"Althea's Residence"
- doorbell rings -
Coming !
Sabi ni Althea ng dali dali itong pumunta sa pinto niya at binuksan ito
Goodmorning ! *smiles*
Masiglang bati ni Lucas habang may dala dalang dalawang coffee
Oh? Bat bumili ka pa nyan? Nagtimpla nalang sana tayo
Hehe actually kakauwi ko lang dito na ako dumiretcho haha
San ka naman galing?
Bachelors party hehe ikakasal na kasi yung barkada ko kaya ayun, eh hindi pa ako inaantok kaya ako nandito
Eh pano ka kasi aantukin? Hahaha may kape ka pa
Hehehe okay na yan Althea papasok na ako.. haha
Ay oo nga ! Haha sorry
At pinapasok na nga ni Althea si Lucas
So... kumusta yung dinner date niyo? Hihihi
Dinner date ka dyan..?
O bakit? Si Jade?.. yung surprise niya sayo nung nakaraang gabi.. *confused*
It.. didn't went well.. *looks down*
Huh?! bakit??? Sobrang preparation pa naman yung ginawa ni Jade dun..
Pinauwi ko siya.. and isa pa !! Ikaw din eh noh? Sinet up mo ko ! May pa house party house party ka pang nalalaman dyan !
Eh syempre kailangan kong imake sure na hindi ka kakain ng dinner hmm.. bakit mo naman siya pinauwi?
Hindi ko pa kasi talaga siya kayang makita nung time na yun Lucas.. I mean.. iba kasi eh.. she betrayed me.. and I can't even look straight to her eyes... ayoko namang pilitin yung sarili ko kasi baka mas masaktan ko lang din siya..
I see.. pero mahal mo pa ba siya? *curious*
*weak smile* ano sa tingin mo?
Well.. *acting dumb* I don't know, hindi ko kasi makita eh.. hindi mo na ba mahal?
Hm! anung hindi ka dyan?! Baliw na to ! Mahal na mahal ko si Jade noh ! Kahapon nga sa fan meeting namin gustung gusto ko siyang bakuran eh *sighs* tapos kapag may lalapit sa kaniya para akong na susuffocate
*smirks* eh yun naman pala Althea bakit pinipigilan mo pa yang sarili mo? Mukha namang nagsisisi na si Jade eh.. I mean.. *moments of silence* sa totoo lang nung una ko ding nalaman yung about sa bagay na yun.. aaminin ko medyo nainis din ako kay Jade.. well kasi syempre unang una sa lahat mas boto ako sayo second.. I really like.. you know who.. and third nainggit talaga ako.. pero nung nagkausap kami?.. *chuckles* I felt how sorry she was.. and how much she's regretting what happened.. and naramdaman ko din kung gaano niya kagustong bumawi.. kaya sana Althea.. kahit konti lang mapagbigyan mo siya.. ikaw din !
Anung ako din? *curious*
Sige nga ! Give me an honest and straight question ah.. kapag ba may nanligaw kay Jade okay lang sayo?
*frowns* syempre hindi !
Gusto mo bang lumayo nalang siya sayo?
Hindi rin...
Gusto mo bang kay Thea nalang siya?
*furious* Lucas?! SERYOSO KA BA?!!
oh.. easy ka lang nagtatanung lang ako.. just checking kung mahal mo pa ba si Jade kasi.. ano eh yung isa ko kasing barkada gusto niya iset up ko siya kay Jade..
*eyes widen* *furious* wag na wag mong gagawin yan Lucas !! Magagalit talaga ako sayo !!!!
*chuckles* eh kung ganun naman pala !!! Magisip isip ka ng mabuti dyan !! Wag mo ng patagalin pa Althea.. mahal mo siya, mahal ka niya, mahal niyo ang isa't isa at higit sa lahat nagsosorry na siya Althea..
*sad* *sighs* sana ganun lang kadali Lucas... I mean siguro sayo madali pero kasi.. ako yung niloko.. *clears throat* yung akala mong mahal na mahal ka niya.. tapos malalaman mo ganun ang sakit at ang hirap sobra... *tears starts to fill* alam mo ba?.. minsan nga iniisip ko sana nagsinungaling nalang si Jade para hindi ko na nalaman.. edi sana hindi kami o ako ganito ngayon.. minsan din pinagsisisihan kong naging matanung at mausisa ako.. edi sana walang ganito ngayon.. sana kasama ko siya ngayon.. *depressed*
Hmm.. I'm sorry Althea.. I didn't realize how heavy this is.. pero if ako ang tatanungin mo.. tama lang na naging honest sayo si Jade.. kasi mas masakit kung malaman mo na alam niya but she keeps on denying it.. and also mas masakit kung malaman mo yung totoo sa ibang tao... kaya kudos for Jade's honesty.. and *puts arms on Althea's shoulders* sige na payag na ako.. take all your time para maka move on sa pain na yan.. and then whatever your decision is susupportahan ko pa rin kayo bilang mga kaibigan ko pero ipangako niyo lang na you'll try to be friends at least...
*leans on Lucas* thank you Lucas.. kung alam mo lang.. gustung gusto ko ng patawarin si Jade.. pero bago yun.. kailangan matutunan ko muna siyang pagkatiwalaan ulit... and ayoko namang ma exempt siya para patunayan na worthy siya just because I love her diba?.. syempre kailangan niyang magain yun.. and I need to see.. kung anung kaya niyang gawin just to prove to me na worthy siya para pagkatiwalaan ko ulit...
*smirk* tama ka.. as much as I wanted na magkaayos na kayo.. you still have a point.. and yeah.. she should show you she's worth it..
- doorbell rings -
Oh? May ineexpect ka? *curious*
Uhm.. wala.. *curious* *stands up*
At pumunta si Althea sa pintuan at binuksan ito
Yes?
Good morning ! Delivery for Miss Althea?
Sabi ng delivery boy
Oh.. thank you.. *receives the package*
Maya maya pa ay isinara na ni Althea ang pintuan at ipinatong sa table ang package
Fragile daw.. baka may babasagin sa loob
Sabi ni Lucas, at binuksan ni Althea ang package at pagkabukas nito ay bumungad ang isang 3 piece bouquet of sunflowers and a note

"Meeting Room"
Good Morning everyone ! My name is Hanes Turner and I am a newbie when it comes to directing and I am so honored to have been given a chance to show my craft, I hope you all give me a chance and help me turn this movie into a success. The movie is called love, hate. Basically it is about romance and falling in love with the least person you expected to fall for, and so on you get it, anyway I hope I chose the right team, and it would be a great pleasure working with you all *smiles* let's all work hard together! Thank you again
At nag palakpakan ang lahat pagkatapos mag introduction ng direktor
Tamami foreigner pala siya? *whispers*
Bulong ni Jade
Oo nak, hindi ko pala nabanggit sayo *whispers*
Pabulong na sagot naman ng handler ni Jade
Hmm.. so kung ako yung lead character.. for sure may isa pa?
Maya maya pa ay may nagsalita ulit
Hello everyone *smiles* my name is Zack Turner I am looking forward to working with you all, let's do our best ! *smiles* *glances at Jade*
Turner din tamami? *confused* *whispers*
Oo anak niya yan, hindi halata noh? Para kasing ang bata pa tignan ng papa niya *whispers*
Oo nga eh.. pero parang nahihiya naman ako.. *shy* *whispers*
Anak ano ka ba kayang kaya mo yan ! *whispers*
Matapos magpakilala ng iba pang cast ay nagsalo salo naman sila sa isang maliit na kainan
Hi Jade *smiles*
*startles* oh! H..hey *smiles*
Oops! *chuckles* hindi ko sinasadyang gulatin ka
*suprised* nagtatagalog ka?
Yes, I've been a citizen for 15 years it's only fair that I learn tagalog right?
Ohh.. I see.. right ! Hehe
Uhm.. is it okay if we become friends?
Uh.. yeah sure ! Wala namang problema dun
Great ! Uhm.. so did you read the script?
Well I.. not yet actually hehe
Lol you should check it out, it's really interesting ! Not your normal romance-falling in love thing haha
Lol you sound like you're really not into cliché or mainstream romance huh?
Well.. yeah kind of but who knows ! I might fall in love with someone *glances at Jade*
Well then.. goodluck on that
Why thank you

"Althea's Residence"
Habang nanunuod si Althea ng T.V ay hindi niya namalayang naka tulog na pala si Lucas sa kabilang sofa

Okay we'll be friends
Well I guess that's not a bad thing
Oops! English yun

"Althea's Residence"
- doorbell rings -
Coming
At nagpunta si Althea sa pintuan niya para buksan ito
For Miss Althea po?
Sabi ng delivery boy
*receives the package* thank you
At ipinatong ni Althea ang package sa coffee table at binuksan ito, pagbukas nito ay bumungad sakaniya ang isang bouquet ng pulang rosas na may singsing sa taas nito
*surprised* bulaklak nanaman? *notices the ring* singsing? *confused* *notices the card*
Hi love I know this is not the right way or time to do this but... I realized something.. and that's how I badly wanted to be with you.. after all we've been thru, yes I know I messed up.. but please let me make it up to you will you please marry me? I Promise babawi talaga ako just give me another chance please, meet me up at the Terraces Cafe @ 8pm tonight. I'll be there waiting... I just can't stand this distance between us anymore... I love you so much..
Oh my god ! *shocked* *shouts* nagpropose si Jade?!! *heart pounding* *excited* *worried*
Nagulat si Lucas sa pagsigaw ni Althea kaya nagising ito bigla
Bakit?! Anung nangyari? May sunog ba?! *frantic*
Sabay batok ni Althea kay Lucas
*pained* aray ! Bakit?
So ganun? Pag ako may sunog agad?! *ticked off*
Uh.. hehe hindi naman sa ganun.. ikaw naman Althea oh..
(The Joke was because Althea can't really cook, like most of the time it ends up getting burnt)
Hmp !
Huuy.. eto naman syempre nagulat ako bigla ka ba naman kasing sumigaw dyan ! Oh?! Those are involuntary words
Involuntary words! Pinagsasabi mo !
Ehh anyway.. bakit ka ba kasi sumigaw?
Uhm.. eto kasi.. biglang nagpropose si Jade.. I mean.. seryoso ba yun?? Babae kami pareho
Eh ano naman?! Ano ka ba Althea iba na ang mundo ngayon, being in the same gender relationship are more accepted by the society nowadays compared to years back, I mean.. hindi pa man legal sa pinas ang same-sex marriages it is still being legalized sa ibang bansa, go travel and get wed there ! Tapos ako yun best man niyo oha ! hitting two birds with one stone ahaha !
Baliw! Kahit na paano yung careers namin? Lalo na si Jade kakabalik niya lang from break diba? *concerned*
Look being married naman doesn't mean na kailangan niyo na din agad iannounce sa buong mundo.. look you can get wed secretly kahit ako nalang witness niyo o diba? And then when everything's stable pakasal kayo ulit and that time lahat na ng taong mahalaga at mahal niyo nandun to witness that once in a lifetime moment ng dalawang taong mahal din nila
*chuckles* seems like a fairytale Lucas
No it's not ! Well can be though for you and Jade *winks* with happy ending right?
Hmm.. ewan.. *sighs* ano ba dapat kong gawin Lucas? *worried*
Hmm.. just listen to this *points at Althea's heart* alam mo minsan hindi lang basta utak ang ginagamit.. although hindi ko din naman sinasabing puso lang ang gagamitin mo.. use your heart but take your brain with you.. tingin mo? Ano bang pwedeng mangyari kung let's say tanggapin mo yang proposal sayo ni Jade? Will that make you happy? If you're thinking naman about your careers.. well ang dami naman ng artistang nag settle down and yet they still managed to make a comeback sa acting or sa show business itself.. it's just based on how you handle things.. how to balance life and career well basically family and career although alam mo ? nakikita ko naman sainyo ni Jade na it will be easy kasi pareho naman na kayong nasa career na yan, meaning same paths so mas magkakaintindihan pa kayo.. idagdag mo pa na pareho kayong babae which would be easier para maintindihan ang napaka complicated niyong pagiisip hehe no offense pero kasi minsan hirap na hirap ako sainyong mga babae hahahaha you just keep on sending blank signals like hello ! Hindi naman kami expert to know what you girls are thinking hahaha get it? But anyway yun na mga Althea.. you can actually choose both.. get wed secretly and be happy while doing your crafts in acting or anything you'd like.. I mean.. kahit naman anung gawin natin mahuhusgahan at mahuhusgahan tayo so why don't we choose the one that will make us happy in the end diba?
Hmm... easier said than done.. pero bahala na, I'll meet with her and we'll see.. *smirks* baka soon magka wedding bells na nga.. I'll try to think about your proposed plans Lucas haha thank you best man ka talaga !
Naman ! And wag mo na pagisipan pa ! Go agad !! Hahahahaha
Masiglang sabi ni Lucas
