[R18] Ang Artista and The Ex

Chapter 1

Abigail's POV

"Ma'am eto na ang kape niyo..." Napatingala ako sa secretary ko na si Pamela na may dalang kape habang sinasara ang pintuan na nasa likod niya.

"Paki baba nalang diyan." Binalik ko ang aking mga mata sa mga sketches ko at patuloy ang pag i-isip ng ideas para sa next designs.

"Parang kwarto na yung office niyo ah..." Paikot-ikot si Pamela sa office ko. My office indeed looked like a room in a house. Dito ko na kasi pinapatulog si Genie at yung bunso ko dahil wala namang mag ba-bantay sa mga bata sa bahay.

Lalo't na't bakasyon. At tsaka, busy narin ang mga kaibigan ko na dating tumutulong sa'kin.

Marco found a girl he is now serious with- which was Eliza, Lizette is happily engaged with Billy, Cinco's status? Its complicated. A.J - was still a playboy and Gavin is happily married.

At kung i-isipin ko, ako nalang pala ang single sa mga mag ka-kaibigan. But I don't think na kaya ko pang mag-hanap ng iba.

All what matters is I have something to feed to my children.

"Ma'am sino siya?" Tinuro ni Pamela ang larawan ng isang lalake na naka-shades sa picture frame. Is she serious? Wala ba siyang T.V?

"The father of my children." Simpleng sagot ko since hindi naman niya namumukhaan si Gavin.

"Ay? Hindi asawa? Bakit may picture mo siya? Sus! Hindi ka pa move on ma'am noh!" Napasinghap ako at namula ang aking pisngi. Nakakainis how I still felt shy whenever someone teases me about Gavin. Move on the nga ako sa kanya!

"Hoy gaga! Jo-joke lang, si Gavin Buenavista kaya ito... Yung artista?" Tumayo ako at pumunta sa crib ng bunso kong si Gio. Anak namin ni Gavin.

"Ahh..." Tumango-tango si Pamela sa akin. Si Pamela ang secretary at kaibigan ko dito sa office, i-hire ko daw siya kasi kaibigan ko daw yung crush niya-si A.J. Wala na akong nagawa, kinailangan ko rin kasi ng secretary that time.

Binuhat ko si Gio at tumingin kay Pamela. "May kailangan ka pa? Sorry pams ah , medyo busy."

"Well, I'm here to inform you that Bituin Magic is offering you to be part of their team." Bituin Magic? Yung label ng mga sikat na artista?

"Wala akong balak maging artista Pamela!"

"Gaga, ikaw lang mag de-design ng damit nila during stage number nila. Hindi ka naman artistahin." Ouch lang ah.

"I'll think about it. Ilapag mo na lang ang mga documents sa lamesa."

"Sige, una na ako." At tuluyan ng lumabas si Pamela sa office ko.

Bituin Magic... Label ni Gavin.

"Gio, do you think we are ready to see you dad?" At alam Kong hindi ako handa. Natatakot ako na baka kunin ni Gavin sa'kin si Gio. I don't think I'll be happy to see Gio with Gavin and his wife. All happy while I'm suffering.

Kahit na sinubukan kong kalimutin si Gavin ay hindi ko magawa, Gio really looks likes his father. Ang daya nga kasi wala manlang namana sa'kin.

I kissed Gio's forehead before putting him in his crib, tsaka bumalik na sa trabaho.

Gavin's POV

"Salamat mga pre! Nag karoon din tayo ng proper bonding!" Tuwang tuwang sabi ni A.J.

"It's been what? Almost 3 years since we last had a proper bonding? The last time was Gavin's wedding?" Tanong ni Billy

"Yeah, I can't believe Gavin's a married man. Buong akala ko si Gavin at si Abigail ang magka-katuluyan." Singit ni Cinco.

"Hoy quiet nga kayo guys, baka marinig kayo ni Gavin... Gulpihin pa kayo." Natatawang sabi ni Lizette.

"I miss her. Siya na lang ang kulang."

Umupo ako sa upuan katabi ng Kay A.J, "sorry guys I'm late. So... What are you guys talking about?" I saw how pale their faces went. It's probably something I shouldn't hear.

"Nevermind for asking, how's everyone?" I tried changing the subject.

"Everyone's good, right guys?" Sagot ni Cinco at nag sitanguan naman sila.

"Ganyan ba ang married man Gavin? Late sa mga meetups natin?" A.J grinned

"Well, busy eh. Next time, promise."

"Hey, its been 2 years, wala pa kayong anak ni Margaux?" Tanong ni Billy.

I sighed as I shook my head. A-aminin ko, I wasn't really in love with Margaux during our wedding, pinakasalan ko siya to move on. During our first months together, walang sex na naganap because all I could think of was to stay faithful to Abigail. But now, we're having sex everyday without protection. Pero Hindi mabuntis si Margaux. She is very infertile.

"It's been two years bro..."

"I know, don't worry, we're trying..." I smiled as I drank a shot of Bloody Mary

"Anyways, I'm seeing Abigail this weekend. Anyone wanna come with me and Billy?" Nabigla ako sa sinabi ni Lizette. Its been a long time since I heard that name.

"The bride is here!" Nag-lakad si Margaux papunta sa altar while I glanced around the church nervously. Pinapaasa ko si Margaux. This isn't right.

I took Margaux's hand and smiled at her,"Bago tayo mag-simula, may tumututol ba sa kasalang ito?" Panimula ng pare.

I bit my lip. Hoping Abigail's voice will suddenly popped out of nowhere to stop the wedding. That was the other part of me. Pero yung isang banda ng isip ko was telling me that this is for her own good.

When my hope of Abigail stopping the wedding died, I just lost hope. She clearly didn't want you anymore Gavin.
