Ano nagkita ba kayo?

Jonas
[rushing wind. low, throaty voice] Yes, nakita ko siya.

August
Wait where the fuck are you? Nagmamaneho ka ba? Naka-motor ka?

Jonas
Naka-in ear piece 'to [car honk. whistle. rough voice.] Hindi naman ako tanga.

August
Then why does your voice sound like that?

Jonas
[Bitterly laughs] I found out why she doesn't want anyone knowing anything about us.

August
Ano?

Jonas
She's in a relationship with someone else. [gasps. throaty laugh.] I saw her and Cloud. Hugging. Sa loob ng coffee shop.

August
Magkayakap lang, sila na agad? I thought you said you knew her—

Jonas
I thought I did! You didn't see what I saw, August. [voice breaks, sobs] putangina bakit ba ko umiiyak?

Jonas
Sabi niya makukuha ko sagot niya at midnight, tonight. Looks like I got my answer early.

August
[Low voice] tangina. Huminto ka nga muna, don't do anything rash, pupuntahan kita.

Jonas
Gago anong tingin mo sa'kin? Di naman ako—shit! [car honks. screams. loud crash.]

August
PUTANGINA. JONAS? JO—

[Clicks. Call ends.]
