prologue

This is an edited version.

"The meeting will start in a minute, I am sorry for the delays."

Direk Anthony said for the nth time before leaving the conference room.

I heard sighs from my co-actors and yung iba parang wala lang naman. While me? I am so bored, I hate waiting for someone or something.

"Sino ba kasing late?" I said and nilingon naman ako ni Sadie, bestfriend and at the same time co-actress ko.

"Leading man mo ata," she told me, not sure if she's teasing me or what.

"Bakit pa kasi hindi pa sinabi satin kung sinong mga casts?" I irritatedly asked her.

"Malay ko, production tanungin mo." sagot niya naman, as usual. She's always saying, si ganito, si ganyan tanungin mo if she didn't know.

I stayed still for awhile and talk to some other artists here until I felt my stomach aching.

Then I remembered I didn't take breakfast dahil sa kamamadali ko para lang sa meeting na 'to.

"I-kain mo na yan, girl." Iannah said and I smiled at her.

"Paki-sabi nalang kay Direk na kakain muna ako sa baba, thanks." I said and left.

In a minute, nakarating ako sa malapit na cafeteria. Lumapit ako sa may order station at wala pa namang crew kaya I get my wallet for a moment.

"Goodmorning po!"

"Oh my!"

I almost dropped my wallet, fuck.

I glared at the crew.

"Sorry po, ma'am." she sincerely apologize.

"It's okay. Just give me one chocolate frappe and a hotcake. Here's my credit card." I said and hand her my card.

Paalis na sana ako when she called me.

Lumingon ako.

"Uhm.. pwede po bang magpa-picture tsaka magpa-autograph? Idol na idol ko po kasi kayo, Mam hehe." nahihiya pang sabi niya.

I smiled at her cuteness.

Lumapit naman ako sa kanya. We take a picture and I put an autograph on her uniform, wala kasi siyang papel.

Umupo na ako sa isang table for two near the glass wall while waiting for my order. I got my phone and notifs started popped up.

As usual, it's from a random fans congratulating, sending love thoughts, sweet messages and the others. And also from my friends asking how's my day o tina-trashtalk lang ako.

Buti pa yung hindi ko ka-dugo, mahal na mahal ako, eh.

I smiled bitterly at the thought.

When I replied to some of important matters, I turned off my phone.

In a minute, my order was served and kumain na ko. I felt a little relieved than an hour ago.

Pero halos manlaki ang mata ko when I looked at the wall clock here in the cafeteria.

I am late!

Tumayo na ako at halos tumakbo na papunta sa building dahil late na nga ako. I also forgot that I turned off my phone!

Why the hell did I even turned it off?

Papasok na sana ako sa conference room when I felt that the nature is calling me.

Bakit ngayon pa? Huhu, ang sama naman oh.

I hurriedly ran towards the comfort room and also took a moment to retouch. I am wearing a white silk dress just above the knee and also a white heels. I also let my long straight hair down.

Ramdam na ramdam ko ang kabog ng puso ko papunta sa conference room. Rinig ko din kasi ang pag-uusap nila sa loob and nangingibabaw doon ang boses ni Direk. Our director who hates being late.

"Inhale, exhale....." I tried to calm down.

Until I had the courage to opened the door.

They all looked at me, but still the same faces.

"Kathleen, where did you go?" Direk asked me.

"Uhm.. nagutom po kasi ako kaya kumain muna po ako. I am really sorry." I said while looking below.

"It's okay, take your seat." He smilingly said and I smiled at him too before going back to my seat awhile ago.

But I noticed Sadie moved in the other chair while the chair beside me is empty.

"Bak-"

I was about to asked Sadie regarding that but someone opened the door and we all looked at who came in.

And all of us are completely shocked on who it is.

"Everyone let's all welcome, Mr. Aaron Mendoza, the leading man of Ms. Kathleen Sandoval for this year's biggest movie project."
