21 - Unseen Worth

Chapter 21 (part 1)

"Are you in a relationship, for real?" Question of one of the audience.

Here we are today in an interview. Where everyone who watched us can ask questions, whether here at the venue of the event or not. You can ask questions and we will answer them, as long as we can answer.

Even those on social media questions we also answer. The only difference is that here in the interview we also answer that.

"Hmm..what do you think?" Aius's question seemed mysterious to the one who asked us.

The girl Aius talked to immediately started to stop. Who wouldn't be thrilled if an Aius Frosco ignored you? You can just fill Aius's gaze and they are so excited that they look like worms sprinkled with salt, what if they talk to you? That dream came true for them.

"Yes!"

Simultaneously nq shouts of the people watching.

"So, Aius ... is your relationship for real?" teasing question gay event host.

"Ask, here." Aius answered chuckling then, he hug my waist, rested his chin on my shoulder and buried his face on my neck.

The crowd went wild after seing what he just did. Everyone was screaming, and so was the host.

I laughed at what they did. They really like the idea of us being in a relationship, huh?

"Baby, they're waiting." Aius whispered softly to me while still hunched over my neck. Then I could feel the touch of his lips there as he spoke, add that I also felt his hot breath, which brought horror and trembling to me. I chuckled lightly before answering.

"Hmm ... not yet." my simple answer, which made the spectators even louder. I was immediately bombarded with questions.

"What do you mean, not yet?" intriguing question of the host. I was shaken.

'Showbiz' I just thought.

"I'm courting her." it was Aius who answered the question that would have been for me.

Yes, you heard it right. Aius is courting me for almost three months now.

And it's been three months since the incident between the three of us — Aius, Jared and me — in front of my hotel room.

I chose what my heart's saying that time. I allow Aius, to court me in front of Jared. I know it's rude, but what can I do? That's what he wanted me to do, to answer his question right in front of him.

And if you're wondering why we're still on the courting stage, easy to answer.

I really waited for three months to be separated from Jared. You know, three months rule daw.

And one..still not because Aius asks me, if he can be my girlfriend. That's all I'm waiting for.

Ohhh, the ones watching us. Seems unbelievable what Aius said.

Who would believe, right? We're sweet to each other. And we do a couple stuff. Like dating, hugging each other or kissing each other on a public places.

"Hmm ... really? When will you be?" the host again.

"When she answered yes to me." Aius replied looking at me. Then my cheeks got hot. To this day Aius's views have had a different effect on me. I'm still thrilled.

"When are you going to answer him, Sariel?" one of the spectators asked then.

"When he asks me to?" supposed to be my questioning answer. But the truth is that is exactly what I want to say. Of course I want to answer as well as Aius.

I love him already. In the three months he has been flirting with me he has never made me feel like I am alone. He's always with me wherever I go. Even though he is busy with his company works, he always has time for me, and I love him for that.

"Wow, wow. Looks like we're already listening, ah?" teasing words of the host who made those of us there laugh. "But when are you going to ask him, Aius?" Host added another question.

Those present at that question were silent for a few minutes, and I was also silent. Waiting for Aius to answer.

"We'll get there too." that's what Aius replied once winking at those present and again pulled me around the waist to hug me tightly.

Napa 'ayy' the spectators to his answer, it seems sad to hear.

I felt disappointed with Aius' answer. I don’t know, I was suddenly sad. I expected a different answer. I thought he would ask me that too. I just gasped.

"I have plans for that question and I don't want to ruin it." again was Aius's posthumous reply. And those words were enough to make the audience laugh again. My heart also rejoiced because of what I heard, the disappointments I felt before were gone and were replaced by excitements.

"How about your father, Sariel?" suddenly was the question of who from the crowd silenced everyone there. They are amazed.

"There's this rumor that your father is in the hospital out of the country, is it true?" again this is another question.

Everyone there focused their eyes on me.

I took a deep breath before answering. "Yes, my father is in the hospital in U.S." I start. Honestly, I don't want it to come out in the media, but maybe when you're in the showbiz industry, you can't hide anything because everywhere you go there is a camera on fire.

"My father has a heart disease. He needs a heart transplant and since I thought that only other countries have such operations and more advanced equipment, I decided to bring my father to the U.S. to be treated." I answered sadly.

I remember dad again. The same month because when Jared and I broke up, he went 50-50. The doctor said that papa's heartbeat was getting weaker so he needed to get a heart transplant right away.

I remembered all the nights that I'll just cry inside my room and feeling devastated because my saving isn't enough for papa's medication abroad.

I thought I was going to lose hope forever. I thought I could never get out of that dark part of my life, but I couldn't. And I'm thankful.

Because the saying is true that, in a dark room, there is and still is little light you can see. Just don't give up and get tired of looking for that light.

And that light is Aius. He was my hope during those times. He helped me get out of the dark.

He helped me take my dad abroad so that he could start his medications there.

But as of now, papa's heart transplant is still not performed. We have not yet been able to find a heart to replace him. But I'm still thankful, because that's where he is better taken care of, the more the drugs he should take are given.

"Tired?" Aius asked me as he massaged my feet. It's already red because I've been wearing heels all day.

"A bit." I answered and rested my neck on the headrest of the sofa.

We went home to his condo. It's also tiring to answer questions, but still any fun. The pleasure of feeling that someone is supporting you in your career.

By the way, Aius and I were staying in the same house. It's also better for us to get used to each other, especially since the scenes we shin-shooting in the movie are more intimate so we need to get used to each other's presence.

We lay down to sleep but nothing happens to us. Well, ahm ... aside form make out.

After a while we took a bath together. We are not together.

Eat, brush your teeth, a little tenderness then where good to sleep.

"It's been a long day. I feel so drain. And damn tired. I need to sleep." I said softly while yawning, I was really drowsy. My body is very tired.

"Let's sleep. We're both tired." Aius answered weakly. Then I felt him hug me tightly next he squeezed his face on my neck.

His favorite sleeping position.

I just smiled and then let myself be swept away by drowsiness.
