LOWKEY
I am now chilling here in my room after a boring day here in the quarantine facility. We are now nearing to the end of our quarantine as they swabbed us two times already and hopefully the second one is negative as well. As I was scrolling on Instagram someone messaged me on viber so I immediately look at it.
VIBER
"Hi Deans! Busy ka ba? Gusto mo ba sumali sa IG live? Kasama natin si Ate Din at si Carly."
So it's Gel pala and she's asking me if I can join them.
"G naman but can I join late than the scheduled time? I have business meeting e.".
"Oo naman sige basta invite ka na lang namin mamaya ha?"
"Okay okay talk to you later"
As I finished talking to Gel I proceeded to the meeting that I have. After the meeting I informed her na I'm ready to join them.
"G na ako, you can invite me na". After I sent that agad lumitaw yung invite sa IG live then I joined.
(The video attached above is my reference for this story. To fully understand the flow of the story you can watch it first.)
Now that we are done with the IG live, I can now rest.
VIBER
*ring* *ring* *ring*
Why isn't she picking up?
ANSWERED
"Hi?" As I said that I already smiled seeing her picking up the phone even though she's doing her skin care routine already.
"Teka lang hugas lang ako ng mukha ha? Mapupunta to sa mata ko e" she said as she finished rubbing her face and reaching for the water.
"Okay take your time I'll wait" still not removing the smile that I have on my face. She's know walking back to her room while drying her face.
"Tapos na"
"You look good always ha"
"Hala sya ang panget ko kaya pero thank you hehe" "Kamusta naman araw mo dyan sa hotel?"
"Well, nothing much, business meeting all day, workout and kain lang" "Ikaw ba? How's life there in Laguna?"
"Ayun almost same lang din naman nung sayo without the business meeting" "Hindi kaya tayo nahalata kanina?"
"What do you mean? We talk like we haven't had any conversation"
"I mean alam mo naman mga tao konting move lang may meaning na agad sa kanila"
Carly's POV
Habang nag vi-video call kami ngayon ni Deanna humiga na ako sa kama.
"Carly...." Pag sabi pa lang nya ng pangalan ko kinabahan na ako dahil siguro ang lalim ng pagkasabi at hindi nya agad sinundan ng kung ano man ang gusto nya sabihin.
"Carly.... You may be sometime hesitant to date me because of all the people who have a lot to say about us right?"
Tumango naman ako kase alam ko kung ano yung pinapasok ko, Deanna Wong? Laging talk of the town kaya naman minsan ay tinatablan din ako ng takot sa kung ano ang pwede nilang masabi.
"Well, if we will be living afraid of what people will say then we might as well just be a prison in our room right? Don't be afraid of what they would say, kahit gaano pa yan ka harsh, I know you e and still every day you give me a chance to know you. I am already thankful for that and as we learn each other none of the outside comments matter to me. Hindi ka naman nila kilala e but I do so fuck them" natawa naman siya sa sinabi nya. Natawa din ako.
"Thank you for the assurance, D" I smiled to her.
"I'll never get tired of assuring you that you're more than enough for me and just be there you'll be protected by batman"
Nakakatuwa naman ng puso na ganon yung pag assure nya saakin.
"Are you gonna sleep na ba or later pa?"
"Later pa siguro, mag hilamos kana D hindi pa kita nag hilamos ng mukha mo"
"Oo nga pala, buti na lang pinaalala mo"
Ngayon tumayo na sya sa pagkakaupo nya at nag punta papunta sa cr at pinatong ang cellphone nya kung saan man doon pero kita ko sya na nag hihilamos ng kanyang mukha.
"So today guys I'm gonna review this Cetaphil gentle skin cleanser"
Natawa naman ako sa ginawa nya kase para syang youtuber na nag rereview tapos ako yung camera nya. Linapit pa nya sa camera at finocus kala mo talaga hahaha.
"So as you can see wala na sya gaano use sa mukha ko kase my face is clean already"
Habang sinasabi nya yon e tawa-tawa pa siya.
"Hangin naman dito jsko po" sabi ko sakanya ng natatawa din
"Sorry na eto lang ako e" sabi nya habang naka pout pa jsko tong babaeng to hindi na pinakalma yung puso ko. At natapos na sya mag hilamos kaya nahiga na siya.
Deanna's POV
Pagka higa ko tumitig lang ako sakanya habang may ginagawa sya. How can someone be this pretty? And how did I manage to be the first in the line after her long relationship? This girl is indeed a blessing for me. I always want to thank destiny for letting me be roommates with Gel, she's the real one here if it wasn't because of her? Hindi ko nakilala si Carly. I stared too much and now tinignan na nya ako, those eyes of hers? Damn. I may did some God work from my past life to see this right infront of my eyes.
"What are you doing?"
"Wala naman, sa management namin may pinapa-ayos lang" she smiled as she said that.
"Okay, so your done na ba?"
"Oo tinapos ko lang yun"
"I have a question sana if you wouldn't mind"
"Sige ano ba yon"
"Ano kase, diba napag usapan natin yung kanina na baka mahalata ng mga tao?" she then gestured na ituloy ko kung ano yung gusto ko sabihin.
"I know naman na you want your relationship as private right? So I just thought, what if the time comes where you need to say it na? What will you do?"
"Alam ko kung ano yung gusto mo sabihin haha pinatagal mo pa. Kung itatanong nila sakin kung jowa ba kita ngayon sasabihin ko hindi pa (napangiti ako pagka rinig ko nun because she used the word "pa") pero kapag tayo na hindi naman kita ide-deny no, and through this journey naman natin nakikilala kita and almost all your wants in life. Kung yung sa fam mo naman alam ko na sooner or later I have to meet them and syempre pine-prepare ko sarili ko para doon kaya wag ka mag alala alam ko yung tanong mo nayan. Kaya sana nasagot ko yung indirect question mo"
I sighed and smiled afterwards I am indeed lucky with this girl. I owe Gel a big one because of this.
"You know me well na ha? But yeah thank you for that, I really appreciate you and your assurance"
"Tulog na tayo?" tanong ko sakanya, tumango naman sya.
"Goodnight, D"
"Goodnight, Carly, I hope you dream about me and smile right after you woke up because of the dream hahaha"
"Sira talaga to pero sige o wag ka ngumiti wag ka malito hahaha"
"But yeah, goodnight, Carly, I'll see you soon".
After I hanged up, I texted her.
"The feeling is growing I hope for you too. No pressure at all. We'll wait for each other. Goodnight Carly."
