UNO
Michelle's POV
While we were walking in the middle of the road towards our next destination on this trip, we suddenly felt tired so hinayaan nalang muna namin yung mga kasama namin mauna.

"Saan naman tayo magpapahinga rito?" Rhian asked, natawa nalang ako kasi oo nga 'noh...we're in the middle of the road.

"Ha! I got u." I said at pumwesto nang angel sit sa gilid ng kalsada.

"Here babe, malinis dito 'lika na!" I.

"Mainit." She complained.

"Ang arte!" I replied. Instead na tumabi sa'kin, she went infront of me.

"Oh, eh mas mainit dyan? hinaharangan mo yung araw." I added.

"Maarte ako pero alam kong mas maarte ka, i'll block the sunlight para hindi ka mainitan." She said.

"Luh..." and here I am feeling like a disney princess, trying to hide my smile.

DOS
Michelle's POV
3AM in the morning, I'm alone and I cannot sleep. it's even more annoying kasi puro pagkain ang napapanood ko, nakakagutom tuloy.

In the middle ng kakapanood ko, Rhian texted me...

Rhi:
Why are you still awake?

Lagot...

Instead of replying to her text, I called her kasi alam kong she's getting ready na for her work. She also answered my call immediately.

"Nagising ka lang ba or until now hindi ka parin natutulog?" She asked.

"Nagugutom po." I said.

"Kumain ka muna before you sleep." She said.

"Mcdo tayo." I.

"Bukas na, pag-uwi mo." She replied.

"Edi bukas pa 'ko kakain? pwede naman ngayon eh ipapadala ko dyan tapos sabay tayo kakain." Kapag gusto may paraan.

"Napaka-cheesy mo naman." She said.

"Babe, wala nga akong gana kapag hindi kita kasabay." I replied.

I noticed her hide from the camera, "Hala nagtago, kinilig." I said and I heard her chuckles.

"Ewan ko sa'yo, corny ka!" First stage, in denial.

Ang ending, I ordered food for both of us and we ate together during the call.

TRES
Michelle's POV
Kakauwi ko lang sa bahay nila Rhian, we both planned na I will stay here for my 1 week leave because Rhian can't stay in our house kasi medyo malayo ang work niya from there.

I bought ulam for lunch naman para hindi rin nakakahiya.

"Hi! I missed you." Rhian said then we hugged.

When I entered their house, naabutan ko si tita na nagluluto for lunch.

"Hi tita!" I greeted at lumapit para magmano.

"Oh nandito ka na pala, sandali at malapit na maluto 'tong hipon, alam ko paborito mo 'to eh" She said, sa limang taon namin ni Rhian naging super welcome ng family niya sakin, and I feel so lucky for it.

"Sakto po pala eh, dala ko rin po yung favorite niyong ceasar salad tsaka may pinapabigay rin po si mommy na honey nung galing po kaming baguio." I replied.

"Ako wala?" Rhian asked.

"Nagselos naman 'to agad, may strawberry ka po misis, ako pa pumitas niyan"

KWATRO
Michelle's POV
Currently waiting for Rhian to finish taking a shower, while waiting I planned to fix the bedroom already para 'pag labas niya, matutulog nalang kami.

Natapos ko na lahat ng linis na gagawin ko, hindi parin siya tapos...ilang pag-shampoo ba ginagawa nito?

Narinig ko nalang ang phone niya na sunod-sunod ang notification.

Messenger
Gerald sent 34 messages.

Gerald? I don't know anyone named Gerald who's close to Rhian, I accidentally scroll the notification and I saw Gerald's messages, puro spam messages saying "Hey" to Rhian repeatedly.

"Hey baby? yuck, bulok ang flirting skills." I said while reading his messages.

I was about to blocked him pero sabi ko wag nalang, alam ko namang may kusa si Rhian to do that, also, masyado na 'kong pakialamera kung gagawin ko yun. I trust my girlfriend.

Minutes have passed.

After a decade, kidding! so oa. Rhian finished taking a shower, muntik na 'kong makatulog kakahintay sakanya.

"What took you so long?" I asked.

"Ang bilis ko kaya." She said.

I just continued watching the movie I was watching, it's Becky & Badette (must watch!)

"Babe look, someone named Gerald keep sending flirting messages, like hello baby, hi darling, hey pretty, it feels so cringe." She said, I can see her annoyed face even the lights are off.

I chuckled. "What's funny?" She asked.

"I'm done with him, block ka sakin bitch, that's too much." She added.

I told you, ako na 'to eh syempre loyal yan sa'kin.

SINGKO
Still Michelle's POV
Badtrip akong babalik sa parking kasi hindi ako nakapag-pagupit ngayon because of crowded people sa salon, buong school campus ata yun kasi graduation picture nila.

"What's with your busangot face?" Rhian asked as soon as I entered the car.

"Haba ng pila." I said and pouted.

"Ako nalang gugupit sa'yo" She said, with a grin in her face.

"Babe? mahal kita pero hindi ako siraulo." That made me laugh tho.

Hours have passed.

"Ako na nga kasi gugupit sa'yo, magaling kaya ako di'ba ma?" She's still convincing me mula sa byahe hanggang ngayon.

"Promise, it will look good." She added.

"Tignan mo nga yung mukha ni Michelle kung mapapapayag mo yan, galawin mo na lahat wag lang ang buhok niyan." Rhian's mom said, mas lalo naman akong natawa.

"Nilalagay mo sa peligro buhay niyan, Rhian." Her dad said.

Now, Rhian's pouting. Umupo nalang siya sa vanity chair and starts playing with the scissor na kanina niya pa hawak na para bang sobrang disappointed.

"Oo na sige na, ayusin mo ahh." I said, hindi ako makapaniwalang isa-sacrifice ko ang haircut ko mapasaya lang ang babaeng 'to, is this even me?

"Really? I love youuu!" She hugged me from behind. "I promise, aayusin ko." She assured, and kissed my cheeks.

We switched position, I am now sitting at the chair and she's standing behind while looking at me at the mirror.

Pikit mata kong naririnig ang tunog ng gunting everytime ginugupit niya ang buhok ko, although isa sa reason bakit niya ako napapayag is masyado narin kasing mahaba ang buhok ko and i'm planning to have a short hair, so if Rhian messed this up ipapaayos ko nalang sa salon. Ewan ko ba, bakit ganito kalalim ang nagagawa ng pag-ibig...

"Done!" She said, I looked in the mirror and it feels like nothing changed.

"Ano binawas mo?" I asked.

"I'm scared eh, pero marami akong na-cut ginaya ko lang sa pattern ng hair mo before tapos hindi ko masyado binawasan mga 2 inches lang, how is it?" She explained.

"Nice, pantay ka naman pala gumupit maniniwala na 'kong ikaw ang nag-gupit kay tita." I said.

I gave her a hug. "Thank you master!" I added.

"No, thank you for trusting me kahit alam kong super halaga ng hair mo sa'yo." She said and I kissed her forehead as a response.

"Anything for you, my love."
