“Noong una, pareho kaming nahihiya sa kanya,” says Ruru, who plays Ai Ai’s son in the story. “Kasi siempre, big star siya at kalilipat lang niya sa GMA, pero sobrang bait niya. Siya pa ang naunang lumapit sa amin ni Gabbi para kausapin kami at may pasalubong pa siya sa amin para maging close daw kami agad sa isa’t isa. Kaya ayun, naging comfortable kami agad sa kanya.”
And how does he find Gabbi as his ka-love team? “Wala akong mairereklamo kasi very talented siya at nakaka-inspire katrabaho,” he says. “Sana nga, mag-click nang husto sa viewers itong show at ang tambalan namin.”
How will Gabbi describe Ruru? “Malambing siya,” says the 16-year old Kapuso star. “Masayahin siya but I’ve also seen his serious side. Gustong-gusto niyang makatulong sa family nila.”
Both of them are unattached. Do they see themselves eventually going steady while doing the show?
“Pareho kaming enjoy sa company ng isa’t isa pero pareho rin kaming mas priority ang careers namin,” says Ruru. “Kasi nag-uumpisa pa lang kami, alangan namang unahin pa namin ang love life kaysa sa opportunity na ibinibigay sa amin ng GMA.”
But does he think Gabbi is girlfriend material? “Walang duda about that. Pero 17 pa lang ako and she’s 16, puede pa namang maghintay, di ba? Sana huwag nyo naman kamang apurahin.”
How about Gabbi, does she think Ruru is boyfriend material? “Why not, e he’s very maalaga and never siyang nag-fail na magpaka-gentleman sa akin. At saka makikita mong kahit may mga kasama siyang iba, talagang ipina-prioritize niya ako when we’re together kaya nakakatuwa. But like him, I think we’re both not ready yet for a serious relationship. Actually, ngayong tapos na ako ng high school, I really want to go to college and be a lady pilot. But I don’t know kung paano ko masisingit ang dream kong yun kasi very busy nga kami sa taping ng ‘Let the Love Begin’. Sana naman, panoorin nyo when it starts airing tonight.”
