My Agonizing Alliums (TayNew au)

MAA 3: Photoshoot

"I haven't seen the newbie" was the first word that came out of my mouth when we entered the company. I actually said it to myself. Pagkatapak na pagkatapak ko sa loob ay agad kong iginala ang tingin ko sa pagaakalang makikita ko kaagad sya.

It is already 8 am and we have a photoshoot for a certain magazine at 10 am. Of course, we need to prepare first kaya inagahan ko na din. Mabilis na lumipas ang araw. Tapos na ang home vacation ko at ngayon na nga ang simula ng busy schedule namin. I am talking about Gun. Nakabalik na din sya sa trabaho ngayon at wala akong ibang natanggap kundi puro reklamo mula sa kanya. He even called me early in the morning (take note it was just freaking five in the morning and I am still in a deep sleep that time if he just didn't bother me) to rant about not wanting to go back to work today. But of course, he has no choice. And so am I. Habang nasa sasakyan kami kanina papunta rito, ibinigay na sakin ni P"Jack ang schedule ko for the whole week. Pinasadahan ko lang naman iyon ng tingin dahil nagfocus nalang muna ako sa schedule ko ngayong araw na to at kaunahan nga sa sched ay yung photoshoot.

"Early in the morning and you are already looking for him? What did he do to get your full attention to him? I thought 'kung ayaw nya makipagusap edi wag'. hmm?" Gun snickered beside me. I haven't even noticed his presence not until I heard his annoying voice.

I look at him at pinasadahan sya ng tingin mula ulo hanggang paa. Mukhang kararating nya lang din pero mas nauna sya kesa sakin. He is in his casual and usual outfit. Parang hindi nagrant sakin kaninang umaga ah. Ayos na ayos ang suot.

"My point is we are having a photoshoot with him. How could he be so late? Talking about punctuality, Gun. Model pa man din sya."

"Whatever Newwiee pero bago ka magsalita ng ganyan I am glad to inform you that he is already on the set. Kanina pa po sya naghihintay dun, sir. And for the record Mr. Punctual, ikaw nalang ang inaantay para maagang masimulan ang photoshoot."

Napalingon naman ako sa sinabi nya. What? Ako nalang ang hinihintay? Napakamot naman ako sa ulo at alanganing ngumiti sa kanya. Napahiya ako dun ah. Bakit naman ang aga nila? 2 hours pa naman bago ang photoshoot ah. I can see and hear Gun laughing at my reaction kaya naman inirapan ko sya.

The venue is in a private garden. Inilibot ko ang tingin sa buong paligid. Everything is green. A heaven place for me. I wonder kung may alliums dito. I really grew fond of alliums nowadays. Hanggang ngayon hindi padin ako nakakahanap ng seller. It was a usual garden full of beautiful plants and flowers. The difference is that it is quite big making it more looking like a park. Mayroon itong mga bench and tables. May nakita pa nga akong fountain eh. Though wala itong waterfalls. It will be surely be more beautiful kung may umaagos na tubig mula dito.

Luckily, malapit lang yung set kung saan kami magpophotoshoot at mabilis lang din akong naayusan. Good thing that my clothes are ready and easy to wear.

Gun was right. When I reached the venue andun na sya. I am talking about the newbie. Unlike the first time I saw him, he looks more professional. The sight was a little bit enticing for me. Tay looks so different. I just don't know where the 'difference' is coming from. Maybe with the way he is dressed right now or the looks on his face screams like he is more comfortable in this kind of surrounding. Well, of course he is. I may be doubting his skills in acting or interacting with other people but I did not doubt his model posture. He really gives an aura of a model lalo na ngayong nasa set kami.

"You might wanna take your eyes off him or he's gonna melt" I jumped when I felt and hear someone whispered to my right ear.

I looked at the person who dared to annoy the hell out of me at napakunot ang noo ko ng mapatanto ko kung sino ito.
