JASMINE'S POV

Lolo's secretary has been texting me ever since I started ignoring my grandfather's call. Dahil din sa binigay kong statement, hindi muna ako umaattend sa mga events dahil alam kong tatanungin nila ako.

I just have to get away from all of these. All of it are too much to take in at the same time. Kaya nakituloy muna ako sa house ni Johnny. Mabuti nalang talaga at may kaibigan ako na tumutulong sa akin ng ganito. Kung umuuwi pa rin ako sa unit ko, I would have dragged out by my lolo's men.

At saka, Daniel told me that Tyler has been visiting me lately these days. Gusto niya sigurong ipakita kay lolo at lola niya na nag-eeffort siya. Alam ko naman na importante sa kaniya ito, but this is important for me too.

It's a matter of my freedom to choose. Siguro naman ay pupuwede ko ng ipaglaban ang sarili ko. Lalo na ngayon, it's been four years. Siguro ay maganda na ang buhay nito. I don't know what happened to him because I choose to cut any communication with him four years ago. Lolo can't use that against me anymore.

"This is your script. Since magbyabyahe tayo papuntang location, make sure to read it tonight para makapagpahinga ka sa byahe bukas. Gigising tayo ng 3 am bukas, okay?"

Kinuha ko ang manuscript na binigay niya sa akin at binasa ang titulo.

Barangay Guerrera Love Story

Intriguing. I wonder kung kilala ko ba ito or hindi. But then again hindi naman ako nagtagal sa Barangay Guerrera kaya maaaring hindi ko ito kilala.

I only knew a few people in that place.

Huminga ako ng malalim at nginitian si Johnny. "Okay, babasahin ko tonight."

"Good. Sige at mag-aayos pa ako ng mga dadalhin natin. Maiwan na kita."

Johnny left me after that. Tumigil na rin ako sa pagtitingin ng social media ko para basahin ang manuscript na iyon.

During the script reading, we read about the first encounter of the two main leads. It was a wholesome teen-age love drama. A boy living in a province who fell in love with a city girl who started to live there. Very stereotype but also fresh and cute.

Naisip ko na nga na pamilyar sa akin ang ganoong set-up. I was also once a city girl who lived in a province and met a boy in her age who's fun to be with. Kaya hindi ako nahirapan na i-akto ang mga salita doon.

Also, Peter Ventura is really good even at script reading. Talagang mahahalata mo na mahal na mahal niya ang kaniyang trabaho. At kahit ganoon pa man, you will never feel little beside him. You will be inspired instead. Kaya ginanahan ako na ipakita rin ang galing ko sa pag-arte.

Ngayon ko lang din narealize how embarrasing it was to speak in front of the author like that last time. Nahawaan ako sa dedication ni Peter Ventura. Imbes na masamain niya ang naging kumento ng author, he used it as a motivation to improve. Kaya I was inspired to that. I want to be like him.

I smiled at the funny scene and turn the next page. It was a normal classroom day. The main lead named Vince was running around when he stopped to say hi to the leading lady, April, pareho pa ng second name ko. He is very famous when girls really talk about him in this scene. I just stopped when I read some familiar dialogues.
