"You know, I sometimes don't like you being a model..." Pagsasabi ni Juan sa'kin while he was turning the steering wheel for us we could park in this parking space.
Tumingin ako sa kanya. "Why?"
"Because there will always come to the time na you will get work with a guy..." Sabi niya and after he had parked the cark ay pinatay na niya yung makina ng sasakyan. "...just like this, you're going to do a photoshoot with a guy."
"And ayokong may lumalapit sa'yo na mga lalaki or worse, may humahawak sa'yo. It's making me fumed but then that's all I can do. There's nothing I can do because it's part of your job. It's your job." Juan says in frustration while looking at me and hindi ko mapigilan ang sarili ko na sumabog na lamang sa pagtawa.
Nako! Ayan na naman siya sa pagiging seloso niya! And yes, I'm going to have a photoshoot with someone for the new upcoming release ng Apartment 8 Clothing. The guy I'm being partnered with ay isang modelo rin na katulad ko. I know him and magkaibigan kami kasi nakatrabaho ko na rin siya for a couple of times.
"Babe, I'm serious!" Sabi naman niya nang makita ako na tumatawa. "Don't laugh at me!"
Umiling naman ako saka huminto na sa pagtawa. "I'm sorry. Nakakatawa ka kasi pagnagseselos ka. You're so cute!" Pinisil ko ang kanyang pisngi at mas lalo pa talaga sayang sumimangot.
"Babe..."
"Sorry, sorry. Hindi na..." I say and gave him a peck on his lips. "Don't be jealous na. You know, trabaho-trabaho lang tsaka at the end of the day naman I will always be yours. Always."
Juan kissed me on the lips and akala ko, it'll be just short, but ayon hinawakan ang beywang ko and stopped me from pulling away. So, I smacked his arm because nakailang kiss na kaya 'tong tao sa'kin today.
"Ikaw ha.. abusado mo e no?" I glared at him at ngumisi lamang ito. "I know you love it.."
"Tse! Tumigil ka!"
I unbuckle my seat belt at kinuha na ang bag ko but Juan got a hold of the handle of my bag. "Ako na..." Pumayag naman ako at lumabas na kami ng sasakyan niya. Juan is coming with me for the first time in my modeling shoot kasi gusto rin niya kasi na ihatid ako at para tignan kung ano yung usually ginagawa ko pag may shoot pero hindi rin siya magtatagal because he has training in half an hour.
We started walking towards the elevator and pagpasok namin, I pressed the 4th floor button. The door closed and after a few seconds ay bumukas na rin ito, signalling that we have already reached our floor.
"Are there going to be a lot of people there?' Juan asked beside me nang lumabas na kami sa elevator.
"Sakto lang, maybe 50 or less." I answered while we're going to our designated room where the shoot's going to take place.
When I saw na our room, I grab Juan's hand at piangsalikop ko ang aming mga daliri because wala lang, Juan may not know it pero I'm excited to introduce him to my co-workers. As I've said, this is his first time coming with me.
"I love you.." Juan then told me after I grabbed his hand at tiningala ko naman siya giving him a sweet smile. "I love you."
Idinilat ko ang aking mata mula sa pagkakaidlip dito sa sasakyan ko.
It's a dream. Tangina nga naman. Pati ba naman sa panaginip? Can I just choose what to dream? Madami namang iba hindi ba? Bakit kailangan ko pang maalala ang mga bagay na pilit kong kinakalimutan?
I looked at the rear mirror at kinalma ang sarili ng ilang sandali. There were little tears at the side of my eyes waiting to flow. Pero bago pa man iyon tumulo, ay pinunasan ko na kagad.
