Chapter 33

Gwen's POV:

Sino na naman kaya tong unknown number. Been receiving a lot lately.

Sinagot ko na lang para matapos na. I'm not a fan of answering calls from strangers but who knows baka mamaya emergency yun.

Gwen: Hello? This is Gwen speaking, who's on the other line?

Unknown caller: ah hello po Miss Gwen! Sorry to bother you with call early this morning. This is Maan po yung friend ni Jho. Staff who assisted you po sa Star Make it.

Gwen: Ah yeah I remember.

Maan(staff): I heard from the other staff po na tinawagan na po kayo to inform you the other day of your call back po? Specificially for modelling and singing. When po kayo available to visit the office to have a final meeting po with a manager?

Gwen: Uhm.. Miss Ma'an. I know that each candidates' profile should be kept confidential. But I did ask Jho a favor, if you can look up to the specific auditionee's profile status. The one who's name is Sheena Catacutan.

Maan(staff): Ah yes, I remember Jho mentioned it a few times. Sorry been very busy kasi dami po talaga applicants. But I'll check it today and marked it as one of the priorities. I've got lots of utang-na-loob from Jho so this should be just a piece-of-cake favor for me to do for her.

Gwen: Thank you. Will be looking forward to it.

Maan (Staff): May I know your final answer po?

Gwen: Ahm. Sorry I don't want to be sounding like pa-importante or primadonna, but if kaya sanang makahintay ng sagot from me after hearing what will be Sheena Catacutan's application status will be, I'll give the answer then.

Maan (Staff): No worries po Miss Gwen. The manager and the judges sees your big potential aside po sa napakagandang portfolio niyo. They will be willing to wait. Asikasuhin ko na po yung kay Miss Sheena Catacutan right away and I'll give you an answer in a day or two po.

Gwen: Alright! Thank you.

Maan (Staff): Thank you din po Have a nice day Miss Gwen!

Gwen: Likewise. Bye.

---- End of Call--

I think it's a wise decision to answer this privately. I lied kay Sheena na hindi pa ko tinatawagan. I mean may mga line up photoshoots and modelling gigs pa naman ako sa iba.

Hindi ko lang talaga kayang i-break yung heart ni Sheena knowing na mas dream niya to, kesa sakin.

Kaya nga I called Jho agad the other day, to check what happened kasi sa pag kaka alala ko, okay na okay naman si Sheena eh. She did great especially sa dancing. plus she's damn pretty to not be noticed by the panel that time.

So baka na overlook lang or natabunan yung profile niya.

Hindi ko alam if balak ko pa tanggapin yun if ever hindi talaga siya pasado. But we can try naman siguro sa other competitors.

Haist Gwen. What is really happening? You're putting your dreams on the line for one girl?

Maybe.. maybe.. I-I'm starting siguro to have a crush on her.

Tapos yung binangkal, reminded me of Aiah. She used to love eating those with me. In fact sobrang adik niya dun, when it's that time of the month, ayun daw ang cravings niya. T.M.I.

Makabalik na nga. Baka matabang na yung iced coffee.
