PIA: (binaba ang book na binabasa) Frans?

FRANCIS: (tiningnan si Pia) Yes?

PIA: (nag-iisip) I’ve been thinking… it’s been a month since Julie came back.

FRANCIS: So? What about it?

PIA: You think our plan is really working? I mean… about their memories?

FRANCIS: (napaisip) I guess it is.

PIA: But don’t you think it’s too long? Their memories aren’t coming back yet.

FRANCIS: We can’t push their memories to come back… we can’t rush it. It’s not in our hands. Let’s just wait. Give them more time.

PIA: But…

FRANCIS: (tiningnan si Pia) What do you wanna do about them?

PIA: (tiningnan si Francis) Don’t you think it’s about time for us to tell them the truth?

FRANCIS: (napaisip) Pia…

PIA: Frans, nahihirapan na akong Makita sila na ganyan. They seem to have a barier between them.

FRANCIS: Pia, they are showing progress. Their attitudes are improving. Isn’t it a good sign? Just give them enough time.

PIA: Yeah, I know. But… they are not seeing each other for the past few days. Parang may iniiwasan nila ang isa’t isa.

FRANCIS: Maybe they are just busy. Don’t think too much.

PIA: I can’t… I’m also scared about their reaction when they finally remember everything.

FRANCIS: (sigh) We’ve talked about it already. We’ll have to endure everything. Telling them everything now would be too late. We’ll hurt them the same if we tell them now or wait for them to remember.

PIA: But, Frans…

FRANCIS: Pia, we can’t just do what ever we want to do. We can’t just tell them everything now. We have to consider Nathan and Lory’s decision. It’s not just up to us.

PIA: I just hope everything will turn out right.

FRANCIS: It will be. I’m sure it will. Let’s just wait.

PIA: Okay.

FRANCIS: Go and visit them in the office. I’m sure Moe will be happy to see you. You might also see Julie there. Go see them and set your heart at peace.

PIA: That would be better. (tumayo) I’ll go change.

FRANCIS: Have fun!

PIA: (naglalakad) Will do!
