Dahil nga na-invite ako to handle a supporting role, double celebration ang nangyari when we're finally arrived at Harris' restaurant.
To give you a brief background information, the past years of Harris working hard to be a marketing consultant before led him to fulfill his greatest goal in life... and that is to build his own restaurant.
Ang successful na ng restaurant niya ngayon knowing that he's a good cook, tapos gwapo pa. I've heard that Harris finished an engineering course way back, pero naging marketing consultant siya, now a chef and manager of his own restaurant.
That might be because not all the time, hindi 'yong related sa kursong tinapos ng isang tao ang makukuha niyang job right after that person graduated. Marahil it's their choice to not apply for a specific job related to their degree, or it's not their choice to take that degree during college.
Just like me, hindi Hospitality Management ang dream course ko, but still I choose to finish it. And now, surprisingly, I'm slowly introducing myself to the public.
"That's good to hear! Congratulations, Irene!" Delancy hugged me as she greeted me regarding the good news.
"Ibig sabihin ba niyan, magiging artista ka na rin? Aba naman, ang bibigatin naman ng mga tropa ko. Artista, e!"
Natawa ko sa sinabi ni Harris, and I don't even know kung compliment ba 'yon o sadyang nang-aasar lang siya.
"Kung pumasok din kaya ako sa showbiz, Eli? Tiyak hindi ko na kailangan mag-audition, 'no? Sa gwapo ko ba naman na ito, sino ang hihindi sa akin?"
Eli just chuckled. "Bro, kahit sa pagsali sa mga beauty pageant, may mga pinagdaraanan pa silang mahabang process bago maging qualified. Hindi pagandahan o pagwapuhan ang labanan sa showbiz, dapat may talent ka rin."
"Magluto ang talent ko."
"Kaya ka nga may restaurant, bro," Dylan commented. "Kung sasabak ka pa sa showbiz, mababawasan ang mga chef na kagaya mo. Gusto mo ba 'yon?"
"Tigilan mo ako sa kaartehan mo, baby!" Umasim ang mukha ni Harris pagkasambit no'ng word na 'baby' ni Magi.
"Ano ba namang endearment mayroon kayo ni Magi ngayon! Tumatayo ang balahibo ko, oh!"
"Single ka pa rin kasi hanggang ngayon," tumatawang sambit ni Warren.
"Ang bitter mo pa rin sa amin. Okay lang 'yan, hindi na kami aasang magkakaroon ka pa ng asawa."
"Gusto mong agawin ko si Delancy sa iyo--"
"No, you can't!" Delancy exclaimed. "Iinom mo na lang 'yan ng soju, Harris. Para lumamig 'yang ulo mo."
Tahimik lamang ako na kumakain habang pinapakinggan ang pinag-uusapan nila, at sa gan'tong paraan man ay masaya na ako. I just love seeing them teasing each other, nangunguna roon si Harris. And that's the thing I missed after months of being away from them.
"When will we be able to watch Irene's first drama then?" asked Magi in the midst of Harris and company talking about irrelevant topic.
"If I'm not mistaken, it would be in the last week of September." Eli then glanced at me. "I'm also excited to see Irene air on National TV for the first time."
Napangiti ako because I'm overwhelmed. 'Yong isang drama kasi na kung saan ay extra lang ako roon, sa isang website lang 'yon pwedeng mapanood, e. Sa gano'n pa lang ay kuntento na ako, basta ang mahalaga lang sa akin ay maka-arte ako.
But when the opportunity finally reaches me at this time, surely I won't let it slide.
Okay na ako sa supporting role, ang mahalaga ay mapapanood na ako ng mga tao sa TV. Alam ko namang darating din 'yong time na mahahawakan ko ang leading role, but for the meantime, makukuntento na ako to handle a supporting role.
