"Louisse Herrera is the daughter of Tagaytay Governor Criseldo Herrera. She started off as a child actress in the Filipino series, Ang Diwata ng Pag-asa. At 18, she was signed into Astra Productions as a singer and actress, and gained even more recognition when she was offered ambassadorships from a variety of brands and-"
Natigil ako sa pagbabasa nung nagsalita yung katabi ko.
"Reading that won't make you feel better Isles.." Napatingin ako kay Kahlia at napabuntong-hininga.
It is the next morning and Tita George just sent me the list of the cast and team members para sa upcoming project next week.
I admit, I was a bit hesitant to read the list knowing that Louisse Herrera was going to be there. Pero wala na din naman na akong magagawa kasi nakakontrata na ang anim na buwan kong pagtatrabaho bilang substitute co-producer doon.
"Kahls, she needs to. Tsaka, hindi niya pwedeng isakripisyo ang pagiging propesyunal niya nang dahil lang sa nangyari kahapon. Oh, kape," Sulpot naman ni Seah at nilagay ang hinanda niyang kape para sa'kin. I smiled.
"Salamat."
I desperately need caffeine in my system today. Halos hindi ako makatulog kagabi dahil sa mga nangyari kahapon. Mukhang naubos ko pa nga ang isang pitsel ng tubig kagabi dahil lang hindi ako makatulog..
"Yeah, yeah. Fine." Sabi pa ni Kahlia at napairap. Tumikhim naman si Seah at napatingin sa'kin.
"Nga pala, kamusta ka na?" Tanong niya. Sumimsim muna ako sa kape ko bago nagsalita.
"Medyo okay na.. salamat sa inyo." Tipid kong sabi. Despite feeling worried, I feel slightly better dahil andito sila--tsaka napatawag na rin ako kay Mommy kaninang alas singko at medyo napanatag na ako roon.
"How about you and Kade? Any plans of talking it out?" Napatingin naman kaming dalawa ni Seah sa kaniya.
"Kahlia!" Mahinang sita ni Seah. I sighed..
"No, not really. Wala naman kaming kailangang pag-usapan." They both remained silent for awhile hanggang sa sabay na pumasok sina Xavier at Hugo sa kusina, both wearing properly ironed suits at mukhang may importanteng lakad sila ngayon.
Agad namang lumapit si Seah sa asawa at inayos ang kwelyo tsaka tie ng suot nito.
"Saan naman ang lakad ninyo ngayon ha Xavier?" Tanong ni Kahlia kaya nagkatinginan ang dalawa at binigyan siya ng isang malokong ngiti.
"Naku! Mambababae kayo ano?" Tanong niya at dinuro pa sila..
"Si Zave lang. Loyal kasi ako." Sabay yakap kay Seah kaya naghiyawan kaming dalawa ni Xavier, samantalang napairap naman si Kahlia.
"Ah, gago." Sabi niya sabay walk-out, na siyang hinabol rin ni Xavier kaya naiwan kaming tatlo dun na nagtatawanan.
Ngumiti nalang ako sabay hilig sa office chair nang maalala 'yon.
Time just runs so fast I can't even believe na luluwas na ako papuntang Tagaytay ngayon. I also heard from my mother this morning that my father is about to be discharged after a week of full on monitoring and testing.
Balak rin ni Mommy na lumipad nalang papuntang Amerika para mas matutokan si Daddy ng mga kapamilya at relatives namin na nakatira doon.
With the doctor's permission of course.
"Naku! I'm so excited for you hija! This is big!" Tita George in her all black suit, black stilletos and a black fedora hat greeted me in the halls of our building.
I almost really want to roll my eyes at her pero pilit ko siyang nginitian.
"Tita, I leave the company in your hands. Please don't do anything stupid while me and dad are not around." Bilin ko sa kaniya kaya inirapan niya ako.
