"Oh Hello there!" pagbati ni Jennie Katigbak na manager ni Jane paglabas na paglabas niya sa kanilang bahay dahilan para sumimangot ang batang actress "You look like shit" Jennie added making the other one to roll her eyes
"Alam ko dahil wala pa kong tulog" Jane said at sinuot ang kanyang shades habang hinihigit ang kanyang maleta at iniabot ang duffel bag na naglalaman ng kanyang mga gamit kay Jennie "Bakit? Diba sabi ko sayo mag beauty rest ka!"
"Sinaulo ko yung revision ng script na sinend kagabi medyo may pagbabago sa details about sa transformation nung hero"
Jennie nodded habang nilalagay niya ang mga gamit nito sa trunk ng kotse "Nga pala sabi sakin ni Tita nilagnat ka daw after nung twelve hours shoot three days ago" Umiiling siya sabay dagdag ng "Kung ako sayo lalaklak na ko ng limang bote ng multi vitamins dahil dibdiban tong lock in taping na gagawin"
Bago pa man magsimula ang araw ni Jane ay nagpakawala na ito ng buntong hininga at pinili nalamang manahimik habang inaalala ang mga pangyayari noong unang taping nila ngunit ang kanyang isipan ay ginapang ng mabibilog at mapangakit na mga tingin ng isang babaeng naka suot ng puting robe habang prenteng nakaupo sa kanyang sofa. The blond streaks on her hair, her jawline that was so inviting and her tempting red lips "Huy ano tatayo ka nalang jan?"
"Oo mas gusto ko nalang maging bato" Naiiling na sabi niya habang sumakay na ng sasakyan "Eto na bang kotse mo ang gamit natin hangang bulacan?" tanong niya nung magsimula na silang umandar
"Aba hindi madam, mabuti sana kung ikaw ang magbabayad ng gasolina ko ano?"
Napailing nalamang si Jane sa sinabi ng kanyang manager habang inaalala ang lahat ng paghihirap niya bago niya makuha at masungkit ang superhero main role na ibinigay sa kanya, noong una ay napanghihinaan na siya ng loob dahil mga batikan at kilalang actress ang mga tumapat at nagnais na kumuha ng role na to pero salamat sa babaeng katabi niya ngayon, dahil isa siya sa naging daan kung bakit tinibayan niya ang loob niya at umaasang makukuha niya talaga ang main role, sino ba naman kasing magaakala na ang dating dancer ng isang sikat na noon time show ay magkakakuha ng isang kaabang abang na main role.
"Nakita kitang lumabas sa dressing room ni Ma'am Janella nung unang shooting" Pagbasag ng katahimikan ng kanyang driver "And it makes me wonder kelan pa kayo naging close?"

Sumimangot si Jane ng muling mabangit ang pangalan ng babaeng tatlong araw nang bamagabag na sa kanyang isipan "Hindi" She paused and repeats her answer "Hindi kami close" ani niya habang iniukol ang kanyang mga mata sa kalsada "Jennie"
"Hmm"
"Bakit ang balibalita sa set high mentance daw siya?"
"Sino?"
Taas kilay nalamang na tumingin sa Jane sa sabaw na kanyang kausap "Si Janella" She flatly said
"Ah" Jennie said while she nodded indicanting that she understand the question "Well the rumours started after she dated that guy i don't want to drop some names but he is the son of a legendary rapper" she pause and glance at Jane "Ang dami ng naransan niyang issue ng dahil jan sa on screen romance na nabuo sa kanila behind the camera to the point na naging fuck up na siya that's why she turned into a high maintenance woman" She paused as she maneuvers at the parkings space "Tight,Shut and Guarded" Jennie removes her seatbelt while she added "like for example when it comes to drinks she would prefer Starbucks rather than unbranded Coffee, when it comes to bags she prefers Chanel over Fendi and lastly when comes to boys well it's been two years pero ayon sa chimis na nakuha ko no one as in no one reach her standards, balita balita rin na shaky ang relationship niya with the boyband singer"
"Well hindi naman pala siya high maintenance, chimis lang pala yon" ika ni Jane at bumaba na din ng sasakyan
Jennie raise her brow "Nakikinig ka ba sa mga pinagsasabi ko?"
"She knows her worth, it's weird na people called her as a high maintenance woman just because she knows what she deserves"
Napatigil si Jennie at mukhang natauhan then she shrugged her shoulders and agreed "Sabagay, alam mo naman kasi ang mga tao sa industriyang to kapag pihikan ang isang artista maarte na agad ganon"
Jane shakes her head at tumigil sa isang gray na van ngunit nagtaka siya ng makita niyang direderetso ang kanyang manager sa paglalakad "Hoy! saan ka pupunta eto yung van natin oh" turo niya sa plate number ng van na sinend ng derector kagabi kasabay ng script revision
"Doon ang van ng managers" Sabay turo sa isang itim na malaking van "For artist ang van na yan tska eight person per van lang ang allowed" Jennie shrugged and points at her mask "Alam mo naman Covid"

Jane nodded and watched her manager's back while carrying her belongings and leaving her behind then she entered the van and sat at the very end "Fuck" dismayadong pamumura niya ng mahulog ang kanyang salamin sa ilalim ng upuan, mabuti nalang siya palang ang tao sa loob at agad siya dumapa sa sahig upang abutin ito, after a few minutes nakuha niya na rin ang salamin pero sa kasamaang palad tumama naman ang kanyang ulo sa armrest ng van "Putangina" naiinis na sabi niya dahil sa sunod sunod na kamalasang dinadanas niya.
"Your very clumsy do know that?" A thick yet velvet voice said as she sat down while Jane lifts her head and saw the beauty in her gloriousness "Hi" Jane said while grinning at hawak hawak ang ulong nauntog
Janella gave her a timid nod then she look away and hide the smile on her lips.

Ang unang scene ay mangyayari sa ibabaw ng burol pagkatapos noon ah pupunta na sila sa isang barangay area na inupahan ng kanilang production team para sa lock in taping. Tahimik na nagbabasa si Jane ng script habang ang mga tao sa unahan ay panay ang kwentuhan pero ang katabi niya naman ay nanatiling tahimik at nakapikit ang mga mata habang nakasalpak ang airpods sa kanyang tenga.
Jane let out a sigh while she closed her script at pinili na lamang na hayaang sumunod ang kanyang katawan sa nais gawin ng kanyang utak at yon ay ang walang hiyang pagmasdan ang dalaga sa kanyang tabi. She let her eyes wander at the bareface beauty of Janella. She is pretty with her full on make up but I think she's prettier without it she thought and continued to study her beauty, her cheeks are red while her skin looks soft and smooth, the tall nose bridge that perfectly fit her beauty, those pink plump pouty lips and her long natural lashes that brush against her cheeks.
Jane lean a little closer to look more but stop when her eyes met with the pair of hazel brown orbs at sa bawat patama ng sinag ng araw sa mga matang tinititigan ni Jane ay para itong kulay ginto at kumikinang sa ganda
"Anong ginagawa mo?" Janella whispered dahilan kung bakit nabalot ng hiya at naginit ang tenga ni Jane. Doon nalamang niya napagtanto na ang lapit na pala ng kanilang mga mukha, ramdam na ramdam niya ang hininga ng dalaga na halos tumama na sa kanyang mga labi kaya't agad siyang lumayo at umayos ng upo at sinabi ang unang dahilan na sumagi sa kanyang isipan "May kabayo kasi sa side ng bintana mo" pagpapaliwanag niya sabay turo sa tanawin "Eh sa side ko kasi puro damo nalang kaya lumipat ako para tignan yung mga animals"dagdag niya pa habang napapangiwi sa pinakapanget na palusot na narinig niya sa buong buhay niya.
Kunot noong nakatingin sa kanya si Janella, eyes full of amusement kaya inilipat ni Jane ang kanyang attention "Zaijian" ani niya sabay kalibit sa binatang nasa unahan "Anong sabi ni Direk sa Call kanina? Malayo pa ba tayo?"
"Malapit na tayo ate, yung ibang crew nasa area na daw at nagseset up ng tent" he answered while looking back at the two ladies
Jane nodded "Oh okay thank you" tumango si Zaijan at muling lumingon sa harapan habang kunot noong nilingon ni Jane ang kanyang katabi na bulgaran siyang tinititigan "Bakit ka ba nakatingin?" She whispered faking her irritation but behind that was the blood pumping and heat spreading sensation that made the butterflies to roam around her belly.
Sinalubong ni Jane ng tingin ang mga matang unti unti siyang tinutunaw sa hiya, ang mga matang tatlong araw na gumugulo at bumabagabag sa kanyang pagkatao. Minsan napapatanong siya, kaya ba ganito ang nararamdaman niya ay dahil naiilang pa siya rito? Kaya ba siya ganito kasi nahihiya siya sa nangyari noong first shoot nila together?
Napatigil ang pagtitig niya kay Janella ng narinig niya ang pagbukas ng pinto ng van then she divert her eyes sa mga kasamahang nagbabaan na at ang babaeng mataray sa kanyang tabi ay bumaba na rin suot ang napalaking shades na halos matakpan na ang kanyang buong mukha.
Bago magsimula ang shoot ay tumawag muna si Jane sa lahat ng santo na kanyang kakilala upang bigyan siya ng lakas ng loob na wag maging tatanga tanga sa harap ng babaeng to dahil nanghihina ang kanyang tuhod sa mga tinginan niya na hindi naman maintindihan ni Jane kung ano ang mga nais na ipahiwatig.
