A/N: Listen to "What If" by Rhys Lewis while reading this. This song literally fits this episode like a glove, I can't even... 😭
Myrah's POV
"Hmm... I suggest you make it sound a little more... emotional."
"It can't get more emotional than that."
"You gotta do more than that Mira, it's the last scene."
"Yes, I know, but I really can't. I already added tears in it, why is it still not enough?"
"Because your eyes are hollow. Even I can see that."
I fell silent.
In the far corner of the set, V and I are rehearsing our lines for the final scene.
It's been a few weeks since the first day of filming and we're finally at the end of it all.
And as for Kieth, I haven't seen him since that night.
I tried to get a hold of him pero parati ko lang siyang hindi naaabutan. It was either he was busy or he was trying to avoid running into me.
Either way, I stopped trying and waited for him to come to me instead.
Today, V and I decided to meet at the set earlier to go through our lines and we've been at it for a few minutes already. That said, I keep messing up.
Hindi ko nga alam kung ano pa ang kulang ko eh... ginawa ko naman ang lahat.
At least, I thought I didn't know what was wrong until V pointed it out just now.
And he's right.
It's the scene that I was so unfamiliar with... the scene that never really happened.
All this time, I've been re-enacting what actually happened in the past.
All the emotions I had then, I kept pushing them up so that I could act well.
Pero paano ko gagawin tong scene na 'to kung hindi naman nangyari? Kung hindi ko naman na experience?
I know it's a poor excuse given that I'm an actress now but what can I do?
My first project is the story of my first love.
"Mira." V's voice called out to me.
"I know. I know. I'll try harder." Sabi ko, iniiwasan ang kanyang mga mata.
He looked a bit frustrated at how I was acting but he seemed a little more concerned than mad.
"Why don't you try reading the script one more time? I-feel mo yung intensity ng scene. Alam kong kaya mo 'to Mira. You just need more practice." He advised and smiled gently.
I felt my heart throb.
Don't smile at me like that.
Hindi mo alam kung ano ang nararamdaman ko sa tuwing ngumingiti ka sakin ng ganyan.
At ba't ka ba ngumingiti? Dapat nga naiirita ka na sakin ngayon eh.
Why you gotta be so nice all the time huh?
