Bullet Shot

SIMULA

"I love you, Amanda!"

I tugged my hair behind my ear as I wore my shades before I step out of the hall. I always have shades in my bags just in case I got mobbed again by people and media, at least I'm ready to protect my eyes from being blinded by cameras' flashes.

Saglit akong ngumiti sa fans at napa-irap. Naka shades naman ako, eh. They would not see. Sometimes I think of donating some of my beauty. You know, to help. Share your blessings sabi nga nila. Pero hindi naman nagagawa iyon unless magkaroon ako ng anak. Pero wala namang makakapantay ng akin, eh. I once again smiled fake on the cameras in front of me. Deep inside, I'm so pissed. Ayaw nilang patahimikin ang buhay ko.

"Miss Amanda, ano po masasabi niyo na may bago ng girlfriend ang ex niyong si Harison?" Nagtaas ang kilay ko sa tanong ng reporter na biglang lumitaw kung saan. This issue is so old. Why does she have to bring it back again?

Tinanggal ko ang shades ko at hinawi ang maganda kong buhok. Ngumiti din ako sa camera.

"I'm happy for him. I know he's a good guy naman. Sana mabigyan pa siyang madaming projects para naman hindi nakakahiya sa girlfriend niyang siya pa pinapakain. Thanks!" as much as I don't want to answer questions regarding my relationship status, I just chose to answer that one para matahimik na ang lahat.

Our break up really became controversial for a very known reason. I am popular so of course, everything that's connected to me become the most talked news.

I once again smiled fakely at the cameras before continuing. The media is really stressing me out! Pero mas lalo na si Harrison- ang dukha kong ex. He is the reason why our break up is being dig out again! If he hadn't had an interview about it, this would not happen. This is all his fault.

"Miss! Miss! Tignan niyo po may interview si Harrison." Natigil ako sa pagkain ng tsitsaron nang tumatakbong nagpunta si Chimay sa sala. Binuksan niya ang TV at nilipat kung sa'n man nagpainterview si Harrison.

"Mr. Harrison Cruz, kumakalat na po ngayon ang balita tungkol sa bago niyo po pong girlfriend na si Eunice, ngunit hindi pa rin malinaw ang tunay na dahilan ng hiwalayan niyo ng sikat na aktres na si Amanda. Maari na ninyong isiwalat ang dahlia?" Ugh. Ano naman kayang sasabihin nito? Panigurado pag mumukhain niyang kawawa sarili niya. Diyan siya magaling, eh. Magpaawa.

"Ahm.. Hindi lang namin na matagalan ang isa't isa. Syempre kung alam mong 'di na nagwowork, itigil na. At may mga bagay lang talaga na hindi mo na mapagtiyagaan" Sagot niya. My jaw dropped. Wow! Ang kapal ng mukha niya! Ako talaga pinagtatyagaan niya? Ako pa talaga!

"Katulad ng ano?" Sige reporter usisain mo pa. Good job. Nang malaman natin say ni dukha. Pirat na pirat na yung hawak kong tsitsaron. Tigas nito ah.

"Ugali niya" At tuluyan na ngang naging pulvoron ang hawak kong tsitsaron. Humanda ka sa'kin Harrison.

"Miss. Ba't niyo po sinabi 'yon? Hindi ba magalit si Ms. Eunice?" Napatigil ako sa paglalakad ng may humawak sa balikat ko na agad namang natanggal ng body guard ko. Eunice is her current girlfriend. Ba't naman ako matatakot do'n? Eh walang wala naman level no'n sa level ko. Hello?

Pumasok na ako sa loob ng van at nagpahinga. I didn't even love Harrison, I just liked him. He's handsome and... that's all. He was not nice, he's arrogant. I just brushed it off before because I thought maybe I just don't know him well. Throughout our relationship, I was the one to treat him on our dates; I take him to 5 star hotels and restaurants. I did not complain. I never ever once complained, and his is how he'll pay me?

I am not even making him pay for it. It was my decision to treat him since he doesn't initiate, but he could have at least respected me or our relationship. I did not talk about it on public because he has a booming career and if people find out what kind of a jerk he is he would totally lose the career he has been working for years. Tapos siya? He could easily talk shits about me. I hate him.
