M: Thank you for tonight, Love. *smiles, hugs his arm and leans her head on R's shoulder*

R: Always welcome. *wraps his arms around her, kisses her temple* Enjoy ka sa party mamaya ha?

M: Sana dun ka kasama.

R: Yun naman ang hindi ko naipilit. Sorry, Love.

M: Don't be sorry. I know you're doing everything for me. Wag na kaya ako tumuloy?

R: Nakapagsabi ka nang pupunta eh. Okay lang sa akin promise. You need to hang out with other people once in a while. Pasamahan na lang kita. Ihahatid ka lang naman tapos hihintayin ka sa labas incase gusto mo na umuwi agad.

M: *nods her head* Sige. Ganoon na lang. Wala naman akong balak magtagal doon.

R: Okay. Enjoy ka doon pero ingat din. Di mo kilala lahat ng nandoon. At...

M: Hindi lahat nang kaharap mo totoo sa'yo. Hindi lahat nang nakangiti kaibigan. Opo. Alam ko na yun, Dy. *pulls him closer*

R: Good girl. *grins* Lagi naman. *rubs her arm up and down* I love you.

M: *looks up at him, smiles* I love you more.

R: I love you most. *pokes her nose and slowly inches his face closer to kiss her lips*

R: *calls M during a break from his shoot* Hello, Love. Kumusta diyan?

M: Eto, Love. Pauwi na ako maya-maya.

R: Agad? Ala una pa lang. Sure ka?

M: Yes, Love. Andito din pala kasi si ano.

R: Sinong ano?

M: Si pambansang classmate.

R: *scowls* Bakit? Anong ginawa?

M: Wala naman. In-approach lang yung group namin. Picture picture ganoon pero siyempre mahirap na. Alam mo naman yung iba, magiging issue na naman.

R: Buti pa nga umuwi ka na. Malapit na din naman kami matapos.

M: Kinakabahan ako.

R: Why? Nicomaine, tell me the truth. Anong ginawa sa'yo?

M: Wala naman nga. I just have a bad feeling. Parang weird kasi when he approached me, he asked for a selfie of us together. I said no siyempre mahirap na. Tapos bigla kinuhanan ako up close. Weird.

R: Totoo yan. You're not keeping anything from me just so I don't beat the crap out of that jerk?

M: Yun nga lang. *shrugs* It's just a photo and he's a friend. What can he do with that?

R: *sighs* Umuwi ka na nga.

M: Okay. Paalam lang ako. And I'll see you in?

R: You'll see me in a couple of hours, Love. Matulog ka na siguro.

M: No. I'll wait up. Parang gusto ko mg madaming yakap.

R: Yakap lang? *smirks*

M: Mahigpit na yakap.

R: Madaming mahigpit na yakap. Okay. Ihahanda ko na. *flexes his arm muscles* Yun lang?

M: Pwedeng may kiss din? *bites her lip*

R: Kiss? Susmaryosep! Pwedeng-pwedeng-pwedeng-pwede! *grins*

M: *giggles* Okay. See you, Love. I love you so much.

R: I love you more and more and more.

M: Oh my god! *gasps when she checks her phone when she wakes up the next day, bites her lip and covers her mouth as tears start brimming her eyes*

R: *yawns and stretches beside her, awakened by her reaction* Why? Anong nangyari? Love? *jolts up and rushes to collect her in his arms when he sees her sobbing, crying and shaking*
