"Cut!" The director announced and everybody clapped. Second to the last shooting day and everybody's just so excited to go home after a week of staying in a remote area where signal is impossible. "Thank you, team! Excellent job! Remind ko lang ang lahat na last day na natin bukas kaya sana makapagpahinga ang kelangan magpahinga."
Yung glam team ko was all smiles when they approached me and started to wipe my sweaty face. "Beh, isa ka talagang alamat at halimaw sa actingan, most importantly, a blessing to the production. Aba, panay one take ang mga eksena!" Justin told me and kunwari nasa akin ang buong atensyon nya. Truth be told, pinaparinggan nya lang yung co-actor ko.
"Jazz, kulang ka lang sa iced coffee." I mouthed sorry to Wade, yung kapareha ko sa proyekto na to. Nasa tapat lang kasi namin siya and ng PA nya.
"Eh kasi naman-"
"Tama na yan."
I brought my RV (artista van) and the old one na niregalo pa ng pinsan kong si Cole. Mabuti nalang di ko pa nabebenta kasi malaking tulong sya sa akin ngayon. Nakokonsensya kasi ako na ako lang yung magiging comfortable sa amin dito sa location. I care for my team so much.

They take care of me palagi kaya deserve nila yung same na pag-aalaga from their Katreng. ☺️
"Kath, pagkatapos ng dinner, shot tayo," Wade cooly said.
"I would love to, Wade, kaso may inaaral akong script for a hosting stint eh. Maybe next time?"
He just nodded and smiled.
He's not bad at all naman. Nung nagkausap kami ng masinsinan, nalaman kong may pinagdadaanan sya. Inintindi ko nalang tutal, matatapos narin naman yung shooting. After ng post-prod, promo nalang ang aatupagin namin and then yung paglipad for Cannes Festival.
Pumasok ako sa van and nagshower. I planned to skip dinner actually and humiga nalang habang nagbabasa.

Sa apat na araw na nandito kami malayo sa kabihasnan at walang signal, narealize ko na kaya ko naman palang mabuhay nang walang social media. Staying here is actually a detox.
"Ouch!" Nasagi ko yung sugat ko sa tuhod. I got it when Alden and I went biking with his cousins. Little Miss Clumsy was at it again, you know.
No pain, no gain. Ang clear nyang nagplay sa brain ko... these were the exact words Alden always tells me that time.
Aish! Bakit ko ba naalala yung tukmol na yun.
. . .
___ Alden's POV
I am always chill. I have always been chill. Ngayon lang hindi.
"Ya' bakit po may press sa labas ng gate?"
"Huh?"
Sinilip ni yaya ang labas ng bahay. Nakisilip narin ako, as if di ko pa sila nakikita kanina nung palabas ako para mag jog.
"Naku, magmamarites na naman tong mga to sa pribadong buhay ng alaga ko. Namumukhaan ko ang ilan sa kanila, RJ. Mabuti pa, dumito ka na muna sa loob ng bahay. Tatawagan ko lang ang alaga ko."
"Ya, hindi nyo po yun makakausap kasi diba sabi nya sa isolated area yung location nila?"
Dahan dahan kaming umalis sa bintana. "Paano na ngayon to. Eh akala ko ba exclusive tong village na to, bakit nakapasok yang mga yan?"
"Yan nga rin po iniisip ko eh. Teka po, tawagan ko lang yung lawyer ko."
"Lawyer agad?! Pwede naman yung guard lang."
"I don't want to dwell about it personally po eh."
"Osya, ikaw na ang bahala. Tatapusin ko lang yung niluluto ko."
I dialed Attorney's number and luckily sinagot agad. I told her about my concerns and she assured me that she'll take care of it. She also advised me not to go out yet at baka makita ako ng press.
It dawned on me now... that I married THE KATHRYN BERNARDO. 🙃

Paano ba ako makakalabas na hindi nila ako makikita? Hinihintay na ako ng mga kasama ko sa pagtakbo. We need to complete a 10Km run.
My phone rang. Hindi ko na sana sasagutin kaso best friend ni Kath ang tumatawag. "Ashley, what's up?"
"I sent you an article. May write-up about you and my best friend. May picture nyo pang dalawa. Blurred naman yung kuha and blind item ang nakapost pero syempre bilang kilala ko kayong dalawa, affirmative talaga na kayo yun."
"What?!"
I hurriedly checked the attachment. Bingo!

May mga tao talagang obsessed sa buhay ng may buhay. "Ash, I will take care of this na muna. Wala si Kathryn."
"Sa makalawa pa nga ang uwi nya," the person at the other line just sighed, "but I know you'll take care of this. Thank you."
I forwarded the link of the article to my lawyer. She'll hunt down who wrote it as well. She can buy the person, I don't care how much. Ayoko lang na stress ang maaabutan ni Kathryn sa pagbalik nya.
