Through You

CHAPTER SIX - On Announcement Day

~Kylie

The moment I saw the cold shoulder treatment of Gabbi towards Ruru, I immediately went away from Ruru, Far enough that no matter where he gaze, I won't be seen.

Again, Kylie, You are not at fault! Stop overthinking!

BAT BA KASI AKO NAIIPIT SA DALAWA?

This is what you get when you just got through a toxic relationship, The pain on me will linger forever, and will always makes me question if kasalanan ko nga ba talaga.

Habang nasa venue at nag aantay kami sa backstage iannounce, I silently glanced at Gabbi she seemed okay?

Pero kasi sa rehearsals, normal naman talaga sila ni Ruru mag act, parang after they bagged the role they stopped showing each other na din.

"Hingang Malalim. Pwede ka pang maging Glaiza ngayon."

I overheard glaiza stated. Pansin ko nga these past few days, grabe sya mag internalize, as in pag Pirena, Pirena. Pag Glaiza, Glaiza. I admire that kind of Mental strength.

This Gabbi and Ruru thing is making me sick. Can someone tell me that I am not in charge of someone else's but my own?

Well, You could tell that to yourself kylie, But it's you who won't believe.

I inhaled and then exhaled. I am not at fault. End of discussion.

"Ang taga pangalaga ng Brilyante ng Hangin, Si Sangre Amihan, Ang pinakamarunong at pinakamakatarungan sa kanilang mag kakapatid."

I again inhaled and then exhaled. I started internalizing my Amihan character again. As I was about to be announced, I dropped all my doubts and began to act as Amihan again.

"At gaya ng kanyang ina, Malambot ang kanyang puso sa taong mahal nya, Lalo na sa kanyang pamilya. Ang kabaitang ito ni Amihan ay naabuso, lalong lalo na ng kanyang kapatid na si Pirena."

Balance. That is the key to everything. Amihan is bounded by Balance. And that is what I needed to be. Balance.

"Ngunit kahit na mabait, Si Amihan ang pinaka mabangis at pinakamahusay sa pag gamit ng espada. Natutunan nya ito sa kanyang Ama sa murang edad pa lamang."

Hearing what the narrator had to say, I knew in my heart that Amihan will always be a part of me. I miss you, Pa.

"Sa kakayanan nyang kontrolin ang hangin, Kaya nitong mag anyong hangin at lumipad. Mahalin at humanga kay Amihan na gagampanan ni Kylie Pristine Santiago."

And that is my cue. I gracefully walked to the aisle and bow myself. I wanted to look fierce as Amihan is well known when it comes to using sword, but I can't contain my happiness as I was being announce as a character, I slowly attached my self to it.

I smiled. Then changed my expression to becoming pierced, then bowed again. I ought to myself, that I will make a version of Amihan myself, I will not make other versions of Amihan irrelevant, But I will make sure, my version of Amihan will have a view of how I am as a person. That will make me unique.

I went to the other side of the stage while Glaiza, Gabbi, and Sanya was announced consecutively. I unknowingly smile.

This is it. This is me. Finally announced. I never thought I would portray a warrior so strong. A warrior that seems to be like me.

After the announcement, the news reporter Iya Arellano came to us and asked us a few questions. With all our might we answered truthfully until laughs covered the whole segment report.

Immediately after the news announcement, all of us when to our respective cars. We have to undergo intensive training and that starts now.

"Nicole, nakita mo ba yung duffle bag ko?" I asked my PA. I have to change into comfy clothes later because I will be practicing Arnis.

"Ayan, Miss kylie, tinabi ko na sa upuan mo para madali mong maaabot." I looked to my right side and saw that my duffle bag is really beside me. "Thanks, Nicole."

No more other priorities, Let's make Amihan a success.
