Dear Diary,

I just finished reading Nina's update about After Us, a bonus chapter as a matter of fact. Funny, she used my most favorite poem of Sarah Kay called Postcards. I really, painstakingly waited for her to release the password and started reading deeply when I was able to get access.

My eyes were shocked with disbelief, anger, and surprise from the actions of this AU version of mine.

"Tanga."

I decided to call RJ using Facetime before his ALDENvasion concert and started ranting about After Us Maine.

"Love?"
"Uy, love. Kumusta photoshoot sa Mainescents mo? Gusto ko ata bumili at magamit ko nga"
"Gago."
He laughed his ass out because of my reaction then I started to rant
"Alam mo ba ang gago ng AU version ko?"
"AU?"
"After Us, it's a fanfiction that narrates our story after we broke up."
"Para ligawan kita ulit no?"
"Kung pwede lang. Haha. Pero ayun nga, AU Maine took AU RJ for granted - she priortized her books and her aspirations as an author that she forgot to give time to Him"
"Ah.. di ka naman ganun"
"At instead of ikaw at ako, parang ikaw at ang libro. Naiyak nga ako sa hiling ng AU version mo eh!"
"Ano?"
"You want me to write about you, but I took it for granted, and I just started after I lost you."
"Grabe siya."
"Richard, believe me, I am not and never will be an After Us Maine!"
"Love, alam ko yun. Ikaw at ako, tayong dalawa di ba?"

I can sense his smile through the phone. A reassuring one, I can tell and I know all is worthwhile.

Love,
Nicomaine

P.S. Sorry if di ako nakapunta as much as I wanted to. Traffic kasi! Bat sa Ynares pa?Anyway, see you tomorrow... Or maybe later? ;)
