LIRA POV
I fixed my sunglasses while looking at those artists delivering their lines.Seriously? They’ve been in industry for a year but they still don't know how to deliver the right emotion on this and why do they still keep on stuttering? Gosh!
“Still not satisfied?” Benj asked and laughed at me.
He is the director of this film.
“You’re the director so i dont have the rights to cut the scene or what just because im dissatisfied” Prankang sagot ko at tumayo na sa upuan ko.
Napangiti ako ng biglang sumigaw si Benj ng cut at tinatawag ang pangalan ko.
“I’ll give way to the writer. Go and tell them the right way on how they should deliver their words, Ms.Writer”
I look at Benj and can’t help but smile widely. He’s always like this kaya yung ibang staff ayaw na nasa set ako kapag ako ang writer kasi ipapakita ko talaga sa kanila kung gaano ko ka ayaw ang way ng pag deliver ng mga artista nila ng mga likhang ginawa ko well except for Benj.
He wanted me to always be around every time he was the director and I'm the writer. We are this close kasi we both attended same university and course eh. He knows me so much, He knows everything so much about me.
Well I'm so glad to have him in my life too though.
“Take care on your way home, okay?” Benj said a smile to me.
“Yeah same to you buddy” I said “By the way, I guess i won’t be able to go to work tomorrow. Lucas will be having his first stage play. Be proud of him because your baby is the main actor”
Natawa si Benj “I’m always proud of him pero grabe no? Nasa dugo talaga” He said and laughed.
Napasimangot ako at hinampas sya sa braso. Yes! I have a son and he is already six years old. Don't get it wrong, Benj is not the father lol.
As I adjusted the small crown on my son’s head, my heart swelled with pride. This was his first stage play. My baby looks so handsome as always.
“I’m nervous, mami,” Lucas said.
“It’s natural to get nervous because it was your first time but I swear kaya mo to ikaw pa ba?”
“Right hehe”
Sabay kami ni Lucas pumunta ng venue kung saan gaganapin ang stage play nila. Super daming tao na and i wasn’t expecting that.
I mean it’s just a small stage play of a kid.
Habang naglalakad kami ni Lucas sa hallway ng venue ay may naririnig ako na may special guest daw na sikat na artista.
Oh that explains why there's a lot of people here right now.
When the plays start, I can’t help but smile while watching my son acting on stage. Masaya ako,masayang to have him.
I was admiring my son when suddenly, someone sat beside me and talked.
“So you like watching stage plays now? Parang dati lagi mong sinasabi na it’s not your cup of tea and you preferred to stay at your room and write instead”
Para kong binuhusan ng malamig na tubig ng makilala ang boses nayon. Don't tell me he was the artist that was invited today?
Kumabog ng sobrang lakas ang dibdib ko at di sya magawang tignan. Ang mata ko ay na stuck lang sa anak ko na umaakting pa sa entablado. Gusto kong umalis at tumakbo pero paano ko gagawin yon? Hindi ko sya pinansin and i guess nakaramdam sya dahil kita ko sa peripheral vision ko na nag labas na lang sya ng phone nya at kiukuhan ang anak ko.
Gusto ko ng umiyak at umalis lalo na ng makita ko pa ang ngiti niya habang kinunan ng video ang anak ko. I really didn't know what to feel anymore.
When the play is done, My son smiles widely at me and waves his hands. He immediately run down on the stage and run towards me while saying the word,
“Mommy! I FINISHED IT!”
I kneel down and hug him tight and whisper how proud I am to him.
Sa kabila non ramdam na ramdam ko ang pares ng mata na nakatingin sa likod ko. Sinubukan ko na umakto ulit na parang di sya kilala pero he suddenly spoke again, calling my son’s attention.
“Kido, I like the way you act on the stage. I like your eyes, your nose, your lips. I don't know why but i saw my younger self on you” He said that made me clenched my fist “What a coincidence too because, Me and your mom know each other t..”
“Stop” May diin na saad ko at nilingon sya pero ang mata nya ay focus na kay Lucas na sobrang inosente ng mata habang nakatingin sa kanya.
“I like the pendants of your necklace too..” He said and look at me “I remember giving it to her when she leaves me during our 3rd year anniversary”
Our eyes locked, and everything I hid and lost flashed between us.
This was it.
The moment that I would rewrite our fate again.
