Chapter 04: Pudding

" How would you feel if someone was watching you? "

" Especially if you were alone in an unknown place "

" Of course you would be scared! "

" But what will happen next, Is your decision "

" Either you give up and escape, or wait and face what will happen bravely "

" And I chose to wait and face what will happen bravely "

" I did not choose this because I was brave, but because there is nothing to be afraid of. "

▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪

My thoughts were confused. I had many questions to ask.

I was thinking deeply, trying to find convincing answers to my questions.

I did not even notice the person who was watching me and standing a few steps away from me.

▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪

I was indeed thinking deeply, however, I felt uneasy.

Something was wrong around here.

I was trying to focus on my next step after my sister put me in this difficult situation.

But I could not ignore those eyes that were staring at me.

I immediately looked at those brown eyes for a little while before I realize I was staring at a girl.

▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪

I have seen a blonde girl with some tufts colored with brown. She has brown eyes and white skin with a slim body and average length.

I must admit that she has attracted my attention.

As a young man, it is normal to be attracted to a beautiful girl, but in my case, the situation was not like that!

Her appearance caught my eye!. She was quite looking like an idiot!

She was holding a dish of pudding in her hand, the spoon was hanging inside her mouth.

Her eyes opened wide. As if she has seen a ghost!.

~WHY?!~

Why is she looking at me like this?

Is she scared of me? Am I scary?!

▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪

Her look at me diverted my attention from my major problem and made me furious.

I was furious already because of what has happened to me.

I was about to go toward her after losing my temper once again.

She opened her mouth as if she wants to say something. The spoon that was inside her mouth fell to the ground all of a sudden and that pudding was shaking in her hand.

She pointed her finger at me and said a few words with that stupid look on her face:

" Oh my God! I can not believe my eyes! You are Star, the famous International actor! "

After hearing her words I stopped immediately.

I realized why she was staring at me back then.

" How stupid I am! "

I was busy with my problem and forgot that I am a famous person standing alone in an unknown place!

" Orange hair, orange eyes! I am not mistaken. This is you Star! My favorite lovely actor "

She mentioned my orange hair! I almost forgot about that.

▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪

When I was a kid, everyone was making fun of my hair color.

I wondered why were they doing this?!. It's not that I dyed my hair, I was born like that!

I hated my hair because of them. But this has changed when I became famous.

My orange hair became part of my fame and the brand that I am proud of it.

▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪

That girl began to shout all of a sudden, interrupting my thoughts!

" Hey everyone come over here!. You won't believe this! Star the famous international actor is here!!! "

She was calling everyone who lives in the neighborhood to come.

After a while, I began hearing their voices, talking with each other, while they are heading towards us:

" Hey guys, did you hear that voice? "

" This voice looks familiar! "

" Yeah, she is Pudding! "

" Why is she shouting? Is she in danger?! "

" I think she was saying that Star the famous actor is here! "

" WHAT?! "

" Star?! The famous actor is here?! "

" Really?! Is he the real one?! I love him so much! I want to see him! "

" Come on! How could you believe that crazy girl?! "

" Why not?! Pudding is a nice girl she won't lie about something like that? "

" I know that already but think about it. A famous actor like Star does not have a reason to be in a miserable place like this!! " 

" Yeah! Why would he wants to be here?! This place does not suit him! "

_______________________

They were arguing with each other about if that girl was right or not!

During this, one of them observed my presence. He pointed his finger at me and called my name - exactly like what that girl did!

Everyone looked at where he was pointing at:

" Hey! Look over there! "

" Oh my God! He is Star! "

" THE REAL ONE! "

" Come on! Let's go to greet him and take a picture with him "

▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪

I remember when I was a kid I watched the animal world program on TV.

I watched how lions get their food.

I watched five lions chasing after one poor gazelle.

The gazelle was so fast!. It was escaping as fast as it can from its sharp teeth.

But when lions are hungry they could be faster.

I don't know why I remembered this when I saw them running towards me.

Maybe because they were like those hungry lions!

They are bored with their miserable life and looking for something exciting.

And I am the exciting thing that they were looking for.

I am that poor gazelle.

▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪

" OH, MY GOOD! "

I scared. I ran immediately. They all were chasing me.

How can I escape? I hate people I can't deal with them! Where should I go?

I'm pretty sure that all citizens of this neighborhood are knowing I'm here.

I can't escape from them! They will catch me sooner or later!!

The place became crowded in a few minutes!.

And that blonde girl was looking for me.

" Oh no! The place became crowded! I can't see him!!! "

" What have I done? I think he is in trouble right now! "

" Of course he is. He is surrounded by all these monsters!! I can't reach him to get his autograph. "

" What should I do? I want his autograph "

" I must help him to get rid of all of these monsters and get his autograph in return"

" Oh! Good idea! "

▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪

She smiled like an idiot and shouted:

" Hey guys, I was mistaken. He is not Star the famous actor. He is another person! "

" YOU ARE A LIAR! "

All of them shouted at her with these few words at the same time.

I think she was trying to help me but she has come up with a stupid plan! Because it's too late to say such a thing.

That girl was extremely angry:

" Alright, I think I have no choice! If you all don't let him go I will call my brother! "

What happened after that was like a miracle. 

▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪

I stopped running when I observed that they are disappeared. I have no idea how did this happen?!

I was panting when I stopped and asked myself " was it a dream? " but I'm sure there were a lot of people running after me!

I didn't waste my time thinking about this. I was happy because they left, I'm safe now.

But that little moment of happiness didn't last long because I realized something at that moment:

" I was running and I don't know this place. Where am I now? Where should I go? I'm lost! How can I go back to that house?! "

__________________________

That blonde girl came out in front of me suddenly from somewhere. She was smiling like an idiot.

Pudding: Hehe! Don't worry no need to be afraid. You are safe now! And no need to thank me as well. But you can give me your autograph in return! ( Oh My God! I don't believe that I'm talking with my lovely idol )

Star: You have said " No need to thank me? ", but why should I thank you in the first place?

Pudding: What are you saying? I saved you from all those monsters!

Star: Are you saying that they have gone because of you?

Pudding: Yes!!. See, I saved you and I don't want any reward I just want your autograph.

Star: You called them monsters but they are my fans, am I right?

Pudding: Yes, everyone here loves you, I am a big fan of you as well! You are my lovely idol!

Star: You are a fan of me and this makes you a monster, just like them!

Pudding: Huh? But.. but why? I have saved you from them?

Star: All that happened was because of you! If you didn't shout that time, no one of them would come. I didn't want anyone to know that I'm here. thanks to you they are knowing this now!

Pudding: Please don't be mad at me!. Well, I indeed caused that mess but then I felt guilt and saved you! And I don't want any money in return, I just want your autograph.

Star: What are you talking about? You don't need my autograph!

Pudding: What?! NO! But why? Didn't I save you?!

Star: You indeed saved me but you did that because you felt guilt, not to get my autograph. Why should I give you anything for feeling guilt? I have nothing to do with your feelings.

Pudding: Is that mean you won't give me your autograph?

Star: Exactly!

Pudding: Alright, If you are insisting on this, I have no choice then.

Star: What is that supposed to mean?

Pudding: Well, if you won't give me your autograph, I will shout once again and make them back here!
