4 Pearl In The Mud part 1

The Harot , Jamaci Country

"Dude, hurry up or else we are going to miss the show " said a youngster to his companion with a worry face.

"Don't worry Ron, Show will not start any time sooner" Rages replied as he crawled out from his bed and put on his clothes.He was a handsome man with ink like eyes, well build body ,sharp featured , tall and looks that could make any men to envy over him.

This is the first time , a drama has been organized in the Soyari city.It was only possible because one of the minister in Kings cabin, Honorable Minister Samuel personally request Cloud Entertainment agency. People all over the city went crazy when Cloud Entertainment announced that star of the show would be 'Lissana' The beauty queen of Jamaci Country.

Due to limited number of seats available for show, Cloud Entertainment decided to sell tickets only to the elites of the city.Tickets for the show sold out in lighting fast speed, but Ron was able to coax his employer to get him two tickets, but he paid was thrice the original cost.

Ron frowned "Rages, Do you believe that I would have offered you the ticket if it wasn't for Stella's last minute cancellation?"

"I know she ditched you to watch the show with that womanizer Krizo. You should be happy that I am willing to pay one third of the original cost for the ticket and I am paying this only because I consider you as my true friend" buttered Rages while accompanying Ron to the plaza.

Rages always wanted to spend some time for entertainment,but he was too busy with his job in

Light global company . Though, pay was low compared to the work he have to put in ,he did his job sincerely and delicately because he couldn't find another job. He used to curse himself for his inability to find more suitable job and make more money.

Once reaching plaza Ron and Rages took two empty seats in the last before row.Rages was flabbergasted by the crowd that have gathered in the plaza.Even though Soyari was a second tier city , every couple of month some sort of entertainment was organized by the local entertainment companies. So it was frightening for him to see so much people gathered to watch the Drama today.

The Plaza was decorated with red and white roses and the stage in the middle was covered with multiple light globes of different colors.The stage was levitated five meters above the ground using

gravity plates. There was a special path for VIPs to walk to the front of the stage from the entrance,

path was filled with a mild blue and light purple light globes on both the sides.

Rages saw Honorable Minster Samuel with his family in the front row and elites whose faces he have seen only in the newspaper and magazines occupying the entire first and the second row from the stage. There were newspaper agents and the broadcast company agents taking the third row.

In all his sixteen years of life he hasn't seen or heard of any event as popular as this, thinking about this he turned towards Ron.

"So many people just to watch a drama!! Is there any other event taking place in the plaza?" he exclaimed

"Dude, you must be kidding me. If it is just a drama I am sure it wouldn't have exaggerated this much,but it is the drama leaded by the beauty queen Lissana. Even though, dramas are famous ,the news regarding the lead actors in drama is usually subjugated by the entertainment companies.

Pictures of the lead roles are prohibited to publish by the entertainment companies. It is a way followed by the entertainment companies to kindle the curiosity of the people which in turn rises there profit level." Ron explained enthusiastically.

Rages who was ignorant to the entertainment industry ,listened to the explanation given by Ron clammily.He understood that most of the people in the crowd have came here because of the curiosity to see the beauty queen.Moreover, he applaud the entertainment companies strategy to make money and took note of this in his mind . He Understood that Entertainment companies have

controlled news provided by agencies by only allowing them to write about her acting skills and looks.This spread the fame of the Lissana across the country while stimulating men to purchase ticket so they could enjoy the beauty and women to compare themselves to the beauty queen.

"How long is it going to take before the show starts? "Rages asked Ron because he was bored from waiting.

"With all the VIPs present here, I doubt they will go straight to the drama without coaxing.

With considering the introduction and welcome speech ,I can estimate that drama will not start for next half an hour ." Ron replied without turning his sight from the stage.

Rages decided to attend his nature's call before the start of drama and requested Ron to safeguard his seat for him.Then he asked one of the helpers organised by the plaza to give him the directions towards the Toilet. He started walking towards toilet with provided direction. It was located three hundred meters away from the plaza. While being at his task he was thinking about money made by

this single drama and the famed Lissana.

Once completing his task ,Rages decided to buy few snack for himself and Ron on his way back to the plaza. He asked around for directions for the food stall and found that plaza has allowed only the authorized food seller to set up the stalls and allocated a place with in the plaza.So he needs to reach plaza to get to the food stall location.

After losing some time in finding the food stall ,he looked over the stall and brought a bucket full of popcorn .There were lot of new kind of food items displayed in the stalls . Being a foodie he was unable to control is urge to try those food .This was a biggest weakness of Rages when it comes to the food he losses to his urge . Cheating himself by saying that those introductory speech will not end with in half an hour ,he decided to taste the delicacy that were available in front of his eyes.
