Cristine Reyes and Derek Ramsay Love Story Bared: How Cristine Became Derek's Girlfriend
For the first time, actress Cristine Reyes openly spoke about her relationship with actor Derek Ramsay, which only became official last August 28.
At the sidelines of the Hero Ko charity basketball game on Sunday, the "Bukas Nalang Kita Mamahalin" star related to ABS-CBN News how her friendship with the Kapatid actor evolved into something special.
Cristine said the awkwardness began after she and Derek went out several times together to shop for groceries.
“Kinausap niya ako. Sabi niya, ‘Ano ito? What’s happening?’ Sabi ko,
‘I don’t know, I’m just waiting for you to ask me kung ano ang
nangyayari kasi parang hindi na normal na ginagawa ito ng magkaibigan,'’’ she said.
The actress said she did not expect Derek’s reply.
“Kinilig ako. He said na he’s in love daw with me. He just didn’t
know for two years. I think I feel the same way. Hindi rin ako aware na
may ganung feeling. Hindi naman namin ina-assume, basta sobra lang ang
pag-aalaga namin sa isa’t isa pero ang tingin namin magkaibigan lang,” she said.
Cristine said she was at a loss for words at that exact moment because she thought such things only happen in movies.
“Hindi ako makasalita kais parang hindi ko ma-imagine na umaamin siya
sa akin ng ganun kasi magkaibigan kami. Lagi ko siyang inaasar,
kinukulit. Ganun din siya sa akin. Tatawagan niya ako kung gusto niya
lang mambwisit tapos all of a sudden, [sasabihin niya] I’m in love?” she said.
Up to now, Cristine\ admitted that she still feels awkward whenever she and Derek would hold hands.
“Kaming dalawa naman aminado kami sa isa’t isa na dalawang taon
kaming magkaibigan and alam namin talagang genuine 'yung friendship
namin. Nandiyan siya, I have his back. Nandiyan din ako. It’s really,
really awkward in a good way. Hindi naming in-expect pero ramdam naming
masaya kami,” she said.
