“Change not only was inevitable, but usually brought its own rewards.”

CHAPTER 3
Dahil medyo busy ako, hindi ko kaagad naasikaso ung photos ni Mr. Ganayo. I was so preoccupied with Meg's wedding. And I'm sooooooooooooo excited for my bestfriend. FINALLY!
I was busy researching about Meg's pre-nup and where to shoot. I found a place somewhere in Coron, it's so pretty there!
"OMG. Meg will love this!"
I was startled when my phone rang.
"Oh." At ako'y tumayo para kunin ung phone ko na nasa counter.
"Hello?"
(Is this Miss Santiago?)
"Speaking. How may I help you?"
(This is Louie Ganayo speaking.)
I cursed silently. Gosh!!!! I TOTALLY FORGOT ABOUT HIS PHOTOGRAPHS! It's been a week since! Oh God!
"Mr, Ganayo..." I said almost helpless on the phone.
(I was just wondering.. What the hell happened to my photographs? Did you happened to melt them all by staring at then all night?)
OH GOSH.
"Mr. Ganayo.. I'm so sorry for the delay. I was just wondering also.. What would be the color of the frame? I'm sorry for the inconvenience."
(I was expecting is last Friday.. But no photographs came..)
"I'm so sorry Mr. Ganayo. I'll be taking them tomorrow personally in your room. What was the kind of frame you want."
(Mackenzie frames. Suit it. I want it on my place.. 10 AM tomorrow. SHARP.)
Shit. He sounded like he's Hades who's giving ultimatum!
"Yes, sir. I will be there 10 AM sharp."
(See you then, Miss Santiago.)
And then he ended the call.
Antipatikong gago talaga. -____-
Hinarap ko na agad ung picture nung hudas nayun.. And the moment I plugged in my camera at my iMac.. I was like..
"Oh my. Hindi ko na kailangan i-edit to." As I was scanning his photos..
Napansin ko. Shet. Gwapo talaga 'to kaso antipatikong gago lang. He has this brown eyes, pero he's kind of the Chinito guy. Long lashes, pointy nose..
At san ka. ANG KINIS.
"Grabe. Na-conscious tuloy ako sa mukha mo."
Dinala ko na sa printing press ungmga pictures. Saglit lang naman un at ipprint na sa canvass para madala ko na sya bukas.
Nag-punta na ulit ako sa harap ng computer ko at nagssearch.
When Rean called me..
"Yes?"
(SHEAAAAAAAAAAAAN! I NEED YOUR HELP!)
Kumunot ang noo ko. What the hell is wrong with Rean? "What kind of help----"
Napahinto ako sa pagsasalita nung mga narinig akong boses ng babae sa background. Seems like.. She's moaning!
"What the hell, Rean?!" Napatayo ako sa kinauupuan ko at nanlalaki ang mata sa gulat. "Was.. Was.. Was that a moan!?"
(YES! TULUNGAN MO KO SHEAN! UTANG NA LOOB! HINAHARASS AKO NG MGA KAKLASE KO!!!!!)
"Oh God.. Oh God.. Where are you!?"
(Nasa school! Tulungan mo ako please!)
"Pupunta na ako! Get away from those filthy hands!"
I grabbed the keys and made my way outside. "Humanda sakin ung mga babaeng yun."
~
"SHEAN!" Agad na lumapit sakin si Rean at niyakap ako. Nakita ko ung limang babaeng na mukhang ginahasa. What the hell?!
"Shean! Buti dumating ka na!"
Sinamaan ko ng tingin ung mga babae na sinamaan din ako ng tingin.. "Who are you?" Mataray na tanong sakin nung isa..
"I'm your worst nightmare.."
"Oh, that explains it. You're.. disgusting... From head looks like a foot." Then she smirked. HOW DARE THIS GIRL!
"Really? So, what do you call yourself, then?"
"I call myself, gorgeous."
I faked a laugh. "When did the meaning of gorgeous became.. disgusting?" I heard Rean chukcled.
She was about to say something pero natigilan sya at napailing. "Back off, wag na wag nyong subukan lapitan si Rean.. He's mine alone." Mukhang na-shock naman ung limang babae. At ako ay nag-walk out..
Pero napahinto ako.. Parang may kamukha tong babaeng to. I shooed the thought away and kept on walking.
~
"Ano ba naman kasing kahayupan ang ginawa mo dun, Rean!?" I sound like Meg right at this moment.
"Shean, pwedeng pakinggan mo muna ako?" Sabi nya at saka ibinaba ung balikat kong nakataas sa sobrang inis.
Ang hudas na Rean! Nililigawan pala ung babaeng mataray! Agh! Nakakainis!
"Oo nga kasi! Nililigawan ko nga si Sheena! Ung apat na kaibigan nya kasi, they're testing my infidelity! They tried to seduce me, but when I didn't.. That's when things got awfully disturbing."
"NAKAKAINIS KA NAMAN KASI TALAGA! NAKO REAN! Masasapak kita!"
"Pakihinaan ang boses, Shean! You sounded like Meg!"
"E kasi nakakainis e! You made a fool out of me!"
"I didn't!" Sa sobrang inis ko kay Rean lumabas ako sa sarili kong condo. Nakakainis!
"Ano ba, Shean! Bumalik ka nga dito!"
Nakakanginig ng laman! Grabe! Pinagmukha akong tanga ni Rean dun sa harap ng nililigawan nya! Of course, I'm the bestfriend! At least I want to have a lasting impression to Rean's future girlfriend! And that was turned upside down!
Bumababa ako sa parking lot, nasa labas na ako nung makita ko ulit ung pamilyar na black na SLG 434 na Aston Martin. Wala akong panahon makipag-sitsitan dun!
Pag-dating ko sa studio, as expected.. Hindi ko napatay ung computer ko.. Kaya naman umupo ako para tingnan at saka patayin..
Pag-close ko nung browser ko.. Bumulaga sakin ung picture namin ni Rean..
I'll tell you a secret..
People used to call us with seperate a.k.a's.. For me, Rean's girl, as for Rean, Shean's boy.
A tear escaped my eye..
May nililigawang iba si Rean..
And that used to be me..
