Jachin
Hintayin kita. Nakapark lang ako dito sa tapat ng building mo. 
Mila
Katatapos pa lang ng class ko.
Mila
Thank you for waiting!!!
Jachin
Always.
Mila
I know hindi tayo masyadong nakapag-usap kanina so maybe we can talk later?
Jachin
Oo naman. Di na ako tatakas sayo, promise.
Mila
Good. I cried last night because you didn't reply to my message.
Jachin
Sorry
Mila
It's okay.
Mila
Going out na. I can see your car

[DIALOGUE]
< JACHIN'S CAR. EVENING. >
Jach and Mila sat quietly inside the former's car for a few seconds, both anticipating of what the other would say.
Jachin
I'm sor—
Mila
I underst—
Bahagyang natawa si Jachin nang magsabay sila.
Jachin
I'm sorry for not replying. Kailangan kong mag-isip para mas maayos 'yong masasagot ko sa 'yo.
Mila
I understand that.
Jachin
I just couldn't wrap my head around. . . the fact na ikaw ang unang nagtanong sa akin this time.
Jachin
Feeling ko ginagago ako ng tadhana. For years, I've waited for you to look at me differently. 
Jachin
And then biglang gano'n. I started questioning whether you were genuine. 
Mila
I'm sorry—I'm sorry it took so long.
Jachin
It's not your fault, Mila. I told you 'di ba? It will always be your decision.
Jachin
Evie made me realize that.
Mila
Realize what?
Jachin
Wala akong dapat ikatakot kasi ikaw 'yan. Someone I've liked and known for a long time already.
Jachin could feel Mila's eyes on him while he was driving.
Jachin
And that hindi mo 'ko sasaktan. . . at least not intentionally. 
Mila
You have so much faith in me.
Inabot ni Mila ang kamay ni Jachin at pinagsalikop ang mga daliri nila.
Jachin
Wow. . . ganito pala feeling na maka-holding hands ka.
Mila laughed at his antics.
Mila
I'll always hold your hand from now on.
Jachin
Pero, saan mo ba gusto mag-date?
Mila
Anywhere? I mean, I don't know. . .
Jachin
Tignan mo 'to, nag-aaya tapos 'di pala alam saan.
Mila
Hey! Sabing bigla lang, eh.
Jachin
How about Antipolo? Nakikita ko pinopost mo sa FB 'yon eh. Gusto mong mag cafe crawl?
Mila
I want to, yes. Pero you might get bored. Iinom lang tayo ng kape. Nothing really exciting.
Jachin
I won't, I promise. Mas gusto kong mag enjoy ka at kung saan mo gusto pumunta.
Mila
Okay, then.
Jachin smiled and gently pulled their hands that was still locked together, to kiss the back of Mila's hand.
