[Chapter 12]

"Chlouie!" A huge smile was plastered on Direk Bibs face as soon as he saw me entering his studio. I wave a hand before continued walking towards him.

"I can't believe this! We must celebrate it!" He exclaimed. I chuckle and shook my head.

"Saka na tayo mag celebrate Direk kapag successful ang movie."

"I know it's going to be successful! Come on!" Tumalikod siya sakin at hinarap ang kanyang mga kasama. Malakas siyang pumalakpak para makuha ang atensyon ng mga ito.

"I'll order some foods! Take a break muna!" He said. Hindi ko naman napigilang mapailing sa kanya. Seems like he was really happy to have me on his movie.

Habang hinihintay ang pagkain na inorder niya para sa lahat. Nagkaron kami ng pag uusap ni Direk tungkol sa magiging movie. He said i didn't need to go in their audition dahil ako na raw ang gaganap na bida slash kontrabida. Ang kailangan nalang mag undergo ng audition ay ang magiging partner ko at isa pang kontrabida.

He also told me everything about the movie. The plot, scenes and lines. He gave me a copy of the script. The movie was about two woman fighting over a man and wealth.

Direk said there's no kissing scene between the me and the leading man. Alam kasi nito na hindi ako pupwede sa mga explicit scenes.

"We will start the shoot next week. Is that okay for you?" He asked. Tumango naman ako dito.

"Great! I still can't believe na nandito kana ulit. The Queen finally came back!" Natawa ako rito at nagpasalamat.

Matapos rin ng meeting ay nagpaalam na rin akong umuwi. I met the leading man and the other cast. May nag iisang kulang sa mga cast pero ang sabi ni Direk ay mamimeet ko rin naman ito sa mismong araw ng shoot.

"Mommy!" Hindi pa man bumubukas ang gate ay narinig ko na ang sigaw ni Dariel mula sa loob ng malaking bahay.

Bumukas ang gate at bumungad sa akin si Mama na akay akay si Dariel. Mabilis na bumitaw sa kanya ang bata nang makita ako, he immediately encircled his arms in my waist.

"Thank you Ma—" i stopped when she pierced her gaze at me.

"I heard you were planning to go back in the industry."

"Opo Ma."

"Why? Hindi ba sapat ang ipinapakain sayo ng anak ko para muli kang bumalik sa pag arte?" Lumunok ako bago muling nagsalita.

"Hindi naman po sa ganon. I just want to take the chance—"

"Chance to what? Fooled my son again? You wanted freedom to cheat behind his back again?" Nanlaki ang mga mata ko at palihim na tinakpan ang tainga ni Dariel.

"Ma naman. Dariel is here."

"What? Dapat nga ay maaga palang malaman na niya ang ginawa mo sa Ama niya. How his mother cheated on his father!" Her voice was starting to rise. Bumuntong hininga ako, trying to keep myself calm.

I respect her just like how I respect my own mother. But I won't let her ruin my son's innocence. Hindi ko sila hahayaang pangunahan ako sa pagpapaintindi sa anak ko ng mga bagay na paniguradong maguguluhan siya.
