Andy
Nakalimutan ko lang po magsabi
I'm just a bit lonely here that's why I asked him if he could stay over kasi palagi na lang ako mag isa dito sa bahay

Andy
It's too quiet
I don't have anyone to talk to
Nasakto lang din na VL niya

Mom
You need someone to talk to? Aren't you
reviewing for the bar? Why do you need someone to talk to? Pano ka makakaconcentrate dyan?

Mom
Kaya siguro ang baba ng mga assessment mo because you have too many distractions? Pauwiin mo na yang bisita mo

Mom
And next time do not forget to ask for permission kapag may dadalhin kang bisita sa bahay

Andy
Okay, I'm sorry I forgot to ask, that was my fault. But I need also need some company. Ang suffocating kung libro ko lang palagi kong tititigan

Mom
And your cousin's just at the other house
You can study with him

Andy
I don't like his company

Mom
At least Kenzo can contribute something kapag hirap ka na sa subjects mo

Mom
Clearly magkalayo rin kayo ng field ni Klein

Andy
And I still prefer his company. He gave me advice kung pano ko mababalance studies ko without burning out.

Andy
Hindi naman kami same ni Kenzo ng study habits. His methods doesn't work for me

Mom
You're not trying enough
Ang dami dami mong distractions

Mom
Pauwiin mo na bisita mo

Andy
Okay
But I don't want to stay here if ever
Maiiwan na naman ako mag isa
Wala naman kayo ni dad

Mom
Adrianna?
Since when are you so dependent on other people?

Andy
Mom I'm always alone here
Gusto ko lang naman ng company
Hindi naman ako nagdedepend sa iba

Andy
Wala akong makausap dito unless magsasalita yung pader. Ayaw mo kami dito sa bahay so I'll find another place tapos bawal pa rin?

Mom
Fine!
Make sure na mataas assessment mo tomorrow

Mom
Kapag hindi, pauwiin mo bisita mo

Andy
Okay

Sure ba na okay lang na do'n pa rin ako sa bahay ninyo? Baka magalit mama mo.

Yup, it's fine. We have a deal naman.

Na dapat mataas ako sa assessment tomorrow.

KLEIN
Ah . . . edi mag-aaral ka ulit mamaya? Hanggang anong oras?

ANDY
Until 11:30. Pa-help ulit sa codal boosters.

KLEIN
Sige. 20 cards 'no?

ANDY
Tapos applicable pa rin 'yong rewards ko, ha?

KLEIN
Oo naman.

ANDY
Okay.

KLEIN
May gusto ka bang snacks?

ANDY
Daan na lang tayo sa convenience store.

Sige.

ANDY
Tapos ano . . .

Andy leaned in to kiss him on the cheek.

ANDY

KLEIN
Para sa'n 'yon?

ANDY
Nothing. I'm just happy today.
