Payb Takes

Somewhere

April 9, 9pm:

M was walking in the parking area with her team to their service when her phone rings.

M: Hello?
R: Hello, Beautiful. Look to your right.
M: *looks to her right, sees R's car, smiles widely, shoots DP a questioning gaze*

DP: *mouths* Sige. Go. *smiles*
M: *holds the phone away* Thank you, Ate Patch. *speaks on the phone again* Okay, Love. Bye.

Jecker: *goes with M as she sprints to the car*
R: *opens the door from inside*
M: *gets in*
Jecker: *hands M the bouquet and her other stuff* Ingat kayo. Bye, Meng. Bye, Alden. *closes car door*

R: *immediately moves towards M and hugs her tight, as soon as the door closes* I miss you so much, Love.

M: Miss agad? Magkasama lang tayo kanina ah. *giggles*

R: Miss kita palagi eh. Kahit isang oras lang na wala ka parang isang buwan para sa akin. *hugs M tighter*

M: Talaga? Akala ko nga galit ka sa akin.

R: *pulls away, looks at M* Galit? Bakit galit? Sinong galit?

M: Wala. Akala ko lang naman. Di ka kasi sumasagot sa tawag at text ko kanina. Buti nakita ko yung snap ni Valeen na confiscated ang phones nyo.

R: Yun nga kaya yung last na text ko nga sa'yo yung kanina tapos after rehearsals pumunta na ako agad dito. Di na rin ako tumawag kasi baka maka-istorbo ako sa event mo. Dumiretso na lang ako dito para hintayin ka. Tignan mo. Wala akong phone activities during that time sa rehearsals. *hands M his phone*

M: Ano ba, Love? You don't have to do that.

R: Alam ko pero I want to para makita mo na wala talaga akong tinatago.

M: Grabe sya. Fine. *gets R's phone and scans* Okay. Clear. *smiles* Alam ko naman na you're always honest with me. I love you.

R: *cradles M's face in his hands* I love you more and more and more. More than you could ever know, Love. * kisses M's forehead, eyes, nose, cheek and chin before kissing her lips gently*

Their lips parted but their foreheads are left connected for a few seconds.

R: *pulls away with a sigh, smiles, starts the car* Where to, my Queen? Driver mo ako tonight. I will take you wherever you want to go. *kilay language*

M: Pwede ba kina Coleen? May work ka pa bukas. Si Dean may kasamang barkada. Mag-isa lang akong magkukulong sa kwarto.

R: Pwede naman kitang samahang magkulong sa kwarto. *kilay language*

M: *laughs, hits R's arm* Pilyo ka talaga. Tempting but you have work and need to rest at namimiss ko na din sila kaya I want to spend this weekend with them sana.

R: Okay, Love. Hahatid kita dun.

M: No. Wag na. Mapapagod ka. Di ba sabi ko magpahinga ka?

R: Pero gusto ko.

M: Hindi pwede ang gusto mo this time okay? Alam ko. You want to spend as much time as you can with me. Ganoon din ako pero this time please wag mo na ipilit. Masyado kang mapapagod baka magkasakit ka na naman. Delikado pa sa daan. Sa condo na lang. May driver naman. Si Kuya na lang mag-drive for me.

R: *beams at a sudden idea* Know what? Pwede naman. Papa-drive tayo. Papasunod na lang din ako sa driver ko. Pwede matulog sa biyahe. Mahahatid kita ng hindi napapagod.

M: Hala. Ang galing mo sa ganyan ha. Dapat may award ka na Most Resourceful, ang galing mong mamaraan eh.

R: *holds M's hand and intertwines their fingers* Pag gusto, maraming paraan. At ito gustong *kisses her hand* gustong *leans over to kiss her cheek* gusto kong gawin. *caresses her face with his free hand and kisses her lips passionately* I love you.

M: I love you more and more.

R: Let's go, Love. Malayo pa biyahe natin. *kisses her nose, gets his hands on the wheel and starts driving*

R drives to M's condo where she picks up her stuff for the trip and they meet with their drivers.

R&M ride in M's van with her driver. M asks for her playlist to be played during the trip.

R&M settle in the backseat. R puts his arms around her while M closes her eyes and snuggles on his chest.

M: *dreamy sigh* Best feeling. *smiles*

R: *smiles, takes M's hand, kisses it and intertwines their fingers* If only I could keep you in my arms like this all the time. *kisses her hair*

M: If only.. *sighs, hugs R closer*

R: *chuckles, squeezes M to him*

M: Ano yun? Natatawa ka dyan?

R: Wala lang. Naalala ko lang yung kanina na sumakay tayo sa motor. Ang cute mo. Di ko alam na marunong ka pala.

M: I learned a little. Buti nga andun ka para umalalay.

R: One day, magugulat ka na lang. Susunduin kita nang naka-motor. Just you and me, one bike, one backpack, one week. We'll just go around with no particular place to go. Kung saan antukin, matutulog. Kung saan magutom, kakain. Walang ibang makakaalam kung saan tayo pupunta. Tayo lang dalawa sa sarili nating oras at sarili nating mundo. Somewhere. Anywhere. *narrates dreamily with a smile* Will you go on an adventure like that with me? *looks down at M*

M: *looks up at R* Anywhere with you. Always. *smiles* Pero pwede ba sabihan si Daddy at si Nanay man lang.

R: *laughs* Oo naman. Sige. Si Dad, si Tito at Tita at tayong dalawa ang makakaalam. Basta. One day. Mangyayari yan bago tayo magka-Thirdy magagawa na natin yan.

M: Sounds like a plan. I wouldn't normally believe yung nga ganitong malabong plano but because it came from you, I believe it. You never fail me. Alam kong mangyayari basta sinabi mo. I just have to wait and believe in you. I love you, Furby ko.

R: I love you more, Miko. *looks deep into her eyes to show her the sincerity of his words*

Their lips slowly draw close together until they finally touch to share a kiss full of love and dreams for the future.

The song plays from the car stereo shining inspiration to their dream road trip.

🎶And if you have a minute why don't we go
Talk about it somewhere only we know?
This could be the end of everything
So why don't we go
Somewhere only we know?
Somewhere only we know?🎶

❤💏❤👫❤
