"Hey Mira, I heard you broke up with that actor. I thought things are going great with the both of you?" I smiled at Claren as I put on my skirt. Kakatapos lang kasi ng magazine shoot namin. Isa siyang Aussie na kapwa ko model sa agency na pinapasukan ko.

I've been working on this agency for three years and I've been to different countries to attend runways and magazine shoots. Nung una hesitant ako sa pag-model but when Nasci-a latin word for 'native' which I named my jewellery business-started to boom because of it, I saw the happy faces of those people who makes my jewellery, it made me love my job.

Being an international model made people admire my fashion at kasama palagi sa outfit ko ang products namin. That's when it started to be recognized. Hanggang sa ginawa naming parte ng online shop ang Nasci and now our jewellries are delivered worldwide.

"I've dated him for quite a while now. I got bored." Napatigil siya sa pag retouch ng lipstick niya. She raised an eyebrow at me at um

    "WHAT THE HELL?!" Hindi ko mapigilan ang mapasigaw dahil sa nakikita ko ngayon sa social media. I woke up with my phone ringing because of my manager calling, telling me she's on her way to my apartment and asking me about an issue. Wala pa akong clue nung una, but when she mentioned Sage Vasquez I immediately googled myself and voila, I saw what she was referring.I opened and read one of the link titled, Miranda Crivelli's new boyfriend after a week of break upPinaka-unang nakita ko ay ang picture namin ni Sage. He was holding my wrist at nakangiti habang nakatingin ako sa kanya. Kung titignan nga naman talaga mukha kaming close dito sa picture. Pero sa picture lang to! Gosh this is stressing me out. Huminga ako ng malalim at kinalma ang sarili ko bago binasa ang mga nakasulat sa article.It has only been a week after calling it quits with previous boyfriend-Sean Termill-Mira Crivelli reportedly has a new victim of love, a 25-year-old Filipino band vocalist.The model-actress was s

    "Mira pangalawang beses na yan na may nang bato sayo! Wag mo akong iniirap irapan diyan nakuuuu."Nandito kami ngayon sa isang Cafe at kanina lang ay kausap namin si Jaqie na agad ding umalis dahil may gagawin pa daw siya. I really missed hanging out with the both of them. The last time na nakita ko si Julian ay nung nanganak siya kay Tori. With Jaqie naman it was when she was wasted. Wasted as in ang pangit niya sa sobrang pagka broken hearted. I was broken-hearted din naman that time pero hindi ko naman pinabayaan ang itsura ko kagaya niya na mukhang hindi na naliligo."It's just a crumpled paper Julian. Wag ka ngang mag overreact diyan." Alam kong concerned lang si Jules pero hindi ko naman pwedeng ipakita sa kanya na natatakot din ako sa mga death threats na nakukuha ko from haters. Besides, alam kong bibigyan nila ako ng body guards kapag nalaman nila. I hate body guards kaya naman mas lalo kong itinago ang papel na ibinato sa akin."Sigurado ka ba na pupunta ka pa ng mall?

    "That's it Mira. We're getting you a body guard." I groaned as I looked at Kuya Demitri. Tumingin ako kay Julian para humingi ng tulong at pigilan si Kuya pero pero nginisihan niya lang ako at nagkukunwari na busy kay Tori."But Kuya natural lang naman iyon. Of course I'm a celebrity." I still tried to convince him. Tinaasan niya lang ako ng kilay. "Hindi ko na kailangan ng body guard, I can protect myself.""No you can't." He said sternly."Ni hindi ka nga marunong ng self defense." Tinignan ko ng masama si Jules na sumasabat pa sa usapan namin ni kuya. She just gestured a peace sign and I rolled my eyes at her."I will hire a body guard for you. Pati si mama pinag aalala mo." Mom is having a vacation with her friends and they are traveling on a cruise. Hindi ko alam na makakarating pa ang balita na iyon sa kanya.That incident made it to international showbiz news because duh, I'm international. Nalaman ko din na dahil sa nangyari ay hindi natapos ang mall tour nila Sage dahil bigla

    Tahimik kami pareho ni Enrique habang nasa sasakyan. He's driving while I'm in the back seat. Wala na din naman akong nagawa dahil Kuya won't let me go unless kasama ko si Enrique. Besides, ngayon lang naman ito sabi nila ni Julian."Can you turn on the radio?" Gustong gusto ko kasi ang nakikinig ng radyo habang nasa sasakyan kaso nahiya lang ako kanina. Hindi lang ako nakatiis dahil ang tahimik at super traffic pa.Ikaw pa rin pala ang hanap-hanap parap-papNa kahit magpanggap 'di matatago na ang 'yong yakapAng hanap-hanap parap-pap-pap'Di nagbabago ikaw ang hanap-hanapNanlaki ang mata ko?

    "Wait lang, someone's calling." I excused myself at naglakad palabas dahil masiyadong maingay at hindi ko maririnig kapag sinagot ko ang tawag ni kuya Demitri. Lumingon ako sa table namin at ngumiti, I Sage looking at me so I smiled at him. Ang saya nila kasama ng mga kabanda niya."Where the hell are you Mira?" Bungad sa akin ni kuya ng sagutin ko ang tawag niya."Nandito ako sa isang bistro-""Well you should've fucking texted us. You made us all worry!" Narinig ko si Julian sa na sinasabihan siya na mag relax lang.Kumunot ang noo ko, what's wrong with them? Maaga pa naman- I looked at my watch at natampa ko ang noo ko nang makita kung anong oras na. It's already midnight. I've been gone for almost four hours. Kaya naman pala ganito nalang ang galit ni kuya."I'm sorry kuya. I've lost track of the time." I heard him sigh."Enrique has been looking for you. Kanina ka pa niya hinahanap. You should've told him where you're going. Nag aalala siya-""Shut up kuya. Why would he worry abo

    Nagulat ako sa ginawa niya. I didn't even move a muscle when Enrique hugged me kasi feeling ko tumigil sa pag function ang utak ko.Then he let go of me. He sighed while looking at my face and then binitawan na niya ako. He turned his back on me and walked away to his car and drove off."What.. just.. happened?" Nakatulala parin ako sa papalayong sasakyan ni Enrique."That doesn't look like a one sided love to me." Tumalikod ako at hinarap si Sage. He's leaning against the hood of his car with his arms crossed over his chest. Then he smirked at me. "So all this time, you lied to me?""Hindi nga! I was shocked as well." Inis na sabi ko. Kanina pa kasi ako binibiro ni Sage na nagsinungaling ako about my one sided love issue. I drank my second shot of the Blue labelled JW that I saw in my kuya's cellar. Tinignan ko siya nang hindi pa rin siya umiinom. "Why are you not taking your shot?""Sigurado ka ba na iinumin natin itong isa sa mamahalin na inumin ng kuya mo?" I rolled my eyes at him

    I woke up to the sound of my phone and answered it immediately. "Hello?" Kinukusot ko pa ang mata ko kasi mukhang ayaw pang bumukas."Akala ko pupunta tayo ng mall? Tuloy pa ba?" I looked at the caller ID and saw Sage's name. Nakita ko din na 6:30 pm na pala."Don't you have any hangover?" Narinig kong tumawa siya ng mahina sa kabilang linya. Marami din kasi ang ininom niya, remembering all that full shots he had."May training ang katawan ko sa alak. It takes me more than that para magka hangover." I rolled my eyes at him although alam ko naman na hindi niya nakikiya. "I'll take a guess and say that you're rolling your eyes.""Tama ka. So ano ang gusto mong patunayan?" He laughed again at napangiti naman ako. Pinakiramdaman ko ang sarili ko bago tumayo and I still feel a little dizzy. Bwiset na hang over."So ano tuloy ba?" I went out of my room para kumuha ulit ng tubig at ng kung ano man na makakain since wala akong kinain maghapon.Bakit ba medyo madilim dito sa bahay? Asan ang mg

    I'm slumped on the sofa watching tv na hindi ko naman talaga naiintindihan. I also texted Sage na next time nalang kami lumabas, he wanted to come pero I told him no dahil mukhang sa mood ni Enrique kahit magpapasok ng tao ay ayaw niya."Mira, I cooked dinner." Narinig kong sabi niya sa likod ko. "Let's eat."Hindi ko siya pinansin. Unang-una hindi ko talaga ma gets kung anong ginagawa niya dito at kung bakit kaming dalawa lang ang nandito. I tried calling kuya Demitri and Jules pero hindi sila pareho sumasagot."Nagluto ako ng spareribs." I mentally groaned. Why is he being so nice to me? He cooked my favorite! Napapaisip tuloy ako kung anong ihip ng hangin ang nasagap niya para maging ganyan siya sa akin."Hindi ako gutom." But as soon as I said those words naamoy ko ang niluto niya at naramdaman ko ang pag kulo ng tiyan ko."Are you sure? Dahil kaya ko itong ubusin lahat." Huminga ako ng malalim at tumayo na sa upuan. Hindi ko gugutumin ang sarili ko para sa kanya.Hindi ako magpap

    "That's right. Demitri's not here cause Mira's leaving." Agad akong napatingin kay Klaus. He's talking to Trei and Keith, he minimized his voice for me not to hear it, but I did. Klaus' voice is always loud even when he tries to minimize it. "Ang alam ko wala nanaman planong bumalik yung babaeng yun." I immediately stood up. Napatingin naman sa akin si Trei at Klaus, habang nakayuko lang si Keith at natutulog. "Where?" Kumunot naman ang noo ni Klaus. "Dude are you alright?" Hindi ako nagsalita. "Can I tell you something?" "No." I immediately answered but he ignored me. "You look like a caveman Montreverde. You haven't shave for weeks! Halos hindi kita makilala kanina." Hindi ko pinansin ang sinabi niya. Ang daldal talaga ng taong to. "Where is she?" Kailangan ko siyang makita. Kahit isang sulyap lang. Kahit isang segundo lang. I miss her. I miss her annoying voice. I miss her loud laughter. I just... miss everything about her, because I love her. "Sino?" Alam kong alam niya kun

    "Culv, while you're there can you check on my sister?" Demitri asked while we talked through the phone. I just finished a mission here in Madrid and he asked me if I can look how his little sister is doing.Demitri is one of my closest friend. Tinulungan niya akong bumangon sa mga panahon lubog na lubog ako. He helped me in building my buisness. He is-was, I mean-my wife's cousin. Demitri is also a good friend. Kaya naman gagawin ko ang lahat ng pabor na kaya kong gawin para sa kanya."Alright." He gave me his sister's location and I immediately went there and looked for Mira. Hindi ko pa talaga siya nakikita ng personal dahil mahilig daw maglibot sa iba't-ibang bansa ang kapatid niya.I went to the place where he said his sister is and waited for the picture of his sister. Nang makuha ko ang litrato, halos mabitawan ko ang cellphone ko.He looks exactly like her. Like my wife.My eyes scanned the room and there she is laughing and drinking with old men and women as they share jokes.

    One year together and Enrique still hadn't proposed to me! Gosh! I'm not getting any younger. Mom keeps on teasing me na hindi daw ako nag mana sa kanya dahil hanggang ngayon hindi parin ako pinapakasalan ni Enrique. She said that when it was her and dad, six months after they met nagpakasal na sila. Eh kasi naman pinikot niya si daddy!I should've grabbed the chance when she saw us inside my room a year ago. Dapat sinakyan ko na si Mommy at sinabihan si Enrique na Mom's right! Kailangan niya nga akong panagutan. Edi sana we have our cute chikitings na."You're still young Mira. Maghintay ka lang kasi." I rolled my eyes at Jaqie."Says someone na nag propose sa asawa niya." Jaqie just laughed at me. Kanina pa siya kain ng kain. Lumalaki na din ang tiyan niya since 8 months na siyang buntis."Naalala ko nung kasal ko, masiyado kang desidido na saluhin ang bouquet ko para ikaw na ang sunod na ikasal. Look at you now, hindi mo nasalo kaya hindi ka parin kasal." Julian and her both laughe

    "Alin ma?" I asked innocently na para bang nung hinulog ko si Enrique sa sahig makakalimutan ni mommy na he saw us sleeping together."Don't act innocent on me Miranda Fleur. Mas magaling akong umarte kesa sayo. Ano ang ibig sabihin nito?" He looked at Enrique na ngayon ay nakaupo na sa sahig at hinihimas ang ulo niya. He must've hit his head nung nahulog siya."We were just sleeping-""I knew it!" I looked at my mom weirdly. Bakit ba galit na galit siya eh we were just sleeping lang naman talaga! She's being hysterical na diyan."Mom calm down. We were just sleeping together!""Jusporsanto Miranda! You were SLEEPING TOGETHER!!" She fanned herself using his hands. Nakatulala lang si Enrique sa kanya. Shocked yata siya sa pagiging over acting ni mommy. "Ano nalang ang sasabihin ng mga amiga ko? That I have a daughter who sleeps around?""What's wrong with sleeping?" I muttered."What's going on here?" Nagsilingunan kami nang marinig ang boses ni kuya Demitri. "Mom? When did you get bac

    I showered and Julian must've lend Enrique my brother's clothes dahil nung kumatok siya sa kwarto ay bagong ligo na din si Enrique at nakabihis ng tshirt ni kuya. Julian and I both insisted that he sleeps on the guest room. That's two bedrooms away from mine."I just want to check on you. Are you hungry? Do you want to eat something?" Umiling ako. I walked towards my bed and tucked myself in while sit and leaned my back on the headboard. I patted the space beside me.Enrique's face was hesitant and I rolled my eyes. Not this again. I arched my brows at him and twitched my lips to one side. I saw him gulped. Jusko naman, why is he like that ba? Akala mo naman I will rape him here. Hindi naman ako namimilit if hindi pa siya ready...Hindi parin siya gumalaw so I pointed my finger at him and then beside me. Ngumiti ako ng malapad when he sighed and made his way to sit beside me. Pero nasa ibabaw lang siya ng comforter nakaupo. I rolled my eyes. Conservative masiyado kainis! It's not like

    I don't know kung ilang oras na kaming nandito ni Rustan sa loob ng garage. I'm also thirsty and hungry. I don't even see the kidnappers, all I saw was two guys na naglalaro ng cards while smoking some cigarettes sa gilid at binabantayan kami. Gosh, typical kidnappers that I see in a movie. Akala ko oa lang sila pero totoo pala. How lame. Wala bang something na kakaiba? Yung hindi ko nakikita sa mga action movies?Nanlaki ang mga mata ko as we heard a gunshot not far away from here."Finally!" Rustan said exasperatedly."Anong finally? Bakit finally?" I asked na natataranta. I hate guns. I hate the sound they make. I have a feeling na I'm gonna get killed tonight."My brother's team is here." He said with a smirk. Hindi ako natuwa. Omg! Don't tell me walang pulis? Anong oras dadating ang pulis?! Kapag safe na kami? Gosh! Are we shooting some lame filipino movie here? But as reality show?!The two guys immediately stood up and took their guns. Five or six more went inside. Lumapit sila

    "Enrique's brother?" He smirked. Hindi ko alam na may kapatid siya pero super magkahawig talaga sila. Except-napansin ko-sa color ng eyes. Enrique' eyes are grey, sa kanya ay itim and Enrique doesn't make a smirk like that."Are you twins?" He chuckled and slowly shook his head.Kung sabagay, sa malayuan talagang mapagkakamalan mo siyang si Enrique, but seeing him up close you'll see the differences. This guy has a rounder face than him and Enrique has a mysterious aura around him, while Rustan has this bad boy image. Also, Enrique's body structure is a little bigger, but I think magkalapit lang ang height nilang dalawa."We're half brothers, actually." I was taken aback by what he said. May kapatid sa labas si Enrique?"He didn't tell me he has a brother." Bakit wala manlang akong alam na he has a half brother pala? He didn't even mention it to me. Ang alam ko kasi solong anak siya ng mga Monteverde."That's because he also didn't know-until last year when he accidentally saw me in a

    "Mira ready na for your interview?" One of the crew asked me as my make up artist finishes my make up. Tumango ako at ngumiti. I have an interview today since our episode was a success. The management wants to expose us more to the viewers. I know for sure that they are doing this to see if they will want me sign a contract with them."My gosh momsh yung eyebags mo putok na putok! Mabuti nalang magaling ako. Charan! Waley ng bakas ng pinagpuyatan mo." I chuckled. Kanina pa kasi siya frustrated dahil sa eyebags ko na masiyadong namamaga. He even gave an exaggerated scream when he saw me.It's been two weeks since I last saw Enrique and in those two weeks, hindi ako makatulog. I'm so depressed, stressed-lahat na yata ng negative vibes nasa akin na. I always think about our last conversation.Mali ba ako? Did I made the wrong decision by pushing him away? Was I too much? Those are the questions that has been bugging me for two weeks.I it's really over for the both of us dahil kahit shad

    The interview ended smoothly, although wala nang ibang ginawa ang hosts kundi ang i-issue na nasa dating stage kami ni Sage. We both denied it and said that we're only friends. We told them about how we actually met at kinuwento namin sa kanila kung anong nangyari talaga. They asked us if there's a possibility that we'll be together in the future, we didn't say any straight answers to keep the fans' excitement, of course it was all part of the script.I arrived at home, all the lights are off. My brows furrowed. Madilim at parang walang katao-tao. It looks a little bit creepy."Hello?" I shouted. Asan sila kuya Demitri at si Jules? Wag nilang sabihin na nag out of town nanaman sila at nag honeymoon without telling me?!I walked towards the garden when I saw a dim light. My eyes widen as I saw Enrique holding a bouquet of flowers and he's smiling at me. Nakita ko din na may table at candles na nakahanda. The ambiance looked like it's romantic but I cannot feel any romance. Manhind na y
