Pumasok na kami sa building. Everyone stared at us, lalo na kay Laila since nasa bewang nya ang braso ko.
Laila nervously look at me. Halata sa mukha nya ang pagkakaba. Ngayon lang ata sya nakatanggap ng atensyon na ganito. Well, what do you expect? Her pretend boyfriend is the great Dave Lacosta? I smirked.
I pull her closer and kiss her head.
"Don't mind them. Mas maganda ka sa kanila." pinalo nya ako and then chuckled.
Nang nasa tapat na kami ng office ni Tita G. ay huminga muna sya ng malalim. I stared at her and smiled. Wala naman syang dapat na ipag-alala. Sagot ko 'to lahat.
We opened the door and saw Tita G. sitting on her chair, looking at us. We both smiled at her and kissed her cheeks.
"Good morning to the two of you." she said while smiling.
"Oh, look at you iha. You've changed." she smiled at Laila while eyeing her from her head to her toes. Well, mas bagay naman talaga sa kanya ang ganyan.
"Yes po Tita. Ba-I mean Dave help me a lot improving myself." tumawa ito ng pakaba. I chuckled. Muntik nya nang matawag ako sa endearment naming dalawa in front of Tita G.
Tita G. smiled at me warmly. I know she's thankful like Laila but this is not about me, I just help her because I know this is the right thing to do sa kabila ng pinaplano ko kay Laila.
"Well, T-thank you Dave. This is a great help for Laila. She deserves this." makahulugang sabi ni Tita G. na medyo basa na ang mga mata. Why so emotional? This is small help.
"Well, this not matters to me. Mas mapapadali ang trabaho nya if may alam sya. I don't want other people bully her dahil sa ganyan lang sya. Laila is a beautiful, smart lady."
Tita G. hugged me, and also Laila.
"Hahaha tama na nga ito. Masyado ng emotional. Well, upo muna kayo."
Umupo kami ni Laila sa nakalagay na upuan sa tapat ng table nya. Umupo din aya at kinuha ang isang folder sa drawer.
"This will be the content of the movie. Since naitawag mo na sa akin na kukunin mo na ang project ay kinuha ko na ito sa producer. You will be also having meeting with the whole cast including the director and the producers." she handed the folder to Laila.
Laila accepted the folder and quickly scan the content and smiled. Why is she smiling? May gwapo ba na cast doon?
"Marc will be there too. Dapat sya ang magbibigay sa inyo yan but may tinatapos lang sya so ako na ang nagbigay. I heard you have a shoot today?" she asked.
"Ah, yeah. Actually, we are going there after this." she nodded and stand up.
"You better go now. Baka maipit kayo ng traffic sa edsa."
I nod and kiss her cheeks. Laila hugs her and waved goodbye.
Lumabas na kami ng office ni Tita G. na magkahawak-kamay. Mas dumami na ngayon ang mga nakatingin sa amin. I even saw someone took picture of us but I don't care. I'm going to introduce her to the public but this is okay. Atleast everyone will know that this woman behind me is mine. Dave Lacosta's property.
"Grabe. Nakakaconcious naman sila tumingin." nakangusong sabi ni Laila nang makapasok kami sa kotse ko. Nagstart na ako magdrive saka sya sinagot.
