Pages Of Love: Malyn Aquino

Chapter 2

After scanning the comment section, I took a deep sigh once again before I tapped the deactivate button. I pressed Lafayette's number and rang her twice.

"Done." walang gana akong nagsalita.

"..Both your Twitter and IG?.."

I sighed again. "Yes."

Silence followed. "..How's tito taking the news?.."

"Unlike the usual, he's mad." mad was just an understatement.

That day when I asked for that hotel's personnel meeting I thought everything's alright. I've waited for my time, discussing my business to their manager. But the prick called up to my father's office and confirmed my identity by sending my cctvs's photo and ID's. I was shocked when my father rang my phone asking my whereabouts, at nakauwi na pala sila ni mom ng gabing iyon kaya nakausap siya ng mismong manager ng hotel kung saan balak ko sanang i-feature sa newest vlog ko that day.

I rushed home that day too, Lafayette wanted to come with me but I assured her that I can manage. My father went ballistic when he asked me to his study, talagang sobra ang galit nya pagkatapos ng nangyari. Hindi ko na daw siya binigyan ng kahihiyan sa ginawa kong pakikipag business deal, and he even called it "blackmailing". That ugly hotel, they ruined my reputation, and it almost ruined my name on social media pagkatapos ng mga ito maglabas ng video clip all over internet. Ang sabi pa nga ni Lafayette may mga sponsors na daw akong nagback out after seeing the clip, though she explained my side. And as of now.. I was thinking of suing that hotel for ruining my precious name. The heck of that old rotten hotel. They're not even belong to a five star hotels, nagmagandang loob ka ng tumulong tapos ikaw pa ang masama. I huffed while thinking of murdering their manager, that pig.

And now, my mom get a bit disappointment of me. Kahit hindi niya iyon sabihin sa akin alam kong hindi nya rin nagustuhan ang nangyari. Kita ko iyon habang kausap ako ni dad sa study. She barely talked.

"..I told you not to do it, but you never listen.."

"I know Lafayette, ilang beses mo na yang sinabi." napairap ako sa kawalan.

"..Two of your sponsors, retreated. Sana lang huwag ng madagdagan pa.."

I bit my lips before speaking. "I wanna clear up my name." himutok ko.

"..I'll let you do that, but not now.." she paused. "..And I heard from news, your family's lawyer fixing everything.."

"Yeah, mom told me about it." that my dad using his connections para matake down ang video, dahil nakaladkad ng wagas ang buong angkan ng Aquino sa eskadalo na ginawa ng hotel na iyon. They even come up with the story na naghihirap na daw ang family namin why I got desperate on breaking into their hotel without a single penny in my pocket, at nakakainsulto iyon. Sampalin ko kaya sila ng one million in a cents para may impact.

"..Why it's better for you to cooling down first, no social media for now. Let's wait for the news to die down. Then you can come back filming again.."

"Thanks bff." still with my saddened tone.

"..I'll come over later, may aasikasuhin lang ako.."

"It's okay. I'm just fine here. Maybe watching the sunshine goes down."

"..Ohh please!.."

I could almost see her rolling her eyes. Bahagya akong napangiti, Lafayette is really cute when she's doing that but at the same time ayoko siyang nai-stress dahil sa akin, lalo na sa mga ganitong klaseng problema. It goes, same with my parents. Ayokong sumasama ng loob nila sa akin. Pero hindi ko naman magawang hindi maging spontaneous dahil na rin sa nature ng career ko. I'm a public figure why almost all of my movement were captivated by lens.. and media. After ending the call, I again lied on my cozy huge bed.
