Hit Of Love and Desire (LCS #3)

Chapter 20

Accident

That night napanatag ako sa kalagayan ni Yana but.. I can't sleep because of Stan. Baka isipin niya sinungaling ako, pero totoo naman na mag isa lang ako, dumating lang talaga si Chard. I'm thinking twice while looking at my phone contacts. Should I text him? Pero para saan naman? I tap his name and try to type a message.

Me:

Hi Stan are you mad?

I pout and delete. Napapikit ako at tinigilan na ang kahibangan. Maybe he's asleep now.

Kinabukasan agad kong chineck ang inbox, hoping that 'Yana' text me but there nothing. Nag aalala ako pero iniisip ko nalang ang sinabi ni Chard na ayos lang siya at stable na ang mama niya. Even she's not replying I still message her. Kailangan ko ring magkabisa ng script at bukas makilala ko na ang iba pang gaganap sa role play. Wala ako sa unang script pero kailangan ko paring basahin para alam ko ang flow. Well Romeo and Juliet is a common tragic love story, I think everyone knows about them, even not the whole story, I know a lot of people heard their names. But it is true? May pamilya kaya na magkaaway in real life at hadlang sa pagmamahalan ng dalawang nag iibigan? Siguro meron? But not like this.

Wala akong ginawa buong araw kundi magbasa at magkabisa, nakaupo ako sa mahabang sofa sa living room. I also take a picture of the script and put it on my story. I ignore the messages and focus. At noon, I realized that my parents is not home. Doon lang nag sink in na nag paalam nga pala saakin si Mom na aalis. At si Dad naman ay nauna sakanya. Nakalimutan ko lang kung pupunta ba sila sa company or what.

"Maam Dasha"

I look at Manang. May isang kasambahay siyang kasama na agad lumiko papunta sa kusina. "Yes?" Umayos ako ng upo.

"May bisita po kayo sa labas"

Tumaas ang kilay ko. "Who? Wala akong ine-expect na bisita"

"Taga BYC daw po"

BYC. "You mean the Beauty and Young Cosmetic?"

"Opo ang sabi ay nag email daw sila sainyo pero hindi kayo nag reply kaya sila nalang ang pumunta"

Napatango ako at agad kinuha ang phone. I checked my email and there a saw 5 emails for different brands of cosmetic. Hindi ko pinansin ang ibang emails at agad binasa ang sinasabi ni Manang na BYC. They're inviting me to be the young teen model of their brand new lipstick. "Papasukin mo" I said and put aside my things.

"Sige po" aniya at mabilis na kumilos.

I look at my clothes. I'm just wearing plain black spaghetti strap dress. I comb my hair and put all at the back. Hindi kona kailangan mag ayos. I'm fine with this. Ilang sandali lang, pumasok na si Manang kasama ang isang babae. The woman is wearing a white shirt mix with red line one the sleeve and sides and the logo of BYC at the upper right of her chest. It's tucked on her black pants. Her hair is also tied up, with make up on her face. She's holding a white folder on her right hand.

"Thank you" she said politely.

"Dito po.." sabi ni Manang at nilahad ang single sofa. "Maiwan ko na kayo"

Tumango lang ako. I smile to the woman. She smile back.

"Hello I'm Eula Aldomovar one of the staff of BYC, Beauty and Young Cosmetic and Maam Emma send me here to encourage you to be our model of the BYC brand new lipstick.."

I nod. "You are straight forward"

Mahina siyang natawa at medyo nahiya pa. "Maam Emma really wants you to be the model at alam din namin na hindi lang kami ang nag o-offer" she said politely. "Ang ganda niyo"
