___________________________________________________________________________

At a function room of a resort, Michael is seen pacing back and forth, looking at his phone. A young man in his late 20s and an elderly man on a cane approach him.

Michael: Labidabs...nasaan na kayo...

Lolo Vic: Huy! Michael, may problema ba? Ba't para kang kiti-kiti na di mapakali?

Michael: Ay, 'lo, mano po. (scratches his head) Yung biyenan ko ho kasi, dumating mula sa Tate, sinama si Labidabs sa spa. Di pa rin nagpaparamdam hanggang ngayon. Kanina pa silang umaga umalis.

Tisoy: Biyenan? Akala ko ba ulilang lubos na si Coleng?

Michael: Yun na nga. Pero may lola siya at utol. Mukhang masama ang loob sa akin kasi di namin nakumbida nung nagpakasal kami sa huwes.

Tisoy: Eh wala naman talaga kayong kinumbida, kahit nga magulang mo hindi nakapunta. Kami nga lang ni Lolo Vic yung witness nun. Tapos, sa turo-turo lang ni Aling Sonya mo kami pinakain. Kuripot.

Michael: Oo na nga. Kaya bumabawi kami ngayon di ba? Ngayon lang kami naka-ipon para sa kasal eh. Inarkila namin tong resort para maka-relax yung matanda. Full catering pa, kaya di na magugutom yung mga sawa sa tiyan mo.

Tisoy: Anong sawa? At lokohin mo ang lelang mo. Libre kaya renta mo dito kasi kay Lolo Vic tong resort. (about to hit him)

Lolo Vic: Oh oh oh...ayan na naman kayo. Para pa rin kayong mga batang trese anyos kung magka-alaskahan. Tisoy, samahan mo nga ako muna dun sa kwarto at may kukunin ako.

Tisoy: Sige ho, lo.

Michael: Ay lo, sabay na rin ako papuntang mga kwarto. Kunin ko powerbank ko at malapit na mag-lowbatt cellphone ko.

As Michael, Tisoy and Lolo Vic leave to go to their rooms, Coleng, Meng, and Lola Poleng arrive at the events hall. Coleng is munching on crinkles while walking beside Lola Poleng. Meng on the otherhand was busy inspecting the decorations in the room.

Meng: (looks around) Well, I've got to say I'm impressed Coleng. This is a pretty classy place to hold the wedding reception. And the resort staff were pretty professional too.

Coleng: I know right?! My Labidabs spared no expense to make my dream wedding come true. Everything is set for the ceremony. He arranged everything and I didn't have to stress about a single detail. Mamita, he even booked this whole place for two days and two nights for us so that you can comfortably rest and relax before the ceremony. He badly wants to win your amor.

Lola Poleng: Hmm...I'm not a woman easily impressed by grandiosity. But then again, what's the use of getting on my good side when he has already gotten your hand in marriage without even extending the courtesy of informing me of his intentions, or at the very least his existence. It's not like I have long to live so he won't need to deal with me for much longer. (sits down dramatically) YOU don't even need to deal with me any longer.

Coleng: Mamita...

Meng: (pulls Coleng away) Let's just let her continue her internal monologue. But care to explain why I'm suddenly teaching your wedding entourage the swing?

Coleng: Oh please Meng, sithy, please, for me? It's just one group dance during the reception, a simple dance. The rest of the wedding party is arriving in a few hours. You can start the warm up after dinner, and then quick rehearsals tomorrow and then wedding na the day after tomorrow! You have ample time to think of choreo and teach them. I would've taught them myself but mommy duties and final adjustment ng gown ko tomorrow. Please? Please? (shaking Meng's arm) Alam mo naman na bata pa lang tayo, I've always wanted a grand dance production during my wedding. Like those cheesy musicales.
