"O bakit maga yang mata mo?"

"..."

"Teka lang, RJ, ang higpit ng yakap. Bakit? Anong nangyari?"

"..."

"RJ?"

"Payakap lang muna, love."

"What happened, RJ?"

"Ang bigat nong eksena sa The Gift, love. Ang hirap kumawala."

"Halika, maupo ka diyan, wait ka lang."

"Saan ka pupunta?"

"Wait lang, may kukunin lang."

"..."

"..."

"Here, drink ka muna ng tubig, namamaos ka, ano ba ginawa mo sa shooting? Nagsisigaw ka ba aside from crying?"

"You're right. I am shouting the whole time."

"Ano ba yang scene na yan? Sorry di ko na nasundan ang The Gift, minsan may shoot tapos minsan, busy din, and I'd rather spend time with you than being on tv. Hayaan mo magbi-binge watch ako soon. Malapit na matapos di ba?"

"Yes, isang shooting day nalang. Yong kanina was a torture scene, ang bigat. Masakit, hanggang ngayon dala ko pa din, kahit mabilis naman akong kumakawala sa character, pero ito iba ang dating."

"What's it all about? May nag trigger niyan. Here, let me put this in your eyes. Close mo muna eyes mo, love."

"Is that an eye cream?"

"Yes. Para di mamaga masyado yang mata mo."

"Thank you, love."

"You're welcome, sige continue your story. Hindi pwedeng di natin i-discuss yan, ayokong dalhin mo yan pati sa pagtulog mamaya."

"I was tortured infront of my mom, and Javier captured my other mom, so it is between choosing who to save—my biological mother or my adoptive mother. I have to choose one."

"Go on..."

"Ang bigat niya love, I wish I have a chance to choose, then—if I'll be able to save my mom from her deathbed or this path of fame I am now. You know the feeling of being helpless? That you wanted to give your life to someone, but it isn't possible? Naisip ko nga, if pinapili lang sana ako ng Diyos noon, my mom? or being this big in showbiz? In a heartbeat love, I'd choose my mom."

"..."

"I miss her so much, love. Pero wala na siya para sana makita niya lahat ng ito."

"..."

"Love, I am sorry, bakit ka umiiyak? I am sorry."
