Attaining The Unreachable (Crossing The Line Series 2) ✅

A.T.U-24

"Ezra, how does it feel to be the newest cover of Vogue Magazine?" the reporter asked me.

"It feels great! For the past six years that I became a fashion model, being a cover model of Vogue has always been one of my greatest dream." I said and gave them a big smile.

"Is it true that Mr. Brett Fraiser is courting you for the past four years?" one of the interviewer asked.

I gave them a quirky smile. "Well, Brett and I are great partners. He's a nice guy and very jolly person. He's not courting me if that's what you want to hear."

It's been 4 years after my break up with Carlos. Simula nung naghiwalay kami ay pinagod ko ang sarili ko sa pagta-trabaho para makalimutan siya. Nakakatuwang isipin na habang nagmo-move on ako ay mas lalo akong naging successful. My billboards are posted in major cities here in the U.S. I became a model to most of the luxury brands of clothes, bags, shoes and even cars. I also have my own clothing brand named KELZ which has a lot of branchies in the Philippines.

KELZ stands for our squad's names: (Kyle, Ezra, Levi and Zein)

Pagkatapos ng press conference ay pumunta na kami ni Adrian sa airport. Babalik na ulit ako ng Pilipinas after staying in the U.S for two years. I stayed in the Philippines for 2 years when Carlos and I broke up and I continue my work with Moore's Modelling Corporation with Brett for another 2 years.

"Hindi ba sasabay sa atin yung mokong?" tanong ni Adrian na katabi ko sa passenger seat sa loob private van.

I massaged my temple. "Nauna na yata siyang bumalik sa Pilipinas kagabi."

"Are you staying in the Philippines for good, Ezra?" tanong sa akin ni Clyde na private driver ko sa Moore's.

I smiled at him while looking at the rear-view mirror. "Yes, Clyde. I'm staying there for good. I wanna retire from modelling and just focus with my own clothing brand. I will visit you guys again, I promise."

After 15 hours of flight ay nakababa na kami ni Adrian sa Philippine Airlines. I'm wearing a Leopard Silk Shirt, Ralph Lauren Flat Pants and a Louis Vuitton flat shoes. I didn't cut my hair that much for the past years so it's now shouldered length and I dyed it silver.

A lot of reporters and cameramen went to our direction when they saw me walking. Adrian tried to block them but they outnumbered him.

"Hello Ezra, how are feeling that you're now back in the Philippines again?" the female interviewer put her microphone in front of my mouth.

I gave her a genuine smile. "I'm really excited to see my family and friends."

She put the microphone back to her. "What can you advise to those aspiring models who wants to be successful like you?"

Modelling ang pinasok ko pero parang pang-Miss Universe ang tanungan.

"I believe, they should have the burning passion in their hearts so they can achieve success. And I, thank you!"

The reporters and cameramen chuckled. "Thank you, Ezra. I'm sure the whole country missed you. Welcome back!"

I smiled to all of them. Some took a selfie with me and I just allowed them. I've been with different countries but nothing beats Philippines when it comes to hospitality.

Nagulat ako nang makita ko ang isang Ferrari Red car na naghihintay sa labas ng airport at iniluwal non sina Kyle at Terrence. Kyle immediately gave me a hug while Terrence is just looking at me coldly.

"Welcome back, Ezra! Bigatin ka na talaga. Di ka na ma-reach!" pambobola sa akin ni Kyle.

I sighed. "Kayong dalawa ng asawa mo ang di ko na ma-reach. Nakikita ko yung mga posts mo sa IG. Kung saan-saan kayo nag-honeymoon, 'eh antagal niyo ng kasal..."

Kyle whispered. "Humanap ka na rin kasi ng ka-honeymoon mo. Antagal niyo ng hiwalay ni Car—"

I cut him off. "Ayoko na siyang pag-usapan."

Terrence tsked. "Ang tagal niyo naman. Nangangalay na akong hawakan 'tong pinto ng kotse."

Nakasakay kami ni Adrian sa passenger seat at parang gusto ko nang lumabas dahil nakaka-inggit ang ka-sweet-an nina Terrence at Kyle.

Kyle sulked. "Babe, tuloy na tayo sa Friday, ah? Birthday ko 'yon. Gusto ko kasama lahat ng friends ko."

Terrence chuckled. "Of course! Anything for you, babe. I already rent the whole place, so Ezra can also enjoy."

I cleared my throat before speaking. "Nakakahiya naman sa 'yo, Terrence. Sana di mo na nirentahan yung buong EK para lang sa 'kin. I can just wear a scarf or a facemask..."

Kyle shook his head. "Hindi pwede. Kung nahihiya ka sa pinambayad ng asawa ko, sponsor-an mo nalang ako ng damit. Grabe, ang successful na ng KELZ!"

Kyle's birthday will happen this Friday. That's 2 days away from now and I heard that Terrence rented the whole Enchanted Kingdom in Laguna just because Kyle asked him to.

Tumango nalang ako. Binaba nila kami ni Adrian sa bahay ko sa Tagaytay. Nakakatuwang isipin na tinapos pa rin ni Carlos ang paggawa sa dream house ko after naming mag-hiwalay. Hindi na kami nag-usap ulit after he left me in his condo. I haven't paid my house expenses to Carlos, dahil ayaw niya na rin akong kausapin.

Nakauwi na si Adrian sa kanila kaya mag-isa nalang ako dito sa bahay. Tumawag sa akin kanina sila mom, Levi, Zein at mga common friends sa modelling industry at sinabi kong magpapahinga muna ako dahil napagod ako sa biyahe.

I tried to stalk the instagram account of Carlos which I hope I didn't do. Nagulat ako nang makita ang mga posts niyang pictures.

Sa latest photo ay makikitang magkasama si Carlos at yung ex niya sa anniversary ng Rossett's Construction Builders. Nasa isa silang private hotel at nakayakap sa bewang ni Carlos ang ex niya. I just remembered that his ex name is Valerie. 4 years na ang nakalipas pero sa mga business magazines ko lang nakikita si Carlos. This is the first time that I stalk him in any social media platforms. He unfollowed me after our break up and I guess that's fine. I hurt him and I must be thankful na pinilit niya pa ring tapusin ang paggawa sa bahay ko.

Hindi ko na gustong makita ang ilan pang mga litrato dahil sumama na yung loob ko.

Nagkabalikan na siguro sila after 4 years?

Sana wag siyang saktan ni Valerie kagaya ng ginawa ko sa kanya.

That's my only wish.

Minsan lang ako humiling pero siya pa rin ang iniisip ko.
