Guita sobs on the phone as she talks to Adam. Hana sat outside the room, waiting for Guita to finish.

Hana enters the room to take her phone as soon as Guita ends the call. "So?" Hana asked.

Guita looks up, "He canceled."

"Huh?" Hana questions.

Guita clears her throat, "He canceled the wedding. He said it was stupid that he wanted to be with me."

"Okay," Hana contemplated, "do you wanna be with him?"

"Yes," Guita replies, "of course I do. Not now; he needs to figure out some stuff about his life before we can be a couple."

Hana nods as Mrs. Torres's voice echoes through the halls, "Where is she?! Where's my granddaughter?! Sampaguita ko."

Hana sighs, "La, in here."

Mrs. Torres burst open the door and quickly ran beside her granddaughter's hospital bed, "Ano?"

"Lola, sorry, po," Guita cries, "buntis po ako!"

Mrs. Torres looks at Hana; Hana sighs, "It's true, po. Guita's pregnant. Si Adam, po, ang father. Di po sya kinasal, La, he didn't go through with the wedding."

"Hindi mo yan ipalaglag."  Mrs. Torres warned her granddaughter.

"No, la; I will be keeping my child." Guita confessed.

"Yung ama? Does he know?"

"Opo, sinabi ko na, po."

"Good."
