NASAN KAYO????
BAKIT KAYO UMALIS????

Rylan
Umuwi na.

Antonia
Omg omg omg omg!!!
You're continuing what went down at the party? 😝

Rylan
What?

Antonia
The kiss!
You and your wife kissed in front of everyone!
I can't believe it 🤤

Rylan
Stop using those emojis.
And no, we didn't prolong it.
It was just something Mama forced us to do.

Antonia
Oh you didn't like it

Rylan
I never said that.

Antonia
Wala wala, ang aga niyong umuwi
The party hasn't ended yet, so just say you're excited to continue it at home
Para maka-score ka 🥵

Rylan
Ate, you're getting a bit strange, you know that?
We left early because she wanted to go home. Not being much of a party enjoyer.
She's an introvert.

Antonia
Oh okay
Sorry
I hope she's recharged now.

Rylan
She is.

Antonia
I love the matchy outfits, by the way
Ang linis at ganda niyong tingnan kanina
Yellow suits both of you, it's invigorating and lively

Antonia
But I thought you weren't a fan of bright colors?
Especially yellow

Rylan
She's a fan of it.
It's her favorite color.

Antonia
So you're fine with wearing colors you don't like just because it's her favorite?

Rylan
Yes.
Whatever my wife wants.

Antonia

Are you resting now?
Have you gone to bed yet?

Rach
oo, nagpapahinga na
nakahiga na rin ako
sumakit lang talaga ulo ko kanina sa dami ng bisita nila Ate Ton

Rylan
I'm relieved to hear that.
Thank you for sharing to me what you were feeling earlier.

Rach
wala yon
s'yempre asawa kita
and sinabi mo rin na
sabihin ko sayo lahat ng gusto kong sabihin pati ang nararamdaman ko
makipag-communicate ganon

Rylan
Yes, that's right.

Rach
sorry pala kanina
hinalikan kita without your consent
wala kasi akong nagawa
nakakahiyang tanggihan si Mama Weng
baka isipin niyang mailap pa tayo sa isa't isa
pati na rin yung mga bisita baka makahalata

Rylan
You didn't like it?

Rach
hindi
kasi napilitan ka

Rylan
Hindi ako napilitan, Rach.

Rach
pero akala ko hindi mo nagustuhan

Rylan
I liked it.

Rach
weh?
totoo?

Rylan
Malambot

Rach
ang?

Rylan
Labi mo

Rach
ikaw first kiss ko
kaya siguro malambot pa to

Rylan
Lalambot pa yan.

Rach
paano?

Rylan
Papunta na.

Rach
hoyyy
tekaaaa lang
nakahiga nako
matutulog na niyan ako
ano bang gagawin mo?

Rylan
I want my goodnight kiss.
