THE ONE WHO WON MY HEART (A short Kimerald fan fiction)

“Good morning Kuyaaa!”

Kim greeted her driver cheerfully as she gaily stepped into the waiting van. She settled into her seat and turned to her personal assistant who was just a few steps behind her.“Ate Tata, bilisan nyo na, mali-late na tayo,” Kim called out to her.

The driver chuckled from the front seat and replied, “Good morning din Kim. Mukhang ang saya saya mo yata ngayon ah! Ano bang meron?”

“Kasi…excited yan. Sa sobrang excitement nya, ayan maagang gumising at maagangnatapos. Yung call time nya sa isa’t kalahating oras pa at thirty minutes lang ang biyahe pero ayan, atat na atat ng umalis.”

“Ano!?” Kim exclaimed and then looked at her watch. “Oo nga no! An gaga pa natin,” Kim said with a giggle. “Sorry po!” She said with a contrite look on her face.

“Ok lang yan Kim, naiintindihan ko naman,” Ate Ta replied with a knowing look.

“Uy Ate Ta, ikaw ha! Anong ibig mong sabihin?” Kim asked.

“Sus, ikaw talaga. Alam ko anniversary nyo ngayon ni Gerald kaya naiintindihan ko kung bakit hindi ka mapakali dyan,” Ate Ta explained.

“Ahhh…kaya pala.” Fredo said witcoulh a nod and a smile from the front seat.

“ATE TA! Paano nyo alam?!” Kim exclaimed in surprise.

“Kim, nandoon ako nung first time at second time. Ngayon ang pangatlong pagdiriwang nyo. Natatandaan ko ang araw Kim.” Ate Ta said with a teasing smile.

“Natatandaan nyo? Hahaha,” Kim could only ask ang giggle in response because she could not think of anything to say anymore. Ate Tata was right. Today was indeed their third anniversary.

Kim took a deep breath and signed in anticipation as she settled more comfortable in her seat. The she got lost in her thoughts as she kept on thinking on what surprise Gerald had in store for her today.

In their past two anniversaries, Gerald had always spritng his surprise first thing in the morning. He had flowers delivered to her the moment she woke up. The other time, the flowers and his gift was waiting for her at her dressing room because they had work that day too. Since last night, she had been thinking of nothing else but what surprise she would receive from him.

For her part, she had ordered a set of his and hers ring
for them. Kim wanted to take the rings out of her bag and look at them again but she controlled herself because Ate Tata was sitting so close to her. She wanted Gerald to be the first to see the rings before other people.

Therefore she contented herself by thinking of ideas on how she would give her gift to Gerald. Upon reaching their destination, Kim came up with the idea of giving the ring to him after he would give his gift too.

Kim arrived at the set with thirty minutes to spare. She skipped towards the tent assigned to her and eagerly looked around for a bouquet of flowers or a wrapped present or a banner greeting her but nothing was there. Hiding her disappointment, she went out of the tent and hailed one of the PAs passing by.

“Anne,good morning. Alam mo ba kung dumating na si Gerald?”

“Good morning Kim. Ang alam ko, di pa dumadating si Gerald. Maaga pa naman eh,” The personal assistant in the set answered.

“Ah Ok. Oo nga, maaga pa pala. Thank you,” Kim replied to the PA who smiled in return.

Kim went back inside the tent and thought of reading her script one more time. But she could not concentrate in anticipation. She could feel the erratic beating of her heart and could not sit still. After every few minutes, she kept glancing on his watch while wondering how Gerald could give his surprise if she arrived there ahead of him.

“Ikaw kasi Kim, masyadong excited. Ayan tuloy, ikaw din ang sumira ng surprise mo!” Kim scolded herself as she stood up and paced the length of the tent.

Ten minutes before she was due at the set, Anne, the PA whom she asked about Gerald earlier, came into the tent and reminded her to be at the set in ten minutes. Kim spent the next eight minutes readying herself and then stood up and went out of the tent.

The next instant, she squealed as she bumped into something. Or rather, it was someone.

“Good morning Baby. Sorry I’m late,” Gerald said from the opening of the tent as he held out his arm to steady her.

“Bakit ngayon ka lang?” Kim asked.

“Sorry natraffic kasi ako medyo late na nagising. Halika na bllis, hinihintay na tayo ni Direk,” Gerakd said as he grabbed her hand and pulled her.

“Teka lang…” Kim started to protest but suddently another thought entered her mind. OMG, what if he would spring the surprise in front of everybody. Oh no, it’s going to be embarrassing because she doesn’t want to broadcast such event to everyone. She was a private person and public display of affection and public declaration of feelings was a no-no to her. Yes, they are romantic and made her giddy all over always, but she wanted to prevent it as much as possible. It was okay to her if Gerald would whisper romantic words or do swoon-worthy acts if there was only the two of them. But knowing Gerald and his penchant for not holding back and keeping his feelings towards her, it would not be impossible for him to come up with such idea.

“Gerald! Kung ano man….” Kim started to tell him tos stop whatever his plans are but she was too late. They were already in front of their director.

“O, ayan nap ala silang dalawa, let’s get mpving everyone,” the director ordered.

Everyone sprang into motion and went to their designated places. Everyone except Kim who was rooted on the spot in shock, dimay or disappointment, she did not know. She was really expecting to see the surorise from Gerald but she had expedted wrongly again.

“Kim, ok ka lang ba? Ano pla ang sinasa I mo kanina?” Gerald nudged her.

“Ha? Ah…uhm…ok lang ako. Wala naman akong sinasabi ah?” Kim replied, hoping that Gerald would not see through her lie.
Hiding her dismay at herself foe expecting so much, she forced herself to concentrate on her work. Their scene was shot in a breeze and suddenly the crew set up the place for the next scene. Kim turned to Gerald to talk to him but he beat her to it.

“Kim, I need to talk to Direk. See you later,” gErald said and turned on his heel and went after the director.She had not even answered him and he turned his back on her!

Kim, relax ka lang. Wag masyadong high blood, Kim thought to herself as she walked towards the tent to prepare for the next scene. She was expecting Gerald to be back after a few minutes but he did not come. During the next several break while the next scene was set up, Gerald did not come to her but instead he came up with one reason after another why he has to go to such person or places.

By the time their lunch break came, Kim was already at the end of her patience and was thinking of ignoring him when he arrived with food for her.

“Kim sorry talaga. Marami lang kasi akong inaasikaso,” Gerald said as he bent down and kissed her on the forehead.
Since Kim was seething a little, she did not reply and instead just grabbed the food and opened it.

“Kim bakit nakasimangot ka? May problema ba?” Gerald asked tenderly as he took the seat opposite her. When Kim still did not answer Gerald put his fingers under her chin and tipped her face.

“Aha! I could see the fire burning in your eyes. Galit ka ba sa akin?” Gerald asked once again but he was met with only silence from kim.

With a sigh, he sat straight and forced Kim to look him in the eye. “Baby, I’m sorry talaga but you know about my problem on how to attackthe heavy scene assigned to me. Kaya I asked Direk for help as well as the other veteran actors on the set. Tapos yung sasakyan ko, di pa rin tapos kaya finalow-up ko sya. Sorry kung super busy ako today but believe me, you were never out of my mind. You’re always at the back of my thoughts. Don’t worry I’ll make it up to you,” Gerald promised.

Kim could feel the anger quickly seeping out of her system. That was always the case with Gerald. She could never stay angry with him even for an hour. She could last only a few minutes. But then part of it was his fault too. He was so charming when he would apologize to her. And then he would intersperse a few romantic lines within his apology that was bound to soften her heart towards him instantly.

“Baby, patawad na please? Pretty please?” Gerald begged.
Kim looked at him and seeing the contrite and sincere look at his face, she could do nothing but forgive him.

“Sige na nga, pinapatawad na kita,” Kim declared with a sigh.

“Thanks Baby. That’s why I love you.” Gerald said with a smile.

“sshhh…ano ka ba, baka may makarinig sa iyo,” Kim hissed at him.

“So what? Totoo naman yun, I love you so,” Gerald repeated which earned him a glare from Kim.

“Ok sige na, I’ll stop,” Gerald replied with a grin.”Kain na tayo.”

The two of them turned on their food and ate in comfortable silence for a while.

“Ge, wala ka bang may nakalimutan?” Kim finally asked after a few minutes. She could not help herself from asking him.

“Nakalimutan?” Gerald asked then paused as he searched his thoughts. “Ang alam ko wala kasi na check ko na kagabi ang mga gamit ko. Kung meron akong nakalimutan papakuha k okay Joven. Are you referring to my things or iba pa?”

“Ah…oo sa mga gamit mo kasi di ba late ka kanina?” Kim reasoned.

“Wala naman.” Gerald answered and then reached for his water when he was suddenly overcome with coughing fits.

Kim stood up and tapped him on his back and said, “Gerald ano ba, dahan dahan lang.”

They resumed their lunch afterwards as they talked about mundane things around them. They resumed shooting a few minutes afterwards.

While the next scene was being set up, Gerald went to sit beside Kim and promptly went to sleep. Kim could only gape at him because she could not believe it, but it seems that Gerald had forgotten about their anniversary.

“Gerald! Ge!” Kim poked him on his chest.

Gerald opened one eye at asked, “Ano?”

“Alam mo ba ang date ngayon?” Kim asked.

“Ano?” Gerald mumbled.

“Yung date ngayon. Anong date ngayon!” Kim replied a little impatiently.

“Ginsing mo ako para tanuning. Baby talaga!” But Gerald looked at his watch and replied. “Tody is July 3.”

“July 3?” Kim repeated to which Gerald nodded and then went back to sleep.

Kim could not believe it. He really had forgotten today’s significance. Kim wanted to strangle him but she was saved by the arrival of their director.

“Kim, Gerald, hanggang 4 PM lang tayo ngayon kasi may lakad akong importante. Kaya pack up tayo by then, OK?”

“Sige po, thanks Direk,” Kim responded.

“Ano sabi ni Direk?” Gerald suddenly asked from beside her and Kim curbed her anger and replied, “Hanggang $ PM lang daw tayo today kasi may lakad si Driek!”

“That’s good. I have time to….” Gerald started to say something but stopped mid-sentence.

“You have time to what?” Kim asked.

“I cannot decide now. Kung pupuntahan ko ba yung sasakyan ko or should I go with Matt and Fred. Niyayaya nila kasi akong magbasketball.” Gerald replied.

ANO? Mas naaalala mo pa ang sasakyan mo at basketball kesa sa anniversary natin? Kim wanted to scream at him but only controlled herself because they were surrounded by the whole crew and staff.

Kim decided to ignore him then and there and give him the cold shoulder treatment but her plan backfired on her when Gerald continued to sleep and did not wake up until it was time for their take.

By the time four o’clock came, Kim’s anger had subsided that only a little irritation was all she felt. She gingerly walked to her tent hoping to stay away from Gerald. But she was so wrong. He was already there waiting for her.

“Kim, sorry I need to go. Matt and Fred are already outside wating for me. Bye, see you tomorrow,” Gerald said in haste then placed a quick kiss on her check and was gone in a flash before she could even formulate a response.

“Ganun lang yun? Sige tingna nating bukas!” Kim said to his retreating back.

In annoyance, she went inside the tent and said to Ate Tata, “Ate Ta, doon na ako sa labas maghintay!” Then she angrily stomped away.

I could not believe it! Nakalimutan nya! At ni remind ko na sya ng date, hindi nya pa rin na gets. Ayun inuna pa ang basketball kesa sa akin! Humanda ka sa akin, tingna ko lang kung ilang lingo kitang hindi kakausapin! Arrrgghhh!! Kakainis sya….kesyo ba third anniversary na naming eh hindi na mahalaga sa kanya! Kim ranted inwardly as she walked towards the waiting area where her driver would pick her up.

Bukas, wala ng Kim and Gerald, wala ng 4th anniversary na ice-celebrate kasi mamayang gabi, makikipag break ako sa kanya! Tingna ko lang! Kim continued to rant, keeping the words just in her thoughts as she paced the area watiting for her vehicle.

When fifteen minutes passed and still her van was not around, she called her driver and asked what was keeping him. Kuya Fredo told him that another vehicle has blocked the van and they are waiting for the driver.

“Wala na bang tama na mangyayari sa araw na ito?” Kim muttered to herself as she continued to pace and seeth in anger.”At nag-abala pa ako ng regalo ko, hindi naman naalala ni Geraldo! Hmmph!”

“Oh Kim, wala pa ang sasakyan?” Ate Tata suddenly asked from beside her which made her jump. She was preoccupied with her ranting she did not notice that Ate Tata was already beside her.

“Na block daw kasi sabi ni Kuya Fredo, hinihintay pa nila yung driver ng sasakyan,” Kim replied.

"Oh eto nap ala,” Kim suddenly exclaimed when she saw her van rounding the corner.

“Ay sandali, nakalimutan ko yung isang bag. Teka lang,” Ate Tata said and then ran back towards the tent.

“AT bakit nya dinala balik yung ibang bags? Sana iniwan nya na lang dito. Si Ate Tata talaga!” Kim commented to herself with a shake of her head.

The van suddenly stopped in front of her and she walked towards it. She pulled the door open and promptly gasped in shock when a big bouquet of red roses filled her vision.

“Happy 3rd Anniversary Baby!” Gerald’s smiling face suddenly appeared behind the roses. “Akala mo nakalimutan ko no? Never ever will I forget this special day.”


When Kim remained immobile with shock and surprise, Gerald chuckled and said, “Kim umakyat ka na dito bago makita ng mga tao na nandito ako sa sasakyan mo. Sige ka, malalaman ng mundo ito.”

Gerald’s threat worked in making Kim moved. She hastily climbed up the van and closed the door then she turned on Gerald.

“Alam mo, nakakainis ka!” Kim said at last and punched him on the arm.

Gerald chuckled and pulled her closer to him. “Gusto kitang i-surprise. Ikaw naman hindi makapaghintay. If you’d only seen your face after you asked me if I have forgotten something! At ng tinanong mo ako kung anong date ngayon. Baby ko talaga!” Gerald said and pulled her to him again.

Kim could not erase the scowl on her face in annoyance. Gerald had indeed surprised her but he had to tease her first.

“Baby, wag ka ng sumimangot please. Hindi ko naman talaga nakalimutan anniversary natin.” Gerald said as he bent down and put a lingering kiss on her cheek.

“Wag ka ng magalit please. Please forgive me again for teasing you.” Gerald tenderly begged as he bent down and kissed her cheek again and again.

Kim could feel her annoyance fade with each kiss and in no time at all, she was already leaning towards Gerald in resignation. She took a deep breath and finally gave in to the smile that she had been suppressing after the shock of seeing Gerald with the flowers wore off.

Gerald must have felt her yielding because he thrust the flowers at her hands and said, “Eton a ang flowers mo.”

Kim leaned away from him and accepted the flowers with a smile. “Sa;amat dito.”

“Hi Kim!”

“Hello Kim. Musta na?”

Two familiar voices called out to her from the front seat.

“Kuya Matt! Fred! Anong ginagawa nyo!” Kim exclaimed in surprise.

“Hindi ba obvious na sinusundo namin kayo ni Ge?” Matt replied.

“Bakit kayo pa ang sumundo? Saan na pala ang mga driver natin? At si Ate Tata!” Kim turned to Gerald in question.

“Relax ka lang magkakasama silang lahat doon sa sasakyan ko at ihahatid sina Ate Tata ni Joven sa bahay nyo.” Gerald answered.

“Bakit silang dalawa ang nagsundo sa atin?” Kim asked again.

“Kasi po, may surprise si Gerald sa iyo,” Fred replied from the front seat.

“Ha? Anong surprise?” Kim inquired.

“Basta makikita mo na yan maya maghintay ka lang,” Gerald assured her. To keep Kim’s mind off his surprise, Gerald steered the conversation towards what happened earlier.

“Baby,aminin mo, akala mo talaga nakalimutan ko yung anniversary natin ano?”

Kim smiled sheepishly before admitting the truth to Gerald. “Oo na, inaamin ko, akala ko talaga nakalimutan mo ang araw na ito. Muntik na nga kitang masapak alam mo ba?”

Gerald laughed out loud at her admission. “Ikaw talaga! Pwede ba naman yun?”

“Paano kasi Geraldo, the past two years, eh sinusurprise mo ako first thing in the morning. Yun ang ini-expect ko no!” Kim retorted.

“Kung ganun, tama nga nag plano ko na baguhin ang pagsurprise sa iyo. Eh di surprised ka talaga!” Gerald declared.

“Oo nga, nasurprise mo talaga ako.” Kim giggled. “Buti na lang at maaga tayong napack-up ngayon no?”

“Yes, kasi pinakiusapan ko si Direk!” Gerald announced.

“ANO? You mean to tell me…” Kim started.

“That I was responsible for our early out at work. Alam mo naman si Direk mabait yun kaya pinagbigyan ako.” Gerald finished.

Kim could only gape at him in disbelief. Then a wide smile broke across her face.

“Ano, mas lalo kang bumilib sa akin di ba?” Gerald wiggled his eyebrows at her.

“Hahaha…ayan ka na naman Geraldo! Tumigil ka nga dyan,” Kim admonished him but ended up bursting in laughter at the adorable look in Gerald’s face.

“Oist kayong dalawa, nandito na tayo,” Matt called out to them as he turned on a corner.

Kim leaned towards the window on her side and exclaimed, “Uy, dagat! Punta tayo ng dagat?”

“Lahat ng tanong mo masasagot na in few minutes kaya easy ka lang dyan,” Gerald replied. “Teka nga pala, I need to put a blindfold on you first.”

“Bakit kailangan pa ng blindfold?” Kim pouted.

“Para di mo Makita kaagad ang surprise para sa iyo,” Gerald said as he took out the prepared blindfold from his pocket and covered Kim’s eyes with it.

“Huwag kang gumalaw dyan. Hintayin mo ako,” Gerald advised as he opened the door to his side and went down. He went around the vehicle and opened the door to Kim’s side and reached for her hands.

“Here I am. Just hold on tight!” Gerald said.

Kim held out her hands to Gerald, waiting for him to guide her down from the car when she suddenly felt herself being hoisted off the seat. Even with her eyes covered, she knew that it was Gerald who was carrying her because she felt so safe. After a few feet away, Gerald put her down and told her to get ready.

Kim stood still as Gerald turned her to the right direction and then removed her blindfold. She blinked several times to clear her vision before she saw and realize in disbelief what was in front of her.

She turned to the beaming Gerald beside her and asked, “Gerald, ano yan?”

“It’s a yacht silly. That’s your present. Come closer and look,” Gerald pulled her forward and pointed at the name written on the side of the small white yacht.

“The Kimmy?!” Kim asked in disbelief.

“Yes, I named it after you of course. After all, it’s going to be yours.” Gerald explained.

“Pero Gerald…” Kim started hesitantly.

“Bakit, hindi mo ba gusto ang present mo?” Gerald asked when he saw the strained expression on her face.

“Ge, don’t get me wrong. I like…I love it. But that is already too much. Sobra sobra na yan,I cannot accept it,” Kim explained.

“But Kim, parang tinatanggihan mo na din ang pagmamahal ko sa iyo. Ito ang naisip ko na paraan to show you how much I love you.” Gerald retorted.

“Alam mo sira ka din no. Hindi naman nasusukat ng material na bagay ang pagmamahal no! Besides, hindi ko din hinihingi sa iyo na bigyan mo ako ng mamahaling gift. Sa flowers lang ok na ako basta’t kasama kita solve na ako doon. Happy na ako,” Kim explained further.

“Ang cheap naman ng baby ko!” Gerald exclaimed then, which earned him a whack in the arm from Kim.

“Sira! Ang sinasabi ko lang, dapat ipunin mo yung pera mo para sa future.” Kim replied.

“Eh para sa future naman din natin ito ah? Magiging conjugal property din natin ito. Tama! Ok lang kung hindi mo tatanggapin, sa akin na lang ito. And like I said, magiging conjugal property natin in the future. Brilliant!” Gerald said gleefully.

“Conjugal property?! Hoy Geraldo, hindi ka naman masyadong advanced ano?”

“Kanina lang sabi mo iisipin ko ang future. Kim matagal ko ng pinag-iisipang ang future ko. At ang future ko is spending a lifetime with you. Alam na alam ko na ikaw lang ang babaeng pakakasalan ko, there’s no question about it!”

“Paano ka naman nakakasiguro, aber?” Kim challenged him.

“Paano ako nakakasiguro na ikaw ang pakakasalan ko? Simple lang. Kasi alam ko ikaw lang ang babaeng kukumpleto ng buhay ko at magpapasaya sa akin. At…kahit pa anong mangyari, hinding hindi kita pakakawalan. Gagawin ko ang lahat para sa iyo – papasayahin ka para hindi ka na humanap ng iba.” Gerald declared fervently.

Kim had to mentally fan herself after hearing Gerald’s words. Then she had to remind herself to exhale because Gerald had taken her breath away. How could she ever look for someone else when Gerald kept on surprising her at every turn? She was used to him declaring his feelings for her but to hear him say that he would do anything to keep her so they would spend the future and even a lifetime together! It was just heaven. Kim had to suddenly bite the inside of her cheeks to keep from smiling so wide. She had to restrain herself from jumping up and down in giddiness. Instead, she sighed deeply and recalled Gerald’s words to her mind. She wanted to etch them in her memory so that she could go back and retrieve it every now and then just for the sake of feeling giddy.

“Kim, alam ko kinikilig ka dyan pero tama na muna yan. Let’s go,” Gerald called out to her.

.Kim suppressed her grin as she walked towards him. When Kim reached his side, Gerald gently steered her forward and they both descended the gangplank going into the yacht.

Kim was awed by the elegance and grandeur of the yacht. It was about 20 meters long and about 12 meters wide. The door opened to a circular staircase on the right leading to the lower deck while on the left, stood a small bar. A small dining table occupied the space next to the staircase. A wide flat screen TV hang on the wall opposite a white sofa. According to Gerald, it was the living/dining room combined. Kim approved the white and gold colors of the room.

The sliding door adjacent to the sofa opened to an unhindered view of the ocean. When Kim stepped out, she realized that there was a pool with chaise lounges beside it. She looked on the right and saw a stairs going up. She looked up and saw Matt and Fred waving at her from a small, transparent room on top. Gerald explained that it was the navigation room and Matt and Fred were the navigators for their trip.

“Trip? Bakit saan ba tayo pupunta?” Kim asked.

“Secret lang muna. Basta may pupuntahan tayo. At huwag kang mag-alala babalik din tayo kaagad!” Gerald assured her before she could say anything.

Gerald suggested that they continue the tour of the yacht and Kim agreed. They went back inside and went down to the lower deck where the two bedrooms were located.

“Eto ang room mo,” Gerald said and opened the first door they came upon.

“Wow!” Words totally escaped Kim as she looked at the splendor of the room. It was done in different shades of pink. She went to the window and pushed the curtains aside. She had a view of the water and the passing island. The door on the right led to the bathroom that was also done in shades of pink.

Gerald also showed her his room that has a red and blue accent and was decorated splendidly too.

“Kung may anak na tayo in the future, itong room ko ang magiging room natin at yung room mo, sa mga anak natin. Of course, by that time, na re-decorate na ang mga rooms,” Gerald said confidently.

Kim was taken aback by the certainty of his sentence that she could not think of anything to say to him. Instead, she could feel her heart beating fast in exhilaration. She had to admit that it was her dream to have children with Gerald in the future too.

Forty five minutes later, Gerald announced that they have arrived at their destination. Kim eagerly looked out of the window but it was pitched black outside. She could only discern a small port of some sort where they have docked. By the light of the moon, Kim could see the silhouette of a house in a distance.

Gerald then turned to Kim and reached for her hands. “Tayo na baby.” Then he assited her down the plank and onto the shore. Kim gasped suddenly when the lights were turned on as they neared the house. A table set for two was placed in front of the porch of the lighted house.

“Gerald, nasa Pinas pa ba tayo?” Kim asked at last when she finally recovered from another surprise.

“Oo naman Kim. Dito lang tayo sa isang private island. Nirentahan ko for 2 days para walang distorbo at para tayong dalawa lang,” Gerald said.

“Grabe ka talaga! Sana hindi mo na ginawa ito,” Kim said.

“Eh sa gusto kong gawin ito sa iyo. Hayaan mo na ako baby, kasi dito ako Masaya. Kaya halika na let’s eat.”

“Pano mo nagawa ang lahat ng ito?” Kim asked.

“Yung restaurant na nagcater, nag agree na sila gagawa nito. They just left a few minutes, I believe.” Gerald replied.

Gerald pulled out her seat for her and Kim did not need any more urging. She went to her seat and saw the steaming rice on their plates and the pork chop still sizzling a little.

“Hhmmm….bango pa lang masarap na,” Kim exclaimed before she took her utensils and dug into her food. She looked up to see Gerald hold his fork with a slice of pork out to her. She smiled at him before opening her mouth and accepting the food. They ended up feeding each other their dinner.

After several minutes, Kim lapsed into silence.

“Kim bakit? May problema ba?” Gerald asked.

Kim shook her head and said, “No, walang problema. May naisip lang kasi ako.”

“Ano yun?”

“I just can’t believe na three years na pala tayo. Parang kelan lang ano?”

“Yes, parang kelan lang. I remembered how you used to be so secretive about yourself. Yes, you talk but you never talk about yourself.”

Kim chuckled and said, “Kasi hindi naman talaga ako basta basta nagsishare lang sa kung kanino. Isa pa nadala na ako sa nangyari sa akin. Hindi naman ako naghahanap ng relationship eh.”

“I guess your being mysterious is what lured me in the first place. And it takes a lot before you opened up yourself.” Gerald admitted.

“Kasi nga…yun naman ang plano ko eh. Kaso ikaw…” Kim started to say but stopped.

“Kaso ako what?” Gerald asked.

“Kaso ikaw, you breached the walls I erected with your sense of humor, your constant attention and care. Kahit ilang beses medyo nagdistance ako sa iyo, hindi ka tumigil. You persisted and you constantly showed me that I matter, that I’m interesting. Kaya itong puso ko, wala ng nagawa. Bumigay na siya,” Kim finally admitted.

She looked up to see Gerald beaming with happiness. “From the first moment I met you, I know you are something else. And I’m glad hindi ako nagkamali sa desisyon ko to get to know you better. And I am mighty glad that I did not stop. Kasi sa totoo lang, nahihirapan din ako at first. I didn’t know how to reach you and I even had doubts and asked myself if it is worth it to go after you. But after I got to know you, I know I did not made a mistake. Instead, I found a priceless treasure in you.” Gerald said before he took Kim’s hands and kissed her knuckles.

“Suddenly Kim remembered her gift. “Teka lang pala, sandal!” She dug into her pocket and took out a small velvet box.

“Eto naman ang gift ko sa iyo,” Kim announced and then held out the box to Gerald.

The small card attached to the ribbon read: To the one who won my heart.

Then he untied the ribbon, opened the box and found a ring inside. The ring was a simple band made of white gold. But when Gerald took out the ring, he noticed and inscription inside. He held it close and read: You’re mine Gerald ~ Kim

“So I’m the one who won your heart so I’m yours?” Gerald asked tenderly.

“Yes, you won it with your patience, persistence, sense of humor and your sincere affection and care. And because of that I will be forever yours.”

Gerald was so overwhelmed with emotion that he could not stop himself from reaching for Kim and embraced her tightly. “I’m yours Kim and you’re mine till eternity,” Gerald whispered gruffly in her ear.

They stood like that embraced in each other’s arms as they let their emotion for each other take over for a while. Their racing heartbeats and tingling nerves tell each other how deep is the love and affection they both shared. When at last their heart beat normally again, Gerald gently pulled Kim and ushered her towards the shore.

“Let’s take a walk,” he suggested.

Kim nodded in agreement and in silence, they traversed the white sand in the island. They came upon a blanket a short while later and Gerald steered Kim towards it.

“Dito tayo Kim.”

“Sa iyo ba ito?” Kim asked.

“Oo kasama pa ito sa mga plano for tonight,” Gerald answered.

Kim then sat on the blanket and gazed at the water. “Ang ganda dito. Tahimik. Thank you Gerald for this wonderful day.”

“Anything for my love,”Gerald said and then he laid on the blanket. “Ang ganda ng gabi ngayon. The sky is clear at makikita mo lahat ng stars.”

At his words, Kim did not need any urging. She laid down beside Gerald too and gazed at the sky. “Oo nga. Ang ganda ng gabi ngayon.”

A short while later a light erupted into the sky followed by another one until they lighted the whole sky.

“Uy Ge, may fireworks tingan mo.” Kim exclaimed excitedly.

“Ang ganda naman!” Kim clapped her hands in excitement as she continued to gaze transfixed in the sky.

“Nagfoform ang lights, ano ba yun?” Kim exclaimed again. She stared unblinking at the fireworks, eager to see what it will do next.
I LOVE YOU KIM!
The fireworks had formed the words and Kim gasped in surprise. She looked at Gerald and saw him looking at her so intently that she had to swallow.

“Ge….?”

“I love you Kim, so much,” he whispered gruffly as he lowered his head towards Kim.

Kim could only look at him, eagerly anticipating the meeting of their lips. When at last Gerald’s lips met hers, Kim could not hold back anymore. She kissed him back with as much ardor as he had given. Kim grabbed his head to hold it still as she lost whatever inhibitions she had. All that matter to her at the moment was showing Gerald how she feels for him.

THANK YOU IN ADVANCE! KIMERALD FOR THE WIN!!!

Why Kimerald Should Not Be Separated

Recent rumors, ABS-CBN's silence and the news black out about Kimerald may mean only two things. 1) ABS wanted to keep quiet about their plans for KG, to keep the other network on tenterhooks and spring the surprise at them 2) ABS-CBN will push through with their ridiculous plan of separating Kimerald.

I sincerely wish that it's because of reason number 1. But if they're planning of separating KIMERALD, then I really think they should reconsider their plan because of the following reasons:

1) THE TIME IS NOT YET RIGHT. Kim and Gerald is hottest love team today. They have won the Most Popular Love Team in Guillermo Mendoza Awards for three consecutive years already. Advertisers want them and the proof is their numerous product endorsements. Tayong Dalawa is doing so well in the ratings and has in fact put ABS-CBN back to number 1 spot in Mega Manila. All their mall shows and their shows local and abroad were mobbed by fans/people who wanted to see them. They have been all over the country and the world to do some shows because people request for them. People are still clamoring for them and we cannot understand why someone could even think of separating them when they are in-demand.

Piolo, John Lloyd, Judy Anne, Bea, Claudine and other big Star Magic stars started with love teams too. Piolo-Juday and John Lloyd-Bea had starred in several long-running soaps and movies together and were love teams for five to six years before each of them were slowly pulled out of the love teams to be paired with someone else until they could stand on their own and make it big.

I was expecting the same gradual transition for Kim and Gerald too, not the abrupt separation that is what seems to be happening right now. I am very much aware that they would not be love teams forever and I know they need to be paired with other actors too to improve their craft. But I think NOW is just not the right time for them. They still need the love team right now to fully establish themselves in showbiz. And the fans do not have enough of them yet. And as long as people want to see them together, why deprive them of their happiness?

2) GROWTH.Several articles have come out saying that pairing Kim and Gerald with others will be good for their career growth. In fact, some of the articles were implying that the fans are hindering their growth because of our protest. However, I do not buy the reason that this is just all about GROWTH for Kim and Gerald. I can still remember clearly what Kris Aquino said in The Buzz when the rumor about Gerald-Sarah G. movie started: Viva is looking for someone Sarah’s age para ipartner sa kanya at si Gerald ang nakita nila na lutang among his age. That is why Viva is setting their sight on Gerald. They want him as a new partner for Sarah.

This alone is the reason why some people wanted to separate Kim and Gerald. Thus the fans' violent reaction then…and their violent reaction, opposition and protest until now. Kris has already said the main reason then. And Kris is credible so the fans would appreciate it if ABS-CBN/Star Cinema and Viva could spare us all those reasons like growth, career move, maturity etc. because we all know na kaya there is talk about all of this dahil lang sa whim ng Viva to have Gerald for Sarah.

Besides, if they want Gerald to grow as an actor, they should pair him with someone who is already an established actress in the industry like Bea or Claudine or Judy Anne, whose forte is really acting and not pair him with a singer who just acts every now and then.

3) HYPOCRISY The best thing that the fans love about Kim and Gerald aside from their palpable chemistry is their genuine affection and care for each other, most especially Gerald. He is never afraid to declare his feelings for Kim on national television, unlike the other love teams and even showbiz couple in real life.

Now if he will be paired with someone else in a movie, I dread the time of the promotion of that movie because Gerald, whether he like it or not, will be coerced to act sweet towards that someone else just to tickle the viewers to watch the movie. For sure, he will be asked questions like what was the best thing about the girl; have you developed some feelings towards her; or worse, the news would come out that he is already courting the girl and he and Kim would be forbidden to be seen publicly.

And then, what happens next? Gerald would be the target of intrigues again. Sasabihin na naman na sinungaling si Gerald, na he was just using Kim when he said months ago na he loves kim and is willing to wait for the day she says yes to him. His detractors would have a field day then when this would happen.

And the real and true Gerald that the fans love would be destroyed because he will be forced to do everything to promote their movie. Siguro kung nasa Hollywood lang sila, I would not be soworried and concerned and protest so much. Kasi personal and private lives are not used to sell a movie or show. But this is Philippine showbiz, and most of the time, whether we would admit it or not, hypocrisy is used to sell a movie or show.

It’s not that Gerald is not trustworthy! Kim and Gerald have their fans's trust. It's just hard to trust the movie producers if ever because they would go to great lengths - bigyan ng kulay ang mga wala namang kulay na bagay - just to ensure the people would watch the movie. They would say that the guy is courting the girl, or he got attracted to his leading lady etc...and make up stories that are lame just to get people to watch and tickle them with kilig - kahit fake at pilit yung kilig na yun!

I know most of Kimerald fans object to the separation and we object not out of selfishness and our desire to chain them to each other as what other people/fans of other artists are accusing us Kimerald fans of; we are opposing to pairing them with someone else because we would not want them subjected to hypocrisy and insincerity during the promotion of the movie/show para lang mapakilig yung ibang tao na hindi pa kinilig sa totoong meron sina Kim and Gerald.

Kim and Gerald have a lot of fans, who already get giddy just seeing them sitting or standing side by side. Their natural chemistry is one of the reasons why they accumulate so much fans...why ruin it? Bakit kailangan sirain sila at mag-experiment with something na sa umpisa pa lang marami na ang kumokontra?

4) SAWA FACTOR

To justify the plan and idea of those people wanted to break the Kimerald loveteam, they came up with another (smokescreen) reason why Kim and Gerald needed to be paired with someone else: para maiwasan na magsawa ang mga tao sa kanila.But people are still clamoring for them.

Just look at their recent provincial shows like in Bacolod, Pangasinan and just very recently, yung sa Cebu. They were the most applauded and had the most screaming fans in the Star Magic show in California. People came in droves just to see them. Every venue is always filled to the brim with fans who wanted to see them. Is that an indication na nagsasawa na ang tao sa kanila? Mas magiging masama sa career ng Kimerald kung pilit ihiwalay sila ngayon when they are doing so very well as a love team kasi gusto ng tao nakikita sila together. Instead of breaking them apart, Star Magic should make the most of Kimerald love team.

Besides, yung nakakasawa is when you shove other artist down people’s throats hoping that people will like that artist too. Yun ang nakakasawa. But with Kimerald, they have captured their fans through their innate chemistry and genuine affection for each other even when they were just inside the PBB house. Hindi pilit yung tambalan nila kaya we don’t think na makakasawa sila.

5) SNN POLL

What happened to the poll that SNN made regarding Kimerald several months back? They were asking the people kung gusto pa rin nila na Kimerald ang magsama sa next project, di ba the result was 99.1 % yung oo at .9% lang ang hindi?

Then hindi pa nakuntento sa isang poll question about Kimerald, in that week alone, they had 3 polls about Kimerald and in all those three days, Kimerald pa rin ang wagi sa polls. That alone should tell the management that Kimerald is still strong and their fans are still there to support them.

Just a few weeks ago, may SNN poll na naman about Kimerald at as usual panalo pa rin ang PRO-Kimerald. Pati sa ABS-CBN site, sa STIR site at halos lahat na lang ng poll and sites are milking Kimerald fans...but in all those polls (basta honest at walang magic) Kimerald always win. It indicates na malakas ang following nila and marami ang nagkakandarapa na magvote sa kanila and gusto pa rin sila.

There are a lot of proofs that Kimerald is still strong and we really cannot fathom the reason and way of thinking of those people who even dare suggest na iseparate or pair ang Kimerald sa iba. Their reason na for career growth or para hindi magsawa ang tao is not convincing for us the fans. They should do better than that.

But we still do not forget what Kris said in The Buzz, and we think why suddenly they think it’s a good move to pair Kim and Gerald with someone else: Viva wants someone Sarah’s age na ipartner sa kanya at si Gerald ang nakikita nila na angat sa iba. But didn’t they see it? Gerald is there on top – with Kim at his side. Kaya sila angat not because of Gerald alone or Kim alone. They are on the top because they climbed it together.

KIMERALD short story FF: ONE LOVE

CHAPTER 1: SWEET NOTHINGS

“Kim, sagutin mo na bilis, kanina pa tawag ng tawag yan! At tanong lang ng tanong kung saan ka!”

A harassed-sounding Ate Tata met Kim the moment she stepped into the waiting area and thrust the ringing phone into her hands. She looked at her watch and saw that it was already 2:15 AM, fifteen minutes past the time she told him earlier that she would be finished.

Kim was about to press the answer key when the phone stopped ringing and saw that the call came from Gerald. She accessed her phone log and saw that there were fifteen calls from Gerald alone in the last fifteen minutes.

“Ano kayang nangyari? Bakit ganun na lang kadami ang tawag niya?” Kim asked herself worriedly. She was about to call Gerald when her phone rang again and saw his name on the screen.

“Gerald, bakit?” Kim said when she answered his call.

“Baby, saan ka ba galing?” Gerald, sounding annoyed, said on the other line.

“Nandito syempre sa taping. Kakatapos ko lang ng last scene ko for today. Pauwi na din ako. Bakit ka pala tawag ng tawag?” Kim replied as she waited for Ate Tata to gather her things so they could go home.

“Kasi miss na miss na kita! Gusto ko marining kahit yung boses mo man lang since hindi tayo nagkita today.” Gerald replied. “I am beginning to hate our schedule kasi hindi na tayo magkasama sa taping, hindi na kita nakakasama ng buong araw.”

Kim sighed to herself. She could commiserate with Gerald but that would do both of them no good because they would only be in despair if she will do it. She also missed him so much and was looking forward to spending the next day with him when they were both free from work. So it was up to her to cheer him up for now.

“Sa dami ng tawag mo na yun, yan lang ang sasabihin mo? Na miss mo lang ako? Eh kakausap lang natin two hours ago ah. Akala ko kung anong emergency na!” Kim teased him.

“That was two hours ago. And I miss you again already. Baka kasi nakalimutan mo na ako. Baka may iba ng nagpapatawa sa iyo dyan at nag-aalaga sa iyo.” Gerald said with a hint of a pout in his voice.

“Hay, ang baby ko nagseselos na naman,” Kim said with a laugh. “Pwede ba naman na makalimutan kita? Siyempre hindi. At alam mo ba, miss na miss din kita.”

Kim uttered the last sentence in a whisper lest someone would hear her. Her heart was thumping wildly against her chest now that she was talking with him, and hearing his sweet words. All throughout the day, she was showing on a happy face but deep inside, she was feeling a little down because Gerald was not around. She was so used to always having him around at work that it felt strange without him.

“Talaga? Na-miss mo din ako?” Gerald asked in a teasing tone.

“Oo naman! Kaya wag ka ng magselos ok? How was your day by the way?” Kim asked as she moved a little farther away from the people so she could talk more freely.

“My day? Well, syempre taping lang buong araw and everything went smoothly naman. Yun nga lang, my day is incomplete because you are not around. I miss you so much baby,” Gerald answered.

“Kawawa naman ang baby ko,” Kim crooned to Gerald. “Hayaan mo ilang oras na lang magkikita na tayo. Miss na miss na miss din kita! Oh eto na si Ate Tata, aalis na kami. See you later, baby! Mwah!”

“Wait anong ilang oras? See you in a minute. I’m coming!” Gerald exclaimed.

“What? You’re coming here?” Kim asked.

She looked up when she heard the sound of a car approaching and saw Gerald’s car indeed. Kim could only watch as the car glided to a stop in front of her and Gerald came out. A wide grin spread across his face and his eyes visibly lighted up when he flashed his special smile meant only for her.

Kim found herself smiling broadly in return. Her heart was leaping inside her and she was giddy with excitement and thrill just looking at him. Lord, how could he be so magnificently handsome? Though she had been looking at him almost every day for the past three years, he never failed to make her heart go aflutter especially when he would give her that special look and special smile meant only for her.

“Kim!” Gerald called out to her. Then he walked towards her, leaned down and kissed her on the cheek. “Baby, I miss you so much,” Gerald whispered into her ear after kissing her.

“Bakit ka nandito?” Kim asked Gerald after he greeted the staff and crew and some of their fellow cast who had seen him.

“Sinusundo kita. I could not wait for several more hours anymore to see you.” Gerald answered in a low voice meant only for her to hear.

“Nandito na ang sasakyan Kim,” Ate Tata exclaimed from beside her. She reached for the suitcases but Gerald beat her to it. He loaded it into the van as Kim’s driver helped him too.

“Sa akin na po sasama si Kim. Kita na lang tayo mamaya sa bahay nya,” Gerald informed them.

“Kelan ko sinabi na sa iyo ako sasama? Tinanong mo ba ako?” Kim asked with raised eyebrows.

“No I’m did not ask you because I’m demanding that you go with me whether you like it or not,” Gerald replied with a grin at her. “At isa pa, sabi mo miss mo ako, kaya I know you also wanted to go with me.”

“Hindi ka naman masyadong confident no?” Kim asked but she was not able to hold back her laughter anymore. She giggled and went towards Gerald’s vehicle.

Gerald opened the door for her and assisted her up the car before he went inside. Then he instructed his driver to go to Kim’s house.

Kim could not stop her mouth from smiling and she gave into the it as she settled herself in the seat. Happiness was spreading all throughout her body and she felt like in heaven at the moment as she sat beside Gerald. When earlier she felt exhausted, now she was energized. She got lost in thought thinking about what they should do later when Kim suddenly yelped in surprise. Gerald grabbed her without any warning and deposited her on his lap.

“Gerald!” Kim exclaimed. “What do you think you’re doing?”

“Just keeping you so close to me. I miss you so much,” Gerald said gruffly and then he leaned and planted a sound kiss on her cheek. He enclosed her in his arms and pulled Kim towards him and kissed her on the other cheek again.

“Nakakagigil ka talaga, baby,” Gerald uttered and then tightened his arms around her. Then he pulled her face again and kissed her on the cheek again and again. Kim squinted when Gerald kept on kissing her but she just sighed in contentment and let Gerald have his fill of her.

“Ikaw din,” Kim whispered to his ear and then planted a kiss on his cheek too.

“You smell so good,” Gerald whispered as he nuzzled Kim on the neck.

Kim giggled. “Huwag…please, nakikiliti ako!” She begged.

Then Gerald turned her face towards her and just looked at her intently. “Ang ganda ganda mo talaga.” Then he tipped her head and kissed her on the temple this time.

“I’ve been so blessed to have found you,” Gerald whispered as he laid her head against his chest and played with her hair.
With Kim ensconced in Gerald’s lap, the two of them whispered sweet nothings to each other all throughout the ride from the location towards Kim’s house. An occasional giggle punctuated their fervent whisperings.

“Nandito na pala tayo,” Kim exclaimed when the car rolled to a stop some time later and realized they were already outside her house.

CHAPTER 2 TO FOLLOW:

Tayong Dalawa Observation: Getting fast-paced again - and MORE KIM AND GERALD Hallelujah!

The past few weeks, all I see in Tayong Dalawa was Dave, Dave and Dave. And when the preview last week showed that Dave will be revealed as JR's missing twin, I got despaired along with some fellow Kimerald fans that it is going to be All About Dave again.

However, I was surprised when I watched todays (May 4) episode that there are a lot of KG scenes - and without Dave for a change. For the first time in a long while, I watched TD without getting into a bad mood.

Thank you TD writers and directors, for at least listening to our complaints. Now i can say that Kim and Gerald are back to being lead roles again. And let me just say, Gerald is sooo good at today's episode. His expression while he and Dave are pointing guns at each other - bravo! And Kim was fantastic as usual!

And TD is back to being fast-paced again thank GOD! Just like I said in my previous post, TD has dragged when everyone's universe centered on Dave. Now, at least, they are showing that JR is also affected with the knowledge that Dave is his twin brother, and he was also given 'quality' scenes. I hope TD it would continue like that till the end - equal exposure for KG and better lines and dialogues for them.

I guess, Kimerald fans prevailed once again huh? :D I was reminded of a post in PEx where someone said that ABS was hurt by the comments and feedbacks they are getting from Kimerald fans in the emails and maybe TD thread.

It was hilarious for me because I never thought ABS would be that sensitive towards the fans reaction. In their business, they should be immune to the negative criticisms and even hurtful words thrown their way by people who hate them.

But then again, it made me think that they never thought to receive such feedbacks and reactions from the people who support their stars and shows maybe. Maybe, this is also the first time they have encountered such loyal, dedicated, steadfast and united fans who are not afraid to fight and defend their idols - Kim and Gerald.

I admit this is the first time ever in my life that i have been crazy over stars - and was very much affected when it comes to them! This is the first time I emailed like crazy and argue with people who put them down. And I know I am not the only one who feels this way towards them.

Kim and Gerald brought out the fighter side of me, the protective and defensive side.

Tayong Dalawa Woes: Why Everyone's universe is solely centered on Dave?

When Tayong Dalawa started, I was confident that the story would not drag even if it would last for 6-7 months because of the numerous cast and the three main lead stars of the series.

The show progressed so extremely well because the story was fast-paced and the acting were all great. Everyday an unexpected twist were sprung to the viewers, keeping me, as a viewer at the edge of my seat and looking forward to the next episode.

This went on for a long while until a month ago maybe, when Dave came back from the dead. Tayong Dalawa became All About Dave already.

Everyone wanted JR to give up Audrey because Dave would lose his mind if he would be put to severe stress (or in short, if he would not get his want :D). Audrey was coerced by her father to marry Dave and even went to the extreme by kidnapping his own son to hold it over Audrey.

The demented Ingrid and the insane Elizabeth were all hell-bent in mollycoddling Dave. It did not matter to them that other people are miserable as long as Dave gets what he wants. The crazy mother and daughter even pressured Stanley and Lily to make sure Audrey would agree to marry Dave.

Even Marlene also sided with the selfish Garcia family and wanted JR to give up Audrey too. What the hell! She is supposed to side with her beloved son!

It was so exasperating and so annoying and so irritating that if it was not for Gerald and Kim, I would have given up watching the stupid story line a long time ago. Everything is about Dave, Dave, Dave...BULLSHIT!

Kim and Gerald are the main reason why I watched Tayong Dalawa in the first place. For two months, I persevered watching Audrey with Dave. I winced each time they have a supposedly sweet scene because I could see the uneasiness in Kim and the always-angry expression in Jake's expression.

After that dragging Dave-would-get-crazy-let's-give-him-what-he-wants drama, he was instantly cured because his Mamita broke down in front of him. That was so full of shheeett! Then he was back to work and the case JR was working on was given to him. And the main reason the writers did it was so Dave could interrogate Olivia and lose his head again. Another reason to showcase Jake's supposed best acting Hahahahahahahahahahaha!

And then what happened next? Dave again, losing his head during their military exercise. So naturally, he was put on court marshall and he was dismissed from the military. He wallowed in self-pity and refused to take responsibility to his action. He blamed JR once again. And the whole JR-stole-everything-from-me-especially-Audrey-I-could-not-forgive-him-i-could-kill-him dialogue was recited by Dave again. Yeah, yeah, yeah, you've been whining about it for years, why don't you do it for a change?

And now, that he was the missing twin, the story centers on him again. JR was looking for him, Marlene and Lola Gets wanted to make up to him, Elizabeth would keep him to themselves...everyone's world revolved around him once again. One after the other, all the things and problems of everyone centered around Dave and DAve alone. Hhmm...I think it would be better if Dave would be killed so that everyone's universe would continue revolving around the sun!

I have been thinking that if each character had their own problems to worry too, then the whole story should not center on Dave alone and therefore would not be annoying and irritating to those of us who wanted to watch Kim and Gerald alone.

For example, Marlene and Ingrid should concentrate on fighting over David's properties and leave Dave alone for goodness sake!! But no, the writers (or someone above them) had made sure that every thing happening on Tayong Dalawa should be centered on Dave alone.

JR and Audrey should spent time working on their relationship and stop thinking and worrying about Dave every minute of every day! They should also have a conflict of their own - a conflict that does not include Dave so that for once, they would have equal exposure. We were told we would be seeing a mature Kim and Gerald here, so enough of those cutesy scenes please. We wanted Kim and Gerald give as much as the veterans in the show.

Audrey, most of all, should be developed into someone strong and successful. Heck, ABS-CBN, you are promoting Women Empowerment on TFC, the best way to do that campaign is to start with the women characters - especially the lead characters - in your soaps.

I dont think there was any hope for TD to change the story at all. I think I, and the rest of the Kimerald fans, would just persevere in watching TD for Kim and Gerald's sake. But a little ray of hope inside of me wanted the writers in TD to stop making Dave as the center of the everyone's universe in TD because it is getting on my nerves, it is annoying, irritating, it is driving me insane too.
