Trials End

Chapter 94

"What an actual fuck!" Claud exclaimed while both his hands were pulling his hair.

Tinapik ni Ely ang bunganga nito. "Ang ingay mo!" Sinamaan lamang siya ng tingin ni Claud.

"Thank you for accepting the request Ma'am Heart." Blanca stepped forward to face Miss Heart. Nagulat kaming lahat nang yumuko si Blanca. "Please be our first model to step into the limelight. Please let me use your confidence to carry my work."

Blanca didn't lift her head and was still waiting for Miss Heart. I looked at Miss Heart's reaction and saw that she was taken aback but quickly regained her composure.

"Lift your head, I am not the queen here. I repeat, I accepted this request to repay you. You're not doing a favor, I'm repaying the favor." Miss Heart uses her serious and authoritative tone. Serysong matang nakatitig pababa kay Blanca.

"Thank you, thank you for saving Juliana. The guilt will eat me if ever I'll end that young woman's career. Thank you for not giving up on her." Now her eyes were full of gratitude and smiled sincerely to us.

It's not just us miss, it's because she has the talents and fans who'll fight for her. Also, she's the woman of the CEO's son.

Blanca raised her head and smiled. Nakahinga naman ako ng maluwag sa nakikita ko. Blanca, bowing for a favor? It's a once in a blue moon moment.

"I'll be the opening model. I'm willing to wear the clothes you'll give, either dirty cloth or trash. Remember, I am just a nation's treasure, you all own me......" Miss Heart made eye contact with everyone.

"Or should I say that I'm willing to be owned by someone like you kiddos." She chuckled.

We thanked her a lot pero agad niya itong tinatanggi. Tinawag naman na nila yung staffs to assist Miss Heart dahil kulang kulang 10 minutes na lang ay magsisimula na ang show. The host is already on the stage entertaining the guests and giving reviews of Anaudia and Cardioid.

When we saw Miss Heart wearing the product of Cardioid and Anaudia, alam kong hindi lang ako ang tumagal ang titig sa kanya. She's not smiling and I think she's trying to grasp the theme of the show.

She closed her eyes in front of the mirror and took a deep breath. Hindi ko mapigilang kilabutan nang buksan niya ang mata niya at tingnan ang sarili niya. She changed her demeanor and the atmosphere around her just like that.

"Goodluck!" Ely cheered her up nang tumuntong na siya sa likuran ng stage. Iniintay na magsimula ang oras nang kanyang paglabas.

We mouthed several encouraging words to her. Nginitian niya lamang kami at nang mag simula ang tugtog ay agad itong tumalikod samin.

Humakbang ito palabas sa harap ng tao at hindi na namin siya nakita. Inangat namin ang tingin sa malaking T.V screen ng backstage para mapanood ang labas.

"Grabe, ang ganda talaga niya." Bulong ni Deborah sa tabi ko habang nanonood pa rin sa screen.

Tumango naman kaming lahat sa sinabi niya. It's true and it's not a sugar coated word.

Ayer chuckled. "Gulat na gulat mga tao oh." Napangiti ako sa sinabi niya dahil talagang napatulala sa kanya ang lahat.

It's because she's the beautiful nation's treasure. And us, the so-called-not big fashion show just invited her into the modeling field.

Sumunod sa kanya si Andrea then followed by the other models. Nakita namin kung paano mag panic ang lahat habang kami ay nakatayo lang. Parang halos lahat ng prinipare at prinactice ng mga models ay nawala.
