Love In The Spotlight

Chapter 5

After our 'introduction'-- the models-- umakyat na sa stage si Keanna, para sa speech niya. It went well although it didn't last that long; just a right amount of time to show the viewers that she'd given her speech as the judge.

Next to Keana's speech was the three different questions she 'prepared' for the three of us. And honestly, I thought that the questions they prepared were related to her profession-- in the contrary, the questions were actually personal which I didn't expect.

Maayos naman ang nangyari sa Q&A na 'yon. Naka-isang take lang din kami rito dahil nagawa namin ng tama.

Keana: For model number three, have you been in a relationship where your parents were against with? If yes, would you still continue your relationship with that guy? Or would you follow what your parents want you to do?

Sheena: Yes, I had been; and I still continued my relationship with him. In my perspective, letting your child make their own decisions within their own personal life will really help them mature. If in any case that your child chose the wrong decision after all, like I did, there would still be a lesson from it. So, in short, I'd rather not follow them as I'd rather follow my decision which will help me grow as an individual.

Keana: *chuckled* I didn't expect your answer.

When Keanna chuckled because of my answer, basically sinusunod niya 'yong nasa script as her role, do'n ko na-sense that there was something off happening in this series. Totoong opinion ang sinasabi ko rito as Hillary and not the model in the series here. Something felt off. I knew that since memorizing the script.

Keanna: Well, if you really trust and love your parents the way they love and trust you, you will follow what they want-- or what their guts say. Because I do believe that our parents are always right. They've experienced everything before us-- ika nga pauwi na sila, papunta pa lang tayo.

"Are judges supposed to do that?" si Wendy, palipat-lipat ang tingin sa 'min sabay ibabalik sa T.V. ang tingin, looking for an answer. "'Di naman ganiyan mga judges, ahh. Alam niyo ba flow ng story?"

"Nope," si Rob, naka-focus pa rin sa may T.V. at 'di rin natiis na hindi i-share ang thought niya kay Eric. "Off the script na yata 'yan. Ano sa tingin mo?"

"Si Direk Tannie magkakamali? Sa imagination, oo. 'Di lang natin alam buong script, pero 'yan talaga 'yung nasa script. Malapit na rin kasi ending niyan-- feel ko."

Well, wala akong alam. I only had the script that direk gave me and it was merely for my short scene sa one episode at wala ng iba.

Sa series, nag-cheer 'yong mga fans ni Keanna for 'correcting' my answer, while the rest started booing her because of that. I mean, kahit sino naman, even in reality, would be baffled with Keana's reaction towards my answer.

Ngayon ko lang na-realized na nakakapagtaka 'yong scene ko. When we were shooting it, at mime-memorize ko 'yong script? Nothing was suspicious.

"Whoa!"

"Hill, ikaw 'yon?!"

Iba-iba ang naging reactions nila sa scene na sumunod. There, because of how pissed I was, sinugod ko si Keanna below the stage and pulled her hair harder than anyone would thought. Sobrang intense ng scene na 'to because of what I did. Sheena made a chaos and almost made it a war zone as fans tried to help Keanna and harm me in return. May mga guards din doon, pero medyo naging useless sila dahil sa lack of manpower.

"Actually, 'yan 'yong hardest scene." pag-amin ko, hopeless na sa ginawa kong 'yan. "Kinapalan ko talaga mukha ko d'yan to amaze direk with one take. I mean, first time ko."
