Goodbye Girl (Chat MD Series #2)

Day 140

Ash :
How about your dreams for the last 364 days? (Laughs)

Helga :
Huh? Ano?

Ash :
I'd like to know about a lot of things. For the past year, everytime I see you looking at me, I was thinking if you ever dream of me.

(Long silence)

Ash :
Did you?

(Silence)

Helga :
Uh... oo..?

Ash :
(Probing voice) Hindi ka sigurado, Miss?

Helga :
(Teasing voice) Hmp. Ayoko nga. Matutuwa ka e.

Ash :
(Laughs) Tell me.

Helga :
I dream of you. Kahit nga pag gising ako.

(Silence)

Ash :
Tell me about those.

(Silence)

Helga :
Uh... I had a dream once. Last year pa, after nung nag-outreach kami... may hanging bridge dun sa location. Napanaginipan ko na tumatawid daw tayo sa hanging bridge. E takot ako sa heights. Tapos, ang weird kasi ang taas talaga nung bridge. Everytime I would be scared, you'd kiss me.

Ash :
Hm... I wouldn't do that.

Helga :
Huh?

Ash :
I dread heights, too. We'll squel together. (Laughs)

Helga :
(Laughs) Gosh. Takot ka rin sa heights? Why would I love you, then?

Ash :
Mahalin mo lang ako kahit san pa ako takot.

Helga :
(Laughs) Okay. Wala naman akong choice.

Ash :
(Chuckles) Masunuring bata a.

Helga :
Don't call me a kid anymore. Hmp.

Ash :
Masunuring brat?

Helga :
(Grunts) Ano ba?!

Ash :
(Laughs) I love you, pretty brat.

(Silence)

Helga :
So... Bale ano... Today is...

Ash :
Hm?

Helga :
First day as... ano. Alam mo yun..?

Ash :
As Mr. and Mrs. Millari? (Chuckles) Hindi pa.

Helga :
Hala! Hindi y-yun ang sinasabi ko!

Ash :
(Laughs loudly) Your first day as my girl?

Helga :
Uhum.

Ash :
I'd like to think that you are mine since day one. So, how do we count?

Helga :
(Swallows) (stutters) E... Uh... yung... wait. (Pause) (whiny voice) E... yung simula na lang kahapon! Dun mo sinabi yung ano e... di ba?

Ash :
(Laughs) Today's the second day I could tell you I love you. Let's mark the date yesterday as official.

Helga :
(Sighs) Okay.

Ash :
What are your activities for today?

Helga :
I have tutorials. AM at PM. Tapos, simba. Ikaw?

Ash :
(Breathes out) I'd like to see you... pero pupunta kami ni honey sa Laguna after lunch. Bukas pa kami babalik.

Helga :
A... aalis ka.

Ash :
Okay na rin yun kasi walang tao sa bahay. Bibisitahin lang namin ni honey yung bacteria testing namin kila Tito para walang masyadong iisipin pag-alis natin to Pangasinan sa Martes.

Helga :
Okay. Makikita naman kita sa Martes.

Ash :
Do well in your tutorials. Impress me.

Helga :
Tss. Talaga! Reward ko a!

Ash :
(Chuckles) For everytime you would impress me, you'll ask for a reward?

Helga :
Oo naman. Bakit? Bawal? Ayaw mo? Hmp.

Ash :
(Chuckles) Willingly, love.

Helga :
(Giggles) Dapat lang!

Ash :
Hm. What do you want?

Helga :
Date! (Giggles)

Ash :
(Laughs) Saan?

Helga :
Ewan ko kaya. Ikaw magplano kaya.

Ash :
Sige. Hm... (Pause) Maghahanap ako ng hanging bridge. Tatawid tayo run and everytime you will be scared, I will kiss you.

Helga :
E... ayaw mo nga rin sa heights e. Matatakot ka rin nun.

Ash :
Preferably. So, you'll have to kiss me, too. (Laughs)

Helga :
Salbahe. (Laughs)

Ash :
Seryoso ako, Helga.

Helga :
Tss. Maarte ka.

Ash :
Magpaplano ako ng date sa matataas na lugar.

Helga :
Magkakatotoo yung panaginip mo sa scalpel. (Giggles) Ibebenta ka per kilo. Kawawa ka, labs. (Giggles)

Ash :
(Laughs) Sabihin mo lang sa Kuya mo, taasan ang presyo.

(Both laughs)

Ash :
Start your day na. Para matapos agad. I'll call you in the evening.

Helga :
Okay. Ingat kayo sa biyahe mamaya. Alagaan mo si MM, mahal ni bestie yun.

Ash :
(Laughs) Iinggitin lang ako nun katatawag kay Jenjen.

Helga :
Maiinggit ka?

Ash :
I'd like to bring you with me but I can't. Maiinggit ba ako?

Helga :
Kainggit nga. Nakakapag-usap sila lagi.

Ash :
I'll try to change it. We have to be patient for now.

Helga :
Uhum.

Ash :
I'm going to message from time to time sa second account mo. Just post your updates on twitter so I'll know what you're doing.

Helga :
Okay. I will.

Ash :
Don't be too impatient, okay. Sa gabi lang tayo pwedeng mag-usap.

Helga :
Uhum.

(Both sighing)

Ash :
You have to hang up, love.

Helga :
Oo nga. I love you. Behave ka a.

Ash :
(Chuckles) I love you more. Think of me.

Call ended.
