He doesn't like waking up early cause he works until late at night but since she lived next to him, he found himself waking up early. It was a coincidence that he was at the balcony that day when she asked him what company she should sign with.
One thing was on his mind when he heard that, she should sign with us.
The next day he waited for her again and she appeared. She asked him and wanted to know his opinion about that matter. But all he can think about how good it felt talking to her and seeing her smile. He didn't want to affect her choice so he said to go where she feels happy.
And now he's sitting in front of the television waiting for her to appear. When he saw that he's wearing a skirt when she appeared and even before she fixed her skirt, he already called his subordinate to send a blanket to the production set and when the commercial started he got up to call someone.
"What can I do for you?" The man on the other line said.
"I sent a blanket for her. Why aren't you treating your guest well? Can't you see she keeps on shifting on her seat?" The man's voice is laced with irritation and the man on the other line just chuckled.
"Wow I never knew you're close to each other. Is she someone special?" The other guy can't help but probe at him.
"Give it to her." And the man ended the call.
He went back to sitting in front of the television and tweeted something.
His emotions throughout the show cannot be distinguished, he became sad, proud, irritated, and happy because of the woman being interviewed. She doesn't even know that this man can do anything for her, he would gladly give up everything and give her everything her heart desires.
Once the show ended, he texted her and he got a reply, a simple thank you, but her thank you made his whole day.

Asteria Gutierrez
"Ria gising na." Naramdaman kong tumigil na ang sasakyan at tinatapik ako ni Ate. Agad 'kong binuksan ang mata ko at andito na nga kami kung saan ako pipirma ng kontrata para sa show na sasalihan ko.
Nag retouch ako saglit at bumaba na kami ng sasakyan.
Nakita naman namin agad ang director at producer ng show at naging mabilisan lang ang pag-uusap at pag pirma ng kontrata.
The show would be called "Busker, busker: Travel the World". Basically this show would be about singers and known people who play different instruments and it would be live streamed. The director didn't tell us where we're going and who are the other casts. He told me that the show would start next week so I should get ready.
After signing, I went to the studio where I'll take pictures for the promotional poster. Once we reached the place, I was famished. Gutom na ako dahil wala pa akong maayos na umagahan. At mukhang matatagalan ang shoot na 'to.
Ako lang naman ang kukuhanan ng picture dahil nga hindi pa pinapakilala kung sino ang mga kasamahan ko. Agad naman akong inayusan at binihisan.
Pinasuot lang nila sakin ay stripes na long sleeves na may cardigan na nakatali sa balikat ko at brown na shorts.
"Hi Asteria, I'm LJ, your photographer for today." He reached out his hand.
"Please guide me well LJ. It's been a long time since I did this." I shaked his hand before stepping into the place where he'll take my pictures.
I felt my aura changed. Kahit naman matagal ko ng hindi ginagawa 'to ay nakaukit pa rin sakin ang mga tinuro sakin simula pagkabata ko kung paano ako dapat gumalaw kapag kinukuhanan ako ng litrato.
Sinunod ko lang ang sinabi ni LJ at pati ang mga direksyon niya. Siya naman ang may alam kung anong gagawin ko at kung anong mas bagay sakin kaya nagtiwala ako sa kanya.
Isang oras na ang lumipas at natapos na rin kami sa wakas. Nagpasalamat ako sa kanila at lumapit kay LJ para humingi ng feedback.
"Kamusta? Okay naman ba?" May halong pag-aalinlangan sa boses ko. Tumawa ito at pinakita sakin ang mga kinuhanan niya. "Look, you're born to be a model Asteria. Do you want to change careers? I'll gladly advertise you to magazines and other photographers. What do you think?" Uminit ang mukha ko sa sinabi niya.
"I'm flattered. Thank you but I think I'll stick with singing." Sabay kaming tumawa sa sinabi ko.
"Can I have your number? So if someone would ask me to recommend a model, I'd recommend you to them. Also if you're up to it, I'll take you out for a meal." He smiled at me. Hindi ko na pinansin ang huling sinabi niya at binigay sa kanya ang number ko. Maganda na ang maraming koneksyon dahil hindi natin masasabi kung anong mangyayari in the future.
Nagpasalamat ulit ako sa kanya bago sinabi na aalis na ako.
"I'll call you for a meal sometime." He waved his hand at me while pointing at his phone.
"I'll be waiting." I said and gave him a polite smile. Nagpalit nalang ako ng damit at hindi na pinatanggal ng make-up ko dahil uwing uwi na ako. Gusto ko ng matulog at kumain.
Kapalit ko ng damit ay inaya ko na si Ate Thea na umuwi na. Binaba lang nila ako sa condo dahil need pa raw nilang bumalik sa opisina.
Umakyat na ako dahil gutom na gutom na talaga ako. Napahinto ako sa tapat ng pinto ng unit ko dahil may nakasabit na paper bag dito. Tinanggal ko ito sa pagkakasabit at nakita na may lamang pagkain. May nakadikit din na sticky note dito.
if you're hungry eat this, if you don't like the food, call me
