[ chorus of the song fits the mood. thank you ]

"Where do you want to get married?"

Aj asked while tracing my hand with his thumb. We're sitting on the couch and listening to some songs on Youtube through the TV. It's been a week since the premiere night and block screenings, kaya ngayon, more on rest days na. 

"I don't know. Florida? Philippines? I really don't know." I told him. "Actually, I want to get married here kasi dito tayo nagsimula, our friends are here, family mo nandito. Diba?" I looked at him.

"Yeah, yeah. Pero, ikaw? Kung saan mo gusto." 

"Hindi naman pwedeng laging gusto ko lang diba? How 'bout your wants?" I asked.

"Ikaw, ikaw lang naman gusto ko e." He chuckled.

"Ito kala lagi akong nakikipagbiruan." I rolled my eyes.

"Mukha ba 'kong nakikipagbiruan?" He raised a brow.

"Sabi ko nga, hindi." I laughed a bit.

Both of us stood up and went inside our room to sleep already. I fell asleep at nagising na lang ako bigla nang wala si Aj sa tabi ko. I was about to open the door pero napahinto ako nang marinig ko siyang may kinakausap sa phone. Nasa sala lang siguro siya.

"What contract?" Boses niya. "Wow, ganon na ba sila kakupal para gawin 'yon? Dude, dude, career natin nakasalalay dito at hindi lang ito buhay natin! May buhay din tayo sa labas ng career. Tangina lang." Galit na sabi niya.

"Ako pa hinamon nila huh?" Maangas niyang sabi. "Tingnan natin. Tingnan natin kung sinong mawawalan. Baka hindi nila alam na ang daming kumukuhang management sa banda natin! Tangina. Lagi na lang kupal." Galit niyang sabi. "Will check my email tomorrow. Ganda ganda ng gabi ko sinisira nila." Dagdag niya.

Nang marinig kong papasok na ulit siya, humiga ako ulit at pumikit. Yumakap lang naman siya ulit sa'kin atsaka natulog kaya nakatulog na rin ako ulit. I will just let him open up the topic, ayaw kong mangielam duon. Sana lang i-open niya.

The next day, I woke up earlier than him so I was the one who prepared breakfast for us. While waiting for him to wake up, I had my coffee first while scrolling on my social media accounts. Just to check.

Last time, nagkaruon ng gulo. Lots of people are bashing me when they knew that Aj and I are together at Korea. Kaya ayaw din pabuksan ni Rain dahil sa gulong 'yon. Good thing, after a week, tumahimik na ulit. Puro good news ang nasa feed ko at congratulations from different people. 

"Good m- oh, are you going out this morning?" I looked at him curiously. Nakahanda na siya, aalis na rin siguro 'to ka-agad. Urgent ata.

"Yes, love. Will be back later. Hindi ko alam kung anong oras matatpaos 'yong meeting. Pero, babalik ako." He kissed my temple.
