"Let us all welcome, Bianca Reyes!"
Parang nabingi ako sa pangalang isinigaw ni Cole. I felt cold. Especially on my tummy. Parang gusto kong sumuka sa sama ng loob.
I stopped walking when I saw Bianca went in the middle of the stage, just beside Cole. The crowd went nuts! They were cheering Bianca and Cole. They were shipping them!
I didn't know what to feel.
Hurt. Disappointment. Disgust.
Why did I even expect that it was me?
"B-Bakit?" I unconsciously said.
I felt Daddy's hand placed on my shoulders. Napalingon ako sa kanya. Speculations begin to form in my head.
How come the last time we saw Bianca, they were pissed at her. Gano'n na lang ba? She was asking to buy a ticket. She didn't even need it because she's going to perform with them!
"Let me explain..." malumanay na sabi ni Dad. I saw him get hurt by the way I look at him.
"What, Dad?! That you're using Bianca for fame?!" I blurted out.
It's true. Bianca is famous. She may not act like it, but she is. Even if it's hard to admit, behind all those make-up, I know that she's pretty.
"H-Hindi naman sa gano'n, C-Courtney..."
"Then what Dad?! After all the things that she did to me, hahayaan mo lang siya, Dad?! You'll act as if nothing happened? For what? Money? Power?! That is absurd!"
I walked passed him but he grabbed my arm.
"Hindi gano'n, Courtney..." Umiling-iling si Dad.
"THEN WHAT?!" I shouted at the top of my lungs. The crew people near us darted their eyes on us. They were eyeing us. Now I'm making a scene. Just great! "Tell me why she's here! Tell me! Explain it to me that I'll understand! How come I didn't know about this, huh?"
"I'm going to tell you... Hindi mo lang ako binibigyan ng oras magpaliwanag, Anak," he reasoned out.
"When? Ngayon pa na alam ko na?! You went behind my back! All of you! I'm the manager but I have no knowledge about this? You know what? I quit! I don't ever wanna work with you guys!"
Before he could say anything else, I walked out on him. Hindi ko na tatapusin ang concert. Para saan pa? They don't even need my help. They won't even hear my opinion! When and how did this happen? Iwan ko lang sila saglit, only to find out they're contacting Bianca?
I was walking. I don't know where I'll go. Hindi ko alam kung saan ako tutungo.
"Nakakainis! Don't they have faces? For wealth?! Kalilimutan na nila kung gaano kasama si Bianca?!" Sinipa-sipa ko ang bato na nasa harap ko.
"'Walang ginagawang masama ang bato sa 'yo, Miss."
Napa-angat naman ako ng tingin sa lalaking nagsalita sa harap ko.
"What?! Get out of my way, asshole," inis kong sabi at tinulak siya para makadaan.
Damn! Namumula ako. Hindi dahil sa kanya, kung hindi ay dahil sa kahihiyan at inis. He probably saw me talking to myself.
"Wow, maka-asshole. For your information, naaawa lang ako sa bato," he said.
I rolled my eyes and faced him. I put my hands on my waist as I raised my brow. I squinted my eyes to see his face. The light from the post was enough for me to tell that he's got a great jaw.
"What do you don't care? It's not as if the stone has any feelings or anything!"
He stifles a laugh. I frowned.
