2nd Chase

Chasing Hero

SAM'S

 

 

"CRAP. CRAAAAP. Eto na."

 

Kasalukuyan akong nakaharap ngayon sa TV sa kwarto ko. May inaantay akong i-gi- guest sa morning show ng favorite tv station ko. Syeeet. Excited na 'ko. Parang first time ko lang siya mapapanood sa tv.

 

Five-thirty pa lang, gising na ako. Agad kong inayos ang higaan ko bago binuksan ang tv at itapat ito sa channel kung saan siya mag-gi guest. Mag-te ten minutes na akong nakatutok sa tv nang sa wakas.. ayan na siya!

 

"Para po mas lalo tayong ganahan at ma- inspire ngayong umaga, let's finally have our gorgeous guest. Brace yourselves, ladies. Here goes the charismatic fashion and commercial model of this generation.. Hero Faulkner!" Excited na pagpapakilala ng announcer. Naghiyawan naman na parang wala nang bukas ang audience na nasa studio. Dinig na dinig ang mga chants at "We love you, Hero!" ng mga fans nito.

 

Yep. Cail Hero Faukner is one of the hottest fashion and commercial models in the country, aside from the fact that he's an excellent engineering student and the governor of the College of engineering Executive council. and the varsity captain of our university's football team. Ang great ng love ko no? Hehe. He's currently the in-house model of the finest clothing line in the Philippines, and he does several endorsements on tv. Hindi biro ang maging ganyan ka successful both in career and studies at 20.

 

Nang um-appear ang pinakahihintay ko sa tabi ng host na mag- iinterview sa kanya, parang nag-slow motion ang paligid. Masanay na kayo. Ganito lang talaga lagi pag nakikita ko siya. Baliw lang no? Yiii.

 

Nag- uumapaw talaga sa appeal ang Hero ko. Kuhang-kuha ng camera how coll he walked towards the interview area, his smile, his simplicity na kahit ba dahon ng saging (o kaya ng kalabasa, de joke^^) lang ang isuot, ipagpapalit ko ang isang buong taon kong supply ng chocolates sa ref ko.

 

"Good morning, Hero! How have you been doing?" Unang tanong ng host nang makaupo na sila.

 

He flashed his goddamn y smile before talking. "Good morning everyone.." He slightly motioned his free hand for a wave. The fans screamed even louder. "Good morning din po, Ms. Charlize.. I'm doing really good, 'di masyadong busy and hectic ang schedules."

 

"That's a great news for your fans.. at least alam nilang hindi na s-stress lately and idol nila." She chuckled. "Anyway, there's this news na you've been chosen by one of the leading women's magazine in the country as their cover boy next month.. is it true? Or if it is, will you be accepting the offer?"

 

"Uh, yeah, the news is true.. they actually informed me around two weeks ago, pero di ko pa talaga napag- iisipan lately because I am prioritizing the demands of being a student. Ngayong almost graduating na, kailangang tutok talaga sa pag-aaral." He answered coolly.

 

Napatango-tango ang host. "Why, that's one thing your fans love about you, Studies muna before thorough exposure sa limelight."

 

I smiled at the thought of being an engineer's wife someday. Ahehe. Kinikilig ako lalo pag naiisip ko ang ambisyon ko. ^_^

 

"Everyone is curious about you being in two different worlds.. I mean, how do you manage excelling both being a sought-after model and a student? Not to mention being the governor of your college's executive council.. Man, being one for four-long years require a lot of brain-bugging work and sleepless days!" Makikita sa mukha ng hyper na interviewer ang paghanga sa kaharap. 

 

He humbly chuckled while maintaining in his confident facade.

 

Syet. Parang isang ugoy ng musika lang sa pandinig ang tunog ng tawa niya. Waaa. Bakit ba ako nagkakaganito sa'yo?

 

"It's more of time management, and just keeping myself optimistic about everything I do. Naniniwala kasi ako na everything you want to do is possible and is within reach as long as you feel that it has your heart to make it come true."

 

"Very well said, Hero. Hayaan mo, Magmumuni- muni ako mamaya tungkol diyan." Everyone shared a light laugh. "Now, uh, these girl fans of yours are prying on this question for a long time already, pero ngayon lang ito matatanong sa isang formal interview. It wasn't really answered by you sa mga interviews mo with the paparazzi so.. do you mind if you share a tiny bit of information about your love life? Oh, ayan na. Naghihiyawan na ang mga hitad. Hehehe. Joke lang! Peace!" Natawa na talaga ang buong madla sa loob ng studio. Napailing- iling lang si Hero habang nasa mukha  pa rin ang ngiti. Silence filled the studio for  seconds.

 

Please tell us na wala ka pang napupusuan, or... much worse kung may girlfriend na! Mahgosh! Di na ako humihinga while waiting for his response.

 

Hero stared at the host, and then at the audience and answered, "Someone already has my heart."

 

Daig pa ng kisap-matang naglaho ang energy ko matapos marinig ang sagot niya.

 

"Someone already has my heart."

"Someone already has my heart."

"Someone already has my heart."

 

Napa- HAAAAA??!WHAAT???!My gosh! at Oh,no! ang mga babaeng tagapanood sa sagot ni Hero. Obviously, they are kind of disappointed, sad, and hopless. Pero walang makakadaig sa nararamdaman ko ngayon. It freakin' hurts.

 

*pukpok ulo sa table*

 

Ang tanga ko lang. Siyempre, sa gwapo at talino ba naman ng lalaking yan, eh imposibleng walang nagpapatibok ng puso niya? Tsss. Girlfriend na kaya niya?! Oh, . Ang sakit pala. Di ko man lang inisip na darating talaga ang oras na may magugustuhan siyang babae... o kung meron man, itinatanim ko sa isip na it should be me. I was locked at the thought of him not liking another girl but me. Darn stupidity!

 

Di ko na tinapos ang interview. I just turned the tv off, and get back to sleep. That is, if I can.
