Suddenly, Still You

13

Photoshoot na ngayon ni Fretch. Hindi naman ako kailangan doon since ang taga PR department na ang bahala sa mga gagawin doon.

Ang dami niyang time ha. Para maging cover siya sa lahat ng magazines. In demand. Nakaupo lang ako sa swiveling chair sa office. Nabobother ako. Parang gusto kong makita ang photoshoot. Since ako ang magiging EIC muna dadaan saken kung anong photo ang maging cover sa magazine.

May interview din kami ni Fretch para sa article na gagawin ko. Wala na akong masyadong alam sa kanya. Pinahanda ko lang si Quim ng mga possible questions na itatanong ko during the interview. Mamaya pag natapos na ang shoot nila doon namin siya iinterviewhin.

"Ma'am tapos na po ang photoshoot"bungad ni Quim pagkapasok niya sa office.

It is already 5. Kaya dapat matapos ko ng maaga ang interview. Bakit ba kasi nag VL ang editor-in-chief ko? Di sana di ako kinakabahan ngayon.

Pagkapasok ko sa room, I saw the man I once fallen in love with. Ang hot niya tingnan sa suot niya. He is so damn attractive. Ngumiti siya ng bahagya ng makita niya akong pumasok.

Nagset-up na si Quim para sa interview namin.

"Ready ka na po ba Mr. Nurse sa interview?"tanong ni Quim kay Fretch na inaayusan uli ng glam team namin.

"Sure"tipid niyang sagot.

"Si Ma'am Avi po ang mag-iinterview sa inyo since siya ang magiging EIC sa next issue ng Pyrex"paliwanag ni Quim. Then I saw how he reacted sa pagkasabi nun ni Quim. Yung tipong bigla syang nabuhayan or something. I cannot pin for the exact word to describe his reaction.

Marami pa ring staff sa loob. I need to be still and do my job. Then Quim handed me the questionnaire. Di ko pa nababasa to pero I need to start the interview na.

We are sitting opposite with each other. Parang ako si Boy Abunda sa set up nilang ganito. Para kaming nasa TWBA.

"Just be yourself."sabi ko kay Fretch na halatang kinakabahan

"Thanks baby. I mean Avi"he fake a cough just to ignore what he just called me 3 seconds ago.

Baby? That endearment. It still lingers in mind everytime he called me that. It was always so good at my ears.

"Who is Fretch Alexis Alonzo?"that was the first question. "I mean can you introduce yourself?"

"I graduated Bachelor in Science in Nursing at Adamson. Took my masters abroad. Passed and topped on the board exam. Then one day I woke up becoming the heir of our pharmaceutical company"

I have questioned why he took up nursing just random questions under the sun. Then this question came

"Have you been in love?" I was hesitant to question him that pero I need to.

"There is only one woman I am in love with. She loves the moon and the stars. She likes sunset too. She is as bright as the stars at night. She was my cheerleader. She was the sunshine that brought meaning and happiness into my life"

I was just staring blankly at him. I knew I am that person he was describing though.

"She was my companion. My constant in everything. We shared happy memories together under the sun and under the moon. She was been so consistent in her medical banat for me which gave butterflies to my stomach. Thats how her banat and vulgar statement made me."
