Call started.
Jenessy :
Hello, MM! Nasa bahay ka na?
Marcus :
Yes po. Kaka-lock ko pa lang ng pinto. (Footsteps echoing) Ikaw? Nasa kwarto ka na?
Jenessy :
Opo. Nagbabasa lang ng books mo kanina. (Yawns) Wag mo kalimutan ilagay sa ref yung dala mong pagkain a. Para may breakfast ka na bukas...
Marcus :
(Refrigerator door opening) (humming) Wait lang...
(Shuffling) (Glassware clinking) (shuffling)
Marcus :
There. I just did.
Jenessy :
Uh... (Breathes) Gusto mo ba ibaba muna yung call? Para ano... magawa mo muna yung gagawin mo?
Marcus :
(Chuckles) Ayoko nga. I want to hear your voice.
Jenessy :
(Breathes deeper) E kasi... Gising pa naman ako e. Magbibihis ka pa. Mag... (pauses) uh... Ano pa gagawin mo?
Marcus :
Maliligo.
Jenessy :
Naliligo ka bago matulog?
Marcus :
Uh... Pagkauwi ko, usually. (Pauses) Hindi rin naman ako nakakatulog agad dahil nag-aaral muna ako.
Jenessy :
A... (Giggles) Ang galing. Nice to know.
Marcus :
(Chuckles) Don't hesitate to ask anything about me from now on. (Lowers voice) I will tell you everything.
Jenessy :
(Inhales sharply) Okay...
Marcus :
Anong sabi ni Nanay pag-alis ko? Napagalitan ka? Nagalit ba?
Jenessy :
(Silence) Wala naman siyang sinabi e... Uhm... (Pauses) Ngumiti lang.
(Silence)
Jenessy :
Saka, ikaw raw... magsasabi? Ng pinag-usapan nyo kanina?
Marcus :
Talaga? Hm...
Jenessy :
(Lowers voice) Ano bang pinag-usapan nyo..? Bakit... hindi ako kasama? Uhm... (pauses) Pano mo sinabi sa kanya? Umiyak ba siya?
(Silence)
Marcus :
Hm... Hindi naman siya umiyak. I did as planned. Nung pinapunta ka sa kusina, ibinigay ko yung flowers sa kanya.
Jenessy :
(Holds breath) Tapos?
Marcus :
We started to talk. Ang tapang kanina ni Nanay -
Jenessy :
(Holding breath) Nagalit sayo?
Marcus :
(Chuckles) Are you breathing, Jen ko? Breathe first. Nothing bad happened.
Jenessy :
(Inhales sharply) Okay... Tapos?
Marcus :
I told her that I wanted to court you. O kung hindi pwede, I will wait until it's okay. (Pauses) We negotiate... Uhm...
Jenessy :
Negotiate about what..?
Marcus :
About you. (Long pause) She asked me first how I came to like you.
Jenessy :
(With panic) Hala!!! Sinabi mo yung ano... yung ano... as En...
Marcus :
(Chuckles) No. Siyempre, hindi.
Jenessy :
(Whiny voice) E di ano pala?
