Eliz pov

Hi I'm eliza hope Gonzales
Popularly known as eliz
I'm 18, a filipino American, an actress here in the philippines. I also have a love team, ken.

I love acting. This is my passion. But being a celebrity is not what I dream of. Ofcourse i love my fans but, the obligation of being famous is hard.

I've got to be kind , patient and gracefull all the time. I don't even have time for my private life anymore.

Everyone is waiting for you to commit a mistake. Everybody expects you to be perfect.
You have to do this , don't do that.. everything has a schedule. Some times i think that I'm a prissoner.

They even decides who are going to be your friends and who I should love, well an act atleast.

Which is the one i really hate.

I don't want to pretend to like a person in a way that i don't.

"Hey eliz, after the shoot, do you have anything to do ?" Ken woke me up on my self talk

"Ill just rest. Im so tired" me

We are now here in batanes for a photoshoot. Its so good here and i heard about an almost remote town near the shoreline. i will go there after the shoot. I dont want ken to accompany me. i know that he will just take a bunch of selfies and pretend that we are loveydovey and post it in social media.

After the shoot i told my manager that ill take a walk and i want privacy. I decided to pass by a convinient store to grab something to eat and drink for my plan. After i purchase, i saw a guy looking seriusly on his laptop, when I'm about to leave, i saw a tear came running down his cheek.
I decided to lend him my hanky. As i come closer, i think that he is pretty good looking though i can't see his face completely.

"Hndi maganda tignan sa lalake ang umiiyak"I told him.

He says thanks and grab my hanky but before he raised his head to see me, i quickly get out of the store.

Then i just realized...

'that hanky is my favorite one and my mom is the one who embroidered that!'

I felt sad because that has a sentimental value but i have a feeling that it will be back to me someday, i don't even know why.

So i continue my plan...

I go straight to the town using public transportation. People here are so kind in giving me instructions to get there.



After few minutes i arrived at the town.
Wooah! Its nice here. Its picture perfect. All the houses are made from stones and their roofs are like in nipa huts.

Suddenly, a girl smiled at me.

"Hi ate ! "she greeted

"Hellow ! What's your name?"

"My name is anna, your beatiful, are you a visitor ?"

"Yes, I'm ate el... hope." I almost say my screen name but decided not to.

"Ate are you a model?"

"Wwhat?" I ask nervously

"Haha you look like a model cause kuya seph says that models are beautiful ladies"

"Ah... haha"

"Ate lets go, ill introduce you to my family"

Then she drag me to their house

"Mama, papa , ate !!"

"Hey anna, who are you with"

"Ma, this is ate hope, ate, this is my mama my papa and my ate"

"So your kuya is not here"?

"she don't have a kuya." her father spoke

"but she said..."

"That person is also a visitor here, and that house *pointing on a big house* is where that person stays"
Her mom said

"Ahh..." then i saw a little island in the middle of the sea.

"Do you want to go there ? I can show you around"
Anna's father asked

"yes please!."

We rode a boat going there. We arrived at the island at almost sunset.

"Wow !. Its beautiful here!"



"Wait for the sunset" manong suggested

I watched the sun as it kissed the ocean ... its so serene and its magical

It became more beautiful when i hear the sound of guitar that beautifully accompany the sun's journey towards the sea.

Wait ! A guitar ?!!! Where that come from??!!!

"Maybe its seph" manong says like he read my mind.

'Seph' its the second time i heared his name.
Is he that close to the villagers ?

"Do you want to know seph?"

I nodded

When we are approaching were he is.. suddenly, i heared a beaping sound.

Oh crap that's my cell and its lobat. And there is no signal. Maybe manager is looking for me. I grab manong's arm point my finger on the sky.

"Its getting dark, i should go back now. Ill just be back someother time" I said

He nodded and accompany me to the trycicle terminal for me to get to the city.

I bid them goodbye and promise to come back.

~Ambers pov~

Hope...

Its just a hanky but i feel special because of this.
Who are you hope?

I went straight to the island without saying hi to anna's family. I want to keep on writing since i have a lot of thoughts going on my mind because of that post.

"are you really happy now?"

I got my guitar with me. I started writing all my emotions out. Remembering my struggles

'oh fear not cuz i no I'm in His hands' I wrote

When i finally encounter the sunset... i started strumming my guitar with the tune of 'Beautiful' from my first album. This became my habit now. I sing this song whenever its sunset to ease my pain.

I started to hum when I heared a voice of a girl...

When i look at the direction, i saw manong with a girl.

Wait! I think i know this girl! Its the same dress as the lady a while a ago. Maybe i can return the hanky to her!

I saw them walking nearer. But suddenly they stopped and went to the boat and leave the island.

I want to run after her. I want to know her name. I want to see her face.

'I HOPE i can get to know you.'

But when i go back to my work and read again the lyrics. Suddenly the pain came back to me. I remember how my world turn upside down. . .
