Chapter 52: My Dream.
Kasama ko ang floor director namin habang pinapanood ang ibang staff na inaayos ang setting ng stage, bumalik na si Jen pero hindi ko pa rin siya nakikita. Baka naman mamaya ay lalabas na rin yun, napag isip isip ko na rin na magbukas ng social media mamaya paguwi ko o pagkatapos ng trabaho ko dahil na rin way ito ng unang step sa pagtanggap ko ng trabaho ni Rage.
Tanggap ko naman kahit anong trabaho pa yan ang pinaka kinatatakutan ko lang ay ang mga tao sa paligid niya, majority ang fans niya at ang public viewers. Wala rin naman akong pake sa kanila kung tutuusin, si Ivy nga hindi ko pinalampas diba! Pero kasi iba ang magiging impact noon sa akin, baka maging dahilan pa yun at magkaroon bigla ng sigalot sa relasyon naming dalawa.
Pinapa stand by na namin ang mga celebrity hosts, nagsimula na rin mag hype ang mga tao. Hanggang sa nag Director cue na!
Naupo lang ako sa tabi ng prompter dahil hawak ko pa rin ang manual script, just incase na magka problema ang prompter may reserba kami.
Hanggang sa naririnig ko ang bulungan ng mga audience sa likod ko.
‘Diba siya daw yung girlfriend ni Rage?’
‘Tanong natin.’
‘Siya nga yan o tignan mo sa video.’
‘Hala, maganda din pala siya.’
‘Papicture tayo.’
Nakakaramdam na ako ng kaba dahil sa pag-uusap ng dalawang teen ager na ito. I try to not react to it and watch our program the way I can.
Kita ko sa peripheral vision ko ang pagtayo nila, umusog ako ng konti sa tabi ng isa pa naming writer para doon sumiksik. Pero papunta talaga sila sa direksyon kung saan ako nakaupo ngayon, baka mahalata kami ng hosts. I made friends to some celebrity here dito sa noon time, mostly ay dahil lang din kay Jen but it’s good na pinapanood ko lang sila noon ay nakakausap ko na sila ngayon.
Bumibilis na ang paghinga ko dahil ramdam ko na talaga ang kaba ko.
“Hello, po. Pwede po magpapicture sa inyo, diba po kayo ang girlfriend ni Rage Suarez?” Sabi nung bata nang makalapit na sa akin.
Nilingon ko naman silang dalawa, I try to smile and accepted their cameras pero ang kasamaang palad ay bigla akong nakita ng isang host namin, na talaga namang walang pinapalampas kahit na live pa.
“Oh, iba din talaga ang writer namin oh may fans, diba!” Miss Suzy said, he’s gay. Nagtatawanan kaming nakakakilala sa akin, tahimik naman ang ibang audience dahil mukhang kinikilala pa ata ako.
I cover the paper to my face, because some people starting to recognize me now.
“Dahil jan, may nag text si Rage Simson.” Miss Suzy again. She teased me. I know I’m super red right now.
Mas naloka ako ng itapat sa akin ang spotlight at nakaflash ang mukha ko sa LED screen.
“Natural ang beauty diba.” Hirit ni Jen.
“May chismis pa akong nalaman, nasa kabilang studio lang daw si Rage Simson.” Geoff teases me too.
“Simson ba ang surname non?” Nakikisali si Jen sa pangbibiro sa akin, I just manage to smile sa mga kalokohang sinasabi nila. All I do is just formed a smile, dahil pangit naman kung mag inarte ako dito masisira ko pa image ni Rage na may girlfriend siyang ganito na ma-attitude.
They start the show already. I heard some camera clicks beside me coming from the audience phones. I just sit here habang hawak ang manual script dahil need namin na alerto kami just incase nga na masira ang monitor.
“Hoy, trending si Lex ngayon sa twitter. Iba din, iba! Diba.” Miss Suzy, tease me again. Nakakagulat naman bigla bigla silang nag gaganyan.
“Trending ka Ms. Lex” si Jen. Inirapan ko naman ang kaibigan ko, and just force a laugh.
“Yung irap niya inlove ano.” Banat sa akin ni sir Geoff. Pinaypay ko na ang papers sa akin, cause they already giving me a hot seat.
They proceed to the show again.
—--
Natapos ang show na ako ang topic. Nasa backstage ako ngayon kasama ang ibang hosts and staff, they’re just talking at kami naman ay tambay din muna. Hanggang sa bigla akong may nakitang camera na paparating, akala ko ay kukuhanan lang ang mga hosts para sa BTS.(Behind the scenes.) Pero biglang dumating si Rage at siya pala ang kinukuhanan.
Hindi ko alam kung tatakbo ako o hindi dahil nandito na siya at hawak na niya ang kamay ko. Medyo lumayo na rin sa amin ang camera.
“Hey, why are you here?” I asked.
“Just visiting you, sweetie.” He whispers to my ears. Agad naman akong umilag dahil na rin sa mga taong nakapaligid.
Sinubukan kong hindi masyado magreact pero todo na ang ngiti ko ngayon.
“Pwede naman na mamaya na tayo magmeet.” Sagot ko naman sa kanya.
“I have a surprise for you later.” Bakit ba siya bulong ng bulong?
“Hindi pa naman natin monthsary, ah?” Taka kong tanong, like para saan na naman yun.
“I know.” Simple niyang sagot sa akin at hinawakan ang pisngi ko.
“Come with me.” Hinila niya ako para sumunod sa kanya sa pupuntahan namin, malayo namang nakasunod ang isang cameraman.
“Huy, ano to?” Kinakabahan na ako sa kanya.
Pumasok kami sa isang press con room, yun ang nakalagay sa pinto.
Nasilaw agad ako sa mga flash ng camera at ingay ng clicks nito. Sinubukan kong imulat ng matiwasay ang mga mata ko pero hindi ko talaga kaya ang dumilat ng maayos. Hanggang sa pinakalma ko muna ang sarili ko at doon ko nakita ang dami ng mga reporters na dumating.
“You want to sit?” Tanong sa akin ni Rage, agad naman akong umupo sa upuan malapit sa stage.
Kumindat pa si Rage sa akin bago niya inayos ang mic sa podium kung saan siya tatayo at mag sspeech. Ano bang event ngayon? Hindi naman ata kami naabisuhan.
“Ladies and Gentlemen, thank you so much for your consideration to come here and accept my invitation for this afternoon's announcement of mine. Well, I’m Rage Suarez. I bet everyone knows me already or if not then that;s good. You all watch me ever since I’m young, well that’s the life this world already offers to me. Being the only son of a Politician, become an actor you all see that my becoming. Seven years ago, I took this BA in English Language Study just because my dream role in the movie is to become a Language enthusiast, and I need to be familiar with the course program. So I enrolled myself in a university here in Manila— Luckily, I met this girl . She is just around twenty years of age. To tell you, our encounter is not good though. But we are not discussing those bad yet funny memories we’ve both shared.” Rage paused after he said his last words, maybe reminiscing something.
“To make the story short, there’s a good and bad twist to every tale. The good thing is she fell in love with me, even though there is this guy who truly likes her too. So, I should fight for her as well, as luck would have it she chose me. Until the saddest part of our tale came, she had a massive accident that made her forget me, and some of her friends. Also, I move forward while my heart is in a deep state when she’s gone. I introduced my name to the world. To do that I went to the USA, accepting many more international projects there and you know, my dream happened. But my real dream is here, she is the dream. I came back, and promised myself to win her back again. This time whatever it takes, and destiny is so kind to me this time. I won her back again. She’s the girl I’m talking about. Lexia Alicia Carmona, my girl, yes I’m confirming my relationship with her. My dream.”
Then that’s where I felt, my tears fall.
I stood and gave him a hug, we kissed in front of the world.
Chapter 53: Alfonso Gang It’s been a week since Rage confessed our relationship to the media, while they have already started to film the movie that I wrote, I am now starting for my very first novel book. I asked Mrs. Cruz na hindi na ako sumama pa sa set kahit na part din ako ng production, isa pa dream ko na din kasi ito ang magpublish ng book. Rage is very supportive t everything I planned for myself, lagi lang niya sinasabi na gawin ko lang raw lahat ng gusto ko dahil mas gusto niya akong makitang masaya. I always appreciate every comment he gave on me, pansin ko din na isa yun sa love language niya word affirmation, pinaka paborito ko ay physical touch. I love every time he touches me, I love and importance. I do the same to him ano, impossible naman kasi na puro siya lang. I think quality time is the best thing I done to him, every day since alam ko naman na mahirap ang trabaho niya. Nasa coffee shop ako dito lang din malapit sa bahay namin, halos walking distance lang di
Chapter 54: Hihingi Tayong Tulong.Hindi ako makapaniwala sa narinig ko, mukhang hindi pa rin nag si-sink in kay Ali lahat. Naiwan kami rito sa bahay kaming lang dalawa, agad na umalis ang boys matapos pumayag ni Jen sa gusto nila. Kanina pa kami ni Ali hindi nag-iingay, ang dami ding tanong sa isip ko at ang mas lalo kong inaalala ay si Rage. Naloloka na ako sa mga kaganapan, sana pala nag prepared talaga ako bago ako pumunta dito sa Manila. Nakakagulat!“Puntahan kaya natin sila okay lang?” Basag ni Ali sa katahimikan.“Paano, ei sabi ni Rage ay dito lang daw tayo babalik daw sila ng maayos at ibabalik daw nila si Jen.” Sagot ko naman sa kanya, ngayon ay kinakain na namin yung kakaluto lang ni Jen kanina na fries bago kami katukin ng boys. “Nababagabag ako ei, kung ang Daddy pala ni Jen ang leader ng kung ano mang gang na yun, at tinuring na kaibigan ng pamilya ni Rage. I don’t think so na magiging okay ang lahat..” Dugtong ko. Tinignan naman ako ni Ali at mukhang tinatansya niya a
Chapter 55: We’ll help you get justice.Habang binabaybay namin ni Ali ang kalsada na dinaanan namin kanina ay, biglang may mga sasakyan ng pulis ang dali-daling binabaybay din ang pinanggalingan namin kanina. Nagkatinginan kami ni Ali mukhang alam na rin niya ang iniisip ko na maaaring papunta iyon sa lugar kung nasaan sila Jen. Dahil si Ali naman ang nagda-drive aya agad niyang niliko ang sasakyan para sundan ang mga sasakyan din ng Pulis. Lalong kumakabog ang dibdib ko lalo na at may narinig kaming putok ng baril. Hindi ko lubos maisip ang dadatnan ko kung maabutan kong hindi maganda ang lagay ni Rage. Hindi naman talaga ako madasalin pero sana lang talaga, sana ay ligtas siya at nasa maayos na kalagayan. “Andito na tayo.” Sabi ni Ali habang dali-daling tinatanggal ang ang seatbelt niya, mukhang nag alala din siya kay Grayson. “Anong nangyayari?” Tanong ko, dahil nilalabas ng mga Pulis ang ilang bantay kanina at nakaposas na sila. Ganun din sila Jen at Rage, inaalalayan nila pa
Chapter 56: Discount.(RAGE’S)“Dude, Lexia is awake.” I feel like a possessed man after hearing what Kevin said, I immediately fix all my things cause I’m still here in the university's library, I’m reading a book about Lexia’s lecture when Kevin called. I run as fast as I can, to reach the university parking lot where my car is parked. To the point I forgot to breathe while running, I inhaled a large amount of air when I was actually in front of my car. I stopped for a while and cleaned myself for a moment, I fixed my hair, I ate chewing gum to make my breath smell good, I sprayed perfume as well. I’m really nervous, I don’t know what to say if I face her. Wala naman akong ginagawang masama bakit ba ako nag-aalala. I started the engine of my car to leave the university, especially when I bumped into some reporters kanina habang tumatakbo ako. My phone keeps ringing. I know it’s my Father but I’m not in the mood to talk to him. I still managed to drive safely and arrived in Hosp

I’m gonna miss that Latin accent of his. “I’m just staying in the Philippines for a couple of months, I need to shoot something there,” I said, actually it’s another movie as well, but for now it’s a secret. “Where is your brother?” He asked.“Oh, Achi, he left first. Then I just follow through.” I said.“So, this house is gonna be empty?” He asked. I looked at him, knowing that he’s gonna bring girls here and party a lot. “Fine, I am not gonna borrow your house.” He said. I continue packing my things. “So, you're gonna find your girlfriend there?” He asked. I stopped packing my things and thought about what he said. “Well, I am not sure though. But who knows!” I replied. I haven’t thought about it… “Well, I’m going now. I have surgery to perform this afternoon, take care and call me. ‘Kay, bye.” After he left

I feel so nervous, all my friends in high school decided to enroll in another university and some of them choose to have work first. I left here alone to go to my dream university.When I arrived inside the university, I went to the registrar office first and got my ID.

I took the mini brochure in my sling bag, and followed the directions written there. While I'm busy looking and following the brochure, someone bumps me, and all of my things smash on the floor."Oh my god, sorry. I will ta

Wala naman maibigay si Inay kaya sabi ko ako na lang gagawa ng paraan, isa pa sa akin din naman ang matitira sa mga pag-papart time ko. Dito ako natulog kila Jen kasi ini-invite kami ni Lexia sa darating na anniversary ng parents niya. Pumayag na rin ako para kumain. Isa pa, sinabi ni Grayson na dadalo daw sila ng pamilya niya, nagulat nga ako ng malaman na magkakilala pala si Jen at Grayson, parang wala namang hindi kilala si Jen. Pansin ko kasi pag magkakasama kaming tatlo ay kung sino-sino ang nakakakilala sa kanya. Nasa condo kami ngayon ni Jen, papunta pa lang kami ngayon sa bahay ng parents niya dahil dun nga ang celebration. Ako naman bigla akong kinakabahan, hindi ko alam kung kinakabahan a

Umalis ako ng probinsya dahil sa trabaho, tapos nung dumating ako rito ang dami-daming nangyari.Lahat ng konektado sa nakaraan ko nagkabalikan sila bigla sa buhay ko. Hindi ako prepared alam ko sa sarili ko hindi ko yun pinaghandaan, kung paano ako magrereact sa mga malalaman ko. Mas lalong hindi ko alam kung paano haharapin kung paano ako naaksidente, pinatawad ko nga si Jen ng ganun kabilis dahil alam ko sa sarili ko na pati yun ay hindi ko pinaghandaan.Tapos ngayon ang relasyon ko kay Rage, pati ito wala sa plano ko. Nasa isang coffee shop kaming dalawa, malayo ito sa network. Masasabi kong may pag-private siya, at higit sa lahat ay konti lang ang tao. “You okay?” Tanong sa akin ni Rage. Napansin niya ata na kanina ko pa siya hindi kinakausap, hindi naman sa galit ako pero kasi marami din akong doubts.
