"Ano pong sinasabi nyo na nagback-out si Jasmine?" pagtatakang tanong ni Harvey.
"She called me yesterday at sinabi niyang she'll not do this anymore."
"What? Why..? I know she need this."
"Wala na tayong magagawa Harvey. And it's better, nandito naman si Monique."
Sinubukan tawagan at i-txt ni Harvey si Jasmine pero hindi ito sumasagot at nagre-reply.
- Jasmine's POV -
Andito ako ngayon sa school, nagback-out na kasi ako dun sa pagiging partner ni Harvey sa MV niya. Sa lahat ng nababasa ko sa internet.. di makakabuti kay Harvey na ma-involve pa sakin. Yun na lang ang maisusukli ko sa kanya.
Lunch time na, papunta akong cafeteria nang makasalubong ko si Zac. Akala ko di niya ako papansinin.
"Jasmine! Anong ginagawa mo dito sa school? Hindi ba ngayon yung shoot ng MV ni Harvey?"
"Nagback-out ako. It's his precious debut, and he's better off without me there."
"What is the meaning of this?"
Si Jen!!
"What are you talking about? What's about Harvey's MV at bakit kailangan kasama ka dun?"
"It's because... okay I'll tell you the truth...
I'm Jasmine Fuentes."
"HAAAAAA?"
gulat na gulat si Jen sa narinig niya.
"So that's why... you... and Harvey... Oh I get it!! Wow, akala ko model ka lang, pwede kang pang-best actress Jasmine! Napaniwala mo kaming lahat dito sa school na pangit ka!"
"Jen..." hinawakan ni Zac yung braso ni Jen.
"What about me and Harvey? ... I don't understand.." sabi ko sa kanya O.o
"I'm not going to be fooled twice Jasmine. Nagsinungaling ka sakin nung nasa Baguio tayo, magkasama kayo ni Harvey! At narinig ko na gusto ka niya at gusto mo siya!"
"Ewan ko sa narinig mo but that's not true! Well, except for the fact that we're together."
"You're with Harvey sa Baguio?" tanong ni Zac. Grrr... ang hirap mag-explain!!
"Yes I lied to Jen na mag-isa ako, ayoko kasing maulit yung dati... baka magselos siya at magalit sakin. Coincidence lang naman na parehas kaming nasa Strawberry Farm nung mga panahong yun. *hinga ng malalim* Harvey told me that he likes me..."
"And you told him that you like him too!! I heard it!!" singit ni Jen, si Zac nakatingin sakin at naghihintay ng sasabihin ko.
Hmmm... may sinabi ba akong gusto ko din siya? Ahhh! *flashback* "I like you too.. but only as a friend. I'm sorry Harvey. And thank you, thank you for liking me." *end of flashback*
"Ahh! Yes, sinabi ko nga atang gusto ko din siya... pero as a friend lang."
"What? So hindi kayo?" tanong ni Jen.
"Nope! Did I ever told anyone na kami? Yes, he told me he likes me for how many times I can't even remember but I rejected him. We're just.. we're just friends."
"Really.. I'm so... I'm so stupid!" biglang umiyak si Jen habang takip-takip ng mga kamay niya yung mukha niya.
"I'm sorry.. I'm really sorry.. is the break-up.. between you and Zac, is it because of me?"
Niyakap ko siya.
"No, it's not your fault Jen."
It's not your fault Jen, it's no one's fault. My feelings and Zac's feelings are not mutual, that's it. period.
-couple of weeks later-
"What are you saying Jasmine? Bakit di mo ire-renew ang contract mo?"
"Manager, my time is already over. Jasmine Fuentes is so yesterday~"
"No, I'll do something I swear!"
"It's okay, madami na po kayong naitulong sa akin. Sobra sobra pa nga po eh and I'm thankful to you. I'll figure this out all by myself."
"Sigurado ka ba? Okay, if that's what you want. Alam ko namang di kita mapipilit, I know you very well. Basta pag kailangan mo ng tulong, wag kang mahihiyang lumapit sakin ah."
"Yes Manager."
That's how I said farewell to my life as a model. I don't have the confidence na mababalik pa ang lahat sa dati. I have lost almost everything I have, my work, my fans, my career, my popularty, and Zac (though he's not mine to start with).
*sighs*
But I still have my brother. I still have my savings. There's more to life!
