Chasing Unknown (Completed)

Thirty-fifth

Kahit masama ang loob ko, wala akong ibang choice kundi gawin ang trabahong pinirmahan sa FGC. I have already finished the photoshoots and the voice recording for the spiels. Magaan naman katrabaho ang buong team nina Andrea, they give me breaks when they feel like I'm growing tired.

Tita Calila didn't visit me the past days. It was only Farah who accompanies me. Though, my handler doesn't forget to give me phone calls and send food everyday. She's probably busy over something. Or baka sa mga bagong proyekto ng iba pang alaga nya.

Now, I'm doing the video shoots in the condo amenities itself. It's the second day, actually. Yesterday, we did shots on the living room, kitchen, bedrooms, library and movie room. Kaunti na lang ang gagawin ngayon. Gym and the swimming pool.

"That suits you well, Miss Zeia!" Bati ni Andrea pagkapasok ko sa gym.

Agad lumapit si Farah para ayusin ang pagkaka-fit ng suot lalo sa likuran.

Suot ko ang dark green na stretch out sports bra at yoga pants na ibinigay nila sa akin para rito. Parang nakakita ng aparisyon ang ilan nang makita ako, lalo ang mga lalaki.

I'm used to those kinds of stares. Even before I entered this industry there were people who look at me like that. It's fine as long as they will only stare and not do anything beyond that. It's a different story if they approach me. I would definitely turn them down given my horrible experience in perverts before.

"Thanks, Andrea." Sagot ko.

"Bagay din sayo ang buhok mo." Dagdag nya pa.

I smiled gratefully at her. It was done in a double braid so I would look neat. I don't usually braid my hair. Most of the times, and as advised by my stylist, we just let my long black hair down.

I scanned the whole place. Busy ang mga videographer at ilang staff sa pagse-set up ng camera para sa yoga poses na gagawin ko mamaya. I'll be doing shots there and on the treadmill. Nasa sa akin na lang ang ibibilis ng shots dito dahil  may bukod na grupong nagse-set up din ng camera para sa treadmill.

"How do you manage to maintain a flat tummy, Miss Zeia? Do you exercise regularly?" Tanong ng isa pang babaeng staff sa akin. "Mas gusto ko talaga ang hulma ng katawan mo kaysa kay Miss Danaya."

Natawa ako at hinawakan na rin ang tiyan ko. I haven't eaten anything yet this morning so it would really be flat. But I don't think my figure is better than Danaya's. That woman is near perfection.

"Not much. Maybe twice a week thirty minute run." I answered with a smile.

"Ohh... twice a week din naman akong tumatakbo pero bakit pataba pa ako ng pataba?" Ngumuso ang staff.

Si Andrea ay natawa dahil doon. May katabaan nga ang babae pero tingin ko, madadaan naman sa disiplina kung talagang gustong magpapayat.

"Baka kasi sa kusina ka tumatakbo? Talagang tataba ka kung ganoon." Biro ni Andrea sa babae na nanlaki ang mata.

"Bastos ka!"

Nagtawanan kami dahil doon. It's just a friendly banter. How I wish I have girl friends whom I can do that without getting offended. Kay Violet lang ako komportable sa kahit ano. With Sharlotta, mostly serious talks and that's fine.

I love having matured talks with people. That's how I learn. The way they tell their stories felt like I've done it, too. So their victories are my inspirations, their mistakes are my cautions.

Inaya ako ni Andrea patungo sa shooting area. Nakalatag na ang green yoga mat doon.

"Ganito ang mga gagawin, Miss ha." Sabi nito sabay pakita sa akin ng papel na may print ng mga yoga poses.
