*UPDATED*

Matapos ang kasiyahan, nagpatuloy sa trabaho si Joey. Nagdistribute ito ng mga cupcakes na inorder ng mga customers. Habang nasa shop naman ang kaibigan ni Joey na nearly-wed na si Ditas at kausap ito ang kanyang nearly-husband na foreigner, si Mario na marunong mag-Tagalog.

DITAS: Hon, help me kasi? (sabi nito habang kumakain at nakaharap sa laptop)

MARIO: I'm helping!

DITAS: If you really want to help, dapat nandito ka!

MARIO: Babe, I'll be there, but I can't!

DITAS: Ay naku! (biglang nakita si Joey) Ay, baby, wait lang, wait lang! (sabi nito sa nobyo) JOEY, JOEY! Halika! Halika! (tawag niya kay Joey)

JOEY: Ano? (sabi niya at lumapit)

DITAS: Si Hon?!! (tinuro ang boyfriend na nasa laptop)

MARIO: Hello Joey, Kamusta?

JOEY: Mabuti!

DITAS: Upo ka! (sabi niya kay Joey)

MARIO: Ah, Joey, if you on your wedding, which cake do you choose?

Napahinto sandali si Joey.

JOEY: Kung ako ang ikakasal? Pipiliin ko yung cake na magpapasaya sa'kin na dapat sa pinaka-masayang araw ng buhay ko.

MARIO: And it will be?

JOEY: Chocolate! Tinatanong pa ba 'yon? (tinginan sila Ditas)

MARIO: Then, chocolate it is! And thank you very much Joey. By the way, you're invited to the wedding, okey? Bring your boyfriend?!!

Parehong napatigil si Ditas at Joey sa narinig. At narinig ito ni Sam habang nag-seserve ito.

MARIO: Husband then? (dugtong pa nito)

Hindi na nasagot ni Joey ang tanong.

Makalipas ang mahabang shift sa shop, ay umuwi na si Joey, nag-iisa, dala-dala ang mga gamit niya galing sa shop. Pagkapasok niya sa kanilang bahay, nilapitan niya ang mga kahon sa kanilang sala na parang mga regalo sa kasal. Sa isang kahon ay binuksan niya ito at mayroong card na nakasulat ay,

"January 5, 2012

Marvin & Joey,

Wishing you a happy life together!

Mrs. Reyes"

Hindi napigilang malungkot ni Joey dahil sa nangyaring pag-atras ng kanyang magiging asawa sa kanilang kasal.

*Meanwhile, in THAILAND*

Habang kina Marcus...

*translated in English*

*THAILAND LANGUAGE*

Nanood ng balita si Lalita, secretary ng mama ni Marcus.

TV NEWS REPORTER: "After being dumped by longtime girlfriend and onscreen partner Sririta Taylor, the Prince of Romance, Marcus Hanson, is being replaced as the lead in Director Chakrit Chatree's epic drama, "THE ELEPHANT KING". Rumor has it that Mitr Nawat, Sririta's new boyfriend is in talks to take over as lead.

LALITA: Ahhhhhhhh... (inis na inis na sigaw nito at nilapitan ang kanyang assistant at sabing) Go on twitter and flood it with #MARCUSANDSRIRITAFOREVER.

Habang...

Si Marcus, dumaan ito pa ito sa isang coffee shop na dapat papunta na ito sa building kong saan pinapatawag siya ng kanyang mama para sa isang immediate meeting. Kaya, tinawagan siya ni Lalita.

LALITA: Where are you? We have a big problem!

MARCUS: I'm on my way!

LALITA: Okey, okey! We'll see you!

Pinatay na ang phone at pumasoj na ito sa shop, sinalubong agad ito ng isang waitress at sinabing...

WAITRESS: Oh! It's Marcus Hanson! (gulat na sigaw ng waitress)

MARCUS: Coffee please?

Tumakbo agad ang waitress, at nakipag-kwentuhan ito kay Marcus.

WAITRESS: Don't worry, Sririta will come to her senses. I can feel it. She's still in love with you. That Mitr is nothing conpared to you. After all, you are like the biggest superstar in Thailand. I have the DVD's of all the movies you ever made. I love the Fantastic Kiss. And I was wonderin' (kinuha ng waitress ang kahon na puno ng mga collection kay Marcus) - if you can sign this?

MARCUS: And I was wondering if you could just give me my coffee? (galit na sagot ni Marcus)

WAITRESS: Don't have to be a jerk, you know?

MARCUS: But, I already am!

WAITRESS: Serves you right as I tell you, asshole! (galit ding binigay ang coffee)

Kinuha ang pera at binigay agad sa waitress. Pero nung palabas na siya sa shop ay maraming press ang sumalubong sa kanya.

MGA PRESS: How do you feel about being dropped for "Elephant King?"

MARCUS: I'm sorry I have to go!

MGA PRESS: Did you hear that Sririta and Mitr are engaged?

MARCUS: I can't make a comment right now!

MGA PRESS: Is the "My Special Boy" sequel pushing through?

BIGLANG NATAPON ANG COFFEE SA DAMIT NI MARCUS...

MARCUS: SHIT! (napamurang si Marcus) Do you know how much crap I had to put up with for that coffee?

Nagtinginan ang mga press sa isa't isa at umalis agad si Marcus.

Habang...

PRODUCER: "Queen of Bangkok" was on TV last night. What year was - ?

MAI: 1988!

PRODUCER: Really? Has it been that long? You were good in that movie!

Dumating naman si Marcus sa office kung saan may immediate meeting silang kaniyang mama. Natulala ang lahat kay Marcus.

MAI: What happened to you? Why do you look like that?

MARCUS: What is the big problem?

LALITA: They're spreading lights! How Chatree say he had you when he didn't even cast you? But, don't worry! I already spoke to the press. I told them you didn't even audition because you have 2 new movies that you're going to do!

MARCUS: Let me guess? I will be Prince Charming again? Will get a girl in there?

LALITA: What's wrong with that?

MARCUS: Lita, I've been acting since I was 10 and a last 5 years, half of the movie I've done is me and Sririta have a happy ending!

LALITA: But that's the audience likes? (sigaw nito kay Marcus)

MARCUS: W'the hell with the audience?!!! (sagot na malakas)

LALITA: Oh, c'mon Marcus! You can't let make things like this take away from you. Sririta, your roles, your fans?

MARCUS: I HAVE ENOUGH ALL OF THEM! I DON'T CARE! (sigaw na naman ni Marcus)

MAI: What do you want Marcus? (mahinhin na tanong ng ina)

MARCUS: I don't want to do another movie with Sririta!

PRODUCER: You can fix this! You have to pay Sririta, the rest of her talent fees!

MARCUS: Why do we agree with this shit contract anyway?

LALITA: Oh! Because, when you were doing "My Special Boy" you both so in love and we all taught it was going to last forever?!! (sabay walk-out si Lalita)

Tumayo ang mama ni Marcus at kinausap ng masinsinan.

MAI: We don't need to lost, we need this to be hit, we are so close to get that we dreamed of! (sabi nito sa anak na mukahang naintindihan naman ni Marcus
