After Everything (UP Series #1)

AE 34

Chapter 34

Before our internship ended in BDO, they talked to me and GF. BDO offered a job for me and Daniella after we graduated from college. We were both happy about that, knowing that after we graduate, may trabaho na agad na nag-aabang sa amin magkaibigan.

They also asked the both of us to be their model/endorser of BDO. Since madali at ilang shooting-an lang naman, we both agreed. Isa pa, hindi pa naman nag-ii-start ang last semester namin nung nag shooting kami.

We also met the president and CEO of BDO. The second most richest person in the Philippines, according to Forbes. Mr. Montejo.

Wearing a cream rip-knit button front solid tee that tucked inside the black high waist denim shorts and black vans shoes, I went out of Adam's car. We were now here at Arena, to watch GF's game.

May schedule ng laro ngayon ang Lady Maroon. At kasama ko ang magkapatid na Adam at Kendra sa panonood.

I fix my clothes and also the baseball cap that I'm wearing. Isinuot kong muli ang sling bag na dala. I checked myself on the side mirror and combed my hair a bit using my fingers.

Adam rested his hand on my back to guide me as we walk towards the entrance, kung nasaan kami ngayon. Kendra immediately went to me and snaked her arm on mine. She smiled and I smiled back. Sabay kaming dalawa na naglalakad papasok ng Arena. Si Adamson, nasa unahan namin dalawa.

Adam was wearing a white shirt, black knee ripped jeans and black Balenciaga denim jacket. Suot ang regalo kong itim na cross earring, ang kanyang gold rhinestone cross necklace and his gold wristwatch. While Kendra was wearing a dress.

Pagpasok na pagkapasok pa lang namin sa Arena, malakas na sigawan agad ang maririnig. Hindi ko alam kung saan ang pwesto namin dahil si Adam ang may hawak ng ticket kanina. Para tuloy kaming tuta ni Kendra na sunod lang nang sunod kay Adamson.

I felt my cheeks burning when Adam held my hand in the middle of the crowd. My heart started to beat loudly in my chest, especially when I felt people's stare at us. Bahagya akong hinila ni Adamson. Kinuha niya rin ang iniinom kong milk tea para nga mahawakan ang kamay ko.

I felt more embarrassed when I saw that Adam sipped on my milktea. He pulled me closer to him as he walked to some officers of UP just to greet them.

Nakipagkamay at mano s'ya sa mga naroon nang hindi binibitawan ang kamay ko. I mimicked what Adam did dahil hindi naman pwedeng nakatayo lang ako roon since I met most of them when I joined Miss UAAP, last year. I mean this school year.

Ganoon din ang ginawa ni Kendra dahil sa UP na rin siya nag-aaral. She's a freshman. A first year college student taking Bachelor of Arts in Film. Mukhang s'ya ang nagmana kay Tita Helen. At si Adam, hindi na kailangan tanungin kung kanino nagmana dahil kitang kita na, sa hilig pa lang maglaro ng basketball.

I looked at GF who was now sitting on their bench. She's wearing a maroon and green jersey shirt and short shorts. Her hair was in a high ponytail. Sinenyasan n'ya 'kong lumapit sa pwesto n'ya dahilan para mapatingin sa akin si Adam nang tangkain kong kumawala sa hawak niya.

"Puntahan ko lang si GF," he stared at me for a while before he nodded. Unti unti ko rin naramdaman ang pagbitaw n'ya sa kamay ko.

Mabilis akong nagtungo sa likod ng bench ng lady maroon, nag-iintay naman na Daniella ang bumungad sa'kin nang makalapit ako.

"Bakit?" agad kong tanong.

She shook her head. "Wala lang. Taray may pa red carpet ang pagdating, ah," she said in a teasing tone before she chuckled.

Bahagya kong iniirap ang mata. Wala talaga siyang kwenta kausap madalas. Akala ko pa naman kung ano nang importanteng sasabihin niya. 'Yon naman pala, mang-aasar lang.
