Beauty From The Pain. (On-Going)

CHAPTER 53

AMARA'S POV

"Manager, please. Just let me rest for a while, I badly need it."

[Pero, paano 'yong mga photoshoots mo, Amara? Pati 'yong papasok na contract para sa'yo, bilang pagpasok sa pag-aarte. Papaano 'yon?]

"I know that, I know. Babalik rin ako, I will also update you. Huwag mong sabihin kila Mommy kung saan ako pupunta, okay?"

[Hay nako, Amara. Siguraduhin mo lang na hindi ka mapapahamak d'yan, ah?]

"Yes, Manager. I'll take care of myself."

[Ano ba kasing nangyari? How about Samuel? Hahanapin ka no'n sa'kin n'yan.]

I swallowed real hard when I heard that name.

"U-Uhm.. I'll talk to him when I came back."

[Alright, ako nang bahala dito, just make sure you're safe, Amara. I'm telling you, pareho tayong malalagot kapag may nangyaring masama sa'yo.]

"Okay, fine. Take care, too. Bye."

Pagkababa ko ng tawag, binalik ko kaagad 'yong phone ko sa passenger's seat kasunod ng pag-ikot ko sa steering wheel pa-kanan. I'm almost there at our rest house here in Tarlac, specifically in Gerona, Tarlac. Wala lang, while we long for more carefree days when we can be happily idle and unproductive kasi, we now have less time for ourselves na and more responsibilities to take on.

Kaya, napag-isip isip ko na lumayo muna sa toxic na trabahong 'yon.

'Pati sa toxic na tao. You know if who's that person, right?'

I had to leave early in the morning, to make sure that Samuel won't caught me. Good thing, Miguel gave me a helping hand to do my plan. Argh. By just remembering what he told me last night, makes me feel uncomfortable. Kaya, bago pa ako malunod ulit sa kaka-isip sa sinabi niya, nakarating na ako sa rest house namin.

"Ma'am Amara? Kayo na ho ba 'yan?"- salubong sa akin ng isa sa mga care taker ng bahay na 'to. I don't remember his name, though.

"Ah, yes. How's the place po?"- I asked him while taking out my luggage with few clothes inside. Tinulungan niya ako kaagad na magbuhat doon.

"Ayos naman po ang lahat, Ma'am. Wala pong nagsabi sa amin na darating po pala kayo rito."

"No, no, it's okay. Biglaan lang din naman po, at saka ako lang ang dumating, nasa work pa po sila Mommy."

I surveyed the whole area of our modern style rest house, if I'm not mistaken, pina-renovate ito last year even though we were still out of the country. Not bad. Ang ganda pa rin at mukhang presko, pinaka-gusto ko sa lahat dito ay 'yong malaya kang gawin ang lahat ng gusto mong gawin.

"Hatid ko na po kayo, Ma'am."- he said as I nodded at him.

Lahat ng nadadaanan naming worker dito ay binabati at pinupuri ako sa pag-dating. Hindi na ako magtataka kung bakit sila gano'n makatingin sa akin na para bang na-starstruck sila, dahil may TV dito, marahil napapanood nila ang bawat commercial na meron ako. My smile widened when an outdoor pool caught my eyes, until it landed on the garden with full of vegetables and fruits, I could see how fresh and relaxing this place is.

Walang second floor ang rest house namin na 'to, dahil pang-one storey lang siya. There are three rooms here, usually when we're having a vacation with the whole family, my Mom and Dad will use the master's bed room, while I'm on the middle room beside the guest room. Nang maka-musta ko rin 'yong ibang nagtatrabaho, pumunta na ako agad sa kwarto ko para mag-ayos ng gamit.
