DIALOGUE
< MIYA'S CONDO UNIT,
Bedroom — 12:15 AM >
Aldrine sits across the empty space at the other side of the bed. He takes a series of deep inhales, as quietly as possible to avoid disturbing anyone who is sleeping at the time.
His gaze is drawn to the camcorder laying next the film camera first. Memories as fresh as a newly plucked orange stream through the back of his mind. Those are the same cameras he gave Miya years ago. The very same ones they used to capture moments with each other.
He lifts the camcorder up, holding it feels as if he were visiting an old home. Nostalgia strikes him in the chest, and he feels his heart softly crack open. He activates the camera and begins scanning its footages.
He pushes a button, and a video starts playing.
Aldrine
Ih.
Miya
Ih ka diyan?
Aldrine
Vini-videohan mo ako.
Miya
'Yung view 'yung kinukuhanan ko ng video.
Mag-drive ka lang diyan.
Aldrine turned to face Miya in the passenger seat, smiling briefly before returning his eyes to the road.
Aldrine
Ayos ba 'yung view?
Pogi ba?
Miya laughed quietly in the background.
Aldrine
'Yung view raw pero sa akin nakatutok?
Ang cute naman talaga.
Miya laughed once more. She transferred the lens on the view outside the window.
Miya (whispered)
Oo. Pogi.
