Alonzo:

Hey, Dans

Danee:

Ow?

Alonzo:

Remember when Milka broke down before the ball? Kahapon?

Danee:

Ofc! What's up with it?

Alonzo:

Milka just cried and hugged me tightly when I came. Hindi ko alam yung dahilan, pero nanginginig yung kamay niya habang inaabot yung remote ng TV.

I figured she cried because of something she saw. A show, a person, or a thing that could probably trigger her or something. I don't know. She didn't open up.

Earlier, when I brought her to an open cafe, she was really excited, pero huminto nung may nakita sa pintuan.

It's a poster.

Anong meron kay Chucel Valdivia?

Danee:

Ayaw ni Char na malaman ng iba 'yung totoo. Even the others don't know.

But...

I'm pretty sure she doesn't mind if it's you.

So I'll tell you.

Chucel Valdivia is Char's mother.

Alonzo:

What?

Danee:

Char would probably open up to you in due time. Let her tell the story.

But here's one thing I can tell you.

She left Charlotte alone for her career. The reason Char only watch international and animated films is because that's the only way she wouldn't end up seeing the former famous actress' face.

Alonzo:

Kaya ba nakatira siya mag-isa?

Danee:

Sort of. May choice naman siya since mababait naman 'yung ibang kamag-anak niya at willing silang kunin siya. But Charlotte...

She's scared to be with someone.

Alonzo:

Scared?

Danee:

Yup.

She got used to being alone.

She says she likes being alone, but I think she's just scared of attachment.

That's why I'm her only friend before the gang came. I literally just forced her to be friends with the others, you know?

I blame her mother for her fear seriously. And that guy...

But well, it's not like I can do anything.

Alonzo:

So there's nothing we can do for her?

Danee:

Meron.

Alonzo:

What is it?

Danee:

Do childish things with her.

Alonzo:

Childish things?

Danee:

Yup. She likes childish things because she wasn't able to do them when she was a child.

Either bringing her to an amusement park, or watching disney with her, or wearing unicorn hoodies, do it with her.

She'd appreciate it.

Can you do it?

Alonzo:

Of course I can.

I will.

Basta para sakanya.

Danee:

Thank you.

By the way, Alon?

Alonzo:

Yep?

Danee:

You like her, right?

Alonzo:

Milka?

Danee:

Mmhm.

Alonzo:

Oo.

Gusto ko.

Gustong gusto.
