I Belong to You Everyday

CHAPTER 13

Have you done something spontaneous that you suddenly regretted? Well, I guess going public again on my social media account is fit for that situation. My followers suddenly increased by twenty thousand on Twitter while my Instagram account increased by almost fifty thousand.

This could only be the beginning. They will bring up things whether I like it or not.

People managed to find my audition tape six years ago and it is circulating now online. The hashtag #NewActor is trending now at number one which according to some of the tweets that I read, they just started it as a joke. The original post that shared the video has over thirty thousand likes with twenty-seven thousand retweets.

Scrolling through the timeline, I feel the validation that I didn't felt six years ago. To be honest, up to this day, that event still hunts me. But I guess this is the closure that I've been waiting for. At least now Mild and Jumpol are not the only people who said that I did a great job. Hearing it from some total strangers hit differently.

When I arrived home, I immediately took a bath to freshen up. I received a text message from my mom. I immediately called her.
