Chapter 27: Meet Again 

May mga tao na sa venue nang makarating kami roon. Gusto ko sanang makausap at makilala na iyong engineer at architect na kinuha ni Alyssa para itayo at ayusin itong event na ito para sa ngayong gabi. Ang kaso ay hindi pa raw sila nakakarating at papunta pa lang ng venue.

Pagkatapos ng event, pwede naming mai-display ang mga damit at gown na ginawa ko kasama sa mga dinesenyo ni Alyssa. Habang wala ako rito, siya muna ang mamamahala sa magiging negosyo naming dalawa.

Having my own shop store full of my works and designs has been my main goal ever since I was a kid. And now that they gave me an opportunity to achieve it, I didn't think twice to grab it. Halos roon ko na ituon ang buo kong oras at atensyon. 

Inasikaso ko na ang mga damit na kakailanganin mamaya para sa event while Alyssa watched over the models rehearsing backstage.

I just finished preparing all the final looks of the dresses with the help of some staff when Clea, the manager of the models I hired and also my secretary, burst into the dressing room, panting and panicking. Hawak niya pa ang kaniyang clipboard at ang lapel na nakakabit malapit sa kaniyang bibig.

"What happened?" Hindi ko na maiwasang mag tanong nang makita ko ang problemado niyang mukha.

"Miss, there is an adjustment regarding the lineup for tonight's show." Hinihingal niyang sabi, nag papanic pa rin. "I received a call from one of our models. Sabrina said she's sick and can't make it to the show tonight so we had to drop her out."

"What?" My brows furrowed. "Who can fill in, then?"

"We couldn't find anyone to be her replacement. No one here can take her spot either, Miss Tin. And other than that, we already lack of time."

"Oh, god, Jesus." I placed my hand on my forehead, trying to process what she just said.

The show will start soon. How and where will I find a replacement model at the last minute? I've prepared for this! We can't just let the event go for nothing! I can't ruin everything.

"Que se passe-t-il? Il y a un problème?" Allyssa showed up after hearing about the inconvenience.

"One of the models back away," I said as I sat on the couch, breathing in to calm myself down.

"Merde. Je le savais! That's why there are twenty of them and the one is missing in the rehearsal." Alyssa rolled her eyes. "Et maintenant, hein? We don't have any models here that can replace her spot."

I shut my eyes and stood up again, sighing. I don't have any other choice. This is the only thing that I could do.

"I will do it." I declared.

The room fell silent as Alyssa and Clea looked at me with surprise in their eyes. Which I could clearly understand. I had never modeled before, nor had I ever even thought of doing it except when I was in high school for a school beauty pageant. But I've been training the models for this event. I at least witnessed how they walked.

Kahit papaano, sa ilang taong pagdidisenyo ko at pag attend ng mga ganitong uri ng event, marunong akong mag lakad katulad ng mga sikat na modelo. I just never pursued it because the work doesn't fit me but in this situation now, I knew I had to do something.

Hindi ako papayag na mabalewala lang lahat ng pagod na inilaan namin rito para mapaghandaan ang event na ito.

"You'll be walking in the show?!" Clea finally talked after the shock.

Bumuntong hininga ako at tumango, pilit na ngumiti.

"I don't know if it will be as good as I planned since this is the first time that I will be walking in a runaway in front of many people but this is the only way we have," I said.
