"Lisa, the CEO is on the line." Our manager said while I am busy preparing for the upcoming event tonight.

Tumaas ang kilay ko kasi hindi naman talaga niya ugaling tawagan kami. Inabot ko nalang ang cellphone ng manager namin.

"Hello, ma'am."

"Hey Lisa, good luck with your show tonight."

"Thank you ma'am."

"I just called to congratulate all of you in advance, if you won't take the trophy you still has my support."

"Owww thank you ma'am." Our new CEO is a girl and she's doing fine.

"And Lisa...." she paused for a second but I heard her heave a sigh kaya kinabahan akong bigla.

"Yes, ma'am?"

"I received pictures of you and...." she paused again, mas nakakakaba naman tong ginagawa niya sakin. "I know it's rare to find happiness to other person without being judged especially with the kind of work you have, I support you that's your personal life but remember you're on the verge of your careers this will impact for the both of you."

Natigilan ako at nag-init ang tenga sa sobrang kaba, they know.

"I-I'm..." actually I'm speechless hindi ko alam ang sasabihin ko. Ang bilis ng tibok ng puso ko nanginginig din ang kamay ko.

"I won't say anything against you two but think about your career Lisa, the whole world adores you so please think before you take any step."

Hindi na ako nakapagsalita talaga tanging bye nalang ang narinig ko. Hindi ko maiwasang mapatingin kay Rosé na inaayusan na rin, she smiles at me sweetly while looking at the mirror. I smile back but it's half hearted halos ngiwi nalang nga, ewan ko kung napansin niya yon pero hindi naman nawala ang ngiti niya. While I'm about to cry having anxiety about what to do. Hindi ko kayang mawala ang career ko pero kaya ko bang i-give up si Rosé?

"Hey!" Mahinang binangga ni Jennie ang balikat ko na nagpabalik sakin sa tamang huwisyo.

Humugot ako ng buntong hininga saka nginitian siya. We're about to perform at kailangan kong magfucos sa performance namin.

"Whatever you're thinking everything would be alright."

Pilit akong ngumiti, yeah..everything would be alright I hope so. Sana.

Tumayo ako saka lumapit kay Rosé na nag-i internalize pa ata habang nakapikit.

"Baby." Malumanay ngunit mahina kong tawag sa kanya, one of the disadvantages of our secret relationship I can't call her in any endearment I want without thinking of others might hear it.

She opens her eyes and there a smile automatically draws in her face. "Yes, hon?" Halos pabulong din niyang tugon.

"Samahan mo ko sa washroom." Sabay abot sa kanya ng kamay ko.

Agad naman niya iyong inabot saka ako hinila papasok sa washroom.

I hug her the moment we enter the washroom. I held her booth cheeks before pecking on her lips. Magaan at damping halik para hindi masira ang make up namin. I look at her beautiful face, gusto kong umiyak pero hindi pwede. Rosé is the type of person na tatanggapin nalang lahat no question or anything when it comes to our relationship. Her kindness is to the core, I know she don't want to hide this pero maraming masisira kapag lumabas ang tungkol samin.

"I love you, honey." Buong puso kong sabi, I guess I have decided.

"I know baby and I love you too, kinakabahan ka ba?" There's a hint of amusement in her tone.
