CHAPTER THIRTY-SIX

"Splendid." Nikita, the Creative Director, commented.

Ngumiti ako dahil doon, napaka-sayang makarinig ng magagandang komento mula sa kanila kahit na mismong shutter ng camera lang ang maingay sa buong studio.

"Good job, Priscilla, it's so nice to work with you." Adriana said after the last frame. Ito din ang unang pagkakataong nakasama ko siya sa isang cover magazine.

I was tagged team with Adriana which one of the great model in the industry. She has two daughters now, but she maintained to have a glorious body. Hindi naman naging hadlang sa kaniya ang pagkakaroon ng mga anak. In fact, the management allow the models to have it.

"Thank you!" I light my face with a smile as I thanked both Adriana and Nikita.

Nagkibit balikat si Adriana habang nakangiti sa akin bago siya bumalik sa dressing para magpalit ng damit.

Nikita approached me, "Wanna see the results?"

Tumango ako, "Sure." Sa pagtango ko ay siyang pagpasok si Shaun sa studio. Ang laki ng utang na loob ko kay Shaun at Russel dahil sila ang nagbigay tulay para masabak ko ang modeling industry.

Almost four years ago when I won on a modeling competition abroad that's why laking pasalamat ko dahil nakilala ako ng mga agency and company. And as one of the prize sa competition, I had a 2-year contract sa isang magazine. Two years din akong naging amateur model sa Pilipinas bago sumali at nanalo ng unang beses.

Pinakita sa amin ni Nikita ang mga shots habang nasa tabi ko si Shaun, my fairy god mother ko. "Walang sayang, P." natutuwang bulong sa akin ni Shaun. Kinikilig naman ako sa tuwing nakakatanggap ng papuri sa kanila.

"Ahhh, thank you!" Napayakap ako sa kaniya sideways.

"You never fail me to impress, Priscilla." Nikita said with a beautiful smile. Nikita is transwoman with creative mind when it comes to modeling and cosmetics. She has a successful run in the industry where she compensated based on her work and sold products.

"I'm glad I didn't disappoint you, Nikita." I'm sure my eyes gets narrowed because of smiling.

"Well, maybe I see next time..." Nikita.

I politely nod. "Uhm, yes!"

Eventually, they packed up after the complete and success photo shoot today. Meanwhile, I have to change my clothes in the dressing room. We're in New York today, it's been a week since we arrived here to fulfill the contract with them.

Next month, December, I'm going to be back here for the rehearsal and final show of the fashion week. I was ramped with multiple runways since the day I won the competition. It gave me a lot of opportunities outside the country. I traveled most of the Europe countries just to attend a runway show, but I made sure I spend good times with my biological father's family and my own son.

Russel conclusion was true, we found out that I'm Filipino-Namibian in blood. I have biological father and I met him when we visit the Republic of Namibia. Pangalawang asawa pala ni Mama si Papa pero tinuring at minahal ko siya kahit hindi ko alam na hindi siya ang tunay kong ama. Malaki din ang sakripisyong binigay niya sa akin noon, kaya naman pinalitan ko lamang iyon bago siya mamatay.

Nami-miss ko na nga din sila, eh.

Lumabas ako sa dressing room na suot ang sariling damit, and sunglasses hanging in my shirt. Sinundan ko si Shaun, at sabay kaming nag paalam kay Nikita at sa buong team. I thanked them for the good treatment. They were all incredible.

"Bye-bye, guys! I'll see you on the runway." Nikita bid a goodbye.

I waved before we exit the building. It was a nice experience in New York. Dati pinapangarap ko lang na makapunta dito. They say it was the concrete jungle. Sa dami ng tao at mga establishment hindi mo na alam kung saan mo gustong pumunta at mamalagi.
