AFTER JOHN LLOYD Cruz, it’s John Prats who broke his silence this time. Pagkatapos aminin ni Lloydie na sila na ni Shaina Magdayao, lahat ng mga mata at tenga ngayon ay nakatutok kay Pratty at naghihintay sa kanyang panig at reaksiyon tungkol sa isyu. ‘Ika nga, he is the man of the hour.
He was abroad as part of Sarah Geronimo’s The Record Breaker tour when my exclusive interview with Lloydie on The Buzz was aired. Nang malaman daw niya ang balita ay hindi raw siya nasaktan at nalungkot. “Parang wala lang sa akin,” he said. But Pratty knew na hindi siya paniniwalaan ng publiko kapag sinabi niya ito because they expected him to be hurt. “Natutunan ko na kapag nagmahal ka, all out, lahat ibigay mo. That’s why siguro nandito ako ngayon dahil wala akong regret dahil lahat ibinigay ko, lahat ginawa ko,” Pratty explained.
Pratty and Shaina had been together for almost three years and they parted ways last week of November 2009. They had a fight at doon nagsimula na mag-cool off sila. They never saw each other after that.
Kinumpirma ni Pratty ang sinabi ni Lloydie na nag-usap silang dalawa. “Nag-usap kami but he explained lang na hindi siya pumasok sa relasyon namin (ni Shaina) during kami at iyon ang gusto kong paniwalaan hanggang ngayon. Ang ikinatatampo ko lang ay iyong sinasabi nila na baka nagsasalita ako ng masama against them. I never talked, never akong nagsalita, never akong nagpa-interview.” Pratty also confirmed na umalis siya sa dressing room sa ASAP kung saan ay magkasama sila ni Lloydie because he was uncomfortable.
Pratty said that he wanted to move on at hindi siya galit kay Lloydie. Hindi siya naging ipokrito when he admitted that there was a time na nagalit siya kay Lloydie. Nauunawaan ko siya dahil gaya nga ng kanyang sinabi, si Pratty ay tao lamang na nasasaktan at nagagalit din.
It is never easy to say goodbye to a loved one. What was the most painful thing about his break-up with Shaina? “Waking up in the morning tapos wala kang tinatawagan to say ‘Good morning’ and ‘I love you.’ Naging routine iyon for almost three years. Iyong mahirap eh iyong adjustment period na parang when you wake up in the morning ay blanko.”
Inisip daw niya noon na si Shaina na ang babaeng dadalhin niya sa altar. The best things that Shaina did to him ay iyong may coffee silang magkasama pagdating ni Pratty sa ASAP at iyong pagpaparamdam daw ng aktres na na-miss siya nito kahit hindi naman sila matagal na hindi nagkita. Pratty misses Shaina and her family because he shared wonderful moments with them.
Pratty had a message for Shaina, “Thank you so much for the happy moments and kung may nagawa ako na nasaktan kita, I’m sorry. Kung puwede mo lang ibalik lahat but now that everything is ganito, na lahat tayo nakapag-move on na, let’s just hope for the friendship.”
Masaya raw si Pratty ngayon at iyon ang mahalaga. I’m sure there will come a time na muling sasayaw ang puso ng Prince of Dance and Dancefloor Dynamite because someone will make him smile again. But for now, he’s enjoying his single life.
Kaibigan, usap tayo muli!
