Falling to the Spotlight

Chapter 39

Chapter 39 

Ruined 

Now I know why some people are always scared of being happy dahil may mga pagkakataon talaga na babawiin yung saya na naramdaman mo at papalitan niya ng sakit at lungkot. Yung kahit na anong subok mo na wag isipin na mawawala yung saya hindi mo din magawa. 

"How's Gray?" I asked Michael while my head is on his lap and he is caressing my hair. We are at my rest house having some time together after filing a leave for work. 

"Alam niya naman na ang pwedeng mangyari. Sheena is getting worse everyday and the doctor already said na wala na talagang pag-asa, I know Gray he is also affected because Sheena is also important to him." he said and I can feel the worry on his voice. Alam ko din naman yun pero ano ba naman ang magagawa ni Gray sakit na ang kalaban nung babae. 

"Si Brian? Nahanap niya na ba hinahanap niya?" I asked at umiling naman si Michael. 

"He is not talking to me about that matter but by the looks of it mukhang hindi pa din but he looks fine though." Tumango na lang ulit ako with a pout in my lips and when I look at Michael he is looking at me with his serious expression. 

"What?" I asked trying not to laugh or even smile. 

"Why are you asking about them? Seriously, Chandria?" he asked looking frustrated kaya hindi ko na napigilan pa yung pagtawa ko while he just roll his eyes on me at mabilis na tumayo sa couch kaya nawalan ako ng hinihigaan but i just continue laughing while he is in front of me just watching me laugh. 

"Gosh, Michael Landon! Ngayon mo pa naisipan pagselosan mga kaibigan mo kung kailan nandito ka na? Did you forgot that while you are in New York I often hang out with Casper and Gray at wala ka namang sinasabi." I said trying not to laugh again for me to speak clearly. 

"You have an interview later, right? Get ready." he said at tinalikuran na ako kaya mas lalo na lang akong natawa bago siya sundan and I saw him diving in the pool kaya napailing na lang ako. Wala na atang nasabi. 

I have a zoom later it's just an interview and Jayce is also there and I'm sure matatanong na naman ako about my acting career na hindi ko na naman alam paano sasagutin because I know as of the moment I am happy doing modeling because I can spent more time than doing acting dahil laging may taping kaya lagi akong nasa set not like when I am doing modeling after the fashion show I can stroll around or rest if I wanted to. 

I enter our room and I am looking for something to wear. Hindi naman kailangan ng matinding preparation sa susuotin ko because I can wear whenever I want dahil interview lang naman yun and Michael's black longsleeves caught my attention kaya yun na lang ang kinuha ko and I put my hair in a ponytail and I put some make up and a silver necklace and I'm good. 

After getting ready pumasok naman si Michael na basa pa yung buhok and he is topless and he is drying his hair and body using the towel. He looked at me from head to toe and stop when he saw what I am wearing. 

"It's mine." he said. 

"Yeah, I just borrowed your clothes. Alam ko namang sa'yo 'to." I said and I saw him shake his head and that confused. 

"Hindi lang naman yung long sleeves ang akin pati na din yung may suot akin din ." he said at mabilis na pumasok ng bathroom and left me shock kaya natawa na lang ako ng saglit pero ramdam ko yung kilig. 

Hindi ko na inantay pa na matapos mag-shower si Michael at mabilis ko na lang na kinuha yung laptop ko at lumabas ng veranda where in there is a table and two chairs at hindi ko na kailangan pa magset-up ng light dahil maliwanag pa naman. 

"Ngayon lang maitatanong 'to sa'yo where you can give a long answer, Chantal but what is really your reaction about your love team's relationship." The host asked at natawa naman si Jayce doon and I just smile and roll my eyes.
