Hello? (Breathes) Marcus?

Marcus :
Good morning, Jen ko! (Chuckles) Gising ka na talaga?

Jenessy :
E... (Pauses) Opo. Bakit?

Marcus :
(Chuckles lightly) Nothing.

Jenessy :
Bakit nga?

Marcus :
What time am I going to drop by today?

Jenessy :
E... (Whispers) Sure na ba tayo?

Marcus :
Kinausap mo na ba si Nanay?

Jenessy :
(pitchy voice) Nanay ko!

Marcus :
(Chuckles) Si Nanay nga. (Chuckles more) Sinabi mong dadalaw ako?

Jenessy :
Hmp. (Pauses) Kinausap ko naman na... (Whispers) Pero baka magulat pa rin siya... (Lowers voice more) saka, baka umiyak e... (Almost inaudible) pano yun?

Marcus :
It will be okay. Mas mabuti yung alam niya yung tungkol sa 'tin kaysa magulat siya bigla. We talked about it last night, right? (Pauses) You remember everything over the phone?

Jenessy :
E ikaw..? (Pauses) You remember everything?

Marcus :
Alin dun? Yung I love you ko? O yung I love you mo?

Jenessy :
Hala! (Pitchy voice) Wala naman akong sinabi e!!!

Marcus :
(Clicks tongue) Yes. Kailan mo sasabihin sa kin sa phone?

Jenessy :
Hala! (Pitchy voice) Hindi naman yan yung topic! (Breathes faster)

Marcus :
(Chuckles) Okay, ano uli yung topic?

Jenessy :
You remember our... proposal?

Marcus :
Yes, Jen ko. (Pauses) Hindi pa ko aakyat ng ligaw. Sa debut mo pa. Magpapaalam lang tayo nang maaga para nakareserba ka na sa kin.

Jenessy :
Tapos po?

Marcus :
(Palatak) Tsk. (Pauses) No intimate touch.

Jenessy :
(Giggles silently) Tapos po?

Marcus :
No distractions when you're doing your schoolworks.

Jenessy :
Uhum...

Marcus :
No dates without her permission.

Jenessy :
And?

Marcus :
I won't kiss you. Yet.

Jenessy :
(Giggles lightly) Okay. Tama lahat, MM. Galing!

Marcus :
Tsk.

Jenessy :
May problema ba? (Giggles)

Marcus :
Tsk. (Whispers something)

Jenessy :
Ano yun?

Marcus :
I'm bargaining later. Kay Nanay mo.

Jenessy :
Basta wag mo siya paiiyakin! Magagalit ako!

Marcus :
(Laughs lightly) Nope.

Jenessy :
Wag mo siya bibiglain, ha? Wag gaya nung confession mo...

Marcus :
No. I won't. I know I have to wait, Jen ko. Trust me on this.

Jenessy :
Okay... (Pauses) So... See you later?

Marcus :
Time?

Jenessy :
Sa dinner. Be here at six. Magluluto kami.

Marcus :
Okay, Jen. See you.

Jenessy :
Okay.

Marcus :
I love you.

Jenessy :
(Breathes) Uhum.

Marcus :
Uhum what?

Jenessy :
Yun. (Giggles) Ba-bye!
