DOWN TO THE DREAM'S PATH

"NAN YOU DID IT!!"

Screamed Veo while running in the corridor.

"Wow easy there. What's up?"

Asked Nan.

"Your script accepted! And of all places, you're the first!!"

Veo said excitedly.

"What?" Nan didn't believe it at first. "Veo, If you're joking I'm seriously gonna kill you"

"Why would I joke for something like this?" Answered Veo with a frowned face.

Nan is in shock. She did want to be the first winner, but she didn't expect she actually get it.

"What are you waiting for?! Check your e-mail, there's must be some news for you!"

Nan is picking up her phone from her bag and planning to open her e-mail. But, Prof. Fon texted her first tell her to meet her at the lecturer's office.

"Veo, Prof. Fon called for me. I should go there now."

"It must be related to the contest. Well, go right now. I'll wait at the usual place"

"Kay"

*****

Nan is entering Prof. Fon's Room.

"Hello, Good afternoon Prof.."

"Oh, Nan I've been expecting you. Sit down, please"

"Yes, Prof"

Nan sits down. She felt a bit uneasy, she didn't know why and started clicking her hand. Prof. Fon recognized that and approach Nan carefully, she started to talk with a soft voice.

"Nan.."

Nan's gaze turned to Prof. Fon and she said.

"I am sure you're both surprised and scared because of the announcement, but I will help you whenever you need me, okay? Do not stress out, there are a lot of fun things that you can enjoy during the process."

As she said that, Nan is starting to calm down. She smiled and bowed her head a bit, a sign of "thank you". Prof. Fon is also smiled, then she encourages her.

"Come on, I know you're better than this. You have my full support."

"Thank you, Prof. Fon"

"Okay. Now, you've calmed down. I'm gonna talk about the competition and other conditions that you'll receive in the near future, Okay?"

"Okay, Prof. Fon"

"Ok. First, congratulation on your achievement, Nan. Your script, 'Artificial Boyfriend' has a unique thing that portrays several kinds of love. This sure is a great story for drama series. Well.. then you'll attend an event that will present the winner of this competition and also a promotion as a newbie director. The organizer will contact you to tell more about those events. Second, we will meet the sponsor of this competition and there will be an expert that will guide you through the process of the production."

Nan gasped when she mentions the second event.

"I know you're surprised, how fast this is arranged. It was a request from the sponsor and this is why I called you alone, not with the other runner up."

Prof. Fon said.

"This is actually something that I really wanted but, I don't expect it would be in this kind of pace. everything feels new to me and somehow I need to fit in as soon as possible."

Explained Nan.

"Okay, I understand. Take your time, Nan. You can leave now."

"Thank you, Prof.."

*****

Nan comes out of Prof's office and heading to Veo. Nan see Veo is sitting on a bench while scrolling his phone. She's sitting beside him and ask.

"What are you doing?"

"I'm reading comics. So, how is your meeting with Prof.?"

"..."

Nan thinks for a second. Then she's down into an option and asks Veo.

"Veo, as this project was going, I think I'll need you to be around. I will consult this with Prof. I want to bring you to my team."

Veo lifted his eyebrow and asked.

"Why??"

"Everything seems new to me. I need you to be by my side."

"..."

Veo didn't reply at first. He looks closely into Nan's eye and judging for her sight, she seems scared, with a bit of hesitation. Veo knows this will not be easy for her and he said.

"Anything for my best friend."

Veo hugs Nan and patted her back, saying.

"Everything is gonna be okay, I'm here."

Receiving a warm and comforting hug from Veo. Nan is a bit embarrassed and giggles, recalling that she used to have a crush on Veo. There's nothing left of those feelings, but Nan is grateful that Veo is here for her as her best friend.

*****

The day after tomorrow is the day of the meeting with the sponsor and the production team. Nan is in her most nervous stage. She had to present her script in front of great people.
