Miss Moon (Misses Series #3)

Chapter 3

The flight to London is smooth. I slept on the half of the flight and for the rest of the flight, I spent my time watching movie. Nila and Mia are asleep at the whole flight.

Gusto ko man matulog buong flight pero hindi ako makatulog kaya naman pagkalapag ng eroplani namin sa London, agad kaming kinuha nang escort namin at dinala sa hotel.

"Matulog ka muna, Madam Amaya dahil bukas pa naman ang Fashion Week. Inform lang namin ang event organizer na nandito na tayo." sabi ni Nila sa akin habang pinu-pwesto ang mga bagahe namin sa tabi.

Hinayaan ko naman silang dalawa ni Mia na gumala. Malalaki na sila at kaya na nilang bumalik dito sa hotel.

The next day, the three of us are very busy. Maaga rin nila akong ginising dahil may pupunta rito na isa o dalawang staff ng isang well-known magazine para i-shoot ang behind the scenes ko for the Fashion week.

"Anong gusto mo para sa buhok ko?" nabigla naman ako sa tanong ni Nila sa akin.

Natawa naman kaming dalawa ni Mia dahil doon. Mukhang na gets namin agad yung mali niya pero siya hindi.

"Aba malay ko sa gagawin mo sa buhok mo, Nil." natatawang sabi ko sa kanya at pati siya natawa na rin dahil mukhang na realize niya ang mali niya.

"Ay, gaga! Sa buhok mo! Nakakabwiset naman 'to." natatawa niyang sabi sa akin sabay hampas ng braso ko.

"Aray ko! Ikaw'ng bahala, sino ba stylist ko?"

"Gaga, stylist mo 'ko. Hindi hairstylist. Huy ano baaaa."

"Wavy nalang para bumagay sa damit niya." sabi naman ni Mia sa kanya at silang dalawa na ang nag away kung anong gagawin sa buhok ko.

Ilang minuto ang lumipas nang natapos na si Nila sa aking buhok habang si Mia ay nagsisimula nang mag lagay ng kolorete sa aking mata nang dumating ang sinasabi nilang mag sho-shoot sa akin para sa behind the scenes.

We first shoot a scene where I recieved a box from Burberry, inside is an invitation card and a scarf.

"So, what are you feeling that you're one of the youngest that gets to be invited in Fashion Week?" the interviewer asked as the camera is rolling.

"I felt that I have the privilege since not all of the kids who's same age as me can be invited in this shows." I answered them smoothly, not knowing if that sounded rude or not.

"Is your sister one of the models for tonight's show?"

"I don't know, actually. She hasn't told me anything." I answered honestly as i slightly chuckled.

They continued shooting as they bombarded me with questions that I just answered honestly. After Mia did my makeup, I changed my clothes and we did a quick photoshoot in my hotel room and a quick shoot outside the hotel.

Dalawang runway shows ang pupuntahan ko, hindi pa ngayon ang show ni Zoe Vasilakis. I will attend two fashion shows for today and tomorrow and just one for the last day. And that is the show of Vasilakis.

"Miss Amaya, here!"

"Amaya, look here!"

"Madame Amaya!"

Everybody is calling everybody that is going in the venue. Mia and Nila will be not going in with me since it's an exclusive show. Sa sasusunod pa sila na show makakasama sa akin maya nama  naghihintay sila sa labas.

I saw some of familiar faces that I usually see during Fashion Week and thank goodness they didn't forget about me.

"Amaya, darling!" sabi ng isang sikat na model.

"Abigail, hi! It's good to see some of the familiar faces here." sabi ko sa kanya.

"Yeah! I thought there will be a lot of new faces but I guess it's still us." she said as we both giggled.

We sat down together with some of the familiar faces that we usually see and enjoyed the show.

After two hours, I immediately went back to the car because the show is going to start in about thirty minutes. Eh, mag bibihis pa ako sa loob ng sasakyan at kailangan pa ng touch ups.

Sa loob ng van ay may isang cameraman at yung interviewer kanina. Siya siguro ang naka-assign sa akin.

"If you thought our job is easy," I said as Nila is zipping up my dress at the back. "Then think again!" I said as the three of us laughed.

Mia checked my makeup and thankfully it was still there and it wasn't cakey at all.

We did another photoshoot because it was another different outfit. The first one is like a corporate attire but in a classy style, while this one is a flowy dress.

"Tara na!" I called my friends.

This fashion show that we'll be seeing is unusual since we're free to roam around while the models are continuing to walk in the runway.

We had our champagne flutes as I am greeting some of the familiar faces that I saw the last year's Fashion Week in London.

"I thought I'd never see you here, Amaya!" sabi ng isang sikat na modelo.

"Yeah, I planned on not going since I'm busy in my studies in the Philippines."

"Then thanked God that you freed your schedule just to go here. London Fashion Week is a must, Amaya!" she said so cheerful.

I was about to find Mia and Nila but I bumped in a tower... or a man.

His reflexes are fast since he held me in my waist and got the flute in my hand.

"I-I'm sorry," I stuttered since I am busy realizing that I bumped into a handsome man.

"It's okay, Miss." he said as he checked me if I am okay.

"Are you okay?" he asked as he handed me back the flute of champagne.

"Yes. I'm sorry, I was about to find my friends and I bumped into you." I explained to him.

Why did I explained to him? Gosh, Amaya. Nakakahiya ka.

"It's okay, do you need help finding them?" he asked me as he was staring straight into my eyes.

"U-Uhh," I continued to scan the place but I can't find the both of them.

"Are you with someone? Maybe someone is waiting for you?" I asked, making sure that I am not bothering someone.

"If you're asking me if I have a date in a Fashion Show," kapal ng mukha niyang sinabi sa akin.

"I don't have a date." he said as he smiled at me.

"Ang kapal naman ng mukha." I whispered to myself.

"Excuse me?" he asked.

"Nothing. Then can you please help me find my friends?" I asked sweetly.

"Of course," he said, offering his hand and I gladly took it and he placed it in his forearm.

"Can I ask what is your name?" nahihiya kong tanong sa kanya habang tinitingnan na kami ng lahat.

"Aidan," he said as he looked at me and smiled... again.

"I'm Aidan Darieos."

Darieos? That name sounded familiar. Hmm. Nevermind. I need to find my friends since they just left me alone in a group of models!

"And you?" he asked me back.

"Ah! Sorry." that sounded really Filipino so I giggled a bit.

"Amaya Soledad." I told him my name that I usually said in these kind of events.

"Selene Amaya, right?" he asked and I blinked twice at him.

"How did you know?" I asked him.

"I just know." he said as he shrugged his shoulder and we continued walking.
