"Are you sure, you will be alright?" muling tanong sa kaniya ni Vernon. She almost rolled her eyes. 

Era smiled at Vernon bago niya kunin ang backpack that contained her laptop and other essentials tuwing may mga shoot sila.

"Opo, Daddy. Huwag masyadong mag-alala. Kapag napagod ako, magpapahinga ako."

"I'll fetch you, hon." Vernon cupped her face before planting a soft kiss on her lips.

"And I will wait for you." She closed her eyes when Vernon kissed her forehead, the tip of her nose, and finally her lips. She couldn't help but smile happily. 

"If something—"

"Yes, boss!" Era gave him a quick peck on the lips. Kinawayan niya ito bago lumulan ulit sa sasakyan at umalis.

"Ma'am, ito na po ang chronological sequencing of scenes." Iniabot ni James ang checklist.

She may disagree on Michelle's idea, since she was the boss, pinagbigyan niya ito. Naalala pa niya nang banggitin niya ito kay Vernon na siya ang gagawing lead actress, the idea did not sit well with Vernon, lalo na at kasama roon si Zenith. He strongly disagreed and argued with Michelle. 

Ang ending? It would be the Ballesteros couple, Michelle and Zenith. Ang kanilang masalimuot na love triangle?

Sumasakit ang ulo niya sa kagustuhan ni Michelle. She even hired a cinematographer from Hollywood para ma-edit ang baby bump nito. She discussed with her the budget, mabuti na lamang at family friend ng mga ito ang may-ari ng nasabing fast-food chain. 

As a businesswoman, she never mixed business with pleasure. Tulad ng ginawa ni Michelle. Yes, the budget was out of her pocket, but from a business standpoint? Not advisable.

She deeply sighed. She needed to visit each tent. Mabuti na lamang at per couple, maiiwasan niya ang magkasolo sila ni Zenith.

Sa ngayon ay inaayusan na ang mga ito sa air-conditioned tents para sa scene ng mga ito sa simbahan. Pumasok muna siya sa tent ng mag-asawang Sujuico.

"Hi, Era! You are looking more gorgeous!" Tumayo si Michelle at sinalubong siya ng beso.

She could feel Zenith's eyes boring into her. Pilit nitong kinukuha ang kaniyang tingin. Mataktika niyang naiwasan ang mga titig nito. 

Zenith caught her off guard nang tumayo ito at bumeso sa kaniya. She could feel his possessive touch. She almost closed her eyes from the familiarity of his scent and warmth. Mabuti na lamang at nakatalikod siya kay Michelle at sa mga tao sa loob ng tent.

She lightly pushed him off. "The first scene is Steph entering the church walking down the aisle. Everything will be in slow motion. Zenith will look likely to be the groom, but he's the best man and Alexis is the groom. And you are one of the bridesmaids.''

Tiningnan niyang muli ang mag-asawa. "Copied?" she asked them and they just nodded. 

"I'll be with the Ballesteros couple. See you later!" She waved them goodbye at pumasok sa tent nina Steph and Alex.

"Era! Oh my god! I missed you!" Stephanie almost tore the tent down sa tili nito. 

Napalingon siya sa mister nito na todo iling.

"I will brief you—"

Stephanie cut her off.  "Nah, alam ko na 'yan." Iginiya siya nito paupo. Stephanie signalled the staff to go out. Nang makalabas ang mga ito, Stephanie held her hand and looked straight into her eyes laced with genuine concern.

"How are you?" ani Steph.

Era awkwardly smiled. "I am doing fine, Steph. Vernon and I are back with each other—"
