Rohan was oblivious to your bizarre choice in career. You never spoke of it, and he had never asked. You don’t even need a job at this point since your boyfriend basically was rolling in cash. He would barely even let you pay for anything anymore.
Despite that though, you kept working. your career was your passion, but you kept in in secret from Rohan. He’d judge you.
Your workplace was magical, filled with animals of all sorts, contortionist, magicians, and all sorts of wacky people. You of course were a clown.
Being in your makeup just makes you feel invincible, incredible, and confident, and watching the children’s faces light up in amazement at your tricks filled you with joy each day.
It was about 2 hours until your next performance, and you heard a friend of yours, Kira call your name.
You saw him run in the room in a panic. “I, the man of hands cannot perform today, as my hands have been stolen!”
You gasped. You knew Kira couldn’t put on a show without his hands. “What’re we going to do?” You asked him desperately.
“Well thankfully” he began “We have found another clown, but, I don’t know if he can put on a show like us.”
The both of you worried for the temporary clown. How would he do in front of the big crowd?
It was finally time for the show. You hadn’t seen the mysterious new clown yet, however, you had no time to dilly dally and look for him. You had to do what you love. You had to do your passion. You had to be a clown.
You juggled, you flipped and you even did the tightrope across the whole colosseum sized room. How amazing it felt to put on such a show! When your performance segment ended, another clown’s name was announced.
He gracefully hopped on his Pogo stick to the center of the stage. After he did a few flips on his brightly colored jumping instrument, he set it aside.
Pink Pogo was amazing. He played the character of a eccentric man who could do amazing things, but always ended up making a fool out of himself trying to show everyone else what he could do. His character made for some great comedy, yet not only was his show hysterical, it was mesmerizing.
Pogo left the spotlight on a unicycle. When you saw him walk by, you immediately greeted him. “Good day, Pink Pogo! You were great today!”
Despite your best efforts at getting him to talk, he kept the show going on, keeping his non-verbal persona up. You wondered if you’d ever see his enchanting acts again after that day.
You practiced after the show, so you had come home late to Rohan watching Keeping Up With The Kardashians, wrapped in blankets on the couch at 1AM.
Although he was aware you had entered, he didn’t pause the show. You gave an annoyed sigh. “I’m home.” You said with a loud voice, trying to get his attention. He paused the show.
“What are you doing that requires you to be out so late? You know I’m only still awake because I was waiting for you to get here.”
You knew he was lying, so his remark didn’t bother you. Rather than arguing, you sat next to him on the couch and the two of you fell asleep as Kim cried about losing her 75,000$ earrings.
you woke up and looked at the clock. ‘OH GOD OH FUCK’ is what went through your head as you realized you had another performance to do in 30 minutes.
Rohan was still asleep, so you slowly moved away from him being careful not to wake him up.
Knowing you wouldn’t have anytime to get your look together in the dressing room, you began putting on your clown makeup in the comfort of the bathroom. Finally, when you put on your red nose, you looked and saw Rohan, crossing his arms in front of the door.
“It’s not what it looks like! I swear I’m not a clown I just-“ you tried to think of an excuse, but before you could, you noticed Rohan smiling.
“I don’t mind it at all.” He said with a smug face. “After all, I’m one too.”
He then revealed the a Pink Pogo stick that he held behind his back.
He took your shoulders in his hands and pulled you close. “And you’re not just a clown, you’re the whole circus. My whole circus.”
You were blushing and couldn’t find the right words to say. He grabbed your hand. “Let’s go, we can’t be late to our show”
