"Nang. Halatang masaya ka ah"

"Opo. Ngayon mo lang ako pinag-luto ng hotdog nay, tinitipid mo ba ako?"
"Anak naman, paborito kasi yan"
"Ni Zhaira? Aliw na aliw ka talaga sa kanya ah"
"Bakit ikaw hindi ba?"
"Pfft. hindinoh"
"Talagaba?"
Zhaira interrupted and sat across him. Zachary can't remove his eyes on her, wearing his mother's dress.
"Huy!!!" She snapped a finger on his face
"ang gandang bata talaga kahit naka-daster ano?
"Psst. Maganda daw ako?"
She teases Zach as she slowly slides her body on the bench closer to him and leans her head on his shoulder.
"pff. Para kanglumulutangnakurtina"
"ANO?????"
"Oh, tamanayan! Ke-aga aga eh nag-aaway sa harapan ng pag-kain"
"Kasi yang anakniyo"
"Kasi yang paboritoniyo"
Zhaira pierced her fork on a plate with only one hotdog left.
"Oh hotdog koyan!!!"
"Eh bakit gutom ako?"

Eats their bread while staring fiercely at each other.
While cooking, Rosa keeps staring at Zachary and Zhaira whose simply kicking each others foot. Sudden memories hit her, the two never changed ever since the day they first met.
"Hay kayong dalawa. Ang saya ng puso ko, ang makita kayong ganito. Magkasamaulit"
They look at each other, still biting their breads stood up to embrace Rosa.
"Hayy hayaan niyo na ako. Syempre ang nanang niyo tumatanda na, masaya at nakita ko mga alaga ko ngayon"
Teary eyed Rosa, was full of joy seeing her son and Zhaira together. It's been years since she started praying to see them together again. Since Zach and Zhaira were little, caring or hating each other, Rosa has seen the possibility of them, ending up each other.
"Oh siya, kumain na kayo.'
"Wag nang iyak iyak ng ganyan nang"
"oo nga po nang, kakadating ko lang oh"
