(Rome holds a magazine showing Myco with his Leading Lady. She looks down, sad, eyes downcast, lips pressed tight. Myco sits close beside her gaze fixed only on her, warm and tender.)

ROME
(soft, quiet voice, looks away)
Paano kapag nalaman lahat na hindi kayo ng leading lady na ka'love team mo sa tv na mag jowa? at nalaman nilang ako
(looks down, hurt)

MYCO
(gently turns her face to him, soft warm smile appears)
Rome... sasabihin ko lahat ng totoo hindi lang sa ngayon tiis lang muna tayo ha? pangako hinding hindi mapapako ang pangako ko sayo na ikaw lang

(He holds her hand tight. Rome blinks, eyes wide in surprise, lips part slightly and didn't expect this.)

MYCO
(steady, sincere gaze, full of love)
Ako ang bituin na hinahangaan ng lahat. May Leading Lady ako sa harap ng kamera... pero ang puso ko? Para lang sa'yo, Rome Leira. Ikaw ang best friend ko... at ikaw lang ang mahal ko.

(Rome's face softens completely. Slow shy smile turns bright and happy. She squeezes his hand back. Golden light wraps them both.)
