"Alana Louisse Palvarezo is here!"
"Lend us a minute to interview you, Miss A."
People squealed when someone declared and saw my fierce appearance as we passed by on the lobby of General Santos International Airport.
"Welcome back to hell, sweetie."
Napasinghap ako sa sinabi ni Dawn. Pinaalala niya ang posibleng mangyari sa'kin pero hindi ako naniwala. At ngayon, ang makita ang mga taong nagkakagulo, nagsisigawan at tumatakbo paalis sa kumpulan ay nagpahinto sakin.
Nagdadalawang isip ako kung tutuloy pa ba o hindi. Ang sayang nararamdaman kanina ay napalitan ng kaba at takot. Kaba para sa mangyayari at takot para sa sarili. Ngumiti nalang ako ng pilit at nagsimulang maglakad na may katabing bodyguard.
I'm glad I wore an unusual outfit; sunglasses, denim pants, gray hoodie, a pair of white shoes and a mask. Dapat girlscout, laging handa.
I doubt why are they being so nosy. I'm just a freelance model and not a celebrity. I'm not a catch! So, why me?
Paparazzis, specifically fans waited for my arrival. May kumalat daw na isyu that mark their inquisitive interest concern me. Many citizens awaits and are curious about it. To have validity, they're currently interrogating questions. Eager to strike my response about it to make it a big storm.
Surely, they'll publish my return to a vogue magazine, newspapers and social media. More likely to had fun about it and gain money.
"There's an image of you trying to get away with a foreign. Who is he? Your secret boyfriend?"
You. My next victim. Ansarap sana sabihin.
"If you were to choose? A married man or a cheater boyfriend?"
"Someone who'll fix your heart or rehabilitate your mind?"
What? I can't hear it clearly. Mabilis masyado, sabay pa. Siguro...
Both. Charot.
"Miss Alana, will you confirm the rumors about your affair with a thai actor that was bombarded online?" I chortled on their rummaging questions.
How I wish.
"Gaga! May gana ka pang tumawa. Walk faster. Your haters might reach you." Dawn murmured.
She's on my left side slightly pulling my arm away on the crowd. She should be! My plan of not going home is ruined by her momentous occassion.
"I wasn't expecting my life could extremely fascinate them."
"You duplicated trouble, Aisse. How can anyone forget a talk?" she teased hugging me beside. Kailan pa 'to naging clingy?
"Seeing a fiery woman coming towards us. Attacked you or pull your damn hair doesn't surprise me anymore pero 'yon ang na miss ko sayo."
I won't ever forget those days, enduring the pain I took in every girls confusion.
Young women blamed me for being a seductress. They're so possessive, immature and very suspicious. They wouldn't believe and understand that I don't have a thing for their boyfriends.
Time came, I became tired explaining that it's for academic purpose only-- the drama, performance, group activity, etc. In similar way, their guys would asked for my assistance such as borrowing money and fancy up to impress their girls.
Talking is useless.
Sizzling shit. They often misinterpret it. I better escaped my planned route to avoid those lame.
