"I told you, you and Aius movie hit the best selling tickets. Girl, I can now see you at the top." manager Rubie whispered softly to me when he saw the shock on my face.

"I ... I ... I didn't expect this, I mean..yeah manager Rubie, I know a lot of people want to watch and a lot of people also buy tickets for our movie with Aius, but I didn't think it was like this It's a lot. " I stuttered, couldn't believe it and cried while looking at the sea of ​​people who were here inside the cinema to watch Aius and me's movie. There were really too many people, to the point that some were already sitting in monoblock chairs, and some were already standing.

"Don't you want it? It only means that you and Aius did a very good job, Sariel. Especially for a beginner like you. Who would have thought, right?" Manager Rubie said with a wide smile plaster on his face.

"I'm so happy for you, ate." said by my secretary.

I turned to them in tears, and there I saw their happiness. I looked at the sea of ​​people again and this time I couldn't hold back my tears without a trace from my eyes.

I looked again at Manager Rubie's behavior because they were drawing me and then they would giggle at my secretary as if they were thrilled.

And the moment I turn my face on their direction, my eyes immediately met Aius deep eyes. I cried even more, my tears poured out of my eyes nonstop. A small sob escape from my lips, until it get louder and louder.

Damn, I miss my boyfriend so bad. It's been more than a month since I last saw him, and I admit something has changed in him. He looks more mascular and handsome. I just keep crying in my palms, I don't know, why I am crying like a baby. I'm supposed to be happy because finally after a month of being away from him I can now see him, hug him, kiss him, right? But why the heck I am crying?

Tears of joy. My mind says.

"Hmm..stop crying Sariel, the movie is about to start. Your make up will be ruin, I know you and Aius missed each other, but this isn't the right time for you to cry, huh "You and Aius will cry later." manager Rubie said.

I just nodded, and then forced myself to stop crying.

"Shh ... stop crying, Sariel." Aius said while gently wiping my tears using a tissue paper.

I immediately looked at Aius' face as he wiped away my tears. I don't know why, but I got hurt by the way he addressed me. Why did he called me by my name? Where's his endearment? Why didn't he called me baby? Is he still mad? And his eyes ... why can't he looked straight in to my eyes? Is he still mad at me? I cried again because of the things running through my mind.

"Hey, what's wrong? Why do you keep on crying? Are you sick or something?" Aius, said. Still without looking into my eyes. He said it using a concerned tone, but there's something wrong that I feel. So I just look at him in the eyes.

A moment later he finally met my gaze, and he seems like ... shock? "Uh-ehem ... why? Is there something on my face?" He asked.

I suddenly cried again. "Hey, whats's wrong, Sariel?" Aius asked again.

"Eh, it's you !!" like a child I said while sobbing.

"What? What did I do?" Aius's words seemed fantastic.

"Why did you call me by my name, huh? Why ?!" I asked, still crying and sobbing.

"Huh? Then what should I call you if I don't call you by your name?" wrinkled when Aius asked me which made me cry even more. We're starting to get people "s attention, but I don't care, I'm hurt, and I can't stop myself from crying.

"You used to call me baby, eh! Why aren't you calling me baby, huh? Don't you love me anymore? !!" I said then I heard him chuckled a little. "And now, you're making fun of me, huh--" interrupted what I was about to say when suddenly Aius gave me a very quick kiss on the lips.

"There, baby. Will you stop crying now, hmm?" he said while grinning. Those who saw what Aius did immediately shouted, causing me to blush with a mixture of trembling and shame. Damn !!

A few more moments and I just found myself sitting next to Aius, his arm wrapped around my waist while I am leaning on his broad shoulder with a bouquet of pink roses on my lap, that he gave me earlier.

"They're so sweet, I can now hear a wedding bell." I heard a giggle from one of the spectators. I looked at their behavior, and they immediately avoided looking at me when they saw me looking at them.

"Hi." I said with a smile on my face. They immediately looked at me with widening eyes and then they squinted at each other.

"Oh my gosh! Oh my gosh! She said, Hi to us ackkkk !!"

Smiling I returned my gaze to the show, and allowed myself to focus there.

"I love you so much, baby." I whispered to Aius and then I went deeper into his neck and sniffed his scent. Damn, his smell's addicting.

"hmm .." he said softly.

"Do, you love me, baby? Huh?" I asked while still sniffing his scent.

"uh-huh" he said sparingly and then pulled me closer to the waist.

But for some reason, I am not satisfied with his answer. I can't feel the sincerity and the love. I shook my head vigorously and forced myself to remove from my mind anything that might hurt me.

Maybe, it's because of my pregnancy? I heard that pregnant woman are usually emotional. So maybe, it's just me who think negatively on Aius actions, right?

Those were the things that ran through my mind before I was swept away by drowsiness.

I just woke up when I felt as if someone was shaking me and tapping me lightly on the cheek. "Wake, up you sleepy head." and then I heard Aius soothing voice.

Slowly I opened my eyes, and it immediately met Aius eyes. "hmm .." I purred like a cat then I hugged Aius. "I'm still sleepy." I said, sleepily.

"The movie is done, baby. It's time to take pictures with our fans." Aius said then he sigh.

***

"Okay, everyone thank you for watching our movie, and for supporting us. Thank you so much!" at the same time Aius and I said then we said goodbye to those who watched the movie and then went straight into the room reserved for us.

"It's good to work with the two of you, congratulations for a very successful job well done!" Yes direct.

We even talked for a while about what we went through while the shooting of the movie was still on-going. We laugh and laugh and laugh.

Aius on the other hand is just silently looking at us, he sometimes smile. But his smiles ... it's bothering me. I know, I can clearly understand it. There's something wrong between us. It isn't my pregnancy. There's a problem between the two of us.

I sighed sadly, and along with my heavy sigh I also inhaled the smell of the roses that Aius had given me earlier.

As soon as my stomach seemed to dig in, I felt like I was going to feel nauseous. I just grabbed my mouth and quickly ran into the bathroom. I even heard our colleagues calling me, but I couldn’t care less, I badly need to vomit.

I just kept nauseous in the bathroom until I could just feel the presence of someone behind me, and by the scent of him, I already knew who he is.

"You, okay?" Aius asked me weakly as he grabbed my hair that had sprayed on my face.

"A-ah, y-yeah." I answered while stuttering.

"Are you sick?" again he asked, and I don't know, but I count on him. There is something else about him now that I can't explain.

"A-ah, n-no. I just smelled something I didn't like." I said and then looked into his eyes and forced a smile. "Let's go, maybe they're already waiting for us outside." I just said. He nodded and then helped me walk.

And somehow, it made me smile a little.

It is also true that when we approached our colleagues, we went home. We said goodbye to each other.

"Manager Rubie, Ahm..I'll go with Aius, maybe I'll stop at his house too. Thank you for today." politely I said.

"Okay, darling. See you, take a good rest, alright?" manager Rubie, said while caressing my hair. I just nod and smile at him, then I wave goodbye to them.

"Baby!" I called Aius who was coming out of the door with Direct.

They turned to me. "Wait up!" I said then walk as fast as I can.

"Ahm, let's go?" naiilang na sabi ko dahil kanina pa ako nakalapit sa nila but, they are just like statue. Standing still on their ground and looking at me.

"Why?" I asked Direct in surprise when I saw his curious look at me.

"Aius, pare. I ... I thought you two ahm—" Direct said shaking his head.

"Huh? What are you saying there directly?" Kunot when I asked.

"Pre?" but instead of answering my question, direct just look at Aius.

"We're going first, pare." Aius said coldly then he supported me slightly on the arm. His voice sent shiver down my spine.

None of my own drifted on Aius's walk. We're both silent, and it's starting to bother me big time. I know there really is something wrong. But what is it?

Is he still mad at me for our fight when I was abroad?

Although I was crying, I forced myself to calm down. I don't want to cry again. It's not good for the baby.

***

While Aius and I were in the car we both remained silent.

I'm just looking at him. The seriousness of his face, the coldness and ignorance he seemed angry. Then form his face I look down on one of his hands.

My hand seemed to have a mind of its own and I reached for his hand and then I wrapped it around it. Then I looked at him in the face. "I love you, Aius. More than anyone in this world. I love you, I love you." Emotional I say.

"Ehem!" he just quietly answered what I said and then let go of my hand and then took his cellphone.

I cried all the time, damn! The pain in the heart of this. It hurts even more when Jared and I break up!

I just face the window while letting myself cry.

"Is there ... is there ... are we in trouble, Aius?" I asked courageously.

"Huh? Nothing." Aius said.

"Why are you like that? Why are you cold to me? Is it still about our fight? I said sorry, Aius. Please ... please forgive me." I said crying, but he just ignored me.

"D – d – do you still l-l-love me?" With all my courage I managed to ask that damn painful question.

"I see ..." I said dejectedly when he didn't answer me, while my tears were incessantly dripping.

"Maybe ... maybe you're tired, right? I know you, you only do that when you're tired. Ahm, go ahead, just drop me off at a nearby hotel." crying I said.

Moments later I didn't expect him to actually stop the car in front of the hotel.

I looked at him fantastically. "What? Why did you stop?" I asked, the pain already overflowing in my heart.

"You told me you were going to a hotel, so I just followed your order." He said without looking at me.

"Huh ?! I ... I can't believe you! What's your problem Aius? Tell me please! I'm begging, I don't want us to be like this." I said tearfully but he still didn't really answer.

"Alright, I'm down. Be careful on the trip home. I love you." I said sadly and then I reached out to kiss his cheek and then I headed down the car.

"Wait." I slammed the car door shut when I heard Aius stop.

Hmm, I said it's fragile too, eh. I just said it in my mind.

I smiled as I lifted him up. My previously broken heart and feelings were revived, as if hope had sprouted in my chest.

"B-why?" Suppose I stutter a question.

"I..ahm ... want to tell you something important." he said whike looking intently in my eyes.

My heart was immediately filled with strange nervousness and excitement at what he was going to say.

"A-a-what?" I stammered a question.

"Will you..."

I seemed deaf as soon as he finished what he was going to say. My tears immediately helped. I cried so hard. I became speechless and unable to move.
