"you can't do this, Khea!" I slightly pull away my phone over my ear because of Hannah's thunderous voice from the other line. My manager.

"i already did, manager. Sorry-" she cut my words.

"you can't! You already signed a contract, Khea! Do you really wanted to be in jail, ha? If I just know that this will happen, I did not allow you to go back in there!" she said in emphasis but still in pleaded. But I didn't care. Buo na ang desisyon ko. Buo na ang plano ko, at wala ng makakapigil sa akin.

"and it is your work Hannah, to fix my mess. So just do it because i am already settled with my decision." I'm about to end the call but before I do that, she already said a sentence.

"and do you really think, i'll go there just to manage you? Sorry but if you really wanted to quit modeling here in new york, then i am no longer your manager anymore" she still said in emphasis. Nag pakawalan ako ng malalim na hininga dahil sa narinig.

Mahirap sa akin ang marinig yon mula sa kanya. Sya ang dahilan kung bakit ko na rating kung nasaan man ako ngayon, at hindi man ako sang ayon sa pag re-resign nya bilang manager ko ay wala na akong magagawa dahil buo na ang loob kong manatili dito sa Pilipinas. Pati alam ko na rin naman talaga ang isasagot nya sa akin una palang. Mula sa international management si Hannah at alam kong hindi nya isasakreipisyo ang malaki nyang kinikita sa New York para lang sundan ako dito sa Pilipinas.

"i'm really sorry Hannah. I just, wanted to live my life in here, to live with my sick father--" i am not done yet with my sentence but she already ended the call.

I just let out a deep sigh just to relax myself. But it couldn't help. I'm really feel sorry for her. But i am already stick with my decision.

Bumaba na ako ng sasakyan ko.

Limang malalaking lalake ang naka palibot sa akin habang taas noo akong nag lakad papasok sa kumpanyang tumaboy sa akin noon. Ang kumpanyang bumago sa akin. Hindi ko maiwasang hindi mapa ngiti ng mapakla habang pinag mamasdan ang kabuuan ng building nito sa labas.

It's nice to be here again.

Ibinaba ko sa mata ang shades na naka angat kanina sa buhok ko para protektahan ang mata ko sa flash ng mga camera ng kung sino sino. Sobrang dami kasi ang nag pupumilit na malapitan ako and even my body guards can't control and stop those photographers and fans who wanted to go near me.

Actually, i really got used to it. Nasanay na ako sa buhay na ganto. Na halos lahat ng kilos ko ay may kamera na naka tutok. Being model with the most expensive and popular brands around the world is such a big opportunity for me. I have been already on a different international red carpet ball. My name and picture were scattered everywhere around the world. I am the first Asian who become model in a lot of luxurious brand. One of the most highest paid model internationally, and i literally made my very own name. But here i am now. In this cheap country. Slapping everyone that the girl they trashed and exiled is now coming back with her huge name. KHEA BERMUDEZ.

"welcome to the PMNC Ms. Khea!" malapad ang ngiti ng medyo may katandaang babae habang nag lalakad papalapit sa akin.

Malayo palang ay naka buka na ang kamay nito upang salubungin ako ng isang mainit na yakap. She looked so elegant with her colored cream suit. And even if wrinkles were visible on her face because of age, her beauty doesn't affected by it. It's still there. But i don't care.

I gritted my teeth and tried to calm myself when she caressed my back while hugging me tight.

Nandito na ako ngayon sa isang hall nitong kumpanya nila. Everyone is in here too except from him.

PMNC is A multi billionaire company and the biggest channel here in Philippines. And i didn't imagine that this day will come, that they are going to offer me such a huge amount just to sign contract with their company.

Mahigpit at mainit na yakap ang ibinigay sa akin ni Cecilia. Presidente nitong PMNC.

Madiin akong napa pikit para pigilan ang nag susumidhing galit sa damdamin ko.

"Hi cecilia. It's nice to be here" i said as i face her. Forcing a wide smile over my lips.

"well, it's our pleasure to have you here" she said as she lead me to come with the big bosses of PMNC. halos pamilyar sa akin ang lahat sa kanila dahil minsan ko na din silang naka salamuha.

Isa isa nila akong kinamayan at bine-sohan. Halos mangawit na nga ang muka ko sa ka pi-pilitin na ngitian silang lahat kahit labag naman talaga sa loob ko.

"you look so stunning. Ms. Khea" malagkit akong tinignan ni Fredo. Chairman ng kumpanya. Halos masuka ako dahil sa ipinapakita nitong interest sa akin pero pinigilan ko ang sarili.

"thank you Fredo"

"wait? What? So you know me huh" nanunuya ang boses nito.

"of course" dahil naka lista sa isip ko ang lahat ng dapat mag bayad! At isa ka don. Fredo.

"Ms. Khea, please take a seat first. The contract signing will about to start" pag pukaw naman ni Cecilia sa atensyon ko. "Arkle is already arrived"

Hearing his name again make the beat of my heart aggressive. It seems like it wanted to escape from my ribcage. Para akong tanga na nasemento sa kinatatayuan ko at mabuti nalang ay bago pa mag hinala ang lahat, muli ko ng nahanap ang ulirat ko.

Thinking that in just a second is we'll see again make me feel kinda nervous. Shit! How could i feel this way now! You are not the old Khea, so please stop!

Pinakalma ko ang sarili ko at naupo na sa gitnang bahagi nitong pa-habang lamesa. Naka upo naman sa mag kabilang hanay ko ang mga big bosses. Samantala ang gilid ko ay bakante. Sa kabilang gilid ko ay si Cecilia at sa gilid nito ay si Fredo na anak nya.

Ang bakanteng upuan sa kabila ko ay para kay Arkle na gusto nilang itambal sa akin sa isang pelikula.

Ng marinig ko ang offer na ito sa akin no'ng nakaraan lamang ay hindi na ako nag dalawang isip pa na sunggaban ito. Matagal kong inintay ang pag kakataon na ito, ang muling balikan ang lahat ng umapi sa akin noon. And i think, this is the right timing for everything.

"sorry, i'm late" mula sa mga kamay kong mag kasalikop ay tamad na umangat ang mga mata ko sa isang lalaki na kakapasok lamang dito sa hall.

And then there, i saw him.

The coldness of his voice and aura sent shiver down to my spine. And seeing him again make my whole body in tremble. And i hate it. I hate thinking that this is the same feeling that i felt for him before. It shouldn't be the same Khea! You curse him to death! You already buried everything! You buried what you felt for him before just like how he whirled you.

Everything with him is far different with the man that i adore, with the man that i loved. Before. Sa paraan ng tingin nya, sa paraan ng tayo at pananalita nya, wala na ang lalaking nakilala ko.

Pero wala akong pake. Kahit ang hitsura nya pa ang mag iba ay wala akong pakielam. As long as he is Arkle, i will not stop until i saw him pleasing and kneeling in front of me. Hindi ako titigil hanggang hindi silang lahat nag mamakaawa sa akin.

And all of you should be ready, because this is the curse, of love.
