The AFA 2020, or the Antonio Facundo Awards, is a competition for journalists like Avery Taylor. It is also often open to writers and directors. They will take a subject, a prevalent person with people, and publish to the public how that person lives. Avery earns the honor of being an exceptional reporter and journalist every year. She won AFA 2019 last year, and he will never relinquish her seat. She will make sure she gets the same award again this year. All she had to do is find someone, a person everyone looked up to with a mysterious identity. Cormac Carter, one of the richest bachelors in the entire Philippines and owns one of the most popular car brands globally — C.C Cars, will be Avery’s target. He’s the gem of the competition. That man already has all the ‘ingredients’ for that, and Avery will not let the opportunity slide. With that desire, she had so much to go through, but Avery never expected that by digging into his past, she would find her past that was buried into her mind for a long time ago. The incident that caused her to be hit by a car and develop amnesia, the incident that made her feel the hardship of the past fifteen years..
View More“That’s indeed a lot!” Avery looked at the woman who had just entered the small room. It was their Editor-in-Chief. Trophies and awards from various theaters and preaching ceremonies in a few years almost filled Avery’s walls.
During her years as a T.V. reporter and occasional news anchor and making various documentaries that aired on television, she often drew awards. She will not brag, but she can’t stop being proud of herself. She’s having the time of her life. She worked hard for that to happen. After almost five years, she gradually made her dream come true.
She faced her boss, who was already sitting on the couch. “Are you ready for the Antonio Facundo Awards 2020?” She grinned even more at what she heard. Of course, she will never forget about it. This is the first month of the year, and she is already searching the internet on whose life she will feature now.
The AFA 2020, or the Antonio Facundo Awards is a competition for journalists like her, is also often open to writers and directors. Unlike usual, they will take a subject, someone, which is very popular with people. They will publish to viewers about how that person’s life is. Supposedly, Avery will know the life of whoever is chosen just to win. She will make sure she gets the same award again this year. All she had to do is find someone, a person everyone looked up to with a mysterious identity.
She won AFA last year, so Avery feels enormously pressured. One of the best-selling authors, Tanya Tebrero–Jacinto, was her subject, and she didn’t have a hard time with it.
Tanya is very kind. She is honest with what she feels and wants, and she quickly understands it. Avery even got a mentor because Tanya was also very good at her craft.Her life was indeed a chaotic experience. The woman narrated life to her, but it seemed to bring her to that situation. Now, she can’t be more proud of Tanya and Josiah’s love story. They were happily blessed with two children — now having three children — because Tanya’s pregnant.
After the showing of that documentary, they got millions of views on popular Social Media sites such as Instagram, Youtube and Facebook. They even touched the BSE News where she works which claims hundreds of applause.
“I am born ready, Ma’am. Though I have no ideas yet, my team and I will meet for the plans.” She opened her cellphone. She has a few choices. However, she is not so sure if it will be popular with the people.
They need to find someone who is almost adored by the majority but still has a huge secret about his or her personality. That will seriously become a good catch.
And that’s what she wants.
The viewer, the public will truly become curious, which will cause her to enjoy the documentary more.
She must be wise. AFA Award is notable for her. She can’t miss that now.
Her eyes widened when the woman dropped a brown envelope on the small table. She looked at it with so many questions, but the boss just shrugged and motioned for her to open it.
She did the woman’s command. Her hand almost trembled with great excitement. Whatever it is, this is connected to the AFA. Anything that’s connected to AFA excites her.
When she saw the picture, she immediately frowned. The possible difficulty of getting the person on the picture revolved around her mind. She knew what the boss meant by giving her a picture of the man.
It is not just a man, though. He’s the most mysterious man the business industry know.
“The most mysterious man in the business, Cormac Carter. He had this codename, C.C. People can see how rich that man is. They can see how he presents at so many conferences. He has also become a public figure because of his popularity, especially among women. But here’s a funny thing, Av. No one knows her parents. No one knows what the story of his life is. It was as if he had just appeared in the business industry–” The woman shook Avery’s hand out of excitement. “Hey! You get what I mean, right?”
Avery blinked—twice, thrice. There are so many speculations that are going through her mind. She is already thinking of a way to convince him because men like him are allergic to cameras. She must know that.
But aside from that, his aura speaks something strange to her. You can be scared of the man by just staring at his picture.
Of course, she knows Cormac Carter! Who would not? She has tried several times to ask him for an interview in a few conferences, but she does not get a word.
“When we get that man, we will definitely get most of the women. I know many are also curious about Mr. Carter, and this one’s a good break. I really hope the opponents will not overtake us.” The boss fixed her hair and then looked at Avery. “This is a good catch, Av. Many are joining AFA today, and we need to stand out—you need to stand out. For now, I can find nothing more okay with Mr. Carter. He’s the ace in the competition. You can get him, right, Av?”
Avery immediately nodded at that question. Cormac Carter has a lot of friends and colleagues, and that’s where Avery will start. Only then can she get information from the man, the things he likes and dislikes, his passion for work, and his past. Sooner or later, Avery will also get him in an interview. She has nothing to miss now.
She knew she would have a hard time, but she can’t be more sure about her goal. She’ll get AFA 2020.
“I’ll get him. I will take all the chances in the world. I will win the AFA 2020,” she fiercely replied, putting all her hopes up.
The AFA 2020, or the Antonio Facundo Awards, is a competition for journalists like me. It is also usually open to writers and directors. Unlike usual, here we take a subject, someone who is very popular with people. . . we published to viewers how that person’s life was. We know the life of whoever is chosen just to win. But after all those struggles on getting the right person for the documentary, I imprinted in my mind that I would be the winner. I promised I would do everything for the documentary, especially now that I have something I want to prove to the public. That I am more than the murderer’s daughter they once called. “Avery!” I confronted the woman who called me.. It was Ma’am Cassandra, running her way to me. This boss of mine nearly cried because she said she missed me so much. “The gem of the documentary!” It was as if this was
The court found my father's case guilty. Aside from his confession about what he did, the watch was still there, and some evidence had already come out after murdering Jandro. That was the hardest and the most painful decision of all — opening your eyes to each of those hearings. My father will spend twelve years in prison and mommy can't stand the truth. To help her feel at ease, Kuya Jac and I took her abroad. The public had criticize our family hard that we can’t even chew our food. My older brother was left in the Philippines to continue what dad left in the company. I knew it would never be an easy fight for kuya because the incident affected the state of the company and the people there. Almost everyone left, and it was like we were back to the beginning. Although I don't want to leave Kuya Jac there, I know it woul
“Avery? Dad!”For a few minutes no one spoke, even though the three of us were already in that room. Even though I was just looking at Kuya Jac and daddy, my heart was full of speculations.I can not believe what’s happening. I can’t. . . and will never accept these.In what ways was daddy involved in the murder of Cormac’s parents fifteen years ago?“Avery. . . ”“Please don’t act like this,” I said bluntly. “Please tell me I am imagining things!”Kuya Jac was the one I tried to face this time. Frustration was clear on his face. Fear of what I might say, do, and think. “What is this? Is this what you are hiding from me?”The words tangled at the tip of my tongue. I can’t seem to mutter a word.“Kuya, Daddy, what’s this? Why is it like this? How did it happen?!”I must be dreaming! My daddy w
“I’m going home,” I announced to the man when I talk to him for breakfast.A few minutes after I read that text, the man just left the room. He doesn’t know what I had just found out and whatever I was thinking.He was shocked when he faced me. “What? Wait, Av, why?” Cormac asked.I was still drowning in my thoughts, especially since the truth had suddenly been thrown at me.What did that really mean, then? What about the watch? What if my daddy had such a watch then? Did they already know about the identity of the murderer’s ally?How about my brother? Is he suspicious of our father as well? Why do they have to hide that thing from me?Dad.I have to go to my father.“Avery?”“I have to do something. . . at–at work,” I replied. Take care of whatever else he might think.How did they keep this matter a secret from me? Wh
“Of course,” I said reluctantly and then explicitly messed up my hair. “Of course, you don’t really have anything to look for! What an excuse.” After a few minutes of waiting for what the man would say after arriving in Batangas, I just gave up. This is frustrating! I still thought there would be something, and I would know today. “Cormac!” The man frowned when he turned to me. “Come on, Av. My legs are tired. We have a lot to go to on the first day of our itinerary. Av, you need to walk faster.” Itinerary? I was already left behind. Apparently I preferred to rebel, and I didn’t follow what Cormac was saying. I will never move here until it tells me what Kuya Jac and I are hiding from me. Even if night or darkness overtakes me here, I swear to all god
Two months passed so quickly. Happiness for Cormac and I had continued. That’s exactly what I was worrying about. . . everything seems falling into its proper places. Cormac laughs often, as if he never thought of his parents again. I would definitely say that I’m happy for him.a happiness I can’t hope for anything as I feel a happiness in my heart that I see him laughing, taking time to talk to my parents. There will be days they’ll go out for dinner or lunch, even if Kuya Jac didn’t invite us at all. I love that thing, because from the very beginning, I wanted Cormac to really find a new family—a family that will love and care for him. My mom and dad are the best parents of all time. They love Cormac as their son as well. I’m happy with that thing, but what I just can’t quite figure out right now is why I hear
I have questioned life several times before. Life is unfair. . . I would say that. I don’t know the reasons that your trials have to happen, your difficulties. When I self-pity, I think I am the most oppressed in the world. I always thought there was no hope — nothing would ever change that. Yes, I suffered a lot too. How many times have I wanted to give up on life? Losing my own memories is not as easy as what people think. There are tons of frustration I face every morning I wake up, hoping maybe the next time I’ll wake up remembering all of it. But when I found out all that Cormac had been through, how could the man resist just to get to where he is now? I couldn’t imagine the experiences — I was suddenly embarrassed to complain. I stood up as Cormac violently ran away. I immediately called him out, but the man ignored it. It runs even faster. “Cormac!” 
The next morning, I almost turned the house upside down without being able to fumble with the sketch I had watched last night. When Ma’am Cassandra and I finished talking, she told me not to go to the company first because she would take care of it and I should go straight to my parents’ house to stay there first. When I arrived, Kuya had already left, and they had already discussed that I will stay with my parents the whole night. Drowsiness did not immediately visit me, so I distracted myself by drawing. That sketch is exactly the person I see myself in mind. I’ve searched my room, it’s not in the kitchen nor in the living room. I should go by now. I couldn’t go to the office last night so I told myself I was going after having breakfast today. But without that sketch, I don’t know how I will probably deal with Cormac, as
Life can be cruel to us every time. Sometimes we think nothing good is going to happen—that’s where we go wrong. That we are waking up each day, that we are surviving, we can be the happiest person in the world. Waking up is a chance, to make a difference, to do what we want to do. . . to love ourselves and to be true. The first day I opened my eyes with no memories at all, I felt like my life had stopped as well. It was as if I was dead, but I can still feel the pain in my heart. The first day, I couldn’t answer questions about myself. It was like I was being gradually killed. The moment they ask me about my name and I can’t answer. When I woke up, I could no longer remember the people who had been waiting for me to wake up. It was beyond the pain and frustration. One day became a month. . . years. One year t
