REGINA: Anak gusto mo ba talaga akong mapagalitan ng Tita mo? Sige na please kumain ka na oh.

LIZA: Thaniaaaaaaa!!! *Sigaw mula sa baba*

REGINA: See? She's calling you na. Dali na anak please kumain ka na.

THANIA: I'm not going out until you're going with me.

LIZA: *Kumatok* Thaniaa!! What time is it ‘di ka ba kakain ha?!

REGINA: I told you. Ako na naman pagdidiskitahan niyan eh *bulong nito*

THANIA: Tita, I cannot come with you po. Mommy is sick, so I'll be staying with her. I'll be taking care of my Mom po. I'm sorry.

LIZA: Tita na lang tawag mo sa'kin anak ah. Herminio will be the one to took care of Regina. Eat your breakfast and get dressed. We need to go na. Dali! I'll give you 15 mins to prepare. And your time starts now.

THANIA: I'll be right back Mom *bulong nito at lumabas na ng kwarto* But Tita, Mommy is sick, I want to take good care of her. It's my responsibility to take care of my Mom. You can go with your friends. I'm really sorry Tita. I have to stay with my Mom. I need to take good care of her.

LIZA: You know naman na aalis na ako tomorrow right? Why don't you spend your time with me? Makakasama mo naman siya palagi eh. Ako, baka di na tayo magkikita ulit.

THANIA: I'll be seeing you on Mommy and Daddy's wedding, on my graduation. You're coming right?

LIZA: I can't promise you anak.

THANIA: But why? You've promise me already, before?

LIZA: If you want me to fulfill that promise, you need to go with me today and spend all your time with me. With me only, no distractions.

THANIA: I'm sorry Tita. But I'm staying Mommy's side. She needs me more than you need me. She's sick and I should take care of her. I'm really sorry Mommy *pumasok sa kwarto ng mag-asawa*

LIZA: *sumunod kay Thania* Can you please let us talk? Just the two of us? Bumaba ka na muna at kumain.

THANIA: I'm staying with my Mom po.

LIZA: Please? Just a minute.

THANIA: *tiningnan si Regina*

REGINA: *tumango bilang sagot*

THANIA: I'll be back Mom, okay? *Lumabas na ng kwarto at nagtungong kusina*

LIZA: Ano na naman pinagsasabi mo sa anak ko ha at biglang nag-iba ang desisyon?! Nagsasakit sakitan 'te para di iwan ni Thania? Stop the act Regina.

REGINA: Ate nandito ka na naman ba para awayin ako? Wala naman po akong sinasabi sa anak ko eh. At tsaka hindi naman po ako nagsasakit sakitan eh. Kahit naman may sakit ako papayagan ko naman siya sumama eh. Hindi ko na desisyon ang hindi niya pagsama, desisyon niya 'yon Ate. Kung aawayin mo lang naman ako, pwede ka na po umalis.

LIZA: At tsaka huwag ka ngang masyadong pabebe kay Herminio! Nakakadiri ka!
