R: *nods his head, wipes his tears and smiles* Ayan, Love. Tapos na. Di na ako iiyak. Excited na ako sa biyahe natin.

M: Ako din. Sobra.

R: Okay. Sige, Love. Maya-maya andyan na ako. Tulog ka na. I love you. *smiles and stares at his phone screen*

M: I love you more. *both kiss their phone screens at the same time*
********
May 8, 3am, Bulacan:
R arrives at the Mendoza residence and is let in.

R: Good morning po. Happy Mother's Day po. *hands bouquet of flowers to Nanay*

ND: Good morning. Thank you, iho. *receives the flowers and gives R a hug*

TD: Upo ka muna, Tisoy. Sabi nga ni Menggay magsusundo ka daw.

R sits on the couch while TD and ND sit across him.

M, Dean and Nico now going down the stairs with M's stuff.

Nico: Uy bro, aga mo ah. Natutulog ka ba?

R: Nakatulog naman sa sasakyan. Di muna ako magda-drive.

Dean: Kuya, malapit ka na sa airport ah tapos pumunta ka pa dito? Iba ka.. *chuckles*

R: *smiles* Hindi naman. Tama lang naman yun.

M: Dean, tama na yan. Namumula si RJ oh. *turns to R* Hello Love. *smiles, sits beside R, kisses his cheek*

R: Hi Love.

TD: Mabuti pa lumakad na tayo at baka mahuli pa kayo.

M: Ay, Tay. Sandali lang po. 5 minutes. *whispers to R* Halika sandali, Love. *stands up and tugs on R's sleeve*

R: Excuse lang po sandali. *addresses M's parents as they walk away*

M brings R infront of the altar.

M: Pray muna tayo para sa byahe at kay Tita na din.

R: Sige, Love.

They took a few minutes to pray. When M turns to R, she sees him wipe a few tears off.

M: *side hugs R* Okay ka lang? Ready?

R: Yes Love. Thank you. *takes M's hand, kisses it then places in on his cheek* Thank you.

M: Daming Thank you. *smiles* Halika na.

They walk back to the living room where they are also joined by M's sisters.

R: *smiles and gets the other bouquet of flowers on the table and gives it to Niki* Happy Mother's Day.

Ate N: Thank you. Naks. May pabulaklak na din ako.

M: Alam mo malapit na talaga akong maniwala na may Dangwa ka sa bulsa. Hanggang ganitong oras may pabulaklak pa din?

R: *laughs* Kahapon ko pa naihanda yan siyempre pati yung kina Lola at Mama. Sorry, Love. Wala muna sa'yo.

 Wala muna sa'yo
