Behind The Scenes

We're Just Friends (JeRa)

~

It's such a busy day for everyone in the set. Today is Friday and everything should be done quick. From the VTR, to the shoot itself kaya sobrang occupied ni Ara ngayon na nakalimutan niya nang may dinner sila ng boyfriend niya.

Si Ara ay isang model at the same time, business woman. Side line niya lang ang pagiging model dahil sa kaibigan na si Jeron Teng. Si Jeron naman ay isang director/ photographer by passion pero Architect by profession. May new task si Jeron, and that is to finish the music video of Thomas Torres just before he launches his new EP worldwide.

"Okay! It's a wrap for today! Thank you everyone! You guys get some rest and I'll see you again tomorrow!" Jeron finally said that made all the crews sigh in relief. They've been here nga naman for almost 6 hours and they're far from done. "Great shoot today Thomas and Ars! Good job for the both of you. Mind if we have dinner together? My treat." He said as he put his arms on their shoulders. They've been friends since college and obviously until now that they're successful in the industry. "Sorry Je but I forgot I have a dinner date with Kib." Ara said obviously in a hurry since its past 9PM and she's so late for their dinner. "Oh no Ars. I invited Kib to dinner too. He's been texting me non stop asking for you for the last 2 hours." Jeron said non chalantly waiting for both their yes. "Thom?" He asked the man whose so busy helping his personal alalay, Bea. "Yeah Bro. I'm hungry na din eh" And Jeron finally heaved a loud yes. "Ars? Are you in?" He asked the lady one more time. "All set. Lets go!" Was her reply as she went straight to the door and left the two gentlemen standing in front of her in shock. "C'mon! Aren't you guys hungry?" She said as she gestured that 'come to mama' hand gesture that I really don't know how to explain. 'Takaw talaga' was in Jeron and Thomas' mind but nevertheless they started walking towards Ara.

"Hi babe. I'm sorry I've been busy kanina talaga." Ara said as soon as he saw his very patient boyfriend and gave him a peck on the lips. "Yeah so busy that I even have to flood Jeron's phone just to know your whereabouts." Kib said in a jokingly manner. "Sorry bro." Kib told Jeron. "No need to say sorry bro. You just did your job as Ara's boyfriend." Jeron said as he pats Kib's shoulder. "Okay. Enough with that chit chat my dear bestfriends we need to eat." Thomas finally said after trying to act patient but his tummy isn't. And they all laughed well except for that man who is nearly to eat them alive because of hunger.

Their dinner was quiet. What do you expect? They're all hungry. Until one spoke, "Shit. Gotta attend the call first. Excuse me for a sec." Kib said once he heard his phone beeped. They all nodded their head in reply.

*blag!* (its a sound of utencils dropped on the floor)

Thomas' forhead creased once he heard that noise. "Sorry" sabay na sabi ni Jeron at Ara na nagpa kunot lalo sa noo ni Thomas. On the other hand, bigla naman tinignan ni Ara si Jeron ng masama at pinanlakihan pa siya ng mata. Ano nga ba nangyayari sa kanilang dalawa?

Meanwhile, Kib has to go kasi he has an emergency sa clinic. Yung isa niyang patient was in a critical stage kaya di niya maihahatid si Ara home kaya naman naiwan siya kasama sila Jeron at Thomas. "Who wants to go for an ice cream parlor?" The lady asked the two since they obviously don't want to go home yet tho its a little bit late, they don't have work naman aside from the shoot at 1pm. "Really Ara at 11pm? You seriously don't want to rave instead?" Thomas suggested. "Mr. Thomas Torres, I want to chill just for a moment. A quiet place would be a delight for now." Ara said as she make pag pag Thomas' shirt. "Ice cream parlor will do bro! I haven't eaten some for like a decade or so." Note the sarcasm in Jeron's statement. "2 against 1. What would you say Mr. Popular?" Ara said and formed a smirk. "Ughh. You always win." Thomas finally said and Ara automatically jumped in glee and dragged the two into the nearest ice cream parlor.
