The Rise of the Fallen Star Chapter 7
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

Malakas na tunog ng sampal ang namayani sa buong bahay pagkapasok ko. Marahas na pumaling pakanan ang mukha ko. Naalis ang ngiti sa labi ko ng may malasahang makalawang sa labi ko. "HOW DARE YOU?!" Ginamit ko ang daliri ko upang pahiin ang dugo na namuo dahil sa pagkakasampal ni tita sa akin. I looked at her fiercly. "How dare you!" pabalik kong tanong sa kaniya. She folded for a second. "I clearly told you to live quietly, haven't I? Pasalamat ka at kailangan mong humarap sa tao kaya ngayon lang kita nasampal, pero sinasabi ko sa 'yo, itigil mo 'yang kahibangan. Call Killian and stop the engagement now!"My eyebrows shot up and a sneer came out from my mouth. "Did I even say that I would live quietly? If I remember it was only you who said that and I didn't agree nor disagree about it. And stop the engagement for what? To please you? No way!" Lumapit ako sa kaniya nang dahan-dahan saka ngumisi at mabilis siyang sinampal na hindi niya

With a formal dress, we immediately went to the car and start our journey. The whole ride was silent and awkward. Magkatabi kami ni Tita Anissa sa likod kasmaa namin iyong driver na tahimik lang din. "Observe your manners. I won't save you if you ever humiliate yourself there," banta ni tita sa akin. Lumingon ako sa kaniya na mabilis ko ring inalis dahil busy pa rin siya sa pagbabasa ng dokumento sa hawak nitong tablet. I couldn't read it properly from my distance. "You don't have to worry about that, tita. It's so not like you. Wouldn't it be in your favor if I humiliate myself there?"Her eyebrows shot up and stopped from reading."I would be glad, but I'll be introducing you as my niece today. It won't do me any good."I snickered while tapping my fingers on my lap. Sa may bintana lang naka-focus ang tingin ko habang nakikipag-usap sa kaniya. "And it's not like the board will like you anyway. Just be a good girl t

After my visitation to the company my days passed by like a blur. Halos si Tita Annie na ang kasama ko sa buong araw dahil sa pag-aayos namin ng kasal. Si Killian naman at si Tito ay busy sa trabaho. Minsan kasama rin namin ang lolo ni Killian na palaging maraming baong storya tungkol sa pamilya ko. I am slowly getting to know my family because of him. Ang sitwasyon naman sa bahay ay ganoon pa rin. Tita Anissa can't do anything. Busy rin siya sa paghahanap ng clue kung sino iyong bagong artista ng Golden na kasama lang naman niya lagi sa bahay. Si Reina, iyon pinsan ko ay ilang araw na ring masama ang mood dahil doon. They're fun to watch though. I wonder what would happen if they realize the one they're looking for. Nakausap ko na rin iyong dati kong manager tungkol sa termination ng kontrata at wala naman daw problema dahil ayos na lahat. She said they didn't want to let go of me at first, but they had no choice. Golden's representative actually pinpo

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.

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.

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

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

"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.

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
