Million Miles Away

Late

"Crap I"m late ba't ba di ako nagising nakakahiya ako"

Nagmamadali akong nagbihis it's 8 am malamang past 9 ako dadating, di na ko kakain para makahabol ako

"Teka asan na nga ba si Bart?"

Nagring ang phone ko and halos magtumbling na ako sa kakamadali na damputing ang phone ko na nahulog pala sa may bedside table ko.

"Cause we started somethin can't you see, that every single day you've got to hold on me no matter what you do I only want to be with y0u"

Yun ang ring tone ko themesong naming.

"Hello Bart asan ka ba't di ka pumunta dito"

"Br0 pasensya na nilagnat ako, ngay0n lang din ako nagising pero pupunta ako jan. Tinatawagan kita kanina kaso ring lang ng ring"

"Ganun ba sige pahinga ka na tatawagan ko sila. Papasundo na lang ako sa driver ni Mom"

"Salamat bro"

Tinawagan ko agad ang producer and huminga ako ng malalim.

"Good morning Ma'am this is Kenneth I would like to inform you na I'll be late but i assure you I'll attend"

Don't be surprised that I did not apologized, yan kasi ang bilin ni Mom sakin. For whatever reason, she always said that I should let anyone have authority on me para magtagal ako sa industry. I know mali ei wala naman akong choie, pag aartista na lang ang meron ako ngayon.

"Okay just be sure you'll be here as the meeting already started"

"Thanks Ma'am"

Then I end the call before I went out.

Yes, I know to say thank you. Yan naman ang tinuro nya sakin, kahit gaano kaliit or kalaki we need to appreciate every thing.

"Sorry, I forgot to greet you go0d morning Berry, kwentuhan kita later"

Mabilis na dumating ang driver ni Mom kasi alam kong takot to mawalan ng trabaho.

Thanks God walang traffic nakarating din ako halos patapos na ang meeting okay lang halos kilala ko naman lahat, I was introduce that will play the lead actor. The press were given time to ask small questions about my character. After about 20-30 minutes, the story con was wrapped up.

Then pictorial with the cast was made , it's another 15 minutes I think.

Afterwards,nilapitan ako ni direk may ipapakilala daw siya sakin, kinalabit niya ang babaeng nakatalik0d

"Kenneth I want you to meet Maita Yisora Rodriguez or Mayi as she preferred to be called. She is our Scriptwriter from Singapore"

"And Mayi this is Kenneth Ignacio the actor that will play as Liam"

I was so shocked that I was only able to say

"Berry"

"Kenneth it's Mayi not Berry, ano ka ba naman nanakahiya kakabanggit ko lang ng name nya. Loko ka talaga"

She's infr0nt of me,

Mayi's infront of me i want to hug her but then she said

"Nice to meet you Mr.Ignacio . I hope it will be a great working experience"

She shook my hand out of nowhere then I said

"Mayi?"

"Kenneth you know her? As it seems like you knew each other"

Then an0ther blow.

"NO! Direk we don't kn0w each other. This is the first time I met personally"

I can't move from where I stand, felt so frozen. Everything stopped and I can't hear anything.

She seem so casual when she said she doesn't kn0w me, then direk tap me again.

"Kenneth okay ka lang you seem lost"

"Direk si Berry? I mean si Mayi?"

"Di mo ba narinig yung sabi niya she need to answer her ph0ne call kaya ayun siya"

"Sige po Direk medyo malalim lang po ang iniisip ko"

I walked towards where she was standing with her back on me. Few steps away, I heard her talking to someone and a thought entered my head.

"Late na din ba ako sa puso mo?
