Rhian’s POV

     I did something bad today. Bad because I really didn’t want to do it (okay maybe partly because I’m pissed at her but just like 5% want) but mostly bad because I know I hurt her. Again. Few hours ago I had to post a picture of something that was prepared by Jason. You know this guy, he’s really awesome. Like awesome in so many levels. He’s a great race car driver, smart businessman, patient, good cook, and the list goes on but he’s just not Glaiza. Glaiza who is impossibly stubborn, irritatingly independent and Miss Always Right who I’m helplessly in love with. Not that she only has bad traits, she has lots of good traits too. She’s always mad at me (or pikon) but she will still hug and kiss me even though she’s mad. She will sacrifice sleep just to see me and give way to my sometimes unreasonable demands. She will say ‘no’ to some things that I ask from her but she will end up doing them anyway simply because it’s for me. She’s the sweetest. And I miss her. I know I went overboard when I did not allow her to go to Japan this weekend to watch that Bigbang show. I’m just worried about her. I don’t want her travelling with people that I don’t personally know because I’m worried that something will happen to her and I’m 1907.61 miles away (yes, that’s the distance between Philippines and Japan. Nerdy, right?) And now, my Glaiza, the love of my life, the most beautiful girl I have ever laid eyes on, is not answering my calls. I just hope that she will let me explain why I had to post that picture. Jason cooked something for me earlier and I wasn’t really paying attention to what he’s saying. He noticed my lack of interest and got so freaking mad because I’m pathetically staring at my phone, waiting for a reply from Glaiza. He was so mad and nagged me that I am wearing ‘the necklace” almost every single time I post in IG (me wearing the necklace is the silent equivalent of me tagging you, Glaiza. I told you, we will be together always in one way or another). Our fight got out of hand and I had to ‘console’ him by saying that I will be posting the picture but he demanded that I should write something sweet too. So I had to think of the most platonic caption there is in this world. I know you read it Glaiza and if you will just take jealousy out of the equation then you will realize there is nothing romantic about what I wrote. I had the shock of my life when he placed a comment but as you see my darling, I did not even reply. My I love you is only for you. Always.




Glaiza’s POV


Kapag minamalas ka nga naman.

Kung kelan ako nasa malayo tsaka naman may paandar ‘tong lalakeng ‘to. Pinagluto ang girlfriend ko at may pa-I love you pa. Bwisit. Hindi mo ba alam na 5 out of 7 days eh spicy tuna salad ang gusto ni Rhian at hindi yang duck or chicken or whatever na niluto mo. Tsaka kakatapos lang kaya ng period ni Rhian, matamis ang gusto niyan. Kaya dapat either ice cream or cake ang pinapakain sa kanya ngayon. Tsk. Hindi mo talaga siya kilala.

Hindi naman sa nakikipag-kompentensya ako pero nakakainis. Nung una na-guilty pa ko na masaktan ka namin pero nung nagsimula kang i-blackmail si Rhian, nawala ang respeto ko sa’yo. Hindi ganyan ang pagmamahal na kilala ko. Kung mahal mo kasi talaga siya, dapat alam mo ang gusto at ayaw niya. Dapat alam mo kung anong kailangan niya. Effortless naman yun kasi makikilala dapat siya ng puso mo ng kusa. Hindi mo kailangang ipilit. Pero yung itali mo si Rhian sa’yo kahit na alam mong hindi ka na niya mahal, napaka-selfish naman yata.

Hay. Ang saklap. Nandito ako sa paborito kong lugar pero ang utak ko nasa paborito kong tao. Rhian. Hindi mo ba talaga alam na mas mahal kita kesa kay TOP? Aba, hindi lang ako nagfa-fangirl sa’yo. Lahat ng pwedeng ibigay sa’yo, ibinigay ko na. At ibibigay ko yun nang paulit-uilit ng walang pagdadalawang-isip. Lahat. Hindi ko naman alam kung anong nakakaselos sa pagpunta ko dito sa Japan. Jusko wag mong sabihin na nagseselos ka sa kaibigan ko? Kasama ko naman si Alchris, wala akong gagawing kalokohan dito. At kahit mag-isa ako, takot ko lang na may gawing hindi mo gusto noh. Gusto ko pang magkaroon ng dalawang anak; isang kamukha ko at isang kamukha mo. Paano matutupad yun kung hindi na ko sisinagan ng araw? Pero seryoso Rhi, kahit wala akong bantay behave lang ako. Gusto ko lang naman manood ng concert, yun lang. Hindi naman ako mangchi-chix. Hindi rin titingin sa iba. Diba nga kahit pa malayo sa iyong mga halik at ako’y masabik, sa’yo pa rin? Kaya wag ka na sanang magalit. Or magtampo. Or magselos. I heart you, Lablab.
