Kabanata 10: The Promise

"Really?"

"Yes, it is official, and people are already prepared for the release of this movie next month. It was a good idea to choose this movie to invest in."

'Di ako makapaniwala sa naririnig ko. It has been exactly a week since Silas and I had worked together, after my opinions and my assistance with him and his views on the investments, he'd finally chosen the movies he wanted to invest in and now we're listening to some good news.

"In a span of an hour, there have been four million views, that is crazy!"

"It is crazy, this is going to be a huge success."

Pumalakpak ang mga empleyado at pati na rin yung magkamaganak na mga Nakamoto na nakaupo sa harap na'min, pumalakpak din yung mga kapatid ko sa tabi ko, ganun din naman ako pero halos 'di ako makagalaw sa pagkabigla ko.

Wait, really? I can't believe that this specific movie is attracting so much attention around the Philippines.

E'to yung mismong movie na napili ko dahil trendy siya, maganda rin yung plot at yung pacing, tamang-tama lang.

And the fact that they have two rising stars in this movie is a lot too, that means they're trusting the actors for such a movie.

Alam ko naman na 'di madali na makakuha ka ng mga manonood, pero 'di lang din ako makapaniwala na ganito pala kadami yung manonood ng trailer, kung ganito karami ang nanood ng trailer, paano pa kaya kapag lumabas na yung pelikula?

I was too surprised. I was just too surprised, naalala ko yung time na sinabi lang din sa'kin ni Silas na pipiliin niya ang pinili ko at dahil sa opinyon ko talagang natulak ko siya na piliin na yung mga pelikula at libro na iinvest niya.

"By next month, we'll have a meeting with them again and attend the movie premiere, make sure to dress up well, and of course... don't look too good or the actors won't have any time to shine~" nakangiting sambit ni Evan at ininom ang tea sa lamesa.

"You did well, Silas."

"Oh, it wasn't just me, it was also Geneva who did well. She helped me with everything, without her then maybe I could've chosen the wrong movie to invest in."

Napunta ang mga atensyon nila sa'kin, blanko ang ekspresyon ni Evan, gulat naman pero proud yung kay Karine, blanko rin yung kay Cerine kaso halata na masaya siya dahil kumikinang yung mga mata niya.

Shit. I'm not used to this attention, I don't think I like attention after all. This is so awkward and embarrassing for no reason.

"Thank you, Ms. Dixon." pasalamat agad ni Evan at ibinaba yung iniinom niyang tsaa sa lamesa, binigyan niya rin ako ng maliit na ngiti.

Yung tipong ngiti na satisfied siya na natulungan ko yung kamag-anak niya.

Kumpara sa una na'ming nakilala ang isa't-isa, parang masaya siya kasi magiging susccessful ang pelikula, ibig sabihin may pera rin.

"You're welcome, Mr. Nakamoto..." muntik na 'kong mautal, ang gwapo rin talaga niya.

Si Silas kasi gwapo at alam niya na gwapo siya, pero si Evan parang kahit anong gawin niya attractive siya at gwapo siya sa tingin ng iba kahit na hindi niya alam yun.

Gwapo pa rin siya kahit na blanko ang ekspresyon niya at kapag malamig ang titig niya, pero 'di ko inaakalang ganito pala siya kagwapo kapag may ngiti sa labi niya.
