Since that night wala na ulit kami naging komunikasyon ni Kesho. Naging busy na siya sa taping oara sa bago niya role na gagampanan bilang male lead sa isang korean adaptation ng series na 'Behind Closed Doors'
"Steph." Si Ana.
Nasa isang sikat kaming kainan ngayo ndahil mag vlovlog na naman kami kasama ang manaver naming si Oscar. The restuarant prepared something for us to eat or taste then we'll rate it 1 to 10.
"Okay this one is called honey garlic shrimp with avocado and cliantro lime rice." Napangiti ako dahil gustong-gusto ko talaga ang lasa nito.
"Ummm, sakto lang." Komento ko.
"I will rate this as 9 out of ten." Saad ko.
Sumunod naman ang iba at natapos ang vlog naming busog kaming lahat.
Nahalata kong nawawala si Clea,iginala ko ang paningin ko at wala akong makita.
Saan naman siya nagounta eh aalis na kami mamaya. Siyempre as a group leader,kailangan nakaattension ako sa kanila palagi kapag ganitong may vlogs or kung ano mang activity ang gagawin namin.
Nang wala akong mahanap ay naisipan kong baka nasa CR siya.
"Guys,dito muna kayo, CR lang ako." Pero ang totoo ay gusto kong mahanap si Clea.
Nagtungo ako sa CR ng mga babae. Siyempre,as usual nagauot na naman ako ng cao at mask, VIP naman kaso may mga tao parin.
I heard someone like she's vommitting.
"Cle...Clea?" Tawag ko.
Hinintay ko siya hanggang sa lumabas. Nagulat ito nang makita ako.
"Kanina ka pa?" Nanlaki ang mga mata niya.
"Ah oo, okay ka lang?" Nakita kong humigpit ang hawak sa panyo niya.
Humalukipkip ako.
"I...I'm fine" she snapped, avoiding my gaze. The sharpness in her tone surprised me, but I could see the tension in her shoulders and the way she bit her lip. I know her when she's lying she always bit her lip.
"Clea, you don’t have to pretend with me,” I said gently, keeping my voice soft. “I heard you in there. It’s okay to talk about it.”
“I said I’m fine!” she shot back, her eyes flashing with frustration. I could tell she was on edge, and it hurt to see her like this.
“Look,” I said, taking a deep breath to steady myself. “I’m not here to cause trouble or make you feel worse. I just want to help. You’re my friend, and I care about you.”
She hesitated, glancing away as if weighing her options. “I just... I didn’t want anyone to see me like that,” she finally admitted, her voice softer but still defensive.
“You’re not weak for feeling overwhelmed,” I replied, trying to break through the wall she had built around herself. “We all have our moments. You can trust me.”
Clea looked at me then, uncertainty flickering in her eyes. “I don’t want to be a burden or worry anyone,” she murmured.
“You’re not a burden,” I insisted gently. “We’re a team. We’re supposed to support each other through the tough times. It’s okay to lean on me.”
She sighed heavily, the tension in her body slowly starting to dissipate. “I just... I don’t want to let anyone down.”
“You could never let me down,” I reassured her, stepping closer and placing a hand on her shoulder. “You’re one of the strongest people I know, but even the strongest need help sometimes.”
After a long moment of silence, Clea finally nodded, the defensiveness in her posture easing just a bit. “Okay,” she whispered, vulnerability creeping into her voice.
“Thank you for trusting me,” I said softly, feeling relieved that she was beginning to open up. I hugged her tightly.
Maybe I paid attention much to myself these last few days that's whay I didn't notice her being like this. Clea needs some help back then, at wala ako para alalayan siya. I closed my eyes and promised myself na hindi na mauulit ito.
