"Girl, okay ka lang?" Ton sent Riki a private message while they were on video conference.
Riki had dark circles around her eyes and she kept on yawning. In fact, she had excused herself to "leave" the chat thrice in the last hour.
"Huh?"
"Are you okay? Mukha kang raccoon."
"Anong raccoon?"
"Girl! Bakit ka napupuyat?"
"Sinong puyat?"
"Si Gil Puyat! But better known as Buendia"
"Nasa Makati ka?"
"Ano? Sinong nasa Makati?"
"Ikaw. Sabi mo Buendia. Anong ginagawa mo sa Buendia?"
"Ikaw tong malabo e..."
"Ikaw rin..."
"Ay ewan ko sa yo" Ton's eyebrow rose while typing this. Riki giggled when she saw this on her screen.
"Yes Ms. Mendoza?" Mr. Rodriguez asked.
"Ah wala po, Sir." Riki shook her head and looked down.
"Ayan...ang kulit mo kasi"
"Ewan ko sa yo!" Ton replied and discreetly raised an eyebrow at Riki.

"Teacher Nyx!"

"Ah...it's a beautiful sunny day today. I'm just thinking of going out later"
"But you're supposed to stay inside the house because its karanteen"
"Quarantine...I'll just go to the roof top of my condo. I usually go there alone."
"Ah...like me and Clara, Mama let us play in the garden also but only in the garden. We cannot go out in the street..."
"Yup!"
"Teacher!"
"Yes?"
"What are you looking at ba? Can we see?"
