1 YEAR LATER…

Jamilla Marchella Joon’s POV

“Ms. Jamilla, please get ready for the next shoot.” I just nodded.

“Ms. Jamilla, Emerald clothing line is inviting you to join their summer collection” It’s Zoila, my secretary.

“When?”

“Next week, Ms. Jamilla”

“Oh. You know that my schedule is full next week, right?”

“YesMiss. Sorry”

“Ok. That’s enough” tumayo na ako para masimulan na ang photo shoot. Pinigilan ko narin ang make-up artist ko. I don’t like too much make-up.

“Everyone, Get ready!” sigaw ng photographer sa mga staff nang pumunta ako sa platform. I will be the cover of the famous teen magazine here in US. It’s an issue for summer. Anyway, this is not the first time. I used to be their cover last Christmas issue and with the hottest teen celebrity last February.

“Ok, please hold the beach ball, Jamilla. Last 5 shots” Sigaw ni Mr. Greene. He’s the official photographer for this month’s issue.

“Ok that’s all. Thank you Ms. Jamilla”

“Thank---“

“SWEETHEART” My heart suddenly jumped when I hear his voice. Here we go again.

“Hey!” he walked towards me and gave me a peck on my cheek. I’ve heard gasps and some murmurs na galing sa mga staff. Agaw eksena naman kasi ang lalaking ‘to. Nakita ko rin ang malisyosong ngiti ng iba. Alam kong hindi nila kayang magtanong ng kung ano sa’kin. Why? I don’t know pero may naririnig akong bulungan na nakakatakot daw ako? They said that my eyes are cold na sa tingin ko naman ay hindi. Aigoo! Bahala sila. I don’t have any business with their lives.

“I missed you”

“Agosto!!! Agaw eksena ka na naman!”

“Yuck! Can you please stop calling me ‘Agosto’? AUGUST please!”

“Whatever! Anyway, I missed you!!!” I hugged him. At sa ginawa kong ‘yon ay lalo akong nakarinig ng mga singhap. Sa bagay, sa ilang beses na pagpo-photo shoot ko dito ay ngayon lang nakadalaw si August. At idagdag mo pa ang pangalan nya. Kilala ang pamilya nila sa Europe, America, at Asia. Isang bigating business tycoon lang naman ang tatay nya.

“Let’s go to your house. Tita Maricel called me. doon na raw ako mag-dinner since kakabalik ko lang galing France. Baka masyado mo raw akong na-miss” *wink*

“Kapal ha? Kapal!” hinila ko sya papunta sa mga gamit ko. I need to find my phone. Kanina ko pa hindi nakikita ‘yon. baka tumatawag si mommy.
