Naging abala ako sa schedules ko sa mga sumunod na araw. From interviews, shoots, promotions, fanmeets, filming and all. Kakatapos lang ng isang filming ko para sa isang promotion campaign pero, hindi pa doon natatapos ang schedule ko dahil mayroon pa akong schedule sa isang interview. I went to the studio early just to have my rest. At least, hindi na ako magmamadali kung sakaling mapasobra ang pagpapahinga ko.
"Rea," tawag ko sa manager na tumabi sa akin. "P'wedeng matulog muna? Isang oras pa bago ang simula ng shoot, tama?" pakiusap ko habang nakasandal sa sofa sa waiting room. Aurea glanced at her watch and turned to me.
"Gigisingin na lang kita. Rest well, Vanessa," aniya kaya napangiti ako bago humiga sa malaking sofa roon. I closed my eyes and immediately drifted to sleep.
I don't know how many minutes or hours passed until I felt Rea shaking me and telling me to go and prepare. Nang maramdaman na medyo nawala ang pagod ko, tumayo ako at kumilos na agad. I saw Rea through the reflection of the mirror, scrolling on her phone. Nakasimagot siya at halatang problemado kaya agad ko siyang tinawag.
"May problema ba?" tanong ko habang nakatingin sa kaniya. Rea looked up to me and turned off her phone. She suddenly smiled at me.
"Focus on the show, Vanessa. Let me handle this."
With that, I couldn't help but, worry. There's something wrong and I'm sure of that.
When the hosts called for me, I immediately went outside and greeted them. Magiliw naman akong binati ng mga hosts kaya hindi naalis ang ngiti sa labi ko.
"Nako, kinikilig ako! Vanessa Anderson ba naman itong nasa harapan natin!" sabi ng isang host na si Ann. Ang katabi niyang si Lloyd ay sumang-ayon sa kaniya kaya napangiti ako.
"Ayan, paniguradong punong-puno ng tagahanga ni Vanessa ang comment section natin online!" sabi ni Lloyd at humarap sa akin. "Masaya kaming napaunlakan mo kami, Vanessa! We've been trying to get you to guest on our show and all the manifestation came true!" aniya at nakipagkamay sa akin kaya agad kong inabot ang kamay niya.
"Maraming salamat po! Maraming salamat sa imbitasyon," sabi ko at humarap sa camera bago kumaway. "Hello po, ako si Vanessa! Sana mag-enjoy kayo ngayong araw!" I blew kisses to the camera and smiled.
"Ayan, ngayong nandito si Vanessa, susubukan nating ipasagot sa kaniya ang mga tanong na matagal niyo nang gustong bigyan niya ng sagot!" Lloyd exclaimed. "Game ka ba sa mga tanong namin, Vanessa?" he asked me.
I nodded and clapped my hands. "Ready po!"
They shot me questions asked by my supporters and I'm more than glad to answer them. Naging maayos ang flow ng show hanggang sa nakita ko ang pagngisi ni Ann.
"Gustong malaman ng sambayanan kung may nagpapatibok na ba ng puso ng isang Vanessa Anderson?"
That question caught me off guard but, the smile on my face remains. Hindi ko pinahalatang nag-alangan ako sa pagsagot ng tanong. My heart immediately reacting to the question but, I remain calm and composed.
"Hmm, let's just say that my heart's always been rapidly beating when it comes to this special person..." I started, both the hosts have their eyes wide. "I don't have anything to share but, all I can assure you is that my heart's been taken by this special someone."
"So, you basically have a boyfriend?" nakangising tanong ni Lloyd. Napatawa ako pero, agad ding umiling.
"None but, my heart's already reserved for that special person."
I know that my comment will make people more curious about who is it. Pumasok na rin sa isipan ko na baka may teorya silang ang tinutukoy ko ay konektado sa taong tinukoy ko noong nagkaroon ng issue. That's why I didn't elaborate what I said. I think, my answer's enough to answer their question. Tinanong lang naman nila kung may nagpapatibok ng puso ko kaya um-oo ako.
