How to be an Extra?
| Chapter 33 | Extra's Life
Mezzi Claudine Stockholme
Hindi ako makatulog. I am pacing back and forth—trying to let the thought subside.
"Magpakalayo-layo na kaya ako ngayon?" I self-asked. Pero mabilis rin ang pag-iling ko.
I can't do that without everything is settled. Hindi ako pupwedeng magdesisyon na lang nang hindi kinokonsidera ang mga taong malapit sa buhay ni Lady Sneddelline. For sure—if I will be vanished this instant, Lady Sneddelline's family would be worried sick.
I have thought about it—if I am going to run away, I need a perfect plan to do it. 'Yung walang maapektuhang tao sa gagawin kong pagpakalayo-layo. 'Yung walang maghahanap sa akin o gagambalahin ako. 'Yung tipong malaya ako sa lahat ng bagay na konektado sa kwento.
Finding a life somewhere is the safest path for Lady Sneddelline.
Pero alam kong hindi magiging madali ang lahat. Kung sana may tutulong sa akin... but I scratch that thought from my list. Being an alien to this world, I couldn't trust no one. It'll eventually create a havoc if everyone knows I am no Lady Sneddelline. It'll make a headline, and I don't want that to happen. I've got enough with the limelight, and it is about time to realize what extra's life means.
Naupo ako sa bangko sa malapit at nangalumbaba. Inisip kong muli ang mga nangyari kanina.
"Mom... I also don't like, Lady Sneddelline... I also want to reject this marraige proposal..."
Dapat masaya ako dahil pinagbigyan nya ang hiling ko pero sa hindi malamang dahilan, tila nasasaktan ako sa sinabi nya. As much as I want to get curious about it, pinigilan ko ang sarili. Being inquisitive in a situation like this won't help.
"... but I want to try."
Hinay-hinay ang paglingon ko kay Zauster dahil sa idinugtong nya. Is he insane?!
"Zau—"
"I am curious," when Zauster and my eyes met, there was something within. "I want to confirm something." He smirked.
Is he talking about that again?
"Walang masama kung susubukan natin," hinarap ako ni Zauster. "If we want to prove them that we aren't suitable, we should let them see through it. Kapag sinubukan natin, mapapatunayan natin sa kanila na hindi magandang desisyon ang pagpapakasal sa atin."
"But—"
"Walang mawawala. Ipapakita lang natin sa kanila na hindi tayo ang para sa isa't-isa." Nangungusap ang mga mata ni Zauster.
Imbes na umapila na naman, isang malalim na buntong-hininga ang pinakawalan ko.
Nothing would be lost? He is ahead of himself. The truth—if we want to push through this, we'll be automatically lost. There are risks and I don't want to take risk.
"What to do?" Hinilot ko ang sintido dahil sumasakit naman 'to.
Totoo nga ang sabi nila—kapag ang problema pinabayaan, mas lalaki at mas mahihirapan ka nang solusyunan 'to.
Bumuntong-hininga muna ako bago inihagis ang sarili sa kama. Inub-ob ko ang ulo sa unan. I have never thought that this gonna be out-of-hand. Ang akala ko ay ang pagbalik lamang sa agos ng istorya ang magiging malaki kong problema. But maybe, may nakaligtaan na naman ako.
Nakatingin ako sa salamin habang pinagmamasdan ang mukha ni Lady Sneddelline. Kabaligtaran ang mukhang 'to sa totoong mukha ko. I am never a fashion woman. Hindi ako mahilig mag-ayos sa sarili. As long as it is decent, I don't need much. But Lady Sneddelline is different—she is beautiful surrounded with fancy stuffs. I tend to adjust living on her behalf. Yet,
