Loucy's POV
"Why are you so pretty po? You look like an angel. Ang puti mo rin po masyado." I can't help but to chuckle with what the girl said. I think her age is around three to four years old. Siya ang flower girl namin ni Zildian sa kasal at ang alam ko ay pamangkin niya 'to.

Nagsquat ako para mapantayan ko ang taas niya. "Really, I'm pretty?! But you're pretty as well."

"Shiela! Mommy's calling you. She wanna know why did you destroy her foundation?" Nakakunot nuong sabi ng lalaki na sa tantya ko ay nasa pitong taong gulang na.

Nilingon naman ito ng batang kausap ako. "Wait kuya! Kausap ko pa 'tong magandang mapapangasawa ni tito Zild!" Hindi ko alam kung matatawa ako dahil sinigawan niya ang batang lalaki na kuya niya.

Lalong lumapit sa amin ang lalaki habang nakatitig sa akin. "She's pretty isn't?!" Malaki ang ngiti sa mga labi ng batang babae habang hinihintay ang sagot ng kuya niya.

Then her brother slowly nod while still looking at me. "She's an actress that's why she's that pretty." Maybe he used to see me on television before.

The cute little girl gasped then she touched her cheeks. So adorable! "An actress?! Then she's in the television?!" Gagad pa nito.

Her brother nod again. "Yeah. I saw her a lot of times in the television because mommy is fan of dramas."

"Then I wanna be like her! I want to be an actress also to be that beautiful!" Giit ng batang babae kaya hindi ko na napigilan na haplusin ang kanyang mukha.

It makes me sad that this little girl thought that being an actress will make her beautiful. It is true that when you enter showbiz, you have to pamper yourself so much to look beautiful in the camera and in personal and also to hide the sleepless nights because of work. Despite of your beautiful visual, people will still look for some issues that will destroy your career. Walang artista na nakakaligtas doon at para sa kagaya ko na isang artista noon, isa 'yong traumatic experience.

"You don't have to be an actress to be beautiful baby. You're already beautiful. Just always eat healthy food especially vegetables and fruits because it helps our body not only to be fit but also to make us all beautiful." I said while softly caressing her face.

I can't relate. When I'm very busy with my career, instant noodles is my favorite food. Not really favorite. It's just that I really don't have a choice because I can't cook!

"Really? I hate vegetables a lot! But when it comes to fruits I love them! They're my favorites aside from chocolates and candies." Natawa ako sa sinabi niya.

"You need to eat balance baby. You need to eat all the healthy foods. Okay?"

Pursigido naman itong tumango saka hinila na ang kapatid na lalaki patungo siguro sa ina nila. Pagtayo ko ay saktong may hangin na dumampi sa balat ko kaya napalingon ako roon. Nakita ko si Zildian na ilang pulgada lang ang layo sa akin habang hawak ang isang mini electric fan at nakatapat sa akin.

"Hindi ka ba naiinitan?" He said while staring at me.

Umiling ako. "Medyo lang. Ikaw halatang init na init ka. Pawis na pawis na 'yang polo na suot mo." I said while scanning his polo.

He groaned then he wiped the handkerchief he's holding around his face. "Yeah. Nakatapat kasi yung pwesto ko roon sa malaking electric fan sa loob kaya nung nawalan ng kuryente nag-adjust sa init yung katawan ko."

May sasabihin pa sana ako sa kanya pero hindi ko na natuloy dahil nagsalita na ang bakla na siyang tagapangasiwa nitong pinapractice namin na entourage para sa kasal. "Okay guys! Last three practice na lang po tayo. Kita-kita na lang po ulit tayo sa susunod para sa final practice." Sabi nito at nagsiayusan naman na ang lahat.
