INT. TENT - AFTERNOON
3:41 p.m.
Kachi exhaled. Dropping the script to her lap.
Mikey
You okay?
Kachi
Oo, okay pa.
Ang heavy lang talaga nito.
Mikey
You sure?
Mikey handed her a tissue.
Mikey
Here.
Save your crying muna for tomorrow.
Kachi
Parang 'di naman need.
Feel ko automatic na rin luha ko bukas.
Mikey
I know.
But save it for tomorrow.
I-read lang natin ngayon.
Don't let it seep in yet.
Kachi
Ang hirap.
Mikey
We do this every time.
I'm sure you can—
Kachi
Mahirap nga kasi. Even without thinking of the character. Ang heavy pa rin niya . . . for me.
Mikey
. . .
Kachi sniffed, wiping the tear on her cheek.
Mikey
Do you need a hug or something?
Kachi
Eww! No!
Especially not from you!
Mikey
What?
I offered na nga.
Kachi
Ayaw ko. Eww!
Mikey
Fine.
Kachi
Anyway, naka-receive ka rin ba ng email?
About the fohndation ball?
Mikey
I'm not sure.
Mayro'n na ba?
Kachi
I think kahapon.
Mikey
Oh . . . 'di ako nag-check ng work phone kahapon so I wasn't able to see if may natanggap ako.
Kachi
I'm pretty sure you did!
Are you taking Ate Robin as your plus one?
Mikey
Of course—
The door to the tent opened and Robin casually walked in.
Robin
Patambay!
Init sa labas.
Robin rounds Mikey's chair in search for a mini stool but she just settled on his lap instead.
Mikey smiled.
Robin
Dito na lang ako.
Mikey
Are you done working na?
Robin
Oo. Tapos na.
Kayo?
Kachi
Ate Robin, and heavy n'ong scene.
I need a hug.
Mikey
STOP!
Nag-offer ako sa 'yo kanina tapos you said eww and now you want a hug from MY girlfriend?
