SEAN'S P.O.V.
After what has happened, realization slapped me so hard.
It took me how many years just to get over what happened. And even though years had pass, still, I am not over that thing totally.
Every night, I dream of it. Palaging bumabalik sa akin ang lahat.
I needed medication for it. Until now, I am still consulting my psychologist from time to time.
"So Sean, what does it feel that you are now named as the prince of television?", tanong ng isang reporter
Nabalik ako sa diwa matapos kong marinig iyon.
It's been how many years and now, I am a successful actor. But what is the sense of this success without her in my life?
"It still seems so surreal. But then, I am thankful to my fans. Without them, I wouldn't be where I am right now", nakangiting sagot ko
Naghiyawan ang mga fans ko sa likuran at napangiti na lamang ako.
"An article has been published. It says that, before you and Riona was into relationship, there was another girl?", tanong ng isang reporter
Kaagad na nag-iba ang timpla ko at nawala ang ngiti sa mga labi ko.
Naramdaman ko ang pagnginig ng kamay ko kaya kaagad kong ibinaba ang mic na hawak ko at ibinaba ang kamay ko.
Why....why are they suddenly bringing up that right now?
"Oh c'mon! Laganap ang fake news ngayon, ano ba naman kayo. Haha. Sean had always been so faithful to me. So paanong may ibang babae?", sagot ni Riona
I looked at her as she smiled sarcastically at the reporter.
"Next question please", sambit ni Riona
May isang nagtaas ng kamay at kaagad naman siyang itinuro ni Riona.
While I....I am still shocked.
"Brynn Amery Narvaez. Does that name ring a bell to you, Sean?", tanong ng reporter na iyon
"I'm sorry, but I think that question is too personal. Sean wouldn't answer that", sabat ng manager namin ni Riona
"Why? Answer it Sean", pagpupumilit ng reporter na iyon habang nakangisi sakin
"We are here to talk about our upcoming film and not about our personal lives", kaagad na sabi ni Riona
Mismong siya ay seryoso na ang mukha at alam kong ngayon ay inis na naman ang nararamdaman niya.
I let out a deep sigh and calmed myself before picking up my microphone again.
"But Sean—"
"Yes, Brynn Amery Narvaez rings a bell", I cut him off
"Sean", bulong sakin ni Riona
Hinawakan niya ko pero hindi ko siya pinansin at nanatiling nakatitig sa reporter na 'yon.
Why do they have to keep meddling with our personal lives? Yes, we are actors but that doesn't mean that we don't have this so called privacy.
"She is my childhood bestfriend. She died 5 years ago. And yes, her name would always ring a bell because as what I have said, she's a precious friend who left this world years ago. Does my answer satisfies you or do you want me to explain myself further?", seryosong sabi ko dun sa reporter
