ELLA
"Naka hanap ka na?" Alyssa asked
Umiiling naman ako
I heaved a sigh at nagpatuloy lang sa paghahanap ng trabaho
I saw Jia's post
"Ly..." sambit ko
Napa tingin naman siya sakin
We just stared at each other
Until she realized
"Naka hanap ka na?" There was excitement in her voice
I quickly nodded kaya nilapitan niya ako
Tinuro ko yung post ni Jia
"OMG! may trabaho ka na besh!" She exclaimed and hugged me
Napa ngiti naman ako
"Message Jia na besh para ma sendan ka na ng other deets" Sabi niya
Tumango naman ako at mag message kay Jia sa messenger
She quickly replied, and nag thank you pa sakin kasi finally daw at hindi na siya ma iistress
Napa tawa naman ako sa message niya
Personal assistant lang naman ako ng isang sikat na singer
Hindi naman siguro siya diba?
Sana hindi siya
Nakikita ko naman siya sa tv everytime may ni rerelease siyang kanta
Kind of missed her singing
Pero Naka move na ako eh
"Magkikita daw kami bukas, sakto daw na may interview yung amo ko bukas" sambit ko
Tumango naman si Alyssa
She owned a famous cafe here in batangas
She wants me here nga, pero hindi ako magaling sa mga ganito
As much as gusto ko, pero siguro after neto
5 months ko lang naman siya na magiging boss eh
Kailangan lang para sa gamot ni daddy
Kinapos kami kasi may malaking problema yung company ni dad
Kaya eto ako, naghahanap ng trabaho for him
Si ate Joyce, nasa england nag ttrabaho
Tinutulungan din kami sa pag sustento kay daddy
He's bed ridden na kasi and si Mom lang yung nag aalaga sakanya
Morning came, and today is the day!
Maayos akong naligo at namili ng disenteng damit
Nakakahiya naman pag hindi maayos yung outfit mo sa harap ng boss
Baka ma sisante pa ako
I got a text from my friends kaya napa ngiti ako
From: Power Rangers ni tuti
Alyssa: Goodluck besh!
Michele: Goodluck my friend!
Tuti: goodluck ells! sana nag toothbrush ka muna bago humarap sa new boss mo
Me:

Me:

Alyssa:

Michele: Hahaha gagi bat mo pina alala 💀
Alyssa: Diko alam kung maaawa ba ako or matatawa kay tots nun sa tv
Michele: Same! Pero mas natawa pa ako HAHAHAHA
Tots: Ah sige 🙂
Michele: Wala ka pala eh
Alyssa: Oh SIGE NA! baka di na maka punta tong si Jorella Marie
Alyssa: Ingat ka ha? and goodluck
Me:
Thanks besh! Thanks friends
I smiled and turned off my phone
Nag book na ako ng grab papunta sa isang event
P
ag dating ko, sinalubong ako ni Kyla
Nagtataka naman ako
"K-kyla?" takang tanong ko
Hinila niya naman ako
"Tara na! magsisimula na" sambit niya
Hinila niya ako patungo sa back stage
"Let's all welcome, Jema Galanza!" by body froze when I heard her name
Lumabas naman siya sa curtains
All smiles to the crowd, and sa host
Jema
Bumabalik ang ang memorya
Ang nakaraan
That day... nung nag break kami
How she pushed me away
How she broke my heart into pieces
Naka yukom ang mga kamao ko
The interview started and it went well
"Now, for the last question... About your music video, You said earlier na the theme is about your bucket list right?" the interviewer asked
Tumango naman si Jema
"Can we like, Know one thing about your bucket list?" The interviewer asked again
I saw her heaved a sigh before glancing at us
Her eyes widened when she saw me
Our eyes met, so I quickly looked at away
"U-uhmm...I uhh, I wanted to see someone I haven't seen for a Long time. Maybe a glimpse of her will do" she smiled
Tumingin siya samin to see their reaction but I caught her looking at me
After the interview, Pumunta na kami sa dressing room
"Oh, right. Jema, this is Ella De Jesus your new Personal Assistant" sambit ni Jia
We knew each other already
"Nice to...Meet you Ella" she said and offered her hand
Tinignan ko yung kamay niya
Flashback of how we first met
Kasali siya sa isang contest sa ateneo
And I was there, sinamahan ako ni Alyssa because she knew Jema's my crush
"Uhm... ms. De Jesus?" Jia snapped out my senses kaya napa balik ako sa ulirat ko
I awkwardly shake our hands
"Nice to meet you po, Ms. Galanza" sambit ko
"Oh no, Jema nalang. I don't like it kasi pag formal yung tao, You can call me Jema nalang if we're not working " She said
Napa tango naman ako
Nagka titigan naman kami sa isa't isa
"okay, mukhang tama na yang silent kineme niyo. May gutom na po dito"singit ni Kyla
I looked away awkwardly
I saw Jema's death stare on Kyla kaya napa tawa nalang si Jia
"Tara sa Sm? My treat since Ella's our newest member" Jia said
We all agreed
