WACKS
Hahahaha.
WACKS
May picture tayo nu'ng Grade 6.
Hanapin ko, pakita ko sa 'yo.
YLA
. . . Okay.
WACKS
Ay, binigyan din yata kita ng picture natin dati.
Naka-polaroid 'yun. Ta's may nakalagay
na "purin" na naka-pentel pen sa baba.
YLA
Okay. Wait. Oo nga.
Ikaw 'yun!
YLA
Si Purin! Hahaha.
Wacks couldn't hide his amusement when he heard Yla's laugh. This is the very first time he saw her smile after months.
WACKS
Tanda mo na?
Ako 'yung nilalait-lait mo dati e.
YLA
Hindi ah.
Kamukha mo naman talaga si Purin.
WACKS
Haha.
Bestie nga tayo nu'n e.
'Yung polaroid na nasa 'kin may
nakalagay naman yatang "kuromi"
sa baba.
Ikaw pa nga nagsulat nu'n.
WACKS
Ay.
E 'di kamukha mo pala si Kuromi?
Sabagay, lagi ring galit mukha
nu'n e—aray!
WACKS
Biro lang e. Hahaha.
YLA
Hahanapin ko talaga 'yung picture natin.
'Pag wala, nagsisinungaling ka.
WACKS
Hahaha. Okay po.
WACKS
Pasok ka na sa loob. Naghihintay na si
Kenzo sa 'yo oh.
Wacks gave Kenzo a salute who is now standing in the door.
YLA
Okay . . .
YLA
Thanks.
Sa paghatid.
Wacks bites his inside cheek to prevent himself from smiling.
WACKS
Sige.
Good night, miss shy type.
Yla walks toward the gate and turns her back to meet his eyes once again.
YLA
Good night.
And . . .
YLA
Ingat.
Wacks wiggles his eyebrow and waves his hand before walking away.
He then let out his big-big smile that he stifled a while ago, feeling ever-so-happy that Yla finally called him "purin" after years of not hearing it.
