Dawn of the Lion

章 19

"2 days na siyang hindi umuuwi, I don't know where he's sleeping. I don't know if he's okay. He's not replying on my texts! Pakiramdam ko ang sama ko,"

I sighed before drinking on my coffee, I'm out with my College friends. I called them because I felt lonely, gusto kong may makausap at higit sa lahat, kailangan ko ng love advice! Magdadalawang araw nang hindi umuuwi si Jackie! I don't know what to do, ganon ba siya kagalit sa akin? 

"2 days pa lang naman besh, malay mo nagpapalamig lang." Jane told me. "Atsaka malay mo busy din sa work." Tama nga naman, maybe I'm just overthinking too much. But he's not replying on my texts?! I'm scared to call him naman. Uh! I don't know.

"Wag mong isipin masiyado, Selene.. Tama si Jane, maybe he's just having his own 'me time' para makapag-isip isip." Caroline caressed my hair, may point din naman siya. I just need to give him time to think?! THINK ABOUT WHAT?! Hihiwalayan niya 'ko ganon?! No, this can't be!!

"Maybe nasaktan lang talaga siya, that's why he decided to... leave for a while." Beatrice told me. 

While listening to their love advices, I couldn't stop from thinking. Iba't iba ang naiisip ko, what if he's getting ready to leave me? What if he doesn't want me na? What if he's tired of me? What if... argh! I don't know! He doesn't want the spotlight, I know that. But also, he doesn't want me to be in the spotlight with someone. 

I also want myself to be in my own spotlight with no one because there, I can prove everyone that I made it by myself! that I did it by my own!

After that coffee date with my friends, I went straight to Premiere Media to have a meeting with my manager. It's about my upcoming projects, and not personal stuffs. Buti na lang. When I arrived at the place, the meeting started immediately. I wasn't in the mood to talk or what so I just agree and agree, ang manager ko na rin naman ang bahala.

The meeting ended quickly, I was on the escalator when I saw a familiar Director. I walked towards her. "Director Sky!" I smiled at her and held her hand. "Finally, we saw each other again!" 

"Oh, Hi! Hi, Selene! Andito ka rin pala?" She gave me a hug, mukhang gulat na gulat pa nong makita ako. "Grabe, I watched your new movie! Congratulations, okay? You did really great! Gusto na tuloy kitang kunin para sa isang project!" She laughed a bit.

"Direk, thank you!" I smiled at her, a Director who directed some Hollywood movies just complimented me! My heart! "I'm looking forward to work with you, Direk!" I told her.

"Me too, I'm also looking forward to work with you, Selene!" She gave me a comforting smile, she's really an Idol. Buti, hindi siya pinagkakaguluhan dito. Pero understandable naman. "Uh, I'm sorry but I need to go." She said when someone called her name.

"Sky, let's go?" When I looked at the one who talked, I guess, It's her mother. They have similarities. "Oh, Selene Wang. Hi!" She greeted me, she knows me?! Wow.

"H-Hi, Ma'am!" I smiled.

"Selene, this is my Mom, Selene." Direk Sky laughed a bit when she introduced us to each other. Magkapangalan pala kami ng Mommy niya! Ang cute.
