Jackson's Point Of View

Keep me close to you at all times, please. It's the only loyalty you've shown in your professional life. This sex tape will be released on my Instagram TV account if you leave me.

"Oh, God!" I screamed as I awoke from my nightmare.

It's a wonder I even dreamed about it.

Looking around, I could see that I was the only one there, along with my bed. I got out of bed at four in the morning when the clock started ticking. Merely washing my face, I examined myself in the mirror. My first sexual encounter with a female came to mind... This is a young woman. What the hell? To what extent was this behavior considered benevolent?

For stimulation, I'm sitting on my bed again with my cell phone in hand. I went on the internet and looked for a meme to share with others. People often turn to memes when they are feeling down or hopeless. Everyone knows this is a joke. The truth is, however, that it is true. This is true even if the meme contains NSFW content.

I didn't realize that I had been searching for a meme for over an hour before I realized it. Wow, I have a mind that is truly astounding...

At five in the morning, I'm getting ready to pray. My butler came to prepare my breakfast after I finished praying.

Linda, our only female butler, was called upon to prepare my breakfast.

"Yes, master," she replied.

Kimchi Fried Rice with Butter on Top is my favorite breakfast.

I took a bite of my 'fancy' breakfast and said, "Um, yum..."

"This is the best breakfast I've ever had," I say as I eat my breakfast.

In the morning, as I was getting ready for school, my parents emerged from their bedroom.

With his yawning, Father asked me, "Oh, you're prepared?"

"Father. Now that I've placed my taxi order online, I'm ready to go," I said as I pick my cell phone, and ordered a taxi on the app.

Having just finished ordering a taxi online on my cell phone, I said goodbye and waved goodbye to them.

I have a clear head when I go to class. Next, I saw Holly sitting on a bench in the bench school when I arrived at school.

How long has she been sitting at that bench?

I walked up to her and said, "Hey, Holly."

She turned to me and said, "Hello, Jack. I didn't see you there, and by the way, good morning."

"Good morning."

Her bag was still on when I noticed her. At least she couldn't get into the classroom yet because it was so early.

"Sit down Jack. Are you sure you want to stand there like that? Come sit with me here", Holly smiles at me and stares at me intently.

"I'm sorry," I said as I began to get up and sit next to her.

The leaves fall from its tree as a result of a strong wind blowing.

Author's Point Of View

Jackson sits next to Holly, who is unsure of what to talk about in the morning.

"Can I ask something, Jack?", The conversation was started by Holly.

"Sure."

"You had a sexual encounter with Miss Fantasia. What did you think of the experience?", Holly asked Jackson.

"Isn't that a little odd, I suppose?"

"Odd, huh?"

"Yeah, it's a little odd."

He wanted to ask Holly something, but he was unsure what to say.

"Do you have a problem, Holly?", Holly was asked a question by Jackson.

In response, Holly said to Jackson, who had no prior knowledge of her life: "I cannot tell you much about who I am as a person."

In response to her response, Jackson nodded his head.

"Heaven is all I can say."

Heaven? – Jackson.

"Heaven, what do you mean by this? Someone in your family has died, is that true?", Holly was brought this up by Jackson.

It made Jackson wonder what she meant because she said "heaven." Holly shook her head. Jackson then turned his gaze back to the leaf that had fallen to the ground and studied it. Moments like the 'leaf' moment remind him of the first time he saw Maria.

First day of the new year 2009 in Bali (Before Jackson got famous).

Jackson's cousin and his fiancée were getting married in Bali at a large venue. The wedding ceremony was full of guests and fascinating. His family and friends are gathered around him as he speaks. "Can I walk around the venue?" He asked his parents.

Jackson's parents granted his wish, and he went for a walk around the venue afterward. A walk is his first choice of refreshment. But, his real motive is to avoid conversing with his mother's guests, who are his friends. He is relieved that he can 'escape' from the venue where he is currently attending.

An argument between a couple on some nearby beaches attracted his attention. Jackson recognized one of the couples as Maria Fantasia, a well-known director. He stands across from them and listens to what they have to say about each other's argument.

"What the heck is going on here? Why you asked me to come here, you didn't say about this." She was the one who sparked the discussion.

"After attending the party that my boss organized, I came here to meet you, as you may know."

"Alright, so what?"

"Maria, I don't want you in my life anymore."

She has no idea what her boyfriend is trying to say.

"I humbly ask your forgiveness."

"Maria, I don't want you in my life any longer. You're nothing more than a burden to society."

Even though many leaves fell on the ground that night, the wind was rough. Maria's hair was blowing in the wind as she stood in the garden. Then, Maria walked up to Larry and kissed him. In order to warn her, however, he slams Maria's body against a coconut tree.

"Are you kidding me right now?!" she asked in dismay.

"No."

SLAP

Well, that's not good at all. - Jackson.

Larry then abandons Maria on the beach, leaving her to her own devices. Maria began to cry at that point. Her tears dried as she turned away from Larry and saw Jackson in the bush.

"You're sure you saw that, am I right?"

Jackson nodded in agreement as he replied. When Larry dumped Maria in front of a child, she couldn't hold back her tears any longer. He saw a famous director cry in front of him for the first time. Jackson hugs Maria and tells her to breathe if she wants to forget the man who dumped her.

She stared at Jackson's face, her mind blown by what he had just said "Does this mean that I'm familiar with you? As a senior citizen, how do you speak in that manner? It's unusual to hear a child like you speak in such a manner."

"It's true that you don't know me, but I do. Maria Fantasia, you are a well-known director. As for me, I'm named Jaksen Frimantyo, by the way. Jackson is a name that you can use to refer to me."

"What was your obsession in the future?" she asks, staring at Jackson.

Jackson says, "I want to be an actor."

In Maria's mind, the child she met was her only hope, just as God had sent her a dream. She gives Jackson a hug and asks him to meet his parents, which he readily accepts. Affirming his offer, he took her to meet his family. Jackson's parents were pleased with her attitude after meeting her.

Jackson's father asks her, "Do you want to make our son a superstar?"

"Yes, I will introduce him to Fantasy Corporation, an agency that I recently founded. As a result of this young man's words, I'd like to introduce him to the entertainment industry."

Jackson nods enthusiastically.

"I want to be an actor or a singer, father. Please let me try it out", As Jackson cries out in desperation to his father, the latter agrees.

Maria and Jackson are both looking at Jackson's parents with a sigh on their faces "You're welcome to become an actor. The least you can do is to strike a balance between your career and your education. Have you gotten the point?"

"Yes, father."

Jackson and Maria made their first contact at that time. Maria then recruits him to work as a scout for her company Fantasy Corporation. In addition to his work as an actor, Jackson also attends school. Jackson was an unknown actor at his high school.

Jackson initially feels resentful after experiencing this. His friends, on the other hand, helped him along the way to becoming an actor. Because of his role as an opportunistic rascal who fell in love with the daughter of a president, he became famous. He won numerous awards for his performance in the role.

In addition, he makes friends at school and at the agency, where he works. Aside from that, his anxiety disorder was concealed. During middle school, his mother told him about his anxiety. After a while, he realized that he had to learn more about his anxiety.

Jackson, on the other hand, visited Maria's house in the late afternoon one day. As a result, Jackson was invited to Maria's pregnancy party. Even though she had been dumped by her lover, Maria had decided to throw a party. Jackson was baffled as to why. Maria and her lover reconciled for a month after her lover was arrested, he knows.

"Thank you, Director Maria, for inviting me to come here."

"You're welcome."

I was asked about her pregnancy, "How long have you been pregnant?"

She said as she touched her tummy, "Well, it's already about 11 months."

"What is the gender? How well do you know about it?"

"This one's a girl", she said, as she smiled at him.

"Wow, that's really outstanding. Do you know what your daughter's name will be?"

She replied: "Emma is here. Yeah, Emma."

"Emma… The name is so gorgeous and delightful."

"Jackson, thank you. Oh, yeah... Please check my room for my phone. I forgot to take it with me when I was out."

"Of course, where is your room?" he asked.

"The door that opens on its own," she wrote.

Jackson found Maria's phone after walking through an open door. It was then that he noticed a red light in Maria's room. His first impression upon entering the room was a centipede of photos. He trembled when he realized that he was in the photograph.

As a result, the Director has a photograph of me on his computer system. A single centipede-like shape emerged from these photos, however. That's a little out of the ordinary. - Jackson.

He went through all of Director Maria's photographs. In the red room, thousands of photographs were tangled together. For whatever reason, Jackson kept one of the photos as evidence or a blackmail tool.

A photo he took shows him slipping the device into his jeans when he returns to Maria's living room with Maria's phone in hand. Tea and candies were waiting for them when Director Maria returned from her break in the filming. A sweet smile, which Jackson imagines to be a busted smile, greets her as she places the tea on the table. Director Maria's Pregnancy Party was the topic of conversation.

As a result, he asked, "When will you be holding this party?"

"When your glory days are over."

"What?"

"It's all in joke, man. Don't be such a serious guy, come on." She was giggling so hard that she was crying.

I don't find that funny at all. - Jackson annoyed by her jokes.

Please let me know why she is keeping my photograph... - Jackson.

A photograph of Jackson and the red room caught his eye.

(End of past.)

~~~

The present.

It took Holly to break Jackson's attention from the leaf.

"Jack! It was time to get up, the keeper had opened the classroom door. As soon as possible, let's head to the classroom." Jackson was stung by Holly's fingers.

"Let's get to the class, shall we?"

Jackson turned around and stared at the leaf that had been blown away by the wind in the rearview mirror.
