" Brielle what's wrong? Today is the main event pero para kang pinagsakluban ng langit at lupa? " saad ni Kean sa tabi ko habang inaayusan ako backstage kasama ang ibang mga modelo.

" Hindi pa rin sya nagpaparamdam sa akin " I sigh to hold back my tears again. Hindi ako pwedeng umiyak. Masisira ang make up ko.

It's been more than a week since the day that we argue at mula nga noon ay wala na akong narinig mula sakanya. I tried to call and text him yet it seems that he already discarded his phone.

Wala naman na akong ibang alam na paraan para makausap sya. I also tried to look around dahil sabi nya ay pinababantayan nya ako sa mga tauhan nya nag hindi ko nalalaman pero mukhang pati iyon ay ipinatigil nya na.

" Bakit mo kasi itinaboy? Alam mo syempre kahit sabihin nating mahal ka nyan. Nasaktan pa rin yun "  saad naman ni Kiara na tumutulong ayusin ang mga isusuot ko.

I feel so disheartened. Alam kong kasalanan ko at ilang araw ko nang iniiyakan ito. Siguro masyado akong nakumportable na mahal na mahal nya ako .. kaya ngayong biglang ganito ay sobrang hindi ko alam kung ano ng gagawin. Ghad Brielle! Ang tanga mo!

Sana pala ay hinayaan ko nalang. So what if the world knows that I'm dating him right? So what if they think that I'll just use him to boost my career? Masyado ko kasing iniisip yung iisipin ng iba to the point na hindi ko na naisip yung mararamdaman nya. Shit Brielle! Ang pride mo kasi!

What if he never come back? What if I don't see him again? What if it's really the end of our love? Anong gagawin ko?

" I know that you're broken right now pero kailangan mo nang ayusin ang sarili mo. May papasok na na media to cover the behind the scenes and preparations of the big event. Fix yourself "  saad ni Kean at umalis na sa tabi ko para may ayusin na kung ano.

I was left alone together with two hairstylists and two make-up artists. I looked at my reflection upon the vanity mirror and saw a beautiful lady yet without her soul. Halata ang kawalan ko ng gana sa mga bagay bagay.

Tonight is the last event of Milan's fashion week at mula nang magsimula ito noong  linggo ay lutang ako. No one has noticed my gloominess because I was too professional to handle everything in a normal state eventhough my world is silently crushing down.

" Excuse me Quinzel, I am Gwendel Lazaro from Blizz Entertainment. Are you ready for a bit of interview? " a gay in mid 30's approached me.

Ngumiti ako sakanya na parang wala lang ang lahat at palakaibigang tumango sakanya. Sa likod nya ay dalawang camera man at ilan pang kasapi sa crew nya.

" Brielle Quinzel you are known as an international model from the Philippines who already strut different runways and bombarded the covers of many international magazines. How does this big event of Milan's fashion show changes your experience as a supermodel? " he asked professionally giving me the limelight of the camera.

" Well it's such an honor to be part of this big event .. since it's my first time to actually strut the runway under an international agency and to carry four big names in the fashion industry like Chanel, Dior, Michael Kors and of course Armani. So it's really a different kind of experience since I'm also with the upper crust model of the world, it feels so heavenly and I'm really thankful for this opportunity " I answered gracefully in front of the camera just like how I always do in my past interviews.

" Speaking of Armani .. it was said that you got the slot because you were chosen by Viscount Herald himself, and since the fashion week started last Sunday, you were oftenly seen with him. Are you two dating? " he asked just like how other interviewers suck gossips from celebrities.
