INT. STUDIO — EARLY MORNING
Ariadne is sitting in the same radio booth with Violet. They are waiting for an OPM song to finish playing before they speak again.
ARIADNE
Good morning, Serendiptians! That's "Heart of Mine" by Side A for our Flashback Friday.
VIOLET
DJ Violet here! For our listeners, don't forget to take care and drive safely if you are in your cars. And here's a reminder that we're closer to the weekend pero acads muna bago ang lakads!
ARIADNE
And I'm DJ Aria, reminding that you are tuned in to 26.0 FM. Please don't switch stations as we take you back with the songs that we will be playing for today!
VIOLET
For the next song, para 'to sa mga takot harapin ang katotohanan ng mga bagay na kailangan nang matapos. Here's "Wag Mong Aminin" by Rico Blanco.
Violet plays the song. She turns off her microphone and Ariadne's. They both remain quiet as the song plays in the background.
Pwede bang maawa ka sa'kin?
'Wag mo naman diretsuhin
Patalim na alam kong parating ♪
VIOLET
Okay ka lang?
ARIADNE
Huh? Oo naman.
Ariadne tries to give a weak smile. Violet notices that she is faking it.
Kung pag-ibig sa 'kin
Ay mamamaalam
'Wag mong aminin ♪
VIOLET
What happened?
ARIADNE
Nothing...
VIOLET
I don't like repeating myself, Aria. What happened?
ARIADNE
Tigil. Layo...
Kung okay lang naman
Kung hindi masyadong hassle
Baka pwedeng pagbigyan
Pagbigyan, pagbigyan ♪
Kukunot ang noo ni Violet. Malayo ang tingin ni Ariadne, susubukang itago ang basa na pisngi galing sa ilang luha na kanina pa pinipigilang lumabas.
VIOLET
I don't get it.
ARIADNE
Sabi ni Dionysus, I should stay away.
VIOLET
You should. Ano pa bang gusto mo sa kanya?
ARIADNE
Siya mismo.
VIOLET
What?
ARIADNE
I miss him, Vi. Bawal ba?
Gustong sisihin ni Violet ang kaibigan. It was her fault. Sino ba namang tanga ang hindi ka itutulak palayo kung hindi naman siya ang pinili nito? Pero naawa siya kay Ariadne. She is crying and she is trying to hide it.
VIOLET
Hindi na pwede, mami. Magkaiba na kayo ng mundo.
Violet gives her a hug. Ariadne finally breaks down on her shoulder, with her unspoken regret.
