Agápi Series #1: Final Walk

Final walk 41

Nasa agency ako ngayon dahil nakabalik na ako at may rehearsal kami, after rehearsal i a-announce ni Maeve ang may ari ng agency s***h manager naming lahat ang bagong rules and regulations at iba pang bagay na mababago sa agency

"Oh my gosh! Alam mo ba kung sino ang manonood ng rehearsal natin ngayon!?" I heard one of my co model ask, she's Freya

"Sa reaction mo pa lang mukhang alam ko na kung sino," natatawa naman na sabi ni Clara

I wonder who are they talking about bakit parang excited na excited sila?

"I heard that too, sana nga totoo! Ang tagal ko ng gustong makita ng personal ang itsura niya at ng malapitan!" sabat naman ni Delilah

Because of curiosity ay lumapit ako sa kanila aftet wearing my heels, napangiti naman sila saakin

"Hi Diana!" I am their senior at sobrang lapit ko sa mga bago naming models kaya ganon nalang din kagaan at kaaliwalas ang approach namin sa isa't isa

"Sorry but who are you talking about?" kunot noong tanong ko

"Hindi mo ba narinig?" nagtatakang tanong ni Delilah na inilingan ko naman

"It's Si!" (pronounced as Psy) pilit ko naman na inaalala kung sino ang tinutukoy nila

"The highest super model in our country especially here in Aurora," bigla ko naman ng naalala ang tinutukoy nila

"Oh! that Si?" lagi ko lang naririnig ang tungkol sakanya pero hindi ko rin siya totally nameet pa personally or anywhere kahit sa mga events kasi lagi siyang missing in action

Lagi ko rin naiisip na isearch ang name at itsura niya pero nakakalimutan ko rin dahil sa sobrang busy and nawawala sa isip ko na gawin iyon, ngayon ko lang actually naalala ang tungkol sakanya

"I heard about him before but I haven't meet him yet tho, ans I think it's the first time na pupunta siya ng agency, right?" tanong ko na tinanguan naman ni Freya

"What makes him come here?" curious kong tanong

Why does a highest super model will have an interest to a not so big agency of models? that's something huh

"Narinig ko lang na close sila ni Maeve before, we all know that Maeve was from a huge company before noong nagmomodel pa siya so maybe they're friends, like visiting an old friend, I guess?" sagot ni Hazel na biglang sumulpoy mula sa likuran namin

Oh, I see, so that explains why

"Well checking how's your old friend doing is a kindess thing, I bet this Si is a good person and a good friend because he doesn't forget where he came from and who was he with on his journey before he succeed," nakangiti kong sabi

"And I hope that's also how things will work with all of us!" ngumiti naman sila saakin saka sila lumapit at nag-group hug

"Just like you, you're a lot of steps ahead of us but still here you are hindi kami pinapabayaan, iniiwan, at binibitawan. You're always guiding us and we are where we are right now because of you, of lending us your hand. At ikaw ang nagpakita saamin and nagbigay ng motivation and inspiration to go on with what we started lalo na ng mga panahon na gusto na namin bumitaw so we surely can't and won't forget you Diana, no matter what!" natouch naman ako dahil sa sinabi na iyon ni Freya

"And to add on to that, we met the prince and princess because of you," natawa naman kami dahil sa sinabi ni Clara

"Get ready girls!" sabi ni Maeve saka pumalakpak at pumunta sa harap namin

"I'm sure you all heard about the sudden visit of my old friend," excited naman na humiyaw ang ilan sa mga kasama ko at nagtititili sa kilig

"Totoo nga!" impit na sabi ni Freya na nasa tabi ko kaya hindi ko maiwasan na matawa

They're so cute, parang mga high schooler lang na makikita ng crush

"So do your best and show them especially Si what you've got because there is an another reason why he's here," nagsimula naman ang bulungan at mas lalong na-excite ang crowd dahil sa sinabi ni Maeve

Another reason?

"Narinig kog naghahanap ng partner si Si para sa mga susunod na events and projects niya, baka isa tayo sa pagpipilian!" rinig kong sabi ng isa sa mga kasama ko

Looking for a partner huh?

Well in this industry couples are getting uproar nowadays. People and fans are merging, simping and all. I haven't heard anyone getting link to that Si yet, but I heard that all of his previous partners in some shoots and projects are all looking good together with him, he suits to anyone but he never sticked to only one partner to avoiding simping him to anyone. What's the change of mind now huh? Joining the bandwagon, I guess

"Line up now girls, we will start in a minute," sabi ni Maeve kaya umayos na kami ng tayo at linya

Ako ang pinakauna sa linya kaya ako ang unang lalabas, so I'll be the first one to face that Si and his team and other people who are here to watch our rehearsal. Too sad that Theo can't go because he has a meeting

When Maeve gave us the cue I lift my chin up, fix my posture and started to walk in the stage. When I am already near the stage I looked at the people sitting in front and I refrain myself to show how surprised I am when I saw who's in front of me.

He is Si? Really?

I saw that he's also surprised to see me pero agad din iyong napalitan ng ngisi. Ngumiti naman ako sakanya saka ako tumalikod at naglakad na pabalik

Oh my gosh! Is this for real!?

Agad naman akong lumabas ng backstage at pumunta sa harap, nakita kong tumayo rin siya at papunta na sana sa likod ng magkasalubong kami

"Lore!" tuwang tuwa niyang sabi niya saka ako niyakap

"Simon!" bati ko rin sakanya saka siya niyakap pabalik

"I miss you lady," sabi niya saka ako hinalikan sa noo

"Me too jerk, where have you been?" tanong ko ng makahiwalay ng yakap sakanya

"I've been busy, you know, super model things," natatawa niyang sabi

"Yabang! but!" tinaasan ko siya ng kilay kaya napaatras at napaangat siya ng dalawang kamay

"Woah! What did I do babe?" kunot noong tanong niya

"We've been friends for so long and you never mentioned to me that you're a model even after I told you my plan before to have training and such!" taas kilay kong tanong na kinatawa niya

"Well babe, I don't want to pressure you or anything by saying I am a super model," kibit balikat niyang tanong

"But you could have guided me," did I just state the obvious? well dzuh?

"As if I can even go near you especially when your prince is around," well, he has a point

"Speaking of," sabi niya saka lumingon sa paligid

"Himala wala kang bakod," umiling naman ako saka siya inirapan

"We both are busy these days so," kibit balikat kong sabi

"Anyway you're so good babe, the posture, the walk and you yourself is so great! A full package," inirapan ko lang siya dahil sa sinabi niya

"Too much compliment Mister," natawa naman siya saka ako inakbayan

"Anyway, go back to your seat already alam mo bang nababaliw na mga kasama ko at kanina pa tili ng tili dahil sa kagustuhan na makita and mameet daw ang 'Si' nila," natatawa kong sabi habang siya naman ay sinamaan ako ng tingin

"Kung alam ko lang na ikaw lang pala yang halos ikamatay nilang mameet sana araw araw na kitang hinatak papunta dito, gosh," natatawa ko parin na sabi

"Ikaw lang naman ang di nakakakita ng charm ko," he tsk and rolled his eyes on me aftet saying that

"Wow!" sabi ko lang saka niya hinubad ang jacket niya at pinasuot iyon saakin dahil nakasando lang ako at shorts saka niya hinawakan ang kamay ko at sabay kaming bumalik sa kinauupuan niya kanina kung saan siya humatak ng isang upuan para saakin

Sakto naman na si Freya na ang palabas at agad na nakita ng mga mata niya si Simon kaya todo ngiti ang ate niyo, natatawa nalang ako sa kanila

"Bakit ka nga pala nandito?" I suddenly asked, seryoso lang na nakatingin sa harap si Simon habang nakahawak parin saakin, hindi parin niya binibitawan ang kamay ko.

Theo will probably gone wild if he sees this, these guys really, ugh

"Well first of all, to visit my old friend Maeve," tumango naman ako because I already knew that

"Second one is to personally see who's this Diana that some agency are talking about because they noticed her potential," nagulat naman ako dahil sa sinabi niya

"Me?" kunot noong tanong ko kaya napalingon naman siya saakin

"You are Diana?" nagtatakang tanong niya

"Well dzuh? I am Diana Lorelei and ever since I entered this industry everyone's calling me Diana so iyon narin ang naging stage name ko, why do you went to see me by yourself tho?" hindi naman siya agad nakapagsalita saka natawa nalang bigla

"What a small world huh? well I guess it's a good thing that you're Diana and even if you're not I'll still choose you," sabi niya saka ginulo ang buhok ko

"What do you mean?" nagtatakang tanong ko

"I'm sure you heard about it already. Couples are leading the way in this industry right now and my manager and the company I am in wants me to start a new journey with a specific person to create an uproar. I was actually hesitant but when I heard about this Diana lady I got interested and asked the company for her, didn't even know it was you maybe that's the reason why my attention got caught because even if anonymously my heart can feel you," inirapan ko naman siya sa huling sinabi niya

"Cut the crap Simon, Theo will surely kill you this time," natawa naman siya sa sinabi ko

"We speaking of Theo, I need to ask him about it first and you also need to tell him kung ayaw mong matapos ang career mo. We both know him, he can do it in just a snap," kibit balikat kong tanong

"Kayo na ba?" kunot noong tanong niya

"Hindi but he is my best friend and he is now courting me," bulong ko dahil baka may makarinig

"What!? Naunahan ako doon a," sinapak ko naman siya

"Just kidding but I'm glad na nagpakalalake narin ang isang iyon akala ko habang buhay na yun na torpe e, uunahan ko na sana," napailing nalang ako sa kagagohan niya

"Well then he knew me and rest assured that you'll be safe with me kesa naman sa kung sino ka mapapares so he should agree with it unless he want another guy to be linked on you dahil for sure darating talaga ang araw na the agency will give you someone to pair with you," kibit balikat niyang sabi

"Just talk to him, I will too later," tumango naman siya saka pinaglaruan ang buhok ko

"We actually met last time, hindi ba niya nabanggit sayo?" kunot noo ko naman siyang tinignan

"Where?" nagtataka kong tanong

"That was unintentional, we accidentally met sa company, nung time na kakabalik ko lang ng Aurora and I reported to the company I'm working on," paliwanag niya

"At ano naman ang ginagawa niya doon?" taas kilay kong tanong

"He is not alone, he's with his band members. I bet they went there for an audition dahil nag-open ang company ng audition for their first ever boy band na ilalabas and it's a great opportunity for those na mahal ang musika because Infinite is a great entertainment company, for sure na aangat ang sino mang makakapasok sa kanila," so Theo and his bad mates targeted Infinite? Why didn't ge told me about it?

"Is he still studying?" biglang tanong niya, nagtataka man ay tumango parin ako

"Well then if he got accepted in Infinite he should stop and took the risk for at least one sem because infinite is too strict in their training and preparations for their members debut, instead na mapabayaan it's better to stop than get low grades, pero kung kaya naman niya pwede naman niyang pagsabayin but it isn't advisable kaya rin as much as possible mas gusto ng infinite na mag-hire ng graduated students na unless wala silang choice," paliwanag pa niya

Maybe that's why Theo didn't told me about it but he should at least informed me. Hindi ko rin napansin sa schedule niya na may related sa infinite doon or baka ibang code ang nilagay niya para hindi ko malaman na infinite iyon. Well that's unfair, grabe niya akong pinagalitan noon napapabayaan ko studies ko and now maririnig ko to?

I don't want to jump into any conclusions, I should ask him about it later
