After Everything (UP Series #1)

AE 33

Chapter 33

“Hi everyone! I’m Ariadne Garcia and welcome back to my channel!” intro ko sa aking vlog.

“So for today’s video we’re here sa pinaka nire-request n’yo. The Asylum Manila!” I said as my cameraman showed the Asylum Manila Haunted House.

I glanced at my wristwatch before I looked again at the camera. 

“Kinakabahan na ‘ko ngayon pa lang since ayoko talagang pumunta rito,” wika ko sa harap ng camera. “But since sobrang trending nito and many of you guys requested na pumunta ‘ko rito at pumasok sa loob. So this is it,” tipid akong ngumiti sa camera, kunwaring napipilitan but the truth is… I’m just scared.

Ngayon pa lang, nagsisimula nang pagpawisan ang kamay ko sa kaba at takot. My heart also started to beat a bit faster than the normal.

“But of course, hindi pwedeng ako lang ang papasok sa loob kasi hindi ko talaga kakayanin,” I said and laughed a bit. “So for this challenge, makakasama ko ngayon ang mga favorite n’yong UP players. So I’m gonna introduce first, ‘the puhunan of Lady Maroon’… my GF, Daniella Marqueza!” I introduced GF and pulled her closer to me so people would see her in the camera.

“Hi everyone!” GF said while smiling and waving her hand.

“Ready ka na GF?” I asked her.

“Of course…” she answered. “Excited na ‘ko!” she added. I looked at her in disbelief. Binatukan ko rin siya ng mahina.

“Plastic mo GF!” I smirked.

She laughed, reason why I laughed too. I shook my head at ipinagpatuloy ang pagpapakilala sa iba ko pang mga makakasama. I also introduced, Kendra, Jeremy, Rose, Manuel, Brickson, and of course, my brother.

“And the last but not the least, ang pinaka hinihintay n’yo. Gustong gusto niyo siyang makasama ko sa vlog ‘di ba? Ito na! The UP Fighting Maroon’s team captain…”

“Ang pambansang manliligaw,” asar ni GF kay Adamson. Adam shook his head and smiled.

“Adamson Trevino,” I introduced Adam. He didn’t say anything. He just nodded in front of the camera.

I nudged him. “Magsalita ka naman!” I said.

Umayos s’ya ng tayo sa tabi ko. He looked at me with his brows furrowed a bit.

“What should I say?” he asked innocently.

“Anything,” I answered.

He tsked. “Hi!” kunwaring napipilitan n’yang bati.

Hindi s'ya fan ng pagba-vlog or anything na may kinalaman sa camera. Ayaw n’yang laging vini video-han. Another thing that I discovered on him was, hindi s’ya mahilig humarap sa camera. Kaya kahit ino-offer-an siyang mag-artista katulad ng ina, ayaw n’ya. Hindi ko nga alam kung bakit siya naging modelo sa lagay na ‘yan.

Nakapila na kami ngayon para makapasok sa loob.

“Kinakabahan talaga ‘ko guys,” wika ko sa harap ng camera at sa mga kasamahan. “H’wag na kaya tayong tumuloy?” I added.

GF rolled her eyes but she smiled.

“Duwag mo talaga!" GF said.

"Wow!" I said in disbelief. "Pag ikaw narinig kong tumili-tili mamaya, lagot ka sakin!"

She crossed her arms and rolled her eyes again for the second time but this time, she smirked at what I said.

"Takot ka na agad," Adam teased.
