Ferrie’s pov.
Fuck, that girl— I’m talking about that girl, Aya Fenchen, who’s been here together with Eaze.
How come she’s here? Is she messing with me? Arg! Nakakairita, napipikon na ako sa kanyang presensya. Ano ba kasing ginagawa nyan dito at dinala pa ni Eaze?
Don’t tell me he planned to ruin my mood on this first day set-up for us? Is he trying to show how Aya treats him? Kung paano siya landi-landiin sa harap ko? Fuck, just thinking about it— I can’t tolerate it. Paano pa kaya kung makikita ko na mismo.
You, Aya Fenchen— fuck off!
“Our set-up is ready, actors be ready!” Nabalik ako sa aking ulirat ngunit wala sa wisyong napatuon ng tingin sa sumisigaw naming director.
I almost forgot na may taping kami ngayon. Masyado akong na-lost in thoughts dahil sa kanya.
Nilalamon ako ng hinanakit, selos at inggit. It should be me. But— arg! Ferrie, snap out of it and focus sa main goal natin ngayon.
It’s my first day of work again— I can’t just ruin it because of her. Besides, this day? it’s a great day. Why? Because finally, I get to work with him
It’s our first shot being a couple tandem again.
I’m talking about myself being the leading lady and Eaze as my leading man. We’re the main characters destined to be together again— at least I guess.
But for so many reasons, we can’t be together for now. I suddenly threw my sight toward Eaze’s direction at halos mang-gigil ako sa aking nakikita.
He’s with her. I can’t tolerate seeing him with another girl. Kahit pa alam klng kaya niya ito ginagawa ay para sa akin din. It’s fuckin’ hurt, seeing your man doing sweet couple moments with another girl in front of you.
Nanggigigil ako sa sobrang inis. I want to control my emotions but I can’t. It seems like my appearance outside looks alright, pero sa loob? Sabog na sabog na ako.
Naiinis ako while looking at her presence. Why do I feel like she’s been enjoying her position now? Acting like they’re the real thing? Huh? Well, dream on, bitch! Because I’m the real one.
The only reason behind all this shit was me. Kaya ’wag kang mangarap na parang nasa ulo mo na ang korona. Dahil una pa lang, ako na. Ako ’yung totoong may-ari ng korona na hinding-hindi mo masusuot.
Enjoy your day just for now. I’ll snap your dream later on and make sure na magigising ka talaga, sa masayang panaginip mong magiging bangungot.
Hours have passed and finally nag-start na rin ang taping, which started with me of course— and Eaze. We’re now shooting the teaser of the movie titled Between Us.
I thought ako lang ’yung lalamunin ng inis, galit, at inggit ngayon because of her presence, but after reading my script again? Parang ikinatuwa ko pa na pumunta siya dito upang manood in person.
Why? Because we have a scene where the leading lady— me— will kiss the leading man.
Gusto kong ipakita sa kanya, harap-harapan, kung paano ko ulit angkinin ang pagmamay-ari ko talaga— para naman mamulat siya kung saang lugar ba talaga siya mas nararapat.
“In 1 take, 1... 2... 3... Action!”
“Hon, I’m— leaving.”
“You’re what?”
“I’m leaving.”
I suddenly walked toward Eaze, approached him, then started to cry slowly to show my deep, hurt emotion— because that’s my role.
