Present.
Angeli is looking out the car window.
Thinking.
It's been a week since her video call with Ate Ronnie.
Flashback:
"What do you think?" asked Angeli.
"Gusto... Gustong gusto." said Ate Ronnie.
Angeli smiled.
"Yes... Ate, I do... miss it. I miss it a lot, and I still do." said Angeli.
"Bakit di mo subukan bumalik?" asked Ate Ronnie.
"It..It's not that simple." Angeli gave a small smile.
Ate Ronnie understood what she meant.
Mahigit sampung taon na ang nakalipas nung lumipat ka diyan sa US.
"Anak, word of advice lang ha..." said Ate Ronnie.
Angeli nodded.
"Bago ka pa magsalita ng tapos, bakit di mo subukan? Malay mo, eto na yung panahong pinakaiintay mo. Ang pagkakataong makabalik sa Pilipinas... Sa showbiz."
Angeli just stared at her.
Tama si Ate Ronnie.
"Ate...If I try...will you be there with me?" asked Angeli.
Ate Ronnie smiled.
"Every step of the way." said Ronnie.

Present.
Vince is waiting outside his college.
Thinking.
He has been doing that a lot lately since his dinner with his former handler.
He smirked.
Flashback:
"So...Ayaw mo nga?" asked Even.
He was about to take a bite of his beloved chicken balat.
He put his fork down and looked at Even in the eye.
"Hindi naman sa ayaw ko, Ate. Pero di kasi ganun kadali yun e."
"Paano mo naman nasabi?" asked Even.
"Halos 10 years na din since umarte ako...Unang una, di na din ako bata...di na din ako teenager...22 years old na ko. Mahirap na makakuha ng role na maganda kasi talagang competitive na...Alam mo yun? Ang daming mga artista na nasa age bracket ko." said Vince.
"Ano ka ba. Magaling ka umarte, di ka namang tatawaging 'Golden Boy' kung hindi, diba? Mag workshop ka lang ulit...Refresher ba..." said Even.
"Okay, sabihin nga natin na nakakakuha pa din ako ng magandang roles...Ang pangalawa, next year gagraduate na ko. Mahirap naman ang basta nalang tumigil sa pagaaral. Mas lalo na kung isang taon nalang." said Vince.
"Mahirap nga pero di imposible." said Even.
"Madami din namang artista diyan ang nakatapos parin ng college at nagawa pa mag serye o movie." added Even.
Vince smiled.
Tama naman si Ate Even.
Kakayanin ko kaya?

SHE SAID.
Angeli is pacing in her room.
