Through You

CHAPTER SEVENTEEN - Attempt at nothing

SORRY SOBRANG MIA, HEHEHE I'LL TRY TO MAKE BAWI CHARR

~Kylie

My day went smoothly once nabugaw na nila ung mga reporters. Narinig ko pa nga sabi ni Sanya, Baka naubos ko na ung bad luck for the day nang halos punuin ako ng reporters, ni isang bakelya sa script wala.

Palihim pa din ako tumitingin kay Ruru, di ko pa din kasi ma gets, kung bakit nakaya nyang pumasok. And he looks fine though? Which is weird, kasi kagabi I left him at what, 38 degrees?

I fix my stuff as my day ends. I glance on my side to see Ruru doing the same, typically, hindi ko sya nakakasabay since super dami ko mag ulit ng takes, hindi ako nakaka catch up sa time nya.

I can hear my inner voice screaming, Nakatitig ka na naman Kylie? "Kausapin mo na." I hear a voice from my behind, I look at the person speaking and it is Rocco.

"If you will keep on doing that, eh malamang, mapapansin na ng set ung mga titig mo." Rocco continues, "Wala akong sasabihin." Pabebe kong sabi saka tinalikuran sya. I can only give him stares, He only got out of a relationship and he deserves a little alone time.

"Your call, pero if the universe will keep on pushing you together, I say do not push back, let them pull you." Rocco says and laughs.

"Alam mo gago ka, Pano pa ako makakaiwas nyan kung may support na nakasama?" He looks shock, stares at me from head to toe.

"Hindi ako makapaniwalang sinabi mong gago." Sabi nya saka tumayo at tumawa ng malakas.

Dumampot ako ng gamit sa lamesa at binato ito sakanya. Ngunit ang bilis nyang umilag at ang nasa likod nya ang sumalo nito. Dun ko lang napansin na what I threw is my arm shield, the one in my kalasag. Ruru catches it, Rocco looks at him before giving me a glance and a wink.

"Amihan, I think this belongs to you." He says, sits down beside me, opens a can of coffee and sips it.

"Okay ka na? Buti nakapasok ka." I say, trying to check his temperature with the back of my hand, he stops me and catches my hand with his.

"Magaling yung nurse ko." Sabi nya saka binalik ung kamay ko sakin. I notice how different our skin felt, mine felt smooth, his is a little rough, but the skin color doesn't vary too much.

The thought had entered me, Can I say that Martin and I are just friends? Can I assure him? If he asks what am I saying those deets for, what will I answer? Am I supposed to say it now?

Kylie, again, you're overthinking this.

"Kylie!" I hear him yell, I snap out of it.

"Are you listening? Sabi ko, mamaya na ung scene kung saan ka galit kay Pirena." Then I remember. I need to drew anger from me. I need to harden my acting. Yun pala ung script na inaaral ko kagabi.

"Ate Ky, Kuya Ru, Tawag na po kayo." Sabi ni Mikee na naka suot pang karaniwang tao. Sabay kami tumayo ni Ruru.

"Ready?" Ruru says before we walk out the door. I inhaled a deep breath before following him. "Ready."

---

"Hindi ka masyadong galit." Ruru says, well actually he just repeated what Direk had said. Oo, alam ko na. This is on my 3rd take and I find it hard to draw anger in me.

"Here is the thing, remember what makes you angry the most, remember what hurts you, and remember what you did to calm yourself." Ruru says, both his hands on top of my shoulder. I nod, positions myself before thinking, what do makes me angry?

I try to recall my memories with Aj, and slowly I did get mad. I breathed again, and deliver my script. I was engulfed by anger, and the wind that was pointed towards me seem to heightened it. I feel exploding until I heard the cue. A bush was snapped behind me, revealing Ruru.
