The Unexpected One

Kabanata 4

His POV

"If I only have a choice I won't go back to the philippines kim." pailiwanag ko sa Manager ko.

Masakit mang isispin pero I tried to build my career there before but it did not work out. I felt rejected I know I'm a good actor pero bakit hindi nagustohan ng mga pilipino fans. At ngayong gumaganda na ang career ko dito sa Korea ngayon lang nila ako na aappreciate? Pero dahil kalahati sa fans ko ay pilipino and kailangan ko ring mag promote I will do it.

"You need it, Min yuk. There's a lot of filipino fans who are dying to see you. I know about your career there before, but you should be proud on what you have become right now!... You are the Famous Park Min Yuk and everyone dreams to be just like you and going back to the Philippines will help you boost your career even more... Remeber that." pilit niyang pinapaintidi sakin ang lahat

She has a point I need this. And I have to do this.

"And I heard that philippines is a beautiful country, the people there are very hospitable. Don't you miss it?" nakangising sabi niya. she's really testing me.

I know. Pinanganak akong pilipino and I love being pinoy. My filipino name is Kenzo Alvarez my mom is korean while my Dad is filipino sa pilipinas ako pinanganak at don na rin lumaki. I was 18 when I started to join showbiz in phil. I started as commercial model hanggang sa maging artista ako but it did not work out for me. 

At the age of 20 naisipan ko nalang sumunod sa magulang ko sa korea kasi don sila madalas mag stay dahil sa business. Meron kaming bahay sa Quezon don ako lumaki at meron din sa korea. Dito ko na pinag patuloy ang pag aaral ko. And when I turned  21, I started auditioning as a model, actor and singer sa isip ko non ay maging sikat na actor/singer since it is really my Passion. Nasa 5'9 ang height ko, maputi, matangos ang ilong medyo singkit ang mga mata na nakuha sa mom ko. I want to try my luck here in korea since it did not work out in philippines.

Luckily I am known now as Park Min Yuk. One of the famous singer/actor here in korea and hindi ko namalayan sikat narin pala ako sa ibat-ibang bansa at isa nga don ang Pilipinas... Pinag uusapan namin ngayon ni Manager Kim ang pag bisita ko sa pilipinas to promote my new album and movie.

"okay so when will be our flight manager?" tanong ko, the feeling of missing my home town got me.

"next week I already booked a ticket, and I am about to book you a hotel room now." sagot niya

"No need for that manager. We have a house in Manila and I want to stay there." paliwanag ko

"Okay then. It's your choice. You rest now coz you have a shoot tomorrow. I will go now Good night." paalam nya

"bye. Good night"

I decided to call my mom to let her know about my trip to Philippines.

"Hello mom? How are you?" kausap ko siya sa kabilang linya

"Hello son. I'm fine but I missed you. What is it?" tanong niya

"I'm going home to the philippines and I'm going to stay in our house" paliwanag ko

"oh, really son? Okay I will call your nanang Carmen to prepare. And please take care while you're there. I miss you son, can you visit me before flying to the phil. Please?" pakiusap niya

"sure mom. I'll visit you, I miss you too. Just say hi to dad for me. I have to end this call now, Good night mom" paalam ko

I'm in my condo and it's quite far from our home here in korea. I decided to separate from my parents when I started showbiz.

I'm on my way now to our house to visit my Parents before I leave.

Papasok palng ako ng gate nakita ko na si Mommy na nakaabang sa may pintuan.

"Son! Oh, I miss you so much!" sinalubong agad ako ng yakap ni mommy pagka baba ko ng sasakyan

"I miss you to mom, where's dad?" niyakap ko siya at nagtanong.

"He's inside. Let's go, He's been waiting for you." at pumasok na nga kami sa loob ng bahay. I kinda miss home though, I've been staying at my condo coz it's near from my agency. Which is the Star House.

"Hey son, kamusta?" yakap sakin ni papa habang nagtatanong. pag kaming dalawa ang nag uusap ay nagtatagalog siya at ako rin. Ang sabi nya kasi ay baka makalimutan nya ang wikang kinaggisnan at ayaw nyang mangyari yon ganon din sakin.

"ayos lang pa, medyo busy lang sa shoots and recording. Anyway, nasabi naba sayo ni mom na uuwi akong pilipinas? I have to promote my album there and guesting narin siguro" sagot ko ng nag uusap kami habang kumakain

"Yes son. Your mom already told me. Pinaayos ko na ang bahay your nanang Carmen is excited to see you na. and Try to visit your lola  miss na miss kana non." paalala niya

Nanang Carmen I miss her too. She's my nanny since I was child sa kanya ako madalas iwan ng magulang ko tuwing pumupunta sila ng korea. She's like a second mother to me. at si Lola.

Pagkatapos ng halos apat na Oras na pag-uusap at pagpapaalala sakin ay Nagpaalam narin ako.

"mom, dad I have to go now my manager is waiting for me at the office. And we're leaving for philippines tomorrow morning. Take care mom, dad I'm gonna miss you" paalam ko sa magulang ko

"Okay son. You take care and please be good... I hate seeing you in tv with some issues regarding your attitude and you dating with different girls every month." Umiiling niyang sabi "Don't you think it's time for you to settle down? I hope you'll see your match in the philippines just like how I found mine in there." nakangiting sabi ni mommy sabay hilig sa balikat ni dad

"I agree with your mom son." sabay tapik sa balikat ko

"mom! Dad!  I have to go now." paalam ko at nag mamadaling pumasok sa sasakyan para maiwasan ang ganong usapan.

Ayokong pinag uusapan nila at pinagsasabihan ako tungkol sa pag didate ko. I mean what's wrong with dating? As long as the feeling is mutual, I will date every girl I like. I don't have time for a serious relationship yet. I want to focus on my career.
