MERIDA'S "Of course, everyone is fascinated about life, and I am wondering about the lovelife of the famous singer and actress Merida Salazar," the host said, smiling at me before turning to face the camera and continuing to speak. "And now that she is in front of us, even if this interview is just brief, I am grateful that our idol, Merida, has given us the opportunity to interview her now, even if it is brief. So let's get started. I'll only ask you three questions, Merida." When he looked at me, I nodded, and he returned his gaze to the card he was holding, reading the questions he was about to ask. "The first is. How do you feel that your concert ends well tonight?" "Sobrang saya po. As in super duper. I really didn't expect that many people will really come and watch my concert. I can even see my fans carrying banners and many more, it feels so good to see them enjoying and having fun." "Imagine millions watching your concert and it's good that they all fit there right? So what can you say to your fans?" so I looked at the camera and smiled ng walang halong plastik at hindi pinansin ang joke niya. "First and foremost, I want to express my gratitude to God and my parents for their unwavering support, especially to Merida Fanatics and MeriKheynatics, as well as all of my fans who support me, especially my international fans. I love you guys and I really appreciate your unwavering support. thank you because you always make me feel your love and I wouldn't be where I am if it wasn't for you all. So from the bottom of my heart, I love you all." "And here is my last question that everyone is waiting for the most.. may nagpapatibok naba sa puso mo? Or na inlove kana ba merida?" I laughed at his question and answered it quickly and without hesitation "Yes" na ikinasiwik naman ng lahat lalo na ng host tiningnan naman ako nito na para bang nanunuya maya maya naman ay pinanlakihan ako nito ng mata and pretended to whisper to me but it was also enough for everyone to hear what he said "Kilala ba namin to? Hindi ko talaga to inaano pero si Marco Khey Santiago ba to?" napatawa naman ako ng nag si ingay at cheer nanaman ang mga tao sa loob ng studio at tinaas ang mga tarpulin na dala ng mga ito at banner na may mukha ng aking ka love team na si khey lalo na ng sagutin ko ang tanong nitong 'secret' "Good job merida!" sabay thumbs up ng aking manager ng matapos ang interview sakin habang ako ay nginitian nalang din ito at pagod na sumakay na sa van ng bigla kong naalala ko ang tanong sakin ng host kanina.. Nag mahal naba ako? I leaned my back on the car chair and closed my eyes remembering a happy and sad memory "Ang panget mo" "Umalis ka nga! nababadtrip ako sa pagmumukha mo" "Feeling mo maganda ka?" "Ano bang pinagmamalaki mong panget ka ha?" "Kung tutuusin mas maganda pa sayo si betty la fea eh" "Wag ka ngang dumikit sakin!" "Nagsusuklay kapa ba?" "Naghihirap naba kayo? dinaig pa ng damit mo damit ng lola ko ah?" "Hoy apat mata! ilan to?" "Sobrang lamig ba? wagas ka maka long sleeve ah?" "Ang liit mo duwende kaba?" "Ikaw lang ang kilala kong nerd na ubod na panget" "Ampon kaba? ang panget mo" "Buti nalang may laman yang utak mo" "Habang buhay kanang mag isa kasi walang magtatangkang patulan ka!" "Pasalamat ka kapatid ka ng bestfriend ko kung hindi di ako mag chachaga na makasama at makita ang pagmumukha mo araw araw" "Pwede ba Timothy? manahimik ka nga!" sabay sara ng libro ko at nilagay ito sa bag ko at nag simula ng lumakad "Ang kapal naman ng mukha mo na mag walk out no?" Sabay pigil nito sa braso ko at pinaharap ako sakaniya Siya si Timothy bestfriend ng kuya ko "Oh? nag aaway nanaman kayo?" "Siya kasi kuya eh! dada ng dada dinaig pa si mama" sabay duro dito "Kasalanan mo kasi sobrang panget mo manang!" "Hey dude! kapatid ko parin yang kinakausap mo" "Oh merida ready kana ba? tara na?" napamulat ako ng mata at tinanguan na lamang ito at sinundan ito papasok sa malaking building ng boss namin ni manager park Ng mapahinto ako ng mabuksan ng PA ko ang pinto at nakita ang isang taong kinasusuklaman ko na isa sa mga naka upo sa mahabang mesa "Merida" he called my name softly but enough for everyone to hear I looked at him and his eyes were full of sadness He looked at me but I looked at him without emotion Anong akala niya? Madadala niya ako sa acting niya? Ang kapal naman ata ng mukha niya "Do you know each other?" felix asked in surprise but I did not answer it and just turned my attention to the man in front of me 6 years ago nag mahal ako Nag mahal ako... Sa maling tao At yung tao na yun ay ang nasa harapan ko Waves of memories from my past began to flood my thoughts. I remembered how much I adored this monster. I was so in love with him that I did things I never thought I'd do. He made me despise myself, insecure about my imperfections, and I blamed myself for being born unattractive and not as attractive as other girls my age. I remembered crying every night because of this person when I was younger. He killed and broke my youthful heart, I remembered. He was the reason I left the Philippines and tried to forget about my past and my life here. I spent many years in Korea and traveled around the world to forget about him. I prayed to God that our paths would not cross, and I pondered about it. But why is he here in the first place? Why is he standing in front of me, staring at me as if he missed me, unhappy, and his eyes screaming emotions and feelings I can't name?.
