Ustulation (Frisson Series 1)

CHAPTER 04

Model

Mariyah was posing fiercely in the front of the flashing cameras. Tila nag lalaro lang s'ya sa ginagawa niya. May malaking electricfan na nagiging dahilan kung bakit para liparin ang mahaba niyang kulay dark brown na buhok.

She was in photoshoot. She's a famous and high-paid model. Hindi s'ya basta-basta makukuha ng kahit ano'ng kompanya. Maarte rin s'ya sa pag tanggap ng mga project.

"You was really born to be in this field, huh," puri sa kaniya ng assign photographer habang inaayos ang make up niya. She smiled with him.

"I'm not Mariyah Alessandra Esquivel if I'm not in this field."

Amusement written on the photographer's face. Mariyah is so damn confident with her beauty. Wala naman talagang dapat ikahiya sa mukha niya dahil maihahalintulad sa Diyosa ang mukha nito.

"I like you,"

She smiled at him. The eyes of this photographer are screaming how he likes her. Hindi na nagulat si Mariyah dito. Walang kagulat-gulat kung magustuhan s'ya ng mga tao.

"Gusto ako ng lahat," aniya bago bumalik sa trabaho. She smiled confidently and did her poses effortless.

"There! Ang ganda mo, perfect!" Devon fixed her client hair falling on her shoulder.

"Maganda na ba ako?" Malawak na ngumiti di Devon at tumango.

His client are getting married and she took him as her make up artist. Hindi s'ya gaano sanay na mag make up sa ikakasal since karamihan sa mga naging client niya ay model at artista.

"You know what, Devon. I really admired Mariyah Alessandra. I heard her sister are your best friend. Have you work with her?"

Tumingin saglit si Devon sa babae. Hindi niya alam kung ano ang isasagot. Namake up-an niya na ito noong nasa high school sila pero simula noong pumasok si Mariyah sa Modeling, hindi niya pa nahahawakan ang mukha nito.

"I haven't."

"Aww. Sayang naman. Hindi daw nagustuhan ni Mariyah Alessandra ang make up artist niya ngayon. Alam mo naman 'yon, mabilis mag palit ng make up artist."

Hindi nag salita si Devon. Her client is into their field. Nakakatrabaho rin nito noon si Mariyah.

"I don't think, mag kakatrabaho kami." Niligpit niya ang mga make up.

He remembered how many times Mariel recommended him for Mariyah's make up artist pero ni Isa wala s'yang nakuhang feed back. Siguro ayaw talaga s'ya nito makatrabaho.

He suddenly remembered how Mariyah kissed him. Hindi man lang ito nag sorry or let just say, mukha hindi pa ito nag sisi sa ginawa niya.

Matunog s'yang bumuntong hininga. Kilala s'ya sa field na napili, matunog ang pangalan niya pero mas mataas si Mariyah kumpara sa kaniya.

Malayo na ang nararating nito kahit bata pa lamang. Marami na itong natanggap na offer mula sa ibang banda sabi ng katapid niya pero iilan lang ang tinanggap nito.

Mapili ang dalaga pag dating sa mga project na kukuhain. She's really a high-paid super model. Even big company can't get her. She's the one who decide whose to work with.

Devon got home late because of his works. Tahimik na ang bahay at mukhang tulog na ang lahat. Ginabi na s'ya dahil sa trabaho. Hindi lang isang kliyente ang pinuntahan niya. Pwede naman s'yang tumanggi but it's his friend the one who requested.

Dumaretso agad s'ya sa kusina. He was started when he saw a woman figure standing in front of fridge. He held his chest because of shock.

"Ginagabi ka sa trabaho," umayos ng tayo si Devon ng mag salita si Mariyah.

She seems unbothered with his presence. What the hell? Bakit hindi big deal dito ang halik na ginawa niya? She even talk to her casually.

"Just work," he answered acting cool, but deep inside. He was nervous as hell.
