I Can't Make You Love Me

Vic: oh, bakit ka nandito?

Camille: bakit sayo na lang ba tong dorm ngayon?

===

Camille: No Cams, don't ask her that. No no nooo. Are you in love with her?

Carol: w-what?

Camille: you don't want me to repeat it, do you?

Hindi muna sya nakasagot agad.

Carol: *flat tone* No.

Camille: No, you don't want me to repeat it or no, you're not...in love with her?

Carol: andami mong tanung (tumalikod na sya at aalis pero nahawakan sya ni Camille)

Camille: alam mo kung bakit ang complicated na ng sitwasyon? Kasi no one seems to know how to say...wait let me rephrase that, no one wants to say upfront what they really feel. Alam ko mahirap, but sometimes you just have to. If you can't admit it to the person yet, at least admit it to yourself.

Humarap si Carol kay Camille.

Carol: *laughs* anong sinasabi mo? (sumeryoso) Hindi. AKo. In. Love. Sa. Kanya!

Camille: then why are you acting like that?

Carol: acting like what?

Camille: that.

Carol:*sigh* because I love...her, I mean not the love "love", gets? No? K. Get over it.

Camille: infatuation?

Carol: Nope. I'm not even infatuated with her.

Camille: Platonic love?

Carol: UUUGGGHH CAMILLE! Why do we have to put labels on everything? Bat di na lang dahil kaibigan ko sya kaya concern ako sakanya?

Camille: magkaibigan din naman kami at concern din ako pero di naman....i mean iba....

Carol: okay, if I'm going to label her or what she meant in my life I'll say, home! I found home in her. The day that I met her, the day she came into my life it's like...it's like everything I've lost don't seem to matter anymore.

Camille:

Carol: it's late, aakyat na ko. Matulog ka na din. Goodnight Cams. (umalis na)

Camille: but isn't that what love is? Isn't that what love supposed to make you feel? Home. (bulong nito)

===

Vic: sa tingin mo di tayo mapapagalitan pag nalamang umiinom tayo dito sa dorm?

Camille: sa tingin mo okay lang? syempre mapapagalitan tayo hahaha yun ay KUNG malalaman nila *grins* cheers

Vic: haha oohh bat naiiyak ka na?

Camille: Di ah. (sabay punas sa mata nya)

Vic: intindihin mo na lang si Carol. *pats Camille's back*

===

Sinundan pa rin sya ni Camille hanggang sa room nya.

Camille: Carol

Carol: my home was a wreck. Kung tutuusin I'm homeless, I mean I have a house but I don't have a home. Basta gets mo na yun. (she smiled but you can see the sadness in her eyes)
