Gabriel: Talaga lang ha. Hahaha

Maureen: Bully. Umuwi na lang tayo.

Gabriel: No I'm sorry.

Maureen: Nakakainis kasi, kung aasarin mo lang din ako 'wag na dito. Mapapahiya lang ako.

Gabriel: Sorry na nga eh. Halika na ikot ikot tayo.

Maureen: Bahala ka. 'Wag kang hahawak sakin ha.

Gabriel: Sorry na nga kasi.

Maureen: Che! Manahimik ka diyan.

Maureen: Is it pretty? Bagay ko?

Gabriel: O-oo bagay, maganda sayo.

Maureen: Hindi ka naman nakatingin.

Gabriel: Tinignan ko na bagay nga po. You want that?

Maureen: No. Pricey.

Gabriel: Medium ka lang naman 'di ba? Sige ikot ikot ka pa diyan.

Maureen: Okay.

Without Mau knowing, Gabriel bought that dress for her.

Gabriel: Ano pa?

Maureen: H-huh?

Gabriel: Wala ikot ka lang. Hindi tayo lalabas dito ng wal- wait. I-is that Lucas?

Maureen: H-huh? B-busy daw siya sa work eh. Saan ba?

Gabriel: That guy oh.

Maureen: S-siya nga, kapal ng mukha. Busy sa work ah? Halika samahan mo 'ko.

Gabriel: H-huy saglit. Ah miss salamat ah.

Habang papalapit kami unti unti kong nakikita ang pag h-holding hands nila. What the? Nakakapag mall sila samantalang kami hindi? Work daw.

B-bakit hindi ako masyadong nasasaktan? Is it because i'm with the man that I trully love? No.

Maureen: Hi..

Lucas: H-hell- oh.

Girl: Sino siya, love?

Maureem: Ah love? Eh kung sabihin ko sayong boyfriend ko 'yang kahawak mo?

Girl: H-huh? No he's mine.

Lucas: m-Mau please let me explain?

Maureen: You don't need to. I'm with Gabriel naman. Don't you worry wala kaming relasyon, clingy lang talaga bestfriend ko. Nagtataguan pa rin kasi kami ng feelings but now mukhang hindi na kailangan. Hindi rin naman ako masyado nasasaktan kasi hindi ko naman naramdaman yung pagmamahal mo. I'm happy with him, here's your promise ring oh. I don't need this anymore.

Lucas: Love.

Maureen: Love mo mukha mo, halika na, baba.

Gabriel: Hey kalma.

Maureen: I'm okay. I asked myself nga rin kung bakit hindi ako masyadong nasasaktan eh, maybe you're here kasi kaya ganun?

Gabriel: Tapang tapangan ka na naman sakin. Of course nasasaktan ka rin kahit ganun, pinaka masakit 'yan eh. Cheating. But I'm here naman to help you to ease that pain. Kahit kaunti sana makatulong ako, I'm always here Sam.

Maureen: Thank you so much. Tara ikot pa tayo, okay lang ako.

Gabriel: You're not. Hahaha tara sa house mo na lang tayo. Shot?

Maureen: You sure? Sasamahan mo 'ko?

Gabriel: Of course. With Pen and David?

Maureen: No. Just the two of us please?

Gabriel: Okay sure.

~

Maureen: Ang gago niya! Binigay ko naman lahat siya nga 'tong napakalaki ng pagkukulang tapos siya pa may lakas ng loob na mag cheat? The hell?

Gabriel: I really really don't know what to say. Sorry.

Maureen: Hey you don't need to. That's okay, nandito ka lang ayos na.

Gabriel: Mag beer tayo para mas masaya or kaya tequila? What do you think?

Maureen: Tequila. Pero gusto ko yung salt sayo galing.

Gabriel: Hahahah style mo 'to before ha.

Maureen: Hahaha thank you, puge. Or should I call you baba?

Gabriel: Anything will do, Sam.

Maureen: Yehey! Thank you, baba.

I kissed his cheek ang hug him very tight.

Sorry for letting you go before, puge.

Gabriel: Umiiyak ka na naman.

Maureen: I'm just happy because you're here with me after all of what happened in our lives. Ni-let go na kita before at ayoko na maulit 'yun. Mahirap na nga talaga humanap ng kagaya mo. You don't need to court me, baba. I love you but I'm willing to wait for you I know nabibigla ka. Iniisip mo pinananakip butas kita but no. Kami pa ni Lucas iniisip na kita.

Gabriel: Aw, I love you but hayaan mo muna mag heal 'yang sarili mo okay? I'm always here.

Maureen: Thank you.

Gabriel: No problem. Anything for you, uhm nga pala pupunta ako ng US.

Maureen: Baba, about diyan tayo nagkahiwalay before eh.

Gabriel: This time wala ng dahilan pa para magkahiwalay, I wanna visit Kendra lang naman. Pwede ka sumama if gusto mo.

Maureen: No. Dito na lang ako. B-bakit mo ba bibisitahin si Kendra?

Gabriel: W-wala lang.

Maureen: Okay. But is that okay kung ako naman? Pwedeng sa susunod na si Kendra?

Gabriel: Clingy, Sam.

Maureen: Please? Hindi ko pa kaya mag isa ulit eh. Gusto ko sana ikaw kasama ko.

Gabriel: Of course. Sure.

Maureen: Thank you, baba. Love you.

I sit on his lap and I give him a peck of kiss.

Maureen: I love you.

Gabriel: Yes.

Maureen: I said I love you, baba.

Gabriel: Hahahaha I love you more.
