KOI NO YOKAN

CHAPTER ONE

"We are, Velvet Upholstery!"

We greeted one last time before smiling and waving a hand in front of the camera. They signaled that it was over and the cameras were no longer rolling so we faced each other and turned to the host and thanked him.

"Guys, we really appreciate it, maraming salamat sa patience ninyo, by the way just a few more shots for pictures with you and you can go." We nodded and did what they needed us to do and took a couple of shots with them.

"You good?" I nodded and let Madrous wrap his arm around my shoulder.

"All good," I muttered and took a deep breath before giving the host a handshake and finally leaving the set.

This is the last in our schedule for today and we are set to go home after this, Scalsky just needed to talk to someone and we can leave the building.

We needed to record a sort of youtube video and that's what we just finished doing. I felt my muscles and joints hurting and feeling sore as we took a seat in the lobby and waited for our leader to be done.

"Ano, shot tayo?" I heard Hasten ask as we all settled down in the lobby.

"Mukhang tayo tayo lang niyan, atat na atat na umuwi si Scal, eh." tawa ni Madrous.

"Try niyo call si Pev, baka gusto sumama, nasa Studio Base pa ba 'yon?" They checked their phones to check the current time and shrugged their shoulders.

"Mukhang kanina pa naka-uwi, okay na 'yan tayo tayo na lang pampatulog lang naman." nagtawanan sila sa sinabi ni Hasten as he pouted.

"Tumigil ka na kaka-inom," tawa ni Erreo and dropped his arm around his shoulder.

"Nako, eto na naman siya." he shake his head and sighed.

"We all know it's not a sin to drink, but is a sin to get drunk, 'di mo pa ba kami kilala?" he stared at Madrous and I just watched them bicker.

"Do you also remember that even if your alcohol tolerance is on the roof, there are times that it gets you? I will record you next time if that happens again,"

"Apaka bully talaga," nag-pout si Madrous at 'di na lumaban.

"Just do your normal thing, if it's for you to have a good night's sleep then so be it." Erreo surrendered and shook his head,.

He knew wala naman siyang panama sa mga 'yan, even if Erreo told us not to drink, they would still drink once we got home.

Erreo sleeps early, a lot, lalo na kapag busy ang naging araw namin, he won't be able to hear them, partying after he knocked out in sleep.

"Sama ka, Jath?" I shook my head again and closed my eyes as my hand found a hard part on my shoulder and tried to squeeze it to ease the pain.

"Uwi na ako, parang lalagnatin pa yata ako."

A hand automatically pressed into my skin making me open my eyes, I was welcomed by their concerned eyes.

"I'm fine." I shrugged it off, removed my hand from my shoulder, and fixed my shirt.

"Are you getting enough sleep?" I nodded slightly to answer Erreo.

"She's home, Jath. You waited for this for almost eight years."

I didn't answer and continued to stare at the ground as I felt my heartbeat racing.

"Naka-usap mo na ba siya?"

"No."

"But Peverelle promised that if she finally contacted and reached her, she'll let you know, right?" I nodded and gave them a smile so they would stop thinking about me.
