If I Fall in Love Again A fanfiction (Ashrald)

Chapter 5

Sarah:

Five more days before the concert. I was on vocal rest at home. Minimal talking, and plenty of fluids. I rehearsed my dance number in my head. So much pressure, But I was exctied at the same time. Working with the Concert King was so enjoyable. Sir Martin was really funny, and he taught me many things, like when to drink water after singing, or how to breathe while doing a high note. I felt like I had gained a new friend in showbiz. Someone you can actually trust.

I hoped that the people watching would enjoy. I loved performing. It was my craft. Ever since I was little, It was what I had dreamed of doing. I hoped that my friends would come to watch too. Mark, Christian, my kuyas had already promised. So had Jimmy. I wonder if Gerald will come.

I invited him before I left the other day, but I never got his response.

"Uy, Gerald!"

"Oh, ano Sarah?"

"Punta ka sa Concert ko ha?"

"Hmm...We'll see."

"Anong 'We'll' see'? Punta ka ha."

"Hindi ko alam. Baka may trabaho ako eh, you never know."

"Hmph! Sabi mo, wala kang work that day, baka ayaw mo lang."

"Wow, at talagang naalala mo ah..."

I blushed. "Wala lang, kung ayaw mo di wag."

 He laughed at me.

"hehehe sige, pagisipan ko. Alis na ako, may pictorial ako."

"Sige, bye."

I wonder if he would remember. Goodness, I hope he even had a ticket.

I found myself hoping that he would come.

Gerald:

"Okay Gerald, tapos na tayo. Pack up na."

"Salamat Direk."

I walk back to my dressing room. What a day. What a day what a day. I had a commercial shoot, and two pictorials that day, and now I was off to taping for the movie. The title still hadn't been chosen yet, so they just simply called it the ashrald movie for now. hmm....Ashrald. I like that. It had a nice ring to it. 

Sarah wasn't her today. She was resting at home for her big concert. I was so excited for her concert. It was the first time I was going to attend. All my friends had told me that her concerts were top notch. Anyways, I had already seen her perform in Asap. I didn't need convincing. She seemed like a totally different person on stage. Nothing like the sweet little girl I saw every day.

 How could she have thought that I wasn't coming? I had already had my ticket for months, even before we started working together. I was so excited I wanted to shout.

As I arrived at the taping, I suddenly missed having my leading lady around. Ano ka Gerald, wala lang yan. Nasanay ka lang nakasama nya for 1 month. I took a deep breath and shook up those feelings.

Wala lang yan Gerald, crush lang yan. Ngayon mo lang kasi natrabaho eh...mawawala din yan pagkatapos ng  pelikula. I took another deep breath, and went to go greet Direk.

"Good Evening Direk!"

"Uy, Gerald! Ready ka na ba? Mag shshoot na tayo soon. Wag ka magalala, konti lang ishshoot natin ngayon, so mga 3 hours lang tayo."

Relief. "Sige, Slamat Direk." I smiled.

I went back to my tent to get ready for the shoot.

In the back of my mind, I made a myself a mental note; 4 more days 'till the concert.
