Miya
Teka, Drine. Isusukat ko.
Aldrine assists Miya with taking off her top and putting on the duster dress.
Miya
May ribbons 'yan sa balikat. Patali.
Miya
Ganda ba?
Aldrine
Ang ganda, Mi. Puwede ka na du'n, o.
Aldrine points to the glass windows.
Miya
Hindi 'to kurtina!
Aldrine
Ah, hindi ba?
Aldrine grins at her and tightens the hug.
Miya
Wala na bang mas magandang comment?
Aldrine
Marami.
It's just that . . . they're mostly inappropriate at this hour.
Miya
Tsk. Manahimik ka na lang pala.
Aldrine (laughs)
E, kaya nga . . . .
Miya gets up and stands directly in front of the mirror. She spins around. Aldrine indulges in the view.
Miya
Bagay ba sa 'kin?
Aldrine
Sobra.
Miya returns to Aldrine, satisfied and smiling. She stands in front of him with arms over his shoulders.
Aldrine's gaze rises to meet hers, his hands on her waist.
Miya
Sa tingin mo ba, bagay pa rin 'to sa 'kin kapag malaki na 'yung tiyan ko?
Aldrine
Kahit ano pa 'yan, Mi.
Kahit malaki na 'yung tiyan—
Aldrine
Miya.
