"It's not a good idea—" he said.
"Oh no.. No. It's a NO—" she said.
"Bakit? Meron pa ba feelings for each other?" Tanong ni Direk Cathy.
Pinatawag ng Viva and Star Magic is Sarah and Gerald. They were getting a lot of tweets and emails and fans request to bring back Sarah and Gerald back on TV or big screen. Both management thinks its a good idea. Since matagal na silang walang project together and they are sure na they both have moved on na. Thyey both have different lives.
"No!" They both answered and then looked at each other.
"I me— mean I have," Gerald said scanning through a MMK script. "I— I have moved on. Yeah."
Hearing those words come of from Gerald's mouth made Sarah's heart broke into pieces. She looks at him and he can't barely look at her. She became angry and bitter. "Yes! I have moved on too. Matagal na!" She said staring at him.
He look at her.
"Yun naman pala eh. Anong problema?" Tanong ni Direk Cathy. "Na tatakot ba kayo na baka bumalik ang mga feelings?"
"There was never an us kaya walang feelings na babalik," sabi ni Gerald habang naka tingin kay Sarah. He really knows how to push her buttons.
"You're right! The love was never there." Sarah fires back at him. "And there will never be an US."
They start bickering. Nag paparinigan to each other. Direk Cathy, the writers and other staff are just watching them. Lingon to the left pag si Sarah nag sasalita. And lingon yo the right pag si Gerald naman ang nag sasalita.
"You're a coward!" They both yell at each other.
"Okay!!" Sigaw ni Direk Cathy. "Obvious nga na naka move on na kayo talaga! After 8 years. Naka move on na nga!" Nag bibirong sabi ni Direk at natatawa naman ang mga tao sa conference room. "Sige. Hindi namin kayo mapipilit."
"Sarah, Gerald. We can't really avoid a highly demands from fans and others," sabi ng isang writer. "As you know we get our sweldos from the fans. You two will not be here without them."
"Tama!" Dagdag ng isa pang writer. "I think you owe them this."
Natahimik naman ang dalawa. They know what the writers said is true. Ma pride lang silang dalawa.
"How about we take some baby steps. Like built your love team again like before," one of the writers suggested. "We'll do something light."
"A dance number on ASAP!" Excited na sabi ng isang writer na bakla. "Or a song number."
Kinukwento nya kay Matt ang nangyari sa meeting kanina. She talked about how arrogant Gerald was but didn't mentioned anything about what they said to each other. She keeps talking and talking but Matt doesn't seem to have interest. He's just playing with his phone.
"Ikaw? Ano ba gusto mo?" Tanong ni Matt sa kanya.
"I want to work peacefully," sarah answered while she prepare the dinner table to them. They're hanging out at her parent's house. The Geronimo aren't home. It's just them two and the house maids.
"Yeah. Right! Keep wishing," he chuckled. "Saan ka naman naka kita ng showbiz life na peacefully working."
"I know." She sigh. "Whatever I'm just gonna do it. Dance number lang naman. And it's for the fans."
"Sure. Whatever you say," Mateo said and goes back to his game on his phone.
"Okay let's do this!" Gerald said entertaining the G Force dance center on a late Saturday afternoon.
"Sandali lang Ge na stuck sa traffic is Sars. She'll be a little late," sabi ni Gelai.
"What's new? Lagi naman nag papahintay yun," he murmurs.
Ram started showing him some steps sa sayaw.
Sarah running through the double doors. "Sorry. Sorry. I'm late."
"It's okay Sars," sabi ni Gelai.
Ram and Gelai is briefing Sarah and Gerald to the song and how will the dance will go. "The song is We Don't Talk Anymore by Selena Gomez and Charlie Puth," Ram said. "It's very light and not a lot of contact. Okay ba yun sa inyo?"
"Basically meron kayong solos tapos towards the end chorus doon na meron contact," Gelai explained. "So, watch me and Ram tapos ituturo namin sa inyo."
They sit about five feet away from each other. Quietly they watch Ram and Gelai dance. Gerald carefully watches Ram while Sarah listen to the lyrics of the song.
"... We don't talk anymore...
... We don't talk anymore...
... We don't talk anymore like we use to do..."

"Good morning babe!!!" Sarah wakes up Gerald with bed and breakfast. "Happy Wednesday!" She gave him a peck on the lips.
He smile widely. "Good morning! Ang saya natin ngayon ah!"
"Of course! It's Wednesday!" She lays down with him under the covers. She put the breakfast tray on the night stand. "Sorry, hindi na ako naka uwi kagabi. I was so busy." She cuddled with him.
Gerald embraced her tightly. "Lonely is the night when I'm not with you, lonely is the night when no light shining through..." He sang in his sintunado voice.
She couldn't help but laugh.
They spent their whole Wednesday talking, laughing, eating and relaxing. Every Wednesday that's their thing. They never seems to run out of things to talk about. Kahit hindi maganda pinag uusapan nila or nag aaway sila they can never stand a minute without talking to each other.

"Okay ba Sarah?" Tanong ni Gelai. But Sarah didn't answer. She was lost day dreaming. "Sarah? Okay ka lang?"
Gerald look at them. Marami na kasi Sarah ang nabanggit ni Gelai hindi pa rin sumasagot si Sarah.
The music stops at doon lang natauhan si Sarah. Tumulo ang mga luha nya. "Ha?"
Gelai hands her a tissue. "Everything okay?"
She wipe her tears away. "Always!" She fake smile. "Show me." She walk towards the center of the room, ready to learn the dance steps.
