M: *shakes her head* Do you ever wish you could just... drive? Leave everything behind? I know we do not have the luxury of that choice, but... It would be nice. You know, just to drive off.
R: Love, I'm not promising anything. I know how you hate it when I make promises I can't keep, but I will try my best for us to go on road trips more often. Gagawan natin ng paraan yan.
M:'*stared at him for a moment* Saan naman tayo pupunta?
R: Kahit saan. Anlaki ng Pilipinas Mahal, marami pa tayong di napupuntahan. We haven't even drove to Manaoag yet. Tagal na natin plano yun but we haven't done it. If we can't drive then we go by airplane. Pero road trip pa din ba tawag dun? Or plane trip na? *frowns*
M: *laughs* Cute mo! *pinches R's cheeks* Basta trip, yun din yun!
R: *laughed, stepping a bit more firmly on the gas pedal as they continue to traverse along the expressway*
M: *leaned forward to shuffle her spotify, settling on her all time favorite band Coldplay. Leaning back in her seat, she stretched her legs out in front of her and got comfortable* You really should have let me drive.. *she muttered as R yawned loudly* You can sleep in the back.
R: *giving her a side look before letting his eyes drift back to the road in front of them* You're not driving this car, *he grumbled* I told you many times no other woman will ride with me in this Jaguar except for you but you are not driving this. No pwede.
M: *rolling her eyes* It was one time! One single time! I was not used to the engine! Wala namang nangyari, ni di nga nagasgas! Are you gonna hold that against me for the rest of our lives?!
R: Ma.. walang nagasgas kasi nahawakan ko kagad yung hand brake! Kung di ko nagawa yun naka yakap na to sa puno dun sa tabi ng bahay namin! I told you to ease the engine gently, powerful tong motor nito. This is a Jaguar. Anong ginawa mo? As soon as you started the car pumedal ka kagad!
M: What do I know about car engines? All I know is to drive them. And I have driven a Porsche and a Ferrari since! Pero until now you won't let me touch your Jaguar!
R: You can touch Junjun all you want anytime, anywhere but not this Jaguar.
M: Bastos! *hits R at the arm*
R: Aray naman Ma.. nagmamaneho ako o.. Di ka na mabiro.
M: Ewan ko sayo!
R: *chuckles, grabbing M's hand and kissing it* Take a nap Ma, we'll be there in about 30 minutes.
M: *not bothering to argue further, just leaned her head on R's shoulders as the song "Yellow" played along*
The town where they're going was small and there wasn't even a McDonald's or Starbucks to be found in it. It's a wellness farm, luxurious and private. One thing they love about it is that it has individual villas which they can go straight through. No need to pass by the main hotel. Once they enter the premises, the staff will be alerted that they have arrived and will lead them directly to their private villa, away from prying eyes.
M: Do you ever think about New York? *as she smoothes out the already wrinkled-free flat sheets on the bed in their villa*
R: *It made him pause, his hand hovering on the handle as he closes the door to their room before turning and smiling at M* All the time.. *approaches M taking her hand* May I have this dance Mrs. Faulkerson?
M: *giggling and standing up* Why yes you certainly may, Mr. Faulkerson..
They danced to the music that only the two of them can hear, the music that played only in their hearts and minds. Reminiscing that wonderful night they spent together in New York.
It started with a Road Trip (Part 1)
