One Lost Summer (Brave Series #2)

Chapter 38: Majarlika

Majarlika De Luna

The designer zipped the dress on Majarlika's back. Napangiti siya nang makita ang kabuuang ayos ng damit sa kanyang katawan. Billy, the designer, arrived early in the morning today in Grale's condo unit to make final adjustments para sa Year-end ball na gaganapin na mamayang gabi ng TV Station na kinabibilangan ni Grale.

"It fits perfectly to her," Tasha told the designer quite impressively. She was sitting on the couch holding a magazine on her crossed legs.

"True! Mukha wala na nga akong kailangan pang i-adjust. What about you, iha? Did you like the fit on you? Hindi ba masikip o maluwang?"

She smiled through the mirror, staring back at the designer. "Hindi naman po. Sakto lang sa akin."

"So polite," the designer smiled back. "Are you really sure you don't have plans to be a model? You are so beautiful, iha! Join this industry and naku talaga! Kakabugin mo silang lahat!"

"Hay naku, Billy! I have been wooing her many, many times pero priority ng bata ang pag aaral niya," Tasha told the designer.

She just smiled, still eyeing herself through the mirror at hinayaan ang dalawa na mag usap tungkol sa kanya. She was wearing a glittery silver fitted gown that indeed emphasized her natural curves. It has a slit on the left side exposing half of her bare leg. It has no strap to better show off her prominent collarbones and it has a square neckline. Noong una ay nag suggest si Billy na gawing V ang neckline ng gown para mas lalo pang maging sexy ang kakalabasan nito but Majarlika politely declined the idea. She still wanted to keep everything prim and proper, like how she always wanted it. Hindi niya in-expect na bagay din pala sa kanya ang silver dahil madalas sa mga suot niya ay nahahanay lang sa mga neutral and pastel colors Silver is a bold move but, surprisingly,it suited her very well.

"Sa true? Naku, iha! For sure hindi ka tinitigilan ni Ricky ngayon? That bastard always go for what he wants at walang kiber kung sinong mabangga niya," Billy shook his head.

"Tumigil na ba siya sa pag m-message sayo, Maja?" Tasha asked her.

Tumingin siya sa babae. "The last time he messaged me was last week."

She sighed. "Hindi ka talaga niya titigilan. He definitely saw something in you that he knows will surely sell in the market."

"No doubt! Napakaganda ng batang ito at talagang may kalalagyan dito sa industriya," Billy smiled meaningfully at her in the mirror.

"Hey, what are you all talking about?" Grale strided the living room and when his eyes finally landed on her, his mouth fell open in full amusement. Nagustuhan ni Majrlikas ang reaksyon nito sa damit na suot niya.

"Ako lang 'to, Grale," she gave him a playful smirk.

He chuckled and then walked to her. "You look exquisite, babe," he dropped a kiss on her cheek.

"Gwapo mo rin," Aniya at tinapik ang dibdib nito suot ang isang itim na suit.

"What were you talking about earlier? Before I arrived?" He asked them.

Nagkatingin silang dalawa ni Tasha at sabay na lihim na nahigit ang mga hininga. Napansin din ni Majarlika ang biglang pagka putla ng manager ni Grale at sabay tingin sa hawak na magazine kunyari walang naaalala. Grale is very sensitive when it comes to this matter. Hindi nito na-a-appreciate ang panggugulo sa kanya ni Ricky at kahit makailang beses na niyang sinabi na ayos lamang siya sa pag m-message nito ay hindi ito natutuwa sa inaasal ng sikat na producer at talent manager.

Majarlika knows that Grale's just being overly protective of her again. Kung ito talaga ang masusunod ay hindi ito payag na pumasok siya sa industriyang kinabibilangan nito. Well, wala rin naman siyang balak dahil hindi naman niya kailanman nakita ang sarili sa harap ng camera.
