Glorious Life
Bergen

H A P P Y R E A D I N G

Europe May 2016

Bergen is the second largest city in Norway, a city with a lot of charm and a small town atmosphere that is comfortable to live in. In addition, the population is patriotic, has many sides of history and cultural traditions that really deserve appreciation.

At first I didn't know why I had to go to Bergen to shoot a magazine — I thought, why go all the way to Bergen just for shooting when in the United States, especially California, there are many places and good photo spots but now I know the reason.

I am a brand ambassador for Youth Magazine, I am required to be able to describe the youth itself and in Bergen ten percent of the population are students, young people who have many amazing sides, he said, thanks to them Bergen became a city with a fresh and youthful atmosphere.

Ah yes, it seems I forgot to introduce myself, I am Florenzee Gauri, one of the many Hollywood artists who dream of being rich and famous, he said, in my debut I was lucky enough to collaborate with Justin Bieber thanks to the man my career shot in the negative and also positive sense of course.

Justin's popularity need not be doubted because the man is the full controller of the music world in Hollywood and do not forget the row of scandals that follow his career. Can you say I hitchhiked fame and relied on connections? It's up to you to interpret, but to me I'm trying so hard to be in my position right now.

“Thank you guys for working hard!”

I smiled back at the shooting staff and slightly bowed in their honor, Sara Emils and some of the company staff moved towards me to attach the parka on my shoulders. By the way Sara is my most brash assistant I can't fire her because she has a good performance.

“Everything's done, right?” my many.

“Yes your schedule ends today, you seriously want to ride cruise.”

Regarding Cruise, which is meant by Sara, after becoming a Hollywood celebrity who has a myriad of busy schedules and often travels around the world to work, I always take the time to heal, usually I ride a short cruise, doing camping or just taking a walk alone and coincidentally in Bergen there is a short ferry schedule and of course I will not waste this precious opportunity.

“Be so, you've already prepared it, right?” I am writing suspiciously.

Sara sighed before replying, “Already, today you flew straight to Stockholm okay. Wait a minute I'm almost done.”

I called my head a sign of understanding, today the air in Flyen was quite cold especially at night and unfortunately I was still on Mount Flyen waiting for Sara to tidy things up, parka given my assistant no use at all because of the fairly thin outfit I used for the photo shoot today.

“Sara can I get off first? I'm cold.”

Sara who is busy cleaning the equipment turns and nods, “Oke then I will call Michael this ticket you know how to ride the cable train?.”

I played my eyes lazy, but I wasn't that stupid because he was my assistant since debut he underestimated me maybe Sara thought I was a sixteen-year-old who didn't know anything, “Iya tau!” reply cuek then grabbed the ticket and passed from before him to the cable train the only transportation to go up and down Mount Flyen, Mount Flyen, actually there is another way to get down that is by walking through a track that is prepared for people who want to climb but of course I do not want to walk.

I ran a little when the door of the cable train was about to close, I must not miss because I do not want to wait for the next cable train if waiting for the next one it will take time even though I want to quickly get to the bottom because I can not stand the cold and the wind it was getting faster at Mount Flyen.

Oh shit!

I almost toppled forward so hurriedly entered the cable train. However, before my body touched the floor there was another hand that was reflexively holding me back from falling over, “Woahh.”

I managed to get in and stand straight without toppling over before the door was completely shut thanks to the help of an Asian man standing by the door. After a few seconds passed and the cable train began to run I managed to stand in balance.

“Are you okay?” the Asian man asked with an accent that was so stiff in one guess I could guess that he was not a native English.

I show my big smile like a fool while shaking my hand, “I am fine thanks, you save me .. thank you.”

I close my body to the corner, though, throwing a look out did not know what to do because it turned out I only realized if my phone battery ran out and I was alone in a boisterous cable train – how sad I was, how sad I was, kan –

Since there was no work I adopted a group of Asians some of them were holding cameras, some of the others spoke in an excruciating tone and a few moments later I saw the man in the hat begin to rap in a language I did not understand, there are those who laugh loudly there are only smiles of shame and there are also those who direct the camera phone to record the incident. They look so happy to make me so envious, if I could laugh like that I groaned as if I realized the sad rate of myself increased to many times.

I don't have such exciting friends in Hollywood – except Ariana, my only friend and soloist who debuted in the same year as me – most of my acquaintances in the same industry will only gather to compete for wealth, he said, their lifestyle and career is not for joking and laughing like this.

After I decided to pursue my dream of becoming a celebrity there was a price I had to pay to be in Hollywood circles, sacrificing almost my entire life to pretend and lose my ‘emotional’ life.

“Hi I am Jayke,” my daydreams are gone I blinked when the man who helped me earlier was suddenly near me again reaching out his hand with a sweet smile. Maybe he saw my pitiful-looking self so he decided to approach me.

“Oh hi Jayke, I am Florenzee Gauri,” I welcome his hand with a thin smile. It was also strange because he suddenly invited me to chat when he had previously kept his distance from me after helping me earlier.

“I Love your song ‘a little braver’.”

I was surprised to not expect at once touched by someone who recognized me, because his words I became more concerned about the man named Jayke, who was, all I can conclude is Jayke is handsome with round eyes and rabbit teeth there is a small mole under his lips he smiled very sweetly, the warm aura of the man made me feel the same warmth.

“Aww thank you Jayke.”

Jayke nodded with a big smile looking happy once I said his name. I also smiled widely contracted because of the positive aura he had.

“Ijeongwa dongil”1

“Ha?”

Jayke shook his head as he put on a smile, making me even more confused by the meaning of his words. He's not making fun of me, is he?.

“Are u doing vlog?” many enthusiast.

I feel like I have to develop a conversation with Jayke, I don't want to be stamped badly by this guy in front of me anyway he says like my song means he's my fan right?.

“Yes.”

We didn't make a sound a while later because I didn't know what to respond to because I was confused, too, I'm used to just talking if necessary and dislike making small talk and seem to develop cross-language conversations with Jayke a little difficult.

Finally the awkwardness ended when the Cable train we were riding stopped at the station, before I stepped my foot out the man called me once again, “Florenzee...” I turned back looking at him waiting for the next man to say, “Please remember me again, I am Jayke Jeon from LAUVOX.”

Again..

I raised my eyebrows not understanding the word 'again' that he slipped between his words. Choosing not to think about it I smiled slightly then waved my hand as a farewell, as Michael had already greeted me and rattled me to get out of the cable train immediately.
