* Pagdating ng 6pm, ay agad na inaya ni Flynn si Celeste na magkita sa Cafe 00 upang doon mag-usap. *

" Celeste, you're here na pala. " - pagbati ni Flynn

" Ah yes, ssss- sir. " - Celeste

" So, what to discuss? " - Flynn

" Sir, I just want to ask you kung bakit ganon kadali para sayo na iapprove yung film proposal ng network namin? Sabi saakin ni Ms. Zara na kilala kang direktor. And... " - Celeste

" Is there any problem about that, Ms. Valentino? Tsaka, let's act normal please. Para kasing kanina ka pa kinakabahan e parang four years? I guess four years lang tayong hindi nagkita chill ka nga lang. " - Flynn

" What do you mean act normal, sir? Hindi na tayo teenagers na nasa college love story or what. I'm asking you professionally. " - Celeste

" Ohhhhh, okay okay. Wala naman kasing masama sa pag approve ko ng film proposal nyo? I did it because I know you for so long. Alam kong malaki ang pagmamahal mo for writing. This is your ultimate dream, right? " - Flynn

" But, you don't have to. Do you think your actions are professional? I mean,  inapprove mo lang just because kilala mo ako? No. Hindi mo nga ako kilala. " - naiinis na pag sagot ni Celeste

" Excuse me, Ms. Valentino? Are you questioning me? Bakit parang galit ka sakin? All I want is to work with you and see what you can do. Pero I guess this is something off from you. " - mahinhin na pag sagot ni Flynn

" Sorry if I'm acting like this, pero it's very unfair. I want to challenge myself, to compete with myself. Tapos effortless makukuha ko ang approval mo? Approval ng isang greatest director kuno? Alam mong hindi ito ang tinapos ko, Flynn. But still, you're acting like you're there to support me. Hindi na kita tutor or life adviser. " - sabi ni Celeste habang naluluha ang kanyang mga mata

" It's not about that, Celeste. Hindi ko alam saan nanggagaling yung issues na'to. Sorry if you think na dahil sa ginawa ko natapakan ko yung pride mo to make yourself proud. That's not what I want to do. But, okay. If cutting this collaboration will make you feel better, then, let's end it. I will talk to your network heads later. " - mahinhin na pag sagot ni Flynn

* Pagkatapos magusap ni Flynn at Celeste ay umuwi na si Celeste habang lumuluha. Hindi niya lubos maintindihan ang tunay niyang nararamdaman. Naguguluhan siya sa mga bagay na umiikot sa kanyang isipan. *

" Ang tanging pangarap ko ay muli kang makapiling, ngunit sa sandaling masilayan ka uli ay tanging hapdi at lungkot mula sa puso ang aking nadama. Matagal kang nawala, hindi man lang nagparamdam at ngayo'y muling babalik na para bang bola na itinapon lang upang bumalik sa panahong gusto niya. "

* Kinabukasan.... *

( TELE MISSION NETWORK )

" Cel, buti naman dumating kana. Pinapatawag ka ni Mam Aura sa meeting room. " - sabi ng kaibigan nyang si Gia

" Ah, okay. Salamat. " - matamlay na pag sagot ni Celeste

( Meeting Room )

" Mam? Pinapatawag niyo daw po ako? " - Celeste

" What did you just do, Celeste?? Did you lose your mind?! Direk Flynn Ryder talked to me last night and he explained that our collaboration with him is cancelled. " - pagalit na sabi ni Ms. Aura

" Mam.. " - Celeste

" Hindi ko to ineexpect from you, Ms. Valentino. Selfishness at its finest. I don't have any idea kung ano ang sinabi mo sakanya during your meeting. Pero at this point, you will be suspended for 2months. That's so irresponsible. " - galit na pagsagot ni Ms. Aura

" I'm so sorry mam. " - Celeste

" I don't need that word! You ruined our network's first ever film proposal. What the—!" - Ms. Aura
