Wildeous Pov.
Mrs.Garcia message to our gc na magkakaroon daw ng book signing this Saturday.I was excited and at the same time nervous.I need to be prepare since matagal-tagal narin ang last book signing ko.
Time flies by today Is the book signing in Unnic publishing house.Papunta na ako don while driving my car,I was bit excited and at the same time nervous.While heading out biglang nagkaroon ng traffic.I was devastated cause I don't wanna be late.
Gumalaw ang linya ng daan dahilan para mawala ang tinik ko sa lalamunan.I park my car at bumungad sakin ang maraming supporters ko.I got surprised to there heart welcome on me.Tuluyan na akong bumaba wearing my plain jogger pants with matching plain polo and white shoes.Rinig ko agad ang tilian nila,may hawak silang bandera na nagpagulat sakin.
"Wild your legs"
"Wild In bed"
"Anakan moko wild!"
Yan lang ang nababasa kong nakasulat.Awkward ko silang nginitian at kumaway.Agad Naman lumapit ang mga guards and they protect me from them.Sa kalayuan I saw a woman wearing a black Cap and a mask,she's wearing a black oversized t-shirt with a sticker of panda.She didn't look at me and just past by.That was the first.
Since hindi pa nagsta-start ang book signing.Napag-isipan kong maglibot-libot mona.I just wanna see the 100 copies of my books na dating naka-display rito.While i was walking in the pile of books someone bump me in.She is the girl walking pass me by earlier.
"Sorry miss"i apologize but she just stared at me in her thin monolid eyes.I don't see any happiness on it,i only see a cold emotionless one.
She just ignore me and walk away.That was literally new.Girls usually frown when they see me but this one is different.
The day at the book signing went well many of my supporters are taking pictures of me.Nakakapagod mang-pumirma but worth naman makita lang silang masaya.I was busy signing when i saw her again.She just ignore and not even look at me,nagulat ako ng umupo ito sa isang sign up table ng writer.I saw her pen name and it was "Seriouseyes" i guess she is a new writer since all of us here in unnic publishing house is know each other.
"Kuya wild?"nabalik ako sa ulirat ng tawagin ako ng reader ko.I just smiled at her at tinuloy ang pag-pirma.
Paminsan-minsan sumusulyap ako sa kanya.I can see the sadnest in her eyes ng walang sumipot na readers sa kanya,not until a girl came in at lumapit sa kanya.Now i see her smile.
She's still wearing her mask.Covering her beautiful smile and face.Not until,she look at me.Napansin niya ata na nakatitig ako sa kanya kaya tumingin siya sakin.We stare each other 15 seconds and i'm the one who cut it.I feel something in my chest somewhat racing on it.Pinagpatuloy ko nalang ang ginagawa ko and didn't bother it.
It's already 8pm at gabi narin.Kukunti nalang ang mga tao so i take the chance para mag-banyo.Nang makalabas ako sa banyo a team on unnic publishing house comfront me.
"Wild,Mrs.Garcia want to see you"ani nito.I just followed her at pumunta sa room were all the publishing author are.
There on the table eating,everyone is gasp when they see me.
"Nakita niyo ba si Akari? Or also known as SeriousEyes?"Tanong nito.Umiling naman sila.
"I guess pumunta siya ng banyo"ani ni Bea isa ring published author.
Umupo na ako and kasabay nito ay may pumasok na babae.She is all in black.And everyone of us are looking at her.
"Guys i want you all to meet Akari Harisson also known as SeriousEyes.She will be the new part of this family"
"Please to meet you all"ani nito.
Mrs.Garcia want her to take off her mask.So she did,tila nagslowmo ang lahat when she take it off.I was stunned when i saw her,i never knew na ganito pala siya kaganda.And that day dina na siya nawala sa isip ko,and i find her interesting.Biglang nag-pop out sakin ang litrato na sinend ng private investigator ko,could it be? Kasi sobrang hawig na hawig sila?
Meizzy suddenly grab her papunta sa living room and there talking about something.Lalapitan kona Sana sila when bea approach me and give me a glass of wine.Tinanggap ko naman ito and I can't believe that it was her.
Akari Pov.
"Anong ginagawa mo dito akari?"di makapaniwalang ani ni Meizzy.Oo nga pala,I never tell her na dadating ako.
"I'm here for a book signing?"kamot ulo kong ani.
"And dimo talaga sinabi sakin na matatanggap ka?"
"Sasabihin ko naman sayo eh,pero nalimutan ko"
Napatapik nalang ito sa noo and frustration akong tinignan."You better explain this to me after this"pagbabanta nito.At umalis.
Napabulwak nalang ako ng hangin at nilibot ang paningin dito.Everything is so unreal.Sa pagmamasid ko biglang lumapit sakin si Wild na may ngiti sa labi,may hawak itong dalawang baso ng wine dahilan para umiwas ako.
"Hi I'm wild"parang gusto kong tumawa dahil sa sinabi nito.
"What I mean is,My name is wildeous"seryoso nitong ani.Dahilan para mapatakip ako sa bibig at malakas na tumawa.
"Di Kasi ganon..."paliwanag nito.
"Ok,I get it...your name is wild"ani ko at biglang nagseryoso.
Dahilan para mapatango ito.He offer me a glass of wine dahilan para kunin ko ito.
"So when did you start writing?"he ask.
"4 years ago"tipid kong ani at di siya binalingan ng tingin.Napatingin si Meizzy sakin dahilan taka ko siyang tinignan.
"Ahm akari can we talk for a sec?"nanlalaking mata na ani ni Meizzy.
"Ahm sure"agad akong hinila ni Meizzy paalis kay wild dahilan para mapabulwak ako ng hangin.
"Ano yun ha?"she ask.
"Eh siya yung lumapit Sakin eh"ani ko.
"Oo na,halika ka nga dito"hinila Niya ako papunta sa couch and every authors ay umupo rin.
Lumapit si mrs.garcia the owner and a founder of Unnic publishing house.
"So hello authors! Thank you sa pagpunta at nagbook-signing rito.And to those new comer author, don't give up writing and keep dreaming.Good evening to you all and have a nice night"nagpalakpakan Naman kami.
After that ay umuwi na kami.Sabay kaming naghintay ni Meizzy ng bus,not until a white car stop in front of us.Bumukas ang bintana ng kotse nito at bumungad si Wild.
"Saan ba kayo? Ihahatid kona kayo"wild smiled pero malamig na titig lang ang ipinukol ko sa kanya.
Ayaw kong malaman niya ang address ko.In fact I was quietly stalking and taking pictures of him.Pag-nalaman Niya ang sekreto ko,I will be doomed.Alam ko Naman na mali ang ginagawa ko,taking pictures of him in an appropriate bussiness without his consent is a crime.Illegal ang ginagawa ko and I know that,but it's part of my work.
"Thank you nalang sir wild but we're fine"pilit ngiti kong ani dito.
Siniko naman ako ni Meizzy "Ano kaba akari choicy kapa ba?! He is Wildeous Israel Zentrous!"bulong ni Meizzy.
"And so?"
"Ano kabang babaita ka?! Marami kayang babae ang gustong makasakay sa kanya-i mean sa kotse niya"sabay kirot nito sa tagiliran ko.
" Oo daw"ngiting ani ni Meizzy dito.Dahilan para mapangiti si wild.
"Then hop in"he smiled at pinagbuksan kami ng pinto.
"Ahm actually wild,kayo nalang! May susundo Kasi sakin"ngiting ani Meizzy dahilan para lakihan ko siya ng mata.
Since when pang may susundo kay Meizzy? Sa pagkakaalam ko di naman sila mayaman at wala naman silang kotse o sasakyan? Meizzy push me paloob sa kotse dahilan para lakihan ko siya ng mata.But she just wink at me.
While driving the car,diko maiwasang di pagpawisan.God,ano ba itong pinasok ko? Nakatingin lang ako sa bintana at wala akong balak tignan siya.Nanlalamig narin ang kamay ko at halos di ako makahinga.
"Ahm akari,mrs.garcia ask me that we should collab"
Dahilan para lumaki ang mata ko.Ano collab?! Eh kasama ko palang siya parang ayaw kona?!
"E-eh k-kasi a-ano b-busy ako"nagkautal-utal kong ani.
"But if you have free time maybe we can do it naman diba"he hold my hand at nginitian ako.
Anak ng?!
"If busy ka talaga then wag nalang"he smiled dahilan para umiwas ako.
Ok,get together akari! Be professional.Bumulwak ako ng hangin at binawi ang kamay ko.
"Dito nalang wild,"
"You sure dito?"he ask.While glancing me.
"Of course I'm sure,"tinigil nito ang kotse dahilan para agad kong binuksan ang pinto.
"Thank you Sir wild"pilit ngiti kong ani.But using my cold eyes and cold tone.
"Welcome"he smiled dahilan para tumalikod ako at inis na maglakad paalis.Nang tuluyan ng nakaalis ang kotse nito ay agad kong tinawagan si boss ko.I want to tell him the truth,that I was writing.
"Good thing narin yun akari para simple mo siyang kunan"ani nito after I tell him what happened earlier,kahit kailan talaga nagmumukha siyang pera...
