Where do I stand? (Cradles Of the Past Series 2)

"Candidate number 9!!! Umayos ka, sa left ka nga dadaan, eh! Tanga tanga!" Sigaw ng trainer namin at napapikit nanaman ako dahil uulit nanaman kami nito.

My gosh! Why can't she just put it in her head?!

"From the top, ladies!" The choreographer said and clapped his hands together as I sighed dahil pang anim na from the top na to dahil mali mali yung ibang babae.

"Hay nako, yung ibang kandidata dyan, don't expect na makaka place kayo. We'll see you again tomorrow. Remember, mag diet and make sure naka pag fitting na kayo sa mga designers nyo." The trainer ranted again once we were done with our rehearsals and dumeretso na ako sa powder room to freshen up.

I'm wearing my gym clothes for our rehearsals and I just changed my top because I was sweating.

I'm going to have my gown fitting after. Jed's waiting for me sa botique ng designer ko. It's in Mandaue City. Once I was done lumabas na ako ng powder room para maka alis na.

"Vivo, my gosh! may nag hahanap sayo dun. Ang gwapo! He said he's your fiancé? We didn't know you even had a boyfriend!" Bungad sakin ng isang kandidata at kinabahan naman ako.

It's Evo, for sure! What the hell is he doing here?!

I excused myself and went back to where we had our rehearsals and there.

Looking dashing in his white dress shirt tucked in his black slocks and hair neatly fixed.

He's talking with some of our trainers.

"Oh, there she is." He said as he looked at me seriously parang nag laho ang lokong Evo nakasama ko kagabi, who was always smirking and chuckling as if he finds every situation funny.

He walked towards me.

"What the hell are you doing here?" I whispered when he was in front of me and to my surprise, he pulled me into him and hugged me.

"I told you already, you'll be seeing more of me." He whispered back and pulled away from our hug.

I swear I had goosebumps when he touched me.

"Vivo, is it true ba? You're getting married?!" Ani ng isang trainer halatang hindi makapaniwala.

Parang nakalimotan ko na kung paano gumalaw. I don't know what to say or how to act and Evo is acting so weird na parang ang tagal na namin magkakilala.

"Oh, mama. Itong si Evo talaga kung ano ano ang sinasabi." I replied and faked a laugh as I glanced over at Evo na seryoso na ang tingin sa akin ngayon.

"Well, wag muna dahil may pageant ka pa at may susunod pa. Mr. Walton can wait naman ata, dba?" Ani ng trainer at tumawa kay Evo at kinabahan naman ako bigla baka mabuking kami na hindi talaga close at kakakilala lang.

"Of course. Whatever my fiancé wants, Arthur." Evo replied in a serious tone as he smiled at me.

"I'm really really surprised that you knew each other at magkasintahan pa pala kayo! You guys really stayed lowkey, huh? Hindi naman ata kayo bago lang if you're already engaged!" Arthur said almost hysterical!

Mas lalo akong kinabahan.

"That's how you do it, Arthur. Keep what matters the most private para walang makasira." EVO replied and I was surprised with his answer. Ang plastic.

"Maka Arthur naman to! Ang ganda ko kaya! Anyway, matagal ko na kasi kayong kilala so I never thought. Tsaka akala ko you were with Ivy-"

"Oh, let's not go there. Someone might start an argument again." Putol ni Evo kay Arthur at tumawa pa while I totally got what he's trying to imply!
