Destructing The Flame's Deception

Chapter 19

Chapter 19

"Your photoshoot will begin soon, please be prepared." Manager Ann told me.

Tumango ako sa kanya at agad na naghanda para sa photoshoot namin ni Andre— ang siyang makaka-pareha ko para sa teleseryeng ito. Bukas na kasi ipapalabas ang teaser photo para sa show.

Medyo nagkakausap naman kami ni Andre. Nahihiya pa ako sa kanya dahil kakakilala pa lang namin sa isa't isa. Medyo nag-aadjust pa din ako dahil beginner pa lang naman ako sa industriyang ito, tapos ay isang veteran actor na agad ang makaka-pareha ko. Pasan pasan ko tuloy ang pressure sa buong katawan ko.

This shoot is a little bit sweet since the genre of our show is romance and comedy. Nagsimula na ang shoot. I was just wearing a white cute dress that was above my knee. Andre was wearing a simple shirt and a black pants.

"A little bit closer…" the photographer told us.

Dahan dahan akong lumapit kay Andre. I swallowed a little bit. Nakahawak siya sa beywang ko habang sobrang lapit namin sa isa't isa. Nakahawak naman ako sa balikat niya, acting like we're a real couple.

"And perfect! Very good! I love the chemistry between them." the director told us.

Bago pa man matapos ang photoshoot, napatingin ako sa hindi kalayuan at nakita roon si Silas na mukhang kanina pa pinapanood. Hala! Anong ginagawa niya rito? Hindi ko alam na pinapanood niya pala ako. Bigla tuloy akong nahiya sa hindi malamang kadahilanan.

After a couple of shoots, it has ended now. Nagpasalamat lang kami sa mga producer at pagkatapos ay pumasok na sa room ko para makapag-palit na.

"You see that, Ocean? The people already see the chemistry between the two of you. And now, all you have to do is to go with the flow, okay? Paniguradong bibilis ang pagsikat mo." Manager Ann told me.

Tipid lang akong tumango sa kanya. After I changed my clothes, agad na akong bumalik sa basement para puntahan si Silas. I saw him standing in front his car, he was playing with his toes while waiting for me.

I sighed. "Did I make you wait for too long?"

Napalingon siya sa akin at agad na umiling.

"Gosh. Finally, the photoshoot ended. Hindi ko kinaya. It was damn awkward." mahina akong natawa habang kinekwento iyon sa kanya.

He just chuckled. "But you both looked good together,"

"Talaga? Many people told me that we really have such great chemistry." Hindi ko alam na pati pala si Silas ay napansin iyon.

"Oo, bagay na bagay nga kayo." I don't know but I suddenly hear a bitterness from his voice.

"Anyways, why did you come inside during our photoshoot? Mabuti at hindi sila nagtaka kung sino ka?" 

"I came inside to watch you, why? Is it wrong?" 

Umiling ako. "I was just shocked to see you there,"

"Did you have fun there?"

I shrugged. "No, it was awkward. But it's successful, so I guess it's fun?"

"It's nice to see you enjoying it," He smiled.

"Oceana!"

Napalingon ako sa likod nang makarinig ng boses. It was Andre. Nagulat ako na papalapit na siya sa'kin kaya agad akong umalis sa tabi ni Silas. I even heard Silas sighed but I didn't mind him.

Lumapit ako kay Andre habang nakangiti.

"What are you doing here? Ihahatid na kita," he offered.

"Ay hindi, huwag na. May maghahatid na sa akin."
