Ps. The picture of Dawn is her outfit in this chapter
In this story Dawn is a close friend of Aga.
Dawn POV
"I'll just call my daughter ha she's still sleeping I guess she had a late night yesterday, just feel at home Hija."
Sabi ni Mrs. Salonga samin ni Mark my P.A so she usher us in,as for Mark I told him to stay outside hindi rin naman kaya ng nerves niya big fan kasi ni Lea, so when I enter the first thing I thought was WOW JUST WOW, grabe to think that it's just a condo but the inside is so elegant like the owner, every corner were filled with wild flowers probably from fans and the wall's were covered by frames mostly Ms. Lea on stages to her daughter and occasionally with her husband, hmmmm well as they say sobrang private talaga itong si Ms Lea I wonder if she still remember me from our acting workshop at Viva Films I remember shes 15 and im 17 I think,
"Maria!"
I heard from upstairs and I cant help but smile hahahaha to think that im witnessing such a cute moment of The Lea Salonga. As I sit on a elegant dark green L sofa I notice a single frame which is somehow different from the other, plastic lang kasi at mukang mumurahin unlike the rest and to think that it's the frame shot from sana maulit muli I cant help think about Aga. I cant bealive na pumayag akong mauto ng Agago nayon ako naman tong ewan pumayag din, ang yabang mag representa tapus kakatok sa bahay at ako pinapunta well he owe me BIG TIME!.
After like 40 minutes yes 40 minutes gaano ba katagal magayos ang isang theater actress -.-
"Sorry hija, nakakahiya naman tagal mong naghihintay ayaw lang talaga nung humarap ng hindi presentable.... here try this tea Lea Brought it from London good for complexion daw eh"
Mrs. Salonga said and as I grab the cup I heard a heels, yes she's here, good luck sakin. I'll kill Aga after this......
"I'm sorry I keep you waiting I had a late night and yes my head I still pounding"
Ms. Lea said walking towards us so I stand up and held my hand for shake but I didn't expect to get a hug from her I mean She's the Lea !
"I miss you... it's been forever :-)"
Well I guessed naaalala niya ako so I flashed her my charming smile and said
"Well it's good to know na you still remember me Ms. Lea it's such an honor"
She lead me back to sofa and grab her own tea, I can't help noticing that yes she woke up late but she look like a runway model already and a epitome of elegance my gosh I think pang commercial na yung pag sip niya ng Tea.
"Dawn how can I forget the beautiful woman your like a big sis to me back in the 80's....soooo I know there's a reason for this visit?"
I'm amazed how she changed her tone from a playful to a business like, anyway I settled my cup down and remember why I'm here.... it's Job time..
"Ms. Lea you know...."
"Lea, just call me Lea "
She corrected me I guess im being too formal
"Lea you know that every year the Philippine Television Celebrates a Film fest...."
I cast a look at her to see if she's following , look like she's listening so I continued..
"This year is a special because of it's First Decade and Direk Malou Santos if you know her...?"
She nod her head yes
"Is planning a movie the crew and set is ready also of course the script....and what's missing is....."
I let it hang in the air hoping na ma gets niya I don't want to explain the whole details for Goodness sake I'm an Artist not a producer...
But your a friend my conscience says, yes I am.
"Me, am I right to assume that they want me to star in this movie?"
Well thank God Na gets niya very intelligent talaga, so I nod my head yes..
"Yes they want you and the reason im the one who's telling you this is you know they want it to be like a girl's talk"
I quoted in the air, the air arround us is thick and I can see na marami siyang iniisip but she's still not speaking so I started getting nervous.... my Gosh she's just a lil woman but hell she can intimidate with her gaze...
"Miss..ahmm Lea this is the Script sana you give this a chance im sure magugustuhan to ng mga Filipino fans mo"
I try this antic baka gumana , she stands up and face me
"Dawn I dont think I can , Tita Charo called me last night and ask me to guest at ASAP I said yes cause I look up to her, but Dawn Im not staying around for long.... I want to be back at new york by 3rd month.."
She explained softly, pano na to direk malou said that if it wouldn't be Lea Cancelled na ang movie and I know Aga need this Job to take he's mind off things
"Ahmm well if that's your case ayaw naman kitang pilitin but as an Artist I hope you give this a chance because napakaganda ng plot ng story it would inspire a lot of people especially you, you have a great influence..."
I stand up and grab my purse
"Thank you Lea for letting me in sana basahin mo yung script I leave my number there so you could contact me, I'll be at ASAP also this Sunday you can tell me your decision there but Lea the cast need to be completed before Tuesday, if wala parin it would be cancelled."
I told her keeping my voice firm I dont want to appear so desperate naman sa kanya, what could be the reason bakit ayaw niya did she know na na nasa cast si Aga? I hope it's not a problem..
"Ahm yes Dawn thank you for dropping by I'll be sure and read this script"
She walks me towards the door when she ask..
"Dawn how did you manage to come up here???"
Oopps nako
"Well I just use some of my connections I hope I didn't offend you?"
I playfully said... hehehehehe
"No you didn't, one last thing it seems important to you, this project"
She cautiously ask, ganon ba ka obvious yung muka ko ? I quickly schooled my features and smile.
"Yes it is, my friend needed the distraction"
I truthfully said, nakita kong kumunot ang noo niya so I pushed it pa malay mo mag effect...
"You would be helping a person just by agreeing Lea"
Antic paGuilty version 2.2 naman ginamit ko, lea grabs my hand and look in my eyes
"Do I know your friend Dawn?"
She aks with such an intensity I almost tell her the name grabe yung mata niya it's so expressive.
"Yes, you know my friend indeed"
