"Hmm RJ? Bakit, alas kwatro na oh."(yawns)
"Meng. I can't sleep."
"Jetlag? Ang delayed naman yata niyan."
"Freaking time zones. Argh gusto ko na matulog."
"Eh bat di ka matulog. Bawiin mo puyat mo."
"I caaaaann't. Plus..."
"Plus what RJ? (Yawns)"
"I miss you. Kahit nasa iisang Bayang Magiliw na tayo."
*snorts* "magpatulog ka nga RJ."
"Ayaw. Talk to me hanggang makatulog ako."
"Eh ano ngang paguusapan natin?"
"Kahit ano. Yung future na lang natin."
"Grabe syaaaaa."
"Meng, gusto ko Barasoain tayo. Para malapit sa inyo."
"Sabi mo dati Manila Cathedral? Bat nag-iba?"
"Eh diba sabi mo, maganda dun. Nakwento mo last time."
"Fine. Barasoain. Bakit ba ito topic natin?"

"Tapos ang reception natin sa Las Niñas Del Carmen. Maganda daw dun sabi ni Ate Niks."
"Teka-what? Nagtanong ka kay Ate? Hanep!"
"Ikaw na pumili ng motif Meng."
"Yellow and White."
"Okay yellow kasi favorite mo, pero bakit white?"
"Kasi you look good in white."
"Ahh." *grins* "Wedding March?"
"God Gave Me You."
"Ricardoooooo."
"HAHAHA! Grabe sya, ayaw mo ba yun? Theme song nga natin yun eh!"
"Basta iba dapat! Ikaw na mag-isip, wag lang yun or Dalinay."
"Hmm. Mamaya isipin ko. Number of children?"
"Tatlo lang."
"Bakit?"
"RJ, alam mo naman diba? How tough ot is to grow up in a big family? It sure has its perks, pero no matter what they say, hindi equal ang attention na maibibigay the more na maraming magkakapatid. Middle child syndrome. I don't want one of our kids to experience that."
"Sounds fair enough. Children's names?"
"Sebastian. Celestine. Charmaine."

"Hey, bakit iisang lalaki lang? Lugi ako!"
"Tama na yung may isang singkulit mo if ever!"
"Eto: Place for honeymoon?"
"I invoke my right against self-incrimination."
"Madayaaaaa. Sagutin mo Meng."
"Bakit ba kasi ito pinaguusapan natin? May five years pa diba?"
"Sino may sabi?"

(Silence)

"Nicomaine. Wala nang five years. I'm making it three."
"What-ano? Hoy RJ inaantok ka na talaga!"
"I'm serious here. Three years from now, and I'll be asking for your hand in marriage kina Mommy and Tatay."
"Huy teka, ang seryoso mo naman."
"Because I am. You know what, maigi rin yung nag-Canada ako. Kasi napag-isipan ko na ang mga bagay-bagay."
(Clears throat) "Tulad ng?"
"Gusto mo bang malaman kung anong petsa ako pupunta sa inyo three years from now?"
"RJ NAMAN EEEH. FUNNY AKO."

"HAHAHA! Maniwala ka na. Kasi isang araw, three years from now, masusuot ko na yung letter E sayo."
"RJ, can I ask you a question?"
"Shoot."
"Bakit sigurado ka na? Bakit ako?"
"Dami nun ah."
"Answer it please."
"Sigurado ako kasi ipinagpray kita. Sabi ko kay Lord noon, Lord gusto ko ng taong mamahalin ako bilang RJ at hindi Alden. Bakit ikaw? Bakit hindi? Bibigyan nila ako ng maraming rason kung bakit hindi, pero isa lang yung kailangan kong dahilan kung bakit ikaw."
"Ano?"
"Mahal kita. Sobra."

(Silence)

"RJ, hindi ka ba natatakot? Kasi ilang months pa lang tayo magkakilala. Pero you're looking out into the far future."
"Natatakot. Pero mas nakakatakot yung isipin kong three years from now, ayaw mo na sa'kin. Do I annoy you with these questions?"
"Hindi."
"Hindi ka nao-awkward?"
"Nakakatawa pero hindi."
"Dahil?"
"Kasi for the first time, I feel so important."
"You're my priority now."

(Two is Better than One plays in A's background)

"Nicomaine, three years from now, the Two of us will really be better as one. Let's figure out our lives together, please?"
"RJ... I can't wait."
