By the time this DIvalicious column
sees print, it has been two days since the metro-wide community quarantine and
curfew is in effect and my prayer is that, we don’t get used to this kind of situation. Our God is more powerful than this veerus (the
manner in which the President pronounces the word) and let us all pray that an
antidote, cure or vaccine comes to fore and that it will be mass produced,
sold not only in a reasonable but an abot-kaya
presyo and things will be back sooner than soon.
Now that all are following the community
quarantine directive, lahat tayo apektado kaya mas mabuting ingatan ang mga
sarili para hindi na magkanda-letse-letse pa ang buhay nating lahat.
Sa ngayon, aliwin ko muna ang sarili
sa pagbabalik ng “On The Wings of Love” sa telebisyon, ang drama seryeng
nagpasikat in a major, major way sa tambalang James Reid at Nadine Lustre na.
I think why most people were hooked sa
JaDIne kasi hindi sila as saccharine nina Daniel Padilla at Kathryn Bernardo.
Mas lalong hindi sila orchestrated o manufactured like the phenomenal love team
that was, ang AlDub, na binubuo nina Alden Richards at Maine Mendoza. At mas
lalong hindi sila parang ang LizQuen, sina Liza Soberano at Enrique Gil,
nakakabusog at nakakabundat sa mata, pero wala namang sustansya.
Sina James at Nadine kasi, parang they
were never faking it. Noong magkalove-team sila, talagang love team lang. When they
became lovers, hindi nagsinungaling. At nung maghiwalay na, nagpakatotoo rin,
agad-agad.
Marami nga ang naguguluhan kung bakit
kahit nga hiwalay na sila, may mga sighting
pa rin silang magkasama. Ang
paliwanag ni Reid tungkol dito: “She
was my best friend before anything else.”
Iyong totoo at walang halong kiyeme latik,
pwede ba talaga na ang dating magkasintahan, pagkatapos ng much publicized and
scrutinized na relasyon, ang bilis-bilis na maging platonic at balikan ang
pagiging mag-best friends?
Here, there and every where na
nasisilayan ang JaDine na casually hanging out, talking, having dinner with their
posse, going out of town and country, na parang no break-up ever happened?

Oblivious and drama nila, wa pakels sa mga
opinion ng iba kasi nga they have a solid friendship to begin with and that
kind of bond cannot be broken?
Again, again, yung totoong-totoo, walang
moment of awkwardness? Hindi nabwisit o may galit na naramdaman para sa isa’t-isa?
Naka-rise above at hindi lang moving on, moving forward na parang fast and
furious lamang sa how they were feeling and what do they mean to each other?
Iba talaga ang JaDine, how cosmopolitan
and sophisticated at super emotionally healthy and mature, huh. Ang dami-daming showbiz couples before na
naging mag-best friends muna bago naging mag-dyowa, yung iba nga ikinasal pa
pero hindi parang instant pansit canton at three-in-one coffee na nagkasundo,
nagkabati, nagsama sa iisang lugar at umarte na parang walang hiwalayang
nangyari, huh.
Panalo maging best friend itong James.
Mula sa masarap na masarap na pakikipag-relasyon tapos pag hiwalay na, hang out
pa rin kasi nga friends forever kayo.
Hmmmm.
Well, kung noon eh pinasikat ni Gabriel
Garcia Marquez ang “Love In the Time of Cholera,” maaring itong sina James Reid
at Nadine Lustre, ang gusto namang ipauso eh “Love In the Time of Corona
Veerus,” hindi ba naman?
Hayaan na natin sila sa kanilang bolahan at
lokohan o baka naman tayo ang kanilang niloloko at binobola?
