Lea's
5 minutes na lang malalate na ako! So binilisan ko na ang paglakad ko.
Sa pagmamadali ko hindi ko napansin may nabangga ako.
"I'm sorry. Nagmamadali kasi ako may meeting pa akong hinahabol. Malalate na kasi ako. I'm sorry." - Lea
"No, it's okay."
"I'm really sor--"
"Aga?"
"Lea?"
Sa lahat ba naman ng pwede kong makasalubong, si Aga pa?
*Tug tug tug tug tug
Peste naman puso!
"L-lea. H-hi. H-how are you?" - Aga
"H-ha? I-I'm okay. I-i have to go." - Lea
Argh! Bakit sa lahat ba naman ng pwede mong makasalubong si Aga pa?
Finally, I'm here at the office.
"Sorry, I'm late. Medyo natraffic kasi ako." - Lea
"It's okay, Lea. Have a sit." - Ma'am Charo
"Ano po ba yung good news?" - Lea
"You'll be having a movie under Star Cinema!" - Direk Olive
"Really? T-that's great. Who's my partner here?" - Lea
"Kakalabas lang ng partner mo. Don't worry let's wait for him. For sure, matutuwa ka. Hinintay niya itong panahon na ito!" - Direk Olive
Who could it be? Oh God, please wag si Aga. Please. Wag din naman si Ian dahil magagalit naman ang mga anak ko. So sino?
"Hi, nandyan na po ba yung partner ko?"
I know that voice. It's...
"Lea? D-direk, siya po ba yung sinasabi niyo na leading lady ko?" - Aga
"D-direk, si Aga po?" - Lea
"Yes, Aga and Lea. The fans are waiting for your third movie! They're waiting for 2 decades and now is the time for you guys to have a movie." - Direk Olive
"Direk Olive is right. Your movie will be a blockbuster again!" - Ma'am Charo
"This will be the story... *blah blah blah*"
Wala na akong naiintindihan sa sinasabi ni Direk. Ano na gagawin ko? Makikilala na ni Aj si Aga. Paano na ito? Aga gained weight though. But mas lalo siyang gumwapo. What? Lea? No. Hindi. Erase that.
"Lea? Lea? Are you okay?" - Direk Olive
"Y-yes direk. Just spacing out." - Lea
"Do you accept the offer?" - Direk Olive
"Direk, I-i'll think about it first. I have to ask my kids about this first. They don't know everything about this." - Lea
"Okay, Lea. Please accept this offer. The fans are waiting for this movie." - Ma'am Charo
"O-okay. I have to go." - Lea
Dali-dali naman akong umalis at sumakay sa kotse ko.
"Jose, punta tayo sa coffee shop ni Andrew. Ngayon na po. Pakibilisan na lang po." - Lea
I immediately dialed Andrew's number.
"Andrew! Go to your coffee shop. Now. We have to talk. This is important. No buts. I'm on my way there. Go!"
