Chapter Forty Two: Good Again

"Congratulations!"

My editor congratulated me and the others gave me a bouquet of roses to congratulate me for the sell-out of my pre-release novel.

We've been hinting at the release of my new novel and when we finally released the date of our pre-release, maraming nakabili and we sold out!

It's crazy, 'di ako makapaniwalang maeexperience ko 'to, I've had pre-releases before but I've never had a sold-out pre-release.

I'm always going to be grateful for my fans and everyone who loved my books. Naiiyak na nga ako pero pinipigilan ko lang ang sarili ko, 'di kasi waterproof ang mascara na gamit gamit ko.

"Thank you, thank you so much..." salamat ko sa kanila.

"We should thank everyone else who worked with me for this novel, my editor, and everyone who worked with me to perfect it, without you guys we would not be able to have a successful pre-release before it was even fully released, thank you so much!" I added.

This is huge.

Itetext ko si Genevieve pagkatapos ni'to for sure, magpapaparty din siya, inuman kami sigurado tapos kakain pa kami ng Pizza sa Pizzahut, I'm sure of it.

Nakatanggap din ako ng iba pang mga bulaklak at pasasalamat mula sa mga nakatrabaho kong mga modelo at pati na rin yung mga kaibigan ko.

Pag dating ko sa apartment ko kita ko na agad yung mga bulaklak galing sa mga Manuel na magkakapatid, meron din galing kay Quinten which surprised me, and then... Alexander.

Oh, of course he knows.

Siya yung kasama ko nung nalaman ko na na-sold out yung novel sa website at sa mga retailers.

He was supportive, he was very excited for me.

I remember when my first novel was released, he was very excited for me too and he just told me that he's proud of me, gano'n din si Silas.

Speaking of Silas, he bought me a new laptop as a congratulation gift, wait-- ito yata yung mamahalin sa Apple, is this a MacBook?

Is he crazy?

Alam naman niyang 'di ko gusto yung mga mamahaling bagay galing sa mga kaibigan ko.

I'd rather spoil myself than be spoiled by someone else.

"Stupid." I said, laughing while on the phone with Silas.

"What? It's a wonderful gift!"

"Wonderful? Ang mahal!"

"Oh, you love it. And besides, it's a gift for your success, and she loved it. I'll be reading it soon." he chuckled.

Umupo ako sa couch at binuksan ang TV habang hawak ko pa rin ang telepono sa kamay ko, alam kong matagal niya na ring hinihintay ang novel ko, he's a fan and I didn't want to spoil him anything.

"Nabasa na ba niya?"

"Hm, sino?"

"Your future boyfriend."

Oh no. He knows, doesn't he? Ako wala akong sinasabi kaya kung kanino niya man 'to narinig siguradong makakatanggap siya ng sapak galing sa'kin.

"How did you know?" I sighed.

"He told me, he was upset because I joked that I'd court if he wouldn't and he said he's courting you..."
