Eh Yung Hindi Naman Tayo? DATI (COMPLETED)

The Meeting - 1

RJ

"Nay, nakalimutan niyo po. Flight na namin sa Sunday kaya di po kami makakapunta ni RJ diyan." You say to Nanay over the phone and I am amused as to how your expression changed so quickly from that triumphant grin to that adorable pout. It looks like Nanay is not taking your excuse for us not to see them this weekend.

"Nanay, Sabado po yun. May Bulaga pa kami tapos rehearsals ni RJ sa gabi for SPS." You argue but it seems Nanay won't budge because your frown deepens. "Ha? Seryoso? Uuwi naman po talaga ako. Kukuha ako ng gamit. Next time na lang po si RJ. Mga next year ganoon." You continue to pout. "Opo, Nanay. Sorry po. Opo. Sasabihin ko po. Wag niyo na pong tawagan. Ako na pong kakausap. Okay, Nay. See you po. Love you. Bye."

You end the call and sigh. I move closer to you as we sit on the couch and you lean your head on my shoulder.

"Bakit daw?" I ask.

"Pinapapunta talaga tayo. Dahil di daw pwede ng Linggo, sa Sabado na lang. Kahit daw gabihin na, maghihintay daw sila. Mapilit eh. Sorry." You say and take my hand. "Hindi mo naman kailangan pumunta kung hindi talaga pwede." You sigh as you lazily draw circles on my palm.

"Pwede ako." I smile.

"Pero yung rehearsals mo."

"Basta. Pwede ako. Aalis na lang ako nang maaga."

"Sure ka?"

"Sure na sure. Kinakabahan ka ba?"

"Medyo lang. Alam ko na kasi to. I've seen it with Kuya John and Ate Niki and Mike and Coleen. It's THE talk." You shake your head.

"Kahit ano pa yan, handa ako. Mahal kita. Malinis ang intensiyon ko sa'yo at handa akong sundin ang gusto ng parents mo." I pull you closer to me and kiss the top of your head.

You look up to me and smile. "Thank you, RJ, for loving me the way you do."

"No. Thank you, Meng, for letting me." I smile and touch my forehead and nose on yours.

"I love you." You whisper.

"I love you more." I whisper back and gently kiss your lips.

We share many more longer kisses after that, varying from soft, deep, hard, slow, eager and intense but all loving as we cuddle and whisper how much we love each other until it was time for me to say goodnight and leave.

Meng

"Wow! Ang dami naman nito." I gasp when I get to the dining area of our house in Bulacan.

"Ewan ko diyan sa boyfriend mo, kung makapagpadala ng pagkain dito parang sampung baranggay ang pakakainin. Pati sa office nagpadala ang dami din. Kaloka siya. Guilty much?" Coleen grins at me as she sits on one of the chairs inspecting the food the was delivered ahead of me, probably checking for those low calorie stuff she likes eating nowadays or the famous Concha's turon because she can't resist that.

"Hoy! Anong guilty? Wala namang ginagawang masama yung tao." I glare at her.

"Wala?" She says with a raised eyebrow. "So yung labi mo nakagat ng langgam? At yang leeg mo, napaso ng curling iron?"

"Huy!" Was all I could say as I feel heat on my cheeks and consciously cover my neck with my hair.

"Luuuh... Ang lalandi. Hoy Menggay! Mauuna ako ha. Tsaka ka na mag-asawa." She adds, slapping my thigh.

"Aray!" I pout and rub my thigh. "Lugi naman ako niyan. Eh kung hindi pa kayo magkatuluyan ni Mike?"

"Hoy! Walangya ka! Wag mong i-jinx! Buset to. Kumatok ka diyan sa lamesa at kagatin mo tong stick. Hayop." She shrieks, shoving a piece of wood from a tabletop decor.

"Ayoko nga." I say, crossing my arms over my chest as I move away from her.

She stands up and chases me still shoving the wood to my face. "Kagatin mo! Kagatin mo!" She yells.

"Ayoko nga!" I yell back as I run away.

Pretty soon we are running at yelling at each other around the dining room.

"Menggay! Coleen!" Nanay scowls at us with a hand on her hip. "Ano ba yan?"

We both stop abruptly. "Sorry, Nay." We say with our heads bowed.

"Parang mga bata. Magsisipag-asawa na kayo uy. Umayos kayo."

"Ako lang po, Nay. Wag ka pong papayag na mauna si Meng." Coleen pouts making me chuckle.

"Aba. Malay ko ba. Ang Tatay ang bahal diyan." Nanay answers. "Menggay, buti pa ayusin mo na ang mga gamit na dadalhin mo. Anong oras daw darating si RJ?"

"After rehearsals daw po, Nay. Baka mga alas diyes na po ng gabi. Okay pa po ba yun?"

"Sige. Hihintayin namin." Nanay states dismissively and looks at us before leaving.

"Halaaaah... Mukhang nakita yung paso ng curling iron." Coleen teases.

I keep quiet as I stare after Nanay wishing for the earth to swallow me whole.

RJ, utang na loob. Wag ka nang pumunta.
