The Rise of the Fallen Star Chapter 19
"I didn't know you two knew each other," Kierra commented after everything has calmed down. "We're just acquaintances, that's all," I answered vaguely. "So where's our room?""Ah, it's here." She pointed the room door next to me. Tinaasan ko siya ng kilay. "Seriously?"Sunod-sunod ang naging tango niya bilang sagot. "Gusto niya kasi 'yong kwarto mo kasi mas malaki daw. Bakit daw mas malaki pa 'yong ng second lead kaysa sa main lead. Iyon ang ikinagagalit niya kaya gusto niyang makipagpalit, pero hindi naman pwede," paliwanag ni Kierra sa akin habang binubuksan niya ang pintuan. "Bakit naman hindi?" Para kwarto lang naman 'to. Ano ngayon kung maliit o malaki ang gagamitin, basta matutulugan ayos na."Kasi naka-reserve na 'tong kwarto para sa 'yo. Magagalit si boss kapag hindi ikaw ang gagamit nito.""By boss, you mean?" May hinala na ako kung sino, pero gusto ko pa ring marinig iyon mula sa kaniya.

Sound of camera shutters and blinding light is all that I could hear and see right now. It was blinding me, but I didn't complain since I'm already used to it. For four years, I've been working in this field and I still haven't grown tired of it. Those experiences just fuel me to do my best every time."That's great! Thank you so much, Adri! This is the reason why I really love working with you," the cameraman shouted after the shoot had officially ended. I smiled at him widely. Full of enthusiasm because of his praise."Wala pong problema, Mr. Dencio. It's also my pleasure to work with you," I replied back, still wearing the same wide smile.I couldn't contain my happiness right now. This is my biggest project simula noong pumasok ako sa pagiging aktres. I was the last for the solo shoot kasi may schedule pa raw iyong dalawang bida kaya sila ang inuna.The role given to me is the second female lead, kung sa tingin ng iba maliit lang 'yon, for m

“Hold up!” I said, cutting him. “So… you are telling me, ‘yong lolo ko ipinagkasundo ako sa pamilya mo. Is that right?”I felt like my head is spinning as of the moment. Tumango siya sa tanong na parang bored na bored na siya sa akin dahil kanina pa ako nagtatanong sa kaniya. Hello! Sinong hindi mapipilitang magtanong sa kaniya kung bigla siyang lalapit sa akin ng ganito. Kinamalayan ko sa lolong sinasabi niya.“Bakit ako papayag?” tanong ko, para sa sarili ko at sa kaniya na rin. “Ni hindi ko nga kilala kung sino iyang lolo na sinasabi mo.”I grew up in an orphanage. I think I was five when I came to the orphanage, but I can’t remember anything before it. Sabi nila baka raw dahil sa trauma, hindi ko alam kung bakit ako ma-to-trauma pero na ako nag-abalang magtanong pa dahil kahit sila hindi rin alam kung ano ba talaga ang totoong dahilan. Kahit kalian hindi ko kilala kung sino

Ilang minuto pa ng pag-da-drive bumungad sa amin ang isang malaking gate. Mabilis iyong bumukas para papasukin kami—‘yong sasakyan syempre. Secluded and so rich-like. Iyan ang nasa utak ko habang nakamasid lang sa paligid. “This is where your home will be from now on.” Can I really call it home? I pondered quietly while gently staring at the exquisite landscaping around us. “Our families shared their lots; your house is on the right part while ours is on the left part. There is a park in the middle of it,” dagdag na paliwanag niya. Saktong pagkakasabi niya noon, namataan ko ang park na sinasabi niya. There’s a big fountain at the middle which is why it could be easily seen. There’s a gazebo too near a big tree which helps cover the blaring sunlight. “This is so beautiful…” I muttered. That was supposed to be for my mind only, but I couldn’t help myself. “Of course, it was your mother who designed that. Gusto niya raw k

Napilitan akong sumakay sa isa sa mga kotse na naka-park sa bahay. Wala akong pwedeng masakyan na iba bukod dito, malayong lakarin ang mangyayari kapag tinaasan ko pa ang pride ko. Maalam naman ako mag-drive dahil tagahatid at sundo ako ng mga bata dati sa orphanage kapag busy iyong director namin. Wala rin si Killian na pwedeng maghatid sa akin sa pupuntahan ko. Thanks to the maps, I wasn’t lost although it was my first time driving from there. Bago dumiretso, dumaan muna ako sa grocery store para mamili ng pwedeng pampasalubong sa mga bata. Nostalgia filled my whole body as I park the car in front of the orphanage where I grew up. It was because I know, this will be the last time I could visit here. Kung magkakaroon man ako ng pagkakataon sa hinaharap, gusto ko kapag hinarap ko sila may maipagmamalaki na ako. I want them to experience bragging to other people instead of being criticized for being an orphan. Kasi bakit ba sa amin lagi napupunta ang

“Why are you here? I thought you didn’t want to meet me anymore?” His eyes are as sharp as knife while staring at me. I got lucky. Pinapanalangin ko pa lang na makita siya rito sa may park dahil hindi ko alam kung saan ang bahay nila at paano siya tatawagan.“Ayan ba ang rason kung bakit hindi ka pumunta sa bahay kahit sinabi mo kagabi na pupunta ka?” pagtatanong ko sa kaniya pabalik. Napaigtad ang katawan ko dahil sa lamig ng simoy ng hangin na biglang umihip sa direksyon namin. I thought I forgot something while going out and now I remember it. Jacket. The moon is already near its peak, tulog na rin ang tao sa bahay ng lumabas ako. I was also supposed to sleep, but I can’t get this off my head. Kailangan ko ng sabihin sa kaniya bago pa mahuli ang lahat. As a result, lumabas ako ng bahay ng pantulog lang ang suot ko, just a pair of pajamas, and it wasn’t thick enough to fight the freezing night breeze. “Dapat hindi ka na lang lumabas,” aniya habang naka

"Sorry about my wife. She's really just excited to meet you." The man in front of me smiled at me after getting the woman who suddenly hugged me away from me. I stared at him, gulat pa rin sa pangyayari. "She's just so curious about Lillian's daughter. You grew up into a fine lady, hija," dugtong niya. Lillian is my mother's name, ayon sa kanila while Adrien is my father's name. I read from my grandfather's journal that my name was derived from my father's name. Ganoon daw kamahal ni nanay ko ang tatay ko. She must be closed with my mother, well it is given since close ang mga lolo namin. She looked at me, teary eyed. I panicked internally. Hindi ko naman intensyong paiyakin siya. Sila ang may gusto na dalhin ako rito. "Don't cry, Annie." His hushed voice trying to calm down his wife is very soothing. Yumakap naman iyong babae sa kaniya habang pinapatahan niya ito. They haven't introduced themselves, but I already have a clue about their identity. Halata naman sa

My hands were sweaty as Killian held my hand to escort me down the stairs. It was neverending and the light is too blinding for me to check their reaction. I tried to mask off my nervousness so that they won't have any opinion over me, but the murmurs doesn't stop there. May mangilan-ngilan pa ring nagtatanong kung bakit nakasuot ako ng maskara. Even the piano and violin instrumental playing in the background can't contain their whispers. I sighed inwardly. Wala na naman akong magagawa. All I just have to do is stop myself from making any mistakes para wala na silang mapuna pa. I know doing this is risking not just my reputation, but also Killian's family. "Chin up. Don't mind them." I gasped loudly inside of me, trying to control my emotion outside. I didn't expected him to cheer me up like that. Maikli lang 'yon, pero ayos na 'yon kung siya ang pinag-uusapan natin dito. "Again, I introduced you to my son and his future wife, the lost heiress of Montie

I didn't slept a wink last night. Killian, however, after our talk yesterday didn't went home kaya hindi ko na siya nakausap matapos niya akong iwan sa lounge dahil sa trabaho niya. At dahil sa ginawa niyang 'yon naiwan lang naman akong nakanganga sa sinabi niya. Bakit ba ang sweet niya. Hindi naman siya sobra compared sa ibang tao pero knowing his personality, sobra na 'yon 'no."I told you to sleep early." Kierra said after watching me yawn nonstop."Oh please let me off, Kierra."Hindi ko kasalanan, okay. Gising, Adri kaya lang siya ganoon kasi nagpapasalamat 'yon at makukuha na niya inheritance niya. Stop being shaken with the bare minimum, Adri!Kulang na lang ay sampalin ko na ang mukha ko para magising ako. It's really good to know that I'll be separated from him for weeks. I need to gather myself or else I'll suffer tremendously if I let myself be drawn to him."Ano ba kasing ginawa mo?""Nothing," I groaned. "Can we please forget this is happening?""Fine." Kierra sighed as

It's been a week since I moved with Killian. Walang masyadong nabago sa buhay ko, kung meron man mas tumahimik iyon.Sa buong pitong araw na yon, dalawang beses lang umuwi si Killian. Sa parehong beses pa na iyon ay madaling araw na siya dumating kaya hindi na rin kami nagkita. May dumadating na naglilinis tuwing umaga pero ayon na 'yon. Basically, mag-isa lang ako sa bahay niya sa buong linggong nagdaan. Ginamit ko ang mga araw na iyon para ensayuhin ang script. Saktong bukas ay aalis na kami papunta sa pag-shu-shooting-an namin. "Sigurado ka bang naayos mo na lahat ng gamit mo? Ayaw mo namang sabihin sa akin ang address mo. Hindi ka rin tumira sa provided na condo ng kumpaniya. Siguraduhin mo lang na hindi sa kung saan-saan ka natutulog ha." Kanina pang paulit-ulit si Kierra sa tabi ko. Paano ko ba naman kasi sasabihin sa kaniya 'yong address ko e bahay ng boss niya ako nakatira. "Don't worry, Kierra. Nasa tamang bahay ako. Walang magiging scandal dahil dito. I promise."Matalim

"...this will be your room. I figured that you won't like for us to stay in one room, so I readied this room for you to use. Most of the times, I sleep in the office, so you have the whole house for yourself," he said, concluding the end of the house tour. Bigla siyang tumalikod sa akin na ikinataka ko. "This is my room, just across yours. Feel free to knock if you need anything as long as I sleep here," turo niya sa itim na pintong nasa tapat lang ng pintuan ng magiging kwarto ko. Tumango ako habang diretso ang tingin sa pintong 'yon. I wonder how his room looks like. Buong bahay niya kasi ay simple lang. Halata mong lalaki ang nakatira. Bigla tuloy akong na-te-tempt na lagyan naman ng dekorasyon ang magiging bahay namin. Yes, namin. Pareho na kaming titira dito mula ngayon. "I'll cook for us, first while you are tidying your things. Kahit hindi mo na agad ayusin lahat. Just organize your daily necessities for now para hindi ka matagalan," aniya habang naglalakad papunta sa

"What is happening?" Gulat na gulat ang mukha ni tita habang nakatingin sa aming dalawa ni Killian na bitbit ang mga gamit ko. Pabalik-balik ang tingin niya sa maleta at sa akin.Magsasalita na sana ako ng biglang nagsalita si Killian. "I am bringing my wife with me, auntie."Muntik na akong mapairap nang matindi ng marinig iyon mula sa kaniya. How could he...? Hirap na hirap nga akong tawagin siyang asawa ko, pero heto siya parang wala. Kapal ng mukha ba 'yan o sadyang mataas lang confidence niya sa sarili niya? Pero bakit parang parehas lang naman 'yon? Ay ewan ko. "W-Wife?" Tita was seemingly disgusted, but it was just for a moment. Syempre pa-good shot 'yan kay Killian e. As if naman may chance 'yong anak niya sa isang 'to. Kahit pumuti ang uwak, lumipad ang baboy, o maghiwalay kaming dalawa alam kong walang pag-asa ang anak niya. Kaya lang naman sila nakakalapit sa pamilya nila Killian dahil magkakilala mga lol

Bumaba na agad ako ng sasakyan pagkatigil noon sa harap ng bahay namin. As usual, hatid-sundo ako ng driver namin tuwing lumalabas ako ng bahay. Okay naman iyong driver, pero hindi siya nagsasalita sa buong byahe. Hindi ko alam kung professional ba siya o ayaw niya lang akong kausap. Kaya madalas kapag nasa byahe ako, nakikinig lang ako ng music habang nakatanaw sa may bintana. Halos bilangin ko na ang mga puno na nadaraan namin tuwing lumalabas ako sa sobrang bored ko. Huminga ako nang malalim bago binuksan ang pinto. Kung papipiliin, ayoko muna sanang umuwi rito, pero naghihintay 'yong driver sa akin. Na sana pala hinayaan ko na lang siyang maghintay. "HOW DARE YOU!" Marahas na bumaling pakanan ang mukha ko. I gritted my teeth while feeling the pain from that sudden action. Galit na binaling ko pauna ang mukha ko. Bumungad ang namumulang mukha ni Reina sa akin. Her eyes were bloodshot as her left hand was suspended in the air as if ready to hit me once agai
The Rise of the Fallen Star Chapter 13
In our life we experience ups and down. Sometimes one is much more than the other one. But it's okay. It's normal. In life we can't just be happy or sad all the time right? We undergo changes that we never realize would actually happen to us. Para ka na lang nitong biglang sinampal at sinabing, "Oh ayan bahala ka na mag-adjust ha." At ang sitwasyon ko ngayon ay isang magandang halimbawa para dito."This is the first time we met, right? First time ko rin maghawak ng D-list actress, pero ngayong nandito ka na sa Golden at handle kita. I'll make sure to make you an A-list actress," the girl in front of me who introduced herself as my new manager determinedly said. "It's my pleasure, Miss?"Tumaas ang kilay niya saka payak na tumawa. Kinain naman ako ng kaba. Habang naghihintay ng sagot niya, ilang beses ko ng nakagat ang labi ko."Kierra. I wonder if you're playing dumb or you really don't know who I am. To say that you are in the industry

Never in my life that I thought I would end up like this. My long time boyfriend dumping our relationship just for his bitch and being a jerk for dirtying our love like that. I don't even know if I should call it love at this point. Hindi ko mapigilang hindi kuwestyunin ang relasyon namin noon sa utak ko. He didn't even tried to contact me! Ni isang sorry wala akong narinig mula sa kaniya. Some part of me is still waiting for him. Naghihintay pa rin ako ng sorry niya. Na baka kapag ginawa niya 'yon mapapatawad ko pa siya at malay mo naman nagbago na siya 'di ba. But everytime I look at the ring on my finger it feels like reality is slapping me too hard. I am married, sa ibang tao pa, sino ako para maghangap pa ng ibang lalaki. "Gosh Adrienne. Kung ano-anong iniisip mong babae ka." Mahina kong hinampas ang noo ko. Pinagpatuloy ko na ulit ang pagluluto ng beef steak. Iyon kasi agad ang una kong nakita pagkabukas ko ng ref kanina kaya itinuloy ko na.

Killian didn't kissed me on the lips. I looked at him kinda shock. Nilapit niya ang mukha niya sa akin saka bumulong sa tainga ko."I won't take your lips for granted. Let the right man take your lips himself."That was what he said after seeing my confusion. Mas lalong kumunot ang noo ko sa sinabi niya. To be clear, I am not disappointed that he didn't kiss me on the lips. I was just shocked… I didn't expect him to be that kind of man."You two, take care on your way okay." Nag-aalala ang mukha ni Tita Annie nang makalapit siya sa amin. Hinawakan niya ang kamay ko kaya napunta roon ang mga mata ko."I should've not agreed at all," she added.
