Joy felt so empty and lonesome on that Sunday night. It’s been 2days since she last saw Gerald. Although they keep on communicating each other, she missed him already. Gerald said to her that he is just busy and up to something. She understands it because she knows that Gerald is a busy person.
She looked on her window then she starts staring at the stars. She remembered the last night when she was with him. She touches her lips and then she sighed. “Namimiss na kita Babe..” she said then she pouts her lips.
“Mas namimiss ka nun ate Posh for sure!” her cousin teased her.
“Ikaw talaga Piaya! Ang hilig mong manira ng moment..” she said then she went to her bed.
“Hahaha! Eh kasi naman para kang ano dyan! Eh kung tawagan mo kaya para di yang mga stars ang kinakausap mo dyan!” Perly said.
“Eh busy nga daw! Tumatawag naman yun pag hindi sya busy e..” she answered.
“Naku ka ate Pooossshh!!! Baka kasama nya yung si Clarisse! Halaaa..”
“Tseee! Naku noh! May tiwala ako kay Gerald.. Alam ko naman na mahal nya ko, eh kahit nga ikaw ramdam mo diba?” she said.
“Alam ko yun ate Posh, alam kong mahal na mahal ka nya at mapagkakatiwalaan yang si Gorgeous King Eagle! Eh yung impaktang Clarisse mapagkakatiwalaan ba?” her cousin asked.
“Hmm.. Ayoko syang isipin Piaya! Care bear ko sa kanya! Maglaway sya kay Gerald hangga’t gusto nya! Hahaha!” she answered. But deep of inside of her she’s a little bit bothered on what her cousin said.
After awhile they bids goodnight to each other. She then lay down on her bed and took her phone. She’s waiting for his call or maybe she wants to call him. She decided to send him a message but before she press the send button, her phone rings. She smiles and it takes only one ring for her to answer it quickly.
GERALD: “Hi Babe, how’s your day?”
JOY: “Ok naman Babe.. Ikaw?”
GERALD: “Well its a tiring day for me.. I just call to say hi and goodnight Babe..”
JOY: “Ganon?! Sige.. Goodnight..”
GERALD: “Alright.. Goodnight Babe.. I love you..”
Joy did not answer him back. She just ended the call. He knows na nagtatampo na ito sa kanya. Pero kailangan nyang gawin iyon. Kailangan nyang tiisin si Joy para sa surprise na hinanda nya para dito.
“Sorry Babe.. I know you missed me but if you only knew, its a torture for me na hindi ka makita at tiisin ka.. Don’t worry Babe.. It will end tomorrow..” he whispered then he kissed the picture of Joy on his phone.
Joy can’t sleep. Paikot-ikot sya sa kama nya. Hindi nya maintindihan ang sarili kung naiinis ba sya o namimiss nya lang talaga si Gerald. Alam nyang kailangan na nyang matulog dahil may pasok sya sa opisina bukas pero kahit anong gawin nya ay hindi sya dinadapuan ng antok. “Nakaka-asar!! Urghh.. Tatawag para mag-goodnight lang!? Haay nako Heraldo!!!” naiinis na bulong nya. Pinikit na lang nya ang mga mata at pinilit nang matulog.
--------------------
Napabiglang bangon si Joy nang masilip ang oras sa alarm clock nya. “8:30??? Waaaahhhh!!! Nakalimutan ko pa lang iset ang alarm!” sambit nya habang nakatingin sa alarm clock.
Kinuha na lang nya ang cellphone. Inisip nyang itxt na lang si Nhila para sabihin na magha-halfday na lang sya. Pero bago sya magtxt ay bigla nyang naalala si Gerald. Wala man lang itong goodmorning message sa kanya. Nakaramdam sya ng lungkot kaya napahiga na lang sya ulit ng kama pagkatapos ay tinext na nya si Nhila.
