My Superstar 0.2 (Ongoing)

MY SUPERSTAR 25

"I'm sorry, Yuri".

Nakayuko si Nathalie at hindi makatingin sa akin habang sinabi niya iyon. Hindi ko alam kung para saan ang paghingi niya ng tawad pero para sa akin, wala namang may kasalanan o may gusto ng nangyari. We didn't expect this.

"It's okay. We didn't expect this to happen. We will think of another plan".

"I don't have any idea if who is the person behind the controversy. They didn't even inform me about the issue, it blows up early this morning. I tried to gather some information at the news room but I can't find any traces but one thing is for sure, my boss is involved in this, since she is Carmi's friend". Nagaalangan man kay Jin pero sinabi niya parin ang gusto niyang sabihin.

"What time usually your boss arrives at the office?"

"Actually, there's no specific time". Napatango ako sa sinabi niya. Napatingin ako kay Jae na nakatingin din pala sa akin.

"Nat, I need you to do something for me. Can you do a background investigation to your boss? All the information about her since childhood, I need it ASAP".

"Okay, I will do that but what's our plan?" nagkatinginan ulit kami ni Jae. Kilala ni Jae ang ugali ko, sa mga tinginan pa lang namin alam na niya kung anong pinaplano ko.

"None at this moment. Let's give the spotlight to Carmi. She will enjoy it for sure. Just focus on the background investigation and once we already have it that's the time we will do something".

Pagkatapos namin magusap hindi na rin sila nagtagal. Kailangan na din kasing umuwi ni Nat kasi hinihintay daw siya ng mga anak niya. Jae will take her home. I took a quick shower and change my clothes into sleepwear.

"Is there something bothering you?" paglabas ko ng banyo naabutan ko si Jin sa couch na parang may malalim na iniisip hindi rin nakatakas sa paningin ko ang isang brown envelope na nasa center table. Pilit siyang ngumiti sa akin. He tapped the small space on his side asking me to sit beside him.

"This is the DNA result of Nari". Kinuha niya ang envelope at iniabot sa akin. "You can use that as an evidence if Carmi accused you for having an affair with me". Tiningnan ko ang result ng DNA test. It's clearly stated "negative" and I can't imagine how he feels when he received the result. I know how he loves his daughter.

"How about Nari?" matagal siyang hindi nakapagsalita. Nararamdaman kong nahihirapan siyang magdisisyon kung ano ang makabubuti sa bata.

"Well, the reason why I'm still with her mom is because of her and JD. She's too young to experience having this kind of -errrr..well, I can't even call it as family. I know Carmi will do something about this issue. She will play as the victim so that everyone will be on her side". I think it's time for me to tell him the truth. Tumayo ako at kinuha sa secret vault ko ang mga ebidensyang binigay sa akin ni Nathalie.

"Those pictures were found by Nathalie in her boss's office. Check the dates of the photos". Sinunod niya ang sinabi ko. Mabusisi niya itong tiningnan isa-isa hanggang sa mabitawan niya ito. Parang biglang piniga ang puso ko ng marinig ko ang paghikbi niya. Dahan-dahan kong hinaplos ang likod niya.

"I-I'm s-sorry"..napaluhod siya sa harap ko. Hindi ko mabilang kung ilan beses niya sinabi iyon. Paulit-ulit siyang humihingi ng tawad na parang hindi siya nagsasawa sa ginagawa niya.

"I'm sorry for accusing you. I don't know what to say. I feel like I was stabbed directly through my heart. I didn't expect that she did these. I treated her well, the members treated her like sister..but why? Why did she do this?" hindi ko masasagot ang tanong niya kasi hindi ko rin alam kung anong dahilan ni Carmi.
