Maureen: A-ah.

He suddenly hug me.

Maureen: G-Gab.

Gabriel: I missed you.

Maureen: I-I missed you.

Gabriel: Stop crying. Be happy with him okay? You don't deserve me, Sam. Gago 'ko, ginago kita. Sinaktan or should I say sinasaktan. You deserve him, not me, okay? Stop crying. Sana na lang anak ko si Kendra para may dahilan pa 'ko mabuhay. Hahaha sayo na umikot mundo ko eh tapos biglang nawala ka. But ayos lang, nakikita naman kitang masaya. Ayos na 'ko doon.

Maureen: G-Gab.

Gabriel: Sige na, mag cr na 'ko sa taas.

Maureen: Gab.

He walk out of the bathroom without looking back to me.

Lucas: Babe, are you okay pa? Uwi na tayo?

Maureen: I wanna sleep here. Umuwi ka if you want.

Penelope: Patay. Hindi mo mauuwi 'yan Lucas.

Maureen: I wanna sleep here.

Penelope: See? Hangga't inuulit niya hindi 'yan titigil. Bukas mo na sunduin.

Lucas: Huh? E-eh—

Gabriel: Hindi ko gagalawin promise. Sa room ako dito siya sa guest room. Kung ikaw wala kang tiwala sakin siya meron.

Lucas: Siguraduhin mo lang, susunduin ko rin 'yan mamayang 8.

Gabriel: Yes.

Lasing who? Ulol.

8AM? So hindi kami makakapag usap ng maayos ni Gabriel?

I knock at his door and I saw him only wearing boxer shorts.

Maureen: Missed you, puge.

Gabriel: A-ah G-Gab.

Maureen: Big ah? Hindi naman ako lasing. I just wanna sleep lang here.

Gabriel: Style mo eh. Nahalata na kita kanina.

Maureen: Hahaha but really, I just want us to talk.

Gabriel: About? Sorry naka boxer lang ako, wait mag pajama muna 'ko.

Maureen: That's okay you don't need to. Parang hindi pa naman kita nakitang naka ganyan? Naka cycling nga lang ako before 'di ba? Anyways I wanna talk about Kendra? If okay lang sayo.

Gabriel: Okay lang naman. Gusto mo malinawan, tama ba?

Maureen: O-oo. Parang ganun nga.

Gabriel: Pag inexplain ko ba sayo may mapapala pa 'ko?

Maureen: Medyo. Need ko muna explanation mo then I'll tell you something.
