Payb Takes

The Storm

Hi everyone,

First of all, I would like to thank you all for making Payb Takes #1 in the Fan Fiction category. Grabe sya! 1 month na po sya dun and that is because of you, guys.
Grazie mille. 😘😘😘

I need to warn you about this part. It's not your usual Payb Takes. Medyo may kurot at iyakang magaganap. Second time to do a piece like this. First one was "Time".

Someone requested for a havey na tampuhan plot since the previous ones are light ones.

So, here goes, please know that my pain level in writing this is probably 5 times more than yours. I cried. 😢

Ready?? Ready. Let's do this.

*holds out hand for whoever needs to take it*

P.S. Remember, this is FICTION and does not necessarily reflect any real scenario from the couple that inspired this story.

Thank you.

The Eye

Random Day, M's condo:

M smiles widely as she walks to the living room bringing the cupcakes she baked from the kitchen.

M: Love, look, I baked these for you.

R looks up from her phone with a stern expression.

R: Ano to? *voice traced with held up anger, holds out M's phone*

M: Why? What's wrong, Love? Bakit ka nagagalit? *sets the plate down on the table*

R: *stands up walks up to M hawkishly still holding out her phone* What's wrong? You tell me what's wrong! *voice raised*

M: Stop yelling. Di ko naman alam ang kinagagalit mo. Ano ba yun?

R: Kailan pa to? Ilang beses na syang nagte-text sa'yo? Nagtatawagan pa ba kayo? Bakit di mo sinasabi sa akin to?

His hands gripped the phone so tight, his knuckles turned white. She is afraid he could crush it but she's not really thinking about that right now. She looks at him and sees him gritting his teeth, his face turning red and he is almost shaking in his anger. It scares her.

She takes a deep breath and clenches her fist. She tries to respond as calmly as possible so as not to fuel his already raging temper.

M: It's not what you think. Ngayon lang sya nag-text to congratulate us for the award. If you've read it, you'll see. *her voice starts shaking, his eyes pierced through her* Ngayon lang sya nag-text. We never call each other. I wasn't going to respond. I intend to ignore him kaya di ko na sinabi sa'yo.

He hears but doesn't listen. He is deafened by his anger and jealousy.

R: Kaya ba di mo mabitawan ang phone mo kahit magkasama tayo? Dahil sa lalaking yan!

He keeps yelling at her.

M: No. *starts raising her voice* At kung yung phone ko pa din ang issue, sinabi ko na sa'yo dati I use it for social media and to be in touch with my friends and family. Malayo ako kina Nanay halos di ko na sila nakikita dahil sa trabaho. *sounds irritated*

R: At ako hindi? Pareho lang naman tayo pero I put down my phone when I'm with you. Di ko na rin naman halos makita ang pamilya ko dahil sa trabaho at dahil sa'yo.

His voice is still raised but trails off with those last two words. He wanted to take them back. He moves to touch her and take them back.

Those last words hit her hard.
