her less than 10 minutes to arrive at the nearest hospital where paramedics helped her. After what seems like forever a blonde doctor with the name Dr. Faust embroidered on his coat emerged out of the emergency room; she instantly approached him.
"Is the patient okay doc? Is there any fractures or broken anything?"
"The patient is still unconscious we are now taking some tests on him and are still waiting for the results"
"Thank you doctor"
"You don't have to thank me, I think you should thank the nurses more for they very willing to help your boyfriend."
Anna was stunned, the hospital staff thought that the guy was her boyfriend; she was so worried of the situation to even have the strength to correct him. Out of the blue she looked at the clock, 10 a.m.
"I'm so messed up" muttered Anna to herself as she weakly sit in a nearby bench and for the first time realized what trouble she had just put herself into. She haven't even checked in to the hotel where she should stay for a week and she still have a meeting with a client tonight and right now she has another burden in her shoulders.
"How did I even get into this?"
As always guys reviews are welcomed! Take care. ^_^V
