6:23 PM

Dale:
Good evening, April.
I got busy today.
How are you?
Are you still in your cousin's place?

6:49 PM

Dahlia:
Sorry for the late response, but yes.
I'm babysitting someone again.

Dale:
It's okay. You can always take your time.
I just wanted to know if you are okay.

Dahlia:
Actually
I want to say sorry for what my cousin said to you.
I'm feeling a bit guilty and ashamed about it.
I know that you just wanted to lend a hand, and thank you for that.
Though it's not that needed, especially after talking with my cousin.

Dale:
I'm all ears.

Dahlia:
I want to ask first before anything else.
How did Aster find out that you are talking to me?

Dale:
Ah. Sabi ko na nga itatanong mo 'yan.
It is actually my fault.
But promise me you won't get mad?

Dahlia:
Just tell me.

Dale:
I found out that he was trying to hit my younger sister last month until now.
So I confronted him right away.
Nagkapikunan kaming dalawa.
Kaya nagkaroon ng gulo sa pagitan namin dalawa.
Hindi ko naman alam na pakikialaman niya ang mga gamit ko.

Dahlia:
Is that the day he confronted you?

Dale:
I don't know. I don't have any idea.
I just realized it when I noticed something was missing.
After that, he confronted me about you.

7:27 PM

Dahlia:
Another question.
Do you have a cousin?

Dale:
Yes.
Si Ate Oni.
Why?
Do you want to meet her?
I can tell her.

Dahlia:
No.
Are you classmates back in high school?

Dale:
No. She's in the other section.
Why?

Dahlia:
You told me that Aster was your schoolmate, right?
Not exactly your classmate?

Dale:
Yes.
What's with these sudden questions, April?
I'm getting confused.

Dahlia:
You lied to me, Dale.
Aster was your classmate, right?
Your cousin told us that.
Tell me, what is the truth?

Dale:
Who told you that?
Where did you get that info?

Dahlia:
Okay.
I thought you were honest with me.
I'm trying not to doubt you, Dale.
Just so you know.

Dale:
I'm sorry.

Dahlia:
I really wanted to believe that you have good intentions.
Pero bakit laging may kasinungalingan na kasunod?
Maybe my cousin was right.

Dale:
Wait lang, Dahlia.
Please.
I'll explain!
