#Priorities

Final

"Hindi naman talaga ikaw ang gusto ko Alden may iba. Tsaka bata pa naman ako marami pa ko pwedeng gawin....priorities nga diba?" After delivering those lines a sound of honk played, a sign that today's episode has already ended.

"Okay and 3,2,1 Cut!" Direk Pat shouted as she walked towards her and patted her shoulder "Great job guys! Thank you bukas ulit!" She then responded a smile and went to the table. She was busy checking some of tweets about today's hashtag #ALDUBApproval and she encountered a tweets say:

"Bumusina na eh, may pahabol pa. May problema kaya? #ALDUBApproval"

"priorities pa more @aldenrichards02 #ALDUBApproval"

Some of them are blaming him for what she have said earlier because it was indeed natural and to be honest it was not really part of the script, she just said something related to his tweet yesterday because she thought it would make the scene more natural and dramatic,

You have just closed the gap between real and reel Nicomaine, what a move.

And alright part of her wanted to confirm something on his part. I mean she thought they were good, they talk like they were really best of friends, text each other from time to time exchanging funny...funny(?) jokes that makes her feel more confused,

Ano ba talagang meron satin ha Richard?

As much as she wanted to ask those words to him, she's scared, she's scared to hear an answer she doesn't want to hear especially from him and what scares her more is the painful truth, she's starting to wish that all of these shit are true,

Nauna kang nahulog kasalanan mo, walang ibang sasalo sayo kundi sarili mo. Asa pa Maine. Lagi ka na lang ganyan at wag mo kalimutang ipaalala sa sarili na baka gusto niya pa si---

"Uy Meng." Her thoughts switched to the guy who called her name,

"Hi Kuya Jose." She smiled

"San galing?" Jose asked, she raised eyebrows and spoke "Po? Wala naman po akong pinuntahan."

Jose laughs and occupied a vacant seat beside her;

"Yung last line mo kanina, parang ang lalim ng pinanggalingan."

Uh oh.

"Sa script po?" she tried to make an alibi about what she said earlier,

"Script? Ang galing, ikaw lang nakabasa?" Jose then looked at her "yung totoo?"

She took a deep breath, there's no way of denying so might as well tell the truth, It was her Kuya Jose after all;

"Sinabi ko lang naman po yun to make the scene more dramatic and natural, nagtweet kasi siya about priorities kahapon so dinagdag ko po, natakot pa nga po ako kasi baka magalit si Direk, atribida ko kasi. Hehe." She tried to laugh to make Jose believe that she is joking but....

"Pero mukhang nagawa mo ng maganda at sa sobrang ganda ng mga bitaw mo, Hindi ka napagalitan ni Direk paano kasi totoong totoo eh." Jose paused for a while then continued "Totoo diba?" Jose asked, she was speechless and couldn't find the right words to say to him,

"Alam ko kung ano ang iniisip mo, hindi ako sigurado pero ipapaliwanag ko pa din. Meng, Alam kong iniisip mo na sa umpisa pa lang ng serye na to, Ikaw na ang talo. Hindi. Nandito pa kami nila Kuya Wally and Kuya Paolo mo, nagkaroon ka ng bagong kaibigan na magaalaga sayo at sa anumang narating mo masayang masaya ako para sayo pero alam mo kung anong pinakamasayang nangyari? Nung narealized ko na hindi ka pala talaga talo. Magtiwala ka sakin, Lamang ka Meng, Lamang na lamang." Jose patted her shoulder and smiled at her,
