Calian
Hello po, dad
I mean, tito po pala

3:04 pm

‎Tito Geo
Hahaha practicing?

Calian
Hahahaha joke lang po, tito

‎Tito Geo
So, what was the thing that you wanted
to tell me last week?  Is  this about that?

Calian
Yes po
Is it okay po if I tell you here, tito?
Tingin ko po kasi, maganda sana kung we'll
talk about this in person when we get  back
sa  Manila.  Talking about here seems  a  bit
less sincere

Tito Geo
It is if you're also less sincere
Besides, we tried to talk about this in person,
right? But Ghaliya just spawned out of nowhere

Tito Geo
Why is this so important in the first place?
Hindi naman siguro 'to tungkol sa kasal?

Calian
Tito, I know po that it may seem so early to
discuss that, but  I  still want to respectfully
broach the subject

Tito Geo
Okay
Let's hear it then

‎Calian
This conversation po, tito, is  not really about
rushing into marriage immediately. Rather, a
discussion regarding your daughter  and  her
future with me.

Calian
It  is  also to hopefully gain your approval
for  me  dating  Ghaliya  with  the  serious
intention   of   eventually   marrying   her.

Tito Geo
You know,  Calian,  I  really  like you for my
daughter. I  won't even mind if you want to
marry  her  tomorrow,  to  be  honest.

Tito Geo
Sa akin lang, I think you and Ghaliya should
talk  about  it  first  within  yourselves

Calian
We already did po a couple of times na. 😅
Just about future plans for that matter.
That's why, I'm talking  to  you now po.
To hopefully get your approval.

Tito Geo
That's good, then
Of course you have my approval

Calian
Really, tito?

Tito Geo
Yeah as I assume that the marriage is not
yet  happening  tomorrow  haha

Calian
Hindi po haha
Let's say ten years from now
Maybe after her boards

Tito Geo
Hindi pa nga nakaka-graduate, boards agad?
But okay, if you're both ready, then it's fine.
I  don't  expect naman  to  keep Ghaliya all to
myself forever. I know she'll eventually  find
someone to marry and love forever.

Tito Geo
I commend  you  for being  so  advanced,
asking for my daughter's hand this early
haha. At least I'm sure that you're serious

Calian
Haha thank you, tito
‎Just making sure po. I don't want to lose this
chance.  I  really love  your  daughter   and  I
only  see  my  future  with  her,  so  I want to
make sure that  our  relationship  is  already
secured ngayon pa lang.

‎3:47 pm

Tito Geo
I gave you my permission with the hope that
you will never hurt my daughter, hijo.

Calian
I know, tito
I promise po to never hurt her

Tito Geo
Make her happy and love her unconditionally

Calian
I will po

Tito Geo
This  doesn't  only  apply in marriage, but  if
ever you both will have a fight or argument,
don't sleep until you settle it. Don't be impulsive
in  making  decisions.   As  much  as  possible
think about it a million times before saying it.

Tito Geo
Remember  to  not  make any promises when
you're happy and don't make decisions when
you're  angry.  And  always  always  make the
communication  and   God   as  the  center  of
your relationship. Understood?

Calian
Yes po, tito
Thank  you so much po for putting your trust
in me. I  promise  to only love Ghaliya and to
make her happy. I'll also  continue  to  do  my
best to be always deserving of her love, and I
will only change for the better.

Calian
I will do everything that you said po.

Tito Geo
Dapat lang. I gave you permission, and I can
take it back if you ever hurt my daughter.

Calian
I know, tito.
Don't worry, I will make sure po, that there's
no  taking   back  that's  going  to   happen :D

Tito Geo
Okay, I believe you.

Calian
You can count on me, tito
Thank you po

‎Tito Geo
I really am counting on you.
You're welcome, son.
