Napatigil ako sa pagwawalis sa garden nang makarinig ako nang boses na palapit sa puwesto namin ni Angie. Napatigil din si Angie at napalingon din sa nagsasalita. Nakita naming si Senyora at yong kaibigan ni Giu yong nabuhusan nang ang nag-uusap.

"Yes Senyora, I'm a model, I'm planning to enter showbusiness," rinig kong sabi ni Holly. Nakita ko agad na nakaupo na sila sa mesa at may tsaa sa harap nila. I saw the small smile from Senyora's lips but her eyes doesn't tell the same. Or ako lang siguro iyon. Probably, Holly is too numb to notice Senyora's stare at her.

"I'm planning to enter showbiz cause I want to be famous," Napataas ang kilay nang Senyora nang marinig ang sinabi ni Holly. Yon lang ang plano niya? Para maging sikat? Popularity sucks.

"You don't want to enter the world of politics?" senyora asked.

"Actually Senyora, we've been thinking of this. When I became a famous star, I can use my fame for getting votes for my father. I know that he's planning to run a senatorial candidacy."

Binaba kaagad nang Senyora ang inimnan niyang tsaa. Her nails are color red that complimented to her dress today, it looks good in holding her tea cup. She looks classic but elegant. She looks like a queen in her days.

"You know Holly, showbiz is for lazy people. They are just a walking face. They're cared about their beauty not their dignity. So if I were you, dream high. Showbusiness is for the low standard people." My mouth went open. She's insulting her in a very nice way. I saw how Holly's expression changes.

"Y-yes Senyora," hilaw na ngumise si Holly. Senyora seems so oblivious. Pagkaraan nang ilang segundo ay tumayo ito.

"I'm gonna leave you for a while. Giu is coming."

"Yes Senyora," natatarantang tumayo si Holly nang makitang papalapit si Señorito. Lumayo kaagad ako para di ako makita nang señorito.

His words back then are lingering in my mind but I erased it. Baka namali lang ako nang rinig or whatsoever. Naglakad kaagad ako papumta sa likod bahay kung saan nandon ang tambayan namin ni Angie.

I was humming around when I heard a loud splash. Nakita ko agad na lumalangoy señorito, pabalik-balik ang langoy niya at para bang galit siya kaya sa tubig niya ibinubunton ang galit niya. He's like a ruthless wave, and he's very hard to constrain.

Nanatili lang akong nakatingin sa kanya. Well, di naman niya ako kita kasi may bush na nakapagitan sa amin. So obviously, para lang akong naninilip dito. Yuck. Agad akong lumayo at aalis na sana nang marinig ko ang boses nang senyora.

"I don't like that girl Giu," Kahit di pa man niya sabihin, I know that she's pertaining to Holly.

"She doesn't have a class. Look at the way she dress? Too indecent. She wants to enter showbiz for popularity? God, she wasn't even beautiful. I'm good to her cause her father is the mayor of this town but look at her. She only thinks about her dresses, " napaamang ako sa narinig. So? Pinaplastik lang nang senyora si Holly.

"Stop backstabbing her ma. Pinahiya mo na nga iniinsulto mo pa," I heard señorito's voice. Kahit di man aminin ay nakukuryoso ako sa mga pinag-uusapan nila. I hate eavesdropping but now I'm doing it.

"I know what they want son. They want to have a fix marriage. So that when Thomas will run as a senator he will win. Cause he knows how are we popular in Manila."

"What did they think of me? An idiot?" senyora hissed then walk away.

Napako naman ako sa kinatatayuan ko. Inalok nang kasal ni Holly si señorito? Para pag tatakbo ang papa niya ay siguradong mananalo dahil masyadong kilala ang mga Buena Luna sa Maynila. Kahit pa nga ang ibang mayayamang angkan dito sa isla ay popular din sa lungsod.
