Payb Takes Book 3

I-Heli Mo

October 6, 2017, 7am:

M: Love... *hugs R from the back as he puts food on their plate for breakfast, scooping the egg from the pan and plating it, leans her cheek on his shirtless back*

R: Hmmm? Ang lambing naman talaga. *smiles widely, turns to face M after putting the plate on the counter, wraps his warms around her waist* Bakit? Ano yun?

M: Baranggay na lang ako today ha?

R: *frowns* Hindi. Broadway tayo di ba? Bakit naman?

M: *shrugs* I don't know. I just... Basta parang di ko feel mag-Broadway.

R: *holds her arms and looks into his eyes* Love, kung ano man yan, alam mo naman na nandoon ako di ba? Hindi naman kita pababayaan.

M: *sighs* I know. *touches R's face* Of course I know. I'm always safe when I'm with you. Tayo na lang dalawa sa baranggay.

R: Naku, Love. Kahapon pwede pa pero ngayon hindi talaga, may event ako.

M: *sighs* Di ka talaga papayag na mag-Baranggay ako?

R: Hindi. Kung saan ako, doon ka din. Kung saan ka, dun din ako. Lagi tayong busy eh so lahat nang pagkakataon na pwede tayong magkasama, wag na nating palampasin.

M: Pero...

R: Enough, Nicomaine. Kalimutan mo nang may kakilala kang Richard Faulkerson Jr. pag di ka sumama sa Broadway.

M: Hala siya. Gumanti. *giggles* Sige na nga. Totoong pangalan eh. Kung si Alden Richards lang yun, magba-baranggay ako.

R: *laughs* Gumanti ka din eh. *pinches her nose* Basta ha? Akong bahala sa'yo. Hinding-hindi kita pababayaan. *kisses her forehead* I love you so much.

M: Alam ko naman. Alam na alam ko kaya lagi akong kampante pag kasama ka. *poked his nose* I love you more.

R: *grins, cups the base of her head, rubs their noses together, whispers on her lips* I love you most. *kisses her passionately* Let's go! *lifts M into his arms and walks out of the kitchen*

M: *giggles* Saan?

R: Ligo na tayo. *grins*

M: *smirks* Ligo? Ligo lang talaga?

R: Oo naman. Anong tingin mo sa akin? Puro harot lang ang nasa isip?

M: *raised her eyebrow* Hindi ba? Yung totoo?

R: *sighs* Sa'yo pa ba ako magde-deny? *laughs* Eh di siyempre oo. Halika na. Huminga ka na nang malalim, mapapalaban ka. *smirks*

M: Halaaaah... *squeals when R sets her down on the bathroom counter and pulls her shirt off*

Broadway, After JFAAFJ:

JDL: *hugs M* Sorry talaga, Maine.

M: *swallows the painful lump on her throat and blinks back her tears* Okay lang po, Tito Jo.

R: *sighs and joins the hug*

JDL: Bakit kasama ka dito?

R: Package deal po yung hug.

JDL: *chuckles* Ayaw mo lang palugi sa hug. Lamang na lamang ka na nga. Sige na. Ikaw na lang mag-hug. *drops a kiss on the top of M's head and gives her a little squeeze before letting go*

M: *wraps her arms around R's torso and leans on his chest*

JDL: Okay tayo ha?

M: *smiles and nods her head* Opo. Okay po tayo. Pamilya ko po kayo eh.

JDL: *smiles back* Tama. Anak ka namin dito eh.

R: To Jo, una na po kami ha? May event pa po kasi ako.

JDL: Sige. Ingat. Hosts' area na ako.

R: Okay po.

M: *looks at R after JDL left* Bakit tayo? Di ba ikaw lang may event? Di pa tapos ang show, may Jackpot and Poy pa at maga-announce pa ng winners mamaya. 

R: Ayun nga. Kita mo naman kung sino ang kasali dun. May palaka.

M: Ah si ano. Bakit palaka?

R: Echosero. Paka-plastic namputsa. Kunwari kaibigan natin, manga-gago din pala gaya nung bestfriend niyang gago. Bunutin ko kilay nun gamit ang plies nang makita niya. *grits his teeth and balls his fists*

M: Halaaaah... Kalma lang po. *gently rubs his chest* Kinakabahan ako pag ganyan na itsura mo. You look like you're about to hit someone.

R: I will. You know I will. Subukan lang niyang lumapit sa'yo.

M: Uy... *cradles his face* Tama na. Okay na. Aalis na tayo. Papahatid na ako sa condo, andun na sina Ate Niki.

R: Hindi. Ako maghahatid sa'yo. *tells M still with a stern expression*

M: Love, wag na. Out of the way. Male-late ka. Traffic.

R: Lilipad ako. Ako nang bahala dun. Problema ko na yun. Basta ihahatid kita.

M: Love...

R: Nicomaine. *speaks in a warning tone*

M: Sabi ko nga. Tara na nga. Ikaw kasi ang kulit mo eh. Let's go! *pulls R's hand and leads him to the exit*

R: Teka yung mga gamit na...

MT: Eto na. Pati kay Meng. Labo niyo. *rolls her eyes and follows R&M to the exit*

M: *looks over her shoulder* Sa kotse mo tayo?

R: Oo.

M: Gaano ba ka-tinted yun? *smirks*

R: May kumot dun. *grins*

M: Ayun! *giggles and runs to the car with R*

MT: *shakes her head, gets her phone, plays music at full volume and put in her earphones* Lam na. 😶
