Aera, can we talk?

About that incident yesterday. Can you, at least, hear me out?

Please, babe.

Aera
I didn't mind it, don't worry.

I'm not yours to get hurt, right?

Rowan
Aera...

Aera
Let's just stop this kind of setup. You can do whatever you want and so I do. Pwede kang mag-date at makipahalikan sa mga babae, wala akong pake.

Rowan
Aera, please listen to me and let me explain.

Aera
Ano ba Rowan? You don't have to, naiintindihan ko.

I'm just a 'just' to you, 'diba?

Rowan
No, you're fcking wrong. Hindi ka lang basta 'just' na nangyari sa buhay ko.

You lighten up my whole life at ikaw ang nagbigay sa akin ng dahilan to continue my life. Hindi ka lang basta-bastang babae sa buhay ko na daraan lang. I want you to stay with me, forever.

Aera

Rowan
Hear my explanations, okay?

At the secret place that you always spend time at, after your class. I'll wait.

Aera
How'd you know that?

Rowan
Told yah, I have connections.
