'Till It's Time (COMPLETED)

Chapter 19 (Complications Part 2)

Rhian dragged Glaiza away from that group of people wanting to interview her. This is not the right time para sa ganitong sitwasyon kaya mas minabuti niyang lumayo sila sa mga ito. They drove off.

"Ano na ngayon ang balak mo? You can't run away to those people everytime na makita ka nila or tayo." Glaiza said.

"I know. I have to talk to Mamu and arrange a press conference for me. Kung gusto mo sumama ka na."

"Sa presscon? Are you sure? You think it's a good idea?"

"I think? I don't know. All i know is gusto ko nang i-end ang mga bagay bagay. Wala na akong pakialam sa sasabihin ng iba."

Glaiza looked at Rhian. She felt so special and so loved dahil wala ng ibang gusto si Rhian kundi ang makasama siya at maging proud sa kanya.

"Bakit?" Rhian asked nang makitang nakatitig sa kanya si Glaiza.

"Nothing. I'm just so happy. Sige, kung ano gusto mo susuportahan kita. King gusto mong sumama ako sa presscon ay dadating ako."

"Thanks Love."

After dropping Glaiza in RK, Rhian went directly to Mamu, her manager, to talk to her.

"Mamu, i have a favor to ask."

"What is it?"

"Gusto ko sanang magpa-press conference to addresa all the issues coming out. I can't handle this anymore. Nagkalat na maging sa papers at social media about my relationship."

"Actually, i want to talk to you about that. I thought hindi ka pa ready 'cause of what happened to your Mom. Ngunit dahil sa na-open mo na din naman ay pag-usapan na nga natin."

"My plan is to bring my girlfriend along with me." Rhian told Mamu.

"Wait... What?!!" Nagulat si Mamu sa sinabi ni Rhian. She's not expecting that to her. Ang alam niya ay iba ang gustong mangyari ni Rhian.

"Mamu, i have decided."

"Are you really serious about thayt? Pinag-isipan mo ba ng maigi? What if may mangyari na naman sa Mommy mo? Did you ever think about her?"

"I talk to her already Mamu. Wether they like it or not and my Dad already said what he need to say."

"Hay naku Rhian. Bahala ka na nga! Wala ka nang patutunguhan kapag ginawa mo ang gusto mo. Tutal sabi mo nakapagdesisyon ka na then be it. I will schedule a press conference on Friday. I will message you the details. Sana lang hindk mo pagsisihan ito Rhian." Nagsermon pa ang isa.

"Thank you Mamu. No matter what happen, i will not bother you nor cry to you because i know k can handle it." Buong lagmamalaki ni Rhian.

TWO DAYS PAST at kalat na kalat na nga ang larawan ni Rhian at Glaiza sa lahat ng social media holding hands and galking sweetly. Mga larawang lanakaw na kinuha ng mga taong tsismosa at walang magawa sa buhay. Dumadami na din ang nambabash sa kanila.

The Press Conference.

Sabay sina Rhian at Glaiza na pumunta sa venue. They are 10 minutes late from the call time. Sinadya nila iyun para nandun na ang lahat pagdating nila.

When the group of press saw Rhian entering the room, biglabg nagbulungan ang mga tao at lahat nh lente ng camera ay nagsimulang magliwanag.

She exhaled before she stand infront to address everyone.

"Kaya mo 'to Rhian. Kaya mo 'toh." Sa isip niya. Glaiza stayed outside as she was told by Mamu and Rhian.

"Hi everyone." Bati ni Rhian sa lahat. "Thank you for coming. Hindi na ako magpapaliguy ligoy pa. I know everyone of you have a question to ask. I am ready to answer each of it."

Someone raised a hand. A lady.

"Yes?" Rhian asked.

"Hi Rhian. Firat of all thank you for inviting us here. I just want to ask if may katotohanan ang lahat ng mga naipopost sa net at mga naglalabasang issue tungkol sa 'yo." Tanong ng babae.

"Thank you. Ano bang issue 'yan? Sa dami ng issue hindk ko na tuloy alam kung alin ang dapat kong sagutin." Parawa pa nk Rhian.

"It is all about you having a relationship with a girl. Is it true?"

"Totoo po 'yun." Walang gatol na sagot ni Rhian.

Lalong lumakas ang bulongbulungan ng iba at nag-ingay ang buong silid.

"I know all of you was shocked about it. I don't have to explain why or when but i must face the issue. Yes, i am a lesbian. And YES, i am in a relationship with a girl." Diin niyang pag-amin.

"What aboit your boyfriend, Jayson?" Somebody asked her.

"Me and Jayson talked about it already and i said sorry to him. I know this hurts him as well bug what can i do? Ang buong pag-uusap namkn ay hindi ko na lang sasabihin pero i assure you, he knows it before i stand infront of you guys."

"Bakit sa kapwa mo pa babae? Hindi mo ba alam na kasalanan 'yan?" An old lady from the back asked with no hesitation. "Oo nga! Napaka immoral naman ang ganyan." "Nakakadiri!"

Mga bulong bulungan ng mga taong nasa loob. Sobfang hiya nk Rhian sa mga bulungbulungang iyun pero handa na siya sa pagkakataong ito.

"Guys, please be silent." Mamu interupted.

Ang iba ay sumunod pero ang jba naman ay patuloy pa rin.

"Kung kasalanan man ito sa tingin ninyo, kayo na po ang bahala. Judge me if you want. Curse me if that makes you happy but i am me. I am who i am and i'm not going to hide it just because othera don't agree." Matapang na sagot ni Rhian.

"Pwede ba namin makilala ang babaeng ipinaglalaban mo ngayin Rhian?" Isang tanong ulit.

"Ofcourse!"

She told her assistant to call Glaiza and just a moment, Glaiza appeared in the room. Rhian extend her hand for her and she grabbed it as soon as she touch them.

Glaiza, being not use to in front of the cameras and reporters is very shy. She hold Rhian's hand tighter as she can bear.

"She is my girlfriend Glaiza De Castro!" Rhian proudly announced.

And again, the people inside that room buzzed like an angry bees.

Bago pa lumala ang sitwasyon ay nagpasalamat na si Rhian sa lahat at tsaka lumabas sa loob ng silid na iyun hawak hawak ang kamay ni Glaiza.

Lahat ng taong dumalo sa presscon na iyun ay hindj makapaniwala ngunit may mga iba naman na open minded sa mga bagay bagay.

Hindi maiwasan ng mga taong madadaanan nila Glaiza at Rhian palabas sa building ang magbulungan at tignan sila habang palabas. Others have that look of disgust in their faces while some looks angry maybe because of what Rhian hide from them as fans.

Glaiza hugged Rhian so tight when they reach the car.

"My gosh! Ganun pala feeling ng maharap sa ganung klase ng crowd. But i'm so proud of you Love ko. I'm very very proud. We can habdle all this right?" Glaiza mused.

"Yes, we can handle it. Bahala na ang susunod na mangyayari." Sagot naman ni Glaiza.

Hindi pa sila nakakasakay sa kanilang sasakyan ay isang tawag ang natanggap ni Rhian. That was from her Dad.

"Come home right now!!" Bulyaw ng ama.
