Seeing a jeep passing by, Arna noticed it was an elderly man so she quickly stood on the road blocking the path as she jumped, "Stop, stop, stop…"

The elderly man had to stop as she was standing between the road. He wanted to scold her but Arna pleaded, "Uncle please, please help me… please…"

​​

He waited to hear how he could help which she took the cue and quickly told him the truth, "Uncle, I love a guy and he thinks I am spoiled rotten. He wants to see me if I could survive today with this 100 bucks..." She showed him the currency as she continued, "And I should earn too. If I take a taxi, this will be over, could you please help me by dropping me at the main town? Please please..."

Arna had no idea who the man was but the man had an inkling he had seen her somewhere. And hearing her earnestly plead to get her love, he motioned his hand for her to get on the jeep.

On the way, Arna spoke to him well and asked what she could do to earn money in the town. The old man offered, "I was planning to drop all the vegetables at the market, why don't you help me sell them? The faster we finish all the vegetables, I will increase your payment, what do you say?"

Without thinking twice, Arna thanked heavens for getting the lovely old man and she thanked him, "Thank you, Uncle, so sweet of you…" She put the bill back in her pocket and asked him, "Shall I treat you to coffee after it?... Hmm, If I get more money, I will get you lunch." She giggled sheepishly making the old man laugh with her.

The old man who always dropped his vegetables to the retailer, went to the market asking Arna to wait at the jeep before he exited with two small stools, a weighing machine, and hand covers.

With Arna's help, both spread the plastic on the roadside, Arna was surprised to see how easily he was carrying the baskets of fifteen kilos at such old age before she helped and both arranged the vegetables.

Due to the hot sun, Arna voluntarily drove the jeep behind them for the shade where they sat and started their vegetable business. The old man who already knew she was Arna Morgan, the daughter of a famous couple, Aria Cooper and Alan Morgan, couldn't believe she could go any length for her love.

He was in awe looking at her shouting for selling vegetables and was smartly selling off the vegetables in the name of an offer whereas she was actually getting the price of both vegetables from one.

Many young boys naturally attracted to her so at least to check her out for long, they were trying to bargain when she was slyly sold lots of vegetables to them.

On the other end, after taking a taxi, Naira asked the driver to go near the famous multiplex or mall in the town. Looking at her sitting elegantly with an evil smile, the driver tried to speak, "Miss, are you from the city?"

Naira saw him gazing at her through the rearview mirror, he was a middle-aged man who just randomly probed her but she thought he might be planning something to do her so she haughtily responded to keep him in check, "Look at the road and drive."

The driver frowned and ignored her for the rest of fifteen minutes. Naira who saw the fare meter gulped when it reached seventy, "Are you taking me in the wrong route, or is this machine wrong?" She hissed.

The driver wanted to tell if he wanted to go around. He would take small rounds and go around as he was on a single main road. He controlled himself before saying, "The mall is two hundred meters away. Miss, if you don't have money, I suggest you walk from here."

Naira felt insulted, "You- Just drive." She ordered.

The taxi driver was mentally preparing himself to extract the charges as per meter because for him, she looked like a pretentious woman who might run away right after alighting the taxi.

He locked the child lock when he halted and checked the reading. Naira handed 100 bucks and the driver promptly unlocked the child lock of the door. He was handing her 26 back but she took 20 and proudly said while alighting the car, "Keep the change."

The driver rolled his eyes before dropping the coins to the box which had the sticker of, 'For orphanage donation.'

Naira walked to the mall and leisurely. She walked with her head high and a sweet smile. Initially, none identified her but after a few minutes, she saw people looking at her and talking.

She purposefully smiled thinking they will ask for photographs or autographs then she can ask for money but none bothered to reach her and an hour passed by just like that.

When the young man finally reached her, she smiled gracefully and he asked, "Aren't you the Stellar series female lead Naira Wood?"

That's when Naira realized she was more famous as a singer than as an actress and that's the reason none were approaching her. She looked at herself. She was in a crop top with bare shoulders and bare above her waist.

It was no big deal in the city but that was the reason people were glancing at her in the mall. However, she still responded to the man promptly, "Yes I am."

The man introduced himself and asked her out for lunch in the open restaurant that was at the corner. Thinking she won't have to spend a penny, she went with him to realize there were three more boys who were practically ogling at her.

Afraid of what they might ask if she eats with them, she quickly scurried away patting her chest. Passing by she saw a music shop where there was open karaoke.

An idea struck her mind and tried to make a deal with the shop manager. She lied to them, "Hai, I am Naira Wood, singer, and actor."

The shopkeeper identified her, "Oh yeah, you are the singer of the album Flying bird."

Naira smiled at the shopkeeper and turned to the manager who nodded at her in acknowledgment. Naira continued, "I am in a reality show and this is the camera," She pointed to the button like a camera on her top that made the manager and the other two very conscious.
