They were right when they say that time pass by so fast when you're loving the moment. I somehow can't believe that it's Christmas season again.
"It's a wrap. Congrats, guys! Thank you for your hard work. I hope we make it and get at least runner place in February," kuya Lylo said. He's the director of this short movie.
We thanked him then I thanked kuya Robert. Siya 'yung scriptwriter. Ang galing nga kasi isa siyang creative writing student na taga SLIU pero kasama namin siya dito.
"B&A will produce a music video for the Star Music Competition, ah?"
"Really? Who's the artist?"
"No idea," the girl laughed.
I got my things then bade my goodbye to all of them. Nagpaalam na rin ako sa mga seniors and they even asked me kung bakit hindi ako sasabay sa kanila. One of my seniors joked about my sundo.
I shook my head a little bit with the thought that all of them knows Migo already. Every shoot, Miguel was surprisingly always present. He always made sure to drive me to the location then pick me up even though sinabi kong hindi naman niya dapat gawin 'yon.
Ang pasaway, e. Hindi marunong makinig sa akin.
"Good job, Deanna! Tapos na kayo! Ang galing mo talaga..." naka ngiting bati niya sa akin nang makalapit ako sa kaniya. Kinuha niya ang mga gamit ko at nilagay niya 'yon sa backseat pagkatapos ay pinag buksan ako ng pinto.
I figured that he likes doing this so I let him be.
"Marami kami doon at mas marami silang ginawa kesa sa akin so bakit ako pini-praise mo?"
"Bakit? Okay. Congrats sa kanila. I hope their lovers praise them too."
Kumunot ang noo ko sa sagot niya.
"Seat belt, Deen, please.."
"Says by someone who's not even my lover," sagot ko sa kaniya habang nag s-seat belt. He looked at me for a few good seconds as if he's a rat caught in act, ruining someone else's things.
He smiled then pouted.
"Okay.."
"My flight is on tuesday, 22."
"I know.." naka ngusong sagot niya.
I nodded. "Where do we eat?" I saw how his eyes glistened from smiling with my question.. that made me smile too. He looked at me bago binalik ang atensyon sa daan.
"You're gutom na? Thank God I didn't have to worry about you not wanting to eat dinner again," he beamed. "Pinagod ka ba nila sa set?" I shook my head. "Really? Are you sure?" he asked in a quite singing tone.
"How's your day?" I asked, para maiba ang topic. Masaya naman sa set pero nakakapagod din talaga ang energy. Hindi pa magka sundo si Direct at 'yung ibang seniors ko. Buti na lang si kuya Robert tahimik lang sa gilid.
Sumilay ang ngiti sa mga labi niya ulit. "Grabe.. hindi mo pa ako boyfriend niyan, ha."
"Anong connect?"
"'Di ba 'yung mga in a relationship at mga married couples 'yan tinatanong sa isa't isa after a long tiring day?"
"Ganon ba?"
"Ganon nga," naka ngiting sabi niya while nodding a little. Gosh.. he looks really cute.
"Okay. Hindi na ako magtatanong sa 'yo kahit kelan." Nakita kong nawala ang ngiti sa muka niya at sumimangot.
"Ito naman si Deanna... Ang sungit sungit. Gutom ko lang," bulong niya but it was loud enough for me to hear it.
We ate in a samgyupsal near our place. Migo was the one who's cooking while I talk. I told him about my itineraries and how excited I am to visit Canada! Kung pwede lang ako dumaan muna ng New York bago umuwi ng Pilipinas gagawin ko, e. Kaso lang wala akong US Visa.
