CHAPTER 2

Abala si kendra sa pag i-sketch ng mga bagong design ng bag para sa launch ng newest collection nila.

Shes the owner of the famous Bag brand "CHRISCEL" but only her Best friend/Business partner knows that. She just want to keep it secret for now.

Kring! Kring! Kring! (Mylie Calling)

"Bez, natanggap ko na yung email mo, ang bilis ah, sa loob lang ng isang buwan nakapag design ka na agad ng 10 bags, mukha atang nakapag pahinga ka ng bongga. I'm sorry pala kung di ako nakapunta sa libing ni tita, biglaan din kasi yung atake ng lola ko kaya di namin maiwan."

"Ok lang yun bez, naintindihan kita, hows lola?"

"She's getting better, maybe next week I can visit you. When are you planning going back here in Paris?"

"I still don't know, I need to fix some papers regarding mama's assets here."

"Then we can have a great time there when I come. Let's paint the town red since you're not that busy at all and did not sign any modelling contract yet. This is your life now, live it to the fullest. There's no one who will tell you to do things you don't like. Your free now, let's boy hunt and date some hot guys."

"You know having a boyfriend is not on my mind right now."

"I'm only saying lets go on a date, if you find a great guy you like, then that's better, if not then be a nun and start praying for me to have a love life. Duh! I don't wanna die virgin like you."

"Hahaha! Your crazy, that's happened when you always go on dates but end up still NBSB."

"That's why we are best friend!"

"I know right!"

"Madami daw hunk guys dyan. Can’t wait to party with them"

"As if naman walang ganun dyan, e lagi nga sila mga kasama mo."

"Hmp! kahit ikaw nga walang nagustuhan sa mga boys dito. Kahit napapalibutan ka ng mga nag gagwapuhan at sexing mga lalaki"

"Choosy ka kasi." Saad ko kay Miley

"Ako pa talaga ah. Ikaw kaya yun. Don't tell me inaantay mo padin yung batang nag alok sayo ng kasal dati. Bez naman, sa dami ng tao sa mundo, sa tingin mo makikita mo pa yun, baka nga may asawa at anak na yun ngayon at nagbago nadin ang mukha nun dahil bata pa kayo nun."

"Hindi ah. Napasok mo pa talaga sa usapan yun. Love life mo problema dito hindi sakin."

"Mas masaya kasi kung sabay tayo."

"Mauna ka na. Hindi ako nagmamadali."

"Baka naman may nakita ka na dyan kaya ayaw mo pa bumalik dito?" tanong ni Miley.

Biglang pumasok sa isip nya ang lalaking may asul na mga mata. Bat ba naalala ko pa yun.

"Ano, bat di ka na nakasagot dyan?"

"Wala noh, Kung meron man sasabihin ko sayo wag ka mag alala."

"Aba dapat lang, kundi magtatampo ako sayo. Pero ok lang kung mauna kang magka love life."

"If I know ikaw ang may inaantay, sino nga ba yun...ah! yung lalaking mapapangasawa mo sana kaso nag back out."

"Grabe sya sakin, kung nakita lang ng lalaking yun ang beauty ko baka yun pa nag aya na makasal kami agad."

"O kaya yung isa pa na crush mo, yung almost boyfriend mo na kaso babaero pala."

"Huwag mo na ipaalala sakin ang lalaking yun."

"Hahahaha, I knew it. Di ka parin maka move on dun. Pano pag nagkita kayo ulit nun?"

"Who you sya sakin."

"Taray! Iba Ka din eh no, baka pag nakita mo ulit yun lunukin mo lahat yang sinasabi mo, you told me his your dream guy, tsaka bigla ka nalang umalis nun at di pa sya nag explain about dun sa nakita mo."

"Bez, wala ng explanation yun. Kitang kita ko na eh. Wag na natin sya pag usapan."

"Whatever!"

"Ok ka lang ba talaga dyan bez, alam kong andyan ang kuya and dad mo pero your alone there and aalis din naman agad si Farah para bumalik dito.

"Ok lang ako, sanay na kong mag isa, lagi akong kinakamusta ni kuya, kulang na nga lang patirahin na nya ko sa bahay nya."

"Mabuti kong ganun. Basta pag may kailangan ka don't hesitate to call me ah.”

"Sure bez. You don't need to worry too much. Im doing good here."

"Okey, you better be girl. Got to go, I have a meeting, I will just update you about my flight details. Love you bez. Take care always."

"Love you too. Take care!"

Knock! Knock!

"Come in Farah!"

"You've been here in your room for so long, just want to tell you that your invited to Mr. & Mrs. Clinton's Anniversary party. I just got the invitation. Please tell me your going, you need to get out in here and mingle with other people and not just your sketch pads, this is supposed to be your time to have fun."

I smiled, since mama died, shes not just my PA but becomes my manager too. She's been with us for a long time, she's just 10 years older than me and been so nice and caring, she treat me so well and made sure I'm always good. I'm her only family since she's from orphanage.

"Ok, we will be there." Sabay kuha ng invitation dito.

Nang maiwang mag isa ay itinuon niya ang atensyon sa imbitasyong hawak.

Pupunta ba talaga ako? Tanong nya sa sarili.

Maybe it's a good idea to go to that party and have fun. She'd been busy this past weeks dahil sa business. Oras na para aliwin naman nya ang sarili.

Alam nyang pupunta dun ang kuya at daddy nya kasama ang asawa nito. Siguradong marami ding kilalang tao sa lipunan ang pupunta dun. Maybe I got the invitation because of my mom. She loves to party. Kilala nya ang mag asawang Clinton.

Kendra took a deep breath before rummaging her closet looking for a dress to wear. Nang makapili siya ng isusuot ay namili naman sya ng sapatos, inisa isa nya ang mga ito at pumili ng babagay sa damit na napili nya.

Napatingin sya sa orasan at nakitang may ilang oras pa bago mag simula ang party. Ipinikit nya ang mga mata at pinilit makatulog. Hindi kasi sya makatulog ng maayos kagabi dahil sa mga pumapasok sa isip nya.

NANG matapos mag ayos ng buhok at maglagay ng make up ay tinawag na nya si Farah para maka alis na sila. Kaagad naman silang nakarating at napahanga sya sa disenyo ng mansion na nasa harapan.

Huminga sya ng malalim at taas noong naglakad palapit sa bantay at ibinigay dito ang imbitasyon.

"Enjoy the party maam.” nakangiting bati ng lalaki na tumanggap ng imbitasyon at ginaya na sila papasok sa loob kung san ginaganap ang party.

"Kendra babe! I can't believe I will see you here, I though you just want to stay at home."

"Kenzo, it's so nice to see you here too, since no one here is familiar, only mama knows them, well I decided to go out and have fun."

"That's better Babe, by the way, mom and dad are here too. Dad is calling you but you're not answering his calls, they are worried about you." Then he hug me tight.

"I just open my phone, I don't like anyone calling me about work."

"Love, who is she?"

Behind him, I saw a beautiful woman same age as me.

"Love, this is Kendra, Babe, this is my girlfriend Ericka."

"Babe?"

"Love, don't get me wrong, She’s a close friend, like my little sister, I just call her babe since I met her long time ago. Nakasanayan ko lang."

"Ok. As you say so."

"Nice to meet you Ericka. Don't worry, his like a big brother to me."

She smile at me but I know she don't like the idea how her boyfriend is close to me. That's what I always feel every time Kenzo introduce me to his girlfriend. They think im a threat but if only they know the truth.

"Love, lets go, I saw some of my friends, ill introduce you to them."

"Are you fine here alone babe?"

"Yeah, Farah is here too, she just answered a phone call."

Bago umalis ang magkasintahan ay nakita ko pa ng irapan ako ni Ericka. But still I think I like her for my brother because she looks decent than his other exes. I just hope she makes him happy and contented. My brother is kinda player since he have the looks and money. Girls always throw them self to him.

"Kendra!"

"Senator .. Madam."

"Iha, how are you? Why are you not accepting our calls?"

"Sorry po, nakapatay po kasi yung Phone ko, okey naman po ako."

"I know your busy but please have time to visit us, I miss you darling." Sabay yakap sakin ni Tita Kristine. Shes my dad's wife. Shes so nice to me. Sometimes naiisip ko sana sya nalang ang naging mama ko, napaka bait nya at mapag mahal, nahihiya ako sa kanya sa nagawa ng mama ko na tangkaing sirain ang relasyon nilang mag asawa, pero sa kabila ng lahat napaka bait parin nya sakin at di nya ko tinuturing na iba. Everytime na pinapayagan ako ni mama na sumama kay dad ay tuwang tuwa sya, dahil naalala nya sakin ang bunso nyang anak na namatay.

"I’ll visit tomorrow if that's fine with you."

"I’ll love that. Let's cook and bake together. It's been a long time since we had a bonding like that."

She taught me how to bake and cook. We have lots of bonding together when I’m in grade school, nung mga time na pumapayag pa si mama na mag stay ako ng matagal kasama sila dad. Minsan, sinasama nila ako sa mga trips nila abroad. But nang mapansin ni mama na napapalapit na ko sa kanila, hindi na sya pumayag na mag stay ako kila dad kahit 1 day lang. I only see dad just to eat lunch or dinner, no overnight stay. Since then naging busy na din si dad sa mga business and being a senator and me being a model kaya sa phone nalang kami nagkaka usap.

After naming magkamustahan ay may tumawag sa kanila na mga kakilala kaya nag paalam nadin ako para magpunta sa comfort room at pumunta sa labas para hanapin si Farah.

Paglabas ko ng CR ay bumangga ako sa isang tao na kasalubong ko ng bigla akong lumiko.

"Opppps!!! Sorry." sabay naming wika ng nabangga ko.

Muntik na kong masubsob sa sahig kung hindi ako agad nasalo ng nakasalubong ko. Hindi ko kasi sya napansin ng bigla akong lumiko at sumalubong sya sa tapat ko kaya nabigla ako.

Napaangat ang tingin ko sa nagsalita. Ito ang lalaking nagbalik ng cellphone ko. He has a blue eyes that mesmerize me, pointed nose at may cleft chin pa. Over all his super handsome. Kahit na lagi akong may nakikilala na ibat ibang model, iba padin ang dating sakin ng lalaki sa harap ko.

"Done checking on me? Do you like what you see? I can even kiss you if you like."

Dun lang ako nagising sa pagkakatunganga sa mukha nya. Mabilis ko syang tinulak sa pagkakahawak sakin.

"Next time be careful." Saad nito.

"Yeah right! Hindi ka kasi tumitingin sa dinadaanan mo." Ang hambog! Inis na bulong ko para di nya maintindihan saka tumalikod.

"Hwaa! Ako pa ngayon ang may kasalanan? Look miss, ikaw itong di tumutingin, pasalamat ka nga sakin kung hindi baka kanina ka pa nakipaghalikan sa sahig."

Natigilan sya ng marinig itong magtagalog.

Great! He understands and can speak tagalog.

"Excuse me mister arogante, hindi ko sinabing saluhin mo ko. Kung hindi ka kasi busy sa cellphone mo, eh di sana napansin mo na may makakasalubong ka. Wag ka kasing palakad lakad na parang ikaw lang ang tao sa mundo."

"Is that what I get from saving you?"

Hindi ko na ito pinansin at agad na umalis dahil sa pagkapahiya. Shocks! Bat ba ko natulala sa lalaking yun, at bat ang bilis ng pintig ng puso ko. Ang kapal naman ng mukha ng lalaking yun, gwapo nga, ang sama naman ng ugali.

"Where have you been? Kanina pa kita hinahanap." Salubong sakin ni Farah ng makabalik ako.

"Nag cr lang ako."

"Are you ok, you don't look good?" tanong ni Farah.

"Is it ok if we go home?" Tanong ko dito. Dahil sa lalaking nakita ko kanina ay nawalan na ko ng ganang maki party.

"Of course, you know id rather sleep than partying.”
