NATHAN: Yeah, may problema ba?
FRANCIS: (nakangiti) No need to worry, everyone.
LORY: Then why did you call us?
PIA: What’s this dinner all about?
FRANCIS: I have a good news for all of you.
NATHAN: What is it? Don’t make us wait, Francis. (curious) Is this about the children?
FRANCIS: Relax Nathan. Yes it is! (big smile)
PIA: You mean! (excited)
FRANCIS: Our plan is working!
NATHAN: Really?! That’s great! (big smile)
LORY: What happened? Why do you think so?
FRANCIS: Today sa office, nakita ng mga employees na masayang lumabas ng conference room sila Julie at Elmo. They said they were even laughing! (wagas ang saya)
LORY: My daughter is laughing?! (hindi makapaniwala)

SA YATE
JULIE: You know how to run this yatch?
ELMO: Of course. Wanna look around the sea?
JULIE: Gabi na, wala na tayong makikita. Maybe next time.
ELMO: Sabagay. Basta next time, maglilibot tayo sa dagat.
JULIE: Ai! Ai! Captain! (smile)
ELMO: (natawa) Haha! Alam mo, ang kulit mo pala.
JULIE: Mas makulit kasi yung kasama ko. (natatawa)
ELMO: Yeah right.
JULIE: You have siblings, right?
ELMO: Yeah, how’d you know?
JULIE: Dad told me. So, you guys hang out here?
ELMO: Sometimes.
JULIE: Why sometimes?
ELMO: We are all busy with our jobs. Mostly yung younger sister at brother ko ang kasama ko dito.
JULIE: I see… (nag-isip) Malaki pala ang family nyo. (smile)
ELMO: Yup. Our eldest runs our clothing company. My two older sisters help him manage the clothing business. Then, yung 2 younger studying pa.
JULIE: That’s great. One happy family. (smile)
ELMO: Yeah. (smile)
JULIE: Anyway, it’s getting late already, I think we should go.
ELMO: (tingin sa relo) Yeah! (smile) I didn’t notice.
JULIE: (tumayo) You’ve been spending a lot of time with me, baka magalit ang girlfriend mo nyan. (smile)
ELMO: Haha! No, no, I don’t have a girlfriend. (tumayo)
JULIE: (tiningnan si Elmo na natatawa) Really? (hindi naniniwala)
ELMO: (tiningnan si Julie) Yes. (smile) As a matter of fact, Ikaw ang unang babaeng sinama ko dito aside from my Mom and sisters.
JULIE: (smile) Well, I’m honored.
ELMO: (smile) You still don’t believe me.
JULIE: (nakangiti lang na nakatingin kay Elmo) Ok, I believe you. Happy?
ELMO: (nakatingin kay Julie at nakangiti) Really?
JULIE: Yeah, you said you don’t, then you don’t. I’ll believe your word.
ELMO: Good. Let’s go. (nakangiting inalalayan si Julie)
RESTAURANT (after dinner)
NATHAN: I have an idea! (smile)
FRANCIS: What? (curious)
NATHAN: Since our plan is working, bakit hindi pa natin lubusin.
PIA: So…? (curious)
NATHAN: Let’s make them spend more time together!
LORY: They already are spending time together.
NATHAN: I know.
FRANCIS: So, what’s your plan?
NATHAN: We’ll send them out together.
FRANCIS: How?
FRANCIS: (nag-isip) Uhm… An out of town team building activity!
FRANCIS: Team building activity?
NATHAN: Yes! That way, they will be able to spend more time together. They will also have the chance to get to know each other very well.
LORY: There is also a big probability that they will get their memories back.
NATHAN: Yes, there is.
PIA: We have to be there for them when they remember everything. I’m afraid of their reactions when they find out their past.
NATHAN: I know. But, what’s important is changing them back to how they used to be. We’ll face the problem when they already remember everything. Right now, we have to help them remember who they are.
FRANCIS: Ok, I get your point. I’ll agree with you.
NATHAN: Thank you, Frans.
FRANCIS: So, when are we going to do it?
NATHAN: I’ll make the arrangements. I’ll call you tomorrow about the details.
FRANCIS: Ok.
ELMO’S PLACE
ELMO POV: (nakahiga at matutulog na) This day is perfect! Julie is really something. Ang sarap nya kasama. I wonder if we have met before. (naalala ang mga naalala nung una silang magkita) I completely forgot to ask Mom. I guess I should just leave my past behind. I’m afraid to know the truth. Past is past. What’s important is today and the future.
Nakatulog si Elmo. Nagdesisyon syang wag na alamin ang nakaraan nila ni Julie dahil natatakot sya sa malalaman. Hindi nya alam kung pano tatanggapin ang katotohanan kung si Julie nga ang babae sa mga panaginip nya. Masyadong mahaba ang panahon na nasayang. Masaya sya pag kasama nya ito kaya hindi nya hahayaang masira iyon ng nakaraan.
