Lock & Luck (A futuristic reality...)

Chapter 7: That warm embrace

Matt’s POV

I guested in ASAP today for the promo of ‘Biggest Loser: Celebrity Edition’.

She was also here, as one of the show’s mainstay.

I just sent the flowers on her dressing room though I heard she’s not with her Mom, she was just accompanied by Ate Anna.

Something weird is happening, some of the staff is looking at me differently. They’ll stare and then murmur something to one another.

I am prepping up my things before going home when Luis enter the dressing room where I’m in.

Luis: Bro! Bigtime pala yung karibal mo ha.

Matt: Ha? What do you mean?

Luis: Don’t tell me, hindi mo pa alam.

Matt: Ang alin nga, Bro? Anong karibal?

He get his phone from his pocket and shown me a picture of a guy hugging Sarah.

I felt the tightening of my chest and my blood came rushing to my head.

Naki-usyoso rin sila Xian at John dun sa picture.

Xian: ‘Yan yung apo ni Henry Sy ‘di ba? Yung nasa billboard sa EDSA.

John: Bigtime nga...

Xian: Paano sila nagkakilala?

John: Baka dahil endorser nila si Sarah.

Luis: Tinawagan ko siya pagkakita ko. Nakilala niya sa New Zealand, nung nagbakasyon siya.

John: Ah...

Xian: Mahirap kalaban ‘yan...

Tiningnan ko lang ito nang masama.

Xian: Ibig kong sabihin...Mahirap kalaban pero lamang ka diyan pare!

Luis: Saan?

Xian: Sa ano... yaman? Hindi... sa ano... uhmm... sa itsura? Hindi rin... sa height? Lalong hindi...

 

Tiningnan ko lalo ito ng masama, tama bang isa-isahin yung lamang sa akin nung isa?

Xian: Sa ano pare... sa apelyido! Tama, sa apelyido! ‘Sy’ lang siya, ‘Guidicelli’ ka pare! Lamang ka ng 8 letters! Haha!

Matt: Sira ulo! Tigil-tigilan niyo nga ako...

 

Sabay tayo at hakbang palabas ng dressing room.

Luis: Ikaw ang mahal nun!

 

I just waved my hand loosely upon hearing that while going out of the room.
