Chantall

I am in front of my laptop reading some articles and some posts about the rumor.

'Sandro Marcos and Chantall Davis are dating'

'Hollywood Model Chantall Davis is dating the President's first Son Sandro Marcos'

'Proofs that Chantall Davis and Sandro Marcos is dating'

After two months of that project, ngayon lang talaga lumabas yung chismis na 'to? Really?

Natawa nalang ako.

After that night kasi, Me and Sandro went out and have fun because his stay in New York is just 3 days, so he asked me out, a friendly date. We went shopping and talked about life for a day. We don't have any connections now, it's because of our busy schedules siguro. When he already went back to th Philippines, he dm me on my insta and thanked me kasi sinamahan ko siya dito for 2 days. And then 'yun, wala na.

I opened my door because kanina pa may nagdodoorbell and it's my P.A. and Manager.

"Did you see the rumor?" Ms. Aina asked me so I nodded.

"I told you Chantall, na mag-ingat ka pag may kasama kang lalaki pag lumalabas or kumakain sa labas. You got a lot of bash." Napabuntong hininga nalang ako dahil sa sermon ni Ms.Aina.

"It's okay, we can die it down. Immediately." sabi pa niya habang nakaupo sa sofa ko at ako naman at si Lyka, tahimik lang na nakatayo.

"You know people and internet nowadays, Miss Ain-," she cutted me off immediately.

"See, alam mo naman pala yung takbo ng internet at paparazzi dito. I just don't want your career to fall because of this. Especially yung nalink pa sa'yo, ay yung anak ng presidente!" sanay na ako sa ganito, sanay na ako sa sermon ni Miss Ain everytime na may lumalabas na rumor tungkol sa akin.

"There are a lot of variety and interview shows called me again, so take that chance to clear this mess. Okay?" tumango nalang ako.

"And Ate Chan, don't read negative comments again ha. Please lang, " sabi ni Lyka kaya tumango ako.

They got traumatized because last time that I was linked in a dating rumor, I read all of the comments and mostly in the comments are negative, it affected me, myself, my mental health. I was hospitalized because of my anxiety. But thank God, Miss Ain really is my savior because she cleared everything out, so all I just need to do is to start again. And be myself.

Umalis na sila ng condo, so bumalik ako sa laptop ko and opened some comments.

'Gosh! Gold digger spotted!'

'I hate her, after Dwayne Polland, she targeted Sandro Marcos'

'What a user!'

'She won't be successful on that industry because of her attitude'

'Sl*t'

'What a b*tch'

This are some comments that I've read but I just laughed.

I visited my Facebook and my newsfeed is full of me and Sandro's paparazzi picture in the mall, restaurant and even in the Fashion Show.

Does he knows about it? Should I told him that there's a rumor, spreading about us? Or, baka busy pa siya. I will dm him later about it.

I opened one of the article on the Facebook and some comments make me smile and laugh. Filipino are really funny, especially the young one's. Some tagalog comments are

'Okay, wala na talo na. Uwian na'

'Hay*p ka Sandro! May babae ka pala na kinita sa States! Huwag ka nang umuwi dito ha?! *insert crying emoji's*'

'Arat! Shot! Puno!'

'Sa labas ka matutulog *mentioned Sandro's fb* ha?'

'You betrayed meeee~ and I know that you never felt sorry~'

'Alagaan mo asawa natin Chantall, ha?'

It made me laugh and smile. I don't know why, because back then, I was one of the girls who is commenting on Sandro's picture. Well, I'm using my dummy account pa no.

There are some negative comments and good comments,

My phone rings and there's a roaming number that is calling.

Uhm? Sino 'to? Should I answer this ba? Saan niya nakuha number ko?

Kinakabahan akong kinuha ang phone ko tsaka pinindot ang accept button ng tawag, di ko din alam ba't ako kinakabahan.

I breathe in and

"Yes hello? Who's this?" i asked the caller casually.

"Hi, hey?" I swallowed my own saliva as I heard his voice. His expensive accent and voice. I know who is it.

"Sandro? How did you get my number?" I asked and I heard him chuckled on the other line.

"You gave me your business card, remember?" ay, oo nga pala. I gave him my business card the night before his flight going back to the Philippines.

"Ay, yeah! I remember. But why did you call?" I asked him, is this because of the spreading rumor?

"Uhm-"

"Did you see the rumor? About you? Me? us? Dating daw?" I asked.

"Uh, yeah! That's why I called. Are you okay? I'm sorry for putting you on this situation. " I felt guilty na because he was sorry. I should be the one who say sorry.

"Yeah, I'm okay! I am in this industry for almost 2 years so I'm used to it. How about you? Are you okay?" I asked him sincerely, I am so guilty kasi, he's so busy pa naman SA work niya and then nilagay ko siya sa situation na ito.

"Yeah, I'm good. I am just worried about you." napangiti naman ako. Ang sweet talaga ng lalaking 'to. Swerte magiging girlfriend nito.

"Thank you for the concern. And uhm, don't worry, I will fix this situation okay? I will clean this mess." I assured him.

"It's okay, just let it die down. Just focus on your work, okay? And don't read the comments." napatango nalang ako habang sinasabi niya 'yun na akala mo makikita niya yung pagtango mo.

"Yeah, you din! Focus on your work, don't worry about it, about me."

"Yeah, sure! Thank you, Chan! I got to go, I have some works to do."

"No worries, thank you din, babye." I said and ibinaba na yung call.

I am wearing a terracotta flare pants and a white tank top partnered with my 4 inches stiletto for my interview. They tied my hair in a messy ponytail and  a minimal make up so that I look good on the cameras and light.

"No wonder why the Philippine President's Son dated you." The makeup artist told me as he put some gel on my hair.

"How many times do I have to tell you that he is just a casual acquaintance. We're not dating, there's nothing in between us." I told the makeup artist and she just make face like 'okay-fine-kunware-naniwala-ako'

"The show's gonna start in 1 minute, please prepare." The stage director told us and I raised a thumb on him telling that I'm ready.

Miss Aina went on me and hold my hands and flashed her smile.

"You can do this." I smiled back at her and hugged her.

"Thank you Miss Aina, Lyka." saad ko and ngumiti naman sila sakin.

"You're welcome. You see? That's how me and Lyka loves you." my heart melted on her words that she said.

"I love you too, " I hugged them both and sakto naman tinawag na ang name ko ng interviewee.

"Wow! There are a lot of fans that is waiting for our guest today. Please welcome, Model, Brand Ambassadress, and an Influencer! Miss Chantall Davis!" I went up on the stage wearing my sweet smile.

"Wow, Chantall! You look so stunning tonight!" Mr.Jimmy Fallon said so I laughed.

"Oh thank you, Jimmy. It's an honor to be here on your show. Thank you so much for inviting me," I greeted him and have a beso-beso with him.

"Hi everyone, thank you so much for being here." I greeted the audience and they shrieked.

I sat on the couch facing Jimmy and we talked about my career, my life, my experience on shows, runways, Fashion Weeks and funny moments that we have.

"Oh, and by the way, there's a rumor that is spreading for a week that you are dating the President of the Philippines first son, Uhm. Sandro Marcos? Am I right? Sandro Marcos?" I smiled and nodded.

"Yes, Mr.Sandro Marcos."

"Is there something in between the both of you? Are you dating? Some rumor also said that you're pregnant with his son." natawa nalang ako sa isa pang chismis na kumalat na buntis daw ako, hay jusko!

"Hahahahah! Jimmy, there's nothing in between us. We are not dating, he is my casual acquaintance from the Fashion Show that I have last two months and he is also invited." I answered casually.

"So how about the pictures that the two of you are eating together on a restaurant, and shop on the mall. There is also a photo that he is holding your hand and hugging you." napabuntong hininga nalang ako.

"Remember, if it hurts, don't deny." Jimmy said that's why I laughed.

"Hey! I'm not hurting because I am denying that we are dating. Hahahaha!"

"So here's the story, we met on the show, the staff introduced me to him because I am a Filipina so on the show, we talked and have small chitchats. His stay here is just for 3 days so he asked me if I can accompany him because he doesn't have some connections here, so of course, I said yes and we went on malls, restaurant. And all I can say when I was with him in just 2 days, his girlfriend or his wife will be so lucky to have him because he is so gentleman." I said,

"Aww! I hope you're his future girlfriend so that you will be lucky." nanlaki naman yung mata ko, gosh! Baka mapanuod niya to and misinterpret niya.

"Hey! Hahahaha!" ang tangi ko lang masabi.
