What's The Real Score? [JerNella]

Chapter 30

JANELLA'S POV

"Janella, are you considering on turning to Dreamscape? Maganda ang offer nila." Alok ni Tita Gidget. I just shrugged.

I don't know, I feel like mas kampante ako sa unit ko ngayon, mas komportable pa. Pero sabi nga nila, minsan kailangan nating makalabas sa comfort zone natin to gain the best experiences. And sa Dreamscape, baka mangyari iyon.

Dreamscape is already offering me a teleserye, maybe at the end of 2015 masisimulan ang paggawa.

"Take all your time. Just let me know if you've decided."

Bumeso siya sa 'kin bago umalis.

GMO is like my family already, I hate to leave but maybe leaving is inevitable in this industry. Though I may leave, I'll make sure to look back. That is.. if I'll choose to leave soon.

My trance got disturbed when my phone rang. Pero napangiti ako nang makita ang picture ni Jerome as the caller ID.

"Good morning," bati niya na halatang bagong gising.

"Good morning," tugon ko, nagpipigil ng ngiti dahil maraming staff ng ABS-CBN sa paligid. "Napatawag ka?"

"Gusto ko lang magpaalam," I sensed excitement in his tone. "Magpaalam kasi magbabakasyon ako sa Malaysia."

"Talaga? Ilang days? Kailan?" sabik kong tanong, more like, disappointed kong tanong. Please be less than a week, please.

I may sound selfish and clingy right now, pero ilang araw ko siyang hindi nakasama. I only get to contact him through calls and texts since busy kami. Tapos mangingibang bansa pa siya ng ilang araw?

Fine, I'm being selfish. Looks like he's really excited about it so.. I'll be fine with it.

"Siguro sa makalawa? Mga 3 days."

3 days? Fine with me. I mentally sighed, "Okay. Nasaan ka ngayon?"

"Nasa set, next next week matatapos na kami sa taping. Ikaw, nasaan ka?"

"ABS, I signed a contract with Dreamscape for Wansapanatym." I gladly announced.

"Woah! Nice one!" magsasalita pa sana ulit siya pero may tumawag ata sa kanya sa set. He was apologetic nang kausapin na ulit ako. "Sorry, may scene na ulit ako. I'll call you later?"

"H'wag na, magpahinga ka na lang mamaya. Okay?"

"Okay," I was ready to hung up the phone when I heard him say, "Wait!"

"Why?"

"Thank you, Jea. Promise, babawi ako sa 'yo pagkabalik ko. I miss you."

That made me smile. "Okay lang, ano ka ba. And I miss you too."

When I ended the call, nag-aya na ako pauwi dahil nakaramdam na ako ng gutom.

"Lagi ka namang gutom," biro ni Mama. Natawa na lang ako, so true. Kain ako ng kain these past few days, well I don't have that hectic schedules anymore so I'm enjoying my free time with food. "Mamaya ipagpalit ka ni Jerome kapag tumaba ka."

Napatigil ako sa pagnguya ng cookie na ibinigay sa 'kin ng Dreamscape staff kanina. Great. Way to ruin my appetite, Ma.

I know that's supposed to be a joke, pero baka tama siya. Would he prefer someone slimmer? Sexier? If I get fat, would he be annoyed and disgusted? Aayawan na ba niya 'ko?
