"What's for breakfast, love?"
"Uy, good morning, RJ!"
"Bakit nauuna ka ng magising sa akin ngayon? Tapos iniiwan mo ako..."
"Payb lang RJ? I am enjoying this, love. Honestly, this has always been a dream RJ, to marry and soon start a family. Kung may maganda mang naidulot sa akin ang ECQ na to? Ito yong feel na feel kong maging asawa—asawa mo. Ang sarap pala sa pakiramdam."
"Naks, wala na, love, buo na agad ang araw ko. Preno naman Maine, kinikilig din ako..."
"Hahaha...I cooked tapsilog and I cook pancakes too, maupo ka na, malapit na to..."
"Where's my good morning kiss, Misis?"
"Ito naman—"
"..."
"..."
"Hmmm...good morning gorgeous wife...I love you."
"Love you more, upo ka na, kakain na..."
"Sarap naman nito."
"Coffee?"
"Yes, please..."
"..."
"..."
"Here..."
"Kumain ka din ng maayos, love, bawal na ang walang breakfast sa'yo ngayon, ayaw mo naman mag workout kasama ko, so at least kumain ka ng maayos, ayokong nagkakasakit ka."
"Ikaw kaya ang sakitin sa atin, RJ."
"Hindi na ah, saka andyan ka naman na, aalagaan mo naman ako di ba?"
"Syempre naman, I made a vow to take care of you..."
"Dahil lang sa vow mo?"
"Hmmm, you made a vow because you love the person, okay na?"
"Better..."
"Ikaw love, nagiging demanding ka sa I-Love-You..."
"Hindi dapat nakakalimotang sabihin yon love..."
"Alam ko naman..."
"Let's make a habit to say it every day of our lives Maine..."
"Only if you mean it RJ."
"I will always mean it Maine...I don't want to get the day pass by without assuring you both words and actions na mahal kita."
"Naks, sweet mo... asawa mo na po ako..."
"Exactly, so, all the more na dapat pinaparamdam."
"Will we ever stay this way a decade from now?"
"Bakit hindi? We shape our future, love, and what we do now will affect who and what we are in the future..."
"Ang hot mo..."
"Wait, love, kumakain tayo, wag mo akong sabihan ng ganyan baka makapag dessert ako sa umaga."
"Hahahahaha your wisdom is sexy RJ, and I would say whatever I want, wherever we are...because I can."
"Gusto mo balik tayo sa kwarto? After kumain? I can show you how hot I am..."
"Hahahaha harot pa more RJ, I wonder if our fans knows kung gaano ka kaharot? Well, I guess they have an idea already na maharot ka talaga but as to what extent? Hahahaha magugulat ang mga fans love."
"Exclusive harot lang din naman yon—para lang sa'yo."
"Ba! Dapat lang ah!"
"Hahahaha ikaw nag umpisa tapos ikaw mapipikon? Kumain ka ng maayos Maine. What will we do today?"
"May nilista na ako for groceries, love, pa arrange nalang sa baba ha, ikaw na tumawag, tapos check mo din baka may ipapabili ka pa, idagdag mo nalang sa listahan, at maglalaba ako today...wala ka bang meeting?"
"Actully meron mamaya 1pm, sa AC..."
"What's that all about?"
"The contract, andon din si Sam, I will formally turned down the offer, na send ko na din yong contract with PPL. "
"You will really start a new one, RJ and I am so proud and excited of what you can still offer to your fans."
"Excited din ako, love. It feels like a rebirth, you know. New environment, new perspective and of course a new us—together."
"Are you happy?"
"I am, no need to ask, I am so happy."
"Thank you for making me happy too."

"Ito lang ba lalabhan natin?"
"Yes..."
"Ayaw mo pa ring mag laundry machine?"
"Nope...kunti lang naman to, saka di masyadong madumi, pwede mo namang di ako tulongan tans, you can do your workout or, mobile legends?"
"Hahahaha, pwede akong mag moba?"
"Yes, go..."
"Of course I will not leave you here doing the laundry, sabayan na kita para matapos na tayo..."
"Okay..."
"Excited na akong mag bake bukas tans, sana lang magustohan nila, kinakabahan ako..."
"Ba't naman? Huwag mo nga e pressure yang sarili mo..."
"Syempre kung sino man bibigyan natin, their opinion will matter to me...ayoko maging paella level yong lulutoin ko... hahahaha"
"Speaking of paella, do you want me to show you how to cook it one of these days?"
"I'd love that! Sige ba! Complete ba ingredients natin?"
"Syempre may ibang di nasali sa listahan kanina, but sa next groceries pwede natin isali na."
"Teka na message mo na ba si Miss Jen? About sa reveal?"
"Oo nong araw ding yon.. na message ko na okay na tayo, she said she'll inform us anytime..."
"Okay... nakakakaba at nakaka excite... I don't know how this will go, it could be good or bad, and could affect your career, nevermind yong akin, am pretty much done with showbiz, tans, I mean I have EB, the rest I can always let go."
"Career or opinion of people it won't matter, Maine...tapos na tayo don, bagong yugto na to ng buhay natin, and the fans who loves us truly will support us but that shouldn't be the issue now...kaya wag kang kabahan."
"I still have a lot to learn sa pagiging pessimists ko, tans..."
"Well, you have me, you can always talk to me if you have thoughts that you aren't sure or doubts in your head..."
"I am planning to go back on vlogging love, I felt like mas mare-release ko mga creative juices doon. I have to update my blog too, I need someone to overhaul that."
"May kilala ako, I'll ask him, para mag usap kayo anong plan mo sa blog at sa youtube channel mo."
"Sure..."
"Samahan mo akong mag workout after nito, love."
"Sure sasamahan kita literal na nakaupo while you do your routines, I'll check the donation drive."
"Ayaw mo mag workout talaga?"
"Hindi ko pa feel talaga, love."
"Okay, di kita pipilitin diyan. Tapos na to, love?"
"Yes.."
"Magbabanlaw na ako..."
"Yeah..."

Author's Note: Ayan, kung naalala niyo sa Chapter 47 or 48 ata yon, nag Q&A si Samantha de leon kay ficMaine and uploaded it sa Youtube. So, I guess it's about time na may version ng Q&A si ficRJ. Let's have that sa next next chapter. 😊
