In one lovely day, a studio was formed for the last shooting day of the ongoing TV series entitled "Mi Amore" starring the former youngest multi-awarded teenage actress named Maine Mendoza and her leading man, Kevin Dela Mesa, the offspring of a royalty couple from 70s.
A man in his thirties approached her and figured what's getting her so slow.
"Tagal naman ng alaga mo, magagalit si direk nyan," Renée told her manager Madam Caridad.
"Renz need lang naming takpan yung sugat nya, nakalmot sya diba remember?"
"Oo pero alam mo naman si direk walang excuses. Pagsabihan mo yan na ingatan ang mukha nakakaloka!"
"Okay sige sige."
Caridad turned to Maine and rushed her makeup artist to double time its job.
"Nakakaloka to si madam, bakit ba kasi may sugat ka beh??" Alroy aka Alicia, her makeup artist asked.
"May fan kasi si Dina na halos bugbugin ako, hay ewan ko ba kaimbyerna. Di naman maganda idol nila noh."
"Iwasan mo kasi ang gulo, wag magmaldita."
"Wala namang rating tong show na to makademand naman si direk eh," Maine said.
"Huy beh quiet ako dyan," as Alice combs her hair.
"Hahaha afraid ka kay direk?" she checked.
"Ready na ba, Al?" Madam Caridad asked.
"Opo madam, si Maine mukhang wala pa sa ispiritu."
The last scene was on shoot late, so the director was slightly not on mood for multi-takes.
"T*ngina naman, ano ba yan? Hindi tayo matatapos nyan gusto ko nang magpahinga!"
"Pasensya na po direk, nagshoot po kasi sya ng commercial kagabi wala pang tulog," Caridad was untiringly defending her talent.
"Hindi lang sya ang pagod, put***na nyo. Umayos na kayo."
"Teka naman, hindi naman po starlet tong alaga ko, wag nyo namang sigawan."
"Caring pare pareho tayong pagod dito, buti nga lines lang nya ang ieemote nya kami yung ideas pa bubuuin namin, kaya ka nalalaos Maine eh, masyadong primadona."
The scenario got intense so Maine did her best to finish it.
But even the director congratulated them, Maine walked out and went home. She didn't want to pretend like nothing happened earlier.
"Meng, saan ka pupunta?!"
"Mami, ayoko po munang harapin si direk para syang ewan. Topak pa more!"
"Oy bata ka saan ka, bat iiwanan mo ako?"
"Uuwi na po ako madam, congratulations nalang po sa inyo for the successful series."
She quickly closed the van and her manager can't do anything but let her go.
"Alam mo maam maine, tama lang yan, kasi karapatan mo naman po na isipin ang kapakanan mo kaysa iba," her personal driver adviced.
"Oo nga po eh, pero maldita pa rin ang tingin nila sakin. Naiinis na kasi ako sa iba na halos ibully ako sa mga articles nila."
The man didn't say anything but drove to her home.
In her room, she used her fake account to stalk the other guy she has been liking for the longest time.
Jerry Francisco was the UAAP star turned celebrity after being awarded as the MVP of the year.
"So tinitingnan mo na naman yan, bakit?" her mom curiously queried.
