CHAPTER 16

"What?!"

Napatakip ako ng mga tainga ko when we heard that shout of Kaid. It's so loud that a table might even move like there's an earthquake! "Can you please lower your voice, Kaid?" I asked him, starting to remove that's covering my ears.

"Just what?! Anong tatanggapin ni Dariantha ang project, e, tinanggihan na niya iyon?! At anong si Ackley ang magiging leading man niya?! I am his love team! Ako dapat 'yon at hindi si Ackley!" he exclaimed, looking furious. 

"Oh, please, can you calm down first, Kaiden?" Allairy told him.

"Paano ako ka-kalma pagakatapos kong marinig ang sinabi mo?!" It's like a monster was controlling him right now. As in, sobrang galit talaga siya!

And we don't have an idea why. If it's because I accepted it o kung dahil ba si Ackley ang magiging leading man ko instead of him. Uh, here comes his monster side that you don't wanna mess up again.

"Just calm down first . We will explain it pagkatapos mong kumalma," my manager said again. And that time, kumalma na rin finally si Kaid. Bumalik ulit 'yung side niyang we often see, and his monster side faded.

"Go on. Paki-explain sa akin, please, kasi hindi ko talaga maintindihan." My manager signed me to just close my mouth at siya na lang ang mage-explain, so I obeyed her

"Yesterday, Ackley and Dariantha talked. Ackley told Dariantha that he wants her to be his leading woman, and the latter told me about it. I'm telling you, Kaiden, pinag-isipan naming mabuti ang tungkol doon before we took actions. At hindi na namin mababawi 'yon if ever because we already signed a contract. I hope you understand, Kaiden."

"Hindi ko kailanman maiintindihan 'yan, Allairy." His tone was still angry, but thank God, he's being calm now.

Allairy was about to talk again nang pigilan ko siya. "Kaid," I called him, so tumingin siya sa akin. "I know that you're kinda felt betrayed right now kasi hindi muna namin sinabi sa'yo. I-dagdag mo pa that you won't be my leading man for this. But I'm just doing this to try myself to act without you as my company. Puwede ka ring tumanggap ng ibang projects withput me, and I will truly understand it."

He looked at me before he sighed. "Fine. Basta 'wag kang magaglit if may sasabihin ako sa'yo right now, ha? At saka, 'wag ka na ring magalit sa manager mo." He then smiled.

Kumunot naman ang noo ko. "What are you talking about, Kaid? Anong 'wag magalit sa'yo at kay Allairy?"

"Triny lang naman kita kung anong magiging reaction mo kapag nag-burst out ako ng ganoon. Yup, alam ko na that tinanggap mo ulit ang project dahil sinabi sa'yo ni Ackley. And guess what? Ang manager mo lang naman ang nagsabi sa akin. He consulted me kung payag ako, at alam kong hindi kita puwedeng kontrolin, kaya sinabi kong bahala kayo sa buhay niyo."

Napatingin ako kay Allairy and she smiled, not a genuine one, though. "Sorry if I didn't say it to you, Dariantha. Naki-sakay lang naamn ako sa trip ni Kaiden because he told me so. I'm really sorry, I hope you understand it, and I do hope that you understand na medyo may kalawang na ang utak ng love team mo."

Nagulat ako because of it. No, not because of what they just said. It's because of the last sentence na sinabi ni Allairy. Hindi siya nagsasalita ng ganyan or nagbibiro ng ganyan after what happened between her and her sister. Parang nagbabalik siya to her true herself. 

The jolly, talkative, and kinda funny Allairy Relish. 

"Bakit parang hindi ka man lang nagulat, Dariantha? Wait, don't tell me..." Kaid looked at Allairy. "Sinabi mo sa kaniya, ano, Allairy? At anong kinakalawang na ang utak ko? Baka sa'yo 'yun." She winced and just ignored him. "So, ano na, Dariantha? Sinabi ba sa'yo ng manager mo?"
