Masters of War

XVII.

EXT. OLYMPUS, PARKING — 10:30 PM

So, the Juno is Hera... huh? Smart. The Roman equivalent, I see.

I told you my real name is Hera when we met personally! Don't act like you're only hearing it now.

Oh, maybe I wasn't listening.

At least I don't have a lame fake name. Sky? Huh! Why? Because Zeus is the god of sky? Lame!

At bakit mo ako pinapunta rito? After acting inside the club like you don't know me at all?

First, I don't really intend for you to know my real name. And why are you acting offended that I'm not interested in knowing yours? That's the point of hookups.

Second, we need to talk.

For someone who told me that it was his first hookup, you act so professional about this.

It was my first.

After all of the lies? How am I supposed to believe that, huh? Fake name, fake masters. Oh and wait, truly an Athenean but not from the one in Katipunan. You're an Athenean law student from Rockwell.

I don't owe you the truth, Hera. We were two consenting strangers and adults when we first met. We both knew what we were getting into.

You don't get it.

I don't? It seems like it's the other way around. You're the one who does not get this. You see, this is why I never wanted you to know things about me. It complicates the setup. And why are you being so worked up that I lied?

'Cause I told you my truths, Zeus!

I never forced anything from you.

Then why are we here? Why are we hiding!? What do you want from this? Talk ba talaga? Makeout? Ano, tikiman? Like I'm your cheap dirty secret na itinatago mo!?

Woah, Hera! Chill! Where is all that coming from!? Cheap dirty secret?

Am I not?

No! And please, I just want to talk, okay? To clear things up.

Bakit, magulo ba!?

Wait, okay, listen. I just want what happened between us to be private.

Why?

I... shit. Look, Hera... the things is...

What!? Just get to the point already!

I have a girlfriend.

Tang ina, tang ina! And I thought the lying couldn't get worse! How dare you make me an instrument of cheating! You're an asshole!

Hera, don't walk away, please. Let's talk.

Talk? Putang ina, Zeus! Insulto, insulto lang napala ko! Ginawa mo akong side chick! And pwede ba? Mag-Tagalog ka! Nasa Pilipinas tayo!

Hera, wait!

Tantanan mo ako! Masarap ka lang, gago ka. But you're a sin that I unwillingly committed. It's not worth it.
