Because You Exist

Chapter 7: Jessamine Vergara

Jessamine's POV

Camera clicks. Makeups. Dress ups. Red carpet. Photoshoots here,movieshoots there. Pose here pose there. Smile here, smile there. Interview here, interview there. That's my life..

I grew up crying ,smiling or portraying any roles of emotions in front of the camera and poses for product advertising or modeling. In short, i am a celebrity.

I've been known as one of the most famous celebrity today. Kahit sinong tao napapamangha pag nakarinig nang JESSAMINE VERGARA . I'm proud to say that lots of people admire me and also lots of insecure haters hate me. Yung konting mali mo lang maiissue kana agad. Akala mo kung gano ba kalaki ang epekto nito sa Pilipinas!  Sanay nako, syempre mahirap talaga ang buhay celebrity. May mga taong magmamahal sayo at may mga taong magagalit o maiinis sayo kahit wala ka namang ginagawa sa kanila.

Minsan nakakapagod din ang celeb life ko. I can't roam freely around malls or any public places because people keeps on blocking my way for picture taking, hugging, kissing and such. Kaya, wala na akong freedom para lumabas labas pa kasi hindi din naman ako mag-eenjoy. But i really like this life despite of it's lack of  freedom.

Most of my free time, i spend it with my soon to be fiancè which is Christ Eadaion Javier. We're childhood friends including Drake Dela Cruz. Bale tatlo kaming close dati. His parents and mine were partners on business. Nung highschool kami, they decided that i and Christ will be married FOR BUSINESS'S SAKE. Kahit medyo stupid ang ganyang klaseng idea na arranged marriage i agreed because I like Christ so much.

Alam na ni Christ na gustong-gusto ko sya pero opposite ata yung nararamdaman nya para sakin. Yes he loves me but as a sister. Pathetic isn't it? Hindi sya interesado sa mga bagay tulad ng LOVE na yan. Pero wala na syang magagawa kasi under sya sa parents nya. Kaya iniiwasan nya na magkaron nang kasalanan dahil ayaw nyang magalit ang mga ito sa kanya. Iniiwasan nya rin mapalapit sa ibang girls except me, which is one of his parent's greatest assignment for him dahil nga kami ang ikakasal, ayaw nila ng makakasira sa plano nila . Kahit alam kong mabigat sa loob ni Christ ang arranged marriage nato at naiinis sya, i don't really care as long as Christ and i will end up together. Siguradong-sigurado na yun..

Desperate? Nahhh..

Just a practical measure to end up with the one you really love, i think..

" Nasasakal na ako Sarah! Ayoko magpakasal sayo! Hindi kita mahal! Si Cristine ang gusto ko. Sya lang ang papakasalan ko, at wala na akong pakialam kung mapagmanahan ako nang mga magulang ko o hindi. Ipaglalaban ko sya. "

" Hindi Jake! Akin ka! Akin ka lang!!!! "

Cliche. Parang ang scene na to akmang akma sa magiging future situation namin ni Christ, lalo na if he'll meet someone whom he would really love... Ha! As if i would let it happen. I'll make him fall in love with me in any way before anyone does.

"Aaaand Cut! Good work Jordan and Jess. Bukas na ulit tayo magpatuloy. Let's all have a break."

Pagkasabi nun nang direktor ay nagpasalamat ako at umalis sa set.Naisipan kong puntahan agad si Christ sa office nya. I've been calling and texting him last night but he didn't answered any of it. Eventhough i'm well aware na ayaw nyang makita ako dun, wala na syang magagawa.

" Reeya ? "

Tawag ko sa long trusted assistant ko. Sya si Reeya, we've been friends since highschool and till now she's relying herself to me. The once nerdy and weakling chick turned into someone as hard as stone. Tapang kung tapang, Reeya is like that now. No more cries and heartaches. Stonehearted kumbaga. And it's all because of me. At dahil dun naging right hand ko na sya till now, kahit CPA sya mas pinili nya pang maging assistant ko. Sya lang ang naging close friend ko at wala nang iba.
