V ♡ is calling . . .

Karyl
Are the only thing that
matters to your is your work?

Nakailang bisita na ako
sa clubs, naka-ilang window
shopping na ako sa malls,
ebidensiyang mas pinaglilingkuran
mo nga ang trabaho mo
kaysa sa pinangakuan mo

Priel Vacarr
Karyl we made a deal

I'll resign after you graduate.

Your father has shackled
me in chains.

It's true.

I felt as though I
were married to my job.

Let me first please your father,
and then I'll meet
with him as his son in law.

Karyl
Can't you give me a minute
or an hour of your time
even if you're still working for him?

Priel Vacarr
I'm sorry Karyl

My job is dangerous.

I won't be able to meet you
since meeting someone
when I'm investigating
indicates danger.

I'm not worried about myself
I'm scared about how my
clients will react if they
find out about you.

Ipapabasa ko sa'yo 'yung
by-laws namin para alam
mong wala akong itinatago sa'yo.

It's not favorable to give it
to anyone but I trust you.
With all my life.

Karyl
Minsan kasi, ilang buwan
kang walang paramdam.

Alam mo bang nag-aalala
rin ako ha?! Hindi lang ikaw
ang may malambot na puso
sa relasyon nating dalawa.

Puro ako club, salita at
walang gawa, pero putangina mo Priel,
hindi ako matigil sa pag-iyak
'pag naalala kong merong tayo.

Priel
Bakit hindi mo ako tawagan?

Karyl
Aba malay ko?! Baka hindi
rin pwede sa trabaho mo!!

Narinig ko si Dad noon isang araw.
Nag-update ka sa kanya.

Buti pa siya!

Naririnig niya ang boses mo
'pag tumatawag siya!

Hindi mo man lang ako inisip!?

Priel
I'm thinking about you, Karyl.

I can't articulate how I feel,
but know that everytime
I'm assigned to monitor you
and report to your Dad,
even for a second,
my eyes and body crave for you.

Alam kong mas naging mahirap
sumama sa'yo dahil malapit
ng matapos ang kontrata
namin ng agency namin
at ng Dad mo.

Pahirap ng pahirap ding
hindi ka manmannan kasi
'yun lang ang paraan
para masabi kong ligtas ka.

Karyl
Pinapaiyak mo
nanaman ako hayop ka

Priel
Do you want to end it?

Karyl
I don't want to end it.

Bakit? Sinasabi ko lang
naman ang mga gusto kong
sabihin sa'yo ah.

Priel
Pinaiyak nanaman kita

Karyl
Isa lang naman ang gusto
kong iparating. Sana sabihin
mo sa akin ng mas malinaw
kung anong hindi pwede
at ang dapat kong gawin.

I'm not giving up.

Hindi kita hihiwalayan at lalayuan.

Priel
Did I say that silly.
Calm down, Karyl.

Karyl
I'm sorry I talked too much

Priel
You deserve it as well,
and I deserve everything
you're upset about.

Ibato mo lang sa akin,
iintindihin kita.

Kung hindi natin maintindihan
ang bawat isa, ayusin natin.

Hindi paglayo ang sagot ng
hindi pagkakaintindihan.
