INT. LIVING ROOM - AFTERNOON

Vonn
Gusto mo ng mangga? Pagbabalat kita. Nagluto si Mama kanina ng alamang.

Isla
Ayaw. Sleepy ako.

Vonn
E halos four o'clock na?

Isla
So?

Vonn
Baka 'di ka makatulog nang maaga mamaya kapag natulog ka ngayon.

Isla
Sleepy nga ako!

Vonn
Akyat ka na lang muna—

Nataline
Sa k'wart mo, Vonn.
'Di pa ako nakakapaglinis kila Vanya ang daming laruan ni Vina do'n nakakalat p.

Isla hurriedly ran upstairs.

Isla
Okay po!
Bye! Good night!

Nataline
Antok na antok na talaga.

Vonn
Ma, buksan ko aircon?

Nataline
Sige. Bagong palit ba kumot mo? Kung hindi, kumuha ka ng bago do'n sa lagayan, ipahiram mo kay Isla.

Vonn
Okay.

INT. BEDROOM - AFTERNOON

3:39 p.m.

Her lids were falling heavy. But apparently, Isla wasn't that sleepy to easily doze off. Her eyes couldn't help itself from roaming around his room. The walls were painted in powder blue. His desk was neat with a few notebooks and music sheets on the side. His two guitars were securely placed on their stands beside his bed.

But Isla can't seem to keep her eyes from the papers lying on his desk.

Isla
Puro notes?
Marunong siya magbasa nito?

Vonn
Isla, ito na kumot—

Vonn hurriedly dropped the blanket on his bed before running to his study table.

Vonn
'Wag mong tingnan!

Isla
Ha?

Vonn
Sabi ko 'wag mong tingnan.
Magulo 'to.

He immediately kept all the sheet music and his notebook inside the drawer.

Isla
Okay?
'Di naman ako marunong magbasa niyan.

Vonn
Kahit na.

Isla
Labas ka na nga.
Mag-sleep na ako.

Vonn
'Wag mong kuhain 'yong nasa drawer, ah!

Isla
Oo.

Vonn
Promise?
'Pag lumabas ako 'di mo kukuhain?

Isla rolled her eyes.

Isla
Bahala ka nga d'yan.

Vonn
Dito muna ako!
Babantayan kita baka kuhain mo!

Isla
Okay? As if interested ako do'n nakakahilo nga tingnan.

Vonn
Oo na! Matulog ka na.

Isla glared at him again, retiring herself on his bed. His sheets were crisp, its waft brought fresh linens to her senses, and the blanket hugging her was so soft she immediately fell asleep.

Vanya
Ate—

Vonn
Shh!
Tulog na.

Vanya
But we're gonna play.

Vonn
Mamaya pagkagising niya.

Vanya
Tell her to go to our room na!
Na-clean ko na toys ni Vina.

Vonn
Gigising ko pa?
Tulog na nga ako?

Vanya
Oh! Okay.

Vonn
Sige na, do'n ka na sa baba.

Vanya
Hindi ka bababa, Kuya?

Vonn shook his head, dragging his eyes to the girl sleeping soundly on his bed.

Vonn
Dito muna ako saglit.

Vanya
Ikaw, Kuya, ha.

Vonn
Saglit lang.
Baka bumangon, e.
Tapos makita notebook ko.

Vanya
What?

Vonn
Wala! Sige, do'n ka na.
