Ivana's POV

Past

"Here at the Salon. Yeah, bye Amiee." pinatay ko na ang tawag ng kaibigan ko. I saw the Salon in front of me.

I crossed the road and went inside the Salon. I need to get my hair fixed!

"Good afternoon Miss Ivana!" ngiti sa akin ni Zoey, ang hair stylist ng salon. Ngumiti akong bahagya at umupo na. I wrote my name on the Log Book.

"What's the catch?" she asked me. Pumikit ako ng mata, "Nothing."

"Nag-break na kayo ni Jestin? Papagupit na ba?" humalakhak siya. I wanted to rip her tongue out but I stayed quiet. I won't deny it. Oo, nakipag-break ako. Ako mismo, nakakasakal kasi siya, and I'm tired of all of these responsibilities and commitment.

I missed being free!

"Yes. Wala na kami, and no, Mag papa-hair tone sana ako. I want my dark brown hair to have slightly shade of brown below it."

"Akala ko puputulin natin ang wavy mong hair." umiling ako. I looked into the mirror as I wear the cloth.

Habang inaayos ni Zoey ang buhok ko, kinuha ko ang isang Fashion Magazine doon.

My Father encouraged me to join  the Modeling Career. No, wala akong oras para diyan. But, I surely know I have a face and body of a model.

Masterpiece of God.

After many damn long hours, natapos na rin. I cleaned up and turned back. Ang buhok kong umaalon ay may kaunting shade ng brown sa dulo. Starting from my head down to my hair that reaches my back.

Dark to light. I love it.

Binayaran ko na si Zoey at lumabas na ng Salon. Iginala ko ang mga mata ko at umupo sa isang bench sa park.

Amiee:

Meet me at Wilder's.

Naka-recieve akong text galing kay Amiee. Napag-usapan namin na mag-party muna. This is our stress reliever.

I will use the time to dance and party! I want to forget Jestin!

Tonight, I'm going to drink until I get drunk!

"Yes. Harris, pick me up at the Ivory Park. Right now." I dialed our driver to pick me up.

Luminga-linga ako sa pagilid na baka sakaling andyan na ang kotse namin.

"Miss Ivana." dumating na ang black Audi R8. Tumayo ako at pinagbuksan ako ni Harris ng pintuan.

Harris is not only a driver. Pwede rin siyang mag-bodyguard pero I refused. Ayoko namang mag mukhang anak ng Presidente.

"Saan po tayo Miss?" tanong ng 29 year old na si Harris. "Home. Mag-aayos pa ako." I looked straight at the mirror.

Sinilip ko ang purse ko at kinuha ang iPhone 6+ ko. I took few selfies, focusing on my new hair color.

"Good afternoon Miss!" sabi ng katulong namin. I smiled weakly at her and made my way to my bedroom.

"Ivana?" narinig ko ang boses ni Mommy. Tumingin ako sa likod ko. Hawak hawak ko na ang door knob ng aking kwarto.

"Hmm?" I responded. She's wearing a shiny black dress. Ang brown niyang buhok at naka-bun.

Where's she going?

"Hindi ka sasama sa amin ng Papa mo?" tanong niya. Umiling ako. She didn't even noticed my hair.

"By the way, saan nga pala kayo pupunta?"
