My Love From The Church

Friends

Italic bold are flashbacks

________________________________

I was on my way out palabas ng bahay ng maka-receive ako ng tawag mula kay Yeri. I took out my phone at sinagot ang tawag habang nagmamaneho palabas ng subdivision.

I don't know kung ano ang gustong sabihin ni Irene but I'm guessing na it's about the issue. And kinakabahan ako. Irene always thinks rationally. If things get out of hand she will not let emotions took over her thinking and decision making. So I'm quite nervous what will happen. Especially sa'min ni Winter.

"Rina! Thank god sinagot mo na ang tawag." Yeri immediately exclaimed ng masagot ko ang call nya.

"What is it Yeri? I'm on my way papuntang office. Irene wants me there." I told her.

"I know, we talked already. Dun nalang din tayo mag-usap. After ko rito"  She said. I heard some unknown noises mula sa linya nya. Nasa condominium parin ba sya?

"You wouldn't believe what I just discovered kanina. I'm on my way also. Sabihin ko nalang ang lahat sayo after ng usap nyo ni Irene."

Then she ended the call.

I tried contacting Mark after. I just want to know kung naihatid nya na ba si Winter. He's not answering kaya inisip ko nalang na baka they're still on the road. I immediately typed a message saying about sa meeting with Irene. Baka kasi mag-alala sya pagbalik nya ng bahay at di nya ako makita.

Mahigpit ang kapit ko sa steering wheel habang binabaybay ay daan papuntang world entertainment.

All I want is a peaceful life throughout my career. When Winter came into the picture my life took a total 360 degree turn. I experienced and felt things na hindi ko inaakalang kakailanganin ko sa buhay. Sure I was doing okay. I'm happy doing music and all. The popularity and the fans that I get makes me happy. Akala ko contented na ako. Kontento na ako sa ganun. Not until Winter.

Winter.

All I need is Winter.

She makes me so happy. And I want that happiness to stay.

But because of things na nangyayari ngayon I'm afraid na mawala ang happiness na yun.

Was I afraid of my career being crashed? Do I feel scared? The answer is no, co'z honestly I was more afraid na masira ko ang nananahimik na buhay ni Winter. I'm scared of losing her.

The headlines wouldn't die down any time soon and I'm sure paparazzi are lurking everywhere para makahanap pa ng mas scandalous scoop about me. That's what I'm being afraid of. Kasi madadamay si Winter. The hate, the haters. I can take all that. But I know how showbiz works. Once na malaman ng lahat ang involvement ni Winter. She will take all the backlash. Majority of the people will make sick comments about her. People are people. They wouldn't talk much about the idol. They'll enjoy talking about the person involved.

Sana lang nga ay maayos na ang lahat.

Irene instructed me na ipasok nalang ang kotse ko at wag akong mag-park sa harap dahil sa dami ng reporters at fans na naka-abang sa labas ng company.

Sobrang dami nga. Mabuti nalang talaga at hindi kapansin-pansin ang car na ginamit ko. May iilang tumingin pero they didn't pay much interest.

Bago lumabas ng kotse ay nagsuot parin ako ng mask and cap. Nasa loob ako ng parking area sa loob mismo ng building pero kailangan ko paring mag-doble ingat.

Mabilis ang ginawa kong pagkilos papasok ng building. May ilan akong nakakasabay na employee sa elevator paakyat ng floor kung san located ang office ni Irene. Some employees recognized me habang yung iba naman ay hindi. Lalo na yung mga busy sa pag-uusap tungkol sa headlines ngayon na nagpapahirap sa kanila.
