"We are expecting so much from you Ash, too bad. My wife wouldnt be able to come, it is public information that she gave birth nung isang araw." Today is the big day wherein i-lalaunch na si Matthew as the new male endorser of Aimira's kaya ngayon kausap ko si Sir. Gerard 30 minutes just before the event starts.
"Yes sir. Narinig ko nga po and I also heard its a boy! Congrats sir. " I really felt happy for them. Pangatlong anak na nila iyon. Natawa pa nga ako sa sobrang genuine ng tuwa ko, eh parang last time sobrang bitter ko dahil sa miscarriage ko.
"Ms smitch, kailangan ka po nila sa backstage. " hindi pa nakakasagot si Sir Gerard ng biglang sumingit ang sekretaryo kong si John. I smiled apologetically at dinismiss nya naman ako agad.
"Why? I thought everything is settled na?" Takang tanong ko.
"Gusto daw po kayo makausap ni Sir matthew bago magsimula ang event. " sagot nya kaya napatigil ako sa paglalakad. Matthew did his very best to ignore me this past few weeks, he is mostly in contact sa talents team lang.
Kumatok ako sa pinto ng dressing room ni matthew at pumasok. He is just sitting there obviously is expecting me kasi nakatingin lang sya sa repleksyon ko sa salamin.
"What makes you change your mind and now wanted to talk to me?" I said wanting to sound cool pero hindi nawala ang kaba sa boses ko.
He smirked at me, he fucking smirked. Napataas ang kilay ko sa kanya.
"I know you missed me ash!" He said seriously and then I know na okay na kami, i closed our distance and hugs him. Kumawala ang ilang luha.
"You fucking messed my makeup" rant ko pero natawa lang sya bago nagseryoso ulit.
"Im sorry ash, i just freaking snapped and forgot everything you've been..." He seems lost of words kaya tumango nalang ako understanding where he is coming from. Nandon sya nung mga panahong halos mamatay na ako pero hato ako almost giving another chance to Allen. But then I remember something at hindi ko napigilan ang pagangat ng kamay ko at malakas na pagsampal kay matt.
"Thats for not telling me about Pamela and telling her all my secrets. " gigil kong sabi, sasagot sana sya ng biglang may kumatok sa kwarto at sumiwang ang ulo nung isang floor director signaling us that the event would start in 5 minutes kay kailangan na namin lumabas.
But before we can even leave the room di nakatakas sa akin pandinig ang seryosong sabi ni Matt na maguusap kami mamaya.
The event turns out well, masayang masaya ang board ant mukhang effective naman lahat kaya nakhinga ako ng maluwag.
Umikot ang mata ko sa buong venue at natigil ito kay Allen who is talking animatedly sa isang member ng board, after the incident in the coffee shop he followed me sa bahay and say sorry and he pleads na bigyan ko pa sya ng time, and knowing na hindi titigil ang huli pinagbigyan ko na.
"Youre looking like a lovestruck bitch bestfriend" naramdaman ko nalang ang presence ni Matt sa tabi ko na sa wakas ay pinakawalan na ng press
"I am not. " tanggi ko bago napairap.
"Mind if I invite you for dinner? Would really wanted to talk to you about pamela. " segue ko. Napatingin sa akin si Matt na parang kinakabahan sya kaya hinahanda ko na ang sarili ko sa mga pwedeng masabi nya.
"My pleasure beb" he then leadsthe way.
Our dinner turns to a car pizza party, sakto nasa tagaytay na din kami we park my car sa may starbucks na overlook sana sa taal if ever maliwanag pa pero just looking at the vast darkness medyo peaceful padin ang feeling. And to be fair sa starbucks we ordered frappucinos.
