The Premiere Night.

The Moment of Truth.

And though I'm not even sure if I can do this, my conviction is strong. They need to know. Dylan needs to know. Marco needs to know.

"Miaka! Where were you?", sabi sa akin ni Ms. Shei nang makita niya ako.

"I was out somewhere."

"Yeah, I know, I have been looking for you buong araw."

"I did something important."

"Mas importante pa ba yun sa premiere night ng movie mo?"

"Apparently."

"Are you even listening to yourself?"

"I'm serious."

"Ok,ok. Whatever that is, let's talk after the event. Dun ka na sa dressing room, nandun na din ang make-up artists. Be ready in 20 minutes."

"Ok, I'll see you later."

"Mia....."

"Yes, Ms. Shei?"

"This is another spotlight for you, isa pang magandang blessing. I'm proud of you, now smile and show me that you're happy, too. Forget what's bothering you."

I faked a smile and got myself to the dressing room.

Honestly, I lost trust to anyone. With what I found, how could I smile? How could I forget something so important? With this in my hands, I felt the responsibility of letting everybody know about it and it bears more and more weight on my shoulders. Ever since that night I first heard Mr. Pardilla, I was selfish and ignorant. Mas inuna ko ang sarili ko. Inisip ko na kawawa ako pag nagkataon, sa huli, naisalba ko ang sarili ko, pero sa araw-araw na lumipas ay unti-unti di akong naguilty. Alam ko na unfair ang lahat para kay Dylan, pero tumahimik lang din ako. Napakaselfish ko. Pero ngayon, hindi ko na palalampasin ang pagkakataong ito. Ngayong gabi, malalaman na ng lahat.

"Please welcome, Mr. Marco Angelo San Juan!"

Nagpalakpakan ang lahat.

"Salamat po sa inyong suporta.", bungad ni Marco.

There's something wrong with my hearing. All I can hear is buzzing and ringing. Am I that nervous? I looked at Marco and he was seriously thanking everyone for supporting the movie and I was just there sitting and sweating all of my make up off. He pointed at me and then my senses came back because of the people's applause.

"Siya! Siya ang salarin!", sabi ni Marco.

"Ako?"

"Oo, ikaw Miaka! Ikaw ang dahilan!"

Natigilan ako. Anong pinagsasabi ni Marco?
