Aliyah's P.O.V.
"Ma'am, I'm sorry, but I'm gonna have to ask you to leave."
"Excuse me?"
Tinaasan ko ng kilay ang isa sa mga staff members.
"I am here to visit my husband. Who are you to make me leave?"
Hindi siya nagsalita pero halatang natetense na siya.
That's right. I'm the Queen.
Manginig ka pa, peasant.
As I'm staring down this spineless man, narinig ko ang boses ng hubby ko.
"Aliyah, what are you doing here?"
His voice was cold at ramdam na ramdam ko ang galit sa mga mata pa lang niya.
In an instant, I smile cheerfully.
"Hi, love!" Niyakap ko siya ng mahigpit and I felt him stiffen up.
It hurt pero hindi ko na tinuonan ng pansin.
I just missed him so much.
Besides...
He can't push me away with all these eyes watching us.
Kahit na nandito si Myrah bitch, he can't ruin his perfect reputation. Lalo na ngayon na bago pa siya dito. He hasn't earned enough trust and respect yet.
That's the reason why he hasn't said a word about us.
Madali lang mawala lahat ng pinaghirapan ng isang tao kapag kumalat ang isang eskandalo.
I catch that bitch's gaze again and smile sweetly.
Long time no see, slut.
She has her boyfriend with her...oh how fun.
I pull away from Kieth and give him a small peck on the cheek.
"I came to visit you! I wanted to show my support for you and your company! This is you first big project after all." Sabi ko with as much volume as I could.
Makinig ka Myrah.
I turn my attention to everyone on set.
"That's why I came with a lot of gifts and food for everyone!" I smile and on cue, Ichi's men come in with a truck load of goods.
May pagkain na naiset-up, refreshments and gift packs with at least $100 each inside.
It's safe to say that the staff were more than ecstatic.
They cheered and said their thanks.
Lahat sila makikita mong kating-kati nang makuha ang mga ipinamimigay ko.
Kawawa naman sila.
"Oh my! If it isn't Mrs. Rodriguez!" The director exclaims while making his way to where I was.
Then he bowed to greet me formally.
As if meeting some old friend, I return with an excited grin and bowed, "Hi! It's so nice to finally meet you! I'm a huge fan of your films!"
He gushed at my statement.
"Oh thank you so much! It's an honour!" Sabi niya habang nakangiti na parang bata.
"Aliyah." I heard Kieth's cold voice call out.
Pero binalewala ko lang.
For a moment, tumingin ako sa kung saan nakatayo si Myrah and I see her still staring at me.
I'm not done here.
"I'm so sorry for barging in like this, I just really wanted to surprise my husband. I hope I didn't cause too much trouble." Mala inosente kong sabi sa director.
"Oh no! Not at all Mrs. Rodriguez! You're always welcome here. Sir Khite is so lucky to have such a beautiful and caring wife!" He smiled.
Of course.
Natural lang na gusto mong maka-good shot sa asawa ng boss mo.
But I am very flattered.
"Oh not at all..." I fake being flustered and giggle.
I didn't know he'd do exactly what Ichi told me.
Bakla siya eh, baka nakama na 'to ni Ichi.
Pff.
Ew.
Once again, the director bowed, "Thank you for visiting us ma'am."
And I bow in return, "And thank you for letting me."
We both smile at each other.
"Aliyah."
Kieth's second call.
This time, he sounded a little bit more agitated.
Yes, babe. I know gusto mo ng attention ko pero hindi pa ako tapos eh.
Don't worry though.
When I'm done, you'll chase me all over.
A small grin formed on my lips and I look over to the actors.
I see Myrah sitting on a chair, reading her script, without a care in the world.
Little miss goody goody thinks she's all that huh?
How cute.
With an air of confidence around me, I take one of my gift packs and walk towards her.
I can't be a good supporter if I don't greet the lead actress.
"Hello, Miss Mira." Sabi ko habang pinaparinig ang mga tao sa set.
I see her heave a sigh.
Binaba niya ang script and stood up to face me.
"Hello, Mrs. Rodriguez."
She looked so calm.
Too calm.
From the corner of my eye, I see her boyfriend enter the room with a bottle of water.
Napangiti ako.
"I see you're doing well today." Sabi ko, this time, I whispered it so that only she could hear me.
"Better than ever." She replied shortly.
"So I see. Did you like the attention he was giving you while I was gone?"
I smiled in spite as I handed her the gift pack and she politely accepts it.
"Aliyah, ayoko ng gulo." She flat out said with a firm tone.
Sure.
Kung ayaw mo ng gulo, edi sana hindi ka na nagpakita ulit.
Masaya na sana kami ni Kieth eh!
Sumingit ka pa!
I hold back my anger and reply, "Sinabi ko ba na gusto mo?"
Hindi ko siya binigyan ng panahon para magsalita at ngumiti ulit.
"Anyways, how was the little gift I sent you?"
She looked confused.
Amused, I leaned in for a friendly beso and whispered to her.
"I heard it made... quite a smashing impression."
"Aliyah!"
Kieth called out once again and this time, he pulled me away from that bitch.
Tiningnan ko ang mukha ni Myrah and I could see the blood drain from her face.
I had to stop myself from laughing.
Oh honey, I'm just getting started.
And before I knew it, Kieth was dragging me out of the set, leaving everyone stunned.
