Captured.... A Series of OneShots

As One

"Hala.  Grabe ka sa akin Bossing!  Walang ganyanan!"

"Joke lang!" sabi ni Bossing Vic.  "Pero seriously, narinig mo na ang mga message ng mga malalapit sa'yo. Pati na ng dyowa, este BFF mo.  Ikaw naman, may gusto ka bang sabihin, or may gusto ka bang hilingin para sa kaarawan mo?"

"Sa lahat ng tinatamasa ko ngayon, I don't think I could ask for anything more.  I've been given more than what I hoped for.   But please let me take this opportunity to acknowledge the people who have been instrumental for what Alden Richards have today. I don't think there are enough words to convey how grateful I am for all the love and unending support that Maine and I have been receiving.  Pero, please allow me to at least try." 

"Una po sa lahat, Thank you kay Lord, who has showered not only Maine and I, but the Eat Bulaga cast and crew, APT/Tape Productions, TVJ, JoWaPao and all the Dabarkads, with all these endless blessings.   Kung di po sa Kanya, di naman po namin maeenjoy yong ganitong klaseng success.  At also, sobrang maramig salamat po sa lahat ng fanclubs, Aldubnation, Aldenatics, Mainesters, di ko man kayo lahat ma-mention pero you know who you are, sobrang thank you.  Thank you for accepting, supporting and embracing Aldub, Kalyeserye, and Maine and I.  Basta, alam niyo na yon. Sobrang Thank you."

"Wala ka na bang ibang babangitin Alden? May nakalimutan ka yata."  tukso ni Tito Joey, after allowing for the thunderous applause the audience to die down a bit.

"Syempre di ko nakakalimutan To Jo!"  sagot mo naman. "Sa family ko, thank you for understanding  the nature of my work and the sacrifice, kasi kahit di na tayo halos nagkakasama at nagkikita, nandiyan pa rin kayo. Always being my greatest supporters and for always having my back."

"Dad, sobrang thank you!" sabi mo habang akbay-akbay ang Daddy mo who came to Broadway with your sister Rizza. "Uy, Bubwit! Thank you!"  tukso mo sa bunsong kapatid who stuck her tongue out at you in retaliation.

"Wala ka na bang nakakalimutan Tisoy?  Sure ka?"  ani Tito Sen.

"Wala naman na po!"  pakunwari mong sagot knowing exactly who they mean.

"Di joke lang. Kayo naman, as if naman makakalimutan ko.  To the woman who changed my world, Meng, Thank you!  Thank you for coming into my life again.  Accident though it may be, I will forever be grateful that God paved the way for our paths to cross again 5 years after unknowingly meeting at the Candy fair.   Thank you in advance for staying in my life.   Lam mo na! Sa akin ka lang uy!  Forever tayo uy!"   you seriously declared while looking straight on the main cam.

"Hala!  Grabe siya!  TnT na talaga!"  rinig mong tukso ni Papi Sam  despite the audience going crazy.

"Wala na! Wala na ang manok natin!"  pakikitukso din ni Tito Joey.

"Ay wait, may nakalimutan akong sabihin!"  patuloy mo na binalewala ang mga pantutukso ng mga kasama mo sa stage.

"O, magsitahimik. Tahimik po tayo. May sasabihin pa daw ang birthday boy!"   saad ni Bossing. 

"Meng!  Meng! Uwi ka na soon ha.  Di ako sanay! Uwi ka na please.  Ilang araw pa, baka sunduin ko na kayo diyan. Uwi ka na please!" seryosong dagdag mo.

Eh bakit ba, Sepanx na sepanx eh.

"Sabi mo eh!" anang tinig na nagpatigil sa buong studio.

Everyone turned and tried to look where the voice came from.     Lahat nagtataka.   Everyone knows that Maine is still in Japan enjoying her much deserved Holidays with her whole family.
