Epilogue

"Spread your legs, Alaric." Tamad kong sinunod ang utos ng direktor at sunod-sunod na ang pag-click ng camera.

This work is kinda tiring but still, I love what I'm doing. Noon, gusto ko ang mag-Piloto, but maybe I'm not really meant to be a Pilot.

"Fiercer!"

I sigh. Okay, fine.

I immediately go home after that tiring shoot with the tiring director. He's so bossy, yeah.

Pabagsak akong humiga sa kama. I open my phone to check some emails and important message. Hindi ko na namalayan na napunta na ako sa facebook. Maraming message na galing sa mga fans. There's so many notification too because of my social media manager's new post this christmas.

I'm not into social media. I don't like reading comments about me. Social media is just so toxic.

Aalis na sana ako nang makita ko ang isang post.

I am merry

I was stunned for a moment.

She's wearing a red shirt and beside her is a huge christmas tree. Hindi siya nakangiti pero hindi rin nakasimangot. She's beautiful. I mean, yeah... beautiful.

I almost hit the like react and comment something about her, but I just realized that this is my official account. I shook my head. I can't do that.

I spent hours just reading and memorizing my script for a shoot tomorrow. Inabala ko talaga ang sarili ko para hindi na mag-isip ng kung ano-ano.

Pero hindi talaga ako mapakali. Bumuntong hininga ako. Kinuha ko ulit ang cellphone ko at nakita ko na lang ang sarili na gumagawa ng panibagong account sa facebook.

It's okay to create a second account right? I can do that, too. I'm an actor, yes, but I can create a second account, too. A private one. I am also a social media user so I'm allowed to create one.

When I finish creating, I search her profile.

And hell, she's so beautiful in her profile picture. I mean, what the hell? Okay. She's really beautuful. Can someone be this beautiful?

I liked her post and typed my comment.

I am merry, too. ; )

And then I realized, why am I doing this? Just for that woman I didn't know?

Days passed by. And I keep on stalking that girl. Hindi siya madalas mag-post. Hindi ko na rin namamalayan na naka-save na pala sa cellphone ko ang mga picture niya.

What the fuck, Alaric? What are you actually doing? Stalking a girl.

Alaric:
Hi

I smiled when I sent that to her and to my surprise, she replied.

Arich Elizabeth Vanturanza:
Hello!

I don't know what's with her but I actually laughed at her corny joke. She's actually different from her pictures, sa mga litratong naka-tag sa kaniya ay parang ang tahimik niya at hindi palangiti. But chatting with her actually lighten up my mood.

Parang nawala yata ang pagod at stress ko sa trabaho.

Humiga ako sa kama, this is relaxing. Plus this girl is a stress reliever.

Pero nawala bigla lahat ang sigla ko nang mabasa ang huling chat niya.

Arich Elizabeth Vanturanza:
Hi, mr. My brother open my account and turns out that he's the one you're talking to. Sorry about that.
