Behind the Scenes

Chapter 25

At last, we just finished this one day shooting! I really want to get this over so I can be with the girls na. I miss them so much. Our next schedule is on Wednesday pa next week. I miss performing with them and of course, I miss our live interactions with blooms.

Tomorrow is the start of my 3 rest days and I'm looking forward to spend my one afternoon of those with Fons and Ria. They've been bugging me for some quality time for besties naman daw.

Ms. Max, our MV director were very happy to the outcome of today's shoot. They said, me and Jeremy nailed it. Kinikilig sila kanina pa so I guess, it's a good thing for the MV, right?

It's six thirty in the evening and we are having dinner with all of the staffs in the production. I also have Ate Ica beside me now and all throughout the shoot. She's so good in keeping me calm and compose.

I'm scrolling through my inbox, ngayon ko lang nabasa yung messages ni Mikha simula pa kanina.

Message from Mikha Lim
10:17 am

'A, I know you're doing great sa shoot because that's what you are. Finish it asap and I'll promise to treat you ice cream and I will give you hugs!'

3:48 pm

'A, I had late late lunch with Staku and other dancers dun sa studio kung saan kami nagpa-practice sumayaw. It's so funny because I told the staff that today is Staku's bday and they sang hbd song in front of her! Hahaha!'

3:53 pm

'She's mad at me, A! Hahahaha!'

6:05 pm

'A, still not finish? ingat kayo sa byahe mamaya. Nahatak nila kami mag billiards and maybe one bottle? Hehe.'

I was back in trance when I saw someone in front of me.

"Aiah, you will stay here tonight with your team, right? Let's go somewhere? I can tour you around." Jeremy said cheerfully hoping I'll accept the invitation.

"Thank you for the invitation Jeremy, but we will be heading back na rin after this coz i have prior commitment."

"Are you sure? Sayang naman? How about I'll take you home early nalang tomorrow?"

"Sorry but I'm sure. Feeling tired na din kasi, thank you for the offer."

"Okay Aiah, I hope next time, I'll get a yes na from you." he said and flashed his signature smile.

"Aiah, gusto mo ba talagang bumyahe ngayon? You're not tired?" tanong ni ate Ica habang inaayos nila yung mga gamit sa van ni Kuya Omar.

"Honestly, I'm tired na ate Ica but I don't want to stay here and besides, hindi naman po ako yung magda-drive so you don't have to worry."

"Okay, mukhang kanina ka pa uwing uwi e."

We are now on the road, I wish walang traffic para naman makarating kami ng di gaano late.

'Mikha Lim, pauwi na kami. I think I did a good job naman sa shoot kanina based on their reactions. Hehe. Thank you for cheering me up.'

8:29pm

'Grabe ka talaga mag prank kay Staku! Pag 'yan talaga naka ganti sayo. Pero patingin ako ng video nya a. Hahaha'

8:30 pm

'Mikha Lim, yung one bottle mo hindi yan natutupad madalas. Are you still with Staku?'

While waiting for her reply, I decided to check X since I don't have anything to do here.

Ang galing! Bumungad agad sakin yung reposts ng mga pictures ni Mikha Lim together with some girls. Ah, billiards pala? Bakit hindi naman mga dancers kasama nya? Grabe pa makadikit sa picture yung isang girl akala mo kanya si Mikha at sobrang daring pa ng suot.

I continued scrolling sa comments and the blooms are not happy with the pictures too! Ganyan nga blooms, ipaalam nyo dyan kay Mikha Lim kung sino mas maganda sa amin ng girl na nakapulupot sa kanya!

What I like for those Mikaiah fans, is they always knows what I want Mikha to hear every time she's with other girls. Mikha should read their comments before it's too late. Baka talaga wala na syang mauwian na Aiah pag di ko napigilan 'tong nararamdaman ko.

I sighed. It's so hard to get jealous when in fact, I'm just a friend. Hindi ako pwede magsabing nagseselos na ako. So sad having this one sided feelings.

I tried to stay calm kasi nakita ko naman sa picture na Mikha is just standing there with her hands side by side but still naiinis ako! So I decided to message her for the last time tonight.

How can you say you're jealous without really saying it?

To Mikha Lim

'I see, you're enjoying playing billiards. Saw pics of you with your girls. Take care.'

After texting her, I posted a very cute picture of mine that ate Ica captured earlier.

Huh. You have to see what you're missing, M.

Then I put my phone down, close my eyes and tried to sleep.
