Chapter -20
After few minutes, Amaya waited outside the caravan and Derrick is inside. Joey went because director called him. Amaya got a call from Aiden.
" how is it going?", Aiden.
" thanks to you I got to see the stars. Not bad actually.", Amaya.
" Don't get busy in admiring them and forgot for what you are doing this.", Aiden.
" I know. You don't tell mom and dad about me working outside like this.", Amaya.
" why?", Aiden.
" mom will be worried about my health condition. You knew the reason why she agreed with me working . It is because I will be under your care and I won't be doing any heavy works.", Amaya.
" okay. ", Aiden.
Amaya saw Joey coming.
" Aiden I will speak to you later.", Amaya said and ended the call.
Joey came near and said," come inside Amy." . Joey went inside the caravan.
She entered and saw Derrick sleeping tiredly.
Joey woke him up.
" What did he said?", Derrick asked.
" well the weather is not good. Since we can't take any outdoor shooting, we can leave.", Joey.
" okay.", Derrick.
" do you have anything to say further?" Derick.
" actually, it seems like we have to extend further.", Joey.
" What do you mean by? you said the shooting ends by 2 weeks. BY FURTHER! what do you mean?", Derrick.
"Extra 2 or 3 weeks. ", Joey.
" I knew this. This happens every time I work with him. I can't do this anymore. Sorry but you have to convince him and not me.", Derrick said angrily
Knowing that he won't listen whatever he says if he is angry.
Joey gave up ," okay I will take to him . Let's wrap up. Amy you take his things and bring it to the van.", Joey said.
Derrick left to his van. Later Amy loaded his things in the van and proceed to close the door.
" where are you going ?", Joey who sat beside the driver asked.
" home? I guess.", Amy.
Derrick smiled and Amy got confused.
" you have a lot to learn. We can't leave unless we get Derrick to his home. As his assistant you have to come with me.", Joey explained.
" oh okay." She said and closed the door.
" where are you going?", Joey.
" I will grab my things and be back soon." She replied.
She went back to grab her bag and took her bike from the parking lot. She drove to where the van is parked and knocked the door and upon hearing the knock both joey and Derrick opened the door. Since she had helmet on her head, Joey couldn't recognize her. She removed her helmet and said, " it's me Joey. I will be following behind ."
" you came in you bike?", Joey widened his eyes.
" since I came by myself today. I brought it.", Amaya.
" you drive?" , Derrick asked in awe looking at the bike.
" since I learned , I guess i can?", Amaya answered his stupid question.
" no.. no... don't take it wrong. It's so cool." Derrick.
" you don't have to ride in your bike from the next time. You have to drive with us.", Joey said sternly.
Amaya nodded and put back her helmet. Soon both the vehicles started to drive and Amaya followed it.
After an 1 hour, they reached in front of a big mansion . She looked at the clock it showed 4 pm. She signed and went towards the can to help Joey with things. Derrick went inside and flopped on the sofa.
Joey and Amaya cane inside with his things. Joey gave Derrick a glass of water.
" well them. Let's wrap up for today. Derrick I have kept the scripts near your table. Take a look at it for tomorrow. Amy we can leave.", Joey said looking at Amy.
Amaya is so tired after driving for an hour. She have to drive again for 1 and half an hour to reach her home. If she know that this would be huge distance, she wouldn't have brought her bike. She sighed and got up
Derick," Joey you can leave. I have some work for her."
Joey signed and went.
" What work Mr. Wilson?", Amaya said getting up.
" oh. It's nothing. ", Derrick.
" What do you mean by nothing?", Amaya.
" oh it seems like you are so tired after driving for an hour. So I just helped you to get some rest."
' wow he is so considerate. i guess this is worshipped by many fans.', Amaya thought.
" Don't take Joey's words into your heart regarding your bike. He can be a bit harsh especially when you break the rules.", Derrick.
" No.. I don't Mr. Wilson. I understood why he said that earlier. He isn't harsh. There is a deep consideration under his harshness.", Amaya replied taking the seat again.
" wow. I guess you are a quick observer then. Just call me Derrick. It's weird to hear Mr. Wilson each time.", Derrick.
Amaya smiled and nodded.
She looked around and saw a guitar placed.
" you can play, Derrick?", Amaya.
" Yes I can . Pretty well.", Derrick said and played a beautiful tune.
" wow that's sounds beautiful ", Amaya said truly in awe.
" thanks. I want to become a singer. I have tried a lot of audition but I couldn't make it. Someone advised me to try acting and that's how I become an actor. Still can't give up music.", Derrick.
" You can still continue. I am sure the company will allow you to do since you have talent for this.", Amaya.
"Amy! I guess you are new to this industry isn't it?", Derrick said and Amaya is confused.
"We are not allowed to do anything other than what we are told to be. Actually, I have talked with Warren , COO of smith entertainment. He didn't gave me a chance. So I can't do it with here. He told me to concentrate in acting since I am so good at this.", Derick.
"You didn't meet Aiden, the CEO?", Amaya questioned.
"No, he is managing 2 companies. He never visited us. He is so busy to think about what happens inside Smith entertainments.", Derrick.
"Is the situation bad inside Smith entertainment?", Amaya.
"Amy, what you see on the surface is not entirely true. Especially in the field of this. In smith entertainments there are many things going on inside. And the people inside pretend like everything is good.", Derrick said drank the juice.
"Oh! Look at the time. I have to leave Derrick. Thanks for the juice.", She said and grabbed her helmet and bag.
"May be the next time I can drive your bike. Joey never allowed me to do that.", Derrick.
"Of course you can. May be without telling Joey", Amaya said with a smile and left.
For three more days, She accompanied Derrick and Joey. From her interaction with Derrick, She found that the artists of Smith entertainment are often working overtime and they have very very strict rules which is not appreciated by the artists. She have decided she have to talk about this with Aiden.
One fine morning, she saw joey sitting on the table distressed.
She went near him and asked, "Is everything alright?".
"No nothing is alright. I have talked to the director. He wishes to redirect few scenes and retake few. He is saying that he is not convinced. I have talked about this with Derrick. But he said he is not doing again. He already had plans after the shoot is over. I don't know how to convince him. He didn't even read the scripts and changes Mr. wang has made.", Joey.
"It's okay. I will talk to him about this. But can you show me the script? I read first and explain it to him. I can convince him somehow.", Amaya.
Joey gave her the script. "Here. But don't talk about this here or now. He is already frustrated because of our argument.", Joey said.
Amaya read the script. She quite understood that why Director Wang have made the changes and development in the script.
By the evening, Joey dropped Derrick off in his home. Amaya is stuck with the cold war between Joey and Derrick.
"Amy, You go talk to him. I will be in the coffee shop near the corner.", Joey said and drove away.
Amaya smiled and rang the bell. Upon seeing her in the camera, Derrick opened the door.
"What happened, Amy? I thought you had left.", Derrick.
"Well. Joey said he have some work to do. So he told me to wait inside and help you with something.", Amaya lied.
"Okay come in.", Derrick.
Amaya entered the house.
"Just make yourself comfortable.", Derrick said.
Her eyes shifted to a cupboard where the awards were arranged neatly which is not their when she came lastly.
"Oh! That . Those are actually in upstairs. But joey arranged it here, so that I could see this and get encouraged.", Derrick.
"He is thoughtful.", Amaya said took a closer look.
"Oh that one is best couple award I got for acting with Ms. Ginny. She is a very good actress.", Derrick.
"Well there is a empty space for one more award.", Amaya questioned.
"Actually that is also done by Joey. I have this dream of winning best actor award in film festival. So Joey made this space for me.", Derrick.
Amaya smiled.
"But now I have lost my confidence. I don't think I can. You know every time I win an award or get a role, some people always comment that I got through because of Smith entertainment. But this award always goes to the one with talent. I wanted to prove that I got each awards and role through my hard work. It can be done only by wining it. I have been trying for the past 3 years and now I think may be I don't have enough talent to win this.", Derrick said looking at the empty space.
"May be you haven't got any story that can help you to win the award.", Amaya.
"What are you talking about?", Derick. Amaya showed him the script.
"No, Amy. he told you to convince me for this, isn't he?", Derrick.
"Read at least for once before saying no.", Amaya.
Derrick sighed and started to read.
The script said about scenes where the mc gets to know that his adoptive father loves him a lot and he just misunderstood. He clears the misunderstanding and helps him in the company affairs. He and the fc confess their love. Everything is going smoothly. And he receives a call from his real mom relative who tells him to visit for the last time. When he goes he realize that his real mom has died because of cancer. And the drama end with the long shot of him crying and smiling at his real mom's grave with a letter in his hand.
After few minutes, "This have a sad ending. I have never had such a story with sad ending. I am not sure my fans will welcome this.".
"Derrick, You have seen Romeo and Juliet play right?", Amaya.
Derrick nodded.
"Titanic?", Amaya.
Derrick nodded again.
"Why do you think those are so famous till now? It is because of the ending. Happy ending may give you a moment of happiness that lasts only for few minutes. But a sad ending makes an imprint deep inside your heart. And you will make a deep impression inside the people hearts with this script. And this script is a mingle of sad and happy. You know Mr. wang always makes perfect things right?", Amaya.
Derrick is some how convinced.
"Okay. Now read this again. Give it a thought.", Amaya said reaching the door.
But before opening it, "Derrick, This time you are going to fill that space. When that happens throw me a huge party.", Amaya said and left.
Derrick smiled at her words.
She met Joey and told him that she had talked about it and he didn't say anything.
In the morning she got a call from Joey.
Joey, "Amy, I think we have to fly to Chicago today afternoon. It's last minute update. I am sorry to inform you like this I didn't expect it.".
Amaya sighed. "It's okay joey."
"And thanks. I don't know what did you said to Derrick. The director informed that derrick is ready to do so. The director wish to fasten the shooting before Derrick change his mind again. Thanks a lot Amy.", Joey said feeling grateful.
"It's okay. It's my job. Bye", Amaya
Amaya sighed and called Aiden.
"Aiden, I have to fly to Chicago for shooting. Do something.", Amaya.
"Do you want me to call and tell them you won't be going?", Aiden.
"No, do something to convince mom and dad. Mom won't allow me.", Amaya.
"Okay. I am also going for a business trip today I will tell them that you are coming with me.", Aiden.
"I am lying for you. You better do this right.", Aiden. She nodded.
