Kiss
Everything went smooth, we had our lunch at a near restaurant. Magkakasabay kami sa isang table ng pamilya ni Bryan, nahihiya man pero ramdam ko ang magaang turing nila sa akin lalo na si Mrs. Ledesma. Pakiramdam ko ay buong lunch akong nakangiti, especially when Bryan treat me with so much care. Kulang na lang ay subuan ako nito. Her mom almost praise him for being a gentleman at natatawa na lamang ako sa pagaasikaso nito sa akin. Ultimo sa aking paginom ay talagang inaassist pa ako nito. Kahit nahihiya dahil sa tingin ko ang lahat ng emplyedo nila ngayon ay sa amin din nakatingin like watching us from a far with so much curiousity in their eyes, ngunit pinagwalang bahala ko na lamang ito. Thinking about their reactions towards us is nothing to do with me at all, I'll just have to live my life, no pretensions and just be happy for all the blessings that coming through my life and as long as wala akong tinatapakang ibang tao then for me everything is just fine. Besides these are Bryan's action not mine.
Commercial shoot is fast approaching, when everything is settled ay napagplanuhan na ang date to start the shoot. The first scene ay maglalakad ako papasok sa lobby ng hotel at may staff na sasalubong sa akin, I just have to show my sweetest smile to them and of course I need to walk fashionably while entering their lobby.
Kabado ako ngayon habang nakaupo sa waiting chair ko, right now Bryan's production crew is finishing with the needed things in the set like camera, lighting and everything para sa magaganap na shoot namin ngayon. Ang kaba ko ay hindi ata humuhupa, while looking at Bryan mas lalo ata akong pinagpapawisan dito. His presence in this shoot makes me more intimidated. Kasama ko ngayon ang aking make up artist and stylist, I'm wearing an embroidered halter neck maxi dress pair with my 6 inches stiletto and my make up for today was lighter because the shoot will be day time. Just a foundation and blush on to makes my face glow and let my wavy long hair flow at my back for my hair style. They added a buri palm fedora hat because the concept of our shoot today is a vacationist who choose the best hotel to stay.
All was set, pero sobrang kaba pa din ako. Paano kung magkamali ako? I don't know why I'm being so negavative, way back ay hindi naman ganito ang kaba ko. I inhale and exhale just to relax myself, pero mas lalo ata akong hindi mapakali when I saw Bryan approaching near me.
"Are you ready?" tanong nito ng makalapit, his eyes bore into me like checking the details of my looks.
"Yeah." Matipid kong sagot dito habang hindi makatingin ng diretso sa mga mata nito at inaayos ang suot na fedora hat.
"Are you sure your comfortable?" tanong nitong nahihimigan ko ng pag-aalala sa kaniyang boses.
Mabilis akong ngumiti sa harap nito showing him that I'm really fine, sa tingin ko nga mas magiging madali ito if wala siya dito kasi I'm not comfortable doing this shoot while his looking but damn I can't afford to tell him how I'm uncomfortable with his presence in this shoot right now. I should not act this way or else baka pumalpak ako sa unang shoot namin. "I'm really fine Bryan. No need to worry." Sagot ko na lamang habang ngiting ngiti pa din dito. Yeah I should act normal in front of him though.
Nagulat na lamang ako when he held my both hand, kita ko ang pagsilay ng ngiti sa kaniyang labi, I feel warm inside pakiramdam ko by his touch his saying that everything will be fine.
"You look so beautiful, actually I'm having a second thought of why I get you for this job." Seryoso nitong salita sa akin ngayon. Nangunot ang aking noo at hindi ko mawari kung ano ang ibig sabihin nito.
He smiled even more at hinigpitan pa lalo ang hawak sa aking mga kamay "I don't want you to be exposed, you may call me selfish but seeing you like this makes me breath so hard because for sure mas marami na ang magiging kakompetensiya ko saiyo. Although I supported you, if you're happy doing this then I'll make sure to be happy along with you."
