Kiko's POV

"Ano masaya ka na? Masaya kang nakikita akong ganito? Tangina mo! Masaya ka na?" Umiiyak na sigaw ni Julie habang pinaghahampas ang dibdib ko.

Ang bigat ng pakiramdam ko kapag nakikita ko siyang ganitong habag na habag at walang humpay ang luha.

Sinusubukan ko siyang pigilan tulad na dapat kong gawin pero dalang-dala ako sa kanya.

"Magsalita ka! Masaya ka na? Sabi mo... sabi mo hindi mo ako sasaktan!" She cried as her lips tremble and all I wanted was to kiss her tears away.

"I'm sorry" tanging nasabi ko, trying to get a hold of her. Walang habas ang paghikbi niya.

"I trusted you! I trusted you!" sabi niya habang humahagulgol pa rin sa bisig ko.

Hindi ko na rin kinaya ang emosyong nararamdaman ko nang mapaupo siya na tila ba hinang-hina na. Ilang sandali pa ay nakaluhod na kaming pareho, umiiyak sa bisig ng isa't-isa habang patuloy akong humihingi ng tawad sa kanya.

"CUT!!! Good take! That was so good!" Sigaw ni Direk Gina hudyat ng tapos na akong mabigay na eksena naming dalawa ni Julie.

I immediately helped her get up. Today was a hard day for her dahil ang bibigat ng mga eksenang kinuhanan niya kanina.

I fixed her hair and kissed her forehead. Humikbi pa rin siya kaya agad ko siyang niyakap.

"Babe, shhh it's done na... stop crying na baby," Pag-papatahan ko sa kanya but she just held me tighter.

Niyakap ko na lang siya at hinayaang kumalma.

Lumapit sa amin si Ate Marga, ang PA ni Julie, para abutan ang alaga niya ng tubig.

Kinalas ko ang pagkakayakap ni Julie sa akin just so I could held her face and wipe her tears with my hands. Namumula na naman siya dahil sa pag-iyak niya.

"You look like Rudolf, my love," pang-aasar ko sa kanya habang iniaabot ang tubig sa kanya para painumin. Tumawa naman si Ate Marga sa sinabi ko bago abutin muli ang tumbler matapos uminom ni Julie para naman abutan ng tissue ang alaga niya.

Singhot pa rin nang singhot ang baby girl ko at namumula pa rin ang mga mata niya. Matapos nun ay kinuha ni Ate Marga ang gamit niyang tissue para maitapon.

"Thank you, Ate," she whispered bago humilig muli sa akin. She gave me a timid smile bago muling yumakap.

"Sarap naman, babe," I said, chuckling at her while I embrace her, too.

"Pakatamis! Alis na nga ako!" Natatawang sabi ni Ate Marga bago kami tuluyang iwan ni Julie sa gitna ng living room kung saan kinunan ang eksena kanina.

We stood there as I comfort her as if walang ibang tao. Sanay naman na ang prod sa aming dalawa kaya hindi na kami nailang.

I really can't blame Julie for being like this since she's on a turmoil today.

She was resting her cheek against my shoulder as I held her... it was as if we were slow dancing in the middle of our set.

Moments like this gives me the contentment I was longing for before.

She's still sniffling when I saw Direk Gina looking at us. Hihiwalay na sana qko kay Julie when she shook her head at sumenyas na she doesn't mind bago siya bumaling sa staff. Kaya naman minabuti ko nang hawakan muli si Julie at isinayaw-sayaw ko ng bahagya.

She gave me a questioning look but I just gave her a kiss on the forehead and continued swaying

"Why are we dancing?" Natatawang niyang tanong sa akin. Ayan okay na ang iyakin kong baby.

I didn't answer her basta isinayaw ko lang siya kahit walang music.

I know we look so stupid dancing in the middle of our set but naaliw na ako sa kanya since she's giggling at us while we were dancing so I didn't stop.

We were waltzing in the middle of our set habang tengga even if there's no music at kuntento na akong mahihinang tawa niya lang ang naririnig ko.

Maya-maya pa ay nakarinig na kami ng hiyawan kaya napatigil kami.

"No!!! Go on!!" Masayang sigaw sa amin ni Direk while the other staff were cheering us on.

"Wala kaming music, direk!" Natatawang sigaw ko. Si Julie naman ay binaon ang mukha niya sa dibdib ko habang tumatawa.

"Nakakahiya..." sabi niya, looking so fucking cute kasi she's blushing.

I didn't stop swaying us and later on we heard a very familiar song.

"Wow ha," pagrereact ni Julie, giggling still dahil isinasayaw ko pa rin siya.

Mukha namang mas kinilig ang buong team namin dahil nakakarinig kami ng sunod-sunod na pag-"aww"from them as Julie and I continued dancing to the music.

Sinabayan pa ni Julie ang kanga at tuluyan na lang kaming nagpadala sa nangyayari. Kinakantahan niya ako while we were slowdancing and iba ang epekto sa akin noon.

I can't help but to feel kilig every damn time she sings for me...

We stopped dancing when the song ended but stayed holding each other while nagpalakpakan naman ang mga nasa paligid namin.

"Mahal kita," I told her as I look straight into her eyes. Grabe ang ginagawa sa akin ng babaing ito.

I fucking drowned, man. But I don't care. Lunurin niya lang ako sa nararamdaman ko sa kanya ay okay lang talaga. I would give up everything I have for this woman kahit pa buhay ko and I wouldn't even have any second thoughts.

And when she said, "Mahal din kita" to me, lalo akong nalunod. Alam kong kumpleto na ako. Alam kong I've found the kind of love I was praying for.

I will cherish this life because of her.

Direk Gina surprised Julie and I during the preview by including our little show sa film namin. It wasn't really part of the storyline but she made sure that maisheshare niya ang nakita niya sa iba.

"Sayang if the viewers won't see the kind of love you share on and off the screen," sagot ni Direk when Julie asked her right after nalaman namin na she included our candid moment sa post-credit scene ng pelikula.

That was one of the reasons why our film became extra special not only for us but also for our supporters.
