I never imagine na I will going to see how Tris work as an artist since I stop communicating with him like what my Mom wants.
Back then when we're in highschool he is already a model so when he said to me na he wants to be an artist alam kong desidido na sya.
People maybe look at him like he is a perfect idol but this guy has flaws up until now.
He was Tristan Ace Salvador, son of Tito Alexander Salvador, Director of ASE Hospital here in the Philippines but he refused na sumunod sa yapak ng Papa nito and now here. The people know him as Ace Lopez who's one of the brighest actor in the showbiz today. There's a feud between Tito Alex and him right now. I don't know if they have talked again after niyang tanggihan ito sa mga plano nito para sa kanya.
Tristan doesn't want to be controlled by anyone kaya he seems annoyed to me when my whole life was planned by my Mom.
I can see na he's really enjoying what he have now so I was very happy for him.
Tapos ko na syang make-up-an kanina at tulungan mag-saulo ng lines nya, right now he's talking to the director with Terry so I was left alone here in his tent.
"Are you the new P.A of Ace?" narinig kong tanong ng babaeng kakapasok lamang sa tent namin.
"Yes and his make-up artist too." I answered as I gave smile in her. I saw how she rolled her eyes to me.
"Where is he now?" she asked in a rude way.
"Ahh- kausap nila ni Terry yung director now."
"Ohh I see, I'm going to him na lang. Ciao." she said while rolling her hair on her fingers.
"Ciao." panggagaya ko sa masakit sa tengang boses nya.
I know her, they already had 2 movies together, she's Laila Tavera. Sana palitan nya na make-up artist nya kasi napakakapal mag make-up o pwede ko naman syang make-up-an basta aayusin nya ugali nya.
Noong mag-start na ang taping ay pinanood ko ito.
So ang itatake this time is kissing scene ni Tristan and Laila. Mataman ko itong pinanood. Last scene na itatake ito ngayon kaya't noong matapos ay dumarecho na sa tent si Tristan at kasunod nya naman ako. Terry is talking to the director again so kaming dalawa lang sa tent.
Kinuha ko na ang pag-kakataon ko. Kumuha ako agad ng wet tissue at nilapitan si Tristan. Hinawakan ko ang kaliwang panga nya para steady lang at hindi sya gumalaw.
"Whoa Triz bakit?" he asked me.
"Shhh, stay." niliitan ko ang mata ko para makitang mabuti.
I rub the wet tissue on his lips hoping that the kiss of Laila kanina ay mabubura ng ginagawa ko.
"Ayan wala na." I let go his face and smile at him.
"What was that for?" naa-amaze nyang tanong sa akin.
"Well, baka kasi mahawaan ka nang rabies ng Laila na yun, mabuti na yung nag-iingat." natatawa kong sagot.
Natawa din sya sa sagot ko. Inakbayan nya ako at ginulo ang buhok ko. Napasimangot naman ako sa ginawa nya.
"Palagi na lang!" pasaring kong sabi sa kanya. Tinawanan nya lang ako at tinulungan akong ayusin ang buhok ko muli.
"Grocery tayo, samahan mo ako."
"Saan tayo? Pwede ka ba talagang lumabas para mag-grocery?" concern kong tanong sa kanya.
"Gabi na naman saka I have these." sabay pakita ng hoodie jacket nya at sumbrero.
Napangiti naman ako at tumango tango bilang pagsangayon.
So dahil madaming tao sa malapit na grocery store sa bahay niya napilitan kaming pumunta sa dati naming tinatambayan noong mga bata pa kami.
We used to hang out here in the park near to our old house. Meron ding katapat itong 711. Bumili kami ng cone ice cream before kaming maupo sa swing. Dito kami nag-lalaro noong elementary pa kami and dito din kami tumatambay noong highschool naman kami. We are with our yayas na napag-kaalaman naming mag-bestfriends pala. Hindi ko sinusumbong si Ate Lina kay Mama at ganoon din sya sa akin.
I remember dito padin sa subdivision na to nakatira si Tito Alex so napag-isipan kong i-open ang conversation about doon.
"Do you visit or talk to Tito Alex man lang ba? I saw him accidentally sa isang party ng business partner namin this year, he aged but still pogi padin. Hindi ko naman sya nakausap ng matagal kasi my mom is around lang." I asked him. Nakita ko ang pag-iling nito.
"He's still mad on my decisions up until now."
"You seems happy right now."
"But he can't be happy for me."
I finish my last bite of ice cream and I started to move my feet papalapit sa kanya.
"Tito Alex loves you, I'm really sure of it." I told him at hinawakan sya sa balikat.
I saw how he throw his cone and hug me tight, with his face on my belly.
Tristan maybe became an Idol to many but he's still a baby for me until now.
