Eliza and her mother and her older sister are standing infront of the church's door. They are waiting for the door to open, and then they will march down the aisle.
"Ready?" her mother asks her, as the doors are slowly opening."I'm ready as I could be." Eliza excitedly answers.The three of them slowly walks at the aisle, and at the same time her favorite song, Annie's Song by John Denver is playing.Everyone at the church gasped in admiration as they watch Eliza walking down the aisle. As soon as they reached the altar, his soon to be husband, Quiel walk towards them and greeted her mother and her sister. After exchanging pleasantries, he finally stretches out his hand towards his bride."You look like a dream, darling. And I love you." he whispered to her."I love you, too." Eliza whispered back at him.They walked to the altar toEleana snaps her head up when she saw one of the staff coming out from the Audition Room. She is holding a folder, and Eleana is 100% sure that it contains the list of people who passed the audition.She just had an audition two hours ago for the role of a female second lead character in a big-budgeted television drama series. The director of the said television project wanted to cast new, fresh and talented faces, so that's why she mustered all of her courage to audition and give them everything she got...The almost one hundred auditionees all put their attention to the lady staff and waited for her to speak. At the same time, the lady puts out her portable handheld megaphone and she started making announcements. "Okay, listen up, everyone. The following names that I'm going to call are the people who passed the first screening. Once your name is called, please stand up and proceed to the next room on the right side. Is that clear?" the lady finally announced."Yes, Ma'am." they al
"Alright then... You see, your Great Grammie was one of the Golden Girls back in the fifties. She didn't go to any auditions, but she was personally handpicked by a movie producer, while she was on a trip during summer vacation. She starred in many romantic movies, and she was in the peak of her career when she finally announced and decided to retire from the movie industry because she decided to marry your Great Grandpapa." Quiel continues on with his trivia about his grandmother."Wow, that's surprising to hear, Daddy! I've never thought and imagined that we have a superstar in our family!" Eleana exclaimed, while looking amazed."Like Great Grammie, just like great granddaughter!" Eliza smilingly commented."I couldn't agree more, darling." Quiel nodded to his wife in agreement."Well, I wish I could be just like Great Grammie..." Eleana wistfully stated."Of course you can, honey! Even though you didn't pass that audition, you will have your own spotlight in God's perfect timing.
Few months have passed.Eleana is currently driving her way back to her hometown, which is six hours away from the capital city. She lets out a big smile when she saw the main entrance of their family's estate. She's going to be back home after a long time. "I'm finally back at your place, Grammie Miranda..." she whispered with a smile.She excitedly lowers her car's windshield and she breathes in the fresh cool air of the countryside area. She quickly glances at the towering trees and enchanting wildflowers. The excited Eleana lets out a deep and contented sigh while looking at the beauty of nature infront of her.Eleana is now back at her Great Grammie's place because their family is going to celebrate her old Nana's birthday. They usually have a birthday party for her every year, as they try to relive all the memories they had with her great grammie.She was assigned by her parents to create a video montage of her grandmother, which will be shown to the guests at the party. Wh
They are now making their way to the dining room. Eleana's eyes widened in surprise when she saw the big feast her mother and father prepared for her. The long table is filled with many different types of dishes, and it's all her favorites!"I want you all you eat as if there's no tomorrow. We've waited for for so many months to see you again, and summer is always a special season for us because we can see our one and only child again." her mother gently smiles at her one and only daughter."Your Mom woke up so early just to get the freshest ingredients at the market. I was still half-asleep while we were going around the wet market." her father jokingly stated."What nonsense! You were more excited than me, asking me "Will Eleana like this? Will she like that?" her mother revealed,while shaking her head.Eleana was about to say something but she wasn't able to do it anymore because her stomach started churning so loud for the second time, and everyone in the dining room became silent
Later that night.Everyone at their house are already fast asleep, but Eleana is still wide awake. She doesn't know why, but she had this urge to go to Great Grammie's room, and just take a look around.Once she is inside the room, she started to roam her eyes around. All of the things inside Grammie's room screams of vintage.She lets out a smile when she saw her Grammie's prayer altar. She went towards it to take a closer look. She thoughtfully frowned when she saw a small drawer which was on the very bottom part of the altar. She tries to pull the drawer and she was surprised because it easily opened.She started coughing because the notebook was full of dusk. She decided to go to shake off all the dusts. And once it was a bit more clean, she decided to open the black notebook.Eleana's eyes widened in shock and amazement when she found out that it was her great Grammie's diary, back in the fifties!She decided to sit at the nearest chair, and started reading Great Grammie Miranda'
"Darling, I'll be waiting for you at the dining hall and I'm looking forward to have breakfast with you." I read the letter with a smile on my face. I can't wait to see him again, but I should be cautious whenever we meet each other. I should always be wearing a disguise. I usually wear a sunny hat, a pair of black sunglasses so that I won't be recognized by many people. I also have protect the man that I love and protect him from the intrusive paparazzis. I decided to go stand up and fix myself to look presentable and beautiful at the same infront of William..." Eleana smiled after reading her Great Grammie's second entry. Her grandma was just a normal woman in love. She wants to know more of her love story with her Great Grandfather, William. She continues to read the second part of the diary entry for January 9, 1958. "My heart did a somersault while looking at William's back. I'm having a hard time to breathe, in a good way whenever I see him and talk to him. I know that he's
April 10, 1958.I met up on a secret date again with William, and he asked me how was the Bachelorette Party. I told him that every girls, including the bride-to-be, had so much fun at the party.I also told him that Katherine wants to be my Matron of Honor, and she wants to be in our civil and church wedding.William agrees right away because he knows that Katherine and I have been inseparable, and we are best friends for life.He also added that he is willing to wait until my contract finishes and once it's over, they will get married in a civil rites first, then they will start planning and preparing for their church wedding.I can't help but to feel guilty about the thought of not marrying him right away. Heaven knows I want to get married to him right away, but the legalities is just holding me back...May 8, 1958.I slowly opened my eyes, and I was a bit surprised when I found out that I was at a certain hospital room.I also saw Katherine beside my hospital bed, and I asked her
Eleana closed her Great Grammie Miranda's diary. Now that she finally knows her great grandmother's past, she can totally understand everything about her.She realized that love can be someone's motivation, and it can end something at the same time. But on her own opinion, Great Grammie Miranda made a right decision to marry her Great Grandpapa.She found her life-long happiness by marrying her Great Grandpapa, William Montecillo.The takeaway that she also had after reading her great grandmother's diary is her fiery passion when it comes to acting.Her grandmother only fuelled her to try reaching her goals in life, and that is being an actress."Alright... Let's do this again, Great Grammie." Eleana whispered, feeling more motivated than ever before...==================================One month have passed.Eleana took a deep calming breath once she saw the male staff coming out from the Audition Room
