Thomas is driving to Taft to see Mika and Kim.

 

THOMAS’ POV

(sighs) Today. This is the time of the year I hate the most. (sighs) You should’ve graduated. You should’ve been playing in that finals’ court. You should’ve been looking for work. No I think a lot of teams would recruit you to their team in the professional volleyball. If we just didn’t met, (tears falling down on Thomas eyes)…If we just didn’t met, you might still..still be here.

Thomas arrived and saw Mika and Kim.

 

THOMAS: Kim. Miks.

KIM and MIKA:  Thomas! (Thom kisses their cheeks)

THOMAS: Let’s go?

KIM: Tara.

They rode the car. While they're on their way…

 

MIKA: Let’s play music. Ang tahimik haha.

THOMAS: Ah wait. Here.

VJ: And here it is Vicky. Lay me Down by Sam Smith

THOMAS: (laughs) Such a great timing. (Kim and Mika looked into the window)

>>> Play song…

 ‘Yes, I do, I believe
That one day I will be where I was
Right there, right next to you

And it's hard, the days just seem so dark
The moon, the stars are nothing without you’

“THOMAS: Anything for my angel. So secret friends?

ARA: Hahaha secret friends then.”

 

’ Your touch, your skin,
Where do I begin?
No words can explain the way I’m missing you
Deny this emptiness, this hole that I’m inside
These tears, they tell their own story’

“ARA: Kung kaya ko lang Thomas matagal na kitang iniwan! Pero hindi mo alam! Wala kang alam! (umiiyak)”

‘You told me not to cry when you were gone

But the feeling’s overwhelming, it's much too strong

Can I lay by your side, next to you, you
And make sure you’re alright?
I’ll take care of you,
And I don’t want to be here if I can’t be with you tonight’

 

“ARA: Di ba gusto mong malaman? Di ba? Mahal  kita Thomas! Mahal kita! Simula pa nung high school tayo! Simula pa nung tulungan mo ko! Pero hindi mo ko mahal! Hindi mo ko mahal! (Thomas hugs Ara)

THOMAS: Mahal din kita Ara. Mahal kita.”

‘I’m reaching out to you

Can you hear my call?

This hurt that I’ve been through

I’m missing you, missing you like crazy’

“ARA: Sana ganito lang lagi. Sana walang nasasaktan. Sana lahat supportive katulad ng pamilya mo. Pero imposibe. (umiiyak) Marami na kong nasaktan. At yung patuloy kong pagtatago sa kanila alam kong mas marami pa kong masasaktan kapag nalaman nila. Sorry Thomas. Sorry kung nadamay ka. Sorry kung pati ikaw nagsisinungaling gawa ko.”

‘Can I lay by your side, next to you, you
And make sure you’re alright?
I’ll take care of you,
And I don’t want to be here if I can’t be with you tonight’

KIM: Sorry Thomas. So *sobs* rry talaga. A-ako eh kung di ko –di ko si-

MIKA: Kim (hinahaplos ang likod ni Kim) Ta-*sobs* tama na. Walang *sobs* may gus-to.

THOMAS: Tama si Mika. (tumutulo ang luha) Magagalit nyan si Sef. (fakes smile)

‘Lay me down tonight, lay me by your side
Lay me down tonight, lay me by your side’

“ARA: (umiiyak) Ano ka ba? (fakes smile) Okay lang no. O-okay lang. Una na a*sobs*ko. May puntahan pa pala ako. Si-ge. Sorry nagluluha na naman mata ko (pinupunasan ang luha) Hahaha. Ano ba namang mata to.”

‘Can I lay by your side, next to you, you

“ARA: Wala na ba talaga? Mali. Kahit ba konti hindi mo ko minahal? (napaupo) Pwe-*sobs* pwede bang a*sobs*ko na lang.”

Thomas suddenly stopped the car.

 

THOMAS: So*sobs* so-rry. Sandali lang.

Sef. Isama mo naman ako sa’yo. I can’t go on here ng wala ka. I’ve tried to be strong. God knows I tried. Pero ang hirap eh. Ang hirap ng di kita nakikita. Miss na miss na kita. Bumalik ka naman oh. Wag mo naman akong gantihan ng ganito. Come back to me Ara. Come back to us. Please Ara. Please. Eto lang yung wish ko oh. Sige na naman kahit last wish ko na to sa’yo. 

Another update coz it's a holiday! Haha.
