Fragile Hearts

Late Nights

Kasalukuyang nag aalmusal si Althea nang may kamatok sa pinto. She wondered who could it be.

"Jade?" Althea thought.

Binuksan nito ang pinto at nakita si Bea at Louise na naka ngiti habang may dalang pizza.

"Goodmorning Althea. Pwede ba kaming pumasok?" Tanong ni Bea.

"Ah, yes. Pasok kayo." Sabi ni Althea.

"What brings you here." Althea asked.

Umupo ang dalawa sa sofa. Bea was the one to explain.

"Pumunta kami dito para pag usapan yung trabaho mo kay Lousie." Sabi ni Bea.

Naupo na rin si Althea sa sofa katapat ang mga ito.

"What about it?" Althea's eyebrows furrowed.

"Well, Louise is quitting modeling." Tumingin si Bea kay Louise.

"W-what? Bakit?" Tumingin si Althea kay Louise ng naguguluhan.

"She'll be debuting as a solo artist. She'll be a singer." Bea said and Althea was shocked.

"Y-you sing?" Althea asked.

"Yes. And of course, sabi ni Bea ikaw daw yung magiging photographer ko para sa album's picture ko." Sabi ni Louise at ngumiti kay Althea.

"Wow, hindi ko alam na kumakanta ka pala. Alright, I'm in." Ngumiti si Althea.

"Good to know. By the way, kamusta pala yung shoot ni Jade?" Tanong ni Bea.

"The Natural concept is done. Wait kukunin ko lang yung camera." Sabi ni Althea at nag mamadaling pumunta sa studio para kunin ang kanyang camera.

"Told you, she's one of a million." Bea said to Louise then smiled.

"I agree." Louise said.

Bumalik si Althea dala ang camera nito sa kamay.

"Look at these." Althea said then gave the camera to Bea.

Bea was scanning the photos and was impressed.

"Ver good." Bea said then she saw the picture of Althea that was captured by Jade.

"Sinong kumuha nito?" Tanong ni Bea.

"Oh, J-jade captured that one." Althea shyly said.

"You're photogenic Althea." Louise complimented and Bea nodded in agreement.

"T-thanks. Ano pala yung next concept by the way?" Tanong ni Althea.

"Oh, magugustuhan to ni Jade." Ngumiti si Bea.

"Bakit?" Tanong ni Althea.

"You'll be shooting her with her cat." Bea said.

"C-cat?" Tanong ni Althea.

"Yes. The purpose of this project is to let the people know — my parents know the true Jade. It would reflect to her self. I hope nag kakasundo talaga kayo. Mabait yon kahit na minsan matigas ang ulo but she's good." Sabi ni Bea.

"Hmm. I see." Althea said and nodded.

"I will just text you if you need to go to my office to shoot Louise for her album alright?" They stood up and was about to leave.

"Alright." Then Althea bowed.

"Bibisitahin din namin si Jade but please, enjoy the pizza." Bea said then left.

Hindi na kumatok si Bea sa room ni Jade dahil alam niya ang password nito.

"Wow, sobrang kilala mo na talaga siya noh." Natawa naman si Frances.
