INT. CAR - AFTERNOON
4:31 p.m.
Mikey
Love? Ano?
What do you think?
Robin
Anong what do I think?
Mikey
Kung anong type ng craving.
Is it the first one or second one?
Robin inhaled sharply, holding her fingers down to avoid fidgeting.
Robin
Hindi ko talaga alam. Ayaw kong umasa.
Mikey
Umasa? For the second one?
She nodded.
Robin
Oo. Kinakabahan ako, e.
Excited din naman.
Pero baka kasi false alarm lang.
Kaya ayaw kong umasa.
Mikey
Do you want to count?
We've been there sa set for at least three weeks.
Do you think that's enough time since the last?
Robin
Oo . . .
Pero hindi pa rin tayo sure.
Ayaw ko munang ma-excite.
Mikey
Let's go sa pharmacy?
Bili tayo pregnancy test.
Robin
Sige.
Pero ako na lang siguro papasok.
Mikey
Ha?
No. Sama ako.
Robin
Paano kapag may nakakilala sa 'yo do'n?
Ma-issue ka pa na bumibili ka ng PT.
Ako na lang muna siguro.
Mikey
I don't care.
Sama ako.
Robin
Sure ka?
Mikey
Yup.
Robin
Bili tayo iba't ibang brand.
Para sure.
Mikey
Okay.
Robin
Kinakabahan talaga ako.
Mikey
It's okay.
I'm a bit nervous too.
But I'm more excited.
Robin
Excited? Talaga?
Mikey
Yes, why not?
It's our baby!
She smiled and Mikey took a hold of her hand.
Mikey
I'm the happiest if our baby's really there.
'Pag wala then let's try again.
He grinned.
Mikey
We're really good at trying.
Robin
Huy!
Mikey
It's true!
Plus it's been so long.
Almost a month din 'yon, love.
Robin
Tama ka na muna.
Marinig ka ng anak mo d'yan.
His smile grew wider.
Mikey
I like the sound of that.
Anak mo. Anak ko.
Anak natin.
Robin
Sana talaga.
Mikey
I know.
But if wala then we'll try.
Robin
Pero . . .
Mikey
Hmm?
Pero, ano?
Robin
Paano kapag sinabi nila na ang bilis natin?
Last weekend lang tayo naging public tapos mababalitaan nila buntis na ako agad.
Mikey
And?
Robin
Paano kapag naka-affect sa career mo 'yon?
Mikey
Do you want an honest answer?
Robin
Oo?
Mikey
I don't really care.
If they think we're being fast or hasty, that's not on me anymore. I can't really do anything with how they think about me. And I know it's going to affect my career one way or another, that's where our plan c's going to kick in. Prepared ako. I also think I have established enough for myself, including you and our future kids. Kaya if magising ako bukas and I'm suddenly out of a job sa entertainment industry, it wouldn't scare me anymore.
I've been working for as long as I could remember. More than 20 years na rin ako dito starting from my first ever commercial, and I worked really hard. Nagawa ko naman na lahat ng gusto ko before. I'm content, and if this is how I'm going to enjoy the result of my hard work now by building a family at 29? Then yes. Wala akong pakialam sa kanila. They don't have a say on how I should run my life. Nagtatrabaho lang din ako, I didn't sell them my soul.
His thumb softly brushed along her knuckle to ease her up.
Mikey
But for now, if we're really expecting, I just want to be happy for us. Okay?
Robin sighed in relief, nodding.
Robin
Okay.
Mikey
Let's buy PTs na.
