ASHMATT ONE SHOTS

TGUUnplugged

Sarah: Lovey, hi! Nasa Manila ka na ba? (Greeted him on the phone)
Matt: Yes Love. I know you are busy now so alam ko na to give you space.
Sarah (smiles): Ang bait talaga ng Lovey ko. We are starting rehearsals in a while. This is for the Great Unknown Unplugged and for the Bacolod BDO concert na rin.
Matt: Ahm...Lovey. Is it ok with you if I watch sa Unplugged?
Sarah: Love.....I don't think it's a good idea. Huwag na lang.
Matt: Di ba nakawatch naman ako sa gig niyo? It will be just the same.
Sarah: Lovey, eh medyo private venue naman yun. Fans expect you to be there...but parang mas madidistract ako pag nandun ka.
Matt (sighs): Ok....
Sarah: Hey...huwag ka na magtampo ok? At tsaka may tickets ka na ba?
Matt: Never mind....Sige magrehearsal ka na. Lab you! (Ends the call before she could answer back)

Sarah's POV
Naku nagtampo na naman Matt-Matt ko. I know he is supportive all the time sa lahat ng mga projects ko and ganun din ako sa kanya. I guess hindi pa ako ready na kami na and nasa audience siya.....takot lang ako maulit yung kay Ge. Pero alam ko iba si Matt....basta iba siya.

MG: Son, how's your back? Masakit ba?
Matt: It's bearable.
MG: Then how come you are just sitting there frowning?
Matt: Sarah doesn't want me to watch her show.
MG: Hmmmm....I guess you know her better than anyone. Ano ang reason ya?
Matt: She said madidistract daw siya. She really wanted this show for her fans....eh fan niya rin naman ako.
MG: You have to give it to her. As long as you show your support to her.
Matt: I already bought 3 VIP tickets. I was thinking to bring you and Pao. I guess hanapan ko na lang kung sino bibigyan ko. I'm sure she also doesn't want any of my family to be there.
MG (smiles and she knows how much her son loves Sarah): You just have to understand her... (Puts an arm around his shoulder)

After rehearsal she kept checking her phone for messages but wala man lang isang text kay Matteo.
MD: Nak, matutunaw na yang phone mo. Sino ba ang hinihintay mo?
Sarah: Si Matteo po kasi....
MD: Yan na nga ang sinasabi ko e. Nagkatampuhan na naman kayo.
Sarah: Ayaw ko kasing manuod siya ng show ko.
MD: O...Bakit naman? Backstage?
Sarah: My...huwag na. Hindi ako komportable pag nandun siya. Pagpyestahan na naman.
MD: Nak, gusto niya lang siguro ipakita nag suporta niya dahil ikaw nga nagpunta Sa Cebu para sa kanya. Pero ikaw ang bahala....saludo din naman ako kay Matteo. Siguradong mababash na naman yan.
Sarah became quiet.....Oo nga no....mababash na naman siya. Kawawa naman....

The day before her concert sa Bacolod....early morning.....
Sarah: Hi Lovey! Nasa Alabang ka?
Matt: Hi...still on my bed. Why? Papunta na kayo ng airport? Di ba hapon pa flight mo?
Sarah: You have to get up now and meet me downstairs.
Matt: What?!!! (Suddenly sit up on bed) Aw! (Grimaced as he felt sharp pain on his back)
Sarah: Lovey?! (Ran towards his room and knocked on the door....Matt opened it and surprised to see her) Are you ok? Ikaw kasi nag bike kaagad pagdating mo from Cebu.
Matt hugged her and kissed her hair.
Matt: I am now! What are you doing here? This early?
Sarah: Gusto ko lang isurprise ka and alam ko may tampo ka pa sa akin. Ok lang ba ang likod mo?
Matt: Slight pain...bearable. Sumakit lang kanina kasi biglang napaupo ako when I knew na nasa baba ka.
Sarah: Tara breakfast tayo. I brought may peacemaking dish....eggs Benedict.
They ate breakfast together and later stayed by the poolside while waiting for Mommy Divine to pick her up then head to the airport.
Sarah: Ok na tayo ha? Now you know why I don't want you to be there sa show. Ayaw ko lang na madidiktahan tayo on what to do and just give in to expectations especially of the media. At tsaka alam mo naman kung paano na nakapaprivate ng pamilya ko. Ayaw ko rin malagay ka awkward state na you might not also know how to react.
Matt: I don't really get where you at...Pero I respect your wish. Pero pwede naman siguro ako mag post sa Instagram ko? To show na I support you pa rin?
Sarah: Ikaw ang bahala. Pero hindi mo ako sinagot....may ticket ka ba talaga?
Matt: Oo nga....I bought tickets. I might give it to somebody else.
Sarah: Tickets? Wow naman...Ang sweet mo talaga Lovey. Support kung support (touch his face lovingly)
Matt: You know that I will always be you fan (kisses her palm and slowly inches his face towards her) And you know what more can take my tampo....this (he kissed her lips and slowly nibbled as she placed her hand behind his nape)
He slowly licked her lips as trying to gain entrance and she let out a soft moan as she let his tongue in. They continued kissing for a few minutes until Matt broke the kiss and rest his forehead on hers.
Matt: Oh Sarah....you just don't have any idea what you do to me. I love you very much.
Sarah: I love you too...smiles.
Matt: Ingat ka dun sa Bacolod ha? Huwag medyo lumapit kay Ronnie.
Sarah (laughs): Ikaw talaga. Opo...alam mo naman na ikaw lang mahal ko.

The day of the show......
Matt: Good luck sa show Lovey. I just called to wish you luck. I'm sure it's a sold out show. Sa Bacolod nga super successful ang BDO concert mo.
Sarah: Thanks Lovey. Sabi ko naman kay Boss Vic sa music museum na lang e. Baka walang manood. I'm nervous....Pero sabi ko kahit half of Kia lang magpeperform pa rin ako.
Matt (smiles....ganyan ang girlfriend niya...superstar na walang bilib sa kakayahan niya): Lovey, ang cute mo. You are THE ONE AND ONLY SARAH GERONIMO! Alam ni Boss Vic yun and everyone else. Hindi kasya ang popsters sa music museum (laughs). Just remember ako, your family and all your supporters believe in you. We will always be here behind you no matter what. I love you! Nandito lang ako sa bahay nursing my back pain.
Sarah: Ingat ka and drink your meds. Thank you so much for the love and support.
Matt: Anytime Love. Just remember na I will still be watching kahit wala ako diyan.
Sarah: Talaga lang ha? Dapat yata ikaw ang BDO endorser e....you always find ways (laughs)

Kitty: O Matt! Will you stop calling halos every 30minutes?
Matt: Nasa venue ka na? Please update me every now and then.
Kitty: Mayor ha...salamat sa tickets pero grabe nakakastress ka. I already bought the flowers you requested and kararating lang namin and the show hasn't started yet. Chill ka lang diyan.
Matt: I already called Mackoy and Youssef nakulitan din yata hindi na nag reply when I texted.
Kitty: Naku naman nagseset up na mga yun. Bilib din naman ako sa inyong dalawa mag concert or mapa show the same team. Dumadami ang racket ng mga taong dumidikit sa inyo (laughs)
Matt: Hindi naman. Basta Ate update me. Thank you!
Kitty: Naku Matty...Kung hindi ko lang kayo mahal.

Matt learned from Ate Kitty that Sarah cried in the show. I was asking for a video but she was not able to get it. He searched Twitter for a video and found it in one of the fans video. He wanted so much to give her a hug in that instance. He knows that she sometimes feel that she is losing her fame being the most humble person that he knows. He always tell her how great and amazing she is but she is also one person who is shy when people praises her. He watched FB live of Youssef with Sarah singing Ikot Ikot and he was in awe. She is truly amazing! He waited a few minutes after the show then he texted her congratulations. His phone rings......
Sarah: Hi Lovey! Thank you for the flowers. Si Ate Kitty pala ang sugo mo ha. (Laughs) We are on the way home na.
Matt: Congratulations Love! You were amazing as always. You're welcome on the flowers. One bouquet lang nga yan and you deserve buong flowershop (laughs). I am super proud of you. Singing all your original songs in an intimate heartfelt show.
Sarah: Super saya. Never ko na imagine na makagawa ng ganitong show and nagulat ako sold out.
Matt: Believe me my dear Sarah...I never doubted na hindi mo makakaya. You are amazing beyond words. Pero lovey please huwag ka na umiyak kagaya kanina....it really breaks my heart to see you in tears.
Sarah: Hindi ko napigilan e.....overwhelming emotions. Napakasaya ko na after all these years nandiyan pa rin sila.
Matt (smiles): For those who truly love you...they will always be there for you. Like them.... I will always be with you...Forever.

😍 Congratulations to the one and only SARAH GERONIMO! 🎉👏🏻🎉
