Married To A Ruthless Superstar

Chapter 3

Tabita's Point Of View

"They look good together," I said even though I felt jealous inside. I am telling the truth because that is what my two eyes see.

"Are we leaving, Tabi? I can tell Firri that you don't feel well or you're dizzy."

I turned to Rika and looked at her. "No, Rika, I'm fine. We're not leaving. I know that Khairo will ignore me as if we don't know each other."

"Are you sure?"

"Yes, Rika. I'm going back to our table." I immediately walked away and returned to our table, Kenzo immediately stood up as if he had been waiting for me.

"Firri is going to introduce us to someone," said Kenzo. I raised my eyebrows and looked at Firri. She just signaled us to wait and suddenly she left.

"Who is that?"

"I don't have any idea." I heard Kenzo say.

"Hey, Tabi and Kenzo! Meet Khairo and Monica. I know that you already know each other but it's good to introduce yourself, right?" Firri said smiling as Khairo and Monica were by her side. Khairo just had a poker face while Monica was smiling.

"Hello, I'm Kenzo, nice to meet you, Khairo and Monica." When Kenzo introduced himself. Khairo just nodded while Monica smiled. Kenzo suddenly looked at me as if giving me a signal to introduce myself.

"Tabita," I introduced myself. Monica smiled at me.

"Hi! I'm Monica, nice to meet you two. I watched your latest movie, I really like your acting. You also look good together," she said. She's very elegant and powerful, no wonder Khairo will like her.

I smile a little. "Thank you, Monica. I heard that you are making a new movie together, We'll watch it." I said.

"Yeah, we'll both watch it. I'm a supporter of you two in your latest movie. It's like having a girlfriend and a boyfriend in real life," Kenzo laughed.

Monica suddenly turned red, I felt a pain in my heart. What am I doing? I push Khairo away even though it hurts me?

"We're not yet boyfriend and girlfriend but I know we'll get there." Khairo said so suddenly that I became silent and could not speak.

"Oh, really? That's good! We'll support you!" Kenzo said and put his hand on my waist. "I hope we become official too."

I look at Kenzo and smiled. "Of course, I know we'll get there," I said and I heard a loud sigh so I looked at Khairo, he was looking at me seriously.

Monica was going to speak but they were already called so they immediately said goodbye to us and left. I didn't see Firri around anymore either.

I picked up the wine bottle and poured it into the wine glass. Kenzo looked at me strangely.

"I thought you don't want to drink?" he laughed as he watched me fill my glass with wine.

"I changed my mind," I said and quickly drank my glass after filling it

"Hey, take it easy. We have an interview tomorrow," he said and I ignored him because of my heavy feelings right now.

I know I'm jealous of Monica, because she can talk to Khairo whenever she wants, and Khairo wants to talk to her too. Monica makes Khairo stay with her, even though it's part of their job, I can't help but to get hurt. We are not really married but why am I so hurt?

My eyes searched for Khairo and I saw him from the far table, he was laughing because Monica was showing something on her cellphone. He was able to smile and laugh with Monica which never happened whenever we were together.

I'm so jealous of her.

I still remember when I first found out I was going to get married, the first time I yelled at mom out of anger. I was only 23 years old then and I couldn't believe I was getting married. But when I found out that I was going to marry Khairo, my anger immediately disappeared, I loved Khairo since then.

I know when Khairo was told the news that we were getting married he was not happy. So when our two families had a private dinner, when we talked, he immediately said that he didn't want to get married and even more that he didn't want to marry me.

I thought I would feel annoyed or angry because of his harshness with me, but no. I just smiled at him and said we feel the same.

When we first went to the house, he immediately said that we cannot sleep together in the same bed. I just smiled at him when he said that. He keeps telling me that he doesn't want to marry me. I always smile whenever he hurts me with his words.

Maybe he thinks I'm weird because he says hurtful words to him, how can I still smile?

That's why I'm an actress. I'm good at acting and acting not to be hurt is easy for me to do. And I hope he doesn't know that I'm just pretending not to be hurt because I don't want him to know that his words affected me even though the truth is that I can barely breathe and it feels like my heart is being stabbed a million times.

I faced Kenzo and called him, he immediately turned to me.

"I have a question."

"What is it?"

"Am I a wife material?"

He was stunned by me for a few seconds before answering. "Why did you ask that? Of course you are!"

"Do you think there's someone who's willing to marry me even though I'm just like this?" I asked again, he frowned but still answered.

"Yes, and why do you underestimate yourself? You're wife material, by the way." Kenzo said. "Don't you know how many of your fans want to marry you and then you asked me if you're a wife material? Why did you ask that?"

"I feel like I don't really have the qualities of a wife material, you know that. Household work, all I can do is to act," I said. "I don't even know if anyone wants to marry me. So funny, I'm still 26, but marriage is on my mind right away."

"Of course, Tabi. There are people who are ready to marry you."

"I hope so, because I don't want to grow old like this all the time. Of course I also want to get married and have children. How about you? Do you want to get married?" I again poured the wine into the wine glass and drank it quickly.

"Right now, getting married is not on my mind. I just want to focus on my career. But maybe, even I don't want to be in showbiz all the time because it's really draining," he says. "So maybe when I'm old enough, I'll get married."

When 2am came in the morning we went home, when I got home I immediately fell asleep in my room. It's rare that I can sleep well, I'm sure when the shooting for my new movie with Kenzo starts I won't have a good night's sleep.

The next morning my call sign was early because Kenzo and I had an interview today on a TV show. As usual, the questions they ask are the same.

Khairo didn't come home either, when Rika and I left the party he was still there. I don't know if he and Monica went home together. Monica is beautiful and Khairo is not a god that he cannot be attracted to Monica. Maybe they already had s*x.

I laughed at my thoughts. I'm the only one who makes a way to hurt myself.

"Why are you laughing?" Raki asked while fixing my hair, my make up was done and we were just waiting to be called.

"Nothing, I'm just happy." I smiled in the mirror and I saw her frowning

"Your hair is done."

"Thank you, Raki! You're the best!" I said smiling. She just nodded and left. When she left, Kenzo came to me.

"They will ask the same question anyway," he said and it wasn't a question.

I nodded, bored.

"Yes, I really can't understand them. They never get tired of asking about the two of us. We just keep answering them the same over and over again."

"As long as they get some money, they will never get enough. And by the way, has Firri told you about the network's plan?"

I nodded and frowned. "And if we can be a girlfriend and a boyfriend, that would be a big help to both of our careers."

"What do you think about it? I want to know your opinion so please tell me."

"I don't really want to. I don't need too much fame. I don't need to be the number one famous person in the world. And I think differently about relationships, I don't want you forced relationship. And if it's for my career, I'm sorry but I really don't want to do it," I said. "You? What's your opinion about it?"

"Same as you, I don't want to do that for the sake of my career. I'm content with what I have now." I smiled at his answer. I was going to speak more but we were immediately called because the show was about to start.

We immediately looked at each other and nodded. When we went out, I immediately smiled at the camera and Kenzo did the same.

We both sat on the sofa while the interviewer was in front of us and also sat on the sofa.

"Good morning to our guests today, Tabita Gonzalez and Kenzo Pilar," The interviewer said smiling and we immediately greeted back.

"So, I'll ask a question and Kenzo will be the first to answer before you, Tabita. Okay?" Kenzo and I both nodded. "So what have you both been up to lately?"

Kenzo smiled. "I'm working on our TV commercials." I nodded and smiled, I was aware of the camera so I had to smile.

"Yeah, we're working on it."

The interviewer smiled and spoke again. "What can you say about the high ratings of the latest movie of you two? I also heard that your fans supported you very much on this movie."

"I'm so happy because we work hard for that movie. I never thought that we would receive such support from our fans," Kenzo answered and then he looked at me while smiling.

"I'm also happy too, that was probably the most difficult movie we made. I'm so happy 'cause the result of our hard work on that movie was good. Thank you, our fans, and thank you for being tireless when you support us!" I said while smiling. Inside I want to laugh out loud because my face is almost tearing up from smiling.

"So I heard that you two are really close to each other now. Are you a girlfriend and a boyfriend already?" The interviewer asked with a smile. My smile grew wider, this question again. Just over and over again.

"Yeah, because in the last movie we did I got to know Tabi better," he said. "I like her and I want to get to know her even more," Kenzo replied.

I grinned. "We don't rush things like that, we want things to go slowly. We both just go with the flow. And if we get a label, we'll let the media know right away."

The interview ended with my face hurting from smiling. I immediately told Rika that I wanted to go home immediately and she immediately prepared the car. When I got home, I immediately took a shower and went to sleep. I woke up late at night and felt hungry, I went to the kitchen and couldn't find anything to eat.

I left the house wearing my face mask and my hoody. I got into the car and drove fast, why is there no food at home? I didn't even notice that we ran out of stock.

When I got out of the exclusive subdivision, I immediately stopped, there weren't many cars but the road was slippery because it was wet from the rain.

I held my breath because the grocery store that Rika always bought from was closed. I shouldn't really be able to buy at the public store but it's late again and it seems like there's no one around.

I drove further and looked for another open grocery store. I passed the road without lights so I slowly drove slowly but I hit something and I lost control of my steering wheel until my car hit a tree after. I felt my head hit the steering wheel and then because of the impact I lost consciousness.
