Bamboo's POV
BAMBOO KISSING HIS NON SHOWBIZ GIRLFRIEND
I read what the caption stated. It's on the front page of the entertainment section of the Manila Bulletin Newspaper.
I'm loving what's happening.
Kriing. Kriing. Kriing.
Morning phone call. I took a glance at my wrist watch. 7:45 a.m. I clutched my phone. Uh-oh. Tita Granny. My manager. Haha. I'm kinda expecting her call, really.
"Hi tita! What's up?"
"What's up ka diyan! What happened?", she said in a not-so -mawkish attitude. About "almost there". Haha.
"What happened? What do you mean?", I asked innocently.
"About the fronter page!", she shouted over the phone and it's kinda debunking my ear.
"Oh", all I can say.
"Who is she?"
"Lea."
"Lea who?"
"Lea Salonga."
"What's up with you and that woman?"
"She's my girlfriend. For the meantime."
"Wait. Are you saying that gagamitin mo siya to get your ca-"
"Yes tita."
"You know what Bamboo? I'm. Not so sure 'bout taking this advancement."
"Tita, bumalik ako dito sa Pilipinas because of one thing. We are both barely aware about kung nasa anong stage ang career ko. I mean the breakdown stage. Dito ko sisimulang buuin ang nasira. I'm doing my primary footfalls for the revision of my career. If you know what I mean."
"Yes of course. Kung sino ang mas nakakaalam sa pinagdadaanan mo. Ako 'yun. Basta bahala ka na. Total tapos na. I'm looking forward for your furtherance. I am hoping na hindi sana ito ang maging triggerpoint ng downfall mo. Second time around. Don't get me wrong. I bet you know what I mean."
"Yes, tita. Trust me."
I ended the call. I'm pretty sure. Hollywood so soon.
Kriing. Kriing. Kriing.
Another call men. Honey calling. Now, it's Ms. Lea Salonga. My short term girlfriend.
Lea's POV
Hellish cow. My freakin' face displayed in front page. Naka side view ako 'dun but I'm sure as hell na ako yun. It's me kissing Bamboo. One more thing. The caption. BAMBOO KISSING HIS NON SHOWBIZ GIRLFRIEND. Yes, it's me.
I decided to call Bamboo.
Kriing. Kriing. Kriing.
"Hi Honey, What's up with the call?"
"Bamboo, have you seen the news?"
"Yes."
"Turn to the entertainment section please."
"Nakita ko na 'yun"
"Ow."
"By the way, be ready."
"Why?"
"I'll be revealing something later. On television. "
"What? Reveal what?"
"Just watch honey", I heard his soft laughs.
"Hey! Hold on!"
Tootoot. Tootoot.
Too late. Call ended. Lol. I like him being so bawdy and disobedient. Being THE SILLY BAMBOO. I edited my phonebook. From BAMBOO to HONEY. The nerve. Haha.
