NAME

"You have a fever. How many times have I told you to not go and get drenched like that in the rain!" I sneeze slightly and smile cheekily while looking at worried and slightly agitated Nano. Keeping her hand on my forehead she sighs heavily. I look at her with my puppy eyes and a slight pout, trying to reduce her anger level. But she glares at me even more. I take her hands and pull her to sit next to me on the bed.

"Don't worry Nano. I am really ok. It's just a slight fever alright? It will be gone in a few hours I am sure. Now, let me rest for a few more hours cuz Anna will be coming soon to ruin my peace." Nano slightly chuckles and softly hits my forehead as I smile. She leans forward and gives me a soft kiss on my forehead, then gets up and sets the covers above me.

"Take rest. I hope the medicines will work soon. If you will not be ok when Anna comes, I won't let you go."

"Sorry nano. But I will have to go either way." She glares at me as I giggle.

"How can you be this childish when down with a high fever??" I chuckle but then close my eyes as I feel pain in my body. Nano sees it as she turns off the lights and closes the door after leaving me to rest.

"I can believe everything. I totally can that you bathed in winter rain for an hour and got sick." Anna says gazing at me keenly as I gulp a little.

"Come on. Stop scolding me like Nano and help me get ready! Producer Kim will go raging mad if I won't be at the show on time!" Anna nods and gets my outfit ready. She is my stylist, my manager, and even my makeup artist. And definitely the only friend. "Here. Now hurry up and get dressed so I do the rest." I nod and go to my bathroom to change.

"Woah....perfect." Anna compliments me as I smile and look at myself in the long-dressing mirror. A black mini chiffon skirt with a bloody red shoulder cut full sleeves top tucked in it. As usual, I don't apply makeup today either. What is the need? No one is going to see my face anyway. Anna curls my natural brown-blonde hair slightly. My hair reaches my waist, and I am thinking of getting a new haircut, maybe above my shoulder. Wearing black short heel boots, I look at Anna as she hands me a black cap and mask. Wearing it I look in the mirror to see myself and my face can't be seen.... perfect.

"Let's go." I nod, take my handbag, and wear my trench coat as we both leave my apartment.

...

At The Show.

"Well, well, now that we finally have the Masked Singer with us, I am still in a daze. How is this possible that I am sitting with her?! And look at her I mean! What a beauty even though I can't see her face really, but her perfect long hair! And her figure! I must have done some great work in past life that I am meeting you."

I laugh at the exaggeration of Jimmy who is tonight's host. Yes, I am at the Jimmy Fallon show. Kim is definitely going to regret sending me here if I get food poisoning or an unexpected surprise as every guest does. I hate surprises.

"It's not like I am an angel, Jimmy. You are literally being too obvious that it's all scripted." I say as everyone laughs and Jimmy chuckles. 

"But seriously what should I call you? Masked singer? Isn't it too formal? I hate formalities." I chuckle and before I can say something a fan says from the crowd

"Her stage name is Kay! Call her Kay Jimmy!" 

"Oh is it.....that's pretty cool. Does it mean your real name starts from the letter K?" I shake my head.

"Not at all. But I will tell you something informative so open your ears." I say dramatically as Jimmy plays along with his dramatic facial expressions.

"What is it...my ears are always open for spicy topics; you know perks of being a famous American TV host."

"Well, the letter with which my name starts is really near K." Everyone makes a hooting noise even Jimmy.

"Now this is the most informative thing ever!" I laugh.

And the rest of the show goes pretty well. No surprises and food poisoning gladly.

....

"God, I am so damn tired." I groan just before I plop myself on my soft bed. I love my bed the most.

"I watched the show. It was amazing sweetie. Good job!" I smile and sit up hearing Nano. I open my arms as she comes and hugs me. I don't know why, but her hug comforts me just like my mother's. She kisses my temple and pats my back.

"Proud of your hard work hon. And why are you late?" I part from the hug as she sits in front of me.

"Well, after the show, Kim called me to the studio unexpectedly. It was something important about the future project with Sam. The meeting got pretty long." She nods understanding.

"Well, first take a bath hmm. I have made the bathtub ready for you and have kept your pajamas there too, so go and freshen yourself." I nod with a smile and get up to go to the bathroom after saying. " You are the best nano!"

...

"I wish you were here." I miss her like always. How can I forget her? She is the only reason I am doing all this. It's all for her. She was my best friend. Tears escape my eyes remembering all our memories. Releasing a deep sigh, I start to work on the song for which I am going to collaborate with Sam. I look at the song written in front of me and there is nothing I can add more to this beautiful song. It's perfect the way it is. Also, Kim has approved of it too, like always. This is one of the reasons she chose me. She said I have amazing songwriting skills. But only if she knew the truth. If she knew these songs are not just songs, these are feelings, these are emotions and memories. Taking a deep breath, I switch off the lamp and turn to my right as I go to my deep slumber after repeating the usual things in my mind....

No one will ever know my name. Not even Anna or Nano. It's the least I can do for her. To never reveal my real name or my face.
