Dave:
Bub?

Ash:
Hey

Dave:
I just got here

Wala ka pa?

Ash:
Sa park lang ako nearby

Dave:
Why?

Ash:
Tito came uli sa office

Dave:
What did he say this time?

Ash:
He said sorry

Dave:
What for?

Ash:

For everything he did to you

And he thanked me for loving you

Dave:
Regrets huh

Ash:
He was being sincere

Dave:
Sunduin na kita

Ash:
Bub pag-usapan uli natin

Dave:
I can't

Ash:
Mahina na talaga sya

When I saw him years ago nung boyfriend palang kita, I was scared lalo kasi you told me how he is. But now, I can't even tell he's the same person as before.

Dave:
He's old too

That's why

Ash:
Your Mom is the same age and
she's thriving

Dave:
Because she wasn't toxic

Ash:
You can't always be angry

Dave:
I'm not. I just can't forgive.

Uwi ka na ready na dinner

Ash:
I'll stay here for a while

I need to breathe and think

Dave:
About what?

Ash:
Nothing

I just need to breathe

Dave:
Okay

I'll wait here

Sabay tayo kumain

Ash:
You can eat kapag gutom ka na

Dave:
Intayin kita

Ash:
Okay
