What If

Chapter 63

"Alden! Alden! Totoo bang hiwalay na kayo ng girlfriend mo? Alden? Siya ba ang dahilan bakit ka naaksidente?" Habol ng isang reporter.

Papasok si Rj sa isang studio kung saan siya magkakaroon ng live prescon para na rin sa upcoming nilang show pero alam niya na may mga tanong siyang kailangan sagutin labas sa show nila.

"Dito niyo lang po matutunghayan mga sagot sa mga issue sa aksident ni Alden Richards!"

"Ready?" Tanong ni Rj kay Maine.

Maine is staying sa van ni Rj, he gave her a call before going out of the artist room.

"Dito lang ako maghihintay" sabi ni Maine and drop the call. After dropping, Rj's team is teasing Maine.

"Alden? Totoo ba ang bali-balitang hiwalay na kayo ni Maine Mendoza? At siya rin ang dahilan ng aksidenteng kinasangkutan mo nung isang lingo?"

"Pareho pong hindi ang sagot. Hindi po kami naghiwalay, at hindi rin po siya ang dahilan. Alam niyo naman sa isang relasyon hindi palaging masaya, hindi parating sweet. Sabi nga saakin ni bossing. Hindi naman perpekto ang tao, kaya kahit na anong gawin nito ay hindi lahat tama. Madaming nabago. At alam kong may pagkakamali ako dun. Pagkakamali ko na, hinayaan kong pasukin ng magulong mundo ko yung mundong binuo lang namin" he sigh "At alam kong nagkulang ako bilang boyfriend gawin yung mga bagay na makakapagsigurado sakanya na ayos lang ang lahat. Masyado akong naging easy sa relasyon namin na inakala ko ayos lang ang lahat. Pero ngayon we become much stronger. Hindi pwedeng hug and kiss lang lagi, dapat there is time and effort"

"Alden pinagbabawalan ka ba niya mapareha sa iba? Ang away niyo ba dahil sa ipapareha ka daw sa isang artista para sa isang teledrama?"

"Hindi niya ako pinagbabawalan, walang bawal. Talaga ba? Buti pa kayo alam niyo na may teledrama ako" he chuckle so do the audience "wala pong ganun, saka choice ko naman if I stop my carrier"

"So you planning?"

"If we settle down, I'll slow down. If we'll start a family then thats the time I'll stop"

The crowd give him around of applause.

"Ang harot mo sa part na yun" sabi ni Maine pagkasalubong sakanya sa van.

"Gusto mo yun alam ko" and he wiggle his eyebrows

"Oh san na tayo?" Sabi ni MT

"Alam niyo na po ma"

"San tayo pupunta?" Tanong ni Maine pero di kumibo si Rj "Uy love"

"Pahinga ka dyan. Mamaya pagod ka"

"Baliw to"

"Hahaha seryoso" sabi ni Rj and kisses her forehead "Trust me"

After a couple of hours of travel.

"EK????" Sigaw ni Maine at lahat nalang ay natawa sakanya "Seryoso?"

Binuksan na ni Leysam ang pinto because he seated on the front seat.

"Welcome to Enchanted Kingdom!" Bati ni Leysam

"Totoo? Pero paano?"

"Wala ka bang bilib sakin?"

"Bilib na bilib nga ako sayo. Pero Rj this is too public for you"

"Kaya nga andito kami" sabi ni Mama Ten at team ni Rj

"Nakoooo tara na lets get tickets na libre ni Alden to hahaha sulitin!" Sabi ni Leysam and nagulat siya ng habulin siya ni Rj.

Maine deep inside wants to burst into tears. She really doesnt know how to handle this.

The moment they came in lahat na nagtitinginan sa dalawa, Nate and others were pleasing the people not to go near they can take a picture of the two but no selfies at all. Leysam on the other hand is like a tour guide. And Mama Ten makes sure that Maine and Rj are always together.

They rod all the rides in EK, you can see how excited and fascinated they are roaming around EK. Maine on the other feels again she is not with the artist again, she is with her love, her boyfriend and her promise of forever, Richard.

"San mo gustong kumain?"

"Gusto ko ng corn" sabi ni Maine

"Ate isang corn nga po" sabi ni Rj paglapit sa isang stall "Salamat, love oh"

"Salamat! Ikaw? Ano sayo?"

"Share nalang tayo wala pa ko maisip" sabi ni Rj at sinubuan naman siya ni Maine.

Kada stall na madadaanan nila ay namimili sila ng pagkain. Rj on the other side felt he is no longer need the fame, he has everything and anything he needs. He needs her. He is the reward of all the pain and hard work. Yes he consider Maine as the right girl, on the right place at the right time.

Richard's POV

Were on tip top of the ferris wheel, I requested it to the operator to give us a moment up in the air. The other are also in ferris wheel I know MT is not used to this high but because of us he has no choice. You can hear them teasing MT all the way up.

"Are you happy?" Tanong ko kay Maine were on both side her head is on mu shoulder

"Indeed Rj, I am super happy" she smiles and then tears came up "Baby, thank you for everything. Thank you for your patience"

"Love hindi. Sorry dahil naging mahina ako. Masyado akong naging secure"

"Remember this?" Sabi niya and shows up the ring that is sparkling on her left middle finger.

"You wear it again, thank you love"

She stops wearing it when she decide to take a rest.

"Feeling ko kulang ako nung mga araw na di kita nakakasama, oo nakikita kita. But I missed touching you, kissing and hugging. Midnight cuddles and date night"

I give her a peck of kiss.

"I love you"

"I love you more Rj, I realize ang tanga ko para manghina ng ganun. I should be the one who is stronger. Hindi ko pala kaya na hindi ka kasama"

"Its okay. Hindi naman pwedeng laging kilig, dapat balance"

"Tama"

"Oy! Baba na tayoooo!" Sigaw ni MT

Natawa kaming dalawa.

"Tekaaa wag ka kasi malikot Ma!" Sagot ko "Sam! Its time"

And as on cue, a fireworks starts to light the sky while a song Mirror by Justin Timberlake sings on the background.

As for others, they taught they are just lucky to have a fireworks show tonight. But not for Rj and Maine this is something romantic as they start kissing under the lights up in the sky.

"Rj alam mo ba? May bucket list of happiness ako"

"Oh? Bakit ka naman may ganun?"

"Wala pang hopeless romantic lang haha basta pero alam mo isa dun ay nagawa mo tonight"

"Alin?"

"To be kissed by someone I truly loved while fireworks lit the sky on the top of the ferris wheel"

"I love you Maine" and he sealed it with a kiss.
