[Breaking News: While the identity of the author of "A Normal Person" remains a mystery, the book has won the most prestigious Hiraya Manawari Awards for Best Novel seven times starting its release in 2000. It is also the first book-turned-musical in the history of Philippine Theater. That's why the recently viral video of Musical Actress Yuki Sarmiento has garnered the attention of...]
"Ihinto mo," utos ni Yuki kay Aciel na siya noong nagmamaneho ng kotse.
"'Wag mo nang pakinggan. Hindi makatutulong sa'yo."
"Narinig ko na."
Isang seryosong titig lang ni Yuki kay Aciel, agad hininto ng huli ang pagmamaneho. Tinaas nila pareho ang tingin sa malaking monitor ng isang broadcasting station.
[The public stands by the artist and protests against the higher-ups to take responsibility. In line with this, both Silver Dust Theater and A&H Entertainment have decided to postpone the same musical until next year. This caused a great decline in both companies' trustworthiness rate as they were originally set to open the theaters next week. A&H specially had the lowest percentage as they were the first theater to have produced the 'distorted' musical version. On contrary, other theaters will continue...]
"Dad..." si Aciel.
"Will he be okay? Maaapektuhan na naman lahat ng pinaghirapan niya dahil sa'kin."
[Some are questioning both Silver Dust and A&H if the sudden decision is also linked with the past controversies of former Musical Actress Lianne Suarez, now Ballerina Lianne Cosmo, and A&H Entertainment President Hanz Gutierrez. A&H was formerly known as The Life Theater Company.]
"The board meeting went well last time. The investors will surely back out..."
Napayuko si Yuki sa naging tugon ni Aciel. Lumingon siya pabalik sa huli, bago kinuha ang phone sa kaniyang bag.
"Magandang hapon," pagbati niya sa kausap sa telepono. "Gusto ko sanang makipagkita. Kung pwede ka ngayong gabi, I'll go to your station. I have a story for you."
Bago pa man makapagtanong si Aciel, binaba na ni Yuki ang telepono at tumingin sa binata.
"I'm meeting a reporter tonight. Gusto mong sumama?" pag-aya niya.
"Okay. Pero... magiging ayos ka lang ba? Sa tono ng pagbati mo kanina, halatang hindi mo kaibigan 'yun."
"No'ng nag-uumpisa pa lang akong makilala sa industriya, madalas niya akong sundan. Alam niya ang address ng bahay ko, at mga lugar na palagi kong pinupuntahan. Kabilang na ang ospital na kinalakihan ko."
Napakunot ang noo ni Aciel dahil sa pinaghalong gulat, pag-aalala at galit dahil sa narinig.
"He found out everything about me in a flash. And all it took for other people to know my story... was one click on the article that he released without my consent."
"Bakit hindi mo pinaalam sa kanila? Pinag-aalala mo sila sa ginagawa mo. Umuwi ka na."
"I regret it. That my life has become too open after I left the hospital. Ngayon ko na lang ulit naintindihan na may mga bagay na hindi na kailangang malaman ng iba."
"At sa kaniya mo ngayon ipagkakatiwala ang sitwasyon?"
"I'll use him," may halong galit na sagot ni Yuki. "It'd be easy since he's been too hungry for an exclusive."
