(Phone conversation | Hannah and Henny)
TUE AT 06:37 AM
Call started.
Henny :
You're picking up just now? Kagabi pa 'ko tumatawag sa'yo.
Hannah :
(Sleepy voice) Sorry... I was busy. Didn't Zig tell you?
Henny :
Hanggang hatinggabi? Busy ka?
Hannah :
What is it?
Henny :
Gusto ni Mama na i-check kita. Pupunta kayo ni Zig sa Sabado, right?
Hannah :
Yeah.
(Long silence)
Henny :
Siguruhin mo. Napapagod din akong mag-isang mag-asikaso rito. I have a family to take care of. Inaalagaan ko rin si Mama at inaasikaso ang negosyo habang ikaw, ginagawa mo lang lahat ng gusto mo.
Hannah :
I know. (Sighs) I'm sorry.
(Long silence)
Henny :
That's a first. (Clears throat)
Hannah :
I'm sorry. Pero hangga't hindi gumagawa ng paraan si Mama para makita natin si Papa... I won't go home.
(Long silence)
Henny :
(Clears throat) You will be living alone for a long time.
Hannah :
Ayaw mo rin ba? Na makita si Papa? (Pause) Ilang taon na siyang mag-isa. Hindi man lang natin alam kung kumusta na siya.
(Henny sighs) (Long silence)
Hannah :
Forget it.
Henny :
Kung ayaw mong umuwi, bahala ka. Pero kailangan mong dumalaw kahit isang beses isang buwan. Just show your face. Hindi 'yung puro si Zig ang pumupunta. (Pause) Mahina ang katawan ni Mama. Alam mo 'yun. Don't make it too hard on her.
Hannah :
I just want to see Papa.
Henny :
Mama just wants to see you.
Hannah :
(Sighs) I get it.
Henny :
Magigising na ang mga pamangkin mo. Be here on Saturday.
Hannah :
Okay.
Call ended.
