M: Oh my God! Ang takaw ko! Ayoko na! *drops the piece of pork on a fork that she was about to eat, pouts*

R: *looks at M from across the table* Bakit, Love? Okay lang yan. Natural na gugutumin ka kasi naggi-gym ka na ngayon. You burn more calories.

M: Yun na nga. Di naman na ako gutom. I just want to eat and eat and eat kahit busog na ako. Nailamon ko na ata yung five times ng na-burn kong calories. I feel so bloated.

R: Okay lang yan. Payat ka pa din naman, Love.

M: Kaso I don't feel good na. *pouts, sobs*

R: Halaaah... Bakit ka umiiyak? *rushes towards M and hugs her, kisses her temple and gently strokes her hair*

M: I don't know and emotional ko lang today. *sniffles*

R: Magkakaroon ka na ba?

M: *thinks* Dapat. I think two days delayed kaya siguro ganito ako.

R: Susmaryosep! Love!

M: Aray! Ano?! Sigawan daw ba ako sa tenga? *frowns, pushes R away*

R: Sorry. Sorry. Sorry. *presses a kiss on M's lips with each apology* Na-excite kasi ako, Love.

M: Saan? Sa dino? Hellooo... Ang sakit kaya. Ikaw na lang mag-regla. *pouts*

R: Hindi yun, Love. *puts his hands on M's shoulders and turns her to face him* Di ba? Feeling bloated ka... matakaw... emo... delayed... Love! Baka eto na!

M: Ang ano? Nakakainis na ah.

R: This is it! Naka-jackpot na tayo! May Thirdy ka na diyan! *beams*

M: You think? Di ba dapat mafi-feel ko yun?

R: Malay natin ang buhay parang birthday party... full of surprises.

M: *laughs* Ewan ko sa'yo, Love. Dami mong alam. Pero what if nga... *thinks* Text natin si Ate? Gising pa yun? Pabili tayo ng kit? Kasi di naman ata pwedeng tayo ang bumili or si Mama Ten. Jusko! Headline tayo bukas nito.

R: Wag na. Meron ako sa backpack. Sandali. *grins, quickly kisses M's hand and runs to the bedroom*

M: *sits shocked and speechless with her mouth agape for a fews seconds before standing up to follow R* Wait. Bakit meron ka niya sa backpack mo?

R: For cases like this. I have five iba-ibang para sure. *grins, shows M the boxes* See?

M: *shakes her head* Paano kung may makakita niyan sa bag mo. Susmaryosep ka, RJ! Saan galing yan?

R: Pinabili ng kapatid ni Mama Ten sa pinsan ng pamangkin ng bilas niya para malayo nang ma-trace sa akin. *beams* Wala din makakakita niyan kasi nilagay ko dito sa pouch na binalot ko nitong black shirt na nasa pinakailalim ng bag ko.

M: *stares at R, opens her mouth to say something but just shakes her head in disbelief* Hindi ka naman excited noh? Di ka prepared eh. *chuckles as R hands her two boxes*

R: Hindi talaga. *laughs and guides M who is still processing what's happening to the bathroom* Samahan ba kita, Love?

M: Ano ba? Kaya ko na to. *sighs* Nate-tense ako sa excitement mo. Dun ka sa sala. Wiwiwian ko lang to tapos sabay nating hihintayin. Okay?

R: Sure?

M: Oo. Kulit. Labas na! *pushes R to the door*
