Shelter In You (MASVEDO SERIES #2)

Kabanata 33

"Perfect! So tomorrow we'll change the setting." My forehead creased when I heard what Mr. Cruz' said.

".....Tomorrow we'll be going to Masvedo, we need to shoot a commercial video in the main factory and in the plantation."

Agad nanlaki ang mga mata ko saka gulat na tumayo.

"What?"

He smiled. "We are going in Masvedo Miss Bella."

Padabog akong tumqyo saka sarcastic na tumawa.

"I am not going in that place, never........"
....again

Agad akong bumalik na dressing room ko ng walang kahit anong emosyon. I know they're curious and shocked but I don't care. If they will pull this project from me then go, I don't like this one in the dirst place.

I can't go back in Masvedo. I don't wanna go back in Masvedo.

"Bella" galit na tawag ni Joey pero umupo lang ako sa harap ng salamin.

If he only know....... How can I go back to the place where I found..... contentment?How can go back to the place where I got hurt?

"Act like a professional Bella. Stop acting like a childish here. You are a model and they are paying you. I had enough, once we get here you act like a spoiled brat. Be professional." Pigil galit na sabi ni Joey sa akin kaya agad namuo ang luha sa gilid ng mga mata ko.

Umiling-iling ako sa kaniya kaya mas lalong naging masakit ang tingin niya sa akin.

"No, whether you like it or not we'll go in that goddamn place. You are here to work. You're a supermodel right?....Act like one, I am so disappointed."

Bahagsak niyang sinara ang pinto ng dressing room. Inis kong pinunasan ang luha na kumawala sa mga mata ko saka napatinghala.

I am not yet ready to go back in Masvedo. I will get hurt by my,...our memories there. I can't. I can't risk it again.

Hindi ko makalimutan na sa lugar na 'yon panandalian kong nahanap ng tahanan ko. Panandalian rin akong nakontento. I can't forget hwo I smiled, laughed and cried in that place. I don't wanna get hurt again.

"You're going in Masvedo?" Gulat na sabi ni Bianca sa kabilang linya.

Matamlay akong napabuntong hininga.

"Yeah, tomorrow." Malungkot siyang tumawa sa kabilang linya.

"Then see you there? I have a shoot tomorrow in Masvedo. See you Bella, let's face the memories together."

Natahimik ako hanggang sa matapos ang tawag. Bianca won't say anything but I know, I know something happened when I'm away. I knew it, I am not her bestfriend for nothing.

The next day, I am ao mad and disappointed because I couldn't do something. I need to come with them in Masvedo.

Pilit ko pinapaalala sa sarili ko na okay na ako. I already moved on. I am now completely fine. I could face it. But even how many times I force my self I can't deny the fact that my heart can't stop beating so fast and it's hurting me. I am hurting just thinking that I'll go back in Masvedo. I am hurting whenever I think that I mighy see the places I used to go with Dave. I am hurting.

"Don't be so hardheaded Bella." Galit na sabi ni Joey kaya tumayo ako at sumunod sa kaniya.

I will come but I asked a favor. After the shoot I will immediately go back here in Manila. I won't stay there even for a night. Last na shoot na 'yon namin kaya pwede na akong lumipad pabalik sa New York. Pagkatapos ng shoot babalik ako agad dito para dalawin si Daddy tapos New York na kaagad.
