Saellyn Yosjua was born with golden spoon in her mouth, being spoiled with all the things she want, and was even trained to act like a princess. But that's not the life she wanted. Money will never be enough for her if her father never even cared fo...
Dealing with numerous hands fixing her make-up and her face while reading a script was never easy as an actress. That's what Saellyn realized.
Kahit gusto niyang tumayo muna at lumanghap ng sariwang hangin ay hindi niya magawa dahil sa mga nakapalibot na staff sa kaniya.
"My dear, have you chosen already what kind of swimsuit you're going to wear?" Lumingon siya kay France at agad itong tinanguan.
"I'll wear it later after this, thanks France," she responded before flipping the page on to the next.
The staffs sent her a digital copy of their script but she prefer reading it on paper, mas nakakapag-focus pa siya sa sitwasyon na gano'n. She'll just get tempted to open her social media accounts and scroll. That's a bad habit.
"Please tell me how would you like your hair to be done, ma'am," magalang na tanong sa kaniya ng isang babae na agad niyang nilingon.
She flashed a sweet smile. "Can I let it down? I'm more comfortable with it, but you can do whatever you want if needed."
Matamis din itong ngumiti sa kaniya. "You don't have to worry about anything, you can keep your hair down, ma'am. I'll just fix it a little bit since it's windy outside."
"Thank you so much," sagot niya rito bago muling ibalik ang mga mata sa binabasa.
She already memorized some of her lines, she's just reviewing it for the rehearsal later. Nate-tense siya dahil magiging kaeksena niya na ang lalaki. Kahit naman komportable siyang kasama ito ay nahihiya pa rin siya.
"Ma'am Saellyn, do you want to wear your swimsuit right now?"
Nang tumango siya sa isang staff ay agad naman siyang inalalayan ng mga ito patayo. She picked a criss-cross two piece swimsuit before entering the dressing room.
Tinitigan niya ang kabuoan sa malaking salamin at napangiti. The two piece emphasizes her flawless and curvy body.

"Ay perfect! Ang ganda talaga ng alaga ko!" Natatawang inilingan niya si Paris na tumili pagkakita sa kaniya.
"Ang over acting, Paris, ha." Rome, on the other hand, rolled his eyes.
"You can leave now, guys. Thank you so much for assisting me. I'll treat you somewhere nice after this. I'll be fine here." Magalang siyang yumuko sa mga staff na mabilis naman siyang nginitian.
"We'll be back later to fetch you once the rehearsal is near, ma'am. Thank you also!"
Nang makaalis lahat ng mga ito ay pabagsak siyang kumandong kay Liam na nagmamadali naman siyang sinalo.
"Ay, jusko, ang alaga ko! Napakahilig manggulat! Hindi ko tuloy alam kung anong alaga ba 'yung nabigla sa akin." Sabay-sabay silang nagtawanan sa sinabi nito.
"Liam, I feel sleepy," sumbong niya.
"Oo, sige, mahal ko. After ng shoot mo, puwede ka naman matulog. Hindi ka namin iistorbohin."
She was about to open her mouth to say something when someone entered their room. Gulat siyang napalingon kay Dagger na ngayon ay masama ang tingin sa posisyon niya.
She's sitting on Liam's lap and Dagger's now staring at them in annoyance.
Lumapit ito sa kaniya bago siya marahang hilahin patayo.
"Ahm? Why?" she asked curiously.
"Oh, do you have any business here, Dagger? And why are you grabbing my dearest alaga like that?" Liam looked at her suspiciously. "Sabi ko na, eh. May something."
Rome clapped his hands. "Kabog! Tinginan pa lang ni papi Dagger selos na 'yan agad!"
"Rome, Liam! Gosh!" saway niya sa mga ito. Nilingon niya ang lalaki. "Let's go outside."
"No, I'll stay here. There's media everywhere, I don't want to socialize for a while," sagot nito na agad naman niyang naintindihan.
Kinuha niya ang kamay nito na kanina pa humahaplos sa baywang niya. She accompanied him to sit on the coach. "What's the matter?"
"Aalis muna kami, mga kamahalan. Mamaya makaistorbo pa kami." France giggled before pulling the other three.
Bago pa makalabas ang mga ito ay nilingon muna sila ni Paris. "Ang haba ng hair mo, mahal ko. Hindi ka pa leading lady sa lagay na 'yan. Paano pa kaya kung--" his line was cut off when Liam pulled him as they finally vanished from their sight.
Saellyn gasped when Dagger pulled her waist and made her sit down on his lap. Napayakap siya sa batok ng lalaki at agad naman nitong binaon ang mukha sa leeg niya.
"Why are you sitting down on his lap? You never did that to me," may bahid ng pagtatampong sabi nito.
She chuckled with what he said. "Do you realize that I'm wearing two piece right now? Our position is kind of inappropriate."
He pouted his lips. "Hindi naman kita mamanyakin, eh. I just want to be with you."
"Oh, so sitting on your lap is required?" Natatawa niyang kinurot ang pisngi ng lalaki. "Ang gwapo mo naman po."
"Ang ganda mo rin." He stared at her lovingly. "Sobrang ganda mo, tangina. Ang sarap mo talagang pakasalan." He kissed her collarbone gently.
Her laugh became even louder. "Sige, pakakasalan kita kapag nakakita na ako ng puting uwak."
Naguguluhang pinagmasdan niya ang lalaki nang mabilis nitong hugutin ang cellphone sa short na suot nito. He quickly dialed a number.
"Hello, Jared?" Tumikhim ito. "May puting uwak ba?"
He carefully lifted her and made her sit down beside him. Nilingon siya nito saglit bago muling ibalik ang atensyon sa katawagan.
"Yeah, buy me one. The most expensive. I don't care who ever owns it, offer any amount and send it to me after one hour."
Her jaw dropped as he finished the call. Hindi naman siya tanga para hindi maintindihan ang sinabi nito.
"It'll arrive after an hour. Would you marry me after?" he joked around.
Agad niyang hinampas ang dibdib nito. "Hoy, ano ka ba? Tinotoo mo naman 'yung sinabi ko. At anong most expensive? My gosh!"
He chuckled with her response. "Just kidding. I'll tell Jared to buy me love birds instead, you can have it."
Nanlaki na naman ang mga mata niya. "You don't have to do that."
"It's a gift from me, my beautiful baby." Dagger carefully caress her waist.
"Gift for what?"
"A thank you gift for letting me experience undescribable happiness when you're around." Muli siya nitong niyakap nang mahigpit. "I've never been this happy before, Saellyn."
