Payb Takes

Fix You

March 4, 11pm

R: *tired and ready to sleep, lies on his bed, calls M on Facetime*

M: *answers call* Hi Love. I was about to call you. Kumusta ka?

R: Okay na okay kasi nakita na kita ulit. *smiles, eyes droopy*

M: Yung totoo?? After what happened today tapos di ka pa rin tumigil sa trabaho. Nagaalala talaga ako, Love.

R: Wag ka na mag-alala, bibi ko. Ayos lang ako medyo pagod lang. *beats chest* matibay ata to. *grins*

M: *giggles* Oo na. Sige na pero nag-aalala pa rin ako siyempre. Di mo maaalis yun sa akin. I always worry about you dahil love kita ng sobra atsaka sobrang clumsy mo. *laughs*

R: Clumsy pala ha? Hmp.. *looks away, pabebe tampo*

M: Joke lang. Pikon ka talaga eh noh? Wag na tampo please... Kiss kita. Dali. *kisses phone screen*

R: *still not looking*

M: Luh luh luh... *wiggles finger on screen as if tickling R* Uy.. Di na yan tampo. Kiss pa kita madami. *kisses screen several times*

R: *pigil kilig smile, still looking away*

M: Naku pag ikaw di pa talaga humarap. Magtatampo na ako. Wala kang Payb Takes. *pouts*

R: *immediately turns to her* Uy, joke lang naman. Nagpapalambing lang ako. Wag naman ganun.. *puppy dog eyes look*

M: *rolls eyes* Sabi ko na nga ba. Pakipot ka pa. *looks at R* Pasalamat ka at love kita talaga kaya di ko matiis yang pagpapa-cute mong ganyan. *smiles*

R: *dreamy sigh* I love you, bibi ko.

M: I love you too, Best Actor. *laughs, then turns serious after a few seconds, looks at R with concern* Basta okay ka na ha? Can I see it? Your arm?

R: *shows M his hurt arm* Yan lang naman. Galos lang. Malayo sa bituka. Kayang-kaya. *reassures M with his dimpled smile*

M: Kawawa naman ang Love ko. *touches her phone screen and kisses it* Promise mo sa akin. Last na to. Doblehin ang ingat please. Pasalamat talaga tayo na ganyan lang nangyari sa'yo.

R: Promise. Dodoblehin ko pag-iingat para sa ating dalawa at sa limang magiging anak natin. *grins, sticks out pinky finger*

M: *laughs* Lima ka dyan. Dalawa lang or tatlo. *does pinky swear with R on screen*

R: Sige. Negotiable naman yan.

M: Sige na, Love. Sleep ka na. Ako naman ang kakanta para sa'yo tonight.

R: Gusto ko yan. *chinito kilig, preps pillow and hugs it to sleeping position*

M: *smiles, starts singing*

🎶When you try your best but you don't succeed
When you get what you want but not what you need
When you feel so tired but you can't sleep
Stuck in reverse🎶
(Coldplay - Fix You )

R: *closes eyes*

M: *continues singing*
🎶Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
I will try to fix you🎶

R: *drifted off to sleep, starts a gentle snoring*

M: *smiles as he watched him sleep, whispers* Hindi lang ikaw. Ako din. I will try to be stronger for us. Pag may mga pagkakataon na ikaw naman ang mahina, magpapakatatag ako para sa ating dalawa. Good night, RJ. I love you.

🎶And I will try to fix you.🎶
