With the cold breeze of the Christmas air and the aiming rain silently pouring in the sideways, Ellaine doesn't know how to react while watching her long time boyfriend Andy on the flat screen tv having an interview with one of its female lead Tasha for their upcoming movie entitled The walking rain.
Her tears can't stop from falling hearing her boyfriend's words that they are not in the relationship. That is a total burned from her and the very big slapped in her face. Ni hindi pa nga niya nakausap iyong binata patungkol sa hindi nila pagkakaintindihan noong nakaraan ay heto na kaagad ang sumalubong sa kanya.
The vision of Andy's sparkling eyes while supporting it's right hand to the female lead actress ay tuluyan nang napahagulhol ang dalaga. She was intently sobbing while looking directly at the television where her boyfriend Andy having an interview.
"What's the real score between you and the famous model in Asia, Ellaine Mildrid Montero who is now on standby due to her reasons for resting uptight?"
Tanong ng isa sa pinakasikat na showbiz reporter habang nakaabang ang mga fans nito na hinaharangan ng mga bodyguards na nakaambang pumasok makasalamuha lamang ang sikat na actor at actress. Tasha on the other side keeps on waving her hands towards the fans reasons why the people are now very much eager to enter the lobby where her boyfriend Andy was being reported.
Ugh! No. It's Ex. Her ex boyfriend.
Sandaling tumahimik ang paligid at ang napakatamis na ngiti ng dating nobyo ay napaka visible sa mga mata nito. Tiningnan nito ang katabing si Tasha na noon ay nakatingin rin pala rito dahilan na hindi magkandamayaw sa pagsigaw ang mga manonood.
"I think everyone of you here thinks that we are in a very intimate relationship but no. We are not like the same couple that you think we are."
Sagot ng dating kasintahan dahilan na napahiyaw muli ang mga fans. Pasimpleng pinahiran ni Ellaine ang nagbabadya na namang mga luha gamit ang isang pumpom na tissue na nakapwesto sa kandungan ng dalaga. Hindi alam kung paano simulan ang isang magandang umaga para sa isang babaeng dene ny sa harapan mismo nang madla.
"But there are some rumors spreading that the two of you are spotted dating outside the country while having dinner with some old friends."
Lumabas sa isang screen monitor ang mukha nilang dalawa kasama ang mga mutual friends na noo'y namutawi ang totoong ngiti sa mga mata. That was captured a month ago noong nagyaya si Andy na lumuwas sa ibang bansa upang magbakasyon. Tahimik lamang na pinagmasdan ni Ellaine ang reaksyon ng dating kasintahan.
"Unfortunately, that was a friends night out nang gabing nag yaya ang magbabarkadang magbakasyon sa ibang bansa. And of course, Ellaine as the famous model in Asia came to the picture due to our mutual friends who invited her to came in"
Sinungaling! Bunsod sa narinig mula sa dating kasintahan ay nagpasya si Ellaine na patayin ang TV dahil ayaw na niyang marinig mula sa mga labi nito ang iba pang kasinungalingan na ihahayag nang lalaki.
Tinungo ni Ellaine ang teresa nang Condominium niya kung saan malaya siyang napagmasdan ang kabuuang ganda ng lugar. She licked her lips while mesmerizing the though of what her ex boyfriend said while having an interview. Hayop! Ni hindi man lang sila nagkaroon nang pormal na hiwalayan bago sana nito ibinunyag ang rebelasyong hindi siya nito nobya.
Ellaine stopped in her reverie when the phone on her pocket rang randomly. Kaagad iyong kinuha nang dalaga bago sinagot ang tawag.
"What's with the interview of Andy's just now, Ellaine. Did you break up?" It's her manager, Bailey.
"Umm! We don't have a formal broke up yet, but—"
"Naku naman, Ellaine. Ang dami nang tumatawag sa Agency mo patungkol sa issue na 'to. Please be quick and solve this comotion right now."
"What should I say? Even Andy doesn't think normally while spreading that damn news that we are not in a relationship."
"I will schedule an interview for you. And please clean your name, you know what are the rules and regulations in our company." Ellaine sighed heavily like there's no another option rather than this one.
"Prepare yourself for a day starting today. You will be having a press conference."
"O—okay!" Nasabi nalang niya bago kaagad na pinatay iyong tawag. Tatlong minuto pa lang ang dumaan ay nag ring na naman ang cellphone niya at nang matingnan sa caller ID kung sino ang tumawag ay kaagad na sinagot ni Ellaine iyon bago marinig ang napakatinis na boses mula sa kabilang linya.
"Hoy babae. Ano na namang issue ang kinalaman mo ngayon ha? Atsaka ano iyong pinagsasabi ni Andy sa interview, naghiwalay na ba kayo?"
"Ash. Ang narinig mo mula kay Andy sa interview ay gawa gawa lang. Alam kong fascinated lang siya sa katambal niya ngunit—"
"Oh ano? Pinagtatanggol mo na naman ang isang iyon. Aba El, hindi lang ito ang kauna unahang pagkakataon na nasangkot ka sa issue gawa niyang boyfriend mo—este ex boyfriend pala."
"Have you forgot, dalawang beses sa buwang ito isiniwalat lang naman nang ex boyfriend mo na nakuha ka na raw niya which is ang totoo—"
"Ash. Please, ayaw ko na munang makarinig nang kahit anong kinalaman kay Andy. I need some space. I need to rest. I need to stop myself to feel this unbearable pain." Narinig ni Ellaine ang napakalalim na buntong hininga nang kaibigan mula sa kabilang linya.
"I'm coming Ellaine. Don't just burst out.' sa sinabing iyon nang kaibigan ay napahawak si Ellaine sa hamba nang teresa nang maramdaman muli ang pananakit ng dibdib.
Andy was her long time boyfriend at tinapos lang nang isang interview nang damuhong iyon ang relasyon nila without her knowing na planado na pala nito ang lahat. While browsing in the social networking sites nalaman ni Ellaine na habang sila pa ay palihim rin palang nag de date itong dalawa. May nakaantabay pang picture na nakuha mula sa isang sikat na photographer habang ginagawa ang photo shoot bilang book cover ng dalawa para sa darating nitong pelikula.
Digging deeper in her related searches, naagaw ang atensyon ni Kelly nang may isang group page ang bahagyang profile picture ang dalawa. She quickly clicked the site and then she's beaming the reliable sources and evidence that Andy and Tasha are now officially the real time couple habang sila pa nga. Maraming comments ang naroon at marami ring shares. May iba pa ngang nagpahayag nang saloobin at hindi napigilang magkomento patungkol sa kanilang dalawa na pakiwari'y niya ay fan nang loveteam nila ni Andy.
"What about the Andy—Ellaine relationship now. I am shipping those two, why just for this once may new ka loveteam na naman iyang si Andy."
"Same here. Nasasayangan ako sa kanilang dalawa. But we all know the real status of actors and actresses behind the scenes. Baka one of the act lang 'to. I stand for Andy—Ellaine relationship. Mas bagay sila."
​
Dahil sa nabasang iyon na komento ng mga fans ay hindi mapigilan ni Ellaine ang sarili sa pagtipa nang saloobin. She entered the text shes expecting to send herself before clicking the comment section button and it posted.
Kaagad na nag out si Ellaine nang makitang nakapublic pala iyon dahilan na umani nang napakaraming likes at comments ang ipinaskil niyang komento roon. Napasandal si Ellaine sa headboard nang kama bago tuluyang isinarado ang laptop at napapaisip kung bakit nga ba ito nangyari.
Enough for this day, maybe Andy is not that really enough for her that their relationship ends up like this and gone for long. Or maybe she's the one who's lacking? She doesn't know herself. But there's one thing she justifies her motto she made today and that is to not let herself from falling in love with the Adhan for the second time again because at the end of the day she knows that she's the one who left behind and remained unspoken.
After being dramatic with what her ex boyfriend did to her. Ellaine deactivated all of her accounts related online upang hindi na niya tuluyan pang maka communicate ang dating kasintahan. And that is the best decision she made in her entire life. Pagbigyan muna niya ang sarili upang makaraos sa delubyong dulot ng kanyang dating nobyo. She would never let herself being connected with that jerk. Never.
Nang makarinig nang sunod sunod na katok ay kaagad tinungo ni Ellaine ang pintuan at iniluwal niyon ang kaibigang si Ashley na may dalang malaking pasabog para sa katulad niya ang nais pang umusbong ang career.
"They are now hiring some famous female models upang maging representative sa gagawing fashion show roon sa Singapore. Girl, this is your chance. Grab mo na."
Kaagad na kwento nang kaibigang si Ashley pagkatapos niya itong papasukin sa sariling Compound. Ellaine can't decide yet lalo pa't on leave pa siya ngayon dahil gusto niya munang mag relax at makapag pahinga man lang. She herself personally signed the contract wherein she will not be able to join any fashion shows or any product endorsement it's because she wants to calm herself over the resulted issue she was involved.
"Hay ano ka ba naman, syempre next month pa iyon may natitira ka pang mga araw upang bawiin ang kontrata mo."
Tudyok muli nang kaibigang si Ashley ngunit sumagi na naman sa isip ang sinabi nang Manager na si Bailey na mayroon siyang dadaluhang press conference upang linawin patungkol sa issue sa totoong namamagitan sa kanila ng ex boyfriend na si Andy. Masyado nang pre occupied ang utak niya upang paunlakan pa ang alok nang kaibigan.
"Anong hindi, hoy babae. Ano sa tingin mo ang ginagawa mo? Magmumukmok nalang dito while you're ex boyfriend is freely wandering around together with his bratty girlfriend. Ay naku! It's time for you to make up."
"Go and fix yourself. Maghanap ka rin nang binatang mas higit pa sa Andy na iyon. Naku kung ako lang talaga ang may ganyan ka sexy na katawan. Ipu push ko na talaga."
Napangiti nalang si Kelly sa tinuran nang kaibigan. May parte sa kanya na gustong sumali sa fashion show ngunit ang panahon na mismo ang nagbigay sa kanya
ng isang matinding hamon dahil nga ay hindi pa siya maaaring makadalo sa kahit anong pagtitipon. Gayunpaman, nang sumapit ang pinakaasam asam ni Ellaine na press conference ay bahagya pa munang iginupo nang dalaga ang sarili bago tumulak sa nasabing venue. Wearing her dashing aesthetic outfit and the sunburned shades, Ellaine confidently walk in the hallway while different flashes of cameras met her gaze. Some of her supporters are shouting her names while saying the words that she can overcome the pain.
Tama iyon. Hindi niya hahayaan ang sariling manatili sa isang memorya na dulot nang kanyang kahapon. She would probably work hand in hand inorder for her to successfully commit the word from moving on due to the issues she'd face with the unnecessary movement of her ex boyfriend.
Nang tuluyang makatapak sa entablado ay iginala ni Ellaine ang tingin at samu't saring mapanuring mga mata ang nakamasid sa kanya. Her supporters keeps on chanting her name with the lyrics of the famous boyband that is really fit with her taste.
