The Ashrald Sountrack

I Just Can't Stop Loving You

"So Maja." On air, Tito Boy interviews Maja Salvador in The Buzz for the promotion of Ina, Kapatid, Anak for its Season 2. "Kayo na nga ba talaga ni Gerald Anderson?"

Sarah is watching the scene, sitting on their sofa directly infront of the TV while hugging a life-sized teddy bear her babe Gege gave to her long ago.

She saw how the beautiful girl on TV smiled ear-to-ear... "Yes, Tito Boy."

She saw everyone on the audience shocked. She laid down sideways on her right, still hugging "Large", while tears fall down on her right eye. It was still afternoon, but the whole house seemed to be cradled by darkness. She knows their situation, but why is she still feeling hatred and hurt? She immediately wiped her tears and sat up, and changed the channel.

While roaming on which channel she'll watch, tears still flow on her cheeks. She wipes it with her free hand. "Stop crying Sarah. Kaloka ka. Ang iyakin mo." She said to herself.

She stopped pressing the next channel button when she heard her tummy grumbled. Since she is on vacation and home alone, she decided to get the ice cream on their fridge. She went back to the living room, and was surprised to see someone sitting on the sofa.

"Hey." He hugged Large and swayed it side to side. "You still have him, huh?"

She didn't know what to do or say. She stood there still, while figuring out what must be her reaction or action. 'Why is he here?', her mind questioned.

He stopped swaying with the bear and put it beside him, his eyes not leaving the sight of her lonely face. "Hey." He walked near her and got the ice cream and spoon from her hands and put it on the center table. He held her hands and kissed it. "You watched the interview?"

Sarah was looking at him firmly, but when he said about the interview, she looked away from him and bowed down.

"Baby girl." He cupped her face and face it on him tenderly. "C'mon. Talk to me."

She didn't resist his charm and his cute worried face. She squeezed Ge's hand and bowed again. "Obvious ba?" She cannot explain how jealous she was. Maja's acting was like for reality. "Nadala ako sa acting ni Ate Maj. Ang galing nya kasi e."

Gerald laughed quietly, but loud enough for Sasa to hear. She lifted her head and he pinched her cheeks. "Hay nakooo Baby Girl. Di ka na nasanay. Matagal na nating ginagawa tong pagpapanggap,--"

"Pagtatago..." Sarah said, correcting his word. "I know. Pero when she fakingly revealed about your relationship? Ang sakit kaya! Alam ng buong mundo na KAYO, hindi TAYO." She pouted.

"Halika nga dito." He hugged Sarah so tight. She did either. "Hay nako. I missed my beautiful talented cute jealous angel."

"Hmm!" She broke the hug and pinched his ear. "Talagang kasama yung jealous? Babe, true love is not jealous." Then hugged him once more.

"I like the sound of that." He whispered, and kissed her head. "Well." He broke the hug and held her hands. "Date tayo. I bought some DVDs for us to watch and some popcorn for us to eat. Isama mo na rin yang Chocolate Double Dutch mo na baka matunaw na. So what do you want first? A Walk to Remember, The Notebook, It Takes A Man And A Woman--ouch." He received another pinch in the ear from her. They laughed. "Or Won't Last A Day Without You? Maganda yung final choice."

She slapped

jokingly his arm. "Tinatanong pa ba yan?" She hugged her again, tight. "Syempre ikaw."

"Heheee! Cheesy babe!" He distanced from her as their noses touch. "Sabi mo yan ah." He said, his eyebrows raising.

She smiled. She pulled away a little. "Hay nako Babe." She unzips his jacket while saying "Tanggalin mo na lang yang jacket mo at mainit. Wala nang makakakilala sa'yo since you're here inside already." She joked while also raising her eyebrows.
