The Public Stunt

Episode 42: JarFyang Comeback

"Hello, everyone," Jarren's deep british voice came.

I cannot move. I cannot think anything. All I know that moment... is that I, somehow, slightly... just slightly... miss that deep voice of him.

Ngayon tuloy ay hindi ako mapakali sa kinauupuan. Lalo na noong maupo siya sa tabi ko. His perfume was just as strong and as manly as he is right now. I cannot contain my intimidation. God knows how I wish it is not reflecting on my face right now because the last thing that I want to read in the news paper tomorrow js me... being intimidated by this man beside me.

"Oh my God..." most of the crowd said.

Lahat sila ay hindi makapaniwala sa nakikita. Lahat sila, gulat na gulat kagaya ko. Hindi ko maintindihan kung ano ba ang una kong dapat na maramdaman, ang magulat ba o ang mahiya? Pero bakit naman ako mahihiya?

I tried to smile, nang magtama ang mga mata namin ni Jarren ay napalunok ako. But I forced myself to smile at him.

"Hi," gosh, I wished my giggle is not awkward, "long time, no see..."

Pero napakurap na lang ako nang para bang wala siyang narinig. Hindi niya ako sinagot. Ni hindi niya rin ako nginitian pabalik. He just travelled his gaze towards the media people. Leaving me here, na para bang isang hangin na walang halaga para sa kanyang atensyon.

Luh?! Etchusero?!

"Alam mo ba ito, Fyang?" Ang tanong ng isang reporter.

Umubo ako at tumawa nang pilit, "ahm... hindi po," matapos ay hinampas ko si Jarren sa braso, "this is our first time to see each other again. Kamusta ka na, Jarren?"

Lahat ay nagtilian. As in, para ba silang nakakita ng ipis.

That moment, Jarren diverted his gaze at me. I swallowed hard when all of a sudden, he smiled at me while biting his lips.

"I miss you, Fyang," he told me without a warning.

Doon ay nagtilian na naman tuloy ang lahat. Hindi lang basta nagtilian, lahat sila ay nagwawala! Ang o-OA ng mga atteco???!

"Ehehe," ang tanging naisagot ko na lang talaga kay Jarren.

Teka lang naman, atteco!!! Bakit biglang ganyan naman?! Teka kase!!! OA!!!

Matapos niyon ay napuno pa kami ng katanungan. Lahat sila ay G na G mag-work! Hindi nila kami tinantanan sa mga intriga! Wala hinto. Walang time-out. Hanggang sa si Mama Cece na lang talaga ang pumigil sa kanila. She helped the bodyguard to escort us towards the backroom.

"Soooo," ang panimula ni Mama Cece right after we went inside the room. I sat infront of the vanity mirror while Jarrent sat in the couch. "Anong pakulo iyon, Jarren?"

"What are you talking about?"

Mama Cece smirked, "sinong nag-utos sa iyo na biglang sumulpot sa media conference earlier?"

"My manager," ang walang ganang sagot ni Jarren.

I just stayed here, I just stared at him. Pero kusa din naman akong napaiwas ng tingin noong hubarin niya ang kanyang leather jacket. It revealed his musculine biceps. He was so muscular now. Mayroon na rin siyang tattoo sleeves sa kanyang braso. Making him looked so manly in my eyes right now.

"Sino naman ang Manager mo?" Patuloy na pang-iintriga ni Mama Cece.

Hanggang sa biglang nagbukas ang pinto. Then it revealed the person whom I respected the most.

It was Mr. W, the President of the talent agency of my Network. He was the person behind my comeback. He was the one who developed my career up until I reached my peak.
