Secretly Married To A Superstar

Chapter 3

Sam Loise Alcantara

Pagod na sumandal ako sa upuan. I'm currently in my dressing room. Kakatapos lang ng photo shoot ko, para sa isang brand.

After ng shoot namin for the variety show, agad akong sinabihan ng manager ko na may schedule pala kami for photo shoot, nalimutan lang niya sabihin ng maaga dahil late lang din niya nakita.

It's been a long day, sobrang nakakapagod ang araw na 'to. I can't even complain, dahil una sa lahat, I choose this career; I love this path.

Pero madalas ding sumasagi sa isipan ko, what if I chose another path? What if hindi ko pinili maging isang Artist? Masaya kaya ako? Magiging tahimik ba ang buhay ko; will I be able to do anything without someone is watching? Will I be free?

Aminin ko man o hindi, I'm getting tired of the life I chose to. Gusto ko rin naman maging mapayapa ang buhay ko, 'yung tipong walang sunod ng sunod sa'kin, 'yung tipong I am free to hang out with somebody na hindi ako mai-issue, or 'di kaya naman, I can date someone whoever I like.

I guess kaakibat talaga ang pagkawala ng freedom mo once you entered the showbiz world.

My thoughts got cut off when someone tap my shoulder. It's my manager. "Hey, Sam, sorry for interrupting you again, I know you have a busy schedule pero I forgot to tell you na meron ka dinner date with Khalil." She said, apologetically.

I sighed and rubbed my temple. "Pwede bang ilipat na lang sa susunod? I'm not in the mood for that and besides I'm tired, I want to lay down on my bed."

"I'm sorry, pero we can't cancel it. Our agency wants you to have a Pr stunt para ma divert ang attention ng mga tao sa recent issue mo, at para marami pa ang sumuporta sa love team niyo."

Wala naman akong choice but to go. Maybe it's also right para hindi mag suspect ang mga tao na totoo ang rumor.

Tumango ako rito. "Okay, I'll get change lang, wait for me at the car."

She nodded and left. Tumayo na rin ako at nagpalit ng damit. I don't want to wear fancy clothes, hindi naman VIP ang kikitain ko.

But then again, I need to be presentable, kaya kahit casual clothes lang ang suot ko ngayon, dapat classy pa rin. Who knows baka maging headline ako hindi dahil sa kagandahan, kun'di dahil sa bad outfit.

Tsk tsk! Kahit ano namang damit ang isuot ko, maganda pa rin ako. *Hair flipped

"Hi! I'm glad you came. Take a seat, let's eat. Nag-order na nga pala ako, ang tagal mo kasi, gutom na ako." He sheepishly smile.

I secretly rolled my eyes. Hindi bagay sa kanya. "It's fine." I faked smile.

Meet Khalil Gomez, my current love team partner, and I don't like him. Why? Well firsr he's not gentleman, hindi man lang ako pinaghila ng upuan 'diba? Second a grown-up man will wait for his date bago umorder kahit gaano pa ito katagal. What if ayaw pala ng kadate niya 'yung pagkaing inorder niya 'diba?

Imbento ka gurl?

Third, but not the least, feeling gwapo kahit average lang naman siya. Kidding. Hindi naman ako bumabase sa looks pero kasi ang fake na nga niya umacting, ang hindi pa maganda fashion taste niya.

Gurl, wala pa kami sa crying scene pero siya mukha ng umiiyak. I know medyo newbie pa lang ako sa pag-act pero alam ko naman kung kelan iiyak sa scene. And did you know? 4 times a week niyang suot ang mga damit niya, hindi ko alam kung ayun lang ba talaga ang damit niya or sadyang hindi siya nagpapa laundry.

I'm not dragging down my love team partner ha! I'm just stating facts.

He probably won't be famous kung hindi dahil sa'kin. To be honest, hindi ko alam kung bakit siya ang pinartner sa'kin, para sa isang tulad ko na magaling mag-act, sumayaw at lalo na kumanta, hindi siya abot sa kalingkingan ko.

Anyways, enough of him. Ako ang bida rito, not him.

I should probably start eating na para makauwi na rin ako at makapagpahinga. I was busy minding my own business when Khalil suddenly spoke.

"Uhh-H-hey Sam, my manager texted me na we should act as a couple raw." Kamot-ulo pa nitong sabi.

My forehead creased. "Isn't having a dinner with you enough?" Pumayag na nga ako sa gusto nila makipag dinner, may pa ganito pa?

What if makita 'to ng asawa ko- wait? Why am I even concern sa reaction niya. Kasal lang naman kami sa papel at wala siyang karapatang pangunahan ako.

Tama, tama, I shouldn't think of her. This is my life. She's just a big asungot on my life.

Kumamot ulit ito sa ulo na para bang nahihiya. "W-well ayun lang sabi nila eh." May dumi pa sa gilid ng labi nito.

I sighed and kumuha ng tissue para ipunas sa gilid ng labi niya. I heard someone gasp.

I smirked. I think that's enough? I'm sure may nakapag picture sa amin. Tsaka look at him, tulala pa rin ito.

I cleared my throat. "I'm done eating, uuwi na ako. Thanks for the treat, take care."

Tumayo na ako and wear my sunglasses. Alam kong gabi but I'm famous you know, kaya need ng swag. Duh!

11:00 pm na ako nakarating sa bahay. I don't know why I'm nervous, siguro dala lang ng pagod kaya ganito.

Dahan-dahan kong binuksan ang front door namin. I made sure na hindi tutunog ang keys ko at ang pinto.

Nakahinga ako ng maluwag when all the lights are off. Siguro naman tulog na 'yung asungot.

Ilalapag ko na sana ang coat ko sa coach when the lights suddenly turn on.

"Where have you been? Anong oras na!" A cold voice said.

"I waited for so long doon sa isa mong shooting area! Nakauwi na ako lahat lahat wala ka pa rin?"

I slowly move back when papalapit din ito sa akin. "S-stay where you a-are!" I stuttered. I tried patigasin ang boses ko but I failed. I'm slightly good at acting but why am I suddenly not?

Why am I nervous? Bakit ba kinakabahan ang puso ko?

"Sasagutin mo tanong ko or sasagot ka?" Isn't that the same.

I gulped and fixed my posture. Hindi ako dapat natatakot, sino ba siya? I am the great Sam Loise Alcantara, at wala akong kinakatakutan.

I crossed my arms. "Why would I? At ano naman sa'yo kung saan ako nang galing? I have my own life kaya who are you to mange alam?"

I noticed her eyes darken. Suddenly my walls fell down, she cornered me and grab my waist and pinned me to the wall.

"Who am I? Ako lang naman ang asawa mo, darling? And you are my wife, hindi ko gustong nakikita ang asawa ko na nakikipag dinner sa iba." She lean closer to my ears.

"Kahit PR stunt lang iyon, I don't want you to wipe other men's lips. You're only allowed to wipe my lips, understood?"

I gulped. I feel hot. "Answer me, darling."

Am I being hypnotize?

I nodded. I can't seem to find my voice.

She smirked and move away. "Good, matulog ka na. Good night, dream of me, darling." The last thing she said before going to her room.

Ilang minuto rin akong natulala. I don't want to ever feel that again! Why am I like this?! I'm not marupok. Urghhh! Makakabawi rin ako sa kanya.
