Phillip:
Come on
Talk to me, Maku
Lumabas ka naman
I'm sorry if I ever did anything to make you feel that way
I want to apologize, but how would I when I don't even know what I did wrong?
Nagmumukha akong tanga
Everyone kept on blaming me for something I didn't do
Ano ba talaga ang ginawa ko?
Was I unfaithful to you?
Did you find out something from my past?
What was it?
Just tell me

Maku:
I'm sorry, Phillip.
But we're done

Phillip:
So ganoon na lang 'yon, Maku?
Biglang wala na lang kapag gusto mo?
Kapag sinabi mo?
Come on, Maku
We're in a relationship
You don't get to decide whether we end it or not
It should be decided by the both of us

Maku:
I'm done with this relationship

Phillip:
But why?
What did I do wrong?

Maku:
You want something I can never give you

Phillip:
Then you should tell me what it is
And we'll talk about it
And I'll try my best to understand
Because that's how it works, right?
You try to understand your partner
Not like this..

Maku:
I'm young
I just got out of college, of medschool
I don't want to settle yet
And not anytime soon

Phillip:
Is that it?
Because of your career?

Maku:
This is my dream!

Phillip:
God, Maku
I know!

Maku:
What do you know about dreams?
You don't even have one, so I don't really expect you to understand where I'm coming from.

Phillip:
Then why the hell did you say yes?!

Maku:
Because you were in the moment
And I was caught in that moment too
Do you think it was easy for me to say yes?
I didn't know what to do!
I didn't know how to turn you down

Phillip:
Tangina naman, Maku
Sana una pa lang sinabi mo na
Hindi 'yung ganito
I looked like a fool
Ako lang pala may gusto nito
And all this time I thought you wanted this too

Maku:
That's why I'll take all the blame
I'll tell them I was the one who called it off

Phillip:
And what?
Make everyone pity me?
Don't need it, but thanks for your consideration :)

Maku:
I know you hate me right now
But you'll hate me even more in the future if this relationship continued
Because clearly, we have different dreams

Phillip:
My dream was marrying you, Maku
And building a family with you

Maku:
I may be included in your dreams
But you're just not on mine...
I'm sorry

Phillip:
What the hell can your sorry do?

Maku:
Nothing
You'll thank me someday for doing this
Thank you for everything, Phillip.
I was really happy with you.
