" Ms. Fuentabella can we interview you for a moment ?." a man from the media approached me, and others followed him carrying their cellphones and cameras, hearing its countless shutter, I hate that sound.


" Ahm excuse me but the CEO has a meeting anytime within an hour, we can schedule it next time ." my secretary begged to the media to stop filming and called the guard to leave the building immediately.


" Ms. Fuentabella! ." someone from the media desperately shout my name, I was about to enter the elevator but I stopped and went back to them.


" Please Ms. Fuentabella just for a moment, I know you'll be interested because it's about photography." the guy stutterly looked at me, I glanced his hand holding his phone pointing at me, nanginginig ang kamay niya.


I stared at the guy who said that, and I immediately want to slap my face for turning back to face them, I was about to accept the interview but I want to back out now but I'm already here, there's no turning back.


" Come to my office ." I smiled at them my secretary was about to say something but I signal my hand to stop her a sign that it's okay.


" But you have a meeting 30 minutes from now ma'am I don't think matatapos kaagad ang interview ." my secretary glanced at me then checked my sched at her tablet, we are in the elevator now, the media take the other one, I don't want a crowded place.


" Cancel it now, I don't want to cancel it last minute before the meeting, that is so not me ." she nodded and checked the sched again, the elevator opened at lumabas na ako, narinig ko ulit ang mga media na sumusunod sa akin, pagkapasok ko sa office nagsetup sila ng lighting while I placed my bag at the table and take off my blazer, I'm just wearing a white tube jumpsuit and pumps, I took off my clip and let my brown wavy hair down.


" Shall we begin ma'am ?." I nodded and sat down at the black sofa , at my back is a wall with hanged paintings for a background.


At first they asked me where I studied in college, what was my hobbies before photography, what inspired me in taking pictures, what is my insights about it, until it became a little bit hard to answer.


" Back then, do you capture special moments, for memories ?." I was froze a little bit because of that but I must stay relaxed because the camera is filming.


" Yeah, I always capture special moments ." back then, matagal tagal na.


" Do you still look back at these photos until now ?." I played my thumb getting awkward with the question.


" No ." there is no reason for me to go back, bakit pa? para saan?.


" Why is that ?." I was quiet for a moment before answering.
