Chapter 3 The Beginning of Her Dream

Miss Intercon Night 2021

"And the winner is..."

The emcee stopped and played the drumroll for suspense.

"Maria Dina Fajardo. Our Miss Intercon Malabon 2020!" Everyone applauded. Dina also can't believe that she won this beauty contest. Fifty thousand pesos is the prize. She will give the portion to his aunt and she will be able to use the extra to support her job search, or in case she can enroll in a training school for models.

The former winner handed the bouquet of flowers to her, put on her sash and crown. She tearfully waved and shook hands of people approaching her. The politicians of their town and some wealthy businessmen in their area were also congratulating her.

"Dina?" aroused by a woman's voice. Turned around, Dina saw a beautiful transgender. She seemed familiar with her appearance but she could not remember where she had seen her.

She held out her right hand and Dina reached for it. "Hi, I'm Lane Juez, I'm a trainer of BQMA for aspiring models. Are you interested in joining our training and be part of the rosters of our top models?"

Dina's eyes widened and rolled. This is it. This is my dream. The fulfillment of all my dreams since I was a child... "I am!"

"Drop by at my office tomorrow morning. Here's my calling card. I'm expecting you, okay?" Lane told her then she turned around to greet the acquaintance she saw.

Dina ran for Delai's place. "Del!" She cried out of excitement.

Delai was to talking to a handsome man when she called him. "What, you're a nuisance. There's a handsome guy here, look. We're about to leave."

"You're crazy, don't you want to congratulate me before you go?"

"Congrats! Oh come on, let me leave with him now." He wanted to chase the handsome guy who just left but Dina stopped him.

"Wait a minute, this is more important than that guy!" Dina held Delai's arm and pulled him.

"Is there anything more important than that handsome guy?" His eyes were still blinking as he looked at Dina, as he cluelessly wondered if there was anything more important than the handsome guy he was trying to chase and take home earlier.

"Yes. Have you heard BQMA?"

"Of course. Who in the field of beaucon and modeling doesn't know about BQMA? Those aren't really into it if they haven't heard of BWMA in their whole life." His fingers are still wiggling as he gestures in the air.

"Do you know Lane Juez?"

"Dear, everyone knows her. The ever beautiful transgender super idol of beaucons and model trainers here in the country." He sighed while dreaming. "I'll also have surgeries here and there once I become rich!"

Dina showed DLane's calling card to Delai. His eyes widened.

"She just offered me to be part of their trainees in BQMA!" Dina screamed.

"OMG!" Delai covered his mouth. "I'm a manager, I'm a manager!"

"No, that guy is more important, isn't it?" Dina jokingly shooed him.

"No! He's ugly! There are more handsome models at BQMA at their male models' agency, the BKMA! Gosh! I'll see someone really handsome in person, too!" He was clapping while thinking of handsome guys.

"Yeah, come on, I need a beauty rest so I will be fresh tomorrow." Dina pulled him to go home.

"Aunt!" Dina screamed into the house.

"Oh, what..." she looked at Dina's crown. "You won?"

"Yes Aunt Nelia. Wait..." she pulled out the money from the envelop. "Here, 20,000 pesos. You can buy more Chin Chun Su."

Her aunt's eyes widened. "Wow, I won't just buy Chin Chun Su.I'm going to curl my hair permanently, then get a facial!"

"Cousin, what about me?" Venus said she hugged her waist.

"Don't give her too much, she will just waste money," her aunt said.

"Auntie. I'm going to report you to my mother's grave." She is also the daughter of the youngest sister of her mother and aunt Nelia. Her mother also died and Aunt Nelia took care both of them.

Dina laughed. She pulled five thousand and handed it to Venus." Oh, save it, don't waste it."

"Yes! Thank you, Cousin!" Simultaneously kissed her on her cheeks. She is already eighteen years old but she still acts like a kid.

"Auntie, a modeling agency invited me to train with them."

"This is your chance, Cousin!" Venus applauded.

"All right, go upstairs and rest so you look good tomorrow. Maybe the person who offered you to become a model will change his mind when your eye bags get bigger. Go upstairs!" her aunt said, then she looked at the money she was holding and counted again.

Her aunt supported her in her dream as long as there is a bribe. Dina just laughed as she went upstairs. She needs to become fresh and look like a model tomorrow.
