Chapter 2

Tatiana Louvre's Point of View

When did my life make a sharp turn, from having the best time of my life to reaching rock bottom? Is it the fact that I am the Louvre's firstborn?

No.

Is it when my parents dropped a bomb on me, saying that I would be married to someone I haven't met my entire life?

No.

Is it when Noah, my boyfriend, tried ignoring me for almost three months now?

No.

Then what?

Parang sasabog na yata ang utak ko kaiisip. Hindi na rin ako makatulog nang maayos dahil dito. How infuriating. I don't know how many times I banged my head in the table. I am ruined. My life is a complete disaster. All because of that damn arrange marriage that I am trying so hard to run away from. Gusto kong maikasal pero hindi naman sa taong ni isang beses ay hindi ko pa nakikilala. Paano kung serial killer pala ang mapapunta sa akin? Edi, katapusan ko na kaagad.

"Tati, they are now in the next scene. Kailangan na magpalit ng outfit ng mga main lead." Naagaw lang ni Rosie ang atensyon ko nang pumasok siya sa loob ng kwarto. Oh, right. I am in the middle of my work. Pero heto ako at nalulunod na kaiisip kung paano gumuho nang tuluyan ang buong buhay ko. Dumagdag pa ang sunod-sunod na text messages na natanggap ko mula sa aking ulirang ina na mukhang hindi napapagod ang daliri niyang kakapindot sa kanyang screen. Wala na ba siyang ibang gagawin at hatawin ako ng text messages?

"I'm coming, Rosie. Dadalhin ko na itong outfit nila sa kanilang dressing room." Sabi ko naman.

"Alright. Kahit ikaw na lang ang magdala sa dressing room ni Noah. Ako na lang sa outfit ni Lana."

I almost cursed when I heard my boyfriend's name. Or is he still my boyfriend? Kahit ako ay hindi ko na rin alam. When I started dating Noah, we were always complicated. Now that I've come to know that I will be marrying someone, we become much more complicated.

With so much thought, I grab Noah's outfit from the rack and walked towards his room. Naabutan ko naman siya na nakasandal sa sofa na mukhang nagpapahinga. Naramdaman ko kaagad ang pagbilis ng kabog ng aking puso. I've been trying to have an alone time with him, I didn't know that I will get a chance in the middle of our work.

Noah Mason is an actor, and he is in the middle of a shoot right now. Sadyang nandito lang siya ngayon sa loob ng kanyang dressing room para magpalit ng kanyang damit na babagay sa sunod na scene. Nandito ako sa loob hindi bilang girlfriend niya, kundi bilang stylist at fashion designer. The production and my clothing brand have a contract. I have to make specific clothing styles for the characters, which are carefully tailored to fit them. In return, they will indirectly advertise the products that I made. It's a win-win situation in this line of business.

Noah looked like he was born in a spotlight. Because the word handsome is not enough to describe him, with his sharp jawline, bright dark eyes, broad shoulders, toned arms, and genuine smile, no wonder everyone has to give him a second look. Anyone would desire to be someone like him. Kaya hindi na ako nagtataka kung napakalaki ng fan base niya. Girls in every age bracket adore him. That's why every series and movie he's in is always a blockbuster. He's got everything. Confidence, charisma, face card, and talent.

Noah is witty and dashing, and it's not hard to fall in love with him. The first time he smiled at me, I knew that what I felt for him was love, love, love.

Nagkakilala lang kaming dalawa noong nagsisimula pa lang siya sa industriya. Habang ako naman ay ang naka-assign biglang stylist niya. Hindi naman sa binubuhat ko ang sarili kong bangko, pero dahil sa mga outfit na ginawa ko para sa kanya ay nakatulong ito para mas lalong sumikat ang binata. I made sure that every clothing I make just for Noah will make him stood out and look cool.
