Payb Takes

Sundo

March 27, 10:30pm, NAIA:

R: *walks to the van used to pick him up* Kuya, ako na po bahala. Salamat po ha?

Driver: Walang anuman, Sir. Eto na po yung susi. *hands R the keys*

R: *turns to MT* Ma, dito ka na din susunduin?

MT: Oo. Okay na ako dito. Ingat ka, Tisoy.

R: Opo, Ma. Kayo din po. Salamat.

Leysam: Una na ako ha? Andyan na sundo ko.

R: Sige.ingat, Maraming salamat.

L: You're welcome. I'll go ahead. *walks to a car*

R: *gets in the van after his driver put his luggage and box inside* Bye, Ma. *calls out as he drives off*

MT waves as R's van leaves.

R: *smiles as he sees the bouquet of flowers and balloons he asked to be ordered, sighs* I'm home, Love. See you soon. I miss you so much.

**********
M hurriedly says goodbye to her family. They just got to her parent's condo unit after an evening at the mall. She knows R's flight will land soon.

Nanay: O, ingat ka mag-drive ha? Ikumusta mo na lang kami kay RJ.

M: Opo, Nay.

She kisses and hugs her parents and siblings and runs off. She takes her mom's car and drives of to meet RJ.

M: A few minutes more, Love and we'll see each other. I miss you so much.

**********
RJ arrives in M's condo. He opens the door using his set of keys. He was all smiles and beaming with flowers, balloons and gifts in hand.

R: Love? *no answer* Love are you here? *walks to the table and sets the items he's holding* Love? *checks her bedroom* Dean? *knocks on D's room*

R goes to couch and sits. "Asan kaya sila? Di kasi ako tumawag eh. Paano naman kasi magiging surprise kung tumawag ako?"

R: *slumps in the couch, takes out his phone and stares at it* Tatawagan ko ba? Hintayin ko na lang? Darating din yun. Anong oras naman kaya? Uuwi kaya dito?

*********
M arrives at the airport. She parks the car but does not leave the vehicle. She looks at the arrival bay and checks if he's out there. There was no sign of him or MT and Leysam.

M: Ano ba naman kasi? May pa-surprise ka pa? Mukhang ikaw ang na-surprise nakaalis na sila.

M's call to MT confirms what she fears. She politely thanks MT and ends the call.

M: So, ayun na nga. Basag pa more ang surprise. Bukas na kayo magkikita nyan kasi siyempre uuwi muna yun. Pagod na yun at kung pupuntahan ako nun, he will atleast call me. Bakit nga ba di tumawag yun? *sighs, tweets her frustration*

M drives off after taking one final look at the arrival area.

********
M arrives at her condo. She breathes out a frustrated sigh before grabbing her things and stepping out of the car.

In the elevator, she stares at her phone. "Di ka man lang tumawag. E di wag. Bahala ka na nga. Di mo man lang pala ako na-miss."

She puts her phone in her bag.

When she reaches her unit and opens the door. She wonders why the lights are already on.

M: Dean? *no answer*

M walks in and spots the bags and boxes on the table. Being her usual pessimist self, she thinks that Dean must have dropped off the items they shopped for and some gifts she received from fans before running off somewhere again.

M slumps in the sofa, stares at her phone. When she sees, there are still no messages or calls from R. She puts it on the table.

She glances at the bags without thought and shrugs. She gets up and drags her feet to her bedroom.

When she opens the door, she sees it and she freezes in her tracks. She gasps and her hand immediately flies to her mouth.

She walks slowly to her bed, staring in disbelief.

There he is, sleeping soundly on her bed with a bouquet of flowers by his side and balloons floating in one corner of the room.

She smiles at the thought that he even thought of bringing her flowers and balloons as if his gifts on the table aren't enough.

She sits on the side of the bed and watches him for a little while taking in the realization that he is actually there right now.

She gently brushes her hand over his forehead then she traces one finger along the side of his face and jawline. He still remains undisturbed in his slumber.

M: Di mo pa rin ako pansin ha.

She leans over and kisses the tip of his nose. He twitches it. She sees this and continues to tickle it.

R opens his eyes slightly and peaks. He sees her and smiles. He closes his eyes again and pulls M to lay beside him.

M: *giggles* Akala ko di ka magigising. Tulog na tulog ka eh. *buries her face in his chest* I missed you. I missed this.

R: *holds her closer* Paanong di ako magigising may napakagandang babae na bumungad sa akin. *kisses the top of her head* I missed you so much too. Na-miss ka yakapin ng mga braso ko.*chuckles*

M: Ano palang ginagawa mo dito? Akala ko tutuloy ka na sa inyo. *looks up at R's face who looks fully awake now and already looking down on her*

R: *smiles as their eyes meet* Pwede ba naman na hindi ako dumaan sa Love ko? Siyempre dito muna ako dumiretso. Sobrang miss na miss na miss kita eh. *kisses M's lips gently* I love you.

M: I love you too. Miss na miss din kita. *caresses R's face and kisses his lips deeply*

R: *adjusts and rolls on top her, slightly pinning her down*

M: *slides her arms up his back, kisses him more intensely*

BEEP.. M's phone beeps for a message.

R: *shoots an annoyed eye at it, ignores and proceeds to trailing kisses from M's cheek to her neck to the base of her neck to...*

BEEP.. BEEP.. It was his phone this time.

R: *groans, rolls to M's side and checks his phone* Sandali lang, Love. Text ko lang si Dad.

M: Okay. *smiles* Sige lang tuloy mo lang yan. *she teasingly makes soft fluttery kisses by the side of his ear, then trails her kisses along his jawline*

R: *sends text, puts down his phone then kisses M passionately on the lip again*

BEEP.. M's phone again.

M: *pats R's shoulder* Love?

R: *grunts in between their lips, pulls away* That's it. *sounding frustrated, sighs* It happening again. *turn to M* Naalala mo yung rule natin sa paguwi ko ngayon?

M: *thinks, giggles as she remembers* Yes, naalala ko na.

R: No phones allowed. *grabs all their phones and turns them off then put them in her dresser drawer* There. Ngayon *kilay language* humanda ka na, Nicomaine. Sana sinunod mo yung sinabi ko to train for a marathon dahil umpisa na ng basagan ng Calculator at walang makakapigil sa atin.

M: Tagal. Dami pang sinasabi.

M pulls R by the collar and starts kissing him with an intensity that shakes him and makes him want to hold on to her tighter and move her in ways she not been moved before.
