INT. HUT - EVENING

12:07 a.m.

Mikey
You were told on me. Sabi ni Ate Gigi hindi ka pa raw kumakain ng matinong meal ngayong araw.

Robin
Ha?

Mikey gave her a light flick on the forehead.

Mikey
You skipped meals.
Ano lang kinain mo?

Robin
Biscuit? Tubig?

Mikey
That's not a proper meal, love.

Robin
E, nakalimutan ko. Busy kasi ako dito. Kapag nahinto ako, mawawala ako sa momentum.

Mikey scoffed and Robin just smiled. He plopped a slice of apple into her mouth as she relaxes her back against his chest.

Mikey
There, kain ka lang. I'll feed you while we read and edit the script.

Robin
Okay!

Mikey
Saang sequence na tayo?

Robin pointed at the paper.

Robin
Ito, sequence 4.

Mikey
Sige . . .

Mikey fed her another slice of apple again.

Robin
Tingin mo okay lang 'to?
Consistent naman characterization nila?

Mikey
Yes, so far.
I think we should just read it in one go then we'll talk about it after if there's something we should change.

Robin
P'wede.

Mikey
Let's begin from the start.

Robin
Sige—

Mikey
But you should eat first. I bought you bahn mi and banana milk. May salmon empanada din.

Robin
Ang dami kong pasalubong?

He smiled, feeding her a fruit again.

Mikey
I just figured earlier na you'll like them kaya I bought some for you. Sakto pala kasi 'di ka pa kumakain.

Robin
Nakalimutan ko talaga, sorry. Ganito lang talaga ako kapag sobrang focused sa isang bagay. Kaya inuna ko na ring maligo kaninang umaga, e. 'Di ko na rin napansin 'yong oras.

Mikey
Sana pala nag-message ako kanina for reminder. Na-occupy lang talaga ako mag-pack kasi 9 flight namin ni Kachi. Six o'clock na rin kasi kami natapos kanina sa recording studio. I was rushed.

Robin
Hala, ayos lang. 'Di ko naman kailangan ng reminder. May snacks naman ako.

Mikey
Which is not a proper meal.
Buti hindi nagka-crash blood sugar mo and hindi ka nahihilo?
