CHAPTER 9

When Ramcel’s class started, they only see each other during the evenings or during the weekends. Kapag may spare time, sinusundo sya ni Ramcel sa Bistro. Nakasundo naman ni Victoria ang assistant ng nobya na si Arianna, who was really amiable and took care of any Studio 11 related work that Ramcel needed to attend to. Victoria realized she wasn’t a threat.

Hindi lang assistant si Arianna, writer din ito at in-assign ito ni Olivia kay Ramcel to learn more. Minsan nagsusumbong ito sa kanya kapag napapagalitan ni Ramcel sa mga sina-submit nitong script. Her girlfriend was so strict and a perfectionist. Kapag nagsusulat si Ramcel, hindi ito inaabala ni Vi.

Kahit weekend, minsan marami pa ring ginagawa si Ramcel. She just made sure Ramcel would eat on time. Kapag nagsusulat ito, Victoria knew Ramcel’s mind was in a different world. Sometimes she would see her staring at the flower vase intently but not really looking at it. Vi knew her mind was seeing something else. She knew Ramcel was forming beautiful stories and probably arguing with its characters in her mind.

“Come back to me, Baby.” Victoria would gently whisper in Ramcel’s ear then embrace her to pull her back from that unseen world. “I prepared something for you.”

“Hmmmmm, kingky

“Hmmmmm, kingky.” Ramcel smiled naughtily when Victoria blindfolded her.

“Green minded,” natatawang sabi ni Victoria habang inaalalayan si Ramcel papunta sa kitchen ng apartment nito. Pinaupo nya ito saka tinanggal ang piring sa mga mata nito. “Surprised! Happy 3rd monthsary!”

Ramcel looked delighted when she saw the delicious meal before her but her eyes were full of admiration when she saw Victoria in her black silk short dress. Tumayo ito at hinagkan si Victoria sa labi. “Happy monthsary.” Ramcel hugged her tight. “I am underdressed.”

Victoria laughed. Nakasuot lang kasi ito ng manipis na white t-shirt at shorts. “Your beauty is enough.” She kissed Ramcel’s nose then her lips. “Let’s eat.”

Buti na lang oblivious sa paligid si Ramcel kapag nagsusulat ito kaya kahit nasa iisang lugar sila, nagawang makapaghanda ni Victoria nang hindi nito napapansin. Victoria prepared Beef Wellington for dinner.

“You can have it with either Rice pilaf or roasted garlic potatoes. What do you prefer?” She asked Ramcel.

“I’ll try both. But before we start, we need something to complete this splendid meal.” Napatingin si Victoria rito nang tumayo ito saka lumabas ng apartment. Ilang minuto ang lumipas, bumalik ito dala-dala ang bote ng Dom Perignon. “Akala mo siguro nakalimutan kong monthsary natin. I don’t want you to see this so I asked Martha to chill it for me.” Ang matandang dalagang kapit-bahay nito ang tinutukoy.

Victoria smiled. They savored and finished everything after opening the champagne.

“This is for you.” Inabot sa kanya ni Ramcel ang isang maliit na paperbag.
