Thank you for the idea of Toni, Vice and LeAga Panda_KV :)

"Celestine, Viceral!"

"Hala ka Celestine, ano na naman ginawa mo?!" Vice asked his best friend.

"Hoy Viceral, ha! Wala akong ginagawa ha, baka ikaw!" Toni pointed at Vice.

"Ano yun Lea?" Vice asked innocently.

"Anong nangyari Ate Lei?" Toni asked with a pout on her face.

Lea took a deep breath, "Hala anong nangyari sa lola mo?" Vice asked Toni, "Wag ka nga, mukhang importante naman ang sasabihin niya" Toni replied quietly.

"Aga is going to be my leading man, for my upcoming movie" Lea blurted out.

"ANO?! SI AGA MUHLACH?! YUNG GAGO MONG EX?!" Toni asked angrily.

"Tin, kalma lang!" Niyakap ni Vice si Toni.

"Oo siya, at tinanggap ko" Sabi ni Lea, at nagi-guilty pa siya.

"Alam mo naman na may girlfriend na siya di ba?" Vice told Lea.

Lea nodded, "Alam ko" she said quietly.

"Ate Lei, wag ko lang makita yang gago na yan. Kasi hindi ko alam kung anong magagawa ko sa kanya" Toni said in a threatening tone.

"Celestine, di ba sinabi ko sa'yo na kumalma ka lang. Maupo ka nga" Vice sat Toni down, "Ikaw naman Lea, wag ka mag develop ng mga feelings feelings na yan para sa kanya. Kung hindi--"

"Wasak na wasak ka na naman" Toni chimed in.

Inisip ni Lea ang sinabi ng mga kaibigan, alam niya kung bakit over protective sila. Lalo na si Toni. Nasaktan na siya dahil kay Aga. Sobra siyang nagmahal na wala na siyang natitira para sa kanyang sarili.

Nakita nila Toni at Vice ang hirap na pinagdaanan ni Lea nung nakipaghiwalay si Aga kay Lea.

Wasak na wasak si Lea sa sobrang sakit ng breakup nila ni Aga. Si Aga ang first love ni Lea.

Nung nakipag-break si Aga, nawala sa sarili niya si Lea. Naging depressed siya sa sobrang sakit na umabot sa pagkaka-ospital ni Lea.

"Viceral, nag-iisip ba siya?!" Galit na pagtanong ni Toni sa kaibigan.

"Matagal na yun, Tin. Siguro naman may mas utak na ngayon si Lea" Sabi ni Vice.

"Isang taon ang inabot para makalimutan niya yung lalaking yun, Vice. Isang taon" Punto ni Toni.

"Alam ko, isang taon siyang umiyak sa atin eh" Binanggit ni Vice.

As Lea was on her bed, she couldn't help but run the scenario over and over again. Of what happened during her movie meeting with Aga. And the interview. Just that whole time.

Lea was waiting for her director in the conference room, while she waited she was on her phone looking through her social media accounts and replying to her fans on Twitter.

After waiting for a few minutes, her director arrived, Direk Cathy, "Hi Lea! How are you? Matagal ka na bang nag hihintay?"

"Okay lang Direk, so do we start the meeting now or are we waiting for anyone else?" Lea aksed. She was antsy to go home and relax. This story conference was the last thing on her agenda.

"Wala pa ba si Aga?" Tanong ni Direk sa lahat.

"Si Aga?" Lea asked, her heart dropped as they mentioned his name.

"Yes si Aga, bakit?" Tanong ni Direk, mukhang hindi alam ni Direk na nagka-relasyon sila ni Lea. Direk Cathy looked around to everyone for an answer, "May problema ba Lea?" She asked.

"Wala naman po, we're just each other's exes" Lea smiled to the director.

"Okay, para pala 'tong nung dinirek ko sila Sam at Toni" Direk Cathy recalled.

"Toni says hello by the way, at kailan daw kayo gagawa ng movie. Sabi ko sa kanya na ako muna kasi its my first time working with you" Lea laughed which made the others laugh too.

"You think she'll be okay in doing a cameo in the movie?" Direk Cathy asked. Lea's eyes lit up, "That be a great idea, I'll ask her. I think she'll say yes. I'll guilt her into saying yes" Sabi ni Lea.

Habang nagkwe.kwentuhan ang lahat, dumating na si Aga.

"Sorry Direk, I'm late. I did a guesting on the other network kasi. What did I miss?" Aga asked as he sat down.

He looked around and saw her, "Lea, you're here. H-how are you?" Aga asked her. Nahihiya pa siya sa kanya.

"I'm good, yourself?" Lea smiled confidently.

Once again, Aga is intimidated by Lea. Just by her presence, "G-good, good." Aga smiled to her.

After the awkward small talk from Aga, they continued onto the story conference for the upcoming movie they're going to shoot in a couple of weeks.

The meeting adjourned and the press was all over it, they were waiting by the door in the Star Cinema office. Bombarding them with countless questions.

"Lea, how does it feel na you'll work with Aga again?"

Lea smiled, "It's going to be great, I hope! Its going to be fun, and eto yung unang movie namin after so many years and our director is one of the best!"

"Do you think you'll rekindle your past romance?"

"Doesn't he have a girlfriend? So I don't think that will happen" Lea answered with confidence.

"But I'm single, wala akong girlfriend" Aga told.

"Oh.. I didn't know that" Lea laughed and felt embarrassed, "I'm sorry I thought kasi na kayo pa rin"

"Hindi na. We broke up na" Aga explained.
