"Good morning my Chantal. Sabay na tayo?" It's been almost 3 months at hanggang ngayon ay hindi pa rin sya umaalis sa condo ko. It's like we're basically living together. No matter what I do he just keep coming back. I even report it to the police but he said that we have a lovers' fight na pinaniwalaan naman nila. Of course he's well respected individual and such accusation can be easily dismiss. He's also influential and has quite a power. I tried to runaway or getaway even for a day or two but he always appear knocking on my door. At some point I just gave up. Nothing is working. He won't let me go.
Radon didn't message me again and I have no rights nor courage to appear in his life anymore. The best thing I can do is to let him. I just lost a wonderful companion.
"Baby?" I was pull back to reality when he hands me the vegetable salad. He makes it better and he does it everyday.
"No. Why don't you just go back to your mansion or something." Umupo sya sa tabi ko habang ngumunguya ng toast bread.
"We're not having this conversation again. Eat na baka malate ka hindi ba ngayon yung charity runway show?" Namove kasi yung runway event. Supposedly 2 months ago pa dapat ginanap pero nagkaroon ng ilang issues.
He hand me the fruit drink and I drink it. Natigilan naman ako. It's like very natural on us. I will nag him to go back to his place but he will just turn it down. He will make me foods, we will see each other at work, sleep together and wake up in each other arms. I hate to admit it but I'm getting comfortable with his presence.
"Are you sure? ayaw mong ihatid muna kita?" Umiling lamang ako at tumayo. Tapos na din akong kumain at kanina pa ako chinachat ni Shane.
Tumayo din si Shawn at hinalikan ako sa pisngi. He always does this, minsan sa labi pero pinag aawayan talaga namin kaya nagsesettle sya sa cheeks.
" Good luck! I'll attend later. See you my Chantal." Hindi na ako umimik at dumiretso na paalis. I don't know what to say kasi unti unti na ako nasasanay sa kanya. He wakes me up in the morning, reminds me of my appointments, bid me goodbye and greets me home. It's like were in a relationship and happily living together.
"Grabe sobrang daming sikat na tao. Pati mga artista nadidito. Mga model din yung iba." Ella said as we walk our way to the backstage. The event is about to start and I'm wearing the first piece to be shown. This is the annual charity runway show and it's also a big event. It is broadcast live to public media and televisions. After few minutes ay nagstart na ang program. There's the speech and such while I'm listening and waiting to get called.
"Chantal?" I look back and saw a famous actress. It looks like she's also a model. She has a foxy eyes and full lips. She has a short hair with a tall stature. She's very pretty.
"Yes?" I smile at her and she smile back and offer a shake hand.
"Hi! I'm Nathalia Elmira, a huge fan of yours!" She's a very jolly person. I didn't expect it because she always play the role of villainess.
"Hi! Thank you! Nice to meet you too I'm Chantal Madrigal." We shake our hands and talk while waiting to be called. I haven't see her in previous practice maybe because she has an ongoing drama and busy with shootings and such. Maya-maya pa ay pinaghanda na kami at nagsimula na ang ramp.
I couldn't open my eyes properly at first because of camera shutters everywhere. Nang maka adjust na ang mata ko ay halos mawala ang confidence ko sa sobrang dami ng tao.
It's much more than the previous runway show maybe because there are many people invited right now and last time was selected. After my first ramp ay agad akong hinila ng mga kasamahan ko para magpalit ng bagong i eexhibit na dress. Ganun ang nangyari hanggang halos matapos ang event. Right now I'm wearing a black fitted dress with complicated laces. It is covered with glitters and has a low neck and high slit.
This is the last piece to be shown. I couldn't help but think that I'm like the star of the show. I did the opening and closing ramp so it's quite overwhelming.
I did the final ramp and all eyes on me. I heard thw clapping sound as I exit the platform. Finally, it's over. I'm so tired.
I change to a simple black flowy backless dress and wear my hair down. Paglabas ko ay agad akong sinalubong ng mga kaibigan ko.
"Here water and food. Pinabibigay ni Sir Shawn." Shane hands me a sandwich, protein bar and a bottle of water. I ate it agad kasi yung breakfast ko pa lang kanina ang laman ng tyan ko. I'm not allowed to eat more since Im gonna exhibit multiple dress and I need it to stay fit.
It seems like he knows that I won't eat much dahil kailangan ko na ding lumabas agad para makipagsocialize. After five minutes ay nagretouch ako bago lumabas. I am instantly surrounded by reporters. They ask me few question and I gladly answer all of them.
Matapos ay nilinga ko ang aking mata para maghanap ng pamilyar na mukha. I unknowingly look for Shawn because I haven't see him but I know he's here. I'm getting sidetrack by multiple people exchanging pleasantries and after a while I saw him.
I saw Shawn with Nathalia. They are talking and Nathalia is coyly laughing habang marahang hinahampas si Shawn. Shawn on the other hand has a straight face while saying something.
My brow instantly furrowed. I feel a sudden pang on my chest and I feel so angry that I want to detach her arms that touched him. My eyes widen with that thought. Why am I getting a violent reaction from this? I grit my teeth and turn my back to them when our eyes met. I was about to get some drinks when a man with blue tuxedo appear right in front me.
"Hi Chantal. I'm Cloud Rivero." I know this guy. He's a heartrob with millions of fandom. He's like a celebrity crush.
"Hello! Nice to meet you." I smile sweetly at him. I heard a few camera clicks but I didn't bother. He's out there flirting with other girl. We talk for a bit. I might get into a dating scandal but I'm too furious to care. Marahan ko din sanang hahampasin si Cloud sa braso ng may humigit sa aking braso at hinila ako palayo.
"What the fvck are you doing? Are you trying to make me mad?" iwinaksi ko ang kanyang kamay at kumuha ng drinks. Agad ko itong ininom at gumuhit ang pait sa aking lalamunan. I drink more and more hanggang sa inagaw nya sa akin ang baso.
"What do you care? Nakikipaglandian ka nga sa iba diba? Why don't you go and live with her." I almost raise my voice and he seem shock. I think I also turn red from shouting, anger and alcohol. Maya maya ay sumilay ang ngiti sa kanyang labi.
"What? Why are you smiling? Do you like that thought so much? Go live with her! For all I care!" I roll my eyes and almost kick his mouth because he's just keep on smiling. He put his mouth in my ear before he speak.
"My Chantal, baby are you jealous?" My eyes widen and I step back from his delusion.
