The cold air from the AC is making Lisa's nose quite stuffy. The scent of sandalwood and salt combined with fresh brioche spreading throughout their hotel room, smelling like the ocean breeze in full moon evening.

Lisa wiggled her body inside the blanket. Feeling the soft, white fabric underneath her.

"I'm so tired..." Hannah muttered, Laying beside her.

It's already 12 A.M. when they got back to their hotel rooms. They took a while to get back since Dina and Mark invited them to watch the sundown then the four of them chatted for about five more hours, making the most of their stay.

Lisa turned her head around her. "Do you wanna sleep na?"

"Nah... I kinda wanna stay up for a little bit more"

Their room is quite spacious and it has two large beds enough to fit four people. It makes Lisa feel anxious sleeping alone in a large bed, so the both of them decided to just sleep on one bed.

And now they're huddled in one bed, sharing the same blanket and staring at the white ceiling with dimmed lights surrounding them.

"Okay then let's chat for a bit"

"What should we talk about?" Hannah asked, Turning her head towards Lisa.

"Let's just ask each other random questions" Lisa chuckled at her.

"Like anong favorite number mo sa electric fan?"

Lisa laughed out loud. "Oh this is weird. Pero alam mo nung bata ako gusto ko maging electric fan kasi akala ko. For some reason yung electric fan is Astronaut"

Hannah laughed at her statement. "That's cute. Well... what are you planning to take in college?"

Lisa then slightly tilt her head to side. "I'll probably take PolSci. Then study Law. I've always wanted to be a lawyer"

"Talaga? Edi parang same pala tayo" Hannah said, lifting her body slightly, looking at Lisa.

"You want to be a lawyer too?" Lisa asked her, their eyes meeting.

"No. I want to be an Architect" Hannah said slumping her back again on the bed.

Lisa looked at her in confusion. "Then why are you taking up PolSci?"

"My Dad wants me to. So that I take up after him, you know being a politician and all" Hannah explained.

"Oh... Did you try to talk to him about taking up Architecture?" Lisa asked.

"Yeah a lot of times, he always tells me to throw that dream away" Hannah then closed her eyes then continued, "So... I guess I'll just forget that dream of mine and bury it elsewhere"

"You can't do that. It's your dream and no one should tell you what you should become" Lisa explained to her.

Hannah chuckled at her. "My Dad wants me to be a President since he lost the last Presidential election. Silly right? Putting his dreams on my shoulder"

Lisa then sat up. "If you really want to be An Architect then you have to fight for that dream. You can't just give up on it so easily!"

Hannah inhaled deeply, "I can't do that. My Dad gave me an Ultimatum: Either I become a politician and be a President and fulfill my Father's dream or... he would cut me off and I'll be a failure" Hannah laughed in a bitter tone. "Parental pressure. Gotta love it"
