Nagshoo-shoot na sila for episode 19, last week pa nagstart yung lock in taping and halos feeling ni Lena ay hihimlay na siya sa puyat at pagod.
"Ok Cut! Sige, magrest muna tayo and let's take scene thirty-four na." Announce ni Direk They all nodded, and some of the cast went to the tent para magpahinga.
"Hoy Len," sigaw ni Bella at ito ang naging dahilan para lumingon agad ang dalaga, "Oh? Baket?" Tugon ni Lena. "Parang ewan naman toh- akala mo hindi alam ang ganap ngayon-"
Naglabas ng buntong hininga si Lena at tumingin na ulit sa kaniyang script. "Hayy.. ayoko nga i-celebrate birthday ko diba.."
"Luh- ang KJ mo naman! Di naman kita pinipilit eh- ibibigay ko lang naman sana toh-" Sabi ni Bella habang inaabot kay Lena ang kanyang regalo na bracelet with her and Lena's initials.
"Pwede ka naman pala maging sweet," Sabi niya ng pabiro na naging dahilan ng pagkunot ng noo nung isa. "Pero.. for real, thank you. Parang ikaw na talaga naging kapatid ko."
"Asus- wala yan, pero.. Uhm.. nasabi ko ata sa buong cast na birthday mo..."
"Ata..? Alam mo panira ka talaga ng mood eh noh- di mo manlang ako bigyan ng moment na masaya-" iritableng sabi ni Lena.
Tumawa nalang si Bella at hinila bigla si Lena palabas ng tent para mabati na ng iba. "Aray, aray teka! Kaya kong maglakad mag-isa!"
"Happy Birthday!" they all said in unison while confetti filled the scene, Lena was touched and released a small chuckle because of how cute some of them seemed because they were wearing party hats and were all smiling which causes them to have crescent-moon-like eyes. Well... except for one person.. Yes, you guessed it. Andres.
"Ngiti ka naman diyan, Friend!" pabirong sabi ni Elijah sabay tapik sa braso ni Andres. "Ikaw pa naman leading man niyan! Aagawin ko nayan sige!" Dagdag niya upang mapatawa yung buong cast.
"Hoy, wag kayo! May regalo yan kay Lena!" Sigaw ni Alex, habang nakaupo sa monoblock chair at umiinom na ng coke.
Silence filled the atmosphere... the whole cast seemed shocked at what Alex said.. What? Did everyone hear that right? The Andres Fierro slash cold-hearted sociopath bought a birthday gift for his co-actress?..
Naglabas si Emma ng pekeng ubo, at sinubukang basagin yung katahimikan, "A-ah... Hoy! Baka ikaw lang yung nagpilit na magpabili niyan Alex ah!" "Edi wag kayo maniwala!"
"Hoy, mga bwiset kayo- gutom na kami, mamaya na kayo mag away." Natatawang sabi ng kanilang script writer na si Reyna. "Andres, dito mo nalang ilapag yung regalo mo." mahinahong sabi ng Producer.
"O-oh, sige po." nahihiyang sabi ni Andres habang nakatingin sa lapag. Walang hiya talaga tong si Alex.. Sabi niya sa kaniyang isipan.
<<<TIMESKIP>>>
"Thank you po talaga sa mga regalo niyo! Kahit nakakapagod po yung shooting, nawala po talaga lahat ng stress ko." Lena said habang tinutulungan niya yung crew na nagliligpit.
"Wala yun Len, it's bad not to celebrate your birthday, y'know." Sabi ni Elijah. Wala nang ibang sinagot si Lena except for a teeth-showing smile and nods repeatedly.
"Ok team, mukhang mago-over time tayo bukas since mukhang pagod na kayo and since naka twenty-six scenes naman na tayo, bukas na natin itutuloy yung scene fifty. Pumunta na kayo dun sa respective houses niyo dito sa residence." Sigaw ni Direk habang sinesenyasan na yung crew na ligpitin na yung set. They all said their goodnights and Lena somehow thought that maybe it's just the shooting specifically that's tiring... maybe the rest of her days with the cast aren't really that stressing. _ _ _
Nung nakabalik na si Lena sa kaniyang room ay nakita niya na, as always, nauna na si Andres and andun na siya nagpapahinga sa other side of the room. The room they were given didn't really have much difference from the hotel rooms they were checked-in nung bago mag-lock in taping. "Nakabaki kana pala.. Happy birthday nga pala." He flatly said with a sleepy and deep voice, Medyo nagulat si Lena dahil ang buong akala niya natutulog na si Andres, lalo na't nakapikit at nakatalikod na siya.
She responded with a tight grin, "Hm, thanks. Na-enjoy mo ba yung handa?" she added para mapahaba yung usapan. "Kinda, may mga portions akong nagustuhan and may mga hindi." "Ahh.. ok ok,
So.. uhm, thank you nga pala sa regalo mo." "Yeah, no prob." he said dryly. "Kung wala ka nang sasabihin- Matutulog nako." She just responds with a nod, and suddenly remembers to check the gifts she was given. . . .
An hour passed by and she's down to the last gift, ang regalo ni Andres, nakalagay siya sa isang black paper bag na mas lalong nakapagtataka kung ano ang laman. Man, this guy likes being mysterious. May note na nakadikit sa labas,

Lena lets out a sigh and smiles, May puso ka naman din pala.. And after ay binuksan niya na yung paper bag, inside was a maroon small box with golden lettering, spelling out "Just for you", and nung binuksan niya ito, there was a gold necklace with a black heart gem serving as its pendant. Lena awed and somehow thought maybe Andres wasn't really that bad.. Maybe there's just something going on his mind, maybe he just prefers his own company. Ha?- Lena naman- binigyan ka lang ng regalo eh.. tumigil ka, self. Nung una ay nagdadalawang isip pa si Lena kung susubukan niyang suotin yung kwintas... "Wag na nga!" Medjo napalakas na sabi niya. Biglang napatingin siya kay Andres kung nagising niya, nung paglingon niya ay mahimbing na natutulog. "Hay.. buti naman, Matutulog nanga rin ako.."
