OHM

"Alright, everyone! Thank you for today! And see you on our first day!" P' New said as he wrapped up our last meeting before we start our shoot the following week.

It has been a month since the last time I've seen Fluke, and that made me sad sometimes. I really didn't know why, but I really wanted to see him.

I just sat on my chair waiting for everyone to leave since I didn't have any schedule for the day aside from this meeting.

"Hey, Ohm! Why are you so quiet?" Sammy suddenly sat next to me.

"Nothing. I'm just tired."

She looked at me as if she didn't want to believe my reason. "Really, huh? Okaaaayy. As you say so. . ."

I just shook my head and stayed quiet.

"P' New!" Sammy called our director who was fixing his things and preparing to go. "Do you have anything to do today?"

"None. Why?" P' New said as he sat in front of us.

"Let's eat out before we head home. Is it okay?" Sammy suggested.

"Sure. I also want to buy some things for the kids."

"Yey! It's Ohm's treat."

"What?!?" I literally raised my voice because of surprised. "Are you insane? You're the one inviting us to eat out, then I would be the one to pay?"

"It's okay. You have a lot of money anyways. You should at least spend your money sometimes." She said with a wink. "Also, if you treat me and P' New, a lot of people would know that you're a good person." She said and laughed which was joined by P' New. "And. . . one more thing. . . Fluke might know that --"

She wasn't able to finish what she was about to say, for I already covered her mouth with my hand.

"Fluke. . . As in Fluke, THE author?" P' New asked, smiling. My ever loyal best friend (that's what I thought) nodded her head while trying to remove my hand. "I knew there was something about you during the script reading." He said. "So, you like Fluke?"

"" Sammy shouted as she succeeded in releasing her self from my hold.

"Sammy! I'm really going to kill you."

"It's okay, Ohm. It's just me. Fluke is my friend, and I like you as a person. I know you're good for him. So no worries."

"I'm just shy, P' New."

"Why would you be shy?" He asked. "Are you going to do something bad to Fluke? Are you going to hurt him? If yes, well, you really have to be shy to me."

"Oh no. . . I won't do anything bad to him. My intentions are good. I promise!" I said putting my hand on my chest as if to prove my sincerity.

"He's really shy, P' New. He couldn't even ask you about Fluke because you might be curious why he's asking. You know what, Phi, last time, he almost gone crazy thinking how he would see Fluke, but he didn't want to ask you about him."

I shook my head, but I just let Sammy talk.

"Pffft. . . It's fine with me if you want to ask about him. We've already worked together in some projects, so we're friends, too."

"How is he, P' New?"

"He's okay. Just writing. He's just like that. Whenever he's in the mood of writing, sometimes he just disappears out of nowhere. But the last time I messaged him about a particular part of the script, I got a reply from him. So that means, he's still alive." He said with a chuckle.

"Oi, Phi!! That's not a good joke."

"Don't worry, Ohm. He's in a safe place."

I sighed for the umpteenth time.

"You know what best friend, don't be sad anymore. You're gonna see him next time. Don't worry." Sammy said and held my hand.

"Oops!" P' New exclaimed and took his phone from the table. "Speaking of. . ." He said and showed us a message from 'Fluke'.

I smiled after reading his message. Short, but sweet.

"I wish to get one, too." I mumbled.

P' New and Sammy laughed when they heard me.

"It really hit you hard, huh?" P' New said.

"Yup. Here." I admitted and pointed to my chest.

"Okay." He just said and typed something on his phone. Then I heard a ringing sound. I looked at P' New, and he's smiling at me. He was calling someone and the phone was on speaker mode.

I gasped as I heard the voice of the person I've been longing to hear. P' New put his finger on his lips to tell me to be quiet and I just nodded.

"Hey, Fluke! Sorry if I called. I know you're busy."

"Hey, Newie! It's okay. Is there any problem with the script? Do I need to revise something?"

"Oh no! Nothing's wrong with the script. I just received your message, so I thought you're on a break, so instead of replying to your text, I just called you."

are still too stubborn to meet." He explained and laughed.

I closed my eyes as I listened to his voice. His voice was sweet and gentle.

"There's also someone who wants to hear your voice, that's why I called." P' New said and as I opened my eyes, he and Sammy were already looking at me.

"Wait. . . It's Sammy, isn't it?" He guessed. "Hey, Samantha! You know you can always call me! You're such a drama queen."

Sammy laughed, and said, "Eeeiihh! I'm shy." while putting some strands of her hair behind her ear.

"Shy? Really?"

"Nope." She said and laughed out loud. "Seriously speaking, I know you're writing, so I don't want to disturb you. You might kill me if I disturb you and your characters in the story."

"You're really crazy." He said. "I miss you both. Hope to see you soon."

"We're okay anytime. Just let us know when you are free." P' New said.

"Of course. I'll message you. You might be doing something else. I'll continue writing now."

"We just wrapped up our meeting. We're gonna eat out, someone will treat me and Sammy." P' New said, smiling at me.

"Wow. Wish someone would treat me out, too."

Sammy and P' New laughed at him. "Don't worry. He'll treat you, too. . . soon." Sammy said.

"Huh? Do I know this person?"

"Let's just say, he's your secret admirer."

"Secret admirer, your face, Samantha. I don't have any."

"It's true!" P' New said.

"Stop saying non-sense."

"You'll know soon." Sammy said.

He said and laughed.

"Okay. Take care, Fluke. Byeii!!"

I sighed after the call was dropped.

"Are you okay now?" P' New asked and I nodded. "How does it feel to hear his voice again?"

"Happy. I feel like my chest is going to explode. My heart seems like jumping inside." I said as I put my hand on my chest.

"Eh?"

"Crazy! Right, Phi? Anyways, at least now, I'm not the only one he's going to pester about Fluke. You, too." Sammy said and laughed.

"Alright! Let's go! You really have to treat us, Ohm."

"Yes, Phi. Thank you for your help!" I said as we stood up.
