Chapter Nineteen
After an hour, the director called me and motioned for me to go near the monitor. Lumapit ako doon at pinanood ang clip na kanina lang kinuhanan.
The vast last was seen behind me and the lighthouse stood very firm on my left. I was standing in the middle, smiling and laughing at the camera while I let my hair be blown by the wind. Ang puti kong dress ang umaalon sa lakas ng hangin.
"Great shot!" Puri sa akin ng cameraman. I smiled shyly at him.
Nilapitan ako ni Cynthia para bigyang ng bottled water. Ininuman ko iyon at ibinalik sa kanya.
"Retouch, Olivia?" Tanong nito at hinanap si Hannah.
"Okay. Thanks." Sambit ko. Sinenyasan niya si Hannah na lumapit sa amin at ayusan akong muli.
Maging si Rose ay nagpunta sa akin upang ayusin ang nagkagulo kong buhok dahil sa lakas ng hangin.
"Olivia, photoshoot for 15 minutes before we leave." Utos ng direktor.
Sumunod ako sa kanila upang makuhaan ng magagandang litrato. I didn't have any rule to follow. I just let myself sway with the breeze. I slow danced while my eyes engaged with nothing but the camera lenses.
Hinawakan ko ang skirt ko at binitiwan din iyon para sa ihip ng hangin. I let myself be carefree for the shots.
"Nice! Good job!" Kumento ng cameraman. I said my thanks at dumiretso na sa aming sasakyan.
Ang team ay inayos ang tent na kanina'y inilagay para sa kaunti naming gamit. Pagtapos noon ay nagtulak kami para sa Valugan Boulder Beach.
It was on the lower part of the island. The pristine waters welcomed me as I left the car wearing my Yellow dress.
The upper part of my dress was definitely made in chiffon. It was very soft. Pa-halter neck iyon. Ang ibabang parte ay naka-straight cut lamang.
I look even brighter than the sky with this dress.
Kinuhanan akong naglalakad sa gilid ng tubig. The waves crashed on my bare feet. It was goddamn cold and it felt really good.
Nagulat ako nang sa kalagitnaan ay bigla akong nilapitan ni Hannah. Kaunting clip at ilang litrato palang ang nakukuhanan.
"Palit ka ulit ng damit, Olivia. Gusto kang kuhanan sa gitna ng tubig." Paalam nito sa akin. Nagulat ako sa kanyang sinabi.
"Huh?" Paninigurado ko. She laughed at me.
"Tara na. Magpalit ka na." She dragged me all the way to our car.
Bohemian ang style na pinili ni Hannah para sa akin. Nanghinayang pa ako sa Yellow dress dahil masyado iyong maganda sa aking paningin. I was now wearing a white-lace cropped top, a pair of faded shorts, and a bohemian cardigan that stops on my knees.
Si Rose ay muling inayos ang buhok ko. She re-curled the tips and gave it much volume. Pinasuot niya rin sa akin ang flower crown na puno ng totoong bulaklak.
Hindi na kami nagsayang pa ng oras. Bumaba ako sa dagat. Si Cynthia ay todo ang pagbabantay sa akin lalo na nang pumunta ako sa tubig.
"Mag-ingat ka!" Sigaw nito.
I did not stray too far. Kahit marunong akong lumangoy ay ayoko pa ring may mangyaring masama.
The last time I had a shoot above the water, I fell down and bruised both of my knees. I didn't want that to happen ever again.
Pinatugtog na naman nila ang record ko. Sinabayan ko iyong muli.
Hindi ako nagtagal dahil high tide na pagdating ng 11:30. They just let me wander along the shore.
