Ruel
Babe, I'm really sorry.
I should've told you about my dad sooner.

Cadence
Hey, it's okay.
I understand, babe.
You're grieving.
You're still trying to process it.

Ruel
I don't really know how to feel about him passing away.
I don't even remember anything about him.
I only know how he looks like through old photos. I literally have no memories of him.

Cadence
And suddenly, you get the news of his death. Online, through a relative you've never even met. Kahit naman sino, mabibigla.

Ruel
Yeah. He's practically a stranger, but he's still my dad.
I wasn't planning on telling Juni either, pero nabanggit na pala sa kanya ni Ate.
She asked Juni to check on me.
And when Juni did... I just broke down.
I feel ashamed of it, to be honest.

Cadence
Bakit naman? Walang nakakahiya sa pagpapakita ng nararamdaman natin.
If this is about men and the stupid notion that they shouldn't cry... I call bullshit on that.
Real men cry, Ruel. Just like everyone else.

Ruel
I feel better now, though.
Thanks to you and Juni.

Cadence
That's good to hear.
But I know you're still not a hundred percent okay. Nandito lang ako. ❤️

Ruel
I know. Thank you.

Cadence
I love you.
And I'm really sorry about your dad.
You deserve a happy family, Ruel.

Ruel
I love you too, Cady.
I hope to have a happy family of my own someday. With you. 🙂

Cadence
❤️❤️❤️

Ruel
Go to sleep, babe.
It's late. Ayokong napupuyat ka.

Cadence
Will you be alright?
Baka kailangan mo pa ng kausap.

Ruel
I'll be fine.
Good night, babe.

Cadence
Okay.
Good night. 😘
