Rabiya's pov
"Napakasosyal naman netong restu MJ ha, Libre mo?" Kala ko kasi sa simpleng kainan lang kami.
"Hindi pero Libre ni Mama J!-Hiii!" sabay waved nya sa isang direksyon. Nagulat ako andito nga si mama J! Pero bakit??-hinila na ako palapit ni MJ sa table.
"Omygod MJ di mo sinabi agad ha!"
"Hii Rabiya! You look gorgeous as always! -Dali upo na. Sinurprise talaga kita. "
"Thankyou po..."
"Sabihin mo na Mama J yung surprise." -MJ.
"Sige tutal nag order narin ako... Well Rabiya, remember what I told you after you win the MUPh ? eto na yun, it's time for you to shine! Mag ready ka na kasi our training will start soon!" sabi nya pero I'm still puzzled. Alam ko pero di pa ako sure.
"You mean... Miss Universe??"
He smiled brightly.
"Langga congrats! Excited na ako super!!" MJ hugged me.
OHMYGOD TOTOO NA BA TOH?? Everyome knows how much I waited for this even if I have doubts thinking MUPh will be my last journey and I wouldn't be supported.
"Mama J thankyou talaga! Hindi ko alam kung sasabihin ko pero I promise I will be ready and I will make you proud!"
"Not just me, you already made us proud when you won MUPh, I saw your hardworks and purity. I believe you can have the Universe with such unique Beauty. Although you've been vacant for a year it doesn't mean you're forgotten, we just need to allign your time to the universe and this is it. " he said-na touch naman ako.
"So that means stay ka na dito sa Manila for your training Langga. Nagpaalam narin ako kay tita so don't worry, pati yung mga gamit mo nabitbit ko narin."umusog sya kasi dumating yung waiter dala yung ordered foods.
" Please enjoy! "
" Thankyou kuya. "mama J said before the waiter left.
Eto na talaga yun totoo na toh. I wanted to cry but I'm just holding myself.
" So Thursday Ibyang punta na tayo sa venue for your photoshoot. Then afternoon sa Empire for your pasarela diba Mama J? "
" Yup alam na yan ng PA mong si Erik." he said then look behind me.
"Rabiyaaa!"
"Haluh teh Erik! Namiss kita!" I hug him. It's been a while when I last saw him.
"Ano ka ba namiss agad?Minessage kita kagabi but I guess you haven't read my message...Now back to work na tayo ha. Goodluck!"
Erik is the person by by side keeping me informed about everything I should do that were booked by the MUPh organization.
"Sorry hindi ako nakapag check masyado ng mga messages ko."
"Yeah I heard kakauwi mo palang from Thailand. Dapat nga nagpapahinga ka muna." -Erik.
"Opo pero siguro sapat na yung pahinga ko mamayang Gabi. Ready na ako for tomorrow and the day after. Thankyou po talaga, for sure tuwang tuwa sila mama."
"Naku sinabi mo pa! Hindi na nga makapag hintay si tita."
"Pero Rabiya keep in mind to be careful and be aware of who are your strong contenders now, it will be a big help during your training. I've saw your feeds.. Hm I've saw someone's very familiar, she's a beauty queen and she's Ms. Thailand?" he asked. I get the glass of juice saka uminom.
" Amanda Obdam?"
" Yeah that one! Ang ganda ni Thailand BFF ba kayo? "-Erik.
" Ay! Sobra! Hm.." MJ drank her water then eyed me.
"How is Ms. Thailand?"
"Ms. Thailand is a very nice person. Mabait sya and talented." I shortly described habang kumakain sila. Erik is browsing his phone naman.
"Eto! Bongga ni Amanda-Wait is this you??" he showed me a group picture of me with Bright and Kittychicha with friends. "Shuta ka totoo toh??!"
"Patingin!" Mj checked the picture. Her eyes widen habang ngumunguya. "TOTOO TOH!?"
"Amanda and I was invited at Brights house so yun pumunta ako-"
"RABIIYAA DI MO MANLANG AKO HININGI NG AUTOGRAPH BAKLA KA!-So you mean nameet mo na sya? Saka diba eto si Nanno?"
"Ayy bongga mo Rabiya ha! Next time ha pagpunta mo ng thailand pakilala mo ako kay Amanda para maipakilala ako kay Bright!"
"Shusshh quite nga kayo baka palabasin tayo dito." Sita ni Mama J. Natatawa nalang ako.
"Ay yun lang mukhang di na toh babalik ng thailand." -I eyed MJ. Humigop lang sya ng sabaw.
"Bakit sis? Dahil ba rivals na kayo ni Amanda?" -Erik.
Rivals?
"A-ah hindi naman teh. I don't think we will be rivals kahit na we represent our own countries."
"That's good but Rabiya Thailand is one of our strong competitor, for sure Thai's and Filo's will start a war. Thailand is aware that we have a fight and for sure they will gonna watch your back. Just remember be who you are, wag kang madadala sa mga awrahan ng mga kalaban lalo na kay Thailand, kahit na friendship kayo. Keep in mind rise high but never fall. " mama J strictly said.
" Ay na fall... Yung kutsara. Oh. "MJ showed it to me after grabbing it from the floor. May tissue pa naman syang cover-pero alam kong sinasadya nya.

I got a call from my manager telling me about my schedule. He met me in the airport and flied together back home cuz I should now prepare, I'm moving to Bangkok for my official training and for photoshoots.
"Goodluck Chalisa."i heard mom said from the door. I smiled then walk towards her. She's in her wheelchair.
" Thank you mom. "I crouch to level with her then hold her hands.
" I know you will do well and never dissapoints us. Can't wait to see you on that stage. "
" I will make you proud. Don't worry mom, I promised. "I smiled.
" And the whole country. "my personal assistant added from behind. She's helping me with my things.
" She will mom. You don't have to worry, right Chalisa? "my sister just came unnoticed from behind. I stand up then forced a smiled.
" Well by the way, I think someone is downstairs and I think you need to go first. "she hold mom's wheelchair then stepped back to give me way. I step out the door and saw Joe at the sofa.
I take a deep breath then walk down the stairs. He smiled when he saw me.
" Goodevening babe. You're preparing now? "he kissed me.
" I am... "I simply smiled.
Should I tell him now?
" Are you okay? Babe you seems stressed, I know you will give your hundred percent don't worry. I will support you a hundred percent. "he fixed the Strand of hair in the side of my ears.
Sorry by I have no courage. This is so hard...
