Wage Dela Rivas
"Miss Mendoza? Are you still with us?" Nagulat ako nang nakita kong lahat sila ay nakatingin sa akin. Shit. Nagmemeeting nga pala kami. I smiled at them and nodded.
Nagpatuloy at natapos na ang meeting for our movie pero lutang parin ako. Am I out of my mind? Umiling-iling ako. Baka mawala yung pagkalutang ko.
Argh.
"Hey sissy? What's wrong?"
"Wala." I walked faster para hindi na niya ako maistorbo. Gosh. Hindi ko matanggal sa isip ko yung nangyari kaninang umaga. That... That Wage. There's something about him that I want to know. Damn. What kind of feeling is this?
"Hey! Tumingin ka nga sa dinadaanan mo!" Sabi ng maarteng boses na nakabanggaan ko.
I looked directly at her wearing my most poker face. And oh, I'm really not surprised kung kanino yung maarteng boses na iyon when it comes to this pathetic bitch.
"Oh! I'm sorry then." Marunong naman akong makipagplastikan pagdating sa mga plastic na tao.
Umirap siya sa akin na para bang walang kwenta yung sinabi ko. I looked at her from head to toe, and uhm- I see no difference between them. Just kidding.
Lumakad na ako paalis para bumalik na sa room ko. Then I wondered, paano ba nakapasok yung babaeng iyon sa movie? Is she some sort of an extra? A model? Or a bitch that direct saw when he's in a club? Well, it's not my business. Bahala na sila kung sino yung gusto nila. I'm just an actress.
When I entered my room I saw an envelope on my front door. Mukhang may laman pa na gamit na maliit dahil nakaumbok ito sa envelope. Kinuha ko iyon para buksan sa lamesa. I stared at it for a bit and turned the envelope to see the other side and it was from... Wage?
It says there that I should see him infront of the lobby and wear this necklace that came also with the note. Pupunta ba ako? I feel like my heart will explode any minute now. Kinakabahan ba ako? We're not dating right? So why am I feeling this kind of feelings?
Oh mygod! Did I already fall for him? That fast?! No. Kinakabahan lang ako kasi baka may masama siyang gawin sa akin. Malay mo rapin niya ako! O kaya gupitin niya yung buhok ko! Oh no. Baka bakla siya tapos inggit siya sa hair ko.
Napatalon ako nang bahagya ng biglang nagring yung phone ko. It's an unregistered number. Still, I picked it up. Baka sila Marcel na yan at nakitawag lang sa isa sa mga staff.
"Hello?" A husky voice came from the other line said.
"Uhm- Hello?" sabi ko pabalik. It's strange you know. I'm talking with a stranger here.
"Hey, goodness! Buti sinagot mo. I thought you'll not gonna pick it up." What?
"Who's this?" tanong ko. Ofcourse, Alangan namang makipagclose ako agad sa hindi ko kilala. Duh. *roll eyes super super heaven wards*
"This is Wage. I'm gonna wait here at the lobby, Miss Isabel Isabel Mendoza." He chuckled when he said my name. Here we go again. He keeps on calling me 'Isabel Isabel Mendoza' and it's irritating.
