Love in Showbiz

Chapter 9

Xian drove Kim back home. She stayed quiet with tears on her face. They arrived home and Xian went out of the car to open the door for Kim. He helped her out and took her inside. Kim slumped in on the couch and began to cry again.

Xian put his arms around her "shhh alam ko masakit at mahirap ngayon pero sa wakas magiging okay ka din"

Kim calmed down but still continued to cry

"She's in a better place na at sigurado ako na hindi niya gusto makikita ka nagkakaganyan" sabi ni Xian

"Alam ko yan, pero ang sakit sakit Xian. Never ako inisip na mawawala siya sa akin" iyakin ang boses ni Kim

"I know, kahit sino hindi nila isipin yan. Pero ganun ang buhay, minsan my mawawala na hindi ka naman prepared. Isipin mo lang ang mga tao sa paligid mo, mahal ka namin lahat and we're praying for you. You'll get through this" Xian said to Kim, his voice so sincere.

Niyakap lang si Kim ni Xian. Finally she smiled

"Tingnan mo ngumigniti ka na. Mas maganda ka pag may ngiti sa mukha mo" Xian smiled and wipe the leftover tear on her face.

"Paano kong hindi ngumiti pag may isang Xian na nan jan para sa akin" she laughed but her voice still shakey from crying.

Tumawa si Xian. "Kilala mo naman ako. Gagawin ko ang lahat para masaya ka, para ngumiti ka, gagawin ko ang lahat par sayo. Kung pwede kong naman buhayin si Twinkle, gagawin ko, kahit kailangan ko ibigay yung buhay ko yan ang gagawin ko para magiging masaya ka"

"Salamat Xian salamat ng sobra sobra" ngumiti si Kim sa kanya.

"Wala yan" sabi ni Xian

"O gabi na hindi ka ba uuwi?" Kim asked

"Gusto kita aalagaan, mag isa ka dito at alam ko na lunkot ka parin"

"Hindi kailangan okay lang ako dito, uwi ka na kung ano bang nangyayari sa bahay mo" sabi ni Kim

"Wala kong pakialam kung may nangyari sa bahay ko, babantayan kita sa gusto mo o hindi" Xian laughed

"Sige nga ikaw talaga! Hindi na ako bata" nanbiro si Kim

"Kahit na, aalagaan kita para makalimutan mo ang lunkot mo, okay" Xian said in a funny voice

Tumawa si Kim "Okay"

They both laughed and smiled at each other

"Liligo muna ako okay amoy kong araw" sabi ni Kim

"Sige dito lang ako" Xian said

Pumunta si Kim sa kwarto niya para mag freshen up

Xian decided he would cook something for her to eat, he went into her kitchen and looked for something good to cook for Kim.

Kim finished and went downstairs to look for Xian.

"Xian? Xian saan ka ba?" Kim went to look inside the kitchen and she smelled the wonderful aroma of steak.

"Good evening Miss Chiu gutom ka na ba?" Sabi ni Xian kasamang ngiti.

"Ang bango Xian!! Marunong ka naman magluto!!" Kim smiled

"Oo naman. Oh ito para sayo." Xian placed the steak and rice on her plate and seated her.

"Salamat" Kumain si Kim

"Ang sarap sarap talaga Xian!!"

Tumawa si Xian, "haha thank you" Umupo din si Xian at kumain din siya.

With all the thoughtfulness and caring things Xian did for Kim she almost forgot all the things that have happened today.

When they finished eating they talked about happy things. This continued until 10 at night.

They went upstairs to get ready for bed. Before they went to say goodnight Kim had something to say to Xian.

"Salamat Xian ha, dahil sayo hindi na ako masyadong malunkot"

"Wala yan, masaya din ako kasi natupad ko ang pangarap ko ngayon" Xian told Kim

"Ano?" Kim asked

"Na sasayahin kita" Xian told her with a smile

Ngumiti si Kim at niyakap niya si Xian. They both said their goodnights to each other and went to bed.

Kim was filled with mixed emotions. She was happy but still couldn't take away the pain of her loss.

She began to cry softly suddenly someone knocked on her door.
