Her Greatest Pain (GSS #4 ONGOING)

Chapter 6

Kissed

"Do you still need to go at the studio? You can postpone that, Ellaina. You can't be sure about your manager. He's the best friend of Gavy, and now Gavy's hiding from what he did to you. Ang babaw naman kasi if lalaki lang pala ang problema ng lahat ng 'to. Yes, he's gay may pusong babae at gusto ay lalaki, but the problem here, why did he wanted to kill you? Sana, he confront you na lang 'di ba? Gosh,  pag nahanap talaga siya, sana mabulok na siya sa kulungan!" Ara stated frustratedly on the other line.

I sighed. She's right and the fuck that he almost killed me. Hindi ko rin siya mapapatawad dahil do'n. Mabait ako sa mabait, pero siya akala ko mabait at mapagkakatiwalaan so I trust him, but the issues here, he almost killed me and I don't know his real problem about me. And I can't stop filing a case for him. Pamilya ko na ang gumagawa no'n, kahit na sinasabi ko that I can handle my problem. Pero katwiran naman nina Papa at ng dalawa kong Kuya, sila na ang maghahandle ng kaso.

"Don't worry, JD will come with me. Kakausapin din si Algeda. And the releasing of magazine is near, I can't postpone this ako ang main cover lead sa magazine na 'yon. I can't cancel that because of this issues."

I heard her sighed. "Yes, you can't cancel. But please be careful."

I smiled weakly at her, even though she doesn't see me. "Of course, this is the last one on my schedule. Yung ibang sinabi ni Algeda I cancelled them, especially papa told me to help the company. Mas secure roon at may trabaho naman talaga ako roon na naiwan. Kaya siguro, next time ko na lang tatanggapin yung ibang alok."

May sinabi pa ito at doon natapos ang usapan namin. Today is monday, I'm going at the studio today for my pictorial. Tago naman ang sugat ko at ang ibang pasa na hindi pa gaano magaling ay matatapalan naman iyon ng make-up. I just can't postpone or cancel this kind of pictorial. Matagal nang inaasahan na ako ang main cover. Mabilis lang naman iyon and I want to talk to Algeda also. Pinaghahanap pa rin ang kaibigan niya.

Lumabas na 'ko sa kwarto, nakita si JD na nasa sala at nasa tapat pa rin ng kaniyang laptop. He's busy but still he can't leave me here. Naramdaman yata ako nito kaya bumaling siya sa akin.

"Are you ready?" he asked, as he looked on his wrist watch.

11 pa lang naman ng umaga. I stayed at the house yesterday. Dahil linggo kahapon habang si JD naman ay nasa trabaho o umuwi yata sa bahay niya. He fetched me earlier and bring me home. Sinabi ko na ngayon ang pictorial at hindi naman niya ako pinagbawalan dahil trabaho ko naman ito.

"Yup, are you busy?" I asked, looking on his laptop.

May iniencode na naman siya at hindi ko alam kung para saan 'yon, pero alam kong sa trabaho 'yon.

"No, I'm done. I'm just waiting for you to finish so we can leave now," he said, casually and stand up.

I nodded. "Let's go."

He's wearing his usual outfit. Black shirt and black pants and rubber shoes. Hindi halatang body guard ko siya ngayon. I know it's so corny to call him body guard, but what can I call him? Friend ko, kakilala ko or boyfriend, pero bahala na lang din sila mag assume.

While me, I'm just wearing a dress, asymmetrical plain light blue dress above the knee and beige stilettos. Hindi na rin naman ako nag ayos pa nang sobrang tagal, dahil aayusin din naman ako roon pagkarating ko. I have my own make up artist and personal assistant. Doon ko na sila pina diretso.

Dahil hindi pa ayos ang kotse ko ay sa kotse ako ni JD sumakay. May dalawang body guard na kasama namin at sa isang kotseng itim may apat ding body guard na nakasunod sa amin.

"I think this is OA, JD. Okay lang naman na isa o dalawa lang na guard, bakit may nakasunod pa?" I couldn't help myself but to say my opinion.

"This is my order, Ell. Hindi naman sila papasok sa studio," nakatutok ang mata sa kalsada habang nagsasalita.
