I drafted this yesterday but I got busy finishing a few chapters for "Airplanes and Shooting Stars."
A few new chapters of "Airplanes and Shooting Stars" are published already, so I hope you can read it and let me know your thoughts about it. 2 chapters to be posted next weekend and final 2 chapters will be posted on the Easter weekend, by the way!
Okay, going back to this post: Nothing to say except, Welcome back to Maine's loving arms, este, to the Philippines, Rj!
And dahil dyan, nainspire ako gumawa ng quick story. Not about their reunion kasi madami nang magsusulat about that, but about the picture in the header above.
The story will be set on the day this snap was taken, which means Alden/Rj was still in Dubai then. Again, FICTION po ito! This is what I wish had happened, okay? Sila lang ang nakakaalam ng totoo ;-)
Please do share your comments to twitter user @mjcathy24! If you like the story, kindly "Vote" for this part as well 👍
Happy reading everyone!
Thanks @iAmyDear for the suggestion! AlDub you! _________________________ March 10, Dubai, UAE *FaceTime Call* M: Hi Babe! R: Hi Babe! How was your day? M: Saya! First time to ride in a helicopter, tapos performed sa Ad Summit, ganoin!
Rj smiled at the happiness in his girlfriend's voice. Then, he picked up on the word "helicopter". In a low, gravelly voice, he then said R: Yes, I saw that snap too. Mr. Faulkerson wants to see you now. M: O, kita mo naman ako ah, kaya nga tayo naka-FaceTime, haler!!!
R: Tsk. Basag trip ka talaga palagi, Babe. Nagpapaka-Mr. Grey na nga ako dito eh. *pouts* M: Babe, wag ka na magtampo noh! Hindi ko naman kailangan si Mr. Grey - si Mr. Faulkerson, Jr. ang gusto ko.
R: Sige na nga. Ikaw din naman ang gusto ni Mr. Faulkerson, Jr. e. Lalo na, kapag... M: Kapag? R: Kapag naririnig nya yung giggles mo. Nakaka-"giggle"!
Maine giggles at her boyfriend's corny joke R: Ganyang-ganyan! Saka... M: Saka?
R: Kapag nakikita kong kinakagat mo yung lip mo. M: Like this? *bites lip*
Rj intently stares at Maine as she bit her lip. R: You're being unfair, babe. You know I can't do anything about it while I'm here. M: Kaya ko nga ginagawa - I want you to hurry back home because I miss you so much. I can't wait to hug and kiss you when you get back.
R: I'll be back soon! Kung gusto mo nga, I'll visit you as soon as I arrive. Medyo late nga lang-- M: (cuts him off) I'll make sure to be home when you arrive. Wala akong naka-schedule that evening, so nasa condo lang talaga ako. Pero you have to go home by 3am - para makapahinga ka pa rin before we have KalyeSerye.
R: Hmm, KalyeSerye... With Jhake, tapos Lenten Episode shoot, with Jake naman! M: *rolls eyes* Ay, seloso talaga! Girlfriend mo na nga ako, nagseselos ka pa rin??? *scoffs* Iinisin talaga kita sa Sabado dahil dyan. Hintayin mo lang talaga!
R: Tama na yan (ala Lola Tini)!!! Ito talaga, hindi na mabiro. Hindi na po magseselos, promise? Wag mo na ako tuksuhin, plith??? M: Hmm, pag-iisipan ko pa. Malalaman mo na lang sa KalyeSerye sa Sabado kung anong gagawin ko. *kilay moves*
R: *pabebe tone* Di na kita bati, bibili ako ng ice cream, tapos ako lang kakain! M: *laughs out loud* E di wag! May ice cream ako dito! (sticks out tongue)
Rj suddenly remembered her snap earlier that day R: Uy, speaking of ice cream, hulaan ko kung ano nasa isip mo when you took this snap. M: Alin? R: Eto, send ko sayo. *sent*

M: *puzzled* O, what about that snap? Gusto ko kumain ng ramen, ice cream tapos matulog. Anong meron dyan?
Rj suddenly looked uncertain with Maine's statement R: Sure ka? Akala ko talaga kasi me iba kang naalala. M: Ano yun? Di ko talaga alam.
R: Yung December ba... Yung araw na kumain tayo ng ice cream, tapos ramen. Tapos kunwari natulog ka maghapon the following day para hindi ma-obvious na magkasama tayo.
Maine realizes what he'a referring to M: Ahhh, dun sa paborito mong lugar... R: Oo, yun nga. Hindi ba talaga yun? M: *smiles uneasily* Sorry, babe. Hindi talaga e. Gusto ko lang talaga ng ramen, ice cream and sleep, in that order.
Rj was a bit embarrassed because it seems he was the only one missing their one-day escapade last December. R: Hehe, okay lang yun, babe. Siguro, nami-miss ko lang magbyahe kasama ka. Somewhere out of the country, hindi yung mabilisan na trip lang. Para kahit sa eroplano pa lang, sulit na ang bonding time.
Maine felt a little bit bad as she can see the longing in her bibi's eyes. M: Di bale, babe. I know that will happen - and sa susunod, pag may show ka, kasama na ako. Or kahit personal, basta magkasama tayo together! Sa New York, o sa Amsterdam o sa Tokyo!
R: (teasing) Pwede rin sa Osaka? M: Kahit sa moon pa yan, basta keribells natin puntahan, gorabells tayo!!!
They laughed at their silly discussion. After the laughter subsided, Rj spoke up R: Thanks for making me feel better, babe. M: *scoffs* Sus, maliit na bagay! Kidding aside, alam ko na gusto mo lang naman ako makasama kaya ka nagse-senti mode ngayon. *winks*
Maine then yawned which Rj saw R: O, inaantok ka na. Tulog na. If okay lang sayo, samahan kita hanggang sa makatulog ka. Just put your gadget on your pillow para kunwari magkatabi tayo.
M: Ire-request ko nga sana sa iyo. *yawns again* Antokyo na talaga ako, babe. R: Sige, sleep. Dito lang ako. Dream a sweet dream that you're with me, babe.
M: *smiles sleepily* Will do babe. I'll dream of you, for sure. I love you, babe. R: I love you too.
And as Maine drifted off to sleep, Rj stared at her, wishing that her dream will be sweet, as sweet as his dream of them together in Osaka.
