Even After Everything (After #1) (COMPLETED)

08: Marco

Only the three of us partake at breakfast today.

I don't know why... Hindi ba maganda ang tulog nila? I had a good sleep last night para may energy ako ngayong second day namin. Yesterday was a blast; today we have to double the takes because hindi na namin puwedeng habulin ang partner ni Keith kapag may hindi maayos na shot.

Seb was looking at me like a puppy while I drank my water. The food was great and I don't think I should worry about going to the bathroom in between takes.

"Itong song lang ba ang gagawan natin ng MV, Keith?" I asked him since I don't want to entertain the kid beside him.

He looks at me perplexed. "Huh?"

Inulit ko ang tanong. "Uh, yes. Since marami tayong content na ilalabas, those are enough for us to get through."

"Nice." sambit ko at pinunasan na ang labi. "I can't wait for you guys. See you na lang sa labas mamaya."

Tumayo na ako at umalis sa kuwarto. Kanina pa tahimik ang buong kuwarto at hindi ko mahinuha kung bakit parang namatayan sila. Aren't they enjoying the shoot? Because I am enjoying it.

I was about to click the elevator button but someone nudged my arm. "Marco, sunod ka sa akin."

It's Norwyn. And he looks incensed. "Why?"

"Sumunod ka na lang."

Humarap ako sa kaniya at nagkibit-balikat. "Seriously, what's wrong with you all? Those two... are awfully silent. Tapos parang galit ka na kaagad kahit umaga pa lang. Did I fuck something up during the shoot?"

"No. This is because of your situation with Bill." and he didn't have to say anything but started walking away. Wala akong balak sundin siya but the way he left an air of authority...

I found myself with Norwyn and... Bill at the back garden. The scenery here is... immaculate. There's also a small playground and a pavilion in the middle of it. So this is the view I saw last night...

Nasa loob ng pavilion ang dalawa at hindi muna ako sumunod sa kanila. I cherish my time in between the flowers and grass and even pluck some to play between my fingers. "Marco, come here."

I try to take in their faces from here but... God. Is my vision starting to blur? I can only see Norwyn's usual scrunching face. But with Bill...

"Sabay sana tayo na bumaba." I began when I stepped inside the place. "But you're not ar—"

"Shut up." he retorted back.

Napatalon ako kaunti. Now that we're facing each other, I can now see how angry he looks, too. I didn't even know a person can be like a tomato from seething in anger. Lumapit si Norwyn at pumagitna sa amin.

"Pardon?"

"Hindi ito ang dahilan bakit ko kayo pinagkitang dalawa." I raised my brow at him.

"What did I do?"

"See? See how right I was? He'll deny he's done nothing!" sabay turo nito sa akin.

I try to keep myself calm because I literally have no idea what's happening and why he is so damn angry at me. Wala naman akong ginawa?

"Bill, kumalma ka nga."

"If you're not gonna tell me why I'm here, nasasayang ang oras ko at magsisi—"

"You fucki—"

I managed to take a few steps back when Bill planned to tackle me. Though Norwyn was strong enough to stop him, mas lalo lang akong naguluhan dahil ano bang pinuputok ng butchi nito?! "Masama ba gising mo, ha? Why are you so angry for no reason?!"
