Chapter 35: Her Side

Avilyn's POV

"So, how do you spend your time together?" The interviewer asked Malaya.

"We usually go to beach po, picnics, like that." Malaya answered and smiled. Napangiti rin ako.

"That's so cute", the interviewer commented.

I look at my girl who's sweetly smiling since the interview started. She's really pretty, the prettiest. And I love to see her everyday, every night, every minute and seconds of my life. Her face matured but she still looks innocent and charming.

"So, kailan kayo aamin?" The interviewer asked again. My heart started to pound rapidly.

Malaya immediately blushed because of the question.

"We're not yet dating" she answered shyly.

"Yet. Hmm, nanliligaw?" The interviewer maliciously asked Malaya again. Hindi siya sumagot agad. "Okay, ang showbiz, ha. Eto nalang, can you describe her?"

Malaya turned her face and look at me with her smiling face. She looks so beautiful wearing the dress I gave her. The color white suits her well because she has a pure heart.

"She's the sweetest, most caring and honest person I've ever met. I feel comfortable around her and I'm happy to spend my time with her." She stated sincerely while still looking at me directly.

My heart melted. Her smiles always makes my day complete. She always brighten my day with those smiles.

"You sound so in love, huh?" Says by the interviewer.

"I'm always in love, Ma'am." She politely said. My heart skipped a bit. "In love with my family, with my friends, with my passion." She answered. I can feel how happy she is and I'm glad she's like that now.

"You're watching her again?" Harm suddenly show herself kaya napatingin ako sa kan'ya.

I look back at the television where Malaya is being interviewed for her upcoming movie. My brows furrowed when someone appeared on the screen, holding a bouquet of flower, giving it to Malaya. My jaw clenched.

Harm turned off the TV when she saw what's on the screen. "Why did you turned if off?!" I exclaimed at binuksang muli ang TV.

"Stop it, Avi. You're hurting yourself." she tried to stop me from opening it again but I just shove her hands away from the remote control.

As if it was meant to happen, the screen shows Malaya and her rumored girlfriend who is also her partner to her upcoming movie, they are hugging each other tightly, as if their life are depending on each other's arm. I felt my heart broke, again, for how many times. It shattered.

Harm hissed and turned off again the TV again. I sat back on my chair.

Yes, she's not talking about me. She's talking about Gael, 'yong babaeng biglang sumulpot on her interview, the girl that make her feel things that I should 3 years ago.

Harm sits beside me. We we're both staring at the TV na nakapatay. Silence enveloped us for a minute.

"Do you miss her?" Harm asked.

"So much." I answered without hesitation.

We become silent again.

Malaya is one of the highest paid actress now. She made lots of movies, teleseryes and she also released albums. And I'm proud of her. I'm proud sa lahat ng narating n'ya.

But I don't know if I should be thankful that she chose that career because the advantage is I often see her, I can be updated with her life, I also do have a collections of her movies that I binge-watching when I feel lonely, I also do attend her mallshows and movie screening just to see her, even from afar. But there's also disadvantages. As time passes by, she's being recognized, I'm seeing a lot of guys and even girls having crush with her, liking her and courting her. And all of her leading man, leading lady are being linked to her because she justs compliments with everyone. And I fucking hate it but I can't do anything and it's my fault.
