M: *yawns as she answers R's FaceTime call, lying on her side and leaning her phone against a pillow beside her as if talking to her husband face to face like they would do each night* Hello, Love. Nakauwi ka na?

R: *stretches and plops down on the bed, holding his phone up with an outstretched arm* Kakauwi lang po. Ang ganda mo naman. *smiles at the fresh faced M, with her disheveled hair fanned out on the pillow with her bare shoulder from her tank top peeking above the blanket*

M: Eh siyempre naman. Ang gwapo ng asawa ko eh. *grins

R: Bakit hindi ka pa natutulog? *traces the outline of her face on his phone screen*

M: Hinihintay kita. Alam mo namang hindi ako makatulog nang hindi ka nakikita. *smiles then frowns when she notices something* Are you lying on our bed while still in your clothes from work?

R: Uhmmm... *covers his face with his hand*

M: Anong uhmmm? Alam mo ba kung gaano kadaming dumi ang inakyat mo sa kama natin? Tayo! Hubad! Ligo!

R: Hay naku naman! Susmaryosep! Beastmode agad. Eto na po. *hurriedly stands up and places his phone on the bed then removes his shirt*

M: Wait!

R: *picks up his phone and looks at M* Bakit, Love?

M: I want to see. *bites her lip and smirks*

R: Uuuuy... *grins giddily* Ikaw, misis ha? *licks his lips, smoulders* Teka nga. Sa banyo tayo. Let's go!

R: So? Did you enjoy the show? *smirks as he lies on his side of the bed, placing his phone on a pillow beside him where M would usually lie down*

M: *giggles* Sakto lang. Kulang sa giling. *laughs*

R: Hoy! Ginalingan ko kaya. Ikaw nga diyan napakadaya mo, nakahiga ka lang diyan at nanood. *pouts* Hindi man lang ako nakasilip.

M: Anong hindi? May nakita ka kaya.

R: Taas lang. Bitin! Napakatamad kumilos. *pouts*

M: *laughs* Bawi ka na lang.

R: Babawi talaga ako. Kala mo lang.

M: Eh sa super pagod na ako, Love. Grabe kaya yung adventure ko ngayong buong araw. Kita mo di ba yung ginawa kong pamumundok at spelunking? Biruin mo yun.

R: Oo nga. Kayang-kaya mo pala mga ganyan eh. Na-enjoy mo din. Sa susunod tayo namang dalawa ulit. Matagal-tagal na din yung huli nating ganoon. Madalian pa kasi takas lang. Last year pa yun.

M: Oo nga. Balik tayo dito or mag-explore naman tayo ng ibang lugar sa Pilipinas. Ang saya.

R: Yes, Love. Gagawin natin yan. *smiles* Bukas ba ganoon ulit activities niyo?

M: Di ko pa alam, Love. Bukas nang maaga sasabihin sa akin.

R: Okay. Basta ganoon ulit ha? Gaya ng bilin ko kanina. Dress comfortably, wear sturdy and comfortable shoes na pwede itawid kahit sa basa. Make sure you're properly hydrated. Mag-sumbrero to protect your head from sun or rain tapos yung insect repellent wag na wag kakalimutan.

M: Opo. I remember everything po.

R: Good. *sighs* Miss na miss na kita. Uwi na.

M: Malapit na. Miss na miss na din kita. Sobra. *sighs*

R: Ang galing noh? Dati, wala talaga akong kahilig-hilig sa beach eh. Mas gusto kong mag-swimming sa pool o mamundok pero dahil sa'yo I learned to love the ocean. Tapos ikaw naman, rich kid...
