Along came Dr. LUV

My girl

Luv's POV:

I feel like I'm still in Lalaland. I still can't believe that this day would end with her finally becoming my girlfriend. We agreed na ihahatid ko siya sa taping niya tomorrow and susunduin ko rin siya after to have dinner with my family- I can't wait for them to meet her. I'm sure my family would have a positive effect on Dani. Napagkasunduan rin namin na hindi muna I public yung samin until makausap niya yung management niya- Well I fell in love with an actress, I should be prepared for these things, knowing that she's mine makes it a little easier.

I took my phone and sent her a message.

*Are you sleeping?*

*MyLove: Not yet, I'm actually out*

*Out?? Where? You went out?*

*MyLove: Relax, I'm not out clubbing, I'm just getting fresh air, dito sa rooftop*

Medyo kinabahan ako- akala ko ay lumabas pa siya.

*Something wrong?*

*MyLove: No, just getting fresh air*

I didn't reply, I decided to go up and find her instead.

Pagbaba ko palang ng elevator nakita ko na siya kaagad na nakatayo sa may railing- medyo malakas yung hangin, so good decision to bring a jacket for her-

Luv: "Hi-"

I placed the jacket over her shoulders, she looked up and smiled.

Luv: "What's on your mind?"

Dani:"Hmmm, marami-"

Luv: "Worries?"

Dani: "Maybe- I don't know what they are- worries, fears o excitement. Halo halo yung nararamdaman ko ngayon. Na e-excite ako sa kung saan tayo dadalin nitong nararamdaman natin, I'm excited to feel excited- I don't know if it makes sense but- all my life, sarado lang ako e- dun lang ako sa laging safe, dun lang ako sa mga bagay na hindi ko na kailangan pag isipan- but now, I'm slowly acknowledging these emotions  na never kong pinayagan ang sarili kong maramdaman noon. And at the same time- nag fre-freak out ako kasi- hindi ko alam paano aayusin ito kung magkakamali ako- I don't know if I have what it takes to be someone's girlfriend, given the nature of my work. Meeting your family tomorrow excites me, in fact it excites me way too much that it scares me- kasi ito yung buhay ko, and now that the truth is out- mas gugulo pa nga, kasi I'm sure once na magsalita ako gagawin lahat ng tatay ko yung kaya niya para pigilan ako- ayokong magdala ng kahit anong pangit sa family mo-"

Luv: "My love, listen- you can never bring anything bad or ugly to my family. They are not shallow people, when you're ready, I could tell them the truth- but until then, my family won't judge you for something that they only hear or see on TV, they might ask me questions, because they'll be worried, but they will never judge you. That I can promise you because I know them. And you? They will love you, I fell in love with you, without you even trying- anything. You just have to be you. You have nothing to worry about. And this fight against that man? I will be with you, we will get him. They have to pay for what they did, they really do."

Dani: "Marumi at magulong laban yun-"

Luv: "So what, I don't care, we'll fight dirty if that's what it takes. They will pay for what they did."

I took her in my arms. And she just wrapped hers on me too.

Dani's POV:

Luv: "Dani, do you trust me?"

Bumitiw ako sa pagkakayakap sakanya para matignan ko siya sa kanyang mga mata. Napuno muli ng luha ang mga mata ko-

Dani: "As much as I'm afraid to admit- but yes, I do. You don't know how much you've changed me for the short amount of time na magkakilala tayo. Nakakatakot, but for the most part, sobrang gaang, hindi mo alam kung papaano mo ako unti unting binubuhay ulit. You know what I realized, na kaya, okay na okay akong stagnant lang, yung ginagawa lang yung nakasanayan, yung tuloy tuloy lang, pigil lahat ng emosyon, nandirito lang lahat- sa loob ko, kasi hindi pala ako buhay. I'm functioning, I'm moving, I'm breathing but I wasn't really living. Nakakapagod, yung lagi ka lang nakabitin, dito ka lang, hindi gumagalaw, kasi yun yung nakasanayan mo, kapag gumalaw ka ng konti baka mahulog ka, tapos hindi mo na alam yung gagawin mo. Pero nung dumating ka, kahit ayokong gumalaw nilundagan mo yung lubid kung saan ako nakatapak, tapos nahulog ako, bumabalik ako ng bumabalik sa kinatatayuan ko pero paulit ulit akong nalalaglag, but for all those times, you were there to catch me. Akala ko, the 8 year old Dani defines me, paulit ulit akong bumabalik dun e- pero ngayon hindi na ako mag isang babalik dun- and for all those reasons, kaya alam kong hindi ako nagkamaling hayaan yung puso kong mahalin ka. Masaktan man ako, okay lang, kasi binuhay mo naman ulit ako-"
