Chapter Three

"Ianna, you have a booking for Michael Cinco runway show. A print add for Victoria's secret perfume, an appearance as a guest judge for Asia's Next Top Model........."

Her assistant was cut off when her phone started ringing.

"Wait a minute Marie, it's my mom. I need to take this call."

Tumango ito at hinayaan siyang sagutin ang phone.

"Yes mom?" She asked sipping her drink.

Hija! Your Tita Mercy called....

Napakunot noo siya. It's been a week since their family dinner. She haven't heard any words from Blake or her parents.

"And?" She cautiously asked. Napatingin siya sa labas ng cafe kung saan sila nagkita ng kanyang assistant. Naubo siya ng makita si Blake at may kasama itong babae. They're even holding hands while walking. At papasok sila sa cafe na kinaroroonan niya!

Ianna? Are you okay?

She cleared her throat. "Y-yes mom. You we're saying?"

They were happily talking, Blake is looking lovingly at her. Napatingin siya sa babae.... She blink twice to make sure she is seeing everything clearly.

Iyon nga, tumawag ang Tita Mercy mo tungkol sa kasal.

The girl is her total opposite. Maliit ito, kumpara sa kanya na 5'10 at napakasimple ng pananamit nito. She is just wearing a skinny jeans a plain blue t-shirt and blue flat shoes.

"And? What did she say?" Pilit niyang itinutuon ang pansin sa kanyang mommy.
Ngayon alam na niya kung bakit ayaw ng binata sa mga kagaya niya. She is the exact opposite of the girl he loves.

Mahinhin ito, samantalang siya ay nakalimutan na ata ang salitang iyon.
Napakasimple nitong manamit samantalang siya, 'she always dress to impress'. Iyong tipong parang iniluwa siya mula sa isang fashion magazine.
Malayong-malayo ito sa kanya.
Halata mong conservative type ang babaeng iyon samantalang siya true blue liberated girl.

She suddenly felt bitter. Kaya pala ganon na lang kung makapanghusga si Blake sa kanya.

Hija! Narinig mo ba ang sinabi ko?

Doon siya natauhan at inalis ang tingin sa dalawa na nakapasok na ng cafe.

"I'm sorry mom. I spaced out." Paumanhin niya.

They said yes. Tuloy ang kasal niyo ni Blake hija! Masayang balita ng kanyang ina.

She smiled bitterly. "Are you sure mom? Is that really what they said?"

Oo hija, it's confirmed. Magsi-set na ng appointment sa wedding planner ang Tita Mercy mo...........

Hindi na niya namalayan ang sinasabi ng kanyang mommy dahil halos manigas na siya sa kinauupuan niya ng maupo sa gilid ng mesang inuukopa nila si Blake at ang girlfriend nito.

Their eyes met but Blake just give her a deadpan expression like he doesn't know her.
Napaawang ang labi niya sa tinuran nito.
"Look, mom. I'll ca you later." Hindi na niya hinintay na makasagot ang kanyang mommy at agad inend ang call.

"Ma'am? Are you okay?" Concerned na tanong ng kanyang assistant.

"A-ah yeah. Nasan na nga ba tayo?" Saad niyang nagbabawi ng tingin kay Blake. She look at her assistant.

"As I was saying, you have a Michael Cinco runway show, print ad for Victoria's Secret perfume, guest judge appearance for Asia's Next Top Model pati na rin sa America's Next Top Model. You also have a photoshoot for Vogue Magazine of London."
