After the "CUT!"

Trending

Day 1 -

@aldenrichards02: 'Promise mo sa 'kin, okay? Kahit anong mangyari, forever tayong magiging magkaibigan. I'll be that one guy who never breaks up with you and you will be that one girl who will never break up with me.'

@mainedcm: 'Puro lang kayo paasa. Pa-yummy. Ako naman, pa-victim. Pero wala na akong magawa kundi umasa na lang na makarma kayo... Oh ano masaya ka na? Pakshit ka. Gago.'

It started with those two tweets posted almost at the same time. It sent the nation in pandemonium. The "SOCO" group didn't get any sleep replaying today's episode of Kalyeserye to look for any inkling that the two have some kind of tampuhan. But all they saw was sweetness, the natural undeniable chemistry always present when it comes to those two. The nation is going out of their wits figuring out the status of the two.

Speculations, assumption, theories were made. OSFs and bashers feasted on this new development while the whole nation is left in shambles. No one knew what was happening.

#MaiChardOnTheRocks started trending.

Day 2-

@aldenrichards02: 'Duwag ka. Takot kang iasa ang kaligayahan mo sa isang tao.'

@mainedcm: 'Kung hindi kayo meant to be, 'wag niyo pilitin. Goodbye. Move On. Let Go. Gano'n!'

Normally, the Dabarkads do not pay attention to rumours started on twitter. But when Alden specifically requested to be in Broadway that day, they started paying attention. For the past couple of months, both Maine and Alden are always together in the Barangay. Those two clingy lovebirds did not stop on pestering Ms. Jenny until she agreed to have them together - whether in Broadway or in the Barangay. More adamant was Alden who wanted to ensure Maine's safety during the SB segment.

So for Alden to specifically request to be separated from Maine, it made them worry as well... Maybe something is really going on between their youngest couple.

"Tisoy, may problema ba kayo ni Maine? Bakit magkahiwalay kayo ngayon?"
"Ah may shoot po kasi ako mamaya after ng EB, mas mabilis if dito ako mangagaling."
"Pero hindi mo sinagot yun una kong tanong, may problema ba kayo?"
"Bossing kasi - ay wait po? Hello Sam? Ah ngayon na? Oh sige punta na ako diyan. Bossing pasensya na, kailangan ko na umalis mallate na po ako."
"Ok sige iho. Pero kung kailangan mo ng kausap, andito lang kami ah. Maaayos niyo din yan."
"Salamat po!"

Even the dabarkads didn't get the answers that they needed, and thus #MaiChardNoMore continues to trend.

Day 3 -

@aldenrichards02: 'Baka kaya tayo iniiwan ng mga taong mahal natin kasi baka mayroong bagong darating na mas okay.

@mainedcm: Sana kaya kong sabihin na masaya ako para sa iyo. Sana kaya ko, pero hindi eh.

On the 3rd day, even their families are bothered. It was a weekly thing for both their families (whoever is available) to have a bonding dinner with them every Fridays. This tradition started when the two became official; however Daddy Bae, Nanay Dub and Tatay Dub are the only constant attendees of these dinner dates. Their sibling drop by every now and then and it is only during special occassions do they get a full attendance.

Tonight is different though, everyone sans the lolos and lolas, are present. They all wanted to know what's happening, wanted to get answers.

"Anak halika nga sandali usap lang tayo. Kung may hindi man kayo pagkakaintindihan ni Richard sana sarilihin niyo na lang. Huwag niyo ng ibroadcast."
"Ha? Ano po?"
"Ilang araw na kayong trending sa twitter. Alam na hanggang Azerbaijian ang away ninyo"
"Pero Nay kasi -"

"Hello po! Sorry late natapos ang shoot!" After paying respect to both their parents, he walked Maine to kiss her cheeks "Sorry, Love! Hindi na kita nadaanan. Ang layo kasi eh ma-out of way na ako baka lalo tayong ma-late."

Everyone was caught off guard, it was Coleen who broke the silence and asked the question hanging over their heads...

"So wait, ok na kayo? Mawawala na ba ang #MaiChardWalangForever na hashtag?"
"Ha?! Ano? Ang alin?"

Coleen showed them the hashtag/s that has been trending for days, the reaction they got confused them further as both RJ and Maine started laughing.

"Kasi naman, paano ba ito Love?"
"Ako na. Nagppractice kasi kami, may sinalihan kaming quiz night, Hugot Quiz Night to be exact. Pero Incognito naman. Kaya lang siyempre dapat manalo. So nirereview namin yun isa't isa, practice."
"Nakakatawa naman ito, hala ka. Hindi ko kasi tinitignan yun mentions and TL ko lately."
"Hala talaga, wait nga lang. Teka teka, eto pampa-kalma"

@mainedcm: @aldenrichards02 Can I stay for a while?

@aldenrichards02: You can stay forever, @mainedcm❤️

And that, my dear, is how you calm down a nation in chaos. And how you start a new trend - #MaiChardIsForever

A/N: So this is my entry to AMACon3 drabbles challenge. Again, no expectations here. I just enjoy writing, and while I'm on a roll why not participate and have fun right?

I'm not even sure if I got the prompt correctly.

Trivia though, I've been meaning to write this since Wednesday. I joined this Hugot Quiz Night in BGC and it was so fun.

Credits to different movies for the hugot lines!

Thanks again for reading.

Prompt: Write about Maine and Alden joyously venturing to 'war' when they all have the peace they need at home.
