Chapter 5

BIANCA

Nang dahil sa tuloy-tuloy na pag vibrate ng phone ko, I wake up and notice i'm in an unfamiliar room. No, actually, i'm quite familiar with it. I've woken up in this very same room yesterday morning. Wala lang akong oras para mapansin ang kabuohan ng kwarto, lalo na't may kasama kang dalawang lalaki sa kama!

Tinatamad pa akong bumangon sa kama dahil late na kami nakauwi kaninang umaga. Julia went home to my house and I went to hers. Nagulat nga ako dahil namimiss ko rin mga magulang ko kahit papano.

Kinuha ko ang phone ko (Julia's phone) to check my Facebook's newsfeed. I rarely post anything, I just enjoy looking at everyone's activity for the day. I find it addicting.

An article caught my eye! In it is also a video that has me and Julia doing the jolt last morning at starbucks.

Susmaryosep! Nakakahiya!

I replayed the video again and again. To my relief, our faces were blurry nang dahil sa mababang quality ng camera. Hindi naman masyadong nakilala ang mukha ko, tsaka it's not like kilala akong tao. I'm more worried about Julia. Her face was blurry pero obvious pa rin na siya iyon dahil sa built ng katawan niya.

After replaying the video, I texted Julia to know how she's doing. That made me remember, she has a date with Marcus all alone today.

I feel guilty to Julia tuloy dahil siya sumasalo ng problema ko with my parents and Marcus, pero at the same time relieved na hindi ko na-experience yung awkward first meeting with my fiance and his parents. But I think all this bizarre events happening to us can do good to her, para naman hindi siya masyado mag focus sa recent break up niya.

I apologized to her sa text and asked her how she's doing because of the viral video on Facebook. Based on her reply, she seems to be fine with it. If i'm going to think about it, mukhang okay nga talaga siya dahil siya ang nasa katawan ko ngayon.

If I should be worried of something, it should be me. She even advised me not to answer any calls or texts and just to stay home.

Konting saglit na lang naman and later at night, we'll be back to normal lives again.

Hiniram ko muna yung nakakalat na laptop ni Julia sa table at binuksan yung email ko. Puno ito ng mga unread emails from our clients at work and from my boss, but what caught my eyes were two emails. First, an acceptance letter of my resignation. I'm sure it's my dad, I can't believe he submitted my resignation without my permission and two, a letter from Daniel, the producer, saying that he rejected my work.

He rejected my screenplay? Is it really that bad? I improved everything that he criticized, I made sure all grammars and spellings are correct down to the very last page and in the end he's just gonna reject it? Bakit hindi na lang niya ni-reject in the first place. He's so frustrating!

Pero ayoko naman maging mapag-mataas dahil lang sumikat yung ginawa kong screenplay dati. Maybe it's God's way of saying it's not yet time. Hay, tama. Yun nga siguro ang posibleng dahilan. It's not yet time.

May sumagi nanaman na masama sa utak ko.

Kasi after the movie was successful, Daniel flirted and dropped hints that he liked me for a while. For a while lang, kasi I already flat out kinda rejected him. He was always awkward around me since then and maybe that's the reason why he rejected my work. Pero grabe naman, work is work. Sana naging professional na lang siya. Hindi siguro matanggap ng ego niyang ni-reject ko siya.

I just hope he rejected my work for that reason. Because it would mean my work is great, he's just really the problem.

Okay, way to boost my ego after being rejected.
