Im in the kitchen right now holding a piece of paper; a note from my love saying,
"I got you a pizza! You were asleep when i dropped by. I didnt wanna wake you up. I miss you, baby! -Macho❤"
And i read it over and over again before dialing her number.
"Hi," she breathe and answered on the fifth ring.
"Love, why didnt you wake me up?" I asked right away. I havent seen her for three days and it's making me crazy.
"Eee," i heard her made a sound as if she's hesitating to say something. "Baby, tulog ka pa naman kasi nung dumaan ako eh. Saglet lang ako jan sa bahay kanina," she laughed nervously.
"How long?" i went on.
"Mga dalawang oras lang," she answered.
My face turned red and im starting to get mad. I wanna scold her but i cant. My mind says yes, but my heart says let it go.
"Julie!" i started but she spoke.
"Wag ka ng magalit. Ang himbing kasi ng tulog mo kanina. Im so sorry," then there was a sadness in her voice.
What else can i do? Tapos na. Nakadaan na siya, nakaalis na siya.
I sighed deeply and said, "Okay. But please, the next time you drop by and im asleep, please, wake me up. I really really wanted to see you now," my mood seems chaged. Nawala yung galit ko agad agad.
"Im sorry. Next time, i will," i heard her answer.
"I miss you, love," i said sadly.
"I miss you too. Gusto mo bang umuwi ako mamayang gabi jan after my rehearsal?" she asked and I have to disagree kahit na gustong gusto ko siyang makita. There are many things to consider and i cant be selfish. Ayoko yung pagod siya sa trabaho at magtatravel ulet siya.
"No, dont come home yet. Im okay. Traveling is tiring. I can wait, love."
She sighed and said, "Okay. I'll see you in three days."
"Im excited to see you again," i pulled a smile on my face realizing that the way we throw words to each other feels like a high school lovers.
"We're flying to Cebu tomorrow and have a show there again. I'll have another album tour din to do there, i think," She said unsure. I nodded as if she can see me.
"Are you all pack then?" i have to make sure.
"Yes, i have all that i need."
"Okay, love. Stay macho while you're away from me," i murmured and she laughed.
"Mas macho naman kasi ako sayo," humirit pa.
I chuckled.
"Osige na. Be safe," i said when i felt like i need to end the call.
"Thank you. You too," she told me.
"Okay, bye. You need to go back to rehearsal now," i let out a soft laugh and so did she.
"Bye, baby," i felt her smile.
I was about to end it when i knew i forgot to say something.
"Oh and Julie!" pahabol ko.
"Yeah?"
"Nothing. I just.."
"Tell me."
"I love you," i smiled once more and i think i heard her giggle and whispered, "I love you Elmo Magalona!"
