The Art of Detachment (Book 1)

10:47 AM, Saturday, Sidewalk, Ext.

Saan mo gustong mag-lunch?

Ewan ko, gusto ko lang ng fries.

Hindi ka na naman kumakain ng ayos.

Pagkain 'yun.

Maine.

What? Sabi ko, gusto ko lang ng fries. It doesn't mean na fries lang kakainin ko - yan! MagMcdo na lang tayo.

Unhealthy.

Whatever you say, Alden. Tara na, sayang oras!

Ako na pipila. What do you want?

Whatever, basta maraming fries. Sige, chicken na lang. Bahala ka na. You know what I want.

I haven't talked to you in three years. Paano kung nagbago na gusto mo?

Don't worry; hindi pa.

Ako pa rin?

Chicken pa rin. Asado 'teh?

Nambobola lang.

Korni mo. 'Wag kang magpaparami ha?

Gago, kailangan ako ng world.

Maraming Alden? I don't think so.

Harsh. Humanap ka na ng upuan. Pakidala na rin 'tong tripod.

Sure.

Okay na ba 'tong order ko?

Yup, tama lang.

Unahin mo 'yung kanin!

Chill, Alden! Pine-prepare ko lang 'yung fries?!

Hay.

And girl, the order doesn't matter? Lahat naman 'to mage-end up sa tiyan ko?

Pointless talagang makipag-away sa'yo.

But you always let me win because you love me, right?

Loved.

Uy, gumaganti.

But did you like the answers?

Our answers? Dramatic, parang rejected screenplay. Don't you think our story is just... one, big screenplay that didn't make it to the big screen?

Maybe. Lahat naman ng buhay ng mga tao pwedeng isapelikula.

Ooh, there's your artsy self talking! I love it! 

Artsy self ko lang?

Okay, the whole you rin.

Talaga?

Hopia ka na naman, koya? Ay, na-siblingzoned ba kita? Sorry.

Gago.

Why are you using my phone? Wala ka bang iyo?!

Nagcha-charge pa, I'm too lazy to get it from my backpack. Magsesearch ako ng pwedeng next location natin. Hm, walang password.

Never ako nag-password.

Nag-password ka nu'n. A month before we broke up. Isa nga 'yun sa mga rason. I felt like you were hiding something from me.

Gaga! Nasa bahay kasi si Matti nu'n tapos he likes to play with Ate's phone, then pinapakialaman din 'yung akin. Who knows what he could do with my phone? He could delete all the files in my gallery and I can't be mad at him because he's a kid!

'Yun.. ba?

Anong 'yun ba?

'Yun lang ba ang rason kung bakit ka naglagay ng password?
