Hendrix's:

"Iaabot ko" *I see red playing in the background* "Jacob patayin mo nga yung tugtog!"

*Speaker Volume lowers*

"Violet." *Silent sobs in the background* "My phone broke." *Violet cries*

"O, kakausapin ka daw"

"Is that Dada?" *Sobs*

"Just talk"

"Hello?" *Sobs* "I'm busy right now" *Sobs* "VioletFord@gmail.com is my email." *sobs* "You can message there, okay?"

Archer's:

"Violet." *Clears his throat* "I'm sorry-"

Hendrix's:

"This is?" *Apocalypse playing in the background* "Jacob, can you lower the volume please?!"

*Sobs* "Sorry. Who's this again?"

Archer's:
"Archer."


Hendrix's:
*Silence* "Archer?"

Archer's:
"Yea. Can you go somewhere
silent, please?"

Hendrix's:
"But I can't stand." *grunts as she tries to stand* *cries* "Hendrix left me! I can't stand!"

Archer's:
*breathes* "Okay, dyan ka nalang."

Hendrix's:
"But I wanna get married"

Archer's:
*clicks his tongue* "You're so drunk."

Hendrix's:
"It's a party! What are you expecting?" *Sniffs* "My phone broke." *Silent cries* "And it's because of you. I shouldn't be talking to you, magagalit sila."

Archer's:
"Sila?"

Hendrix's:
"Girls. Palagi daw ako umiiyak dahil sayo." *silence* *whispers* "Kaya I never spoke about you again after that. Baka maging ayaw nila sayo. I just kept you in my mind the whole time. Dapat nga magmomove-one na ako eh. May mga nag-try na manligaw tapos may nga marriage proposal in paper din, hindi ko naman tinanggap."

"Yung iba nilatagan ako ng business merging proposal, yung iba yung magulang yung lumapit sakin, some of them kilala nila Mommy personally, asking me for marriage."

"I declined of course."

*Silence* *Chuckles* "Sabi ko nga hindi pa naman ako graduate bakit may proposal na agad na ganon. Sabi nila my future is too secured daw. I don't know what's in me, gusto ko lang naman ng pagkain. Sabi ni Dada wag ko nalang daw pansinin, gawin ko daw yung gusto ko"

"Pero kino-consider ko din naman kasi. Ano, wala ka bang iooffer dyan?" *chuckles* "Nagmumuka akong desperada kapag sinasabi kong engaged na ako para makatakas sa proposal nila tapos hindi naman." *voice shakes* "Penge naman kahit assurance lang oh." *sniffs* *sobs* "Binibigyan na nga kita ng advantage eh! Ako na lumalapit sayo. Ang arte mo naman."

Archer's:
*breathes deeply* "Violet.." *silence* "We will take this slow, okay?"

Hendrix's:
"Ilang taon pa uli?"

Archer's:
"That's not what I mean. I will court you and you'll think about this again."

Hendrix's:
"Anong rethink? Sure na nga eh! Ang dami mo namang requirements!"

Archer's:
"And you want marriage?"

Hendrix's:
"I want.." *pause* *breathes* "I don't know but I want you...I'm sure of that."

Archer's:
"That's what I thought. Liligawan na nga kita. Matulog ka na muna."

Hendrix's:
"Parang obligado ka ah?"

Archer's:
"Slight" *chuckles* "Lakad na, matulog ka na."

Hendrix's:
"Hindi nga ako makatayo, lakad pa kaya."

Archers's:
"Tawagin mo na si Hendrix. Call for help, cmon, I need sleep too."

Hendrix's:
"Hindi ka ba talaga sweet? Ang sungit mo parang ako yung manliligaw ah"

Archer's:
"May lagnat ako, dapat tulog na ako pero kinakausap pa kita. Uuwi lang din ako para sayo. Anong sweet pa ba hinahanap mo?"

Hendrix's:
"Para sayo lang yan kasi gusto mo ko
makita tapos gusto mo marinig boses ko."

Archer's:
"O narinig ko na. Pwede ko na ba ibaba?" *mocks* "Itulog mo yan. Paggising mo sa umaga baka tulog pa ako dito, wag ka tatawag ha"

Hendrix's:
"Bwiset. Welcome back sakin ha, maka-asta ka parang hindi ko din naman dinitch flight ko kasi kinakabahan ako makita ka! Tapos wala ka din naman pala sa pilipinas. Hindi biro mga pinagdaanan ko dahil sayo kaya wag kang mayabang!"

Archer's:

"Miss.." *breathes* "Babawi ako pag-uwi. Kailangan ko na talaga ibaba. Baka kapag kinumbulsyon ako dito, lalo akong hindi makapagpakita sayo." *chuckles* "Goodnight, Violet. Welcome back."
