Chapter 8

"Bigla kasi akong tinawagan ni Nanay. Ayun, si Annie na-opsital na naman, alam mo na kung bakit. Ewan ko ba sa babaeng yun. Nakakaloka,"kwento ni Bonnie. Ilang araw din siyang walang paramdam, ngayong araw nasa studio siya. We are actually going to shoot for a new trend, wala na sana akong balak sumabay pa dun. This week has already been exhausting. Gusto ko muna sana magpahinga but I was challenge by followers so I'm doing it Akala ko, it's impossible for Bonnie to be part of this. Ni tumawag man lang di niya ginawa. But I'm happy he's here na.

"Maybe you should take her to a psychiatrist. Hindi ba parang palala ng palala ang kondisyon niya." Annie is his twin sister. Something happened to her months ago. After that she became very depressed and suicidal. And I can't judge her for that. Mental health is very important to me too.

"Naku, di ko na kakayanin noh? Alam mo namang may kapatid din akong isa pang sinto-sinto." I hushed him when he called her brother that.

"Ikaw talaga. Kapatid mo yung mga yun." He rolled his eyes.

"Charot," bawi naman niya pagkatapos. I know Bonnie loves his family. Kaya nga nagsusumikap yan eh. And eventhough he has a career of his own, sumasama din siya sa akin for a little bit of extra. Lahat ginagawa niya to provide for them, especially that his mom also was mild stroke, buti na lang nakarecover din naman ito kaagad. At ito din talaga ang nag-aalaga sa dalawang anak nito who can't take care of themselves at the moment. Naawa ako sa kanila to be honest. I wish I can do something for them.

"If you need anything, just tell me, Bonnie."

"Ano ka ba?" He smiled. "Kayang-kaya ko to noh. Ako pa." he said coonfidently. At tumalikod na siya para mamili sa ilang nirentahan niyang damit na ipapasuot i=niya sa akin. He gor a lot of comments with those dresses. Habang mini-make-up-an ko naman ang sarili ko. Tinutulungan din ako ng dalawa pang make up artist ko na nandito. Mayamaya pa ay dumating na rin sina Josh at Kaye na siya namang naka-assign sa camera and all those other stuff.

At nagsimula na kami.

"Seryoso ka ba talaga sa ginagawa mo ngayon, Tricia?" Napatingin ako kay Bonnie when he asked me that. "Viral na naman kayong dalawa."Lumabas na kasi yung advertisement ngayong araw lang din. Noah posted his picture with Zoey that day we had dinner together at hinatid niya kami. Ilang araw din kaming magkasama ni Noah but of course para sa trabaho lang din naman talaga. We had a couple of brands we endorse together. Actually, mamaya may meeting kami with this executive na hindi naman pinangalanan ni Phoebe for some reasons. Maybe sobrang malaking tao lang. Basta sabi lang niya, isang construction firm daw ito which had multiple of exclusive villages around Manila. Hndi naman ako sumagot. I don't know. But nangyayari na eh, so ano pang magagawa ko? "Ano ba kasing plano yang pumasok sa isip mo ha?"

Initially, nasabi ko na to, I planned on just give Noah the taste of his medicine, with something na di ko rin naman talaga masyadong napag-isipan. I don't even have a plan in my head. Pero ngayon, it's all for the opportunity coming na nga lang.

"I was getting paid. Lahat naman siguro tayo di sasayangin yung ganto." I've been in the industry for years at ito din talaga yung moment for me where everything i just great. I'm just grabbing everything before it lasts.

Tumango naman si Bonnie. "Ingat ka lang ha. Alam mo na. The more you get famous, the more these people are going to dig up about your past. Paano pag nalaman din nila yung totoo?"

Napatigil ako bigla. Napaisip pero ngumiti lang ako sa kanya matapos lang ang ilang saglit. "I don't think they will know."

"And Noah?"

"Then it will be his payment sa ginawa niya sa akin. Which he deservs."

"If that's gonna hurt him though. Sa totoo lang, duda rin ako diyan bakit parang gusto niya bigla bumawi kay Zoey. Ingat ka din sa kanya. Wag ka nawa mahulog ulit sa bitag ng kakisigan at kagwapuhan niya."
