"Love, are you okay?" I asked you over the phone when I called you during a break in our rehearsals.
An invisible hand sank to my chest and squeezed my heart when I heard the deep sigh that followed that question.
"I'm okay." You answered.
That was always your answer but I know it was not always true especially not now.
"You should stop reading those write ups and negative comments, Love." I said.
"I have. Kinuha na ni Kat yung phone ko. Don't worry about me. May kasama naman ako dito. I'll be fine. Just focus on your work muna." You told me.
"I will. Breaktime namin sa rehearsals when I saw the tweets. That's why I called you. Sa ngayon, hindi ko muna inaalala ang trabaho, ikaw muna."
"Breaktime pala. You should be resting. Kumain ka na ba? Or uminom ng water? Baka pawis ka na. Magpalit ka muna."
"Nicomaine, wag mong ibahin ang usapan."
"I'm not. I'm really worried about you."
"Ganoon din ako sa'yo. Kung gaano ka mag-alala sa akin, i-multiply mo ng 100 times. Ganoon ang worry ko ngayon na parang kinukuyog ka na naman tapos wala ako diyan." I sighed and closed my eyes as I slumped down on a seat in the theatre far away from everyone else.
"Don't worry too much. Hindi ko na masyadong pinansin. Sanay na ako sa ganyan. Di ba normal na yun sa atin? Pinalaki na naman nila masyado."
"It shouldn't. This shouldn't be normal."
"Eh sa ganoon na eh. Wala naman tayong magagawa."
I sighed but could not disagree to what you said. It was the truth, the sad truth that we live.
"Bakit ba kasi andun na naman yun?" I asked.
"Yun din ang tanong ko eh. Parang buni, kung saan-saan sumusulpot at makulit pa ang hirap paalisin." You chuckled and I laughed at the comparison.
"I honestly didn't know he was there until after the concert when he approached me to say hi. Bad trip na bad trip si Ola nun gusto na mag-walkout na kami pero I said hi back pa rin. Nakakahiya naman bastusin ko yung buni at supladahan sa harap ng lahat. You believe me right? Kahit anong sabihin nang iba?"
"Kahit ano pang picture, video o kwento pa ang makita ko, sa'yo ako maniniwala. I believe you, Love." I said.
"Thank you, Love. I was really just being nice kahit naman sabihin pang he doesn't deserve it. Yun kasi ang turo sa akin ni Saint Alden Richards, makitungo nang maayos kahit minsan gusto mo na sapakin ang kaharap mo." You giggled and I laughed harder.
"Saint Alden Richards talaga ha?"
"Eh kasi naman sa sobrang bait mo, pwede ka na talaga maging santo." You laughed.
"Alam mong malayo ako dun." I spoke in a low and serious tone with a little smirk on my lips. "Remember that night before my flight..." I left the words hanging and let the memories start rolling in my head, your delicate fingers combing through my hair, your thick eyelashes fanning your flustered cheeks, your delicious lips moaning my name, your beautiful naked body on my bed.
"Iba naman yun." You answered in a small voice, followed by a nervous giggle.
I bit my lip as I imagined your lovely innocent smile towards me while you crossed your legs.
"I miss you, Love." I said softly.
"I miss you too." You whispered. "I love you, Jay. Ikaw lang."
"I love you more, Menggay ko. Ikaw lang." I smiled. "Are you sure okay ka na?"
"Yes. Lilipas din naman yan. Hopefully, maliwanagan din ang lahat. Kung hindi naman and others would still continue to judge me, that's their choice. Ang importante, ikaw, ang mga pamilya natin, mga kaibigan at mg totoong sumusuporta at naniniwala."
"Tama. Basta sa ating dalawa, walang issue, walang away, malinaw ang katotohanan at buo ang tiwala, okay tayo." I said. "Love?"
"Hmmm?"
"Just please take extra care of yourself while I'm away."
"I will. Ikaw din diyan. Remember all that I told you baka maligaw ka diyan." You chuckled.
"Grabe siya." I laughed. "Di baleng maligaw ako dito basta sigurado ang uwi ko ay sa'yo. Sa'yo lang, mahal ko."
