THEY SAID facing your ex once again after so many years was kind weird because you’ll remember all the memories you shared. It may be happy or sad moments. And for the others , it’s just simple as greeting your friend.
But it my situation , it was chaotic.

Because working with your ex , would not just make you remember all of  the memories you shares together. Because it also brings a heavy pressure between the both of you.

“ CUT!”

“ let’s take a break.” He added.

I cant help but to hissed at myself upon hearing that line again from our director.

We are at a fancy restaurant. i’m wearing a extravagant dress same as the lady in front of me.

Makita ko pa lang ang nag iinit na mga mata ni Direk habang papalapit sa ‘kin hindi ko na maiwasang mapa kamot sa likod ng leeg ko dahil sa kahihiyan.

Napalingon ako kay James na tinatapik ang balikat ko. kasama kasi siya sa eksena na kinukunan naming ngayon sa isang restaurant. At isa pang kasama naming ay nilingon ko ng mabilis at saka ito ibinalik sa sahig na dati ko ng tinititigan.  may distansiya man siya sa ‘kin ngunit ramdam ko parin ang titig niya sa ‘kin na para bang nag aalala siya o may nais siyang sabihin pero hindi niya magawa.

“  Alexa , ano ba talagang problema mo at hindi mo magawa ng tama itong scene na ito??” Direk Ricky asked as he tapped my shoulder.

Yan din ang tanong na kanina pa nasa isipan ko. binasa ko naman yung script ng ilang beses , I even acted it so many times. And yet when the camera finally started rolling , I felt like all of my hard work was in vain.

Nakaka 50 na kaming take ng scene kung saan nahuli ni Isha na nag de-date kami kuno ni Ethan. At ilang beses na akong nag practice , hindi ko parin nagagawa ng tama.

James tapped my shoulder for the last time before walking away from us. while ‘she’ just stood there listening to us until she finally decided to stood next to me.

Hindi ko alam kung sinasadya niya ba talagang na pag hakbang niya ay biglang magdikit ang siko namin. Ngunit pakiramdam ko ata ay nakagat ko ng biglaan ang dila ko dahil sa dalang kuryente nang magdikit ang balat namin.

“ Sorry direk , uhm a-ano. Medyo magulo lang po talaga yung utak ko. t-tapos dala na din po siguro ng pressure” I said.

He nodded. “ Look Alexa , simula noong mag sama tayo sa ganitong projects. Ngayon lang kita nakita na ganito ka balisa” he said.

“ Uhm I’ll practice more---“

“ You should---“ he was instantly cut by a sudden voice.

“ ricky , she said she’s pressured. Maybe we should give her a break since this is a heavy scene that we’re taking. “ Agad kong napalingon kay Verena.

At una pa lang na magtama ang mata namin , hindi ko na maiwasang mapa lunok. Her eyes was cold yet blazing with fire because of the scene we’re taking yet when she faced me , she instantly put a sweet smile on her lips and her dragon like eyes suddenly became a bit calm.

Dali-dali akong napa iwas ng tingin ng makita ko ang ngiti niya na tila nagpapahina ng tuhod ko.

Bakit ba ganun siya ngumiti?!! Di ko alam kung talagang apektado ba ako ng ngiti niya o talagang naninibago lang ako sa kanya kapag ngumingiti siya dahil automatiko na atang naka set ang pagmumuka niya sa maldita mode eh. Kahit hindi naman siya galit , laging masungit ang itsura niya.
