LIFETIME - WANGGE

CHAPTER 30

Angge's POV

Kakasundo ko lang sakanya ngayon and we're on our way to the office of star music where she will meet her manager.

"U okay, babe? Looks like something is off." I asked, ang tahimik niya kasi and nakafocus lang outside.

"Just nervous." Sagot niya.

I held her hand and kissed it. "You'll do great in this field. I see that and I know that you will shine like a star after releasing your album."

"Thank you, babe, for supporting me since the house of collab days, and thank you for those words, I really appreciate it." She said.

Ilang minuto pa ay nakarating na rin kami roon.

"Good evening, Ward. I am Vangie, and I will be the one to manage you in this industry, in short I will be your manager. And, this is Sir John, the head of Star music."

"Good evening, ms. Vangie, and Sir John." She said.

"Welcome to star music, Ward. In case you doesn't know Star music is also a company of Abs-cbn. Angge is a star magic artist, I am happy na nahila ka niyang pumasok sa ganitong industry. We need a talent like you, your songs are one of a kind and it's nice to hear na Angge is the reason why you made that." Sir John said.

"We saw na your loveteam is still famous right now even if it is formed 6 years ago in The house of collab, right?" Ms. Vangie asked.

"Yes po, actually nawala sila for a while dahil nga naghiwalay din kami ni Angge for years, nasa UK ako and siya nandito sa PH, that's why I didn't expect na Wangge fans are still there." Ward said.

"Malaki ang chance na sumikat agad ang mga songs na irerelease mo dahil nga it's about love and it's for Angge. If Angge will help you to promote it, mas lalong sisikat. Mahahatak ng love team niyo ang career mo dahil nagsisimula ka pa lang. Angge's manager is also my friend so I'll talk to her nalang about the both of you. May isang song ka Ward na gagawan natin ng isang music video and as much as possible we want Angge and you to be there since the song is for Angge nga." Pagpapaliwanag niya, tumango naman kami.

"I will send you the schedule of your recording sessions Ward, and iuupdate ko rin kayo kapag napag-usapan na namin yung music video. Ayun lang muna for now, and Ward sign this." Saad niya pa ulit, pinirmahan na ni Ward ang contract niya at umalis na rin kami.

"Congrats, welcome to Abs-Cbn." Saad ko sakanya.

"Thank you, babe."

"We need to celebrate this. Let's eat somewhere." Pag-aaya ko.

"I'm craving for tempura and ramen, babe." Saad niya. Mahilig talaga siya sa japanese food kahit british siya.

"Tokyo-tokyo?" Tanong ko. Tumango naman siya kaya nagdrive na ako patungong mall para dun na rin kumain. Disguise mode muna.

Kinuha ko ang hoodie at cap ko sa back seat. Laging nakaready yun para pag may biglaang gala.

"Disguise mode again ang ferson." Natatawang saad niya.

"Baka kasi hindi tayo makarating sa kakainan natin kapag hindi ako nag ganito." Saad ko sakanya. Lumabas na kami ng sasakyan at mabilis na nagtungo sa Tokyo-tokyo. Gutom na rin ako.

"Babe, after kapag narecord ko na yung mga songs sa album ko punta tayong UK to prepare for our wedding and for celebration of your birthday. I'm sorry if hindi pa tayo makapagprepare ngayon because of my work and dahil din dito sa pinasok kong music industry." Saad niya. Oo nga pala, ilang weeks nalang birthday ko na. Ang sweet talaga ng future wife ko, hindi ko naman binabanggit pa sakanya yung about sa wedding because I know na magiging busy talaga siya but I'm glad naalala niya.

"No pressure babe. Take your time and enjoy it muna. The wedding can wait." I said.

"thank you babe."

Ang sarap mapunta sa healthy relationship. Hindi madalas mag-away at kung may tampuhan man ay palaging inaayos agad at hindi na palalakihin.

Alam ng lahat ng Wangge fans na matagal siyang magpatawad, pero pagdating sakin binababa niya pride niya. I'm lucky because she's always willing to adjust things para lang hindi ako mahirapan.

That kind of love, mahirap nang pakawalan, iisa lang ang Ward sa mundo kaya aalagaan ko siya hanggat buhay ako.

Nakarating kami sa house almost 9 pm na. Gulat ako pagbaba ng sasakyan nang makita ko ang isang pamilyar na tao.

"Angel? What are you doing here?" Ward asked.

"Wala akong balak manggulo, I just want to talk to you guys if hahayaan niyo ako. I want to fix things out na." She said, napatingin naman ako kay Ward na para bang nanghihingi ng permission.

"Come in." Ward said, at nauna ng lumakad papasok ng mansion.

Pumunta kaming living room at naupo, katabi ko si Ward. "You can sit if you want." Ward said. Naupo naman siya sa kabilang side.

"Ward, Angge, I just want to say sorry for what I have done 6 years ago. I didn't mean to do that, it's just that sobrang nainis ako kay Ward that time kasi pinapalayo niya ako sayo. Me and Ward were college best friends, hindi ko alam kung bakit umabot sa part na magiging ganun kami. I entered the house of collab for her kasi I want to have a bond with her. Sorry din Angge if hindi ko agad sinabi sayo, natakot akong mawala yung closeness natin that time kaya mas pinili kong manahimik kesa aminin sayo. Sana mapatawad niyo akong dalawa, gusto ko lang ibalik yung friendship na meron tayong tatlo noon. I know it takes time, pero malinis ang intensyon ko dahil narealized ko na ang mga bagay-bagay." Saad niya. Ang bilis ng panahon, almost one year na rin pala mula nung nalaman ko lahat.

"You're forgiven, Angel. Alam kong hindi ka talaga ganyan, maybe may pagkakamali rin ako before kaya mo nagawa yun, but it's okay, nakita ko namang nagbago kana." Saad ni Ward. Napangiti naman ako nang marinig ko iyon. I know na they are college bestfriends at 6 years na rin silang may tampuhan. Masaya akong napatawad na siya ni Ward.

"Thank you, Ward. Pangako, hindi ko na sisirain ang tiwala mo ulit." Saad ni Angel at lumapit sakanya. Niyakap niya ito at naghug back din naman si Ward. Napatingin naman si Angel saakin after niyang bumitaw sa yakap nila, it's like she's waiting for my answer.

"Napatawad na rin kita, Angel. Masaya akong naging okay na kayo ni Ward after so many years." Saad ko at nginitian siya. Parang ang weird naman ata na ako lang yung ngumiti pero silang dalawa parehong umiiyak.

Lumapit ako sakanila at niyakap sila pareho.

Happy birthday wardo! Chariz!
