Chapter 13

Kinagabihan ay agad nabalita ang pagpunta ko sa mansion ng mga Versalius. At ang maraming haka-haka kung bakit ako nandoon.

Our manager, tito Lar keeps calling on me panay ang tunog ng cellphone ko at ang pag-ilaw ng screen nun. Nakatulog ako pag-uwi ko kanina kaya gabi ko na nasagot ang tawag niya.

"Tito Lar," napahilamos ako sa mukha. I am half awake. Tulog pa ang diwa ko.

When I answered the phone, I heard Tito Lar sigh with relief.

"I was worried. Kanina pa ako tawag nang tawag ang akala ko ay napano ka na. Where are you, Raze?"

Napatingin ako sa paligid, specifically sa bintana. It's so dark outside. May bagyo ba? O sobrang tagal kong nakatulog?

Inilayo ko kaunti ang screen sa tainga ko para masipat ko kung anong oras na sa screen ng cellphone ko.

11:40 PM?

"Shit!" napangiwi ako ng maalala ko na nasa kabilang linya pa pala si tito Lar.

"I mean...uh nakatulog ako pag-uwi ko dito sa condo."

"That explain why you're not answering everyone's call." I can imagine tito Lar's nodding his head.

"Anyway, I called because of the news. Is it true? Napanuod mo na ba?"

Nangunot ang noo ko.

"What news, tito?" I asked doumbfoundedly.

"You and Greg are all over the news. You visited the Versalius's mansion. There's a lot of speculations from the people. Lalo na sa mga fans niyo na ngayon ay mas lalong bini-big deal ang pagkikita niyo at sa mismong bahay pa ni Greg."

"Well..."

"If you're not fine with what the big boss wants it's okay I won't force you. We can always find alternative solutions for this. You don't have to pretend."

"We know we can't say no to our fans." I shrugged my shoulders.

"At isa pa nangyari na rin naman. The media already seen us. Mas mahihirapan lang kaming itanggi iyon ngayon. At mas lalong magiging issue lang kung gagawin pa namin. We won't get any benefits from it if ever it happens, only bad feedbacks. Have you call Greg? He's the one who planned all of this and technically I'm clueless until I got into their mansion." paliwanag ko.

"I'll call him later. After this." he answered.

"Okay. That's good. I'm just...gonna go with the flow." tumatangong sabi ko.

"Ayoko ng gawing kumplikado ang lahat ng bagay. If this is gonna be good for everyone...I'll do it." I'm tired of the fans that keep shipping us and pushing us to each other. Matagal na kaming tapos ni Greg pero mukhang kahit ilang taon ng lumipas ay hindi pa rin nakakamove on ang mga fans namin.

Actually they become much more wild about us especially after the news spread on tv. Hindi lang sa tv kundi sa mga social media. They are bombarding me lots of dms from my social accounts.

I have to mute all of my notifs.

"I have to what?" mali ata ako ng narinig. We are in the meeting with tito Lar. Wala ngayon ang big boss namin na siyang main sponsor ng team namin and technically the main who's handling our team, tito Lar is the second.

"You heard me, Raze." tila bored na sagot ni Greg. Nakapatong ang paa sa lamesa. I find it very arrogant but everyone knows that's how Greg is.

At hindi ako makapaniwala kung paano nahuhumaling ang lahat ng kababaihan sa kaniya gayong wala namang maganda sa ugali niya. He don't even know how to treat women right.
