Payb Takes Book 3

Mag-Uyab

July 16, Before JnP, Broadway backstage:

R: *sits beside M while they wait to be called for the next segment* Hi Maine. *snickers, sometimes pretending that they're not together is fun for them, that particular occasion with so many people crowded backstage calls for such pretension*

M: *giggles* Hi Alden. Gusto mo? *offers a piece of cake on the plate in front of her*

R: Busog pa ako eh. Ikaw? Kumain ka na ba? *grins, he knows she has eaten lunch because he was the one who secretly fixed her a plate earlier and was told she finished the food*

M: *holds back a laughter* Hindi pa nga eh.

R: Talaga ba?

M: Wala kasing nagbigay sa akin.

R: Sigurado ka?

M: Oo. Kung may boyfriend lang ako...

R: *scowls at M*

M: Bakit? *giggles*

R: *whispers* Di na nakakatawa. Baka may hopeful pa diyan na makarinig sa'yo.

M: *whispers back* Hayaan mong marinig nila. All hope is lost for them kasi Mrs. Faulkerson na ako. *grins* Eto. Ikain mo na lang yan. *giggles as she feeds R a big piece of cake*

R: *laughs as he covers his mouth with his hand trying to chew to cake*

Ruby: Ay ang sweet talag nila, Bash oh. Sinusubuan pa ni Ate Maine si Kuya Alden. *tells Baste who is sitting in front of the two, observing them as they are trapped in their own bubble*

Baste: Ako din po. Subo ako cake ni Yaya Dub.

Ruby: Ako na lang, baby. Busy na si Yaya Dub. May Alden na siya.

Baste: *frowns and pouts* Ako man love niya.

Ryan: Paano pag mas love niya si Kuya Alden?

R: Ano yun? Sino may love sa akin?

Ryan: Kunwari ka pa. Sino ba gusto mo may love sa'yo?

R: *looks at M and grins mischievously*

Ruby: Yun na nga. Tinitigan na. Kinukuha sa tingin. Makukuha kaya?

M: *stares back at R, smiles, nods*

R: *leans closer and touches their foreheads together*

AK: Sweet sila, Bash. Uyab man sila.

R: Ako na lang love ni Yaya Dub. *hugs M and sticks his tongue out to Baste*

Baste: Dili. Ako lang love.

AK: Si Kuya Alden na. Siya man uyab niya.

Baste: Dili. Bawal mag-uyab. Ako lang love niya. *furrows his eyebrows, pouts*

R: *makes a Baste impression, furrows his eyebrows and pouts* Dili. Ako lang love.

Baste: *glares at R and pouts, flustered and teary-eyed*

R: *continues to taunt the little boy by kissing M's cheek*

M: Huy... Tama na nga yan. Iiyak na yung bata oh. *pushes R away and faces Baste* Bash... Halika. *smiles*

Baste: *looks down*

M: Baste... Baby, gusto mo cake?

Baste: Ayaw. Kay Kuya Alden yan.

Ruby: Halaaaah... Nagselos sa cake.

R: Akin to. *grabs the cake* Aray! *yelps when M smacks his arm*

M: Ang sutil mo. Umalis ka nga dito. Doon ka. Baste... Halika na. Kuha tayong ibang cake.

Baste: *huffs out a deep sigh, crosses his arms over his chest, frowns*

M: Naku ayaw na akong tignan. *pokes R's nose* Ikaw kasi sutil ka. Mag-sorry ka na.

R: Sorry, Baste. Halika na dito. *moves his chair away from M* Ayan oh. Di na ako lalapit kay Ate Maine. Halika na.

Baste: *continues to scowl and ignore them*

M: *stands up and walks towards Baste* Baby...

Baste: *gets up and runs to his Mom*

M: Halaaaah... Nagtampo talaga si Baste. Paano na?

R: Ikaw kasi wag ka magbo-boyfriend may magseselos *grins*

M: Tse! Sutil ka talaga. Break na tayo. *rolls eyes*

R: *laughs* Hindi mo ako pwedeng i-break. *whispers* Annulment kailangan mo.

M: *glares at R* Gusto mo ba?

R: Wag! Susmaryosep! Joke lang. Ayan na. Ako na manunuyo kay Baste.

M: Dapat lang.

Ruby: Baste, wag ka na daw magtampo. Love ka naman nila oh. Tignan mo, sad na si Yaya Dub.

Baste: *peeks over his mom's shoulder to look at R&M*

M: *pouts and gestures from Baste to go to her but he still refuses*

AK: Baste, ayaw na kasuko. Di man na sila mag-uyab. Minyo na sila. *laughs*

Baste: *walks out*

R: Halaaaah... Ma'am Allan, ano ba sinabi niyo bakit nag-walk out?

AK: Sabi ko wag na magalit, di naman kayo mag-syota, mag-asawa kayo. Ayun nagalit lalo.

R: Ma'am Allan! Ano ba yan? Lagot na.

*FD calls everyone on stage*

M: Ano na gagawin natin kay Baste?

R: Mamaya kausapin natin.

M: Ang hirap pala noh?

R: Nang alin?

M: Kunwari pag may preschooler na tayo tapos biglang magkaka-baby na bago. Ganoon pala sila magtampo.

R: Kung magmamana sa'yo mga anak natin, malamang ganoon nga. *laughs* Aray! *rubs the arm M just smacked* Nakakadami ka na ah.

M: Ikaw kasi. Kausapin natin mamaya si Baste ha? Mahirap magtampo ang bata.

R: Okay. Love?

M: Ano?

R: Natatakot ka na ba ulit? Mahirap di lang mag-buntis at manganak pati pagpapalaki ng bata.

M: *hugs R's arm and lean her head on his shoulder* Hindi kasi ikaw ang kasama ko. *sighs*

R: *smiles, whispers, hugs M* Love you.

M: Love you too. 💛🍃
