Screaming.

HELP ME PLEASE!!!

Okay, calm down kid. Jusko bakit kasi nandito ka nasaan mga magulang mo.

Crying.

Alright! Alright. Calm down baby boy ha. I will catch you from here, but you have to be brave and let go of that rock you're holding okay?

Crying.

I'm so afraid! My hands are slipping!

Panicking.

Don't panic! Baby, I'm here, okay? I will not leave you, just let go and tita Jamie will catch you. 

Talagapo?

Yes, baby boy. Trust me. Now, let go.

Sasaluhin mo ako ah!

Yes, I will. I promise.

Let go.

AAHHHHHHHH!!!!!

Fell. Crying fearfully.

OUCH! Medyo mabigat ka pala.

Sorry po, sorry po tita.

Aw, stop crying na.

Nadagananko po kayo eh.

Wala yon, I need to catch you remember?

Pero nasaktan ka po.

Sus, wala to. Watch me, I will try... to.. stand... Aray!

Broken ankle.

Hala bakit po tita?

Crying.

I think I broke my ankle.

Sobbing.

Oh, naku baby stop crying na. This is nothing.

Nabalian ka ng paa dahil sa akin po eh. Paano ka po maglalakad niyan?

Sshh. Tama nayan okay? Madaling maibabalik ito sa dati, gagaling din si tita okay?

Hold his face.

What's your name baby boy?

Wipes his tears.

Addie po.

Okay Addie. Tita Jamie needs your help now so stop crying na ha?

What help po?

Crying.

I need you to be a man.

But I'm just a little boy.

Uhm, Yeah. A little man, I need you to be brave and help Tita Jamie to stand up and walk.

Sniffing.

Okay po tita Jamie.

Puts her arm over his shoulder. Walks.


Wind blows the waves.

Why are you even here Addie? Middle of the night, it's not right for a kid like you.

I am ten years old.

But still a kid.

How about you Ms. Jamie?

What?

Why are you here? You are a pretty lady. You shouldn't be out in a night like this too.

Okay, now kid, I am an adult.

But still a lady.

Amazedly stared at Addie.

Why do I hear my daughter's voice?

What?

Nothing. You're a smart kid. Now lets keep walking.
