Lilo, my manager, is busy instructing and cross-checking all the camera angles and even the lighting as two team, from Celebrity Hub and JHO News, prepares for an exclusive interview with me today.My team and I decided we'll address the controversy, more so to stop the public from dragging someone's name in to this mess, by having an interview at my flat. Lalong gumulo magdamag ang isyu nang idelete ni Colette and kaniyang post at nag lagay ng black picture as her profile sakaniyang Facebook account.
I am trying my best not to care about her kadramahan but I've had enough. At kay Yago na mismo nanggaling na wala silang relationship, kaya huwag na huwag niya akong madramahan ng ganiyan.
While Nathalia's doing some retouch of face powder on me, sina Reese and Lyre naman ang nag aayos sa buhok ko at damit. The man named Waldo, if I am not mistaken he'll be in charge of the overall interview, is now calling for a minute before we start the rolling of the camera.
"Milana, ready?" He asked first before signalling his men to start, "We'll start the interview in 3..2..1.."
"Hi, Cebs! This is your most voted jolly host, Holly. And you're watching Celebrity Hub." Then, she turned to me with that grin of hers, "This week has been epic! So, for the Celebrity Hub's ending week Pasabog Scoop, we have here our hottest and has been a current trending topic world-wide, the one and only, Miss Milana Valeria!"
Fortunately, all went well as planned. I have managed to answer all the questions that are thrown at me. Kaya naman nang magkaroon ng break ay inalalayan kaagad ako ni Lyre sa may balcony banda.
Lilo is giving me a pleased look habang panaka-naka ang tingin sa mga tao. I hope they wouldn't get too suspicious as to why I have taken all the picture frames here in our flat. Hindi kasi namin masyadong napaghandaan na kailangan pala namin ng pictures naming magkasama ni Yago na nakalagay manlang sa picture frame.
Well, speaking of him, ang huling pagkakaalam ko sakaniya ay busy ito sa opisina dahil nagkaroon ng late arrival ang isa sa kanilang aircraft na byahe mula sa Espansya, kaya nagresulta sa bahagyang delay sa iilang flight. Though he texted me first thing in the morning, ay hindi ko naman binubuksan ito dahil nga siguro sa sobrang pagod ay na-late naman ako ng gising. I overslept.
"Hindi ba pupunta si Sir Yago dito para manlang dalawin ka ngayon, Ma'am Milana?" Pangaasar ng isa sa mga staff na kasama ni Waldo.
I was about to answer him when Nathalia's loud voice echoed in the room, she's at it again.
Nathalia and her unholy mouth.
"Kuya Yago called, Milana! He said he'll be here anytime soon," Nangiinis na saad ni Nathalia habang halatang pinipigilan ng todo ang sariling hindi tumawa sa katangahang ginawa.
As if he would! "Hehehehe... really? I thought he's busy today."
The whole crew teased me more when I seemed to have eaten my tongue dahil hindi agad ako naka-imik. Akala nila natutuwa pa ako. If only they know the real score between us.
Nakalipas ang ilan pang minuto at tinuloy na namin ang interview para naman sa JHO News. Napadali naman ang gagawin ko dahil puro pala storytelling ang gagawin ko. And so, I told them what they wanted to hear. I told them our fabricated lies of our lovestory, when I was in the mid of explaining them how Yago and I have decided to keep it from the public and all ay tila nagkagulo ang staff nang mayroong pumaosk sa silid.
Iminuwestra naman ni Waldo ang kaniyang kamay at tila nag pasabi na huwag masyadong maingay dahil nga'y nasa kalagitnaan ng recording.
Although I already have a hunch, I still didn't get my hopes up.
