Pips, this chapter was inspired by a famous show. and eto na, nag-update ulit ako.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"It's getting really tough in the competition. And here I am really really jealous with you. You win this challenge and you will have a date with this freaking handsome guy. Ohhh, I did my best but it is not enough."

"yeah-yeah. You were telling me that again and again. So, what will I wear tonight?"

I was struggling on what will I wear for tonights dinner with this handsome guy. Hindi ko pa kasi alam kung sino siya because they keep it a surprise. Kaya naman naiingit ang mga co-models ko dahil ako lang daw ang makakadate dito sa unknown guy kasi for this day ay ako ang nanalo sa challenge.

I am the youngest here, with the age of 19 ay nakikipagsabayan na ako sa mga models para sa iisang mithi at ito ang manalo sa Next Top Model. This is my dream kaya naman ay grabe ang pagpupursige ko. Unlike sa kanila na marami na ang experience habang ako ay limitado lang, masasabi kong I did a good job.

"Kris! The car is here. You should take a photo with the guy, alright? Then, we will just edit it and change your face with ours, hahaha. I love you girl, enjoy the night!"

Natawa nalang ako sa sinabi ni Danica. In the house, she is the most playful girl and she really is one of the girls who makes the house light and happy.

I gladly enter the car. Sinisipat ko rin ang mukha ko kung maayos ba at ilang minuto lang ay dumating kami sa isang mamahaling restaurant. Le Gracioso is one of the best restaurants in the world. It really has the best atmosphere at masasarap pa ang pagkain dito. This will be my first time entering the restau at super super excited na ako.

The waitress lead me to a place na mukhang VIP ata. Nakaabang na din ang cameramen at mga staff ng show. I am all smiled na umenter sa spotlight and I see a handsome guy sitting and waiting for me. At first ay nablanko ako dahil sa nastruck ako sa ngiti ng lalaki. Ugh, meron na ako and I shouldn't be mesmerized with this guy here.

"Hi, I am Troy del Valle" sabi ng lalaki

Ngumiti muna ako bago ko tinanggap ang kamay niya. Nag-aalangan pa ako dahil nanginginig ako dulot na rin ng malakas ng aircon dito sa restaurant and I am wearing this backless fitted black dress na hanggang hita lang.

"Hello, Kristal Valdez."

"You are cold. Are you comfortable?" tanong nya ng makaupo na ako

"To be honest, uhm no" mahina kong sagot sa kaniya

He chuckled with my answer at masasabi kong dahil doon ay gumaan ang loob ko sakaniya. Muli akong mapatingin sa kaniya ng bigla siyang tumayo.

"Hey, w-what are you-?"

"you are cold, sweetheart"

Napatutop ang dila ko ng maramdaman ko ang kaniyang coat na binalot sa katawan ko. I feel like tumigil ang paggalaw ng mga bagay. I know that this is a show, na dapat naman talaga ay maganda din ang image na ipapakita ni Troy. But, i was happy inside. Kung baga, kinilig ako onti.

"You okay?"

Muli akong nabalik sa reyalidad ng magsalita siya ulit. Pero hindi na ako nakasagot pa dahil dumating na din ang mga pagkain.

I am a heavy eater pero kahit ganun ay hindi ito dumagdag sa weight ko dahil ganito na ata ang katawan ko. Though naggigym din naman ako para sure. I was drooling with all the food na nasa lamesa. There were many kinds of dishes and I only know a few of them. I was confused kung ano ang uunahin ko.

"Hey, what are you thinking?" tanong nya sa akin

"I am thinking kung ano ang una kong kakainin- ugh, on what will I eat first" pagbabago ko sa sinabi ko

"Don't worry, I am a Filipino so I can really understand what you are saying. So, you should try this. This is famous in this place because the way they cook the meat is not the usual one."

Napatitig na ako sa kaniya dahil doon. He looks so confident at masasabi kong maswerte nga ako at ako ang nanalo sa challenge kasi siya ang naging date ko for tonight.

Nang gabi ding yun ay nagkuwentuhan kami. His name is Troy Matthew del Valle. He is now 22. Actually, he was shocked that I am only 19 because he thought that I am 20 dahil na rin sa height ko though mas matangkad pa din siya sa akin. He is managing now his own resort and he is planning to make it one of the best resorts. He named it Costa Lumina.

He was the one who brought me back to the house. And before I got out from his car ay hinalikan niya ako sa cheeks. Mabuti na lang at hindi masyadong mailaw dahil baka makita nya akong namumula.

"I really had a great time with you, tal. Goodbye!"

And that was my first and last time na nakita ko siya ng harap-harapan.

Pagkapasok ko sa house ay agad akong dinumog ng mga babae. They were asking on what he is like and how was it. I told them everything at kinilig silang lahat. They asked me about our picture. And then, kaboom! When we took a picture ay ang phone nya ang ginamit namin at hindi sa akin.

They were so down dahil hindi nila ito makikita kaya naman to boom there feelings ay sinabi ko na lang ang pangalan niya.

Dumating na din ang kinanatatakutan ko though tanggap ko rin naman at isa pa masaya ako kasi it was really a great privilege na masali dito. Nang limang babae na lang ang natitira ay naeliminate ako at bumalik ng Pinas. Agad kong sinearch si Troy sa internet and I saw him. He was also feature in some of the magazines and articles. And I thought na ang gentleman niya but hindi pala. Malaking hindi. He is a womanizer. Eww, did he just kiss me on my cheeks?

That damn, Troy Matthew del Valle.
