DIALOGUE

< SMC, 4th Fl., ACSDC,
ALDRINE'S OFFICE — 4:45 PM >


Miya
Aldrine . . .




Miya
Aldrine, s-si Chi . . . ?

Is she okay?




Miya
Na-check mo na ba siya? A-Ano'ng masakit sa kaniya?


Aldrine rests weakly against the edge of his office table, arms crossed and head bowed.


Aldrine
Yes, I had already checked on her.

Miya
Anong—


Aldrine turns to face Miya, his eyes are tinge with red.


Aldrine
Miya, bakit mo ginagawa sa 'kin to—

Miya
Aldrine, please—

Aldrine
Anak ko si Chi.

Miya
Y-Yes—

Aldrine
Yes? And you didn't tell me about her?!

Tatlong taon akong walang kaalam-alam, Miya. Bakit . . .




Aldrine (breathes heavily)
Bakit naman gano'n?


Aldrine straightens up and moves closer to Miya.


Aldrine
How many ways are you going to be unfair to me?




Miya
Stop telling me I'm being unfair when the first person I thought of when I found out I was pregnant was you!


Miya immediately wipes her cheeks, but to no avail; fresh tears fall down her face.


Miya
Aldrine, nagpadala ako ng mga sulat sa 'yo.




Aldrine
Sulat?
