ELLA
It's been a couple of days since our tagaytay trip
And mas naging clingy si Jema sakin lately
"Dali na love, please" Sambit niya
There she goes again, Calling me with our endearment before
I heaved a sigh
"Just don't post it, okay? I don't want them to harm you. Alam mo naman kung gaano ka harsh ang mga tao ngayon" Sagot ko
Napa ngiti naman siya
"Thanks love! Oh dali smile!" She said
Nag pose naman ako sa cam
We kept on taking a picture on her phone
"All good na ba to, love?" She asked
"Maganda naman lahat, my love" Sagot ko
Napa ngiti naman siya
I saw Ate Jia Text
she'll have a meeting with John Vic De Guzman
He's not even a good actor, bakit siya pa i ppair kay jema?
Jema knows how to sing, dance, and to act
Kaya meron na din siyang several seryes
I've been watching her sa t.v
Kahit si mommy, inaasar asar pa ako
"Love, let's go" sambit niya
Tumango naman ako
She must've notice it kaya she held up my chin
"Don't worry okay, it's just a project maybe... Rest assure na sayong sayo lang ako" She said
Napa ngiti naman ako and stole a kiss from her
"I know, my love. Let's go na? I don't want my best singer to be late" I said
Napa ngiti naman siya
After the meeting lumapit saamin yung john Vic
"Hi! Ella De Jesus right? Personal assistant ni Jema?" JV asked
Napa tingin naman ako kay JV
Dahan dahan akong tumango
I swear, sobrang feeling close niya!
He asked for Jema's number
I glanced at Jema, she's busy talking to someone
"She knows it naman, So can I?" he repeat
I heaved a sigh and gave him the wrong number
Ganyan sinabi ni Jema sakin
"sweet! thanks E! Text me her schedule nalang para ma hatid sundo ko siya sa bahay nila" He smiled sweetly
"Pa good shot pa hindi naman pogi"i whispered
" Ano? may sinabi ka?" John vic asked
I looked at him at umiiling
"Wala po sir. Sige na po" I said and lumapit kay Jema
"Oh, My PA is here. we should get going na po"pag papa alam niya
Ngumiti naman ang mga ka usap niya
Tahimik na ulit ako sa room niya
Nilapitan niya naman ako
"Love? what's wrong?" She asked
Umiiling naman ako at nag scroll sa phone
"Ella? my love?" Agaw atensyon niya sakin
I didn't bother, at nagpatuloy lang
In my peripheral vision, I saw her pouting
I heaved a sigh and looked at her
"Wala lang love" simpleng sagot ko
Siya na yung bumuntong hininga
"I know meron, Ella. Please tell me" Sambit niya
I cupped her face and kissed her
"Does that answer your question?" Sambit ko
Our eyes are staring at each other
"I love you, Jema... I am ready to listen about your explanation why...why you left" sambit ko
She nodded and hugged me tight
"Can you please wait a little longer?" she softly asked
Napa ngiti naman ako
Her head is on my chest kasi
"Kahit gaano pa yan ka tagal Jema, Mag aantay ako... I know na magiging worth it din" sagot ko
"Mahal kita, Ella. Yan ang palagi mong tatandaan" She said
Napa ngiti naman ako
"Mas mahal kita, Just tell me kapag ready ka na... kasi makikinig ako. We'll fix this and make it right, Ayiko na mawala ka ulit" Sagot ko
Bumuntong hininga naman siya at hindi nagsalita ulit
I felt like something's wrong with Jema
"Love, May problema ba?" I asked
Umiiling naman siya kaagad
"Nothing, I assure you my love" sagot niya
Napa ngiti naman ako at tsaka hinalikan ang ulo niya
Inihatid ko na siya sa bahay
"Dito ka na matulog love"pagpupumilit niya
"wala akong damit lablab" sagot ko
"Edi suotin mo mga damit ko! Kasya kaya sayo yung mga damit ko" Sambit niya
Napa iling nalang ako at tuluyan na niya akong kinaladkad sa loob ng bahay niya
We're currently watching tv series tilted F.R.I.E.N.D.S
It's our fave series kahit nung kami pa dati
Nag binge watching lang kami ni Jema
hanggang sa naka ramdam na kami pareho ng antok"Let's go upstairs na my love" I softly said
She closed her eyes, I guided her para hindi tuluyang ma tumba
napa daing naman siya at napa hawak sa ulo niya
"L-love...M-masakit" She sobbed
"I'm here, Wait lang love" sambit ko
I carried her in a bridal style pa akyat sa kwarto
I slowly let her lie down sa higaan
Kinumutan ko naman siya
"I'll be back, my love... stay with me lang, okay?" I said and squeezed her hand
I quickly went downstairs para magkuha ng gamot
I saw some pain reliever kaya kinuha ko iyon at nag salin ng tubig
Inilapag ko yung gamot at Tubig sa side table
"Love, still there?" i asked
She didn't respond
Mukhang naka tulog na siya dahil sa sakit ng ulo niya
I heaved a sigh and sat o a chair sa gilid niya
"I'm always here, Okay? Mahal na mahal kita Jema" Sambit ko
I kissed her forehead and natulog sa gilid niya, still sitting
