"Sa Head and Shoulders celebrity challenge, muntik na talaga siyang malunod kasi malakas ‘yong current sa beach, malakas din ‘yong waves," narrates Alfred Vargas about LJ Reyes's drowning incident which happened recently.
He continues, "May kailangan kasing sisirin, nawalan siya ng hininga. Nakita ko, kailangan niya ng tulong. Nag-alala na ako, tsaka ‘yong adrenaline rush, na-feel ko na. Talagang nag-dive na rin ako hanggang ma-save ko siya.
"Buti na lang, thank God, walang masamang nangyari. Sobrang
grateful ako kay Lord na walang masamang nangyari at nandoon lang ako para... Number one concern ko naman ‘yong safety niya," says Alfred.
Alfred says that LJ was a bit shaken up after the incident, but was, otherwise, okay.
He elaborates, "Actually, bilib nga ako sa kanya. After noon, medyo umubo-ubo siya nang matagal. After noon, fight na ulit. Tinuloy namin ‘yong mga challenge."
Former lovebirds Alfred and LJ cooled off because they were finding it difficult to have time for each other. Although Alfred has already expressed his interest to pursue LJ again, there hasn't been any official word if they are indeed getting back together.
The almost life and death situation, Alfred says, has changed their relationship.
"Actually, after nung incident na ‘yon... Actually medyo blessing in disguise ‘yong incident na ‘yon, mukhang mas close kami ngayon. Magaan ang loob namin sa isa't isa," he explains.
He ends, "Alam mo naman, sabi nila sa ganiyang sitwasyon makikita mo kung ano talaga ang laman ng puso mo."
