Shanaia Aira's Point of View
THREE days have passed since Shane's debut and she just disappeared.My family still has not stopped looking for her.TV and radio stations are relentless in the news and some have speculated that she has been kidnapped and others say she did eloped with Gerald Coronel.
Other reporters who attended Shane's debut confirmed the news that she did eloped with Gerald because of Gerald's sudden appearance in the middle of the party and then they both disappeared after the party.
We confirmed the news because when we went to Gerald's house the other day, my parents talked to his parents. They said that Gerald called them the day after Shane's debut, he told them that Shane was with him but did not say where they were.
So we hope that one day they will come abruptly and deal with what they left behind.
" Hey, isn't there any news on bestie yet?" Gelo asked me. He huddled beside me in my bed because I was watching tv in my room.
" Gelo, can you move a little? You see, this bed is huge but you squeezed in too much as if this is a single bed. "I complained to him.
" You're so mean baby. Is this your time of the month? he asked and huddled to me even more and he lined his legs with me. I blushed more at what he said. This brute! Why he's even bothered with my monthly period?
" You.. why do you care with my time of the month?" I was annoyed.
" And why not? Am I not the one who often brought your sanitary pads when your period hits you in school? " he said imprudently.
I blushed at his words and I want to cover his mouth because I'm ashamed of what he said.
And thank God, its just the two of us here in my room, no one else 's listening.
" Cat got your tongue baby? Hmm. you're so cute. " he said then pinched my cheek hardly.
" Ouch Gelo! You're so annoying! " I grouch at him then pinched his waist repeatedly.
" Ouch! you're doing that sadistic move on me again, stop that! "he holds my hands to restrain me from the pinch I'm giving him.
"Alright, let's stop. Let's just watch a movie on Netflix." I said then we both lie down on my bed. I lie down sideway, I hug my long pillow while he squeezes me and his heavy legs are coiled on me. So clingy bestfriend.
After a long while, we were both suddenly awaken. And when I looked at the clock, it's already six in the evening.
Oh my! Gelo arrived at almost 4 in the afternoon then we watched a movie. So that means we both fell asleep for almost two hours?
"Hey, it's late, maybe your family is looking for you now. Come on, get up." I patted him in the arm.
" Hmm... I'm going to sleep here. Uncle Adrian asked me to accompany you. They said they were going to visit Shane in Batangas, at the resort that Gerald bought. " he replied with both eyes closed.
"When did daddy say that? Why are you asking me a while ago if there's some news about Shane when you already know about it? I asked him a bit annoyed then I hit his arm.
" Ouch! You're really like an amazon! Uncle Adrian just called me over the phone before I go here. That's the only information he said that's why I asked you if there's any news about Shane." he answered while caressing his arm that I hit.
" I know nothing. That's the least I know. Let's go downstairs, I'm famished. " I told him
" Just go ahead, I'm going to take a bath first. Can I get my clothes in your closet? " he asked.
" Just go! You don't need to asked for permission. Just feel at home. " I said and left him then I headed downstairs.
THE NEXT morning, Gelo and I woke up early because we heard commotions downstairs.Our eyes were both puffy when we go downstairs but we're only surprised at the scene we found at the living room. Gerald's whole family was there in front of my family, in the middle of our living room, Shane is sitting on the couch silently crying while Gerald hugged her.
Gelo and I stared at each other then hurriedly go back to my room to change our clothes. We are both wearing our pajamas.
I took a bath in my bathroom inside my bedroom while Gelo was in the bathroom in the guest room.So we ended up almost the same time and went down again.
They were all in the dining room and were having breakfast when we came down.Maybe they already agreed on their issues.Gelo and I both sat in the vacant seats. Dad introduced us to the guests and we learned that Gelo will be one of the groom's men and I will be Shane's maid of honor. The wedding will be next month. We wondered why it was so fast, then my sister admitted that she was 1 month pregnant. The moment Gerald found out that she was pregnant with his child, he asked her to elope with him. That's the time when he suddenly appeared in Shane's party.
The life of a celebrity is very complicated and no privacy at all. Once you enter the industry, your own life will be owned by the public.
Sometimes its the intrigue that destroys the lives of the artists, if you are weak you will not survive in this field.
I felt regret on Shane's part, she just turned eighteen and she's getting married. It's still two years before she finished her degree in college. She's going to stop because she is already pregnant. That's what I'm afraid of and don't want to experience. I wish I had finished my studies before I could fall in love, for at least I have no regrets.
When the Coronel family left, Shane goes with them. They got married to the judge and she will be living now with Gerald, in his newly built house. I was sad again because my sister had left our house. Without Gelo, I would probably have been drowned in sadness.
THE DAY of Gerald and Shane's church wedding.
As many people witnessed, it became like a feast to the number of fans hanging out in the church. There are reporters from different tv stations who will cover their so called Wedding of the Year.
In the middle of the ceremony, Shane suddenly fainted. Probably, it's because of a large number of people around the church and of course, she is pregnant too.
After the wedding ceremony, it was still a problem because we couldn't get out of the church due to a huge number of fans. More police were needed to get people out of the way.
So far it was fine when we were at the reception.Many artists, singers, producers, directors, production staff and politicians attended. And with the number of guests attended the wedding , I'm sure the new couple has spent a lot of money on it. As far as I know, they didn't asked for help on both of their families, only the two of them actually spend for it. Anyway, they both have a fat bank account, they made a lot of money from showbusiness.
It was almost evening when the fun was ended. Before the wedding reception was over, the newlyweds had left for Italy for their honeymoon. We were the only ones left to entertain the guests.
I was so tired when me and my family got home. My brother Andrew was just about to piggy back ride me because I couldn't even move my feet. Gelo had come home with his family because he was tired and wanted to sleep, so he said we will just meet tomorrow.
MONTHS went by.. Shane had given birth to a beautiful and very healthy baby girl. They named her Shanelle Geraldine. And since the name was long, daddy suggested to call the baby Dindin.She became the joy of the entire family. Gelo and I often brings her to the park or at the mall whenever we visited them in their house.
Gereald and Shane got along so well. Shane stopped doing movies for a while but she still sang on some tv guestings. She wants to be as hands on to her family. She pursued her studies and hopefully next year she will graduate.
I'm happy for the outcome on Shane's life. Even though she entered married life early on, she succeeded. She takes good care of her own family although sometimes she is still working. I can see how much Gerald loves her and Dindin.
For the most part, I want to change my perspective on men in showbusiness.
